Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Milford Haven Coastguard received a 999 call on Sunday reporting that a man had fallen into the sea after he and another man were cut off by the tide in rough seas and near gale force winds.
Coastguard rescue teams from Gwbert, Moylegrove and Cardigan searched the coastline near Mwnt at low tide.
A decision will be made on Tuesday over continuing the search.
Known as "El Chapo", he was taken to a prison near Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso in Texas, as part of a normal rotation of prisoners for security reasons, officials said.
The head of the Sinaloa drug cartel, Guzman was re-captured in January, six months after he escaped from prison.
Guzman is wanted in the US on charges of smuggling drugs into the country.
Mexican officials told Reuters news agency that Guzman's transfer to Ciudad Juarez was not a precursor to extradition.
Mexico's National Security Commission said it was in line with security protocols, and it had rotated more than 7,400 inmates as part of new security strategy.
The authorities said that Guzman was moved to a new prison "because of works taking place to reinforce security" in Altiplano - his old prison near Mexico City.
Analysts suggested the move was to prevent him escaping during the works.
Guzman, who was named Public Enemy Number One by the Chicago Crime Commission in 2013, has been indicted by at least seven US federal district courts.
Mexican officials say the process to extradite him to the US could take at least a year.
In March, Guzman asked to be extradited rapidly so he could receive better treatment in prison.
His lawyer said Guzman had asked him to stop fighting his extradition because guards at his prison would not let him sleep.
Guzman was captured in January and returned to the Altiplano maximum security jail near Mexico City after six months on the run.
He had escaped from Altiplano in July through a 1.5km-long (one mile) tunnel under the floor of his shower stall in his cell.
Leaked security footage of Guzman's prison break showed how guards failed to detect his escape until more than 20 minutes after it had happened, despite the sound of loud banging coming from his cell.
Mexican marines arrested him in the western state of Sinaloa after he fled a safe house through a storm drain.
The prison director and a number of guards were arrested in connection with his escape.

Dr Jasmine Donahaye called for a national debate on why women are not represented as widely as men such as Sir Gareth Edwards, Aneurin Bevan and Tommy Cooper.
She became interested after writing a biography of author Lily Tobias.
There are statues of Queen Victoria in Wrexham and Boudicca in Cardiff City Hall.
Dr Donahaye told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement there are lots of generic women and angel statues in Welsh towns and cities, but few individuals.
"People who read (Lily Tobias' biography) are taken aback. They ask 'how come we have never heard of her? Why was she lost and fell from view?'"
Cardiff North AM Julie Morgan said the contributions of many women "have been submerged".
She said there is a health board named after "the Welsh Florence Nightingale" Betsi Cadwaladr, but no statue.
Mrs Morgan also said she would like to see statues of the Davies sisters, Gwendoline and Margaret, who contributed their vast art collection to the National Museum of Wales. | A shoreline search for a man missing after being washed off rocks on the Ceredigion coast has taken place.

Summarize the following content briefly. | The Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) said it had deciphered a document, from 8 January AD 57, found at the dig at Bloomberg's new headquarters.
The first ever reference to London, financial documents and evidence of schooling have also been translated.
Over 700 artefacts from the dig will go on display when the building opens.
According to MOLA, the tablets reveal the first years of the capital "in the words of the people who lived, worked, traded with and administered the new city".
Director Sophie Jackson said the findings had "far exceeded all expectations" and would allow archaeologists "to get closer to the first Roman Britons".
Earliest reference to London
Researchers believe this tablet, is the earliest ever reference to London predating Tacitus' mention of London in his Annals which were produced about 50 years later.
Dated AD 65/70-80, it reads "Londinio Mogontio" which translates to "'In London, to Mogontius".
Earliest readable tablet
This tablet was found in a layer dated by MOLA to AD 43-53 so is thought to have been from the Romans' first decade of rule.
In translation it reads "...because they are boasting through the whole market that you have lent them money. Therefore I ask you in your own interest not to appear shabby... you will not thus favour your own affairs...."
Evidence of schooling
The letters on this tablet show part of the alphabet: "ABCDIIFGHIKLMNOPQRST"
Archaeologists believe it is writing practice, or a demonstration of literacy or letterforms, and possibly the first evidence of Roman schooling found in Britain.
Earliest dated document from Roman Britain
This tablet reads: " In the consulship of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus for the second time and of Lucius Calpurnius Piso, on the 6th day before the Ides of January (8 January AD 57).I, Tibullus the freedman of Venustus, have written and say that I owe Gratus the freedman of Spurius 105 denarii from the price of the merchandise which has been sold and delivered. This money I am due to repay him or the person whom the matter will concern..."
According to MOLA, it is the earliest intrinsically-dated document ever found in the UK, and is a financial document written on 8 January AD 57.
The documents were written on wooden tablets which would have been covered in blackened beeswax.
Although the wax has not survived, the words were etched into the wood below using styluses.
The area is around the buried Walbrook River and objects were trapped in soaking mud which helped to preserve the wood.
Once excavated, the tablets were kept in water, then cleaned and freeze-dried.
Dr Roger Tomlin, who translated the documents said it had been "a privilege to eavesdrop" on the people of Roman London.
The London Mithraeum exhibition will open at the site in autumn 2017.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Firefighters resuscitated two dogs after the blaze at a house on Kenyon Way in Little Hulton which began at about 19:00 on Sunday.
The revived dogs, one of which was a puppy, were brought back to life by giving them oxygen and massaging their hearts.
Eight people in the house, two parents and six children escaped unhurt.
Fire crews from Farnworth and Atherton attended the scene.
Watch Manager John Duffin from said: "There was a severe fire at the side of the property with flames reaching the top of the house.
"The dogs were in a range of garden sheds and kennels and other wooden structures. The neighbour was doing a sterling job out the back with a hosepipe and rescued four of five dogs before we arrived."
He said it was unusual for crews to administer oxygen to animals.
"We normally do CPR and first aid on humans but we managed to revive two dogs that were not breathing.
"It is similar to the actions you perform on humans. We put oxygen on the dogs and one of the firefighters actually massaged the heart of one of the dogs which had stopped breathing."
Fire investigators believed the blaze began in a kennel in the back garden.
Mr Duffin said: "We think it was a heat lamp and there was a young dog in one of the cages who was a jumper and we think the dog was jumping up and down in the kennel and knocked the heat lamp onto the straw on the floor.
"The kennels and sheds are totally destroyed. It is a mess. Fire always leaves devastation behind and the family is obviously upset and the neighbours." | Ten dogs were rescued from a "severe" fire at a private kennels in Salford in which four animals died. |
Please summarize the document below. | Ms Dolezal will be the special guest at an event intended to promote a dialogue for a "non-racial" South Africa.
In 2015 she was accused of deception after her parents said she was white.
But her prospective South African hosts say her critics are jealous of her successful "racial transitioning".
Ms Dolezal resigned as head of a local branch of a US anti-racism organisation after her parents spoke publicly about their daughter.
She says the rejection she has faced subsequently has meant she has been unable to find a job and has also recently changed her name, saying she should now be known as Nkechi Amare Diallo.
In South Africa she will be attending the inaugural event of the group Quest for Non Racial South African Society Dialogue (QfNRSASD), which promotes an agenda for racial harmony among South Africans.
"They collectively critique and butcher Rachel Dolezal only because she successfully transitioned race, a stuck reality for them, and inconceivable only because it is believed it is not possible, if not an unpardonable sin," the group's founder Bishop Clyde Ramalaine said.
Ms Dolezal was "evidence of the myth of race", he added.
Last month Ms Dolezal told the BBC that the idea of race was "a lie" and argued that the concept of "transracial" - similar to that of transgender - was useful in describing people such as herself.
"Race is a lie. How can I be accused of lying about a lie," she said.
She has written a book about her experience, In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World, in which she recounts her "quest to find herself in a black and white world".

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | The incident happened at about 08:45 on Tuesday in Alexander Street, Kirkcaldy. Jewellery and a money box containing a four-figure sum of cash was stolen.
One of the attackers was male, aged about 40, 5ft 10in tall and of skinny build. He had a local accent and was wearing a blue hooded top.
The second attacker spoke with a "squeaky" voice.
The second suspect was also shorter, skinny and was wearing a cream baseball cap.
Det Sgt Colin Potter, of Police Scotland, said: "This has been a distressing incident for the resident.
"I would appeal for anyone who was in the area at the time and may have witnessed anything suspicious to contact the police."

Fellow new signing Jeffrey Schlupp is in contention after a hamstring strain but Scott Dann is injured.
John Motson: "Only goal difference is keeping Crystal Palace off the foot of the table. Their league position can't get much worse but you have to wonder when, or if, it will improve.
"Under Alan Pardew and now Sam Allarydce, Palace have only won seven of their last 45 league fixtures - losing 27.
"One of those wins was a 4-1 thumping of Stoke in September but the current bad run started after another victory against the Potters, at the bet365 Stadium in December 2015.
"Can they emulate that win? Well, mid-table Stoke have only won twice in 10 games but a point might be viewed as a step in the right direction for Palace."
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes: "The game will be difficult for us because clearly Palace had a poor performance and result last time out, and you would imagine without a doubt there will be a reaction from them.
"They are struggling a little bit for form and in a bad place - but actually I view it as probably the worst result for us because you know they will be better than they were last week.
"We have to be ready and make sure that we impose our game on them, and not vice versa."
Crystal Palace manager Sam Allardyce on last week's 4-0 home defeat by Sunderland: "By the end of Sunday morning it was all clear what we'd been through and how we'd let ourselves down.
"It is something we don't want to do again, I don't want to bring them in at seven o'clock in the morning just to get it out of the way but hopefully it has had the desired effect.
"Last Saturday at home, it was like a hot knife through butter as they say, we were wide open and had no defensive solidarity so we have got to get back to knowing what gets us out of the position we are in."
Stoke did not create many chances in their defeat at West Brom last week but they always cause teams problems at home, which is bad news for Palace.

Police said the lone female staff attendant was "terrified" by the incident, which occurred at about 21:30 on 21 October.
Officers continue to investigate and have appealed for witnesses.
The suspect, thought to be a man, was about 6ft tall, between 16 and 30 years of age, was of slim or medium build and was wearing dark clothing including a black hoodie with the hood up.
Det Insp Graeme Hendry said officers had been making "extensive" inquiries.
He said: "The response from people in Denny has been magnificent and I am grateful to them, however we have still to identify the person.
"I am sure that someone knows the identity of the person and that they too will be alarmed by the trauma this crime caused the staff at the garage."
The Ramada in Portrush, which was owned by the Kennedy family, went into administration on Thursday.
Nama has appointed receivers to the Kennedys' other property assets in relation to a £48m debt.
East Londonderry MP Gregory Campbell said he feared the move could see the hotel sold at a significant discount.
He said it could mark the start of a so-called fire sale by Nama of properties it holds in NI.
Nama has always maintained it is not in its interests to have a fire sale in Northern Ireland.
So far, there has been no comment from the agency.
The news was met with shock by the owners and local politicians.
The 69-bedroom hotel has an annual turnover of £2.2m and has won several awards.
The owners were informed on Thursday afternoon that administrators had been appointed and will now run the hotel.
The 50 full-time and part-time staff have been informed.
The owners said that despite several requests, they had been unable to meet with Nama over the past few months.
In a statement on the hotel's Facebook site, Alistair Kennedy said the business would trade as normal.
"We have been assured that all bookings and reservations are safe," he said.
"The Kennedy family who have owned and operated the hotel for the past 11 years would like to thank all our customers and friends for the support and custom they have given us over that period of time."
Mr Kennedy said he hoped customers would continue to support the hotel's staff "during what is obviously going to be a very difficult period for all involved".
In an interview with the BBC, Mr Kennedy said that on Tuesday the group had been served with a demand by Bank of Ireland, on behalf of Nama, to repay £48m of loans within 24 hours.
Those loans had originally been advanced to Kennedy Group companies by Bank of Ireland, AIB and Anglo Irish.
He said the group had sent annual business plans to Nama in October and November but the agency had been refusing to meet to discuss them.
In a statement, the administrators, from the Belfast-based accountancy and consultancy firm RSM McClure Watters, said that the hotel would remain open for business.
"We hope that people will continue to benefit from the hotel's facilities and our immediate objective is to maintain operations and honour bookings.
"Given the continuation of trade we look forward to working with the hotel's staff to drive the business forward."
DUP MP Gregory Campbell said the hotel was "quite crucial" to the causeway coast area.
"This is a well-run profitable establishment and the owners and many people in the community can't understand why Nama has moved to put it into administration," he said.
In October 2010, the construction arm of the Kennedy Group was placed into administration.
It consisted of J Kennedy and Co Contractors and three related firms, Kennedy Crane Hire, Kennedy Concrete Products and J Kennedy and Company (manufacturing).
A list of properties which have been repossessed by Nama included an industrial site on Letterloan Road in Coleraine. This is believed to be the former premises of Kennedy Concrete Products.
It is not clear why Nama has now decided to take further enforcement action against the group.
Mr Campbell and his fellow DUP MP Ian Paisley have expressed concern at the administration move and said they hoped to raise the matter with Nama through Finance Minister Sammy Wilson in the days ahead. | Police have issued CCTV footage of an armed robbery at a petrol station in Denny in a bid to catch the culprit.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | The election commission said it moved the poll date because troops needed to protect polling stations were being deployed to fight Boko Haram.
The postponement was welcomed by the ruling party, but the US said it was "disappointed".
Nigeria has been battling an insurgency by Boko Haram in the north-east.
Thousands of people have died as a result of the militant group's insurgency over the past six years.
Boko Haram has also started attacking Nigeria's neighbours: on Sunday, for the second time in three days, the militants attacked the Niger border town of Diffa.
At least one person was killed in a blast in the town's market, with some witnesses saying a suicide bomber was responsible.
The chairman of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun, said the move to delay the elections until 28 March, announced late on Saturday, was "highly provocative" and "a major setback for Nigerian democracy".
However, he urged Nigerians to "remain calm and desist from violence and any activity which will compound this unfortunate development".
Former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari from the APC is challenging incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, who heads the People's Democratic Party (PDP), in the upcoming elections.
Correspondents say it looks set to be a tight race between the two.
Opposition officials accuse the military of forcing the electoral commission into the delay to help the sitting president's campaign.
However, Attahiru Jega, head of the election commission, said the postponement was necessary as he had been told that troops would not be available to protect voters as they were too busy conducting operations against Boko Haram.
"The commission cannot lightly wave off the advice of the nation's security chiefs," he said.
The delay is highly contentious and will be seen by many Nigerians as foul play. What is not clear at this stage is whether it will favour President Goodluck Jonathan or his rival, Muhammadu Buhari.
Attahiru Jega made a point of saying this was a decision taken by the electoral commission but clearly the "referee" was under intense pressure.
The Boko Haram conflict has raged for five years but just days before the vote, Professor Jega was suddenly told the entire military would be focused solely on the north-east - in other words, "you are getting no help from the military, you are on your own". With the threat of violence so real, he was put in a tight corner.
It seems highly unlikely that the conflict will be brought to an end within the next few weeks, so will the election be held at all? That may depend on whether some powerful personalities feel President Jonathan is well placed for a victory.
Mixed reaction to delay
Who are Nigeria's Boko Haram Islamists?
How have Boko Haram become so strong?
The country's national security adviser had called for a postponement last month, saying that more time was needed to distribute biometric voter cards.
The ruling PDP party praised the postponement, and said the commission was facing "numerous logistical problems and numerous internal challenges", the AP news agency reported.
However, US Secretary of State John Kerry said the US was "deeply disappointed" by the latest development.
"Political interference with the Independent National Electoral Commission is unacceptable, and it is critical that the government not use security concerns as a pretext for impeding the democratic process," he said.
Parliamentary elections due to take place on 14 February have also been postponed to 28 March, and elections for state governors and assemblies slated for 28 February have been moved to 11 April.

Summarize the information given below. | Dr Mary Bousted, head of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), said new performance-related pay structures meant new teachers could not predict their future earnings.
Teachers' pay had fallen 12% against inflation, she told the ATL conference.
The government said the changes would let heads pay good teachers more.
A new pay structure for teachers was introduced in England and Wales last September.
The move was controversial and led to industrial action by members of the National Union of Teachers and the NASUWT.
Dr Bousted said: "What was previously an expectation that if you worked for so many years, you would be earning X" was no longer there for younger teachers.
They were wary of rising interest rates and reluctant to commit to mortgages.
"The issue of teachers not knowing what they're going to be paid, and the workload, is making the profession deeply unattractive," said Dr Bousted.
She told the conference in Manchester: "[Education Secretary] Michael Gove told the School Teachers' Review Body that he wanted to pay the best teachers more.
"He said that the national pay framework was constraining individual schools from paying the best teachers more. So he abolished the national pay framework.
"He said teachers' incremental pay scales meant that they were rewarded just for turning up, not for good performance. So he abolished the pay scales."
In her conference speech, Dr Bousted also launched a stinging attack on Ofsted, saying senior management's desire to create an inspection-ready school "destroyed collaboration".
She said the inspectorate should be "radically slimmed down" and all inspectors properly trained and licensed, saying it was "so damaged, so tarnished" that it had to be completely transformed.
"Someone has to stand up for teachers and someone has to stand up to bullies," she told her members.
"School leaders, whose jobs are as secure as their Ofsted category, too often resort to dictatorial ways, telling teachers what to do, insisting on ridiculous bureaucracies around lesson planning and assessment frameworks, which take teachers' time and attention from a deep focus on teaching and learning."
Inspection findings were, she claimed, rarely valid or reliable.
"We know that, frankly, it's a lottery which depends on which Ofsted inspection team turns up - one that has a clue, or one that is clueless."
She said: "I am not alone in coming to the conclusion that Ofsted gets it very wrong far too often - the normally Tory-supporting, right-wing think-tank Policy Exchange, in its recent report on Ofsted, says that you might as well flip a coin to come to an Ofsted judgement on teaching quality."
The Policy Exchange report, Watching the Watchmen, recommended Ofsted abolish or radically reduce the number of inspectors it uses from private companies, saying many inspectors do not have the skills needed to make fair judgements of schools.
Dr Bousted expressed concern that the "Ofsted sword of Damocles" hung over any senior leader "foolish enough" to think they would be given sufficient time to turn around schools with problems.
"Ofsted has ensured that leaders taking these positions significantly raise their risk of committing career suicide."
An Ofsted spokeswoman said the inspectorate had played a major part in raising standards in England's schools over the past 21 years.
She said: "Our reports remain a valuable and independent source of information for parents, carers and the wider public.
"As Her Majesty's chief inspector has said, Ofsted does not expect schools to adopt a particular way of teaching.
"However, we have toughened our inspection frameworks over recent years and schools are rising to the challenge." | Young teachers are shying away from taking out mortgages because of uncertainty about future earnings, says a teachers' union leader. |

Investigators in Italy are to examine claims that the mafia dominates the distribution of Sicily's Pachino tomatoes.
Many food-lovers consider this particularly sweet and juicy variety to be the country's best tomatoes.
The investigation follows a popular TV presenter's call for a shoppers' boycott.
Pachino tomatoes are widely acknowledged to be tastier than most.
So it was a shock to many - especially in a country that takes its food as seriously as Italy - when one of the best-known faces on daytime television accused the mafia of having taken control of their distribution and urged shoppers to stop buying them.
The moustachioed Alessandro di Pietro hosts "Occhio alla Spesa" (which translates as "keeping an eye on the shopping") - a price-watching programme popular with stay-at-home housewives that doesn't usually court controversy.
Shoppers, said Mr di Pietro, were being asked to fork out 11 times as much for Pachino tomatoes as growers were being paid.
The mafia, he alleged, was pocketing the difference.
His call for a boycott has outraged many Sicilians.
One, Italian Environment Minister Stefania Prestagiacomo, warned that the claims could destroy the livelihood of up to 5,000 farmers.
Italy's parliamentary anti-mafia commission, however, responded to the furore by announcing that it's to launch its own investigation into the claims. | Chelsea and Arsenal both scored in stoppage time to draw a dramatic Women's Super League One Spring Series derby 2-2, while leaders Liverpool beat Sunderland to move six points clear.

