People living there have to deal with lots of problems such as poverty and crime.
But it's hoped practising yoga can help reduce their stress and increase their happiness.
Watch Martin's report to hear how yoga has been helping the children... | Thousands of children in poor parts of Venezuela in South America are being taught yoga to help improve the quality of their lives. |
Can you summarize the following content in brief? | The charge follows Saturday's Championship game at the John Smith's Stadium, which Burton won 1-0 thanks to Jackson Irvine's stoppage-time winner.
The FA allege that, on approximately 88 minutes, both clubs "failed to ensure that their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion".
Both the Terriers and the Brewers have until 18:00 BST on 7 April to respond. | Huddersfield Town and Burton Albion have been charged with misconduct by the Football Association. |
Can you provide an overview of this section? | The CBI said "the urgent priority" was to reassure the markets and for the government and Bank of England "to shore up confidence and stability".
The British Chambers of Commerce said the immediate priority was market "stability and political clarity".
Bank of England governor Mark Carney promised support for financial markets.
He said the Bank is prepared to provide £250bn to support the markets, but added that "some market and economic volatility can be expected as this process unfolds".
The chief executive of advertising giant WPP, Sir Martin Sorrell, said he was "very disappointed" at the result. "This decision will create tremendous uncertainty, which will slow economic activity and decision making."
The boss of carmaker Aston Martin, Andy Palmer, said the firm was preparing for new trade tariff barriers. "Aston Martin will now orientate its business to deliver our mid-term plan in the context of the exit and the market volatility that may exist during the period of transition."
He said an EU exit would require additional "productivity and efficiency" gains.
Simon Walker, director general of the Institute of Directors, said: "While this may not have been the result that the majority of our members wanted, Britain has voted to leave the EU, and it is now imperative that our political leaders manage the transition as smoothly as possible.
"The weeks and months ahead are going to be a nervy time for business leaders, so they need to know that the government is focused on maintaining stability while a new relationship with the EU is established."
EU Referendum results
What next for the world's central banks?
Dr Adam Marshall, acting director general of the British Chambers of Commerce, said that companies would now want immediate clarity about a timetable to leave the EU.
He said: "Business will also want to see a detailed plan to support the economy during the coming transition period - as confidence, investment, hiring and growth would all be deeply affected by a prolonged period of uncertainty.
"If ever there were a time to ditch the strait-jacket of fiscal rules for investment in a better business infrastructure, this is it."
Carolyn Fairbairn, the CBI's director general, said many businesses "are used to dealing with challenge and change and we should be confident they will adapt".
"The choices we make over the coming months will affect generations to come. This is not a time for rushed decisions."
For union leaders the priority was to ensure protection of jobs. Most leading unions had campaigned to remain in the EU, although some, including those representing railway workers had backed Brexit.
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: "The British people have made their views clear. As the UK prepares to leave the European Union, the first priority now is to protect jobs and defend the living standards of working people.
"The government must urgently set out a plan to defend UK industry and keep British jobs. That means defending the pound and stimulating the economy. Working people must not pay the price for the decision to leave the EU." | UK business groups have said there is a need to maintain "stability" to avert a shock to the economy after the referendum result. |
Summarize the following piece. | Anderson, 33, has been struggling with tightness in his right calf muscle.
England's leading Test wicket-taker was rested for the warm-up match against South Africa A this week and has bowled just five overs on the tour.
Two from Steven Finn, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan or Mark Footitt are set to join Stuart Broad in England's attack.
Anderson played in all three Tests against Pakistan in the UAE over the autumn, where he took 13 wickets, but missed the final two Tests of the home Ashes series against Australia with a side strain.
Broad took eight wickets in the first innings of the fourth Ashes Test, a match England won by an innings and 78 runs.
"From Stuart's point of view we've got an obvious replacement as leader of the attack there and I'm sure he would show that he could handle that as he did against Australia in the fourth Test," said head coach Trevor Bayliss.
"It's always a concern if your leading bowler or leading batter misses a game, but the last time Jimmy missed one we did pretty well, so you never know."
Anderson, who had scans on his injury on Tuesday morning, was at a training session with his team-mates on Thursday but kicked a football with bowling coach Ottis Gibson instead of jogging with the rest of the squad.
He will do some light fitness work over the next few days before increasing the intensity of his workout to determine whether he can play in the second match of the four-Test series, which begins on 2 January.
Having experienced soreness in his calf since the start of the tour, his only spell of bowling came in a 13-a-side match against a South Africa Invitational XI last week. | England pace bowler James Anderson has been ruled out of the first Test against South Africa in Durban on 26 December because of injury. |
Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Members of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) will vote on whether to take industrial action following a 1% pay offer, with pay frozen for those earning more than £50,000.
The union also called for reforms to address the "huge differential" between the salaries of journalists, programme makers and senior managers.
The ballot will run from 20 June to 11 July.
"The union has argued for a genuine alternative to the excessive payments to managers and the waste in the corporation," NUJ general secretary Michelle Stanistreet said.
"There are structural changes that can be made that would result in fair pay and free up cash for programming.
"Our calculations show that if pay was capped at £150,000, this would free £20m which could be spent on journalism and programming.
"This would be to the benefit of the staff and licence payers."
Currently, director general Tony Hall and managing director Anne Bulford both earn £450,000 a year.
The NUJ said members felt "betrayed" by Lord Hall following the corporation's 1% pay offer, which is tied to a minimum of £390.
When the offer was announced last month, the director general said it was vital to demonstrate the BBC "gets austerity".
In response to the ballot, a BBC spokeswoman said: "We're surprised the NUJ has chosen to ballot their members whilst we are still in talks with the joint unions.
"The 1% pay increase we have offered is in line with the public sector. It is structured to benefit our lowest paid staff and excludes senior managers.
"The reality of the licence fee settlement means that we are constrained financially."
Last year BBC journalists threatened to strike over the 2013/14 pay offer of £600 for all staff, but dropped action after agreeing to an improved offer of £800 or 1%, whichever was higher. | Journalists at the BBC are to be balloted for strike action over pay. |
Summarize the information given below. | In a new book, Mr Blatter says he offered keen football fan Pierre Nkurunziza an ambassadorial role in exchange for the leader stepping down.
Mr Nkurunziza declined and won a controversial third term in office.
The Swiss foreign ministry confirmed it sought Mr Blatter's help but denied seeking Mr Nkurunziza's resignation.
"The intention was to contribute to a peaceful solution in order to prevent the current crisis in Burundi," a statement said.
The approach to Mr Nkurunziza took place in May last year, shortly after the protests began against his attempt to win another term.
The Burundian leader is known for his love of football - he owns his own side, Hallelujah FC, and once coached a Burundian first division team.
In his book, Mr Blatter is quoted as saying: "I proposed to the president... if it could be an advantage for him or his country, Fifa could deploy him as an ambassador for football in Africa, or the world."
But Mr Nkurunziza said no and was instead re-elected in a poll boycotted by the main opposition parties, who saw the bid as illegal.
Months of unrest have followed, with more than 400 people killed and tens of thousands fleeing the country.
Mr Nkurunziza's office told the BBC the Burundian president had been approached by Mr Blatter, and that the then-Fifa chief was being used by powerful Western nations, without naming them.
Mr Blatter resigned as boss of football's world governing body Fifa last year with the organisation mired in corruption allegations.
He has since been given a six-year ban from football by Fifa for ethics violations.
Japan's Nikkei 225 closed up just 0.12% at 20,407.08.
But on Thursday, the benchmark index marked its biggest percentage gain in four months.
"It's interesting to see that US retail sales are up," economist Tony Nash told the BBC, "as we've seen Asian exports down for the past several months."
"The real question for Asia is whether the US up-tick is a trend and if that will flow upstream to exports in Asia any time soon," said Mr Nash, managing partner of Complete Intelligence.
In Australia, the S&P/ASX 200 closed down 0.21% at 5,545.30, while South Korea's benchmark Kospi index closed down 0.22% at 2,052.17.
South Korean shares ended a four-day losing streak on Thursday after the country's central bank cut interest rates to a record low, citing a deadly outbreak of Mers as a concern for the economy.
In China, markets were setting a more positive trend, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng index up 0.5% at 27,043.43 in afternoon trade and the Shanghai Composite up 0.72% at 5,158.40.
Chinese markets experienced mixed trading on Thursday following data that showed both retail sales and industrial production rose in May from a year earlier, in line with expectations.
But fixed asset investment grew more slowly than forecast in the first five months of the year compared to a year ago.
Earlier this week, China's National Development and Reform Commission said that it had given approval for seven big new projects, including an airport expansion on Hainan - an island destination that is growing in popularity with holidaymakers.
Mr Nash said he expected fixed asset investment in China to see stronger growth in early 2016 in light of the Commission's announcement.
The announcement came after Yafai stretched his unbeaten record to 20 fights with a third-round stoppage of Nicaraguan Johnson Tellez on Saturday.
Panama's Concepcion defeated Kohei Kono in Tokyo in August to win the belt.

Yafai told Sky Sports: "Now I have the big fight and Concepcion is a great fighter, a two-weight world champion and it has the recipe to be a great fight." | Fifa ex-president Sepp Blatter says he was asked by the Swiss authorities to help ease Burundi's political crisis by offering the country's president a job.

Can you provide a summary of this content? | Kim Rose, standing in Southampton Itchen, said he had been told to report to police over allegations of treating.
Electoral Commission rules state food and entertainment cannot be provided by candidates to "corruptly influence" votes.
Hampshire police declined to comment.
Mr Rose said he held the event on 21 February at a community centre in Weston.
He invited veteran snooker star Jimmy White, who he described as a long-time friend, to play pool with local youngsters. Adult entrants were charged £2 for the event.
Mr Rose said: "It was fantastic day. We laid on teas, coffees, sandwiches and some sausage rolls. Now I've been reported for allegations of treating.
"Maybe it's bit naive but all the intentions were good.
"It's absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure people aren't going to change their mind [over voting] for a sausage roll," he said.
Mr Rose said he had been contacted by Hampshire Constabulary's Economic Crime Unit and asked to report to Romsey police station on Monday.
A force spokeswoman said: "In line with our policy, we would not comment on an issue relating to a non-arrested person."
The Electoral Commission said it was a police matter.
Its summary of electoral offences states: "A person is guilty of treating if... they directly or indirectly give or provide any food, drink, entertainment or provision to corruptly influence any voter to vote or refrain from voting.
"Treating requires a corrupt intent - it does not apply to ordinary hospitality."

Welshman Selby had hoped to fight his domestic rival before the end of July.
"If I was offered a title fight when I weren't a champion, I'd have divorced my wife to box for it," said Selby.
"I'd have put it on hold. I think he's just bottled it. He's missed his chance. The only chance he's got now is becoming the mandatory challenger."
Selby, who has defended his IBF world featherweight titles twice since winning it in May 2015, added: "I've seen reports their plan now is to become mandatory, where they only take 25% of the purse. And I couldn't see him winning a final eliminator."
A fight between the two had been building as former European champion Warrington's career progressed, with the Leeds fighter saying he wanted to face Selby after he retained his WBC international featherweight title with victory over Hisashi Amagasa in April.
"The plan was to fight Warrington in Leeds at the end of July. That would have been a high-profile fight in the UK," Selby added.
"Carl Frampton's fighting Leo Santa Cruz (for the WBA featherweight title on 30 July), then we were hoping Frampton would win, and we'd fight each other in a unification match. The fight's simple to make.
"Warrington has been calling me out after every fight he has. Now the fight's presented to him, he's pulled out due to the fact he's getting married at the end of the following month."
The 25-year-old Warrington, who has also won the British and Commonwealth titles, had spoken of his desire to instead face Selby in 2017.
The IBF champion's plan is to instead face the winner of July's fight between Northern Ireland's Frampton and Mexico's Santa Cruz. | A UKIP parliamentary candidate is to be questioned over allegations he tried to influence voters by giving away sausage rolls at a party event featuring snooker star Jimmy White.

Summarize the content provided below. | The High Court ruled in May that Jon Platt did not have to pay a £120 fine to Isle of Wight Council after he took his daughter to Florida in term-time.
It ruled that Mr Platt had no case to answer as, overall, his daughter had attended school regularly.
But councillors have confirmed they will challenge the High Court decision.
Critics had argued the High Court's decision meant there would be confusion around the rules on taking children out of English schools during term-time.
Isle of Wight Council, which is having its legal fees paid for by the Department for Education, said it had submitted papers applying for permission to appeal against the decision.
The council said it was acting after a formal request from schools minister Nick Gibb.
Council leader Jonathan Bacon made clear they would not have gone ahead with the appeal had government not underwritten it.
He said: "Our initial response was not to expend further Isle of Wight Council money on pursuing an appeal.
"However, as a result of the formal request from the minister, the local and national importance of this issue and the DfE's commitment to cover all the costs of the appeal and contribute to the council's previous costs, we have decided to lodge an appeal in order to resolve the issue for all."
The government had said it would look to change the law following the High Court ruling in May.
Term-time holiday: What are the rules?
BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins
Councillors tell me it's chaos.
The rules say parents in England can only take their children out of school in exceptional circumstances.
But the High Court backed a father who refused to pay a fine for doing just that.
It means many councils don't know whether they can enforce the rule or not.
Ministers said they would look to change the law, but are fighting this in the courts.
That will take months.
Clarity could be a long way off.
Since 2013, tougher government regulations have meant head teachers can only grant leave of absence to pupils in schools in England during term time in "exceptional circumstances".
Isle of Wight Council had asked the High Court to clarify whether a seven-day absence amounted to a child failing to attend regularly after magistrates ruled Platt did not have to pay the council fine.
But Lord Justice Lloyd Jones and Mrs Justice Thirlwall dismissed the council's challenge, ruling the magistrates were entitled to take into account the "wider picture" of the child's attendance record outside of the dates she was absent during the holiday.
According to local authority data, almost 64,000 fines were imposed for unauthorised absences between September 2013 and August 2014.
Many parents complain that the cost of going away in the school holidays can be four times as much as during term time - but the government says there is clear evidence "that every extra day of school missed can affect a pupil's chance of gaining good GCSEs, which has a lasting effect on their life chances". | A court decision not to fine a father who took his daughter on an unauthorised term-time holiday is set to be challenged. |
Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | Cisse was one of four people held by police over an alleged attempt to blackmail an international footballer.
The ex-Sunderland and QPR forward, 34, was questioned because he knew the others involved, police said.
French prosecutors said Cisse was not thought to be an instigator of the conspiracy.
An official said the attempted extortion - an offence which carries a minimum five-year sentence - involved video footage of sex that had been recorded on a mobile phone.
The alleged victim has not been identified by the authorities "out of respect for their private life", reported Associated Press news agency.
Cisse joined Liverpool from Auxerre for a then club-record fee of £14m in 2004. He scored 24 goals in 79 appearances for the Merseyside club - winning the Champions League and the FA Cup - before leaving in 2007.
He then returned to the Premier League with Sunderland in 2008, netting 11 goals during a season-long loan, before signing for QPR in January 2012, for whom he scored 10 goals in an 18-month spell.
Cisse, who was released by Ligue 1 side Bastia in the summer, also scored nine times for France in 41 appearances.
Several vehicles are thought to have struck Nichola Tyson as she attempted to cross the A590 at Levens, near Kendal on 2 March.
The 35-year-old was described by her family as "a vibrant, caring person" who was full of life and who would be sadly missed.
Cumbria Police have appealed for witnesses to the incident.
Nick Jones has been responsible since 2007 for licensing and regulating buses, coaches and good vehicles.
His previous part-time role also covered the West Midlands, but from October he will be dedicated to Wales with three bilingual support staff.
Economy Secretary Ken Skates said there would be "increased and more effective engagement" with the industry.
"Infrastructure improvements across Wales, as well as our M4 around Newport projects and Metro proposals, provide an exciting opportunity to tackle some of our most longstanding traffic and infrastructure difficulties," he added.
The new Welsh Government funding will be added to Mr Jones's existing budget from the UK Department for Transport.
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service said crews from Ely and Caerphilly were called to the incident at 15:45 GMT.
A fire service rescue team boat from Barry was also at the scene.
It follows a major rescue operation in Glynneath, Neath Port Talbot, on Wednesday after reports a person was in the River Neath. A body was later found.

Lopez, 35, saved a match point to win 4-6 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (10-8) at Queen's.
The Spaniard missed a match point against Grigor Dimitrov in the 2014 final, but got his hands on the trophy at the 12th time of asking.
"I cannot believe that I have finally won this trophy," world number 32 Lopez told BBC Sport.
"I have been waiting for so long, 15 or 16 years, to be here holding this trophy."
Both men had dropped serve only once on their way through the draw and the final was, predictably, a match of fleeting opportunities that came down to a deciding tie-break.
Lopez saw two match points slip by before taking his third after two hour and 31 minutes.
The grass-court specialist had said before the match how much the tournament means to him, and flew his parents in from Spain on Sunday morning to watch the final.
Cilic, 28, would end the week having lost just that one service game, and none in the final, but after edging the opening set he could not capitalise on an early chance in the second.
Lopez kept pace with Cilic as serve dominated, and got the better of two contrasting tie-breaks.
He raced into a 6-1 lead in the first, levelling at one set all when Cilic found the tramlines, and then held his nerve in a dramatic decider.
Lopez lunged to his left and volleyed into the open court to save the first match point of the tie-break, and then saw Cilic save one with his 22nd ace, and a second - on Lopez's serve - with a volley.
It was Cilic who finally cracked, hooking a forehand wide and prompting an emotional Lopez to head into the crowd to celebrate with his team and family.
Lopez claimed his sixth career title and took his record on grass this season to 9-1, having finished runner-up in Stuttgart last week.
"I thought at the end of the tie-break, after missing match points, that I was not going to be able to make it," said Lopez.
"It is tough to put the match where I lost to Dimitrov out of my mind. I was serving for the match again and it was difficult to handle my nerves but I managed it.
"It is tough to believe at 35 that I am playing my best tennis, but I think I am."
Cilic will head into Wimbledon hopeful of improving on three successive quarter-final places, with a likely seeding of six.
He said: "It was a really high level of tennis and it was a pleasure to play. It was an amazing match.
"I had chances in the second set to get a break up but Feliciano played very well. He always plays well on grass and he deserves the title.
"I played great tennis this week and I enjoyed every single day. It was great preparation for Wimbledon."

John Lloyd, former British number one and 1977 Australian Open finalist:
They are both so sharp right now. Apart from the physical recovery, they would like to play Wimbledon tomorrow. They are peaking.
Cilic didn't lose his serve today and lost the title. He did everything he could but it came down to one point.
Peter Fleming, seven-time Grand Slam doubles champion:
I'm amazed that they played as well as they did. There were so few unforced errors. It was an incredibly high-quality match.

Give a brief summary of the following article. | McIlroy moved to Nike on a multi-million dollar deal in 2013 which included golf equipment and apparel.
The company announced last August that it would no longer produce clubs, balls and bags but instead concentrate on golf clothing and footwear.
"I'm really happy to continue this journey with Nike," said McIlroy, 27.
"I've loved this company since I was a kid."
In a further tweet, McIlroy said that he was "looking forward to the next 10 plus years as a Nike athlete".
McIlroy will aim to complete the career Grand Slam at this week's Masters in Augusta.
It follows a review sparked by concerns well-known businesses would be put off coming to the city by a presumption that licences would be refused.
Since 2013, applicants have had to prove to Swansea council their proposal would not negatively impact the area.
It came after a report said the city centre had reached "saturation point", particularly around Wind Street.
A cumulative impact policy (CIP) was put in place focusing on the main drinking areas including Wind Street and Kingsway which made it harder to gain licences.
Its aims were to prevent crime, disorder and areas becoming a public nuisance along with improving public safety and protecting children from harm.
But a report to council said: "Concern has been expressed that due to the presumption that licences will be refused in the CIP area, reputable operators of well-run licensed premises, which potentially could have a positive effect on the area, will not be attracted to the city or could be prevented from obtaining a licence due to the process involved."
Now changes have been proposed which allow theatres, cinemas, restaurants and premises where alcohol is supplied only from a waiter or waitress between 10:00 and 01:00 to be exempt from the CIP as well as non-alcohol led premises.
But the move has raised some questions.
SA Brain, which has pubs in the city centre, said it was not happy over the last two elements.
It said non-alcohol led premises was "a very broad definition" and night clubs could argue they are exempt because dancing facilities are the main offering.
The brewery also claimed modern drink-led premises could claim to be exempt as they offer a waiter and waitress service for their customers.
It also opposed expanding the CIP area.
The changes are due to be rubber-stamped by the council on Thursday. | Rory McIlroy has signed a new "10-year plus" clothing contract with Nike despite the company's recent departure from the golf clubs market.

Summarize the content provided below. | Twice they scored from Liam Craig corners, Steven Anderson and Steven Maclean both heading home.
Craig switched from creator to finisher with number three before half-time with yet another headed goal.
And David Wotherspoon rounded off the victory right at the death as Stirling were outclassed.
It did not take Saints long to assert themselves. Anderson headed in his first goal of the season in the fourth minute with a back post header on the end of Craig's in swinging corner.
And it was another Craig corner which created St Johnstone's second goal 12 minutes before the break. It was flicked on at the near post and Maclean netted with an unmarked header.
Stirling Albion's Bryan Hodge fizzed a 25-yarder a couple of feet too high as they failed to trouble Saints keeper Alan Mannus.
And the Perth team wrapped up their League Cup progression with a third goal in the 43rd minute. MacLean was given all the time and room he wanted to flight a cross for Craig to glance a header past Chris Smith for 3-0.
Keeper Smith picked up what looked like a bad injury in the second half when he fell awkwardly in catching a cross and there was a lengthy delay while he was attended to on the pitch before being stretchered off.
Saints striker MacLean could have helped himself to a hat trick, missing a series of glaring opportunities, but he did lay the ball back for Wotherspoon to round off an easy win, lashing home the fourth goal in stoppage time. | St Johnstone cruised into the League Cup last sixteen with a 4-0 home win against Stirling Albion. |

Can you summarize this content? | And yet that is what many boardrooms from Berlin to Baden Wurttemberg will be doing this morning, however discreetly, after Jeremy Corbyn outperformed expectations and ate into the Conservative Party's majority.
The reason for this embrace, simply, is the single market.
Initially, there had been little-to-no interest in the UK election in German business circles. Most, like the polls, assumed a comprehensive win for Theresa May, and the size of her majority was seen as being of negligible consequence to the direction of Brexit negotiations.
As one chief executive of a German-based multinational put it: "A weak or strong UK government still really has no negotiation power in the Brexit. The EU will still set the agenda and terms."
Indeed, many firms, especially those in the Mittelstand - Germany's small and medium-sized businesses that often have close links to the UK - had been working on the assumption of a so-called "hard Brexit" for months. Quite a few mentioned that they were courting other growing EU export markets - Poland, for example.
But as the polls began to narrow, there was a last minute scurry to understand what a Jeremy Corbyn-led approach to Brexit would be - with some privately concluding that the chances of keeping Britain in the single market might be higher under Mr Corbyn, even as they disagreed with many parts of his economic platform.
What seemed like a last ditch effort by the head of the BDA, the German Employers Association, to find a solution that would enable the UK government to negotiate some form of single market access after Brexit, suddenly didn't seem as far-fetched.
This morning, Ingo Kramer, the BDA's president, wasted no time in declaring that the UK election results showed "nationalism and anti-EU rhetoric" could not lead to majorities, before adding, somewhat triumphantly:
"We can only hope that more realism and pragmatism will now be injected into the Brexit negotiations."
Jorg Kramer, Commerzbank's chief economist, reacted with similar cheer, saying Thursday's result was a "vote against a hard Brexit".
The head of the BDI, Dieter Kempf, said a "hard Brexit" had been voted out, and that it was time for the UK government to " de-escalate its rhetoric".
The Dax share index in Frankfurt rose by almost 1%.
Yet the reaction has not been unanimously favourable.
Some, including the quietly influential VDMA - which represents German engineering firms, said they feared a hung parliament or minority government would derail negotiations for months, or kick them into the long grass, leading to far greater uncertainty.
"The unclear political situation after the elections in the UK will make the Brexit negotiations even more difficult," said Thilo Brodtmann, VDMA's chief executive.
Mr Brodtmann added that the result was "bad news" for German mechanical engineering firms, who export 7.3bn euros worth to the UK every year, and that there was now an increased risk of no agreement being reached by the 2019 deadline.
Martin Wansleben, who leads the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce, or DIHK, struck a similarly downbeat tone.
The lack of a clear majority had led to an increase of uncertainty in the German economy, he said, and the "road map for Brexit negotiations is now obsolete".
A handful of small business owners, whose trade links with the UK are less vital, suggested a swift and smooth Brexit resolution remained paramount, as the act itself had long been priced in, whether hard or soft.
But regardless of the reaction, one thing seems certain. German interest in the intricacies of the UK parliamentary system has never been this high. | It's a strange day when German business leaders - hardly known for their Bolshevism - are tentatively raising their glasses to toast a favourable election result for a left-wing, pro-borrowing, high-spending candidate. |
Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | He told BBC Wales Theresa May's "general principle" was that "many" powers returned from the EU would go to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
But he said "no specific decisions on individual elements" had been made.
On Monday, Welsh ministers welcomed Mrs May's "commitment" there would be no Brexit "land grab" on devolved powers.
Speaking to The Wales Report on Wednesday, Mr Cairns said the passing of the latest Wales Act showed that the UK government wanted to extend the remit of the assembly, saying it was the "general principle" for powers being returned from the EU.
However, he said there had to be a framework that worked for the whole of the UK.
"We've talked about the principle that we want to devolve as much as possible, we want to give as much flexibility as possible to the devolved administrations to act within the areas they act at the moment, but we need to ensure that the UK market works," he said.
Mr Cairns added that the new Wales Act was "a long-term deal" and "very good" for Wales.
He also said that the UK government's desire for a free trade deal without membership of the single market was "not inconsistent" with Welsh ministers' call for "full and unfettered" access to the single market.
Wales' Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford told the programme: "I think we're beginning to hear UK ministers using some of the language we have used in relation to the importance of access to the single market; the fullest possible access - the prime minister said."
Mrs May has said that the UK will not pay "vast contributions" to the EU to access the single market, but Mr Cairns would not be drawn on the detail.
"Clearly I want the best deal that works for every part of the UK and I'm there at the cabinet table to make sure that it works for Wales," he said.
"I am not going to second guess where we are going to get to because there's a way to go in that process. I am optimistic that we'll get a good deal".
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "During their meeting on Monday the Prime Minister made a firm commitment to the First Minister that Brexit would not be used as cover for a 'land grab' on devolved powers.
"We welcome this commitment and await details of the great repeal bill with interest."

Summarize this article briefly. | The prime minister said his initiative to give a greater role for community and voluntary groups was intended to change the way the country was run.
Writing in the Observer, he accepted that such organisations might need help in the face of government cuts.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said the Big Society was a "failure" and a return to the Thatcherite policies of the 1980s.
The Big Society is central to Mr Cameron's plan to shrink the size for the state, with individuals and voluntary groups taking more responsibility for delivering public services.
But charity leaders have accused it of being undermined by government spending cuts.
Sir Stephen Bubb, who heads the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations, told Sky News: "If you want to build a bigger society you have got to have the foundation there and that's the charities, the social enterprises, the community groups and they are the very ones that are being hit. They are making redundancies, they are cutting the work they do in communities.
"So you can hardly build a bigger society if the very people at the heart of that vision are cutting back on the work they do."
Defending the Big Society in the Observer, Mr Cameron said: "Building a stronger, bigger society is something we should try and do whether spending is going up or down.
"But there is a broader point to be made. As the state spends less and does less - which would be happening whichever party was in government - there would be a positive benefit if some parts of society were to step forward and do more."
The prime minister said billions of pounds of government contracts would be opened up to bids from groups within society.
"The scale of this opportunity dwarfs anything they've ever had before," he said.
Mr Cameron said the government would announce details in the coming week of a £100m transition fund to help groups at a time when local councils were seeing their budgets cut.
There will also be a Big Society bank to inject £200m of working capital for projects approved under the scheme - with an announcement due on Monday.
Rejecting the notion that the Big Society was too vague, Mr Cameron said: "True, it doesn't follow some grand plan or central design.
"But that's because the whole approach of building a bigger, stronger, more active society involves something of a revolt against the top down, statist approach of recent years.
"The Big Society is about changing the way our country is run. That's why the Big Society is here to stay."
But Labour leader Ed Miliband branded the Big Society a "failure", which had been destroyed by government cuts.
"No one can volunteer at a library or a Sure Start centre if it's being closed down," he said in an article for The Independent on Sunday.
"And nor can this Conservative-led government build a Big Society while simultaneously undermining its foundations with billions of pounds worth of cuts to the voluntary sector."
He added: "What does all this substance and style remind us of? The early 1980s, and the Thatcher government which appeared intent on ripping apart our social and economic fabric."
And shadow cabinet office minister Tessa Jowell said she was unconvinced by the government's defence of its idea.
"The fact that David Cameron has had to come rowing to the rescue of his version of the Big Society suggests that all the problems that he identified in his Observer newspaper article are true.
"It's too vague, that people don't understand what it means, centrally that you cannot combine greater responsibility for civil society, voluntary and community organisation, with cuts in the money that support them to do the work that they do."
But, in a robust defence of the Big Society on BBC1's Politics Show, Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude rejected the Labour leader's claim that volunteers would have nowhere to work.
He said: "It's such a silly thing to say because actually there is so much going on, there are so many ways in which people can get involved and do get involved.
"We have got to look at ways of doing things differently. The idea that you've got to have your Sure Start centre and your library and everything all in separate places because otherwise there won't be places for people to volunteer is simply absurd.
"It's such an old-fashioned way of looking at things."