Summarize the information in the following document. | The Paris high court issued the order to the popular US micro-blogging site at the request of the French Jewish students' union (UEJF) and others.
Anti-Semitism groups hope to identify the users and have them prosecuted.
A spokesperson for Twitter told the BBC News website: "We are currently reviewing the court's decision."
In October, the site agreed to block the tweets circulating with the hash tag #unbonjuif (#agoodjew) in France, after the UEJF successfully argued that numerous messages had breached French law prohibiting incitement to racial hatred.
The hash tag continued to circulate on Thursday with offensive messages.
Twitter, its spokesperson pointed out, does not monitor content, but reviews reports of content that may be illegal or against its policies, as it comes in.
The court also ordered Twitter to "set up as part of the French platform" an "easily accessible and visible" system that would allow users to alert the site to illegal content which constituted "apology for crimes against humanity and incitement to racial hatred".
The initial court ruling in October came shortly after Twitter shut down an account used by a German neo-Nazi group based in Hanover, at the request of German police.
Twitter used a novel feature called "Country Withheld Content" which means that users in Germany should be unable to see messages posted by the account while they remain visible in other countries.
A French watchdog for anti-Semitic attacks, the SPCJ, recorded a sharp increase last year.
It estimated that crimes ranging from vandalism to murder in the first six months had increased by almost 50%, compared with the same period in 2011.
In March, Islamist gunman Mohamed Merah shot dead a rabbi and three small Jewish children at point-blank range outside a Jewish school in the south-western city of Toulouse.
Earlier this month, the UEJF reported that a new racist hash tag, #sijetaisnazi (#IfIwasaNazi), was trending.
Sacha Reingewirtz, vice-president of the UEJF, welcomed Thursday's court ruling.
"It is a major precedent and breakthrough in the attempt to balance privacy online with the need to combat hate speech," he told the Jewish news website JTA.
Nuno Wahnon Martins, director of European Affairs at Jewish human rights agency B'nai B'rith International, said: "Social networks were created as essentially democratic tools that are also being used by people who oppose democratic principles."
"Like any democracy, the social networks also need to defend themselves, and the first step is to deny those who spread hate speech in anonymity as something to hide behind," he told JTA.
A spate of racist and homophobic tweets followed the anti-Jewish messages, the BBC's Christian Fraser reports from Paris.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Paul Huntington gave Preston the lead when he headed in Paul Gallagher's free-kick at the near post.
Brighton improved after going behind, with Glenn Murray twice going close and Oliver Norwood firing just over.
But Callum Robinson fired in the hosts' second, while Tomer Hemed missed a late penalty for the Seagulls as they failed to turn pressure into goals.
Brighton are now one point behind Newcastle at the top of the table following the Magpies' 2-1 win at Brentford, but they have a game in hand.
The loss is just their second away from home this season, and their first defeat in 18 games in all competitions, a run which stretched back to their EFL Cup third-round defeat by Reading on 20 September.
Preston have never lost at home to Brighton in their history, with their latest victory the tenth in 16 meetings between the sides at Deepdale.
Simon Grayson's side have climbed to ninth in the table, just six points outside the play-off places.
Preston manager Simon Grayson:
"It was a complete victory, a very well-deserved win against a really strong team.
"It's looking like Brighton will end up in the top two this season - or even win the league - so for us to beat them so convincingly says a lot about this team.
"We looked strong throughout, but this result has been coming for quite a while now. We've been putting in some strong performances lately, but not really getting the results we've deserved."
Brighton manager Chris Hughton:
"I can't complain about the result. We were beaten by the better side on the day.
"The timing of the first goal was bad news for us. From that point on we're chasing the game.

Dylan Hartley will be captain after being left out of the Lions squad.
Flanker Sam Underhill, New Zealand-born cross-code convert Denny Solomona, and fly-half Piers Francis - who will join Northampton from Auckland Blues in the summer - are included.
There are also call-ups for Sale twins Ben and Tom Curry, 18, as well as Saracens forward Nick Isiekwe, 19.
London Irish wing Joe Cokanasiga and Harry Mallinder of Northampton are included too.
After missing out on selection for the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand, the likes of Joe Launchbury, James Haskell, Chris Robshaw, George Ford and Mike Brown all are included, but there is no place for Danny Cipriani, Christian Wade or Semesa Rokoduguni.
Harlequins player Jack Clifford and Sam Jones of Wasps are unavailable through injury.
"We are looking forward to going to Argentina and winning 2-0," said head coach Jones.
Australian Glen Ella, who coached England on tour last summer, will again join Jones' backroom team.
On the tour, England will face their hosts in San Juan on Saturday 10 June and in Santa Fe a week later.
At a news conference, Jones said he did not want to get involved in debate about the Lions squad.
"You miss out on a Lions tour and you get an England tour - it's not a bad second prize," said the Australian.
"If I can develop three or four of these guys to be better than the Lions guys, it will be a successful tour.
"It's going to be a tough tour, but my job is to improve the squad. It's a great opportunity where we can bring a bunch of young, enthusiastic and potentially good players into the squad at one time."
Forwards: Will Collier (Harlequins, uncapped), Luke Cowan-Dickie (Exeter Chiefs, 4 caps), Ben Curry (Sale Sharks, uncapped), Tom Curry (Sale Sharks, uncapped), Charlie Ewels (Bath Rugby, 3 caps), Ellis Genge (Leicester Tigers, 1 cap), Dylan Hartley - captain (Northampton Saints, 84 caps), James Haskell (Wasps, 75 caps), Paul Hill (Northampton Saints, 5 caps), Nathan Hughes (Wasps, 8 caps), Nick Isiekwe (Saracens, uncapped), Joe Launchbury (Wasps, 42 caps), Matt Mullan (Wasps, 15 caps), Chris Robshaw (Harlequins, 55 caps), Sam Underhill (Ospreys/Bath Rugby, uncapped), Harry Williams (Exeter Chiefs, uncapped), Tom Wood (Northampton Saints, 50 caps)
Backs: Mike Brown - vice-captain (Harlequins, 60 caps), Danny Care - vice captain (Harlequins, 71 caps), Joe Cokanasiga (London Irish, uncapped), Nathan Earle (Saracens, uncapped), George Ford - vice captain (Bath Rugby, 35 caps), Piers Francis (Auckland Blues/Northampton Saints, uncapped), Sam James (Sale Sharks, uncapped), Alex Lozowski (Saracens, uncapped), Harry Mallinder (Northampton Saints, uncapped), Joe Marchant (Harlequins, uncapped), Jack Maunder (Exeter Chiefs, uncapped), Jonny May (Gloucester Rugby, 25 caps), Henry Slade (Exeter Chiefs, 4 caps), Denny Solomona (Sale Sharks, uncapped)
BBC Radio 5 live rugby reporter Chris Jones:
Even though 16 men are away with the Lions, this is a startling squad from Eddie Jones, with almost half of the touring party uncapped.
There are four men who helped clinch the Under 20s Grand Slam, one who recently qualified in Denny Solomona, while Sam Underhill and Piers Francis will both tour before they have played for their Premiership clubs.
Jones will lean on a wealth of experience - with all the main Lions casualties on this trip - but the abundance of youth points to a healthy future for English rugby. | England head coach Eddie Jones has named 15 uncapped players in his 31-man squad to tour Argentina in June. |
Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Jail officials told the Virginia-Pilot newspaper that Jamycheal Mitchell, 24, was being held there because he could not be placed with a mental hospital.
Police are investigating, but family members told the Guardian newspaper that Mr Mitchell had stopped eating.
He had a history of mental illness and had taken medication in the past.
Police in Portsmouth, Virginia, arrested Mr Mitchell on 22 April for petty larceny. A store clerk at the 7-11 store told the Guardian that Mr Mitchell had stolen a bottle of soda, a candy bar and a small cake.
He was held in Portsmouth city jail and transferred to Hampton Roads Regional Jail on 11 May.
Portsmouth police spokeswoman Misty Holley told the BBC that Mr Mitchell was found unresponsive in his cell about 05:45 am local time (09:45 GMT) on 19 August and he was pronounced dead shortly after.
Mr Mitchell's past charges include petty theft, larceny and trespassing, stemming back to 2010, according to court records.
The Guardian, which first reported the case, spoke to Mr Mitchell's family who said "his body failed" and he lost up to 65lbs (29kg) in jail.
A medical examiner will determine Mr Mitchell's cause of death, Ms Holley said. She could not confirm reports that Mr Mitchell was starving himself or not taking medication.
"Once we get results of the autopsy, we will know if there is any foul play," she said. "That determines what routes we go."
A spokeswoman for the Hampton Roads Regional Jail declined to answer questions from the BBC on Friday, but the jail would release more information on Mr Mitchell's case on Monday.
The actor said he was "looking forward to portraying" Mr Singh in the film titled The Accidental Prime Minister.
Mr Singh was first appointed PM in 2004 after Congress party president Sonia Gandhi turned down the post, apparently to protect the party from damaging attacks over her Italian origin.
The film is based on a memoir written by Mr Singh's former aide Sanjay Baru.
The book takes a critical view of Mr Singh's first stint as PM between 2004 and 2008. The former prime minister has not made any statement on the film.

Speaking on a special debate on BBC One in the East Midlands, the Rushcliffe MP said leave campaigners were trying to scare voters about immigration.
Leicestershire MP Andrew Bridgen said wages in the UK were a huge draw for Eastern European migrants.
He added that if the UK voted to leave the EU, wages would increase for the lowest paid.
Conservative MP Mr Clarke said the UK needed EU migrants to fill jobs and that leaving the union would have no impact on people coming from "Syria or Afghanistan."
"We have to take some of those people. I think we're under a moral obligation to take some of them... but that's up to the British Government. You leave the EU and it makes no difference.
"The Leave people have no policy at all - they are just frightening you that there are lots of rapists and murderers and child molesters coming in unless we seal our borders. This is Donald Trump type nonsense."
But Mr Bridgen, Conservative MP for North West Leicestershire, said the "disparity in income" across Europe needed to be considered.
"We've brought in the national living wage. It's now £7.20 and will be £9 by 2020," he said. "That will be twice the minimum wage in Poland, three times the minimum wage of Romania and six times the minimum wage of Bulgaria."
"That's a huge draw factor for anyone to come to this country. As Stuart Rose said - who is nominally the leader of the remain campaign - that if we left the EU, wages of the poorest people in our country would rise."

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | They said satellite pictures showed no signs of a fire at a rubbish dump where their bodies were allegedly incinerated by a drug gang.
The images also showed rain when there was said to have been a fire.
The disappearance of the students led to months of large protests.
The new satellite evidence was presented to the Mexican Attorney General Arely Gomez.
At a news conference, an expert panel from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights said new lines of investigation should be opened up in other areas to find the remains of the 43 students.
They also called for military officers at a battalion stationed in the town of Iguala, where the students were studying at the Ayotzinapa teacher training school, to be questioned.
This would form part of a further investigation into the role of the state and armed forces in the students' disappearance.
The expert panel has highlighted other doubts about the authorities' version of events.
In a 500-page report released in September, they said there were discrepancies in the authorities' version of events.
The government says gang leaders they had questioned had told them that five gang members built and maintained a pyre for up to 16 hours.
The commission cited an independent study which had calculated that 30,000 kg of wood or 13,330 kg of rubber tyres would have been needed to burn for 60 hours to dispose of the bodies.
It said feeding the pyre would have been impossible and a conflagration of that size would have left obvious evidence at the site itself.
The commission also said arrested gang members they had questioned had told them they had been tortured to extract confessions.
The official government version of the case is that police abducted the 43 students in Iguala in Guerrero on 26 September 2014.
They had gone there to gather for a commemoration in Mexico City.
The police then handed them over to the local gang, Guerreros Unidos, who killed them, burnt their bodies and tossed their remains into a local river. | Independent investigators in Mexico say they have evidence that contradicts official versions of how 43 students disappeared last year in Guerrero state. |

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Gavin Reid, 28, was on board the Mission Performance yacht in January last year when the crew detected an SOS signal off the Australian coast.
He swam to the other yacht and helped rescue four crew members and save a fifth who had been tangled in lines at the top of the mast for nine hours.
He won the award over Giles Scott who won yachting gold at the Rio Olympics.
Mr Reid, 28, who went to school in Edinburgh and now lives in Cambridge, won the accolade from the Yachting Journalists' Association (YJA).
He was born profoundly deaf and had no sailing experience before taking part in the Clipper Round-the-World Yacht Race, a 40,000-nautical mile challenge.
The SOS signal was picked up off the New South Wales coast from a boat returning from the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
Mr Reid volunteered to swim to the yacht where he found four crew members incapacitated and unable to help their crewman.
He climbed up to the man, taking about two hours to untangle the lines, and helped lower him to safety
Picking up his trophy at a ceremony in central London, Mr Reid said he did not expect to win the award and thanked those who voted for him.
"A year ago I did not know the difference between a halyard, a sheet or a jib. I knew nothing about sailing," he said.
"To be here with so many amazing names and people who have achieved so much is quite daunting."
He added: "To have won such a prestigious award is beyond anything - I am delighted."
"I'm sure Giles Scott is thinking 'how did I not win it?' But it was a real honour to beat someone with such amazing credentials."
The vote was cast by more than 200 members of the YJA, with just two ballots between the top two nominees. The shortlist also included Round-the-Island Race record holder Brian Thompson.
The award has previously been won by Olympian Sir Ben Ainslie.
Mr Reid has won a number of other sailing awards for the rescue.
Clipper Race founder Sir Robin Knox-Johnston said Mr Reid "impressed tremendously" during his time competitively sailing around the world.
He said: "Mission Performance, who are fully trained with a safety-first mentality, upheld the tradition of the sea that you do not hesitate to go to the assistance of another sailor in distress, setting an excellent example of seamanship which is a crucial attribute for all good ocean-racing sailors.
"This is the pinnacle of British sailing awards and amongst the most prestigious accolades in the sailing world. I'm very proud of Gavin and the entire crew."
Officers executed warrants at 14 properties in Liverpool, Knowsley and Sefton and one in Greater Manchester. Searches continue at several addresses.
The police operation is in response to large groups of people who have been illegally riding the bikes.
It also follows the death of three people in off-road bike crashes.
Some of the bikes recovered are believed to have been stolen.
Ch Supt Jonathan Roy said: "We know that many people are plagued by the problem of off-road vehicles and actually find them incredibly intimidating.
"When they are ridden dangerously, they pose a huge risk, not only to the safety of the rider, but also to pedestrians and other law-abiding road users." | A deaf amateur sailor has been named Yachtsman of the Year for his part in a daring mid-ocean rescue.

Brett D'Oliveira completed his century (122) in the visitors' total of 367.
Wood's England team-mate Moeen Ali made 58 to earn Worcestershire a 170 lead.
In gloomy conditions in County Durham on the second day of an experiment with pink-ball day-night Championship matches, the floodlights were on right from the scheduled 14:00 BST start.
And only 43.4 overs were possible, as Worcestershire were bowled after a key stand of 73 between Ross Whiteley (43) and Ben Cox (32 not out), before the umpires called off play at 19:30 BST.
Prior to heading off on England one-day duty, Wood took only three wickets in two matches for Durham at a cost of 206 runs at the start of the season as he felt his way back from ankle surgery.
But, backed by Ryan Pringle's 4-73, he finished off the Worcestershire innings by knocking over Ed Barnard's off stump with his seventh delivery with the new ball, before forcing last man Josh Tongue to fend a catch to short leg.
Durham and England fast bowler Mark Wood told BBC Radio Newcastle:
"The pink ball held together well but it seemed to go soft quickly, so I think the jury is still out. Moeen Ali said he struggled to time it because it wasn't coming off the pitch.
"Getting wickets is a big confidence boost for me. My rhythm wasn't there in early season, but I'm fine now.
"Ben Stokes has been really unlucky over the last two days. A lot of the runs off him have gone to third man."
Worcestershire skipper Joe Leach told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"It was an outstanding innings by Brett D'Oliveira and all credit to the other batsmen for getting us in a strong position.
"We had the perfect situation with a lead of 170 and a new pink ball to bowl with under the lights, so it's a pity we didn't get back out there."

What is the summary of the document provided? | The 29-year-old midfielder, who helped Sevilla win three successive Europa League titles after joining them in 2013, has signed a four-year deal.
The Spanish side announced a deal had been agreed earlier this week.
Iborra played against Leicester in both legs of the Champions League tie last season when the Foxes knocked out the La Liga side in last 16.
He has made 172 appearances for Sevilla, scoring 30 goals, since joining them from Levante.
Spanish media have said the fee is in the region of 12 million euros (£10.5m).
"I'm starting to hit a certain age, trains pass and it was the moment to take it," Iborra told Sevilla's website.
"Destiny is fickle, but it's a project that I find very attractive."
The defensive midfielder has been allowed to leave after the club re-signed Ever Banega from Inter Milan.
"Iborra has shown exemplary behaviour in his time at the club and has won the unanimous respect and love of all Sevilla fans," Sevilla said in a statement.
"His achievements with the club are colossal but he will also be remembered for his leadership on and off the pitch, and for the dignity with which he wore the captain's armband."