Selby's IBF featherweight world title defence against Jonathan Victor Barros in Las Vegas was called off on Friday.
The Welshman has said Carl Frampton and Abner Mares, the regular WBA champion, could be future opponents.
"Selby's not really had that one big fight which can make him that name," Khan told BBC Wales Sport.
"I think beating someone like Abner Mares or someone like [Leo] Santa Cruz or Frampton would definitely take him to a different level.
"They're big names in the world of boxing and [some] have titles so, definitely by beating one of those big names, Selby would be right up there.
"I think Selby has the talent to do it. He's a prospect to keep an eye on in the future."
Selby's third defence of his IBF world title was meant to take place on the undercard of Frampton's WBA featherweight title bout with Mexico's Leo Santa Cruz at the MGM Grand.
If he had beaten Barros, Selby was planning to challenge Frampton - with the Northern Irishman saying he would like the fight to take place at Belfast's Windsor Park.

The abandonment of Selby's fight against Barros could delay those plans but, whenever it may happen, it is a fight Khan would like to see materialise.
"I like Selby. Selby is a very good fighter. He's a world champion himself, having that IBF title," the 2004 Olympic lightweight silver medallist added.
"The fight between Santa Cruz and Frampton is for a world title so unifying it and to have it [a Selby-Frampton fight] in the UK would be massive.
"Two British fighters fighting for two world titles in the same division would be huge. I think that could happen in the future."
The featherweight division is one of boxing's most competitive and open at the moment, and a bout between Selby and three-time world champion Mares would also excite Khan.
"It makes sense. Us fighters will fight anyone, whoever they put us in front of," he said.
"I think that Abner - I know him, I've trained with him - is a good fighter. I think that would be a good fight for Abner to have.
"And the winner of that could go on and fight the winner of the Frampton fight." | Lee Selby needs a high-profile fight to take his career to the next level, according to former light-welterweight world champion Amir Khan. |
Can you summarize the following information? | Billy McBurney was the founder of Belfast's Outlet Records company.
He produced music from both sides of the sectarian divide in the darkest days of the Troubles while selling records at his Smithfield Market shop.
He recorded acts as diverse as Stiff Little fingers, the Dubliners and Philomena Begley.
His biggest seller was the infamous rebel song the Men Behind The Wire in 1971.
Mr McBurney's son Martin said the song was put out by the Andersonstown Residents Association in Belfast as a protest song.
"My dad had obviously had the recording studio and recorded it and put it out and pressed it and distributed it," he said.
"It was number one in the Irish charts for several weeks, but RTE [the Irish state broadcaster] banned it and never played it.
"At the time it was a fairly massive song."
Mr McBurney said the record had to be pressed in London as his father could not get it done in Dublin.
He said the company who pressed it sent back a master copy - a silver plate - which had engraved on it "freedom to you all".
Among Outlet's other biggest sellers were Orange band recordings and Martin McBurney said his father had no problem recording music from whatever source.
"His philosophy was sort of in the Wolfe Tone tradition, you know, Protestants, dissenters and everyone, there was no issue in that, they were all Irish men at the back of it all."
Despite this, the Troubles came to Mr McBurney.
He was shot by loyalists and a shop and a warehouse in Smithfield were blown-up, it is believed by the IRA.
Mr McBurney was also interned by the security forces.
Author and photographer Bobbie Hanvey said that led to an ironic nickname for Mr McBurney.
"He was shot by the loyalists, he was blown up by the Provos and he was put into Long Kesh [prison] by the British. His nickname was Lucky," Mr Hanvey said.
"He was in during the internment thing and his accountants and all were going into the prison and getting his books right and he was telling them what people to record. I think he was a genius really."
Mr Hanvey said Mr McBurney opened his first studio in Belfast's Bank Street in 1966, but had no artists to record.
"He went down to Kelly's Cellars [bar] one night and Tom McHale was there, he was the all-Ireland tin whistle champion," he said.
"After they had a few drinks together, Billy brought him back to the studio and they recorded him and that was Billy's first LP on the Outlet label."
Mr McBurney also distributed US acts such as Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings and promoted concerts in his early years.
"Billy was one of Northern Ireland's best businessmen, most successful businessmen," Mr Hanvey said.

One of those arrested was taken to hospital following the crash that happened shortly after 04:00 GMT.
Police said they received several reports of a fire engine having crashed into a number of cars and gardens.
They said two men left the scene of the crash. One of them was later taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries and has since been released.
Both men are in police custody.
The fire engine ended up in the front garden of John Lashford's home. He described what happened early on Saturday morning.
"There was a long continuous crash, crash, bang, bang, bang, culminating in a final big bang at the end," he said.
"I jumped immediately out of bed, looked out the bedroom window and looked down. I could not believe my eyes. There was a fire engine in my front garden.
"Then, I looked at the absolute carnage of the cars littered down the road that had been smashed."
Residents of the Victorian Street have described the scene they awoke to this morning as "surreal".
There was a car on its roof, five others damaged and strewn across the road and a fire appliance lying abandoned in a garden parallel to the downstairs window of the last house on the street.
The fire engine had been stolen from the station 500 metres away at about 4am. Two people have now been arrested.
Several residents have been told not to return to their homes due to the risk of structural damage.
Many others on the street have spent the morning on the phone hoping their insurance companies will cover the damage.

"They caused a lot of damage by what they have done," he said.
"They have been putting lives at risk by their behaviour. So we can only hope that they will understand what they have done has been very selfish and very dangerous indeed."

What is the summary of the provided article? | Spokesman Capt Jeff Davis said the camp in Idlib province had been in operation since 2013.
The attack involved a B-52 bomber and an undisclosed number of drones, officials said.
The strike on Thursday was the second major US military attack in the final hours of Barack Obama's presidency.
Less than 24 hours earlier, a combination of B-2 stealth bombers and drones killed up to 90 so-called Islamic State (IS) militants in two camps in a remote area of Libya, officials said.
Capt Davis said the Syria attack disrupted training operations "and discourages hard-line Islamist and Syrian opposition groups from joining or co-operating with al-Qaeda on the battlefield".
He said it capped a series of successful strikes against al-Qaeda recently.
"These strikes, conducted in quick succession, degrade al-Qaeda's capabilities, weaken their resolve, and cause confusion in their ranks," he said.
Shona Haslam will lead a coalition with independents in running the local authority.
The newly-elected councillor admitted it had been something of a surprise to be selected for the role.
However, she said roads, education, waste management and ensuring the best outcomes for the elderly and young people were areas she would focus on.
Her party won most seats last week with 15, ahead of the SNP on nine, eight independents and two Lib Dems.
The administration will be officially approved by full council on 18 May when Ms Haslam will take up the post previously occupied by independent David Parker.
"It was a bit of a shock to the system but a pleasant shock," she admitted.
"I am really looking forward to the challenge. It is really about doing the day job isn't it?"
She said there were a number of key areas she hoped to tackle.
"It is really about focusing on roads, focusing on education, looking at the waste management situation that is currently in the Borders and looking at outcomes for the elderly and young people," she said.
"These are going to be my key areas that I will be looking at going forward."
Ms Haslam said education and issues surrounding young people would be of particular importance.
"We need to make sure that our schools are absolutely fit for purpose," she said.
"We want to create cathedrals for our children - places where they can learn in an environment that is cutting edge, that they prosper in, that they have room to move and room to breathe."
She said additional and special-needs provision was also a key area, along with caring for vulnerable children.
"One of the things I campaigned on a lot was having a joined-up approach," she said.
"It is really making sure that social work and education and health are all talking to each other about these children and making the children at the centre of decision-making."
Ms Haslam said services should be brought to the child rather than them having to try to access various services.

Please provide a summary for the content below. | The long-awaited report said ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair had overstated the threat posed by Saddam Hussein - and military action was not a last resort.
Sir Jeremy Greenstock, UK ambassador to the UN in 2003, said Mr Blair had wanted a UN resolution backing action.
But he told the BBC senior US officials thought it was a "waste of time".
The Chilcot report was published on Wednesday having taken seven years to compile.
Sir John Chilcot - chairman of the UK's Iraq War inquiry - concluded Mr Blair had sent ill-prepared troops into battle and had "wholly inadequate" plans for the aftermath.
The 2003 invasion had not been the "last resort" action presented to MPs and the public, Sir John said, adding that there had been no "imminent threat" from Saddam Hussein, and the intelligence case was "not justified".
Sir Jeremy said he felt Mr Blair had wanted to wait longer before taking military action.
It would have been "much safer" to give weapons inspectors in Iraq another six months to continue their work, he added.
"I felt that at the time, the British felt it at the time, I think the prime minister felt it at the time, that the Americans pushed us into going into military action too early," he told BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight.
Mr Blair had wanted to secure a UN resolution before the conflict but US officials were not committed to a resolution, he added.
"The Americans weren't genuine about it - but the prime minister was genuine about it - because he thought there was a chance that Saddam could be made to back down before we had to use military force.
"And George Bush for a while agreed with him. But other people behind George Bush didn't agree with him and thought it was a waste of time."
General Tim Cross - the most senior British officer involved in planning the war - said former US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld would not listen either to the UN or the UK about the aftermath of the invasion.
He said the US had dismantled the Iraqi army and the ruling Ba'ath party without consultation.
The US administrator to Iraq at the time, Paul Bremer, told the BBC's Newsnight that British officials had been thoroughly briefed on the strategy for dealing with the Ba'ath party.
"That particular decision was approved by the president of the United States, the secretary of defence, by the joint chiefs of staff of the United States.
"It was previously discussed by my national security adviser with authorities in London 10 days before it was issued - he received no objections," he added.
The US State Department said it would not respond to the Chilcot report's findings as it was focusing on present issues in the Middle East.
"We are not going to examine it, we are not going to try to make an analysis of it or make judgement of the findings one way or another," a spokesman said.
"Our focus is on the challenges we have in Iraq and Syria right now."
Following the publication of the report, Mr Blair said he took responsibility for "mistakes in planning and process" identified by the inquiry.
He said he felt "more sorrow, regret and apology than you may ever know" for the grief of those whose loved ones died.
But he insisted he could look the families in the eye - and the nation - and state that he did not mislead anyone over the invasion, the service personnel did not die in vain, and he was right to do what he did.
A spokesman for some of the families of the 179 British service personnel and civilians killed in Iraq between 2003 and 2009 said their loved ones had died "unnecessarily and without just cause and purpose".
He said all options were being considered, including asking those responsible for the failures identified in the report to "answer for their actions in the courts if such process is found to be viable".
Prime Minister David Cameron, who voted for war in 2003, told MPs it was important to "really learn the lessons for the future" and to improve the workings of government and how it treats legal advice.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn - who voted against military action - said the report proved the Iraq War had been an "act of military aggression launched on a false pretext", something he said which has "long been regarded as illegal by the overwhelming weight of international opinion". | The US pushed the UK into military action in Iraq "too early", a former British ambassador to the UN has said in the wake of the Chilcot report. |

British cycling legend Sir Bradley Wiggins defended his use of powerful anti-inflammatory drug triamcinolone before the 2011 and 2012 Tour de France races saying the medication "put him back on a level playing field" as he suffered from allergies and respiratory problems and it did not give him any "unfair advantage".
Cookson defended the system saying the levels of scrutiny on each TUE application was "a higher standard than required by international norms".
"The UCI strengthened its TUE assessment process in June 2014 during the first year of my presidency," said Cookson.
"This change put in place a more robust, independent three-person TUE Committee made up of independent experts that requires unanimity before sanctioning any TUE request.
"The number of TUEs the UCI has sanctioned in recent years is declining - from 31 in 2013 to 13 last year."

Provide a brief summary of this section. | On the morning of 17 January 1917, Nigel de Grey walked into his boss's office in Room 40 of the Admiralty, home of British code-breakers.
It was obvious to Reginald "Blinker" Hall that his subordinate was excited.
"Do you want to bring America into the war?" De Grey asked.
The answer was obvious. Everyone knew that America entering World War One to fight the Germans would help break the stalemate.
"Yes, my boy. Why?" Hall answered.
"I've got something here which - well, it's a rather astonishing message which might do the trick if we could use it," De Grey said.
The previous day, the German foreign minister, Arthur Zimmermann, had sent a message to the German ambassador to Washington.
The message used a code that had been largely cracked by British code-breakers, the forerunners of those who would later work at Bletchley Park.
Zimmermann had sent instructions to approach the Mexican government with what seems an extraordinary deal: if it was to join any war against America, it would be rewarded with the territories of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
"This may be a very big thing, possibly the biggest thing in the War. For the present, not a soul outside this room is to be told anything at all," Hall said after reading it.
Part of the problem was how the message had been obtained.
German telegraph cables passing through the English Channel had been cut at the start of the War by a British ship.
So Germany often sent its messages in code via neutral countries.
Germany had convinced President Wilson in the US that keeping channels of communication open would help end the War, and so the US agreed to pass on German diplomatic messages from Berlin to its embassy in Washington.
The message - which would become known as the Zimmermann Telegram - had been handed, in code, to the American Embassy in Berlin at 15:00 on Tuesday 16 January.
The American ambassador had queried the content of such a long message and been reassured it related to peace proposals.
By that evening, it was passing through another European country and then London before being relayed to the State Department in Washington.
From there, it would eventually arrive at the German embassy on 19 January to be decoded and then recoded and sent on via a commercial Western Union telegraphic office to Mexico, arriving the same day.
Thanks to their interception capability process, Britain's code-breakers were reading the message two days before the intended recipients (although they initially could not read all of it).
A coded message about attacking the US was actually passed along US diplomatic channels.
And Britain was spying on the US and its diplomatic traffic (something it would continue to do for another quarter of a century).
The cable was intelligence gold-dust and could be used to persuade America to join the War.
But how could Britain use it - when to do so would reveal both that they were breaking German codes and that they had obtained the message by spying on the very country it was hoping to become its ally?
Hall had all the copies locked in his desk while he decided what to do and asked for the rest to be decoded.
London was betting that Germany's use of unrestricted submarine warfare - attacking merchant shipping - would be enough to draw America into the War.
When the signs were that an extra push might be needed, it was decided to deploy the Zimmermann Telegram.
Room 40 asked one of its contacts to get hold of a copy of anything sent to the German embassy in Mexico from the US. This provided another copy of the telegram.
Britain could then plausibly claim this was how it had got hold of the message and get round the problem of admitting it was spying on its friends.
Britain also had to convince the Americans that the message had not been concocted as part of a ruse to get them into the War.
Eventually, the US obtained its own copy from the Western Union telegraphic company, and De Grey then decoded it himself in front of a representative at the US embassy in London.
This meant technically all parties could claim that it had been decoded on US territory.
"Good Lord," President Wilson said when he was told of the details.
The telegram was then leaked to the American press and published to general amazement on 1 March 1917 (with credit attached to the American Secret Service rather than the British to avoid awkward questions of British manipulation).
Whatever scepticism was left was dispelled when Zimmermann himself took the odd move of confirming he had sent it. A month later, America was in the War.
It would be too much to claim the Zimmermann Telegram single-handedly brought America into the War.
Germany's policy of unrestricted submarine warfare can take more credit for that.
But the telegram was useful for convincing the American public that it should be sending its men over to Europe to fight.
The telegram had proved the perfect justification for a change of policy and to convince some of the sceptics.
It was, many believed, the single greatest intelligence triumph for Britain in World War One.
It was also an early sign of the potential impact of intercepting communications, a lesson which the few British and American officials in on the real story were determined to learn from as they set about building their capability.
Early in World War Two, before America had formally entered the War, it would send a team of its best code-breakers on a clandestine mission to Britain to establish a relationship with their counterparts.
The Road to Bletchley Park exhibition at the former wartime site features a copy of the Zimmermann Telegram and details of its role.
Today, the two allies have GCHQ and the NSA - two vast intelligence agencies involved in interception and code-breaking.
They also have a pact which means that - on the whole - they are not supposed to spy on each other.
The BBC World Service Witness programme recently told the story of how the British managed to intercept the telegram, and heard from some of the code-breakers involved.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | She laid a wreath at the Lion of England bronze statue at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire after a service earlier.
Since the regiment was set up in 2006, its soldiers have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan where 32 have died.
The dedication service was attended by wounded veterans, Army personnel, families and friends.
The infantry regiment was formed after the merger of the King's Own Royal Border Regiment, the King's Regiment and the Queen's Lancashire Regiment.
The lion faces north-west England in tribute to the origins of the regiment, of which the Queen, who holds the title of Duke of Lancaster, is Colonel-in-Chief.
It recruits soldiers Cumbria, Lancashire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester.
Stonemason Nick Johnson and sculptor Georgie Welch crafted the lion from clay before it was cast at a foundry.
Ms Welch said: "The Queen said it was very life-like and that it had a real look of power. She also said it looked fearless."
The new statue is one of more than 300 dedicated memorials in the 150-acre site in Staffordshire.
For those whose loved ones are remembered by the new memorial, today was a day of pride and poignancy.
Naturally, there was was sadness recalling lives cut short too soon. But there was pride too in the fact they died for Queen and country.
Tracy Dunn-Bridgeman, from Liverpool, was among those who made the journey to the National Memorial Arboretum. She lost her son Jason to the Afghanistan conflict in 2009.
She said: "They say the Regiment's its own little family, and although the lads have all got their individual headstones, this is a family headstone for want of a better description."
Darren Deady, from Westhoughton near Bolton, had wanted to be a soldier from being a boy. He was injured in Afghanistan and died in 2010.
Today his mum Julie Hall and bother Daniel watched the Queen dedicate the new memorial to the fallen of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment with a deep sense of pride.
"It's beautiful," said Mrs Hall. "It remembers all the boys and all the boys are together."