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | The move comes just days after Kamara was suspended for an on-field spat with team-mate Frederico Higuain.
The 31-year-old had signed a contract extension with Columbus 10 weeks ago.
"It's a shock to me and my family. I have done nothing but good on and off the field for Columbus. But my journey continues and this time is for New England Revolution," Kamara said.
Columbus coach Gregg Berhalter said: "Our actions will always reflect the values of our club and we believe this transaction will improve our competitiveness this year and in future years."
Kamara was given a one-match ban by his club after he argued with Higuain and criticised him in press conference over who should take a penalty against Montreal Impact on Saturday.
Having already scored twice, Kamara wanted to take the spot-kick for the chance to complete his hat-trick but Higuain took the ball instead and scored to give his side a 4-1 lead.
Despite the lead Montreal came back to earn a 4-4 draw.
Kamra went on to publicly disagree with his ban and insisted he had no regrets over his actions and his comments.
Berhalter said it had not been an easy decision to make.
"Kei had a memorable 2015 season and we recognise and understand how popular and productive he was, so this decision was not one we made lightly," he said.
He recorded 22 regular-season goals in MLS last year finishing joint-top scorer with the Giovinco but lost out the golden boot to the Italian who provided more assists.
He was top scorer in the play-offs, hitting four goals to take his season's tally to 26.
Among his honours in 2015 were Columbus Crew's player of the season award and being named in the MLS best XI.
The Revolution will be his fifth MLS club after Columbus Crew, San Jose Earthquakes, Sporting Kansas City and Houston Dynamo.

Parts of Houston - the US's fourth biggest city - remain under water.
Thousands of cars have been abandoned on city streets and highways.
Hundreds of residents have been displaced and more than 1,000 homes have been destroyed.
At least 17 people have been killed and dozens injured following record rainfall over the weekend.
More heavy rains are expected over the next few days.
Part of its remit will be to deliver on the Conservatives' promise to reduce net migration to "tens of thousands".
In all, 10 taskforces are being created which will be chaired by ministers and track policy implementation progress.
The move echoes Tony Blair's No 10 "Delivery Unit", which was abolished by the coalition government in 2010.
The immigration taskforce's remit includes reducing net migration to the UK from hundreds of thousands to the tens of thousands - a pledge that was not met in the last Parliament.
In May, the prime minister vowed that he would not give up on his aim, despite net migration rising by 50% to 318,000 last year - its highest level for a decade.
The group's terms of reference also include controlling migration from the European Union, by reforming welfare rules and "reducing reliance on migrant labour", among other measures.
These are central to Mr Cameron's renegotiation with European leaders ahead of the planned in/out referendum on the EU, which is to be held by 2017.
Membership of the taskforce includes senior cabinet members, among them Home Secretary Theresa May and Chancellor George Osborne.
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Oliver Letwin, the government's policy tsar, will also be a member. He will also chair the cabinet committee on home affairs.
Taskforces have also been set up to oversee progress in the following areas: troubled families, exports, digital infrastructure, health and social care, "earn or learn" and foreign fighters returning to the UK from Syria and Iraq.
In addition, the PM will also take the lead on the cabinet committee on Europe, which is aimed specifically at considering issues related to the EU referendum.
Membership includes senior ministers Mr Osborne, Mrs May and Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond.
A separate cabinet committee chaired by Mr Hammond will consider other issues related to the EU.
In all, there will be 14 committees, including the national security committee and its sub committees - all of which will be steered by Mr Cameron.

Sixty-four percent of those who agreed were Protestant and 77% were Catholic.
However, 32% said the current system of power sharing at Stormont was not working well.
Twice as many Protestants as Catholics held that view.

FirstGroup has been shortlisted, alongside a joint bid from Eurostar and French firm Keolis, and another from Virgin and Stagecoach.
The franchise, which covers the route between London and Edinburgh, has been publicly run since 2009.
It is due to return to private hands in early 2015.
By Richard WestcottBBC transport correspondent
There's an irony in this list of bidders.
The government's moved the East Coast franchise to the front of the queue for privatisation because it wants the service out of public hands before the next election.
The unions are furious, claiming ministers are hell bent on off-loading the line despite the fact that it's made £640m for the government since 2009. That's more money in real terms than anyone else who's run the line.
But one of the bidders is Eurostar (with Keolis), and 40% of Eurostar is owned by a subsidiary of London & Continental Railways. And London & Continental Railways is owned by, erm, the government.
So if Eurostar and its partner win the bid, a bit of the franchise will still be, effectively, in public hands.
Now, the government has said it's selling off its bit of Eurostar, but that might not happen until 2020. Until then, they'd be a minority partner in the business.
"Giving passengers more will be at the heart of the new East Coast franchise," said rail minister Stephen Hammond.
"For our railways to continue to grow we need strong private sector partners who can invest and innovate in ways that deliver a world class service."
The government was forced to take control of the franchise after the previous operator, National Express, ran into financial difficulties.
The government says it always intended to return the route to the private sector, but transport unions have called for the franchise to remain in public ownership.
The TSSA rail union says the line has been a "success story" under public ownership.
"This is nothing short of economic vandalism by a chancellor who does not want voters to know the truth about the East Coast line - it is a public sector success story," said Manuel Cortes, the TSSA's general secretary.
"It has been the cheapest franchise to run for the past five years and it has produced the greatest return to taxpayers - over £600m."
Of the named bidders, First Group, Stagecoach and Virgin already operate UK rail routes directly.
Eurostar operates services through the channel tunnel and Keolis has a stake in Govia, which operates Southern and South Eastern.
The government says it will give the three groups a formal "invitation to tender" in February, after which they will be given at least three months to submit their bids. | Most people in a survey marking 15 years since the Good Friday Agreement referendum said they believe Northern Ireland is now a better place to live.

Passengers waited an average of nearly 29 extra minutes to travel back to the UK from Rome Fiumicino Airport.
Venice, Nice and Barcelona were next on the list of longest UK-inbound delays among the 50 airports with the most flights on these routes.
The data comes from figures collected by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
The analysis, by the BBC's data journalism team, is based on the last two years of CAA data for all flights from or to UK airports during June to August.
Earlier analysis showed that, on flights leaving the UK, holidaymakers heading from Gatwick Airport and on Easyjet flights suffered the longest delays.
Flight calculator: At the top of the page you can enter your UK departure city, and your destination, to find average delays for the airlines serving this route in the last two summers.
Now, data on the routes used by UK residents returning home, show that six of the 50 airports with the most flights back to the UK had typical delays of more than 25 minutes.
This even included internal flights from Gatwick.
If the less frequently flown routes are included in the data, then flights to UK airports from Kingston, Jamaica, had the longest average delay of nearly 53 minutes.
Six airports on this list recorded average delays of more than 45 minutes in the last two summers.
On specific routes, travellers flying from Keflavik Airport in Iceland to Glasgow saw the longest average delay of 55 minutes, followed by Malaga in Spain to Heathrow (54 minutes) and Kingston, Jamaica, to Gatwick (53 minutes).
Among the 50 busiest airports for flights to the UK, the worst delays were from Barcelona to Gatwick (31 minutes), followed by Chicago O'Hare Airport to Heathrow (30 minutes) and Palma de Mallorca Airport to Gatwick (30 minutes).

All data used on this page is compiled and made available by the Civil Aviation Authority, which publishes aggregated statistics on punctuality for all flights taking off or landing at major UK airports.
The BBC has combined the CAA's data for June, July and August of 2015 and 2016 and used this to calculate the average (i.e. mean) delay per flight across these months for all routes listed in the data.
Routes with fewer than 50 flights over this period were excluded, as were airlines that registered no flight data for the summer months of 2016 (even if they had been active in 2015). Chartered flights were not distinguished from scheduled flights in the calculations for airlines that fly both categories on the same route.
The data for outbound delays is based on the time the aeroplane takes off from the UK runway, and the data for return delays is based on the time the aeroplane arrives back on the UK runway.
Flights that take off or land early are recorded as having a delay of zero minutes.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | A team at Duke University used a system known as CRISPR-Cas9 to delete DNA that was preventing cells from producing a protein essential for muscle function.
And a virus was used to deliver DNA alterations into the cells of mice.
Writing in the journal Science, the team say when they injected the therapy direct into the legs of adult mice, it resulted in improved muscle strength.
When they injected it into the bloodstream - tests showed improvements in muscles responsible for heart and lung function.
Chris Nelson, who led the research, said: "A major hurdle for gene editing is delivery.
"We know what genes need to be fixed for certain diseases, but getting the gene editing tools where they need to go is a huge challenge.
"The best way we have to do it right now is to take advantage of viruses, because they have spent billions of years evolving to figure out how to get their own viral genes into cells."
CRISPR-Cas9 is a simple, fast and inexpensive gene editing system discovered three years ago, which is now being used by laboratories all over the world.
It combines sections of synthetic DNA - CRISPRs - with a protein known as Cas9.
Rather like a sat nav, Crispr scans the genome looking for the right location and then uses the Cas9 protein as molecular scissors to snip through the DNA.
DMD is a genetic disease that gradually causes weakness and loss of muscle function.
Humans with the condition lack normal dystrophin, a protein found in muscles, which helps to protect muscles from injury.
In patients with the disease, the muscles become damaged and eventually stop working.
The inherited disease usually affects only boys - about a 100 babies a year in the UK are affected. Few of those affected live beyond their early 30s.
Although this research was in mice, it has raised hopes of a treatment for humans at some point in the future.
Prof Peter Braude, emeritus professor of obstetrics and gynaecology from King's College London, said: "This is an exciting paper demonstrating in laboratory mice the feasibility of a non-controversial use of the new CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology to treat a serious and slowly lethal genetic disease."
Prof Adrian Thrasher, from the Institute of Child Health and Great Ormond Street Hospital, described it as an "important study demonstrating proof of principle of gene editing in vivo for neuromuscular disease, but still some way to go before translatable to human subjects."
In a second study, also in Science, a team at Harvard University used CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing in egg and sperm cells of mice carrying DMD.
Eighty per cent of baby mice born following germline modification showed successful DNA editing.
Germline alterations - changes to the DNA that are passed down the generations - is a more controversial use of gene editing.
It raises ethical issues, as the technology could in theory be used to produce "designer" humans, with embryos being tweaked to enhance their physical or mental abilities.
Others argue it could be a vital tool for curing serious genetic conditions like DMD, Huntington's Disease or Cystic Fibrosis.
The team at Harvard also used gene editing to treat DMD-affected mice a few days after birth via injections into the abdomen, muscles or the back of the eye, with each method improving muscle function. | Researchers in the US have used gene editing to treat mice with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. |

"While the Tigers' record on the road is awful, they can draw hope from the fact Southampton haven't exactly been on fire at St Mary's of late.
"That said, the Saints display at Chelsea in midweek certainly dispelled any suggestion they might already be on the beach.
"But Marco Silva's men are likely to be just that bit more fired up than the home side, given how strong a position victory would put them in, with all-but-doomed Sunderland the visitors to their KCOM Stadium fortress next week."

Southampton manager Claude Puel: "It's important to take points because we want to finish in the first half of the table.
"Hull City will be a difficult game, we know, it's important to have this good concentration in this game.
"I think it will be just as difficult as the last games against Chelsea and Manchester City. Perhaps it will be more difficult."
Hull head coach Marco Silva on away form: "We need to change, of course we need to change.
"We analysed the last game like normal, and I think it's clear to me and I hope it's clear for our players what we need to do differently.
"We need to keep focus always and play with the same confidence we do at home. We need to keep focus, we conceded goals away on the counter-attack."
As good as Hull have been at home since Marco Silva took charge in January, they still cannot win away.
The Tigers have drawn one and lost eight out of nine matches on the road in all competitions in that time, and I don't see them improving on that record here.

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | It took residents in Brixham, Devon, 10 years to raise the £76,000 needed.
Artist Elizabeth Hadley was commissioned to create the bronze life-size Man and Boy statue.
Eighty-three British commercial fishermen died in the past decade at sea, according to the Marine Accident Investigation Branch.
Brixham is one of the largest fishing ports in the UK.
The names of fishermen both past and present will also be commemorated on plaques near the new statue.
Victoria Bowen, who helped fundraise said: "It's a high-risk industry and it's important people remember what these guys face when they are bringing home what they call 'the silvery harvest'."
Barry Young from Brixham Trawler Agents said: "It's a big effort from a long campaign which has been going on for 10 years"
The woman was attacked at about 01:15 on Saturday 26 September as she was walking in Holm Street near Wellington Street.
The man on CCTV was described as being white, aged 25-30, of slim build with short, dark hair.
He was wearing a dark hooded top, blue jeans and white trainers.
An 18th Century jade bowl and a Dehua porcelain figurine were stolen during the raid at Durham University's Oriental Museum in April.
Lee Wildman, 35, and Adrian Stanton, 32, both from Walsall, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to burgle.
The pair are due to be sentenced for their part in the raid at Durham Crown Court later.
Judge Christopher Prince said the plan was not "sophisticated" and had been reduced to a "complete farce".
The court heard how the ornaments were hidden on waste land in the Browney Lane area of Durham after the break-in, "possibly in a panic", and could later not be found.
A witness spotted Wildman two days later searching the waste land, speaking on his phone and "seeming agitated", the court heard.
Judge Prince said: "This is not an offence that can be described as sophisticated.
"Although this burglary was carried out according to a prepared plan, there were elements towards the end of it that reduced the plan to complete farce."
In court, the pair admitted only a small part in the plan, claiming they were recruited to try to steal the ornaments while the museum was open, then later providing a car for an unnamed gang.
The bowl and figurine were later found on the waste land by a member of the public.
The judge said: "Lawyers with many years experience have not seen a case where thieves have hidden property where they just could not find it afterwards, let alone property of this cultural importance and enormous value."
Both men will be sentenced later along with four others charged in connection with the raid.

Summarize the information in the following section. | Giulio Regeni, 28, disappeared on the evening of 25 January, after leaving his home to meet a friend.
His body was found beside a road in Cairo's western outskirts on Wednesday.
Senior prosecutor Ahmad Nagi said the cause of death had yet to be determined but Mr Regeni's body had bruises, knife wounds and cigarette burns.
He said the injuries covered "all of his body, including his face". Mr Regeni was found naked from the waist down and appeared to have suffered a "slow death", Mr Nagi added.
Earlier, another Egyptian official had suggested that Mr Regeni, a PhD student at Cambridge University in Cairo to conduct research, may have died in a road accident.
The Italian foreign ministry in Rome summoned the Egyptian ambassador to express its concern on Thursday morning.
A statement said the ministry expected "maximum collaboration", adding that the ambassador "assured us Egypt will co-operate fully in finding those responsible".
Mr Regeni, a PhD student at the department of politics and international studies at the University of Cambridge, was a visiting scholar at the American University in Cairo (AUC).
He is reported to have been carrying out research on trade unions and labour rights in Egypt - a sensitive topic in recent years.
"It has become increasingly difficult and dangerous to conduct research," said Amy Austin Holmes, head of the sociology department at the AUC. She said she knew of researchers who had been denied entry to Egypt or arrested.
Friends said Mr Regeni left his flat at 20:00 local time on 25 January, planning to take the metro to central Cairo to meet a friend.
"Bewilderment" is the word used by the Italian foreign ministry to sum up its furious reaction to the conflicting versions of the circumstances of Giulio Regeni's death.
Initial reports from Egypt said his body showed signs of torture. These were then contradicted by claims that the 28-year-old might have been the victim of a traffic accident. But a prosecutor now says Mr Regeni suffered stab wounds and cigarette burns, pointing to a "slow death".
These contradictions are making headlines in the Italian media and were enough for the government to issue a harsh statement which said it had summoned the Egyptian ambassador - and urged Cairo to "immediately" launch a joint investigation to ascertain what happened to Mr Regeni.
There was a heavy police presence in the capital that day because it was the fifth anniversary of the start of the uprising against former President Hosni Mubarak.
Several activists were arrested, while others went into hiding.
The area where Mr Regeni was going to meet his friend was near Tahrir Square, the symbolic centre of the 2011 uprising.
Cambridge University said: "We are deeply saddened to hear news of the death of Giulio Regeni. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
"The vice-chancellor and the Mistress of Girton College [where Mr Regeni was studying] have been in contact with Giulio's family." | The body of an Italian student who disappeared last week in Cairo has been found and shows clear signs of torture, a senior Egyptian prosecutor has said. |

Summarize the following content briefly. | Prosecutors accuse Juan de Dios Usuga and his brother Dairo Antonio of jointly leading the Urabenos gang, which controls much of the drug-trafficking in the north of Colombia.
Police say Juan de Dios Usuga, 44, was shot dead as officers tried to arrest him at his ranch in Choco province.
A police officer was killed in the 30-minute firefight.
The security forces continue to search for Dairo Antonio Usuga.
'Inside information'
Police said an informant told them Juan de Dios Usuga would be celebrating New Year's Eve at his ranch in Casa Verde, in north-western Choco province.
They deployed a special operations team to the area, which moved in on the ranch in the early hours of Sunday morning, local time.
The security forces said Mr Usuga and his bodyguards opened fire and shot a policeman as he was jumping off the helicopter.
They said Mr Usuga was killed in the exchange of fire which followed. Three suspected gang members were injured and arrested.
Ten warrants had been issued for Mr Usuga's arrest for alleged crimes including murder, forced disappearance and forced displacement.
Prosecutors say the two Usuga brothers control a 500-strong criminal gang named Los Urabenos after the area in northern Colombia where they have their roots.
Dairo Antonio is believed to have been at the ranch as well, but managed to escape from the police.
Los Urabenos is one of the groups the Colombian government calls Bacrim, short for bandas criminales (criminal gangs).
President Juan Manuel Santos says the gangs pose a grave danger to the security of Colombia and has made the fight against the Bacrim one of his government's priorities. | Officials in Colombia say the alleged leader of a powerful criminal gang has been killed in a police operation. |

CIC was set up in 2007 to invest some of China's foreign exchange reserves.
Despite concerns in other countries about Chinese access to key assets, the UK has been developing closer business ties with China.
"It is fair to say that the UK has a more open relationship with China than many other major economies," said Stephen Joske, senior manager at AustralianSuper, a pension fund based in Beijing.
"There is certainly push all around the world for scrutiny of Chinese investment - it has been ringing alarm bells.
"It is unfair to an extent, as these deals are a win-win transaction. Politics has been overshadowing economics."
This is CIC's second major investment in UK infrastructure. In January, it bought 8.68% of the firm behind UK utility group Thames Water.
The latest airports deal will see the fund pay £450m ($726m) for a 10% stake in Heathrow Airport Holdings Ltd, which was previously known as BAA Ltd.
Under the terms of the agreement it will buy a 5.7% stake in FGP Topco Ltd from Spanish firm Ferrovial for £257.4m. FGP Topco is the holding company which owns Heathrow Airport Holdings Ltd.
CIC will get the remaining 4.3% stake from other shareholders of FGP Topco Ltd at a cost of £192.6m.
The Chinese investment company is not the first foreign firm to buy a stake in the Heathrow holding firm.
In August, Qatar Holdings bought a 20% stake, and this deal is currently awaiting approval from European competition regulators.

Summarize the passage below. | Emails indicate that suppliers are selling a form of mechanically recovered residue under different names so that it can be legally termed meat in Britain.
One of the UK's biggest sausage suppliers admitted that some of this meat is in their products but where used it is always declared.
Another manufacturer told the BBC he believes the product is being widely used in Britain.
In April 2012 the European Union told the British government that a type of mechanically separated meat (MSM) used across the UK could no longer count towards the meat content of a product.
Called desinewed meat (DSM), it had been introduced into the UK in the 1990s and supporters argued that it was a higher form of recovered meat, retrieved from animal bones using low pressure water. Visually it is said to be similar to a fine mince, and closer to meat than the more liquid MSM "slurry".
The EU said DSM could still be used in UK meat products but could not be considered part of the meat content. This ban should also apply to desinewed meat across every member state.
But the BBC has learned that across Europe many suppliers continue to produce desinewed meat using different names including "Baader meat" and "3mm mince".
Baader meat is made using a machine from the Baader company in Germany and according to a spokesman, the device removes the membrane and the sinew and in the end "it is meat!"
Suppliers that use the Baader system in Germany, the Netherlands, France and Spain all stated they believed their desinewed products are outside the EU ban and can count towards the meat content of sausages and other foods.
In e-mails seen by the BBC, some of these companies say they are very keen to supply it to the UK.
"My information is that you only have to declare MSM, and Baader no," said one German based supplier.
"I know it is very strange but I didn't invent these laws," he writes.
A supplier of chicken meat made a similar point in another email: "Declarable MSM is derived from chickens with all the meat and skin in its original format and minced via the Baader machine, all the bones are separated mechanically. This format can be declared as meat in the ingredients."
Mark Fiddy is the managing director of Poultex, a UK based international meat and poultry trading firm. I asked him if his company sold Baader meat in the UK.
"Well we supply that product, I can't say who we supply it to or what they do with it, but we supply that product," he said.
I asked him if that Baader meat can count towards the actual meat content of a sausage in the UK.
He replied: "Well we buy and sell it, we're not responsible for the end labelling and what goes on meat contents and things like that."
Freshlink Foods is the largest private label frozen sausage supplier in the UK retail market. When contacted by BBC News they admitted that they did use Baader meat.
"Some Baader meat is used in our own branded product that goes into the foodservice market. Where used, this is clearly declared," they said in a statement.
Freshlink is a subsidiary of ABP Food Group, the company that owns Silvercrest Foods where the first products with equine DNA were discovered in January.
Other people close to the food processing industry in the UK suggest that the use of Baader meat is widespread.
Kevin McWhinney is a sausage maker in Northern Ireland who has been campaigning against the use of these types of meat residues for years.
"The UK should not be using this Baader meat but as far as I am aware it is coming into the country and is being used," he said.
This perspective is supported by Matt Starling, a lawyer with the firm Geldards who specialises in regulatory issues.
"We know that there are significant (EU) exports of Baader meat, and it is fair to assume, and that's the government's view, that it is being used to replace DSM," he told BBC News.
"And that view of the government was strongly made by the minister last year and is shared, as I understand, by the FSA."
He said there was a legal inconsistency between the UK and the EU because the Commission hadn't specifically banned the Baader meat process.
"The matter hasn't been tested, but as things stand there appears to be no clear legal redress if a company does export Baader and it is used to replace the products that we were producing ourselves until they were banned last year."
When contacted by the BBC, a spokesman for the EU said that as far as the Union is concerned Baader meat is MSM.
Sausage maker Kevin McWhinney's family have been in the business for five generations - he agrees wholeheartedly with the position taken by the EU. Whether the process is called Baader meat or DSM or 3mm mince, to him it was all the same.
"The powers that be would have you think its different because it uses a low pressure - but it is the same bones, same scraps off the bones, the same machines, just with different pressure. Someone's just trying to invent a new product," he said.
Many people connected to the meat industry in Britain say the EU has "used a sledgehammer" against the UK on this issue, while letting other European countries effectively get away with continuing to sell similar products without restrictions.
Dr Duncan Campbell is one of Britain's most senior food inspectors and head of West Yorkshire Analytical Services.
"What is clear is that there is a lack of uniformity of enforcement of EU regulation - and that is the loophole that is allowing material to be counted as meat in another European member state - the same product would not be considered meat in the UK," he said.
But there is also the sense that the intense downward pressure on prices driven by supermarkets is pushing manufacturers to find the cheapest ingredients.
One EU based meat supplier pointed out that a half kilo of sausages was selling in one supermarket for less than a euro.
It was impossible, he said, to produce meat at that price without cutting corners.
Bottled water is more expensive than this, he added.

Write a concise summary for the following article. | Ellinor Grimmark argued that her Christian beliefs made it impossible for her to carry out abortions and that it was unfair to be turned down for jobs in Joenkoeping because of that.
But the labour court ruled that she had not suffered discrimination. It said the authorities had not violated her "freedom of opinion and expression".
US Christians have backed Ms Grimmark.
The US Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is a partner of her legal team - Scandinavian Human Rights Lawyers.
The labour court ruling on Wednesday defended Joenkoeping region's right to require midwives to carry out abortions.
In 2015 a district court rejected Ms Grimmark's discrimination complaint. But she then decided to sue the regional health authority.
In the long-running case Sweden's discrimination ombudsman also ruled against her.
Ms Grimmark says she will take her case to the European Court of Human Rights. It cannot overrule Sweden's courts, but if it finds a violation it can order a compensation payment.
The Svenska Dagbladet daily says she now has a legal bill of about 1.5m kronor (£136,000; $170,000).
Sweden's Health Professionals - an association of midwives and other medics - welcomed the court decision. Its vice-president Ann Johansson said "people seeking care should not have to think about your own opinions".
According to UN data, Sweden has one of the highest abortion rates in Europe - it was 20.8 per 1,000 women in 2011. The UK figure in 2012 was 16.6, and among the other figures for 2012 were: Norway (15.5), Russia (34.2), Estonia (23.7 - the highest rate in the EU) and Bulgaria (21.5).
Among the lowest in Europe in 2012 were Italy (9.4) and Portugal (9).
Managers said they could "no longer justify spending £40,000 per year to support staff car parking".
The changes would further prioritise clinical services funding, it sad.
But Stuart Roden, from Unison, said some staff had described the measure as a "kick in the teeth".
"For some of our members they're going to have a 1000% increase in the charges they have to pay.
"Many are low paid or part-time. This is not going to help morale."
Mr Roden said the "blanket increase" meant staff on low wages would be paying the same to park as those on higher salaries.
Listeners opposed to the rises posted comments on BBC Radio Cornwall's Facebook page comments as "shocking", "disgusting" and "unbelievable".
But Lezli Boswell, chief executive at the RCHT, said: "We have kept the costs below those of other NHS Trusts in the region and fixed the parking charges on our site for three years but recognise that any increase will not be popular.
"The main reason for the increase is that the trust has decided to stop the subsidy we provide to staff for car parking and Cornwall Council has decided to remove the concessionary priced Park & Ride permits available to hospital staff."
From 1 October, the annual Park and Ride permits will cost £240 - with no subsidy provided.

He has quit his job in the wake of his outspoken remarks linking those in gay relationships with child abuse.
It was a post that Mr Wells had coveted for many years.
His appointment to the job had come somewhat later than originally planned, as it is understood that the DUP was concerned about how Mr Wells, who was extremely outspoken on all of these issues, would deal with them as health minister.
In his first interview as the minister, I asked whether or not he would abandon his religious principles when making policy on issues like abortion and alcohol.
He asked for the interview to be stopped.
But after a brief stand-off and encouragement from his DUP aide and the health department's press officer, he agreed to continue and said he would not abandon his religious beliefs.
He spent his first day in the post blocking his critics on Twitter.
A short time in the post, Mr Wells managed to strike off a number of significant issues on his to-do list.
Perhaps his biggest achievement was ensuring an all-Ireland children's heart service will be up and running next month in Dublin.
Someone who made no secret of his views on smoking and drinking alcohol, he perhaps would say on a personal basis that his biggest achievement was introducing plain cigarette packaging and proposals for minimum pricing for alcohol.
Last month he announced that the meningitis B vaccine will be introduced in a child's routine vaccine programme, and that all hospitals will become smoke-free zones.
While not finalised, Mr Wells began the big conversation of reintroducing prescription charges in order to fund specialist drugs, especially for cancer.
A man who wore his heart on his sleeve, Mr Wells was always clear about his pro-life, anti-abortion views and also his feelings on gay rights.

Race stewards said his actions ran "contrary to the image of the FIA".
Coronel later set up a crowdfunding page and claimed the fine was "too much for me as privateer".
He added that any money raised above the amount of the fine would go to the circuit marshals at the Nurburgring.
Driving while using a hand-held phone is banned in most countries in Europe - including Coronel's home country of the Netherlands - and promoting road safety is one of the primary objectives of the FIA Foundation.
Coronel's actions on the track and his decision to ask his fans for money met with a mixed response on social media.
One user, Andy DelGiudice, wrote: "He's asking fans to crowdfund his payment? Yikes."
Andreas, wrote: "I may be wrong but a professional driver should be a good example for people on public roads, thats a nogo what you did, sorry."
Twitter user @gknic suggested: "Using a phone whilst driving, whether on a track or on the road is stupidity at its best! So no sympathy from me."
And Mark Palmer on Facebook wrote: "Hang on, FIA is always promoting safety comes from racing, rightly so. So they're supposed to let it go? It's using a phone while driving exactly what's the current hot potato."
But there were plenty of messages in support of Coronel, with one by @JoeMafia86 stating his actions were "a great way to interact with the fans... FIA are clearly not with the times".
Facebook user Mark Arlidge added: "Oh Tom... that's really stupid of them... private road surely they cant make that stick.".

The touching and beautifully-shot drama about growing up gay and black in Miami is seen as an outside bet to upset the La La Land bandwagon at the Oscars.
It confirmed its status as the awards circuit's second favourite film with six Independent Spirit Awards.
La La Land wasn't eligible for the awards, which reward low-budget films.
Moonlight was made for $1.5m (£1.2m) over 25 days - but has now recouped $21.5m (£17.3m) at the North American box office. It also has eight Oscar nominations, compared with La La Land's 14.
In his acceptance speech, Casey Affleck, who won best male lead, gave a taste of the political tone that is likely to dominate the Oscars.
He told the ceremony: "The policies of this administration are abhorrent and they will not last. They're really un-American.
"I know this feels preachy and boring and I'm preaching to the choir but I'm just lending my little voice to the chorus here."
British actress Naomie Harris, who appears in Moonlight, said the current political climate is "definitely going to be reflected" at the Oscars.
"Really great art reflects society," she told BBC News. "It also edifies us. It shows us a different way of operating. So I definitely think it's going to be a very political year this year at the Oscars."
She also said Moonlight has struck a chord because it has fed "our universal yearning for connection".
She said: "We're all yearning to connect, and I think in a society where we have so much technology that makes us feel as though we're connected, but it's not really about true connection. It's not heartfelt connection.
"And that's what we're all longing for, and I think that, in Moonlight, is what's demonstrated."
The Independent Spirits ceremony is the traditional precursor to the Oscars and is one of the awards season's more informal events. It honours films made for less than $20m (£16m).

The names of the victims have been confirmed by Russian authorities, and details of their lives have been coming out in local media.
A candle-lit memorial has been laid out in Moscow's Alexander Garden, with flowers and photos of the victims.
Doll-maker and arts teacher Irina Medyantseva died after trying to shield her daughter from the explosion, according to relatives.
Her daughter Yelena, 29, was treated for her injuries in hospital and her condition is said to be stable.
"Due to that heinous terror attack against innocent people, my beloved wife died and my daughter was injured. It's a horrible tragedy," Mrs Medyantseva's husband, Aleksandr Kaminsky, told news site Russia Today.
A psychology student from Azerbaijan, Dilbara Alieva was taken to hospital but later died from her injuries.
"She was always bright. She was fascinated by what motivated people and was so good at figuring them out. She was writing her dissertation on motivation and sport," her teacher, Irina Berezovskaya, told the Washington Post.
Maxim Aryshev, from Kazakhstan, was an IT student at St Petersburg State University of Economics, and had ambitions to become a programmer.
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, he was wrongly named as the bomber on social media.
One of his classmates told Russian media, "He was cheerful, sociable, loved to joke around, be sarcastic. He was the life of the party and had many friends."
Mansur Sagadeev had recently celebrated his 17th birthday and was studying at the St Petersburg College of Communications.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | The problems meant some callers were unable to get through via the 101 and 111 numbers.
Police Scotland and NHS 24 had advised those seeking non-emergency assistance to contact them on alternative numbers.
Similar problems were also experienced in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Vodafone, which operates police and NHS services, said both the 101 and 111 numbers were "restored" by 13:00.
The company apologised and said it would carry out a "full investigation".
The new freephone 111 number for NHS 24 was launched in Scotland in April.
At the time, ministers said the change made the number easy to remember, while the introduction of the free-to-call service removed any barrier to the public accessing the health advice out of hours.

Pre-ordered devices will come bundled with video games Lucky's Tale and Eve: Valkyrie, free of charge.
The launch coincides with the CES tech show in Las Vegas, where the headset will be on display.
Industry watchers are keen to learn the cost of the device, which is not expected to be aimed at casual users.
In May, Oculus boss Brendan Iribe said a Rift and a PC capable of powering it should cost $1,500 (£1,000) in total. The firm has said the finished consumer-ready headset should be in the "same ballpark" as the $350 cost of its earlier prototypes.
Before now Oculus has only released prototypes of its headset, which promises users "immersive" video gaming experiences.
Facebook, which bought Oculus for $2bn in 2014, said it planned to expand the use of its technologies, to include "communications, media and entertainment, education and other areas".
It said the firm's founder, Palmer Luckey, would be answering questions about the Rift on a Reddit Q&A session on Wednesday at 18:00 PCT (02:00 GMT).
The firm hinted it would provide more updates this week, adding "We can't wait to share what's coming next!"
It follows news that a motion controller for the Rift, called Touch, would be delayed until the second quarter of 2016.

Ten years on from the death of a man at Michael Barrymore's home, police have renewed their appeal for information. |
Please summarize the given passage. | Researchers from the University of Amsterdam have created an online game in an attempt to shed light on why some tunes get stuck in your head.
Fans must identify song clips and compare them by their catchiness.
The researchers hope the findings will help the understanding of long-term memory and the treatment for dementia.
Dr Ashley Burgoyne of the University of Amsterdam said: "We do know that music has a very powerful effect on memory, more powerful than many other memory triggers. But the reasons for it aren't completely understood.
"Why is it that there are certain pieces of music that you hear just a couple of times and 10 years later you hear it again, and you may have forgotten the title and the artist, but the music comes back to your immediately?"
Dr Burgoyne said he hoped 10,000 people would play the game, Hooked On Music. The findings from the game would be "one piece of a larger puzzle", he said.
"There's been some very nice research showing that, if you can bring the favourite music of people who are suffering from dementia, it can really re-enliven them. These memories don't seem to fade.
"So if we can have a better understanding of how that process works and identify the features of music that seem to lock [it] into long-term memory, then you can perhaps use that to make better clinical decisions about what music is going to be the most therapeutic."
The game was created and launched with the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester.
The museum's Dr Marieke Navin said: "The idea is that people could be contributing to scientific research. We tried to make it a fun thing that people might want to play irrespective of the science behind it."
She was pronounced dead at University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire after a blaze at about 21:15 GMT on Thursday in Sydnall Road, Longford.
Firefighters were called to a fire in a first-floor bedroom of the end-of-terrace house.
Crews from Foleshill and Coventry fire stations attended. The cause was under investigation, a spokesman for West Midlands Fire Service said.
The fire was brought under control by 23:25 GMT.
A window at the office, on Butcher Street in the town, was smashed at about 23:45 BST on Wednesday.
The police said a man was detained on Thursday and subsequently released on bail pending further inquiries.
Daniel McCrossan, who is the party's West Tyrone candidate in the general election, described the attack as cowardly and anti-democratic.
"We have seen our campaign materials defaced before and this latest and much more violent attack is indicative of the contempt with which these criminals hold the democratic process," he said.
Mr McCrossan said he heard loud smashing noises on Wednesday night while on the campaign trail.
"I assumed it must have been someone making a trip to the bottle bank but I was disgusted when I learned that it was our office which had been targeted," he said.
"Their attacks have failed to intimidate us and the SDLP will continue to work in the true interest of the people of Northern Ireland and speak out against hypocrisy and social injustice."