She will be replaced by The Paradise's Elaine Cassidy.
Donmar's artistic director, Josie Rourke, said she hopes "to work with Michelle in the future".
"I can't wait to work with Elaine and our fantastic company when rehearsals start on Monday," she added.
Cassidy returns to the Donmar having appeared in its production of Fathers And Sons last year.
She joins a previously announced cast which includes Dominic West, Una Stubbs and Janet McTeer.

They compete in games of seduction and revenge which lead to the beautiful Madame de Tourvel becoming one of Valmont's unfortunate targets.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | The company said it would close all operations this year as there was "no reasonable path to profitability" in the two countries.
The move comes after rival US car firm General Motors last year said it would pull out of Indonesia.
In 2015, Ford sales accounted for just 0.1% of the Japanese market and only 0.6% in Indonesia.
In a statement, Ford spokesman Neal McCarthy said: "Japan is the most closed, developed auto economy in the world, with all imported brands accounting for less than 6% of Japan's annual new car market."
The 12-nation Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement in its current form would not improve Ford's ability to compete there, he added.
"It's another step in the global defeat of the US car industry," analyst Simon Littlewood of Asia Now told the BBC.
"It never really made sense for them to be in either Japan or Indonesia, selling only around 5 to 6,000 vehicles in each of those markets - that's a tiny proportion of what you need to sell to have any kind of scale."
"With Indonesia you could argue that it is a substantial market with 300 million people but the problem is that the Indonesian government has a policy of insisting on local assembly," said Mr Littlewood.
"So Ford either had to get in in a big way and actually start manufacturing or to get out altogether - which is what they've done."
Neither market is large for the carmaker. Last year, Ford sold just 6,100 cars and trucks in Indonesia and 5,000 in Japan, partly blaming the government for protective policies that favour domestic brands over imported cars.
Ford employs 292 workers in Japan and has 44 dealerships there, and it employs 35 people in Indonesia.
Zakariya Ashiq, 20, of Coventry, was "tortured" by unidentified "shadowy figures", the Old Bailey heard.
The court earlier heard he left the UK in November, but was forced to return after failing to cross the border from Jordan into Syria.
Mr Ashiq denies preparing acts of terrorism.
He was arrested at Heathrow Airport on 20 November.
Giving evidence, Mr Ashiq said he had been "pestered and "harassed" by members of MI5, meeting officers 12 times.
He said he told intelligence officers he would inform them if he heard about a terror attack planned in Britain, but would not spy on other Muslims.
Mr Ashiq told the court he was also abducted five times between July and November by "shadowy figures" in balaclavas with London and American accents. He said they had blindfolded and handcuffed him.
On the first occasion he said he "thought it was a joke", until they demanded the names of leaders in Syria.
"They showed my mum's prescription, my fingerprints. They said 'We know everything about you, there's nothing you can hide from us'," Mr Ashiq told the court.
On other occasions he said he had been tortured.
"They would put a towel on your face, pour water on you and you get a drowning sensation," he said.
"I was choking up the water. I thought I was going to die. Then afterwards, they do the same thing again but I took a gulp of air before they did it and it was the same questions again and again.
"I just said, 'Just kill me now. I prefer death than torture'. This country hates Muslims, the way they tortured me."
Asked by his lawyer Paul Hynes QC why he never mentioned these abductions to the police, he said he "didn't trust them" and feared seeming "like a mad man".
The trial continues.
The crash happened at the junction of Stetchford Road and Beaufort Avenue, Hodge Hill, on Friday night.
"A 14-year-old male passenger was treated by emergency services at the scene, but unfortunately suffered fatal injuries," police said.
The man, 26, was questioned on causing death by dangerous driving and bailed until December as inquiries continue.

Conor McCloskey's 67th-minute headed goal put Carrick ahead for the second time but Wilson levelled in the 88th minute with a shot from 25 yards.
Miguel Chines gave Carrick the lead on 31 minutes as his 35-yard free-kick deceived Dungannon keeper Andy Coleman.
Terry Fitzpatrick hit Dungannon's first equaliser with a superb shot on 54.
Both teams are now four points ahead of bottom club Warrenpoint Town following Thursday's game, which was played at Seaview because of Carrick's ongoing pitch problems at their own premises.
Carrick started the brighter with Chines missing a great chance in the ninth minute as Swifts keeper Coleman got down to block the point-blank opportunity after a through ball from McCloskey.
After a lull in proceedings, Carrick took the lead on 31 minutes as Chines' free-kick was allowed to float all the way to the net, with Coleman apparently expecting a flick-on.
Coleman redeemed himself somewhat before the interval as he saved a Kyle Cherry effort.
Dungannon got on terms in the 54th minute as Fitzpatrick struck a great 20-yard shot past James Taylor after some sloppy Carrick defending, with the low drive going in off the keeper's right-hand post.
Carrick restored their advantage 13 minutes later as McCloskey nodded an Aaron Traynor cross past Coleman.
After Traynor missed a chance to extend Carrick's lead, Dungannon had a strong penalty shout turned down in the 78th minute as Andrew Doyle appeared to upend Andrew Mitchell.

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Taiping Island, also known as Itu Aba, is part of the Spratly Island chain, embroiled in increasingly tense South China Sea territorial disputes.
Although it is controlled by Taiwan, the island is also claimed by mainland China, Vietnam and the Philippines.
Four new structures have appeared since Google Earth's last satellite images.
The images showed four three-pronged structures in a semi-circle next to an upgraded airstrip and near a sizeable new port.
Rival countries have wrangled over territory in the South China Sea for centuries, but tension has steadily increased in recent years.
Its islets and waters are claimed in part or in whole by Taiwan, China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei.
China has backed its expansive claims with island-building and naval patrols, while the US, which has also sailed through the disputed waters, says it opposes restrictions on freedom of navigation and unlawful sovereignty claims by all sides.
The frictions have sparked concern that the area is becoming a flashpoint with possible global consequences.
Why is the South China Sea contentious?
Taiwan Defence Ministry spokesman Chen Chung-chi said on Wednesday that "under the pre-condition of protecting military secrets and security, we have requested Google blur images of important military facilities".
The country's Coast Guard Administration also confirmed to the BBC that it was in talks with Google, which they said may not have been aware it was a military zone.
The Coast Guard said it believed other countries would have similar issues with images of such restricted zones.
Google has said that it is reviewing the request.
"We take security concerns very seriously, and are always willing to discuss them with public agencies and officials," Google spokesman Taj Meadows told the BBC.
It has not blurred imagery in response to similar requests in the past. Much of this imagery comes from third party providers, which means that it is likely to be available through a number of other commercial routes.
The increasing militarisation of the South China Sea, where China is rapidly building islands to buttress its territorial claims has stoked tension in the region.
An international tribunal recently ruled against China's claims, backing a case brought by the Philippines.
The Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled Taiping was classified as a "rock" rather than an "island" and therefore not entitled to a 200 nautical mile exclusion zone. The verdict was rejected by both Beijing and Taipei.
The carrier, controlled by Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group, said the aim was to create a simpler, more efficient structure with few management layers.

In March, Virgin Atlantic said it made a £14.4m pre-tax profit for 2014, after three years of losses.
The airline, based at Crawley, West Sussex, has not yet disclosed the locations of the job losses.
Craig Kreeger, the airline's chief executive, said: "To truly position Virgin Atlantic for long-term and sustained success, we need to be a more efficient and agile organisation that has the ability to invest even more in the areas that make Virgin Atlantic's customer experience unique.
"As a people-oriented business, these are extremely tough decisions to take, but we know they are necessary," he said.
None of the cuts will hit frontline staff dealing with customers, Virgin said. The airline employs about 9,000 people.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino described the banner as "very disrespectful and unacceptable" after the 0-0 draw on 18 September at the Partizan Stadium.
Tottenham officials made Uefa aware of the banner before the break and delegates took photographic evidence after the match.

In 2007, Partizan were thrown out of the Uefa Cup and fined for rioting during a first qualifying round first-leg clash at Zrinjski Mostar.

Akon Guode, 37, killed one-year-old Bol and four-year-old twins Hanger and Madit in Melbourne in 2015.
Another child, six-year-old Alual, was also in the car but survived.
Guode had pleaded guilty to murder, infanticide and attempted murder, but a judge said her motive for the crimes remained unclear.
"Your betrayal of their trust was catastrophic," Justice Lex Lasry told Guode in the Supreme Court of Victoria on Tuesday.
"People want to understand why you did what you did, because particularly for parents of young children such action is foreign and unthinkable.
"In my opinion, your actions were the product of extreme desperation, rather than any form of vengeance."
Onlookers and emergency crews tried desperately to rescue the children in the moments after the car entered the lake in the suburb of Wyndham Vale. Guode and Alual were rescued.
In earlier hearings, the court heard harrowing accounts of what witnesses confronted on the day.
"They (the children) are floating, they are floating in the water," one onlooker said in an emergency call played to the court.
"(They) can't swim."
Joseph Manyang, the father of the three children, testified that Guode was a "loving mother" who would not have harmed the children intentionally and had spoken of feeling dizzy before the crash.
However, a key witness told police that Guode spoke about killing her children on the day of the tragedy.
Justice Lasry acknowledged that Guode, who came to Australia as a refugee, had experienced trauma in South Sudan where she witnessed her husband's murder.
She had endured an "extraordinarily difficult life", he said.
The judge said Guode had been suffering post-traumatic stress, signs of depression and feelings of isolation from the Sudanese community.
He sentenced her to 26 years and six months in jail, with a non-parole period of 20 years.

Summarize the passage below. | Bristol Magistrates' Court heard David Johnson, 57, bit his secretary Krysha James so hard he left a bruise.
The court heard he bit her after she put her arm across him as she reached for paper, at the private Spire Hospital in Bristol last September.
The judge found Johnson, of Sea Walls Road, guilty of assault by beating.
He was ordered to pay £1,500 in compensation and £6,00 in costs.
The hospital said it had withdrawn his rights to work there, while the court heard his departure had effectively cost the victim her own job working for him.
The knee surgeon, who has treated Premier League footballers and Wimbledon champions, had denied the charge, saying he had simply "nudged, pecked or kissed" Ms James while they worked together in a cabin in the hospital car park.
District judge Lynne Matthews said: "You have been convicted of a criminal assault in a moment of madness.
"Your assault of her was not borne of malice but arrogance that you could treat your secretary in this way."
Ms James told the court she felt his teeth sinking in and said the injury remained painful for 10 days afterwards.
She said: "I don't know why he did it. There was no horseplay previous to that.
"We hadn't had an argument so there was no aggression. It just came out of the blue."
The knee surgeon was suspended from the private hospital following the allegation.
A hospital spokeswoman said the surgeon's "practising privileges" had since been withdrawn.
The court heard Johnson, a father-of-two, had lost more than £100,000 in earnings since the incident, while his suspension meant his victim had also lost her job - costing Ms James her "main wage" of £1,300 a month.
The Chesterfield striker denies raping the 19-year-old at a Premier Inn in Rhuddlan, Denbighshire, in May 2011.
Mr Evans, 27, was found guilty of rape at Caernarfon Crown Court in 2012, but his conviction was quashed in April.
The prosecution told his retrial at Cardiff Crown Court the woman had been intoxicated and could not have consented to sex, as Mr Evans claims.
Simon Medland QC, prosecuting, said the woman "did not even know Ched Evans was having sex with her" in the hotel on 30 May 2011.
The woman was "very drunk" and believes her drink may have been spiked, Mr Medland said, although not by Mr Evans.
"She was that intoxicated - for whatever reason - that she didn't really know what on earth was happening," he added.
"The facts of this case show that she was raped by this young footballer in that room, not that she had consensual sex with him."
The alleged victim met Mr Evans's friend and fellow footballer Clayton McDonald at Rhyl's Zu bar in the early hours of 30 May.
She got a taxi to the Premier Inn with Mr McDonald, where Mr Evans had booked a room.
Mr McDonald, who previously played at Manchester City and Port Vale, telephoned Mr Evans and said: "I've got a girl", Mr Medland told the jury.
About 15 minutes later, Mr Evans arrived at the hotel and got a key to the room. He is then alleged to have raped the woman before "surreptitiously" leaving via the fire exit.
Mr McDonald, who now plays at Redditch United, was acquitted of rape at the original trial in 2012.
During Tuesday's hearing, the jury - consisting of five men and seven women - was told by the judge, Mrs Justice Nicola Davies, to disregard any previous publicity of the case.
"There has been publicity in respect of these legal proceedings. If you have heard or read about it, that is the proceedings, in the newspaper, television, radio or social media, you must ignore it," she said.