Write a summary of this document. | It is a decade since the band broke through, coming top of the BBC Sound of 2004 list. They went to number one in the UK with their first five albums, a record only bettered by The Beatles.
They are now looking back on their careers after releasing their greatest hits and seeing their early single Somewhere Only We Know back in the charts after being covered by Lily Allen.
Below, singer Tom Chaplin and drummer Richard Hughes pick out some pivotal moments from the band's past. As the band prepare to take "time out", pianist and songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley does not join them for the interview. This feels like another pivotal period in the story of Keane.
The three core members of Keane, school friends from Sussex, formed a band in 1997 but did not come to national attention until they released a one-off single on the small but influential Fierce Panda label in 2003.
The key to their breakthrough came when BBC DJ Steve Lamacq played the song on the radio, Hughes believes. "The single could have existed and not been heard," he says.
"I think his show was still on Radio 1 at that point. So it was massive. Record companies realised that it sounded good on the radio and went, 'Hang on a minute, have we made a mistake by ignoring these guys for five years?'"
Tim Rice-Oxley was friends with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin at university, and Coldplay almost poached the Keane musician in their early days.
"There was a point where Coldplay thought about adding a keyboard player and they knew Tim and they asked him," Hughes recalls.
"We'd been a band for years. Before he had to really decide, I think they withdrew the offer and Chris decided he was going to do it [play the keyboard]."
The course of both bands, and British music, could have been so different.
The band took off in early 2004, when their single Somewhere Only We Know became a hit. Chaplin recalls realising they were famous when he saw the video in a hotel gym.
"I remember getting on a running machine when we got to the hotel in Scotland and it was playing, and I felt slightly strange and embarrassed," he says.
After becoming famous, he says, "it is hard to conceive of life not being like that".
"It's like once you've got a mobile phone you can't imagine life without it. And in a way that's quite depressing. Because even if someone's not staring at you, you still feel like that wherever you go. And so from that moment onwards it changes you as a human being."
For Chaplin, the best times with the band are when he is on stage.
"There have been lots of crazy times - a Grammys party or picking up a Q Award or a Brit Award, and you're elated and it's a buzz," he says. "But the great moments are really great gigs, and there have been lots of those. They're kind of untouchable.
"It might just be a fleeting moment in a gig that I'll have almost an out-of-body experience. I'll be seeing things happen almost objectively, no sense of ego, just a sense of being something really great."
He says the most memorable shows were a concert for 14,000 fans in Paraguay last year and another in Dublin in 2007.
Chaplin and Hughes insist there are not many arguments within camp Keane. There is no reason to disbelieve them. But when pushed to pick their biggest bust-ups, they both recall occasions when Rice-Oxley told them they must try harder.
Chaplin recounts a band meeting before the recording of their fifth album, Strangeland. "I wasn't being very healthy. I was a bit all over the shop," he admits.
"Everyone was like, 'Tom are you ready to make the album?' I was like, 'Yeah yeah, definitely.' And I remember Tim saying, 'Because you know you're not singing very well at the moment.' I remember thinking, 'Oh God.'"
Hughes recalls recording their second album, Under the Iron Sea, when the songwriter and taskmaster told him he had to re-record his drum parts.
"It was a real sinking feeling because I didn't know if I could do any better," Hughes says. "It turned out that we could. We could all do better than we'd already done, and pushing yourself is really important.
"But at that moment I felt like I wanted to hit the road and hitch and stop wherever I got kicked out and live there."
Asked when he has come closest to quitting the band, Chaplin looks back to a drink-fuelled breakdown in 2006.
"We were in Japan and I'd just been on a bender," he says. "Cumulatively there had been a lot of episodes where I felt very unhappy and was pushing the self-destruct button a lot.
"I just walked out of the hotel, got on a plane and flew home.
"No-one knew where I was or what I was doing. I remember feeling quite relieved on the plane home, 'Thank god I can just leave all this behind now.'
"It was because I hated myself more than anything else. It was a general self-loathing, really. I found I lashed out by trying to hurt the things that were important to me. You want to destroy everything.
"It wasn't long before I realised it would be a very bad idea, especially mid-tour, to throw in the towel."
After promoting their greatest hits album, the band will be put on hold as Chaplin makes a solo album.
"We are taking a break from Keane, but we're not splitting up," the singer says.
"In order to do some of the things I want to do, you have to clear the decks. I've wanted to do a solo thing for ages, so that urge has become undeniable for me."
He will attempt to use the solo album to prove himself as a songwriter. "It's something I used to do for years and years and then Tim got so damned good at it that I just gave up, really," he says.
"When you're denying a part of yourself like that it's not healthy. So it's a voyage of self-exploration for me, rather selfishly. But it has to be that way." | From the highs of hit albums and global adulation to the lows of breakdowns and now (temporary) break-up, the story of British band Keane is not an unfamiliar one in the history of pop music. |

Play at the Open golf championship at St Andrews has been suspended due to rain.
Police Scotland urged rush hour drivers to "slow down and take care."
At The Open play was suspended before the first group had even managed to finish the first hole on the second day of the championship.
The downpour saw a torrent of water gushing down Golf Place, the road leading to the R&A clubhouse, with the greens quickly flooding.

What is the summary of the following document? | The all-rounder, who retired from Test cricket in December, has now decided to end his one-day international career.
Kallis, 38, intends to continue playing Twenty20 cricket for Sydney Thunder and Kolkata Knight Riders.
Former India captain Rahul Dravid, speaking on the BBC's Test Match Special, said Kallis was "the Garry Sobers of our generation".
Kallis made his decision after scoring only five runs from his final three ODIs in Sri Lanka this month.
"I realised in Sri Lanka that my dream of playing in a World Cup was a bridge too far," said Kallis.
"Ï just knew on that tour that I was done. The squad that was in Sri Lanka is an amazing one and I believe they have a good chance of bringing the trophy home in March."
Paul Collingwood, former England one-day captain, tweeted that Kallis "scored runs for fun, swung it both ways, could hit you in the head and had hands like buckets".
Cricket South Africa chief executive Haroon Lorgat said: "South Africa has been blessed with one of the world's greatest cricketing talents in Jacques Kallis.
"He is undeniably one of the greatest players ever to have graced our wonderful game and he has certainly been the Proteas' standard-bearer of excellence for nearly two decades."
Former England captain Michael Vaughan also believes Kallis should be remembered as a modern great.
"You talk about Wasim Akram, Sir Ian Botham, Sir Garry Sobers - he is right up there with them," said Vaughan.
"He batted all his career in the top four, stood at second slip and bowled fast - he's had a great career. The international game will miss Jacques Kallis.

"We are very much up for this," he said.
"We have a significant number of committed senior clinicians and managers to deliver a coordinated service in Cardiff."
Dr Shortland added: "Neurosurgery is key in terms of having a surgeons available very rapidly and having decisions made.
"This includes when not to do surgery but having expert opinion and support systems in terms of radiology and a high-care bed facility."

Last year, 710 of the centenarians were estimated to be 105 or older, the figures show.
In the past decade alone, the number of people reaching the age of 100 has increased by 71%, the ONS said.
In 2013, there were 586 female centenarians for every 100 men of the same age - this has fallen from 823 women per 100 men in 2003.
Those reaching their century now were born in the same year as poet Dylan Thomas and actor Sir Alec Guinness.
The figures also show the number of people over 90, which the ONS calls the "very old", has nearly trebled over the past 30 years. There are now 527,240 such people in the UK, making up 0.8% of the population.
The ONS report stated: "The numbers reaching very old ages continue to increase."
Survival rates are higher in England and Wales than Scotland or Northern Ireland.
In 2013, there were 840 people aged 90 and over per 100,000 in England and Wales; higher than in Scotland (707) and Northern Ireland (620), the ONS said.

Her husband Faustin Rukundo said his wife is being victimised because of his role as a political activist.
He is involved with the Rwandan National Congress opposition group.
Mrs Uwamahoro's children, Samuel, aged eight, and David, 10, have written to Prime Minister Theresa May, and Rwandan president, Paul Kagame, in a bid to help their mother.
They have also sent her Mother's Day cards, telling her how much they miss her.
Speaking at the family home in Leeds, her husband, who is a lab technician, said: "I believe she was taken because of me - a punishment aimed at me."
He said his wife had no political past, and is not political now, and is innocent. She denies the charges against her.
Mr Rukundo is calling for the British Government to intervene as he fears the trial will not be a fair one.
A spokesperson for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: "We are providing assistance to a British woman and her family following her arrest in Rwanda. Our staff in Kigali are in touch with local authorities."
Paul Kagame, who has run Rwanda since his rebel army ended the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people in 1994, has been criticised by some for trampling on freedoms and building up the army to assert his authority.
He has also been accused of using anti-genocide legislation to clamp down on opponents.

Can you provide a summary of this content? | Hutchinson's early career was blighted by injury, forcing him to retire aged 21 in 2010, before he returned a year later.
"I'm probably the happiest I've ever been now, with my kids," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"I pushed my family away and my wife sort of saved me. She pulled me out of it and made me play football again."
Hutchinson continued: "I had to deal with it in my own way, like my injuries, and it's made me stronger and more mature."
Hutchinson initially played for Chelsea on his return to football in 2011, before making a loan move to Championship side Wednesday permanent in 2014.
Hutchinson came up through the Chelsea youth ranks and made his senior debut in 2007 under Jose Mourinho against Everton.
Injuries limited his appearances and he played for Chelsea three times in the 2009-10 season, but struggles with his knee forced him to retire in August 2010.
He recently wrote an article for The Sun discussing his battle with depression for the first time.
"I did it not for people to feel sorry for me but to raise awareness for other people," he said.
"It was one of those pieces where it's not about me, it is about the matter in hand and dealing with that.
"Certain people aren't ready to do so and they don't want to speak about it and they shouldn't be pushed to."
After loan spells at Nottingham Forest and Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem, Hutchinson signed for The Owls in July 2014.
He has made 27 appearances this season as Wednesday have pushed for promotion to the top flight, but he has also picked up 12 yellow cards along the way.
"I won't ever calm down because it's not my character," he added.
"It's not how I am off the pitch but sometimes you need it. It's my make-up and it won't change."
Mr Kimishima has been a managing director at the firm since June 2013, and joined in 2000.
The company said several new appointments were part of a "large-scale revision" of Nintendo's organisational structure.
The changes will come into effect on Wednesday.
Mr Kimishima was a managing director of the company in charge of corporate analysis, general affairs and human resources divisions.
He has been at Nintendo since 2000 when he was appointed director of its Pokemon business.
A new title of "Creative Fellow" was announced for game designer and senior managing director Shigeru Miyamoto.
Another senior executive, Genyo Takeda, was given the title "Technology Fellow."
Nintendo said the titles were meant to convey his roles in providing advice and guidance.
Mr Iwata, who was president from 2002, was highly revered on the Japanese gaming scene.
He was considered the leading figure behind some of Nintendo's most popular devices from 2000, when he joined the company.
He led Nintendo into the rapidly growing mobile gaming sector.
Midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson, striker Fernando Llorente and centre-back Federico Fernandez were all linked with moves away from the Liberty Stadium.
Jenkins says they turned down "substantial offers" for the trio.

The 20-year-old winger, who joined Fulham from Portsmouth in 2012, scored eight goals in 42 appearances on loan at Oxford United last season.
Wilson told BBC Radio Sheffield: "Ryan has been on our list for a long time, he's a very creative player."
The former Sheffield Wednesday, Bristol City, MK Dons, Hartlepool, Swindon and Sheffield United boss also confirmed his interest in securing loan deals for Williams' clubmate Marcello Trotta and Nottingham Forest defender Danny Collins.
Barnsley were relegated from the Championship last season and results at the start of the new campaign have again left them near the foot of the table, but Wilson backed his players to quickly improve.
"We fully understand the areas we need to be better," he said. "It's about confidence. We've conceded too easily, and from then on we've found it difficult and that's where the confidence comes into it, and leadership to an extent.
"This league is a very competitive and physical league. As far as ability and technique and talent goes, we're as good as anyone in this league."
He added: "As the season goes on I think the tempo will drop, some teams will lose form, but at this moment we're learning.
"There's so far left in the season, to get worried and carried away, it just astonishes me at times.
"We have some talented players here. Given backing and support we'll see the best of them.

Sigmar Gabriel said the EU would go "down the drain" if other states followed Britain's lead and that the UK could not keep the "nice things" about Europe while taking no responsibility.
It comes as Theresa May summoned ministers for a meeting on Wednesday to discuss ideas for the UK's withdrawal.
Downing Street said Brexit was "top" of the prime minister's agenda.
But a report in The Sunday Times suggested her cabinet was split over leaving the single market.
The UK voted to leave the European Union in a referendum vote on 23 June.
Mr Gabriel, who is also economy minister in Germany's governing coalition and Chancellor Angela Merkel's deputy, told a news conference that as a result, the world now regarded Europe as an unstable continent.
"Brexit is bad but it won't hurt us as much economically as some fear - it's more of a psychological problem and it's a huge problem politically," he said.
"If we organise Brexit in the wrong way, then we'll be in deep trouble, so now we need to make sure that we don't allow Britain to keep the nice things, so to speak, related to Europe while taking no responsibility."
Mrs Merkel has met a number of European leaders during the past week to prepare the ground for a September summit focused on the EU's future post-Brexit.
She has said remaining member states must listen to each other carefully and avoid rushing into policy decisions.
Meanwhile, Mrs May is due to begin drawing up blueprints for Brexit on Wednesday, when she hosts cabinet ministers at Chequers, the prime minister's country retreat in Buckinghamshire.
BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said Mrs May would hear different answers to the question "what does Brexit actually mean?" from around the cabinet table and in Parliament.
It comes as a new cross-party group called Open Britain was launched.
In a joint article for the group in the Sunday Times, three former ministers from the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats accept that the free movement of people cannot continue, but they warn against "pulling up the drawbridge."
Mr Gabriel also said on Sunday that trade talks between the EU and the US had "de facto failed".
The plan - known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership or TTIP - aimed to remove or reduce a wide range of barriers to EU-US trade and investment.
However, the move has been controversial in many of countries involved, including Germany and the UK. Critics say TTIP is driven by big business and would be bad for jobs, consumers and the environment.
In 14 rounds of talks, the two sides had not agreed on a single common chapter out of 27 being discussed, Mr Gabriel said.
"In my opinion the negotiations with the United States have de facto failed, even though nobody is really admitting it," said Mr Gabriel.
He suggested Washington was angry about a deal the EU struck with Canada, because it contained elements the US does not want to see in the TTIP.
"We mustn't submit to the American proposals," said Mr Gabriel, who is head of Germany's centre-left Social Democratic Party, which is in coalition with Mrs Merkel's centre-right Christian Democratic Union.
The BBC's Andrew Walker said ending the negotiations would not be a decision for Mr Gabriel, as he is the leader of centre-left Social Democratic Party, which is in coalition with Mrs Merkel's centre-right Christian Democratic Union.
Nonetheless, Mr Gabriel is an important voice and his view that TTIP has in effect failed is a sign of just how much political difficulty it faces, our correspondent added.
He has also been forced to defend his actions after he flicked the middle finger to a group of right-wing protesters earlier this month.
Sigmar Gabriel said his only mistake was not using both hands, and told his critics to think about what they would do if faced with 12 "young, aggressive, swearing and ready-for-violence Nazis".

The club and Northumbria Police have stressed there is no specific threat to the city or Newcastle fans.
Vans and lorries have been used in recent terrorist attacks in London and cities across Europe.
The Northumbria force said the move was a "sensible" response to the attacks, with Newcastle City Council adding the decision had "not been taken lightly".
A council spokesman said: "With vehicles used as weapons to drive into crowds in Nice, Berlin, Stockholm and more recently in London, the police and ourselves in partnership with the Fans Forum and the club have decided to protect the 52,000 supporters who regularly flock to St James' Park.
"We have seen the death and destruction caused by terrorists who use vehicles as weapons by driving them into crowded places.
"We have a duty and responsibility to do all that we can to protect the public, and this is what we will do."
Additional road closures will also be in force on matchdays, particularly around Strawberry Place, following advice from the National Counter Terrorism Unit.
Barriers will remain in place until 20 minutes after the game ends.
A Northumbria Police spokesman added: "This is a sensible, practically focused and proportionate partnership plan with public safety at its core.
"Whilst there is no current intelligence to indicate St James' Park or its wider environs will be targeted, we continue to robustly scrutinise and be vigilant around events generally."
The new measures are due to be tested on 6 August, when Newcastle entertain Verona in a friendly.
The lights at the roundabout close to the Kessock Bridge have been the cause of frustration for motorists.
Transport Scotland four options to ease travel have been considered, including removing the lights.
However, it said speeding up the timing of the signals "was shown to deliver the best results".
Following consultation with Highland Council, the new timings will be trialled between mid-August and mid-September.
Transport Scotland's operating company manager, Jonny Moran, said: "We are very aware of the concerns of those who use the Longman Roundabout and we want to address these to improve conditions for road users.
"Our analysis has shown that changing the timings of the signals will have a positive effect on traffic flows and we will trial the new approach at the end of the summer.
"Many people in the area have told us that they want the lights to be switched off permanently and we did consider this option.
"However, the assessment showed that the timing changes that we intend to trial delivered better results for all road users, especially at peak times."
Mr Moran said the trial would be monitored and then evaluated before a decision was made on the future operation of the lights.
He added: "We very much appreciate the patience of those who use the roundabout during this process.
"It does take time to collect the information required to make any changes as we have a responsibility to maintain road safety and an evidence based approach is the most effective way of doing that."

Summarize the provided information. | The vessel, being created in Portsmouth by BAE Systems and ASV, will be used on the new Queen Elizabeth Class ships.
The modified rigid inflatable boats are capable of unmanned operations up to 25 miles (40km) away from their parent vessel.
They can also be remote controlled from land or ship, or piloted normally.
The boats, which can travel in excess of 38 knots (44mph), are intended to carry out high-risk missions without putting sailors in danger.
Les Gregory, product and training services director at BAE Systems, said the boats were capable of performing multiple roles.
Dan Hook, managing director for Fareham-based ASV, which develops unmanned marine systems, said the technology would allow the boat to complete "complex missions and navigate through waters avoiding collisions".
He said: "This gives it the flexibility and sophistication to operate in a number of different tactical roles, whether it's patrolling areas of interest, providing surveillance and reconnaissance ahead of manned missions, or protecting larger ships in the fleet."
Three routes would be opened and a fourth for armed rebels, Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said.
Syria's president has also offered an amnesty for rebels laying down arms and surrendering within three months.
Government forces have encircled Aleppo, cutting off rebel-held areas and severing all supply routes.
The offensive has been aided by Russian air power.
Rebel forces fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad have held eastern parts of the city for the past four years.
The story of the Syrian conflict
Aleppo: City facing its last gasp?
The UN has warned of a critical situation for about 300,000 people still there.
UN humanitarian chief Stephen O'Brien said on Monday that "food supplies are expected to run out in mid-August and many medical facilities continue to be attacked".
Mr Shoigu described the corridors as a "large-scale humanitarian operation".
He said the move was "first and foremost to ensure the safety of Aleppo residents".
The three corridors for civilians and unarmed fighters would have medical posts and food handouts, Mr Shoigu said, adding that he would welcome the co-operation of international aid organisations.
The fourth, in the direction of Castello Road, would be for armed militants, although Mr Shoigu complained that the US had not supplied information about how the rebel Free Syrian Army units it supports had separated from jihadist al-Nusra fighters.
Reports on Thursday said that government forces had taken control of more areas of the city, in the Bani Zeid neighbourhood.
Mr Assad's amnesty offer came in a decree issued on Thursday, the state-run Sana news agency reported.
"Everyone carrying arms... and sought by justice... is excluded from full punishment if they hand themselves in and lay down their weapons," it quoted the decree as saying.
There have been several presidential amnesty offers in recent years.
Throughout the five years of Syria's war, aid agencies have pleaded for humanitarian access - usually in vain. Only under intense international pressure has the regime allowed a limited number of aid convoys to reach areas under siege. But now, with the rebels surrounded in Aleppo, the Syrian government may feel it can afford to appear magnanimous.
The announcement has taken many by surprise but may be modelled on a ceasefire agreement last year in Homs.
That deal allowed starving rebels to leave, ceding control of the city to the government. Winning back Aleppo - Syria's biggest city - would be a huge prize for the government. But so far there are no signs of fighters leaving the city. Rebels and civilians alike have reacted to the initiative with intense distrust.
Last week US Secretary of State John Kerry held marathon talks in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
They agreed "concrete steps" on tackling jihadists in Syria and on trying to reach an effective ceasefire, although proposals have not been made public.