The MSF aid agency said that over 200 people had been injured and appealed for help with medical evacuations.
President Muhammadu Buhari, whose army is fighting Boko Haram militants, expressed dismay and urged calm.
The attack took place near the border with Cameroon, where the military is engaged in what it calls its final push against Boko Haram.
It is thought to be the first time Nigeria's military has admitted to making such a mistake.
Red Cross spokesman Aleksandar Matijevic said that along with the staff killed, more than a dozen of the group's volunteers, who arrived on Tuesday to deliver food to the thousands displaced people, were wounded.
"Our thoughts are now with the families of our colleagues who have lost their loved ones," Mr Matijevic said, adding that the Red Cross would continue bringing humanitarian aid to those affected by the conflict.
MSF told the BBC that its organisation also had medical teams working in the Rann camp when the bombs struck.
"More than 50 people have been killed," said Hugues Robert, head of MSF's emergency response.
"Our team was there and counted the bodies, and more than 200 people have been wounded following these two different blasts from aerial bombardment," he said.
MSF said it had teams in Cameroon and Chad ready to treat wounded patients.
Many of the casualties, it said, were believed to be displaced people who had fled from areas where Boko Haram had carried out attacks.
Gen Rabe Abubakar, a spokesman for the Nigerian military, said that some "remnants" of Boko Haram had been detected outside Rann and the military had acted to eliminate them.
After the military realised its mistake, they were "all in pain", he said.
"However, in a military operation such as this, from time to time these things do occur," he added.
"Even though it was highly regretful, it was never intended."
Gen Lucky Irabor, who commands counter-insurgency operations in the north-east, said there would be an investigation.
A spokesman for the Nigerian president said the administration would offer help to the government of Borno state "in attending to this regrettable operational mistake".
Boko Haram has caused havoc in Africa's most populous country through a wave of bombings, assassinations and abductions.
It is fighting to overthrow the government and create an Islamic state.
The group has stepped up attacks in the past few weeks as the end of the rainy season enabled its fighters to move more easily in the bush.
Last month, the UN launched a $1bn (£800m) appeal for those facing hunger and starvation in the region.
It said nearly 5.1 million people in three north-eastern states were expected to face serious food shortages as for a third year in a row farmers had been unable to plant, fearing unexploded improvised devices left behind by militants.
Urgent aid was needed for some 100,000 people, mostly children, at risk of dying of starvation.

But at a Westminster press briefing on Wednesday, the prime minister's official spokeswoman said : "The point the prime minister was referring to was that, at events, this individual has spoken up in support of a range of things including the formation of Islamic State."
Conservative mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith previously described Mr Gani as "one of the most repulsive men in Britain".
Mr Gani, a community leader and imam from Tooting in south London, said on hearing this characterisation: "I was shocked - I couldn't believe it.
"I felt very disheartened and betrayed.
"I felt that this is hypocrisy, because I attended a Conservative Muslim Forum event invited by the Conservative candidate for Tooting... to encourage more Muslims to become Conservative councillors."

Partick Thistle won the other Group H fixture, earning a 2-1 victory away to Airdrieonians. Kris Doolan and Blair Spittal put the visitors in front, with Dean Cairns pulling back a consolation goal for the League One side.
The Premiership side are guaranteed to finish runners-up, though, because they are four points clear of Airdrie ahead of the last round of games this weekend.
In Group G, Albion Rovers and Hamilton remain level on six points at the top following a 4-4 draw at Cliftonhill.
Alan Trouten was the leading figure for the home side, scoring a hat-trick that included the game's opening goal and two equalisers.
Premiership side Hamilton thought they had done enough to win the game thanks to goals from Massimo Donati, a Shaun Want double and a Rakish Bingham penalty, but Rovers equalised in time added on through Ross Davidson.
And the home side added the bonus point to their night's work after winning the penalty shoot out 4-2.
In the group's other match, East Kilbride defeated Stenhousemuir 2-1, to leave the latter side bottom. Sean Winter scored the two goals, either side of a Jamie Longworth effort, to secure the win.
The 43-year-old replaces Alan Kernaghan, who departs the Bees along with first-team coach Peter Farrell.
Former Everton and Rangers defender Weir was sacked by the Blades in October after just 13 games in charge.
"There will be an undoubted benefit for the staff and players to have someone of David's quality here with us," Brentford manager Mark Warburton said.
Weir, who also had spells at Falkirk and Hearts and won 69 caps for Scotland during his playing days, was previously on the coaching staff at Everton before his short spell at Bramall Lane.
"He had an outstanding playing career, working under some great coaches, and has a wealth of coaching experience," Warburton added.
"In conversations with David, he recognises the progress that has been made at Brentford and is excited to join us."
Warburton, who was appointed Brentford manager last week after Uwe Rosler left Griffin Park to take charge at Wigan, says it is essential he puts his "own fingerprint" on the squad and coaching staff.
Farrell arrived in west London in the summer of 2011 when Rosler was appointed while Alan Kernaghan joined the League One club February 2012.
"I need to introduce people I have a close working relationship with to help take the club to the next level," Warburton told the club website.
"Peter and Alan have worked tirelessly over the past two seasons and have made an essential contribution to taking the club forward.
"I would like to thank Peter and Alan for their contribution and wish them all the best for their future careers." | Livingston reached the Scottish League Cup knockout stages after a 4-2 win over Stranraer saw them top Group H.

A man in his 40s has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.

The court said the ruling was legal but many religious groups were outraged.
The Collective Against Islamophobia in France (CCIF) said it would appeal against the decision in France's highest administrative court.
Authorities in Cannes and nearby villages voted to ban full-body swimsuits or burkinis from the end of July.
The court said the ban was legal under a law which prohibits people neglecting common rules on "relations between public authorities and private individuals" on the basis of religion.
The judge noted the ban came "in the context of the state of emergency and recent Islamist attacks, notably in Nice a month ago".
But CCIF lawyer Sefen Guez Guez, said he would lodge an appeal with the Council of State, the highest administrative body in France.
"This decision opens the door to a ban on all religious symbols in the public space," he added.
France is on high alert following a series of incidents including July's truck attack in nearby Nice.
Anyone caught breaking the new rule could face a fine of €38 (£33). They will first be asked to change into another swimming costume or leave the beach.
Nobody has been apprehended for wearing a burkini in Cannes since the edict came into force at the end of July.
This is not the first time that women's clothing has been restricted in France. In 2011 it became the first country in Europe to ban the full-face Islamic veil, known as the burka, as well as the partial face covering, the niqab.

Luton Crown Court heard the gang took him captive as revenge for the apparent theft of cannabis worth £60,000.
The gang admitted a range of offences and received sentences up to 20 years.
The court heard the kidnap took place in Luton on 20 June last year.

They bundled the man into the van in Downs Road before driving to an address in Ashburnham Road.
During his imprisonment, the gang put a live shotgun in his mouth, stubbed out cigarettes on his arm and beat him with a knife.
Ransom calls were made to the victim's relatives, and one defendant also threatened to rape him.
The following morning, the victim was abandoned and left tied to the metal gate of a farm near Kensworth. He freed himself and made his way home.
The court heard the gang believed two brothers had stolen cannabis from them, and targeted the victim - the boyfriend of the two brothers' sister.
A disciplinary hearing found Det Sgt Jan Beasant guilty of misconduct following a review of the investigation into the murder of Blackpool teenager Charlene Downes.
Iyad Albattikhi was cleared in 2008 of killing her after "grave doubts" were raised around the evidence.
Lancashire Police said Ms Beasant had shown conduct that "let everyone down".
Two other officers who retired prior to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation could not be considered for disciplinary sanctions.
Charlene Downes, 14, disappeared in 2003 and has not been seen since. Mr Albattikhi was arrested for her alleged murder in 2007, following covert surveillance.
A jury at Preston Crown Court was discharged in 2007 after failing to reach a verdict and a subsequent retrial collapsed after the Crown Prosecution Service conceded it had "grave doubts" about the reliability of the covert surveillance.
Ms Beasant had the job of transcribing secretly recorded conversations between Mr Ilbattikhi and another man, spending 2,500 hours over two years listening to 52 audio tapes.
The quality of the covert recordings was criticised during the trial by defence barristers as "poor" with confidence "low" in the accuracy of the transcriptions.
A review by the IPCC concluded the investigating team were guilty of a strategic and tactical failure in the management of the material.
Naseem Malik, IPCC Commissioner for the North West, said it was "abundantly clear" that the covert surveillance was "handled poorly and unprofessionally".
The watchdog recommended Ms Beasant face a disciplinary hearing, one officer should receive a written warning and five others should receive words of advice.
At a hearing earlier this week, Lancashire Police found her guilty of two counts of misconduct and forced her to resign.
Supt Simon Giles said the force "expects the highest professional standards from all our staff and the panel has found this individual's conduct has fallen well short of these standards".
"This sort of behaviour and conduct lets everybody down - not just the police service but those the police serve," he said.

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Eleanor Payne and Samantha Lake, 19, and Daniel Greenwood, 22 died when their tour bus skidded and overturned near Nelspruit, Mpumalanga.
They were among a group of students and teachers from Brooksby Melton College in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.
After the hearing their families said the condition of the bus as an "accident waiting to happen".
Previously, tour guide Trevor Dearlove denied failing to tell the passengers to wear seat belts and the bus driver was cleared of culpable murder.
The three-day inquest at Loughborough Coroner's Court heard the group, who were studying for a degree in animal management and welfare, were on their way from Swaziland to visit a chimpanzee sanctuary.
Students who survived the crash, told the hearing their guide did not tell them to wear seat belts and encouraged them to take in their surroundings.
The court heard that as the bus came down a steep hill at speed, it had no way of slowing down because the vehicle brakes had burnt out.
The coroner said while the families were critical of the bus, its condition did not contribute to the crash.
Coroner Robert Chapman, recorded all three died as a result of the road traffic accident.
A statement from the families read by Rob Greenwood, criticised the vehicle.
"The fact is, that if this vehicle had not been issued with a road worthy certificate, it would not have been allowed on the road and the accident could not have happened," he said.
"This vehicle was a tragedy waiting to happen."

Kearney sustained a hip injury when scoring a try in Ireland's win over Romania but scans have indicated that the ailment is not serious.
Keith Earls is also in line to play against Italy despite suffering a blow to his head in Sunday's 44-10 win.
Italian captain Sergio Parisse is set to play at the Olympic Stadium after recovering from a calf problem.
The inspirational number eight had surgery to drain a haematoma in his calf three weeks ago and missed Italy's opening Pool D defeat by France and the narrow victory over Canada.
However, the Stade Francais star joined up with the Azzurri squad on Tuesday morning to hand a major boost to coach Jacques Brunel.
British and Irish Lions player Kearney underwent a scan on Monday and the Ireland management are confident that his "minor gluteal strain" will not rule him out of the Italy game.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | The roof of William Sitch's house in Catherine Street, Alfreton, was ripped off when the whirlwind wreaked havoc on 8 October 2014.
With nowhere to live, he moved in with a childhood friend and in February they were engaged to be married.
His partner's son said the twister "had been a blessing" for the couple.
Oli Constable, 20, said Mr Sitch, 51, and his mother, Sandra, aged 51, had already been reunited before the high winds but were living separately.
He said following the tornado, which the Met Office said was caused by "volatile and unstable air", the pair moved in together.
Mr Constable said after the initial shock, Mr Sitch was pragmatic about the damage to his house.
He said: "Nothing really fazes him, he was a bit like 'let's move on'.
"It's been the best thing that ever happened to him... [He and my mother] are now together and they're happy."
Mr Sitch told BBC Radio Derby: "We ended up spending so much time together we [now] don't want to be parted.
"[On the day of the tornado] I slowly walked towards [the scene] and realised it was my house that was roofless. [I had feelings of] disbelief and panic, did I renew my insurance?"

What's more, their maximum crushing force is stronger than the bite force of all land animals, except the alligator.
Coconut crabs are remarkably strong, lifting up to 28 kilograms (62lb) - the weight of a small child.
They use their claws to fight and defend themselves, as well as to crack open coconut shells.
At up to one-metre (3 ft) across, coconut crabs are also the largest of all land-based arthropods - the group that includes insects, spiders and crustaceans.
They live on small islands in the tropical Indian and Pacific oceans.
Researchers in Japan measured the squeezing force of 29 wild coconut crabs living on Okinawa Island using a sensor.
They calculated that a large crab could be expected to exert a squeezing force of more than 3000 newtons, which exceeds other crustaceans, such as lobsters.
"The mighty claws of these crabs are useful weapons to deter predators and competitors," say scientists from the Okinawa Churashima Foundation.
"In summary, coconut crabs have the ability to exert the greatest force among almost all terrestrial animals."
Coconut crabs are well adapted to life on land.
Unlike most crabs, they only return to the sea to lay their eggs.
They can also climb trees and cut coconuts down.
Despite their size and strength, little is known about coconut crabs and whether or not they are a threatened species.
Charles Darwin described the coconut crab as of "monstrous size" when he saw them on the Cocos (Keeling Islands) in the Indian Ocean during the voyage of the Beagle.
He wrote: "To show the wonderful strength of the front pair of pincers, I may mention that Captain Moresby confined one in a strong tin box, which had held biscuits, the lid being secured with wire; but the crab turned down the edges and escaped.
"In turning down the edges it actually punched many small holes quite through the tin!"