A global search was launched by Medway NHS Foundation Trust to find the right person to deliver a recovery plan.

It is hoped Ms Dwyer will begin her work as chief executive of the trust by the summer.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | Surrey Heath Borough Council paid £8m for St George's Industrial Estate in Frimley Road, Camberley.
It said the estate was expected to generate income of £560,000 a year and help economic growth in the area.
Councillor Moira Gibson said: "Over the years our grants from government have reduced and we need to bolster the income the council earns."
She said the industrial estate was very successful, with a range of small businesses from printers to car showrooms.
It had a small number of vacancies which were expected to be filled easily.
Ms Gibson said that, in common with most other councils, Surrey Heath had a property acquisition strategy to supplement income from council tax.
"We have already had a grant from the local enterprise partnership to buy another property in Camberley with a view to development," she said.
Invest NI commissioned the report after commercial agents warned of a "crisis".
Unless this was addressed, the report said, attempts to attract overseas jobs could be hindered.
The shortage is in grade A offices - new or refurbished buildings, in prime locations, with open plan layouts.
Under a proposal being considered by the Department of Finance, loans for part of the development costs would be made following applications through Invest NI.
The report said "very few" developers have the capital required to do projects.
Low rental returns have had an impact on the viability of schemes.
The report said there is "clear justification for the consideration of public sector intervention... by reducing the financial risk of development."
Any intervention would be short-term and loans, probably only for up to a third of the costs, and would be repaid with interest.
The money would come from a funding pot known as Financial Transactions Capital (FTC), outside Invest NI's budget and the block grant.
But developers would still require other capital, either from banks or their own cash.
Around 250,000 sq ft of grade A space is said to be currently available.
But agents forecast demand of 1.1m sq ft over the next three years.
This pressure could be added to if a reduction in corporation tax creates the jobs bonanza the Northern Ireland Executive hopes for.

Fans also showed more enthusiasm than critics by giving it a B+ rating, according to audience trackers CinemaScore. Viewers under 18 gave it an A rating.
"You can't put reviews in the bank. You can put money in the bank," Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore, told the Associated Press.
"The long-term success of any movie is predicated on positive sentiment from the fans. For any movie, that's the most important aspect."
However after doing strong business on Thursday and Friday, its takings dropped sharply on Saturday, leading to suggestions that its earnings may decline steeply in the coming weeks.
Matt Damon's Jason Bourne dropped to a distant second in the weekend box office rankings with $22.7m (£17.4m).

Please summarize the given passage. | As Julia prepares for the start of the working week, a discarded pile of jumpers and jeans are flung from a wire rack on to a sunken mattress on the floor. She has a busy day ahead, picking roses on the local flower farm, and she wants to impress her new manager.
"It was an opportunity I couldn't refuse," she explains, ushering the youngest of her five children out the door. "Regular work, a school nearby and a new home. Here in rural Kenya, there isn't anything else for women like me."
Glancing out of the window of the minibus as it skirts around the shores of serene Lake Naivasha, 100km (62 miles) north of Nairobi, she points out the rays of sun bouncing off calm waters. It's easy to see why families flock here during the harvesting season.
But beyond the vibrant fields of freshly cut roses and chrysanthemums, it's claimed that workers' rights are being exploited on an industrial scale, with allegations of low pay, unfair dismissals and sexual harassment of the predominantly female workforce.
"Men complain that when we wear skirts, they feel like having sex with us. We have to be careful," says Julia. "That's why it's important that I am dressed appropriately."
Julia, who does not want to give her last name, recently left a role on a farm nearby after she refused to have sex with her male supervisor. She is hopeful that her new job on a farm certified by Fairtrade International will offer more protection.
Aware of the frequency of incidents of sexual assault, Fairtrade has set up a gender committee on each of its 39 flower farms in Kenya, which encourages women to report violations.
Tsitsi Choruma, global gender adviser and chief operating officer for Fairtrade Africa, believes these structures are necessary to ensure harassment is reported.
"We need to build confidence - the softer skills mean these women are able to talk. We must build the power within them. We also need to involve men to enhance equality and empowerment."
But for the remaining 60% of flower farms in Kenya that do not have the Fairtrade reporting structures in place, holding perpetrators to account is complex.
Andrew Odete, regional project manager at Hivos International, a Kenyan human rights organisation, says that more needs to be done to address the sexual harassment of female staff.
"Many women live in fear of losing their marriages if they are accused of being complicit in that act. Because of power relations, if it is the director or the manager accused of a violation, the choice as to who must leave is an easy one for many farms."
Low pay is also rife across the horticulture sector in Kenya. On average, a harvester earns between $60 to $120 per month, falling far below what workers require to sustain themselves.
At a farm on the southern shores of Lake Naivasha, flower harvester Daisy shuffles languidly towards the bus stop at the end of her shift. She says that she is concerned her salary is not enough to support her family.
"I earn around $50 per month. That money is too small. It's not enough to feed myself and it's much too little to provide food for my children."
While discussions about a minimum wage are continuing within the horticulture sector, Stephen Oburo from the Federation of Kenyan Employers, an affiliate of Kenya's Labour Ministry, claims that the onus should be shifted to employees rather than employers in order to exercise fair workers' rights.
"If these women can't even inform union leaders or the Ministry of Labour about their wages, they are doing a disservice to themselves and this country," he states. "Do they want us to put a policeman on each farm to make sure these violations don't happen? We don't have the resources to do that."
For many flower harvesters, safeguarding their rights is primarily managed by trade unions and local non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
Jane Ngige, chief executive of the Kenya Flower Council, says that supporting farms to come up with innovative answers to old problems will be the next step forward.
"When women get their wages, they lose their money to thieves. They are often attacked on the way home, or their husbands find 'better ways' for them to use that money. In response, the farms installed ATMs. These women are now running bank accounts and you cannot imagine what an impact that has had on these workers."
The role that consumers in Europe play can also make an impact, Andrew Odete from Hivos says.
"We have found that there is a willingness by the consumer to pay 35 euro cents (30p) per bouquet of flowers in order that that money comes back upstream and translates into a liveable wage for a worker on the farms of Lake Naivasha."
But for women like Daisy without the reporting structures in place to address violations of workers' rights, she hopes that this role will be a short-term fix.
"When I get a better job, I will go. I don't mind where. Anywhere would be better than here." | Female flower pickers in Kenya can face many hardships in their work - often finding themselves victims of sexual harassment or earning a wage so low they struggle to get by - but initiatives are in place to try to improve the workers' rights. |
What is a brief summary of the information below? | Sally Dent, 32, and Shaun Binfield, 44, from Belper, Derbyshire, are on trial for the manslaughter of their son Riley Pettipierre and child cruelty.
Riley was found unconscious on 13 March after he took methadone which had been stored in his drinking beaker.
The court heard police also found evidence of heroin and cannabis in hiding places around the home.
On the second day of trial the jury at Nottingham Crown Court was told scientific tests showed traces of these drugs in strands of Riley's hair.
Prosecution barrister, Yvonne Coen QC, said that far from being a tragic accident, it was highly likely Riley had also consumed heroin and cocaine in the months leading up to his death.
She said: "Far from being a tragic one-off, it would seem there was something of a culture of neglect in this household concerning drugs.
"It can't be said either parent deliberately gave them to Riley, but he did come into contact with a cocktail of potentially lethal drugs. It was an obvious risk with very grave consequences."
Concluding her opening of the case Ms Coen added: "The death of any child is a tragedy. This death was wholly avoidable.
"It is the duty of a parent to look after their children. Riley's parents failed in the most serious way by not keeping him safe."
At an earlier hearing the court heard Ms Dent was a regular user of heroin and crack cocaine and been prescribed methadone to break her addiction.
She had been sleeping off the effects of the drugs at the family's flat in Belper when Riley reached out to the beaker on some bedroom drawers, the court heard.
Mr Binfield was watching television in another room and Ms Dent awoke to find Riley lifeless in the bed next to her, the hearing was told.
Post-mortem tests showed the toddler had enough methadone in his blood, stomach and urine to prove fatal.
Ms Dent and Mr Binfield deny the charges. The case continues.
Sixty-seven people have been killed in protest-related violence in Venezuela since mass anti-government protests started on 1 April.
The Peruvian president said there was "no democracy" in Venezuela.
Mr Kuczynski also called on the Venezuelan government to allow humanitarian aid to be sent.
He was speaking at a meeting of business leaders in the Spanish capital, Madrid.
"There's no democracy in Venezuela. There was an election, but now a large part of the population doesn't feel represented," Mr Kuczynski said.
He suggested that an international commission be formed to resolve the crisis in Venezuela.
He said that while action by the international community could be seen as "an interference", it would be "to safeguard democracy".
The Peruvian leader said that if no action was taken there would be a risk of "a bloodbath, that people may flee to Colombia, that others leave by boat".

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Inevitably things go wrong on occasions, and online shopping can add an extra variable of delivery into the mix.
So what are your rights, and how are things different when buying on the High Street and online?
Online retailers have up to 30 days to deliver goods, unless specifically agreed otherwise. So it may be the case that you have already left it too late.
If delivery before Christmas is part of the contract, and specified in a confirmation e-mail, then you may have a claim in a small-claims court for breach of contract if it fails to arrive before 25 December.
Otherwise, any goods that arrive late can be returned within seven days if they are no longer wanted under normal distance selling regulations.
Retailers may write into their contract that unforeseen circumstances, such as bad weather, may exempt them from a claim for breach of contract. Each retailer might have different rules.
If you decide to send items back, then the seven-day returns rule covers the period from when it arrives to when you send it back - rather than when it is received by the retailer.
So, if it is snowing, a delayed delivery will not affect your returns rights. Consumer groups advise getting a receipt from the Post Office as proof that you have sent it back on time.
Yes. The seven-day cooling-off period when buying online gives you the right to a full refund, including the original delivery charges, regardless of the reason for returning it - and that includes just changing your mind on wanting it.
Otherwise, if you buy items on the internet you have the same rights as when you buy on the High Street.
Those rights include a refund, replacement or repair if the items is not as described on the website or in the store, if it is not of satisfactory quality, or not suitable for the purpose for which it is intended.
If it proves to be defective within the first six months after purchase, then the onus is on the retailer to prove the fault did not exist at the time of sale and customers can get a partial refund, repair or replacement. After that, the onus is on the customer to prove it was faulty when they bought it.
No. Some goods, such as perishable food, are exempt for obvious reasons.
Other exemptions include flowers, personalised goods, and audio or software with the plastic packaging removed. | Christmas is one of the happiest times of year for most people, but the stress levels can rise when it comes to buying presents. |
Summarize the information in the following section. | Researchers at the House of Commons have produced a handbook for its 650 members - whose average age is 50 - full of statistics about what they call the "generation much talked about and arguably misunderstood".
Like the baby boomers and Generation X before them, this group have acquired their own tag, although there is debate about the exact parameters of the group.
So who is a millennial? According to this guide, it defines the generation as those now aged 25 to 34.
That means they would have experienced at least some, if not all, of their teenage years and early adulthood in the 21st Century.
And now the House of Commons Library, which describes itself as a "bespoke enquiry service to MPs and their staff", has assessed this millennial generation in 50 pages of statistics and research.
Here are some of its key findings:
The millennials are "more urban and diverse" than older people.
Employment rates among millennials are at a "near record high", the report says.
But it's not all good news - their wages have suffered more than other age groups since the recession in 2008, when many were just entering the world of work.
The report points to research showing that millennials do not follow the usual pattern of having higher average pay than the generation before them.
They are most likely to work in the wholesale and retail sector, followed by health and social work.
And unsurprisingly, millennials are less wealthy than older generations, having had less time to accumulate savings.
To illustrate the point, half of households led by a millennial have net wealth of £700 or less.
However in the 65 to 74 age group, half have accumulated £22,700 or more, the report says.
They will also have to wait longer to receive their state pension than previous generations.
It will not be news to many millennials, but they are much less likely to own their own home than previous generations.
The report says 59% of households led by a millennial are renting, with 38% owning their own home.
It has not always been this way - 20 years ago, the report says, young people were more likely to own than rent.
But now millennials are less likely to own their own home - and more likely to rent in the private sector - than any other age group.
In the past 20 years there has also been a slight increase in the proportion of 25- to 34-year-olds living with their parents, the report says, citing Office for National Statistics figures.
This is the case for 14% of millennials.
Millennials were most likely to have voted Labour in the 2015 election, according to a post-election survey - which put Labour on 32.4% to the Tories' 28.7%.
But they were also some of the least likely people to turn out to vote.
Millennial turnout was higher in last year's EU referendum, and they were "far more likely" to vote Remain, the Commons research says.
As for their view on the world, the report adds: "Recent significant world events such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the 2008 financial crises are seen as having a major impact on millennials' socio-political outlook.
"For example... it is argued that millennials have experienced long term 'scarring' in the labour market by having the misfortune to enter the workforce at the height of the financial crises."
Nathan Gill said the UK and Welsh manifestos, out later this week, would be comprehensive, "full" documents on "every single topic you could imagine".

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | The process to replace Kathryn Stone has been plagued with problems.
Alex Bunting, who lost a leg in an IRA bomb attack, said he would only believe the long wait for an appointment was over "when they announce it on television".
"We do need someone asap, because if we don't get them as soon as possible its going to get worse for victims," he told BBC NI's The View.
"They've told us about three times over this past year they were going to get someone appointed very soon and we're still waiting.
"I know the process is finished in this round. This is the second round of interviews for a commissioner. I have to say the say I'll believe it is the day they announce it on television."
In January, First Minister Peter Robinson told the assembly the first round had failed to produce a winner and there had been "a disappointingly small pool of appointable candidates".
However, it is understood two people were judged to be appointable, but not appropriate for the role.
Mr Robinson said the salary for the post may have to be increased. It was re-advertised more widely and a second round of interviews was conducted in May.
A spokesperson for the Office of the First and Deputy First Minister said the process was at "an advanced stage" and they hoped to make an announcement shortly.
The hiatus has caused a problem for the Victims Forum. Several members have left without being replaced because that can only be done by a commissioner.
The secretary to the Victims Commission, John Beggs, has been carrying out the role on an interim basis but said the situation had been "extremely difficult."
"We have been able to get on with our research on victims issues," he said.
"We've been able to get on with our engagement with individuals and groups, [but] to bring that to a culmination we really need a commissioner to consider that advice and take it directly to ministers; to take it directly to government and to make sure it is acted upon and that is the missing part of the equation as it stands.
"I can't give opinion and commentary as a victims commissioner could under their legal authority, so in many ways a lot of the work we are doing goes unseen and unheard in the media and in the sector and that is very frustrating for us in the commission, particularly at a time when there are so many victims issue in the press and in the media."
The failure to appoint has been criticised by two former victims commissioners, Ulster Unionist leader Mike Nesbitt and Patricia MacBride.
Mr Nesbitt said Stormont was in danger of losing all credibility because it could not make difficult decisions.
Ms MacBride said it was "appalling" that victims and survivors were being put in a position where they were having to "fight their own battles" to get the help they needed. | The Office of the First and Deputy First Minister has been strongly criticised for failing to appoint a victims commissioner a year after the last one left. |
Can you summarize the following paragraph? | You will see an amazing supermoon up in the night sky, which means the moon will be very big and bright.
There was a supermoon last month but this one is particularly special.
That's because it will be the biggest and brightest that it has been since 1948 - that's almost 70 years!
But what actually is a supermoon anyway?
Two things have to happen for there to be a supermoon.
Firstly, it must be a full moon. Secondly, the moon must be at a point during its orbit where it is particularly close to Earth.
The moon orbits the Earth in an oval shape, and sometimes it is closer to the Earth than at other times.
When the moon is at the stage when it is closest to Earth, this is called its perigee. When it is further away, this is the moon's apogee.
The reason that the supermoon this month is particularly special is because the moon will be even closer to Earth than it has been for decades, so it will be bigger and brighter than you will ever have seen in your entire life!
Usually, a supermoon is about 14% bigger and 30% brighter than a full moon when it is further away from the Earth.
Go out at night and have a look at the sky on the night of 13 or 14 November.
Try to go somewhere where there aren't many other lights, as this can distract from how bright the moon is and how easily you can see it.
If you look at it when the moon is nearer to the horizon, this can create an optical illusion which will make it look even bigger and more spectacular.
There is due to be another supermoon on 14 December, but it won't be as amazing as the November one, which is the biggest so far this century.
The December supermoon will be special for its own reason. Because it is so bright, it will make seeing the Geminid meteor shower next month much more difficult than usual.
As for November's supermoon, you won't see one as impressive as this again until the end of November in 2034, so it's well worth making sure you step outside to take a look!
Let's hope the weather decides to behave that night... | If you go outside at night on 13/14 November, you might get to enjoy something quite spectacular. |
Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Mr Santos won nearly 51% of votes and saw off his right-wing challenger Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, who had 45%.
Correspondents say the victory will be seen as an endorsement of the president's ongoing peace talks with the left-wing Farc rebel group.
Mr Zuluaga had said he would halt the talks unless the rebels ceased all hostilities.
Mr Santos, 62, will be inaugurated in August for a new four-year term.
"This is the generation of peace. Millions of Colombians have chosen hope over fear," Mr Santos said in an address to supporters at his headquarters.
"Thank you very much, Colombians! Your support means we will have to worker even harder," he said.
Mr Zuluaga, who had won the first round of voting in May by a narrow margin, accepted defeat in a speech to supporters in his headquarters.
He vowed to continue his fight to "defend the life and the liberty" of all Colombians.
He also thanked his political mentor, former president Alvaro Uribe, who will be sworn in as senator in August and is expected to lead the opposition to the government.
With almost all the votes counted electronically, results were announced one hour after polls closed.
There were no reports of major problems or irregularities, says the BBC's Arturo Wallace in Bogota.
Nearly 48% of the 33 million Colombians registered to vote took part in the election.
Despite concerns in Colombia about high crime and unemployment, the campaign focused on the peace negotiations with the Farc, launched by Mr Santos in November 2012.
The talks, which are being held in Cuba, are aimed at ending five decades of conflict.
Mr Santos expects a deal to be signed by the end of the year, with the Farc giving up their armed struggle and joining the legal political process.
Government negotiators and rebel leaders have held several rounds of talks in the Cuban capital, Havana.
They have agreed on three points of the agenda drawn up in 2012 - land reform, future political participation and drug trafficking, which is allegedly the main source of income for the rebels.
Three other points remain to be agreed on - the rights of the victims, disarmament of the rebels and the implementation of the agreement.