Give a concise summary of the following information. | All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) General Secretary Tijani Tumsa said the plan was a "mischievous vote-catching exercise" for the 2015 elections.
Last week, the agriculture minister said the phones would help farmers "drive an agriculture revolution".
Akinwumi Adesina said their purchase would be financed through a tax.
He denied reports that the government had already set aside $400m (£249m) to buy the phones.
Mr Tumsa told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme the scheme was a ploy by the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) to "connect" with voters in rural areas in the build-up to elections.
He said he doubted the plan would boost the farming sector.
"You are just creating business for the telecom companies. You are not impacting on agricultural production in Nigeria, unless the purpose is to have more phone coverage," Mr Tumsa added.
Defending the scheme, Mr Adesina said Nigeria had the highest number of mobile phones in Africa - an estimated 110 million - but many Nigerians in rural areas did not have them.
"Our goal is to empower every farmer. No farmer will be left behind," Mr Adesina said in a statement.
"We will reach them in their local languages and use mobile phones to trigger an information revolution which will drive an agricultural revolution."
He said five million of the 10 million phones would be given to women.
A government agency, the Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF), would help finance the scheme through a tax, he said.
"We intend to work with existing mobile operators in Nigeria through a public-private partnership," Mr Adesina said.
"Agriculture today is more knowledge-intensive and we will modernize the sector, and get younger entrepreneurs into the sector, and we will arm them with modern information systems." | A Nigerian opposition party has condemned a government scheme to give 10 million mobile phones for free to farmers. |
Summarize the provided section. | Wing James conceded a try from an intercepted pass against Scarlets on Friday, but his break then set up Alex Cuthbert for the winning score.
The 28-year-old won the last of his 10 Wales caps in 2010.
"He's playing really well and I'd like to think he has given some selection headaches [to Wales]," Wilson said.
"He's been outstanding for a number of games for us this season and credit to him, he threw an intercept pass that he'd be disappointed with, but the game he had after that was superb."
Having been in the international wilderness for five seasons, James was a surprise inclusion in Wales' World Cup training squad.
But a foot injury meant he was unable to train over the summer and he was eventually released to his region in early August for further treatment.
He was fit enough to start the first game of the Pro12 season for the Blues, scoring a try against Zebre, but limped off after 38 minutes and was out for the next eight weeks.
James has been ever present since his comeback in late October, adding another four tries and catching the eye on several occasions.
With just over a month to go until the start of the Six Nations, James' latest fine display came in front of Wales assistant coach Rob Howley at the Arms Park.
He made the crucial break down the left flank before Cuthbert burrowed his way over the tryline to give the Blues a shock 29-27 win over Pro12 leaders Scarlets.
"Tom James played particularly well," said Howley. "When he had the ball he created opportunities and looks quite sharp."
Howley said he had also been impressed by the performance of Rhys Patchell, who converted Cuthbert's try to secure victory.
"He's a young talent," he said of the twice-capped 22-year-old fly-half or full-back.
"He controlled the game in the second half and landed a superb conversion from the touchline. He's got a great kicking game and the ability to put others in space." | Tom James has enhanced his hopes of a Wales recall with "outstanding" form in recent weeks, according to Cardiff Blues coach Danny Wilson. |

Hearts head coach Ian Cathro said: "We're disappointed and we should be doing better in these situations."
Jason Brown headed the League Two outfit into an early lead in their Group B encounter, with Kyle Lafferty levelling with his fourth goal in three games.
With the League Cup match appearing destined for a penalty shoot-out and a fight for a bonus point, McAllister's penalty secured a famous win.
"Ironically, we scored or got our penalty when we had really tired in the last 10 minutes and (were) hanging on," said McInally.
"I'm so happy for the players because they concentrated for the whole game and passed it well when they needed to.
"[Playing] twice in four days is hard for part-timers. A lot of these guys have just come up from Glasgow today. Willie Gibson and Greg Fleming, the goalkeeper, [have come] from Dumfries.
"Hearts were up here last night resting. So, it makes it even better and the big thing is we have a chance of going through now if we can win on Saturday [against Elgin City].
Cathro, while disappointed with the result, believes his players are still gelling.
"We expected a difficult game," he said. "And it's always the case, particularly at the start of these games when you play against teams from the lower leagues.
"We're disappointed and we should be doing better in these situations but we're at a stage where new players are here and we're progressing some things and things are a work in progress.
"We started to get ourselves in front in the game, we had some energy and played with a little more urgency as things progressed. But we didn't take our chances and maybe some of our decisions in the final third weren't quite right.
"We suffered because of that but, as I said, there are a lot of new relationships inside the team and there's a lot of positive things building across all three [League Cup] games and we'll continue to work to get ourselves ready and improving.
"We're disappointed with the result and have expectations which are higher than that - we move forward very quickly and focus on Saturday [against Dunfermline at Tynecastle]." | Peterhead boss Jim McInally hailed his League Two side after they stunned Hearts in the League Cup. |
What is the summary of the document provided? | The sign sold for £1,200 at Mander auctioneers in Glemsford, Suffolk in the heart of the area where the BBC programme was set.
The series, which starred Ian McShane as the titular antiques dealer, ran from 1986 to 1994.
Auctioneer James Mander said the sign, which had been listed at £200-300, "wasn't an easy thing to price".
He said the sign, which was signed by the majority of the cast, "but unfortunately not by Ian McShane", had been sold by a couple from Framlingham, Suffolk.
It was bought by a private bidder from the Ipswich area.
Mr Mander said he was "delighted with the amount it fetched".
"It's the first Lovejoy item we've sold, but once something like this is auctioned successfully, people realise they have value and often they come on to the market."
He added that "Lovejoy-related items are always going to be popular around here".

"I would refute that, definitely refute that. I had unionists that were coming up to me and saying quite clearly, we are tactically voting SDLP today to keep Sinn Fein out."
Mr Devenney said that he "categorically" never told people to vote SDLP.
He said he did not appeal his suspension from the DUP because the 'deal had already been done'.
When asked if he was angry about that decision the councillor said "yes".
A DUP spokesman added:"There is only one Unionist seat in Foyle. The unionist people of Foyle deserve a good MLA.
"Even Maurice Devenney recognises that Gary Middleton is the best man for the job."

Give a brief summary of the content. | Web-based Luvo will be able to answer simple queries such as how to order a replacement card.
Designed using IBM Watson technology, the virtual agent is able to understand and learn from human interactions.
In future, Luvo may be able to understand if a customer was feeling frustrated or unhappy and change its tone and actions accordingly, IBM said.
The service will initially be rolled out to RBS and NatWest customers, starting in December with about 10% of RBS customers in Scotland.
Previously, Luvo had been piloted among 1,200 RBS and NatWest staff.
For the bank, the chatbot is complementary to existing customer service agents.
"Luvo frees advisers from spending time on simple, easily-addressed queries so they can help customers with more complex issues," said Jane Howard, head of personal banking.
It will start off with about 10 questions it is equipped to answer but as the cognitive system learns over time, IBM is confident it can be expanded to "more complex areas".
The bank will make it clear to customers that they are talking to a bot, and they will have the option to move the conversation to a human agent at any point.
"We will monitor customer feedback and, if we find that customers are getting frustrated, we will quickly look to address that," Ms Howard told the BBC.
IBM is not the only company using artificial intelligence in banking. This week, rival IPsoft, which already employs its virtual agent Amelia in a range of industries, announced a similar deal.
Amelia will provide customer service in one of Sweden's largest banks, SEB.
Chetan Dube, IPsoft's chief executive, said that virtual staff represented a "fundamental shift in the way that banks manage their operations".
"Virtual agents never deviate from regulations and provide a full audit trail of every interaction," he said. | Customers at Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest may soon be sorting out issues with help from a virtual chatbot. |

Yorkshire's Pidcock beat compatriot Dan Tulett by 38 seconds, with Ben Turner completing the podium places.
They had to overcome difficult conditions as snow, ice and mud added to an already tricky course.
Evie Richards, another Briton and the defending champion, took bronze in the women's under-23 race.
Richards said she was delighted to get another medal.
"I know it's not a gold medal but it means a lot," she said. "Any medal - and being on that podium - is amazing."
Pidcock, meanwhile, told BBC Sport: "It's the best day of my life.

The North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust is one of nine in England found to have higher than predicted mortality rates last year.
The figures include deaths in hospital, or within 30 days of discharge.
North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Trust medical director, Dr David Emerton, said it was "reviewing the care of all patients who die".
Dr Emerton said the figures - higher than expected for the second year running - were skewed by the number of patients treated without being admitted to hospital.
Some patients, such as those in care homes nearing the end of their lives, where sent to hospital "when not much really can be done", he said.
The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC), who compiled the data, says the categorisation does not mean a hospital is failing or unsafe and does not take levels of social deprivation into account.
Its figures should "instead should be viewed as a 'smoke alarm' which requires further investigation by the trust", a spokeswoman said.
The SHMI is available from April 2010 and the latest data covers July 2013 to June 2014.
The expected risk of the patient dying in hospital, or within 30 days of discharge, is estimated based on the patient's condition, age, sex and how they were admitted to hospital.
Dr Mike Smith, from the Patients Association, said the figures should be viewed in the context of the area's poverty and unemployment rate.
"If people have, locally, a high mortality and morbidity rate, that means to say people are dying more than the rest of the nation and/or are sicker than the rest of the nation, then you mustn't necessarily think it's the hospital's fault," he said. | Tom Pidcock led home a British one-two-three in the men's junior race on the opening day of the Cyclo-Cross World Championships in Luxembourg.

Hickey was arrested by Rio police at the 2016 Games during an investigation into alleged illegal ticket sales.
An Irish Government-commissioned report into the affair has been published.
Hickey claimed the report contained "inaccuracies" but refused to appear before the committee on Thursday.
Ireland's former Olympic boss was charged by the Brazilian authorities on accusations of ticket touting, running a cartel and illicit marketing and though he returned to Ireland last December, he is still awaiting a trial date in Brazil.
Mr Ross said it was "inconsistent" that Ireland's former Olympic boss had given media statements in recent days but failed to discuss his involvement in alleged illegal ticket sales with the Irish Parliament's Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport.
Justice Moran's report found that deals between the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) and THG Sports, owned by Marcus Evans, and Pro10, a second company linked to the businessman, were more concerned with their commercial interests than the athletes, their friends, relatives and supporters.
The report also stated that after THG's bid to become the OCI's official ticket seller at the Games was rejected by Rio's organising committee, the appointment of Pro10 only disguised THG's continuing role.
The inquiry into Olympic tickets sales was sparked after Mr Hickey, the former OCI President, was arrested in his Rio hotel last August.
Hickey, THG and Pro10 have all denied wrongdoing and the former OCI president has vowed to clear his name.
"I respect the right of anybody not to self-incriminate, but I find it somewhat inconsistent to be able to go and answer questions to the media and not be able to come here," said Mr Ross, referring to recent media comments from Hickey.
"He did say there were inaccuracies in the report, which I don't accept. I think it would be useful if he would come here and explain his point of view and I don't think it would in any way prejudice his trial," the minister added.
Mr Hickey, who is hoping to return to his International Olympic Committee roles, also declined to co-operate with Judge Moran's investigation.
Mr Ross said it was regrettable that some parties did not cooperate with the inquiry but insisted it did not undermine the probe.
The Sports Minister added that even if the inquiry had the powers of compulsion it would have "encountered great difficulty exercising these powers over parties outside the state such as THG, the Rio Organising Committee and the International Olympic Committee."
"In addition, the right against self-incrimination would remain," added Mr Ross.
The minister said that at the time of the ticketing scandal the "flagship of Irish Sport was very much in the hands of one man (Mr Hickey)" and vowed that it would never happen again.
"Personal fiefdom was run here. That is a principle we should oppose in the future. It certainly won't happen in Tokyo," he added.
After a number of weeks in prison in Brazil, Hickey stayed in Brazil after being released on bail before being allowed to return home to Ireland last December, where he awaiting a trial date in Rio.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | Police said the 52-year-old woman and a man, 51, were struck by a black Renault minibus on the A64 at Crambeck, near Malton, close to midnight on Saturday.
The pair, who were pronounced dead at the scene, had just got off a double-decker Coastliner bus.
The minibus was heading towards York at the time and police have made an appeal for witnesses.
The accident happened near Kinfauns Castle at 15:10 on Tuesday.
Police said a white Mercedes Sprinter Van and a heavy tractor articulated lorry were involved in the crash.
The 36-year-old male driver of the van was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them.
Lul Mohamed Kheire and 10 friends spent a week walking between Baidoa, in the east, and the capital Mogadishu in August.
The route brought them into areas where Islamist militants al-Shabab are known to live.
Despite the dangers, their belief in peace inspired others to join them.
"All the people think Somalia is not safe, there's no security - we wanted to show all the world there is peace in Somalia," Lul told the BBC's Newsday programme.
Lul and her 10 friends set out from Baidoa in August, walking for four to five hours each day under the blazing sun, planting trees where they stopped and relying on the kindness of villagers to give them a bed for the night.
The walk was even harder for Lul - she carried her youngest child for most of the journey, while keeping an eye on her older two. But, she said, the difficulty was worth it.
"It's heavy work but we want to show all the world there is peace - and if you want to show the world something, you have to do hard work," Lul said.
Somalia has been in an almost constant state of violent turmoil since 1991, dividing the country.
So the fact that members of the group, who ranged in age between about 23 and 35, each came from a different region was important for the activists.
"We were united," said Lul. "We wanted to do this walk to help unite the youth of Somalia in the same way."
More recently, the danger has come from Islamist militants al-Shabab, who have waged war against Somalia's government.
Huge swathes of land are considered no-go areas - including those surrounding both Baidoa and Mogadishu.
As a result, the residents of those cities are particularly vulnerable to deadly attacks.
Thirty people were killed in one day last February in two separate al-Shabab attacks on Baidoa. Among the dead were football fans, who had been watching a match between Arsenal and Manchester United when the a car bomb exploded.
In August, militants targeted a Mogadishu hotel, while a general and six of his bodyguards were killed in September near the defence ministry headquarters.
Yet the marchers, who started planning the trip at the start of August, were not scared.
"When we were doing this walk, we did not see any al-Shabab," Lul said. "Everyone was happy - we did not feel any fear."
She added: "We were not scared any more, because we have peace."
Their confidence was infectious - the first day, a few hundred people started to walk alongside the group.
By the time they reached Mogadishu a week later, there were thousands marching behind them.
"They ask us what we are doing, when we tell them it is a peace walk they like it and everyone join us," Lul explained.
"All of the people join us - men, women, children, all levels of society.
"It was like 2,500 people.
"When you are walking and having a lot of people around you, I don't know how to describe it, it is a great thing."
However, the group is not done yet - early next month, they will set off once more, this time to the Hiran area, hoping to inspire yet more people. | Two people died when they were hit by a minibus as they crossed a road after getting off a bus in North Yorkshire.

"I thought we could have scored more. When we went into their half we were clinical and we punished them for some errors that they made.
"The good thing for us has been that we have managed to creep the level of performance up and up every game and we are just getting better and better."

The businessman took over from Michael Johnston at last year's annual meeting of the Scottish Premiership club.
"I am now 69 and have suffered some health issues in recent months," Mann pointed out in a club statement.
As he lives in Milton Keynes, he said remaining chairman of Kilmarnock had become "unsustainable".
He added it had become difficult to combine the role with his business and other interests.
"There is no reason other than that for my decision to stand down and I hope that the club's shareholders and supporters will give their full support to the board of directors as it embarks upon the process of appointing a new chairman while steering the club away from relegation," he said.
"It is with considerable regret that I have to announce my decision to stand down as chairman of Kilmarnock Football Club at the forthcoming annual general meeting. I will also retire as a director from that date."
Mann, who lived in Kilmarnock until 1972, was a senior executive with TUK Travel plc until his retirement shortly before taking over as chairman at Rugby Park.
Shortly after Mann took over, Gary Locke was made permanent manager having had a spell as caretaker, but the former Kilmarnock midfielder resigned in January with his side sitting second bottom of the table.
The Ayrshire side are in the same position despite the appointment of Lee Clark as Locke's successor and it was not until Saturday that they recorded their first victory under the new boss, at the seventh attempt - a 3-0 defeat of St Johnstone.
"Having been born and bred in Kilmarnock but having spent most of my career working in England, it was a dream come true to be appointed chairman of the club I have supported throughout my life in March 2015," Mann added.
"So this has not been an easy decision for me to reach, particularly at this difficult stage of the season with the club in a precarious league position.
"I wish Lee Clark, his backroom staff and the players the best of luck in the weeks ahead.

Summarize the information in the following document. | Tesla said it manufactured 11,600 cars in the first three months of 2015, 1,000 more than it had been projecting.
That led to revenues of $893m (£586m), a 52% increase from a year earlier.
However, the firm still reported a loss of $154m, reflecting continued investment in research and new manufacturing facilities.
Tesla said it planned to increase production by about 12% and manufacture 12,500 cars in the second quarter of 2015, but warned that a strengthening dollar would continue to hurt its bottom line.
It said it would increase its prices by 5% in Europe to try an offset that loss.
After admitting earlier this year that its China sales were less than expected, Tesla said that it was seeing a recovery in the market. It said it was still on track to sell 55,000 of its Model S and Model X cars in 2015.

Guardiola started with a back three but reverted to a four-man defence when his side trailed 2-0 after four minutes.
The Spaniard said: "It is not about the system. We defended well with these players at the beginning of the season.
"Now we have to stand up and analyse what happened, especially mentally to encourage the players to step forward."
England striker Jamie Vardy scored a hat-trick in Leicester's stunning win to end his 10-game run without a Premier League goal, while Andy King also netted.
Aleksandar Kolarov and Nolito scored late consolation goals for a Manchester City side who have lost back-to-back league games for the first time under Guardiola.
They have won only four of their past 15 games in all competitions, but the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss said he would not change the team's style.
"I want to play the football I feel," said Guardiola, whose team are four points adrift of leaders Arsenal.
"I cannot say we played badly or didn't play without the intention to create.
"Always I try to control the games so we concede few goals, in here I cannot do that and I have to analyse why.
"I want to win games, I don't want to lose games. I feel what I feel and in the Premier League there are some special things, but the pitch is the same. What I believe is good and will be good."
Manchester City failed to win a tackle in the first 35 minutes at the King Power Stadium, but Guardiola played down the statistic.
"The second balls is a concept here in England, I'm not a coach for the tackles so I don't train the tackles," he said.
Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy was critical of their tactics.
"That's as good as I've seen Leicester this season, it was like the Leicester of last season. But Manchester City didn't half help them.
"Kolarov was supposed to be playing as a third centre-half but he played so far forward, he left John Stones isolated.
"Pablo Zabaleta was playing in a weird in-between position and it didn't look like he knew what he was doing.
"Kevin de Bruyne appeared to be at left-wing-back. The communication and lack of defensive line was pretty bad. Kolarov was playing his own game going forward so often. They gave Leicester so many opportunities to attack them. It could have been more.
"Fifty changes they've made this season. It's nice to build relationships and have some familiarity. You can't keep changing players."
Guardiola defended £50m summer signing Stones, whose mistake presented Vardy with the opportunity to score his third goal.
"Today, except the last goal, he made a good performance. Central defenders is just defending, put the ball long, but what we want is a little bit more, not just defending.
"I'm not disappointed with my players. When I need to tell them something I will tell it to them. They are professional and old enough to know what happens.
"Hopefully in the future we can improve."

Several MPs complained of the "long arm of the Turkish state" while the Dutch PM said it was a "strange" move.
Last week, Germany allowed the prosecution of a top satirist for insulting Mr Erdogan to proceed.
Jan Boehmermann had read a crude poem on TV, aimed at testing German law.
Both Germany and the Netherlands have old lese majeste laws against insulting the head of a friendly head of state.
Initially the Turkish embassy declined to comment, saying merely that it had seen an increase in hate messages.
But after the story had prompted an outcry in the Netherlands, the embassy said there had been a misunderstanding.
It said a consulate employee had used an unfortunate choice of words in its message sent to Turkish groups in the Netherlands, Dutch broadcaster NOS reported. Apparently the consulate had only asked to hear about racist statements and hate campaigns.

Satire row stirs German fears over free speech
Merkel allows inquiry into Boehmermann
Some 400,000 people of Turkish origin live in the Netherlands and the Dutch branch of Turkish opposition party CHP said it had taken calls from a number of concerned people.
"They're scared because they said something critical in the past for example on Facebook or Twitter," a spokesperson told Dutch Turkish website Zaman Vandaag.
The Dutch cabinet called for a clarification from Turkey over the hotline, amid demands from some MPs for the Turkish ambassador to be summoned by the foreign ministry.
Prime Minister Mark Rutte said he was surprised. "It's not obvious what the Turkish government is trying to achieve with this action," he said.
Integration Minister Lodewijk Asscher accused the Turkish embassy of interfering in freedom of speech in the Netherlands.
Almost 2,000 cases have been opened in Turkey itself for insulting Mr Erdogan. But there has been uproar in Germany that a satirist could apparently be prosecuted at the behest of a foreign power.
Last week Chancellor Angela Merkel, who had termed the poem "deliberately offensive", decided to let prosecutors decide whether to press charges.
"To the relevant person,
We ask urgently for the names and written comments of people who have given derogatory, disparaging, hateful and defamatory statements against the Turkish president, Turkey and Turkish society in general, which have reached the members and relatives of your non-governmental organisations or fellow citizens from your surroundings via their social media addresses (such as Twitter or Facebook) or via the official address and e-mail addresses of your non-governmental organisation, to be sent in before the close of business on 21 April 2016 by email to the consulate general in Rotterdam

Four months on from a disastrous World Cup campaign on home soil, England established an early lead through George Kruis' converted try, but were then pegged back by the boot of Greig Laidlaw to make it 7-6 at half-time.
But after the hosts failed to capitalise on several promising openings, English strength from the bench helped establish a grip on what had been a messy affair.
Jack Nowell finished off a well-worked try and Owen Farrell landed his second penalty, and with their forwards increasingly in control, England closed the game out in comfort.
Scotland - who have not won the Calcutta Cup since 2008 - were left disappointed once again and their overall record remains just eight wins from nine Six Nations campaigns.
But a third successive win in Edinburgh for the men in white means Jones - who has had just seven training sessions with his new charges and had picked a team for a rumble rather than a revolution - has time to stamp his own mark on England.
England dominated the early territory and had their first try of the Jones era when Kruis rumbled through weak Scottish tackling to crash over from four metres out.
Laidlaw landed a fine penalty and as both sides attacked from deep and wide, the match quickly became frantic and error-ridden.
England were shipping penalties at a rate - eight in the first period alone - and with George Ford struggling at fly-half, Scotland gained a foothold in the game.
Laidlaw missed from out wide but made it 7-6 from 20m out after England were burgled at the breakdown, and had Russell not rushed a straightforward drop-goal attempt the home side would have led at the break.
Scotland came again, setting up a series of drives deep in English territory only for errors to leave them without reward.
Jones threw on Courtney Lawes for Joe Launchbury and Mako Vunipola for Joe Marler, and as England's ball-carriers made dents, quick ball came and the points with it.
George Ford went right, prop Vunipola hit Farrell with a cute inside pass and Nowell scampered into the corner for 12-6.
Farrell kicked a penalty to the corner and England drove the line-out, hammering away at the line until Russell intercepted and almost sent Stuart Hogg away.
Farrell then stroked over a penalty from distance, only for Scotland to haul themselves to within a converted try through Laidlaw's third penalty.
But England's power from the bench snuffed out any sparks, and they will head to Rome next week with some confidence restored.
England's go-to man so often, Billy Vunipola consistently made the sort of hard yards that gave the visitors critical momentum.
Scotland head coach Vern Cotter: "The players are very disappointed. That game was there to be won and that's the hard, cold fact."

Former England international Jeremy Guscott: "The old coaching regime identified that Billy Vunipola could be world class. He enjoys the game more than working on his conditioning. Keep him playing and keep him motivated by picking him."
Former Scotland international Andy Nicol: "I would give Scotland a rocket, but I would give them another opportunity. That was Scotland's best team out there today, and we need to stick with them."

A study for the Environment Agency concludes that trees round a feeder stream can slow the rush of rainwater and save properties from flooding.
But it warns that natural flood prevention methods do not always work.
And it urges a strategic approach because foresting a whole catchment would be counter-productive.
The report - from the universities of Birmingham and Southampton - says that with increased building on flood plains and climate change increasing the risk of heavy rain, many places can't be completely protected by walls of concrete.
There has been a rush of interest in natural methods - planting trees and creating leaky dams which attempt to delay the flow of water by creating mini-floods upstream.
But the report's authors suggest that most successful natural methods are likely to be on a much larger scale than currently in operation.
They advise a strategic approach - taking a tributary stream to a main river then foresting the area round it, allowing the stream to make its own meanders, and letting dead wood from the forest to block the stream where it will.
A drop of up to 20% in flood maximum can be achieved by doing this over 25-40% of the main catchment, they say.
That is because the forested area will release its water to the main stream later than water running off pastureland.
Proponents of "re-wilding" suggest turning a whole catchment to forests. But the authors say this would not work because all the water would be released at the same time.
They say the strategic approach will be challenging because of the numbers of landowners involved in tackling the catchment of a whole tributary stream.
New incentives may need to be found for farmers, who currently get EU grants for keeping land as pasture and clearing scrub and trees.
Simon Dixon from Birmingham University Institute for Forest Research told BBC News: "Where its possible to do more extensive planting than we're doing we really need to do it. It's a bit of a no-brainer."
He said that foresting even 10-15% of a catchment could prevent some flooding.
Ben Lukey, a flood risk manager for the Environment Agency, said there were insufficient funds to attempt the scale of works proposed in this report, although recent changes in grants might help.
"What's identified is opportunity for bigger impact with more strategic catchment but we have to be mindful of the possibility that if it's not done well it could make matters worse.
"To make the scale of changes to help a big city like Leeds for Manchester - that's a scale of ambition that would take sometime to come to pass."
The environment select committee will produce a report on flood management soon.
Floods minister Rory Stewart said the government was spending more than ever to protect communities and tree planting had a role to play along with improved defences and dredging.

Please give a summary of the document below. | It gets their season back on track after three straight defeats.
Dumbarton made them sweat for the points though as second half strikes from substitute Ryan Stevenson and Robert Thomson made for an uncomfortable finale.
However, they were reduced to 10 men when Gregor Buchanan received a second yellow card.
Left back McHattie broke the deadlock for the home side with a well driven shot for his second league goal of the campaign.
Then a two-goals-in-two-minutes burst threatened to put the result beyond Dumbarton's redemption, starting with Callachan's strike with the aid of a deflection.
The Sons hardly had time to recover from that before Roberts lashed in a 20 yard effort for his first goal since moving to the Kirkcaldy club on loan from Rangers.
However, Stevenson started the comeback with a stunning 25 yard drive before Thomson scrambled a second from close range.
The first half display was exactly the response Rovers boss Gary Locke was demanding after them being knocked out of the Irn Bru Cup by Forfar and losses in the league to Falkirk and Queen of the South.
All the more positive as influential captain Jason Thomson was missing through injury and the defender could be out for a while depending on the result of a visit to a specialist next week.
His place went to Liam Smith who was brought in on an emergency loan from Hearts on Friday and he slotted well until the Raith defence were caught out twice late on.
First Stevenson lashed a stunning drive from 25 yards in to the left hand corner of Kevin Cuthbert's net to spoil to goalkeeper's return from injury.
Not that he had much to do up till then but when Thomson claimed his third goal of the season he had a few nervy moments before the home side finally closed out the win.
Dumbarton's hopes of levelling weren't helped when Gregor Buchanan was sent off two minutes from time for a second yellow card and the Sons have now won just once in 12 games in all competitions this season.

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | Leeds University researchers said the events influenced first-time voters, younger voters and those who claimed they were not interested in politics.
They were also rated higher than newspapers and social media for helping people understand party policies.
Party leaders took part in four debates and Q&As after drawn-out negotiations.
According to the Democracy on Demand study, the programmes were successful in "reaching sections of the population least likely to be touched by the rest of the campaign".
More than half of people who said they were "not very" or "not at all" interested in politics said they planned to watch the first debate, on ITV, it said.
Over 30% of people who watched the debate said it made them "more interested in the election campaign", 70% of viewers said they now knew more about what the party leaders were like, and 60% felt they knew more about the policies being put forward.
Younger and first-time voters reacted more positively than "their more jaded elders", it said.
The debates were cited as the best way to compare the leaders' abilities to run the country, and were second after TV news for learning about the parties' policies.
Among undecided voters, they were cited ahead of TV news, interviews, newspapers and social media for helping people make up their minds.
The researchers carried out surveys of 2,000 people at the start of the campaign and after three of the programmes: ITV's seven-leader debate, the BBC's opposition leaders' debate which did not include David Cameron and Nick Clegg, and a Question Time show in which the PM, Ed Miliband and Mr Clegg were grilled separately. A fifth survey was carried out after polling day.
Professor Stephen Coleman, who led the research team, said: "We found that many voters feel they have a right to see the party leaders debate on television - the default assumption should now be that debates happen.
"Debates should become part of the fabric of major political events."
Chancellor George Osborne was challenged to support the debates at the next general election as he deputised for Mr Cameron at Prime Minister's Questions.
He said the issue was decided by discussions between political parties and broadcasters, adding he felt the PM had done well last time around.

It means Russia's track-and-field team is suspended from the Rio Olympics, although individual athletes can compete if they prove they are clean.
Dame Kelly, who won the 800m and 1500m in Athens, told BBC Radio Kent: "Until we make a stance, nothing changes."
She continued: "You can't go through life in sport with everybody being speculated on and everybody having a downer on sport.
"Being an ex-Olympian, I'm passionate about my sport. You don't want it tarnished by issues that happen in Russia and all over the world and in other sports, where people are cheating the system."

The International Olympic Committee has the power to overturn the IAAF's decision, but has strongly supported it, saying the ruling was in line with the IOC's "zero-tolerance policy".
It said in a statement it "fully respected" the IAAF's position, adding: "The eligibility of athletes in any international competition including the Olympic Games is a matter for the respective international federation."
Dame Kelly, who retired in 2005, said her view is influenced largely by her own experience of competing against athletes she suspected of doping.
"It's been exposed now, but it's been happening for years," she said.
"You had people like myself, who went through years and years of determination, commitment, hard work and emotional trauma to try to reach my full potential, and you knew you could be in the same race as someone who has done it with no tears. That's not funny and not fair.
"There are many - 99.9% of sports people - who do it the way I did it, for the love of the sport and the dreams that you have.
"It's really not right when people do it by (unfair) means. That needs to be stopped. Until we make that stance, it's going to continue happening." | Double Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes has welcomed the IAAF's decision to uphold Russia's ban from international competition. |

The Twitter-owned video streaming app said "people in a broadcast are best suited to determine what's okay and what's not".
One expert welcomed the feature but said it could be misused in some cases.
Periscope said it wanted comment moderation on the platform to work in real time, to complement the live content in its app.
"Periscope is real-time, people should be able to report and moderate comments as they appear on the screen," it said in a blog post.
It said a handful of live-stream viewers would be chosen at random to vote whether reported comments were appropriate.
If the instant jury decides a comment is offensive, the writer will be temporarily banned from chatting in the live broadcast.
"It's potentially a good idea," Mark Griffiths, professor of psychology at Nottingham Trent University, told the BBC.
"People learn from experience, so if somebody writes a comment and gets blocked from the live chat, perhaps they'll see what they wrote in a different light."
However, crowd-sourced moderation could also be used to silence opinions in a live-stream on a political issue or other sensitive topic.
"There are good intentions behind it, but when it comes to abuse online, things can be quite subjective," said Prof Griffiths.
"As with anything like this, these systems can be abused if people want to abuse them, particularly in political conversations.
"Obviously the main message is that there are always other options available to users, and this is one additional reporting tool to the ones already on Twitter and Periscope," he said.