Summarize the following excerpt. | Lady Susan Zetland, 76, of Aske Hall, near Richmond, North Yorkshire, was charged following the crash in July.
The crash on the A66 at Melsonby crossroads involved her Subaru Outback 4x4, two HGVs and another car
Lady Zetland appeared at Teesside Crown Court to deny the charge and was told she would stand trial at later date before being released on bail.
She was accompanied to court by her husband, Lawrence Mark Dundas, the 4th Marquess of Zetland.
Aske Hall was first mentioned in the Domesday Book, according to the hall's website, but was developed over the centuries by a number of owners.
It was bought in 1763 by Sir Lawrence Dundas, 1st Baronet, for £45,000.

The 832 Moroccans, who were hired as private contractors in the 1970s, were denied "railway worker" status and the accordant benefits, a court found.
Nearly all of them were awarded damages by the court, with the settlements ranging between €150,000 and €230,000.
Many of them waited more than a decade for the outcome of the case.
The industrial court, which specialises in workplace conflicts, said that SNCF was guilty of "discrimination in the execution of work contracts" and "in the rights to retirement".
The plaintiffs argued that their careers had been stunted and they had received lower pensions than their French counterparts.
Even those who later received French nationality and were awarded permanent contracts complained their careers had been deliberately curtailed.
There were shouts of joy in the courtroom when the verdict was read out. Ahmed Katim, who was hired as a contractor in 1972, burst into tears, describing the ruling as "restoring dignity to Moroccans".
Abdelhadi Fedfane, 66, who was hired as a contractor in 1974, retired in 2010 "broken from head to toe" after decades working outside, on the tracks, repairing wagons.
"We trained the youngsters, but we remained mere assistants. It broke our morale," he said.
Lawyers for SNCF made no immediate comment on the result.
Each plaintiff will be individually informed of their result and the rail company will have a month to appeal.
During the trial SNCF's lawyer said the plaintiffs' submission was "imprecise" and argued it was perfectly legal to distinguish between permanent hires and contract workers. | A marchioness is to stand trial accused of dangerous driving after a crash involving four vehicles.

Write a summary for this information. | Conservative MP Sir Tony Baldry, the Second Church Estates Commissioner, said he was frustrated by the actions of a blocking minority in the synod.
Tory backbencher Eleanor Laing argued that the Church's "position as the established church must be called into question" as a result of the vote.
Sir Tony said this was a "good point".
There was "overwhelming support" among members of the Church of England for the introduction of women bishops, he told MPs in response to an urgent question tabled by Labour MP Diana Johnson.
Sir Tony, as Second Church Estates Commissioner, is responsible for taking questions in Parliament on Church matters and steering Church legislation through the Commons.
He noted that "94% of the bishops who voted on Tuesday voted in support of the measure, as did 77% of the House of Clergy; even in the House of Laity, 64% were in favour".
He blamed a "handful of votes amongst the laity" for the failure to secure the requisite two-thirds majority in each house of the tricameral legislative body.
"It is impossible for me to explain to parliamentary colleagues how a measure that has had the support of 42 out of the 44 dioceses failed to pass in general synod," Sir Tony said, questioning whether the election process to the House of Laity was "sufficiently representative".
Sir Tony offered to convene a meeting between concerned MPs and the incoming Archbishop of Canterbury, the Right Reverend Justin Welby.
Contrary to reports, new legislation on the subject could be introduced before 2015, he said.
"What the rules prevent is the same measure being reconsidered by general Synod without a special procedure," he explained.
"It is perfectly possible for a different and amended measure to consecrate women bishops to be considered by general Synod."
Ms Johnson said it was vital that the Church "is led by the very best, not just those who happen to be male".
"There should be no stained-glass ceiling for women in our church," she told MPs.
"The Church of England now stands to be left behind by the society it seeks to serve, looking outdated, irrelevant, and frankly eccentric by this decision.
"A broad church is being held to ransom by a few narrow minds."
Ms Laing added: "When the decision-making body of the established church deliberately sets itself against the general principles of the society which it represents then its position as the established church must be called into question."
This was "a perfectly good point", Sir Tony replied.
"What has happened as a consequence of the decision by general synod is the Church of England no longer looks like a national church, it simply looks like a sect like any other sect," he continued.
"If the Church of England wants to be a national church, then it has to reflect the values of the nation."
But he was more critical of a proposal by Labour's Chris Bryant, who called on the prime minister to bring in "a moratorium on male bishops until there could also be women bishops".
"No nomination without feminisation," he declared.
Sir Tony replied: "Of course, we could have done that if the prime minister still had control over the appointment of bishops."
Former PM Gordon Brown, the second commissioner replied, had "without any proper consultation renounced the ability of Downing Street to have any influence" over appointments.

Mark Petchey believes the money for the facility in London should have been used instead for centres across the UK - including at least one in Scotland.
"It's for a select few and we don't have enough players anyway," he said.
In response, the LTA highlighted a new strategy aimed at boosting participation by increasing spending.
Speaking this week at a tennis course at a school in Paisley, Petchey said an alternative strategy would have meant UK tennis would have now been in a "better position".
The NTC in Roehampton, South London opened in 2007 at an estimated cost of £39m. Last year, elite performers were moved from the site to other facilities across the country.
It is still home to the Davis and Fed Cup sides, the wheelchair programme and junior training camps.
Petchey, who coached Murray into the top 50 in the world, said: "I was always against the NTC being built where it was for the amount of money it was.
"I felt unfortunately that it was always going to be a white elephant and it's proved to be. For me it was the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle, not the first piece. The first piece is to increase the base.
"I think had we at the time seen what was right, which was to build maybe 15 regional centres for £2m a pop - and clearly Scotland needs to have one if not two performance centres up here for their kids - we probably would be in a better situation than we currently are from a grassroots and performance level.
"What you want is a nice problem with too many kids, not too few. It was way too much money for the amount of people it was going to cater for."
Petchey also feels whoever follows Murray will struggle with expectations, and that the UK's aim should instead be to develop several "top 100" ranked players.
"I think that's really the health of a system," Petchey explained. "Not whether we've got another Andy Murray or three Andy Murrays.
"I don't think [the LTA] have put enough money into the grassroots. I think there's been a lot of lip service and if you look at it in terms of wages and where the performance money's gone, I think it's been a very poor cousin, grassroots tennis."
An LTA spokesman told BBC Scotland: "Last year saw the launch of a new four-year strategy with a focus more than ever on participation and aims to deliver on the LTA's mission of getting 'more people playing tennis more often'.
"This strategy has the future health of our sport at the heart of it, and aims to tackle head-on the long-term trend of falling participation by setting a foundation that will help to drive sustainable growth across tennis in Britain.
"The decline will not be arrested over night and the turnaround will take time, but our collective focus on tennis provision within clubs, community (led by parks) and education settings will make our sport more accessible and more inclusive.
"Participation spending is forecasted to increase by over 50% from £17m in 2014 to £26m in 2018." | You can send us your images from Swansea's trip to Wembley

What is the summary of the following document? | In a letter, the firm rejected the minister's concerns about media plurality and broadcasting standards.
It also said she had based her view on "seriously flawed" evidence.
But it welcomed "a thorough" review and said it would work with regulators.
"21st Century Fox is confident that the transaction will be approved based on an objective assessment of the facts," said Jeffrey Palker, executive vice president at the firm.
Ms Bradley has been weighing up whether to refer the deal to Ofcom after warning it could pose "public interest considerations" that warranted further investigation.
One concern is that the merger would give businessman Rupert Murdoch too much control over the British media landscape.
This is because both Sky and Fox are controlled by Mr Murdoch, who also owns News UK, publisher of the Times and the Sun newspapers.
But in the letter, Mr Palker said the minister had not fully taken into account 21st Century Fox's decision to spin off News Corp in 2011.
He also said her "provisional view" of the deal was based on a flawed report about media plurality, prepared by campaign group Avaaz and the Media Reform Coalition.
He said: "These flaws include the misattribution of consumption of news on commercial radio to Sky... the erroneous characterisation of News Corp as the 'largest newspaper provider' and inaccurate claims that rising online readership has 'eclipsed' the dramatic decline in circulation of News Corp titles."
Ms Bradley also questioned whether the proposed deal threatened broadcasting standards, singling out "corporate governance failures" at News Corp during the phone-hacking scandal of 2011 as a cause for concern.
But Mr Palker said 21st Century Fox had transformed its corporate governance since that time.
"In fact, the level of scrutiny and controls we have imposed around the world were informed by the lessons learned in 2011," he said.
A decision to intervene would not block the deal, but trigger an Ofcom assessment as well as a Competition and Markets Authority report to be considered by Ms Bradley.

RSPCA animal collection officer John Greaves said the family, who have not been named, "had no idea they had a little stowaway on board" when they packed their bags.
He said the creature must have scampered into their clothes before being placed in the suitcase.
"They were really worried about him when they got in touch as the clothes he was inside had just been through the wash.
"They said he looked like he was dying. But he's obviously a tough little creature because he's survived his ordeal."
Experts believe the scorpion came from the Mexican desert.
"If it's an adult, then it's likely to be highly venomous due to its size and the conditions it would hunt in out in the wild," Insp Greaves added.
"It would require a very potent venom to immobilise its prey."

Crawford leaves the same position at Championship outfit Falkirk to become Robbie Neilson's number two.
Neilson told his club website he was "delighted" that the former Scotland striker would work alongside him at Tynecastle.
"He's got a great wealth of knowledge and the boys will learn from him, especially the attacking players," Neilson said.
I know that Stevie will be a big benefit to the club
Crawford, who was assistant at Falkirk since 2011, was previously player-manager at East Fife.
"I know him well as we've worked together at Falkirk, attended SFA coaching courses together and, of course, played against each other," Neilson added.
"He'll assist with developing the players and he's got a great track record of producing talented young players at Falkirk.
"He's an international striker who's had a great career in the game. In the last six or seven years he's been focusing more and more on the coaching side of things.
"I know that he'll be a big benefit to the club. I'm certain that he'll be a big benefit to the Football Academy as all the coaches, myself included, look to work closely together with all age groups."
Crawford, who enjoyed spells at Hibs and Dunfermline, earned 25 caps for Scotland.
Footage shows a microlight and a CitationJet missing each other by just a few hundred feet near Eastbourne at 13:49 GMT on 7 March.
Tom Harding, who was teaching a student in the microlight at the time, said the other plane was flying too fast.
An Airprox Board report found there had been a "serious risk of collision".
Mr Harding, a flight instructor with Flight Sport Aviation, said the Citation had been flying at a speed of 240 knots (276mph).
On spotting the other aircraft, he was able to "execute a steep turn to the right".
Student pilot Tom McNicholas recalled: "It was extremely close to us.
"You could make out the whole jet... I just couldn't believe that we got that close."
The Airprox Board said "providence had played a major part", and assessed the risk as Category A.
It said members were perplexed that the jet's onboard collision avoidance system had not triggered an alert.
They also questioned whether it would have been better had both pilots been talking to a radar controller.
Mr Harding has been commended for his robust lookout and appropriate evasive response.

Summarize the information in the following document. | Masked gunmen burst into a rented beach house on Monday, tied up and held at gunpoint six Spanish men as they attacked the women for several hours.
A seventh woman escaped after telling the attackers she was a Mexican.
Acapulco is one of Mexico's most famous beach resorts, but it has recently suffered from drug-related violence.
"The attack will not go unpunished, as we are committed to catching those responsible," said a statement from the government of Guerrero state which includes Acapulco.
"The government is in constant communication with the victims and the Spanish consular authorities to offer help," the statement added.
Most of the Spanish women are reported to be residents of Mexico who had travelled to Acapulco - on the Pacific coast - for a weekend break.
No-one has been arrested in connection with the attack on Playa Bonfil, but officials said they had leads to pursue.
"Fortunately we have strong evidence that will lead us to those responsible for this reprehensible act," Guerrero state Attorney-General Marta Garzon told Mexican radio.
Acapulco Mayor Luis Walton has apologised for causing offence after he said the attack could have happened "anywhere in the world".
The rapes are being seen as a blow to Mexico's attempts to boost its reputation as a tourist destination.
In recent years Guerrero state has been the scene of a bloody feud between rival drug trafficking gangs, but BBC Mexico correspondent Will Grant says Acapulco and its beaches have been considered relatively safe.
In the 1950s and 1960s Acapulco was a world-famous resort that attracted celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and US President John F Kennedy, who spent his honeymoon there.
These days it mainly attracts Mexican holiday makers
It's the world's biggest experiment and scientists hope will lead to a deeper understanding of how the universe works.
For the last two years, physicists have been working on an upgrade to the giant machine.
The LHC is a 16-mile-long tunnel, which sits 100m below ground on the border between France and Switzerland.
It works by smashing tiny particles together at close to the speed of light.
Actual collisions will not begin for at least another month, but they will take place with nearly double the energy the LHC reached during its first run.
"It's fantastic to see it going so well after two years and such a major overhaul of the LHC," said Rolf Heuer, director general of Cern - the European Organisation for Nuclear Research which runs the LHC.
"I am delighted and so is everyone in the Cern control centre," he added.
In 2012, the LHC produced a major breakthrough - by finding the probable explanation for why things physically exist - something scientists have been struggling with for decades.
The OPM, the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said they did not attend as the session would be on the record.
House Armed Services Committee chairman Mac Thornberry said transcription was common.
He said the incident was "disturbing".
The OPM cyber-attack, which affected personal data on more than 22 million government employees, came to light this summer.
It is believed that a variety of personal information was stolen - including more than 5.6 million employee fingerprint records.
In a joint statement, the three agencies said they had engaged in "more than a dozen classified briefings and open hearings" to keep congress updated on the issue.
"Unfortunately, we were unable to accommodate a last-minute change in the request today. We look forward to working with our partners in Congress for a briefing in the future," they added.
"OPM, Homeland Security and OMB's last-minute refusal to appear before this committee is unacceptable," said Mr Thornberry.
"Their excuse, that the testimony would be on the record, is disturbing. The committee transcribes classified briefings regularly.
"Let me be clear; this briefing covers the largest government data breach in history."
Officials from the Department of Defense and the intelligence community did attend the briefing and testified as planned.
Two breaches were discussed at the session, including one regarding the loss of personal information on employees who had applied for security clearance or had such clearance renewed since 2000.

Scientists found 4,147 sites - ranging from well-preserved forts to those where only crop marks are left.
Researchers from the University of Edinburgh, University of Oxford and University College Cork spent five years on the project.
Nearly 40% are in Scotland, with 408 in the Scottish Borders alone.
Information on all the hill forts has been collated onto a website that will be freely accessible to the public so they can discover details of the ancient sites they see in the countryside.
The University of Edinburgh's Prof Ian Ralston, who co-led the project, said: "Standing on a windswept hill fort with dramatic views across the countryside, you really feel like you're fully immersed in history.
"This research project is all about sharing the stories of the thousands of hill forts across Britain and Ireland in one place that is accessible to the public and researchers."
Prof Gary Lock, from the University of Oxford, said it was important the online database was freely available to researchers and others, such as heritage managers, and would provide the baseline for future research on hill forts.
He added: "We hope it will encourage people to visit some incredible hill forts that they may never have known were right under their feet."
In England, Northumberland leads the way with 271 hill forts, while in the Republic of Ireland, Mayo and Cork each have more than 70 sites.
Powys is the county with the most hill forts in Wales, with 147, and in Northern Ireland, Antrim has the most, with 15.
Hill forts were mostly built during the Iron Age, with the oldest dating to around 1000 BC and the most recent to 700 AD, and had numerous functions, some of which have not been fully discovered.
Despite the name, not all hill forts are on hills, and not all are forts, the experts said.
Excavations show many were used predominantly as regional gathering spots for festivals and trade, and some are on low-lying land.
The research team from the University of Edinburgh, University of Oxford and University College Cork were funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council to gather information from citizen scientists.
About 100 members of the public collected data about the hill forts they visited, identifying and recording the characteristics of forts, which was then analysed by the team.
In July 1981, a ship was trawling off the coast of Lowestoft, Suffolk, when its crew recovered a body.

Meanwhile reports said the European Commission took issue with Germany's aviation authority before the crash.
Wall Street Journal said it was told to "remedy long-standing problems".
The newspaper reported that the aviation authority, the Luftfahrtbundesamt (LBA), was told in November to sort out problems including a lack of staff which could have limited its ability to carry out checks on planes and crew.
In light of investigators believing co-pilot Andreas Lubitz crashed the plane deliberately, the way airline crew are vetted has come under scrutiny.
The European Aviation Safety Agency "had pointed out several cases of non-conformity," spokesman Dominique Fouda told AFP news agency.
A European Commission spokesman said: "All EU member states have findings and this is a normal and regular occurrence.
"It is part of a continuous system of oversight - findings are followed by corrective action, similar to an audit process."
A spokeswoman for the LBA said the authority had answered several criticisms levelled at it during the audits and those responses were now being assessed by the European Aviation Safety Agency.
France's air accident authority has said its investigations will include a study of "systemic weaknesses" that could have led to the disaster, including psychological profiling.
Lufthansa, the parent company of budget airline Germanwings, has said Lubitz disclosed that he had had severe depression in 2009 while training for his pilot's licence.
It has also emerged that he received treatment for suicidal tendencies at one point before getting his pilot's licence.
German prosecutors found torn-up sick notes at Lubitz's home, including one covering the day of the crash.
He was also found to have researched suicide methods and cockpit security on a tablet computer in the days preceding the disaster.
Lufthansa's chief executive Carsten Spohr has said he is "very very sorry that such a terrible accident could have happened" and that the airline was utterly unaware of any health issues that could have compromised Lubitz's fitness to fly.