Summarize the information given below. | The man in charge of assessing the leaks' damage, Richard Ledgett, said he could be open to an amnesty deal.
Disclosures by the former intelligence worker have revealed the extent of the NSA's spying activity.
But NSA Director Gen Keith Alexander has dismissed the idea.
Mr Ledgett spoke to US television channel CBS about the possibility of an amnesty deal: "So my personal view is, yes it's worth having a conversation about.
"I would need assurances that the remainder of the data could be secured, and my bar for those assurances would be very high, would be more than just an assertion on his part."
By Jonny DymondWashington correspondent
An amnesty for Edward Snowden is an intriguing prospect. But don't hold your breath. Richard Ledgett's boss, General Keith Alexander, the head of the NSA, poured very cold water on the idea when he spoke to CBS News.
And much of Congress, which gave every indication of wanting to see Mr Snowden torn limb from limb when the leaks started, would be apoplectic; it would be an unimaginably hard-sell politically.
But the talk of an amnesty is an indication of the NSA's deepest fears: that Mr Snowden really has got what Rick Ledgett called "the keys to the kingdom", and is prepared to make it public.
Authoritative reports suggest that the agency is finding it very difficult to work out what Mr Snowden did and didn't take. Talk of an amnesty from the agency suggests it is deeply concerned about what comes next from Edward Snowden.
But Gen Alexander, who is retiring early next year, rejected the idea of any amnesty for Mr Snowden.
"This is analogous to a hostage taker taking 50 people hostage, shooting 10, and then say, 'if you give me full amnesty, I'll let the other 40 go'. What do you do?"
In an earlier interview with the Reuters news agency, Mr Ledgett said he was deeply worried about highly classified documents not yet public that are among the 1.7 million files Mr Snowden is believed to have accessed.
Mr Snowden's disclosures have been "cataclysmic" for the agency, Mr Ledgett told Reuters.
Earlier this month, a UK newspaper editor told UK MPs only 1% of files leaked by Mr Snowden had been published by the newspaper.
The state department says its position has not changed and that Mr Snowden must return to the US to face charges, says the BBC's Suzanne Kianpour.
The US has charged Mr Snowden with theft of government property, unauthorised communication of national defence information and wilful communication of classified communications intelligence.
Each of the charges carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence.

In a report, the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) said such women were an "untapped recruitment pool" for MI5, MI6 and GCHQ.
It said more than half of the civil service were women, but the figure was 37% in the intelligence agencies.
Hazel Blears, the Labour MP who led the report, called for a culture change.
Women make up 53% of all civil servant roles but the report found that in the three intelligence agencies there are "disproportionally more" female members of staff at junior grades, with only 19% reaching senior grades.
The report said women should not be limited to certain jobs.
Ms Blears said: "I personally want women to be attracted to a career in intelligence and to feel there is the prospect of real advancement."
Speaking to BBC's Woman's Hour she said things are improving but are still not good enough.
She said "We need to keep using women's skills and experience.
"If you have been running agents in Afghanistan, you are a really valuable resource.
"It is absolutely crucial that after you come back having had children that you don't go into something like HR or finance."
Ms Blears claimed there could be an issue for women with children when MI6 officers needed to travel abroad.
She said: "There is a bit of testosterone in the system that says 'tickets, money, passport - we all have to get there'.
"And if you've got children, finding 24-hour childcare is often very difficult.
"I feel quite strongly that the agencies can plan better, even for emergencies, you can have plans in place, you can have childcare providers."
Ms Blears said some female recruits at MI6 had complained about the attitudes they encountered within the service.
One female recruit told the committee that she thought the organisational culture was male dominated.
She said: "I was told once during training that I could have used my 'womanly charms' to build rapport by a role player, which I found very frustrating as I wondered what my male colleagues did to build rapport without such charms."
A government spokesman said it was determined to increase the number of women in the security and intelligence agencies, particularly at a senior level.
He said: "The agencies have made good progress, which is acknowledged by the ISC, and clearly demonstrated by the representation of agency boards and by the increasing availability of operational roles with flexible working patterns.
"We are committed to ensuring the most talented people succeed and reach top positions, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality or disability, and will report to the ISC by 2016."
Former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright praised Ms Blears' three-year investigation and said it echoed work she had done at the CIA.
She said: "Diversity should be pursued - not just on legal or ethical grounds - but because it will result in a better response to the range of threats that threaten national security."

Write a summary for this information. | Gordon Sykes said police had opened an exit gate at the turnstiles and blocked a tunnel leading to the central terraces "at least four times" in the decade before the disaster.
He told the inquests that before 1989, the police had "got away with it".
Mr Sykes later spoke of his experiences on the day, which were used by The Sun.
Ninety-six fans died as a result of a crush in the central pens of the terraces at the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989.
Fresh inquests into the deaths are being held in Warrington, Cheshire.
Mr Sykes told the jury how he was involved in policing football matches at Hillsborough throughout the 1980s.
They heard that in a police interview in February 2014, he had described the area outside the Leppings Lane turnstiles as a "death trap".
Mr Sykes told court the layout of those turnstiles had previously caused problems and the access route outside the ground meant fans would get "trapped" in corners or against fences and gates.
"If it got so bad, I would radio through to the control room and explain what was happening and ask them to use the gate C - which is outside - to let people in."
He explained that at previous matches, after a request to open a gate was made, match control would ask the police inspector behind the turnstiles to block off the access to the tunnel leading to the terraces.
Asked about how the police had managed that area prior to the disaster, the former inspector said officers would try to "hold people back with cordons, horses, whatever facilities we had got to try to relieve the pressure".
"Up to 1989, I'm going to put it bluntly, we got away with it."
Mr Sykes said his views should have been well known to senior officers.
He said he and other officers had shared their views on ground safety "many times" with match commanders.
"People were well aware what my feelings were and the feelings of fellow officers.
"The match commanders were obviously aware of it because they approved the opening of the gates."
He told the jury he had been not impressed by the newly appointed match commander Ch Supt David Duckenfield when he attended a briefing by him the day before the disaster.
"I knew him in that I knew who he were [sic], but I had never worked with him.
"I didn't know his background, his history. I sensed he were weak and probably didn't have a clear understanding of what a semi-final entailed.
"It was just my impression of the way that he put things over. I didn't think it were a briefing that inspired you, if I can say that."
The inquests continue.

Ervin Zador, 21 years old in 1956, was the star player in Hungary's Olympic water polo team at the Melbourne Olympics in Australia.
"I turned back and with a straight arm, he just smacked me in the face. He tried to punch me out."
The man punching Ervin Zador was a Russian water polo player, during one of the most highly charged battles in Olympic history.
It was only a matter of weeks since Soviet tanks and troops had rolled into the Hungarian capital Budapest - brutally crushing an anti-Soviet uprising.
Hundreds of Hungarians had been killed, thousands more arrested.
But at the height of the crackdown, the country's water polo team had been cut off from the news at a training camp in Czechoslovakia.
They only found out the extent of the violence when they finally arrived in Australia.
Ervin Zador remembers how the only English-speaker on the team bought a local paper at the airport in Darwin and read the news to them.
"He said that the Russians came back, bombed Budapest and the revolution was over, reprisals and all - and that's when I said, 'OK that's it, I'm not going home.'"
The Hungarian team won their first matches at the Melbourne Olympics easily.
They met the Russian team in the semi-final on 6 December 1956.
Ervin Zador says their game plan revolved around "verbally agitating" the Russian players.
"We figured, if they get angry, they'll start to fight.
"Once they fight, they won't play well. If they don't play well, we'll beat them - and if we beat them, we'll win the Olympics!"
For the Hungarians, all educated in the Soviet system, being rude in Russian was not hard.
"From the age of 10, I took more Russian than Hungarian. So you can imagine, by the age of 21, I had enough Russian to do anything - it was verbal on our end, hoping that they would react physically."
Throughout the match there was kicking and punching from both sides.
Five players were ordered out of the pool by the referee.
But the Hungarians were the better team. By the fourth quarter they were 4-0 ahead.
Ervin Zador had scored two of the goals. But with only a couple of minutes left in the match, one of his teammates asked him to mark an angry Russian player, Valentin Prokopov.
It was Prokopov who hit Zador in the eye, just moments before the final whistle.
"I saw about 4,000 stars. And I reached to my face and I felt warm blood pouring down.
"And I instantly said, 'Oh my God, I won't be able to play the next game.'"
As Ervin Zador climbed out of the pool with blood streaming from his head, the crowd went wild.
Spectators and Hungarian officials jumped the barrier and rushed towards the Russian team.
The Australian police had to escort them from the swimming pool. Journalists and photographers crowded round the injured player.
The Hungarians won the Olympic final 2-1 against Yugoslavia.

But Ervin Zador, the star player, had to sit it out by the side of the pool.
"I sat through it and that was the hardest one hour of my life."
He rejoined his team-mates for the medal ceremony, but says it was a very difficult moment.
"I wanted to cry but I couldn't. After five years training, I needed to achieve this goal, and finally I did it.
But it was in this weird circumstance that I couldn't play the last game, and I was on the podium in civilian clothes. It was very emotional."
After the Olympics were over, Ervin Zador did not return to Hungary.
He moved to the United States and settled in Northern California, becoming a businessman and swimming coach.
He trained a teenage Mark Spitz, the US Olympic swimming legend from the 1960s and 70s, and still coaches young swimmers today.

The hosts rallied through Tasi before former Salford man Caton-Brown took a pass from Liam Finn to cross and Batchelor touched down from a Sam Williams kick in the final minute.
Victory for Trinity lifted them up to fourth in the table.
Salford coach Ian Watson:
"In the first half we dominated field position which seems a strange thing to say when you go in 16-6 down. We didn't give Wakefield a sniff of our goal line apart from our errors and invited them to score.
"Little bits of our attack were probably off in certain areas - whether that's a build up of fatigue I don't know.
"Wakefield took their opportunities and we didn't. We haven't defended as we should have. It's up to us now to recover."
Wakefield coach Chris Chester:
"There is plenty of character in this side and I thought it was a really good team performance in tough circumstances.
"We played for the full 80 minutes - even with five minutes to go we still had that belief that we could get over the top of them.
"On the whole we probably edged it. We completed really high in the first half and then gave them a bit of a leg-up at the end of the first half which gave them a big lift going in at half-time. There was some great character shown and some good individual performances.
"Caton-Brown has got pace to burn and he's had to wait for his opportunity. He is an outstanding young British talent and I'm pleased that he's playing some good footy."

Gary McAllister from the Amalgamation of Official NI Supporters' Clubs explained the background to the initiative.
"The Football Fans' Embassy is something that has been organised by the bigger nations for 26 years, previously the amalgamation has provided an ad hoc service where we work with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), Irish Football Association (IFA) and the authorities in the country we are in," he said.
"For the Euro 2016 finals, a more formal structure has been put in place delivered in partnership with Football Supporters Europe and we have the support of the IFA, PSNI, and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, it is recognised by UEFA.
"We have recruited 50 supporters from the amalgamation clubs, acting as ambassadors helping us to deliver the embassy at all three group games.
"Information will be shared in terms of how you get to the stadium, what you do if you have lost your passport etc, they will also help people with lost property."
Mr McAllister described the help that had been provided in the past to supporters on away trips for Northern Ireland games.
"In Budapest in Hungary there was an issue with public transport and we negotiated with Hungarian police to ensure there was a free shuttle bus to and from the stadium for the match, we did the same in Romania," he said.
"At a game in Luxembourg, a fan fell and he was concussed, we helped to identify him and track down his friends that were at the match who were able to be with him.
"One time we had a woman from Newbuildings who lost her make-up bag when Northern Ireland played Serbia in Belgrade. Someone handed the bag into us and I left it in with her the next time I was travelling to Londonderry from Belfast."
A Northern Ireland fans' guide for the Euro 2016 finals has already been distributed to 6,000 supporters ahead of the tournament.
"The guides are also available on the Irish Football Association (IFA) website," Mr McAllister said. "They have been produced in partnership with the Football Supporters' Federation and the Foreign Office.
"They have information on all ten host cities, driving in France and lots of other useful information."
Plans are also in place to create a special atmosphere at the team's group games against Poland, Ukraine and Germany.
"We work with the IFA and there will be several thousand green and white flags distributed through the fans' embassy at the Poland game," he said.
"We also will be involved in face painting for the three group games through the fans' embassy, supporting the IFA's Sea Of Green initiative.

Summarize the information in the following document. | A court was told that John McGrandle pushed David Kettles down a flight of stairs before stabbing him with a knife.
McGrandle later insisted Mr Kettles had injured himself during the incident in a common close last November.
The 42 year-old was convicted of attempted murder following a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
Mr Kettles told a jury that he had visited his girlfriend at her flat before going to a local shop.
When he returned, McGrandle was inside the close arguing with another resident, Robert Ramsay.
Mr Kettles let Mr Ramsay into his partner's home in a bid to "calm it down" before asking McGrandle to leave.
Mr Kettles said: "He cuddled me, said alright - and then pushed me downstairs."
He told the jury he then remembered blood "coming out" of him.
He initially thought he had been punched, but realised he had been stabbed.
Mr Kettles said: "It was definitely a knife. I saw the glint. He was taking his anger out on me. It was meant for Rab."
Judge Sean Murphy QC told McGrandle the assault had "potentially fatal consequences".
He also noted McGrandle had previous convictions for assault and possession of a knife.
The judge ordered McGrandle to be supervised for a further two years on his release.

This is up from 17,790 who entered higher education at the same point in 2012.
According to Ucas, 140 Welsh students are set to attend university in Scotland while just 10 will study in Northern Ireland.
Figures also showed 1,310 Welsh students had won a place through clearing.

"It was probably a good game for the neutral. They had chances, we had chances and it was quite open at times but we came to win.
"We were desperate for the second goal which wasn't forthcoming. We counter-attacked more in the second half and maybe could have done it better.
"We got the ball in good areas but then gave it straight back and we gave a lot of stupid free-kicks away which gave them the momentum."
Mohit Goel was held after one of the phone's distributors claimed it had not received handsets it had paid for.
The Freedom 251 phone, priced at 251 rupees ($3.70; £3), went on pre-sale in February 2016.
But while many customers got their phones, Ringing Bells is accused of not fulfilling all of its orders.

The distribution company, Ayam Enterprises, said it paid 3m rupees ($45,000; £35,800) after Mr Goel persuaded it to distribute the phone.
But it claimed only 1.4m-worth of devices were delivered and alleged staff received death threats if they "kept asking for the money again and again".
Police spokesman Rahul Srivastava confirmed the arrest to the BBC, and said that Mr Goel would appear in court on Friday.
"A number of similar complaints have been filed against him from other parts of the state. We want to investigate these claims thoroughly," he said.
"It's important for us to expose these scams because innocent people end up losing their hard-earned money.
"We are seeing an increasing number of technology-related frauds. I appeal to people to be sure before investing money into such schemes."
Ringing Bells first started taking money for the phones in February last year, initially promising delivery by June.
Demand for the cheap handset, which it sold through its own website, caused the company's servers to crash.
At the launch, Mr Goel had said the phone would be locally made as part of the Make in India program, promoted aggressively by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.
But there were plenty of questions around the firm's business model, with many asking how it could be offered so cheaply. Several analysts have described the phone as a "ponzi scheme". | A farmer has been attacked and robbed of his quad bike by a gang of teenagers in West Lothian.