Summarize the information in the following document. | Officers from the Environment Agency found more than 870 tonnes of electrical items, rubble and plastics at Sun Ridge Farm in Thornley.
Stuart McCarroll, who ran a skip hire business, had previously admitted breaching environmental permit rules.
The judge at Durham Crown Court jailed the 27-year-old from Thornley for eight months for the environmental offences.
He also sentenced him to a further six months for breaching a suspended sentence for a separate offence, and ordered him to pay £13,123 in costs.
McCarroll had previously pleaded guilty to four charges relating to running a waste operation otherwise than in accordance with an environmental permit, and one of incinerating waste.
The charges date from July 2014 to October 2015.
The court was told that McCarroll used the farm as a "free tipping ground."
Environment Agency officials who visited the site found piles of sorted wastes including plastics and wood, with smoke coming from a burnt area of ground, skips containing a variety of waste, and other wastes such as bricks, kitchen units, window frames and a sunbed.

Peter Beaver, who has dementia, was sentenced to three years in prison on 10 December at Winchester Crown Court.
He had pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
His wife Annie Beaver, 82, was found at their home in Havant on 23 November 2013. She died from stab wounds to the chest.

They quashed the jail term and replaced it with a suspended sentence of 24 months.
Lord Justice Gross, who described it as a "tragic case", said the original sentence was neither wrong in principle or manifestly excessive.
The court allowed the appeal on the grounds of mercy "in the light of the deterioration in the appellant's condition post-dating the sentence".
At the time of the killing Beaver was suffering from "an abnormality of the mind", as well as sleep deprivation and exhaustion.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | Prosecutors told the Old Bailey the men had acquired a gun and ammunition, and planned to buy an untraceable moped.
They researched potential west London locations online, the court heard.
Nathan Cuffy, 26, Nyall Hamlett, 25, Suhaib Majeed, 21, and Tarik Hassane, 22, from west London, deny conspiracy to murder and preparing terrorist acts.
Opening the case, prosecutor Brian Altman QC said police scuppered murderous plans borne out of a "warped ideology" when they arrested the men in the autumn of 2014.
He said Mr Hassane had used his iPad to search the Google Streetview photo-mapping service for Shepherd's Bush police station and the Parachute Regiment Territorial Army Barracks at White City.
It appeared medical student Mr Hassane and Mr Majeed were discussing the purchase of a moped that could not be traced back to them, as well as a garage to store the moped and their weapon, he added.
Mr Altman said: "The evidence points to this being a plot to kill - a plot to execute a policeman or a soldier or, as I say, even an ordinary member of the public - in one or more assassinations either involving a drive-by shooting or a shooting on foot and then a speedy escape by moped."
Mr Hassane was alleged to have been leading the plot and to have issued instructions to Mr Majeed, who was studying physics at King's College London at the time of his arrest, the court heard.
The jury was told police found four guns and ammunition in Mr Cuffy's bedroom and he has pleaded guilty to firearms offences. Mr Hamlett, said to be the alleged "middle man" who passed on a weapon to Mr Majeed, has admitted transferring the gun and ammunition.
When officers arrived at Mr Majeed's home, a gun, silencer and bullets were thrown out of his bedroom window, the court heard.
Prosecutors said there were believed to be more people involved in the plot who were not on trial.
The defendants were arrested in September 2014, except for Mr Hassane, who was studying in Sudan. Mr Altman alleged the evidence in the case suggested he was pressing on with the plot as a "lone wolf terrorist".
Mr Hassane had pledged his allegiance to the IS group and the plot received "important direct and authoritative encouragement" when the group's official spokesman issued a fatwa to kill disbelievers in the West, the prosecutor told the court.
The court heard that when Prime Minister David Cameron announced new counter-terrorism laws Mr Hassane wrote on a messaging service: "LOOOOOL David Cameron is getting himself ready for my turn up."
Police also found images on Mr Majeed's mobile phone of Mr Hassane apparently posing with a gun, and in one image he also held a book on Osama bin Laden, the jury was told.

Summarize the passage below. | The woman narrowly managed to push her son to safety before she fell into the still moving escalator on Sunday.
Investigators concluded that store staff lacked training and should have shut the machinery down earlier.
The incident in Jingzhou, in Hubei province, has sparked widespread anger at the department store.
Xiang Liujuan, 30, was travelling on an upward escalator with her son, and as she stepped onto a metal panel at the top of the escalator, it gave way, catching her and dragging her down.
CCTV footage caught her just managing to save her son before disappearing into the still rolling escalator at the Anliang department store.
Five minutes before the accident, staff members noticed that a panel had become loose, but no proper instructions were given and nobody stopped the escalator, noted the preliminary report.
"The company lacks adequate training of staff on how to deal with emergency escalator situations, and lacks practice, which led to the escalator not being shut down (before the accident)," it said.
The manufacturer, Shenlong Elevator Ltd, was criticised for the design of its product's metal panels, which investigators said could easily work their way loose.
CCTV footage reveals that as the young mother travelled on the escalator from the 6th floor to the 7th floor with her son, two staff members were standing at the top of the escalator on the 7th floor, joined by another staff member.
It's not clear if they knew that there was a problem with the escalator or not or if they gave any warnings.
According to the husband of the victim, there were no signs or any warning at the bottom of the escalator, and only when the mother and son were already reaching the top did the women shout to her about the danger, but it was too late, and his wife was dragged down before they could finish the sentence.
The victim's son is reported to have witnessed how his mother was "swallowed" by the escalator, and was telling the relatives to save her while the rescue was going on.
The death of Xiang Liujuan on what should have been an ordinary shopping trip has sparked outrage, anger and concern on social media.
Many express disbelief at what they see as a totally incompetent response to the emergency situation by the shopping centre, with one netizen asking "what's happening to China? What are the maintenance staff doing in the shopping mall"?
Others question why these accidents seem to be happening frequently, and lament the avoidable loss of life.
According to a Xinhua report, in July alone, there have been several serious incidents involving lifts and escalators across the country, causing several deaths and serious injuries.
What many find quite shocking is that since the death in Jingzhou, there have been two reported serious incidents.
On 27 July, a one-year-old boy had his left arm caught in the handrail of an escalator in Sun Square, in Guangxi's Wuzhou City. Reports say the boy might lose his arm.
On the same day, a young woman was killed when she got stuck in the gap between the floor and a goods elevator, in the southern city of Wuxi.
These incidents have put the safety of elevators and escalators once again under the spotlight. Experts point to a variety of concerns, including manufacturing defaults, over use, lack of maintenance and poor inspections.
Now Hubei quality control authorities have issued an urgent instruction to suspend the use of escalators produced by Shen Long Ltd until further notice. They have also ordered a thorough inspection of all the elevators and escalators in service.
As for the victim's relatives, they say they will not talk about compensation before they get the final results of the investigation and know who is responsible.

Can you summarize the following content in brief? | The latest floods, caused by heavy rains, have damaged roads, bridges and hundreds of homes in western Serbia and in central and northern Bosnia.
Floods in the same area in May affected nearly two million people and caused billions of euros of damage.
Many of the victims criticised the official response at the time.
Local media in Serbia say a man, aged 65, drowned after floodwaters swept through his home in Banja Koviljaca, in the west of the country.
Many homes were also flooded in the nearby town of Loznica, after the river Stira burst its banks.
Some homes also had to be evacuated in the central Serbian cities of Kragujevac and Cacak.
In the Bosnian town of Banja Luka, a man was reported missing after floodwaters swept away his car.
Some 200 homes were evacuated near the city of Tuzla, in the Gracanica region, the AFP news agency reports.

They attacked him as he walked between Glenowen Park and Forrest Park.
Police said the gun was not used during the assault, but the victim sustaining cuts and bruises to his face and body when he was hit with the bar.
Detectives at Strand Road police station have appealed for information.
The £750m refurbishment has seen a new concourse, huge atrium and Grand Central shopping complex built.
Some passengers said it was stunning and imaginative, with beautiful lines.
However, one told BBC News that platforms and trains would still be overcrowded as "aesthetics don't improve function".
Andrea Robinson also told BBC Midlands Today that she felt the station was "hideous", with "style over substance as usual with modern design".
It is the first major construction project on the station since it was redeveloped in the 1960s.
Previously known for being one of the city's concrete landmarks, the station's new mirrored shell is in stark contrast to its past, with its clear roof allowing natural light to pour in.
More escalators and lifts have been added to platforms.
When it opened in 1854, New Street featured the largest iron and glass roof in the world, but the damage it sustained during World War Two led to its 1967 concrete reincarnation.
More than 6,000 tonnes of concrete have now been removed to allow light to fall on to the concourse.
Commuter Nathan Webb told BBC News: "About time New Street got a facelift. City centre needs it."
Anna Baker added: "Stunning. Can't wait for the whole complex to be up and running. Now all we need are a few practical tweaks - a drinks fountain so travellers can fill their water bottles, and somewhere to park your bottom when the train is delayed."
On social media, there have been many positive and negative reactions as about 170,000 commuters are due to pass through on Monday ready to catch one of the trains that leave every 37 seconds.
Thomas Gregory tweeted that he got lost inside the vast complex; while Matthew Bond tweeted: "Finally, Birmingham has a station to rival any London terminal."
Jerzy Klein, who was commuting from Digbeth to Birmingham Business Park in Solihull, said there were no bins for smokers outside the entrance which led to "butts building up for months", although they have mostly been cleaned away in time for the reopening.

Pointing to crowds piling through just one of more than 10 double doors at that entrance, he said the station was still hard to navigate.
"I commute every single day and the way the station is designed, the flow of people is wrong," he said.
"Everyone is moving the same way and it is difficult to get to your platform among a river of people. Shopping centre aside, [the revamp] has not improved anything for the commute."
Andrew Mincher, an electrician at Birmingham University who commutes from Great Barr, said he was impressed but that it was "nice until you look up", referring to some overhead wiring visible in part of the station.
The redevelopment is part of a wider revamp of the city centre with a flagship John Lewis store and the Grand Central shopping complex opening on Thursday.
Andy Street, managing director of John Lewis, said it was a great time to come to the city and the new store would draw in shoppers from across the Midlands and beyond.

Mullins tweeted: "It looks like he has a little chip off a sesamoid bone which will need to be removed."
The six-year-old's withdrawal comes a week after 2015 winner and stablemate Faugheen was also ruled out of the race on 15 March.
Faugheen and Arctic Fire's injuries mean another Mullins runner, Annie Power, may now be added to the Champion Hurdle field for a supplementary fee.

Simon Brotherton: "When Marco Silva became Hull head coach in January, the Tigers were six points behind Middlesbrough. His team are now four points ahead of them in the table and will go into this encounter in a more optimistic mood than their out-of-form opponents.
"Boro didn't appear to be in trouble for most of the season, but their lack of goals and creativity has caught up with them in a big way.
"They've now gone 12 games without a win and travel to face a team with renewed hope of survival, who have won four of their five Premier League home games since Silva's arrival."
Twitter: @SimonBrotherton
Hull head coach Marco Silva: "We have a game against one of our direct opponents and we have be at 100% to win this game.
"The system we play is not the most important thing. Our intensity and performance is the most important factor."
Middlesbrough head coach Steve Agnew: "A win does change everything, and that's what we need.
"It's a huge challenge and an exciting fixture. We've had limited time on the grass, but the preparation from the final whistle at Swansea has been terrific and I can feel the players are in a good place.
"I'm quietly confident and so are the players. They'll be fully focused going into the game."
It will be interesting to see how Boro boss Steve Agnew sets his team up because this is a tough game for them - Hull had a great result at the weekend, coming back from a goal down to beat West Ham.
I know it took me until last week to tip Hull to win this season, but I think they are going to do it again, and at this rate I might be safe to venture over the Humber Bridge soon.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | The LG G Flex 2 is smaller than its predecessor and its display can now handle high-definition images.
The "self-healing" coating on its rear has also been improved to quickly repair any scratches it suffers.
Gadget-watchers were divided over the phone, with some praising its performance while others were unimpressed.
LG has not said when the phone will go on sale nor said how much it will cost.
The updated G Flex has an OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display 5.5in (14cm) in size - a half-inch smaller than the original - and the curve of the whole device is less pronounced than the first version.
LG said the self-healing coating covering the back of the phone will now seal scratches in 10 seconds or so. Earlier versions took minutes to do the same.
The OLED screen also helps make the phone very resistant to damage from being inadvertently sat or stepped on, said the firm.
Also onboard are a 13.1 megapixel camera on the handset's rear and a 2.1 megapixel camera facing forwards. Inside the phone is the latest Qualcomm 810 processor and the gadget runs LG's version of Google's Android operating system.
LG's new flexible phone is evolutionary rather than revolutionary. No great surprise since smartphone news from the big tech firms is usually held back until Barcelona's Mobile World Congress or one-off events.
While the firm focused on the new handset's faster healing skin and protection against falls, I suspect its ability to recharge quicker than before will be the advance consumers appreciate most.
But LG - like arch-rival Samsung - faces a pressing problem. Chinese manufacturers including Xiaomi, Huawei and ZTE are releasing budget-priced high-quality models that play well to the home crowd - and China is the world's biggest smartphone market. That means that average selling prices are dropping putting a squeeze on profits.
LG may have burnished its reputation for innovation with the G Flex 2, but ultimately its mid-range models are likely to prove more important to its bottom line.
Vlad Savov from tech news site The Verge liked the phone, saying the smaller size of the gadget meant it was now much easier to reach the buttons on its rear, making the whole device more usable.
Analyst Carolina Milanesi, chief of research at Kantar Worldpanel, said the original Flex did "okay" and the revision should mean it gets more attention.
However, she said, the phone's self-healing coating and its OLED screen were hard for staff to explain to customers, making it a tough sell in shops.
"The G3 has done much more for LG than the Flex has done," she said, adding that the Flex was more about showing how LG can be different, than anything else.
Ron Amadeo from tech site Ars Technica was underwhelmed with the Flex 2, saying although it was an improvement, it still did not answer any pressing consumer need.
"Every time we see a curved device, we ask 'why is it curved?' — but we have yet to get a satisfactory answer," he wrote in a hands-on review.

Please provide a summary for the content below. | Gayle was speaking to journalist Mel McLaughlin during a Big Bash League T20 match in Hobart on Monday.
"To see your eyes for the first time is nice. Hopefully we can have a drink afterwards. Don't blush baby," he said.
Gayle has said he is sorry, but that the reaction was "out of proportion".

He then said his teammate Dwayne Bravo was buying him a meal because his "pockets were empty".
He also retweeted a comment from broadcaster and cricket fan Piers Morgan, who said he was "outraged at the outrage" at Gayle being "a bit cheeky to a female TV reporter".

Gayle was answering questions from Network Ten's McLaughlin after a match when he made the remark, which was widely condemned as sexist.
The former West Indies Test captain told reporters on Tuesday: "There wasn't anything meant to be disrespectful or offensive to Mel. If she felt that way, I'm really sorry for that.
"It was a simple joke. The game was going on. Entertainment, things get out of proportion but these things happen."
McLaughlin has said his date request was "a little bit disappointing because I'm not used to seeing that".
"I don't really want to be the subject of such conversations," she told her network.
Cricket Australia boss James Sutherland said Gayle's comments could be equated with workplace harassment.
"It's not a nightclub, and I think one of the things that perhaps hasn't dawned on everyone is it's actually a workplace," he said.
Fox Sports reporter Neroli Meadows told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. that Gayle had said similar things to her and several other female reporters.
"He does this constantly... He has creepy behaviour and the way he did it to Mel was just that, and Mel knew it was going to happen," she said.
Chris Rogers, Gayle's former captain at Sydney Thunder, accused him of being a bad influence on younger players.
"This is a pattern of behaviour. If you know the guy, you see it over and over," said Rogers.
"It's not just him, there's a lot of this stuff in the sporting industry, and to defend it is not right at all."
The Melbourne Renegades said his comments were "completely inappropriate and disrespectful" and apologised to McLaughlin and to the public.
"Mel is an outstanding sports presenter," said Renegades chief executive Stuart Coventry. "We think of her very highly and the club and players will ensure we work with her in a professional and respectful manner in future."
"We've had several discussions with Chris over the past day and he has acknowledged that his comments were out of line," he said.
The A$10,000 fine will be donated to the McGrath Foundation, a breast cancer charity.
Network Ten Head of Sport David Barham said Gayle would no longer wear an on-field microphone or helmet-cam during live broadcasts.

Their sense of smell is actually one of the most powerful of any mammal.
In the wild, African elephants use their massive trunks - packed full of special receptors - to help them sniff out family members keeping their herd together.
On one wildlife reserve in South Africa they've spent years training his elephants to put their sense of smell to good use for humans.
Over two years the team carried out the same exercise, and remarkably the elephants were able to pick out the explosive scent.
The US military heard about the work and sent a team of scientists to the reserve to find out how the creatures intense sense of smell could be used to search landmines across the world.
While these beautiful mammals won't be used to sniff out bombs on the battle field anytime soon, it's hoped the US military will be able to build better bomb detectors for the future. | Elephants are being trained to use their exceptional sense of smell to sniff out explosives in the South African countryside. |

Felix Stoica, 19, Forin Geblescu, 18, and Piper Dumitri 18, admitted stealing a total of £1,100 by pushing people aside while they were taking out money.
The men were brought to Glasgow Sheriff Court after being sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court last year.

Summarize the information in the following section. | The charity said there was "not a clear need" to have a separate facility so close to its Eyemouth station.
It said it was confident the area could be safely covered by an extra boat provided at Eyemouth.
Campaigners opposing the closure are now looking at setting up an independently-run station.
The RNLI said the St Abbs lifeboat only launched about nine times a year, with a third of those being joint services with Eyemouth.
It said the new boat could reach St Abbs in "five to 10 minutes, depending on conditions".
Operations director George Rawlinson said: "Closing a lifeboat station is never an easy thing to do and this decision was made only after extensive research that considered the location of existing search and rescue assets and changing patterns of sea use.
"The review concluded that the area should be covered from one lifeboat station, rather than two stations so close together.
"St Abbs and Eyemouth are only two miles apart - and the coastline can be covered by placing an inshore lifeboat alongside the all-weather lifeboat already stationed at Eyemouth."
Mr Rawlinson said the charity was "very aware" of the impact of such change on local communities and did not take such decisions lightly.
However, he said it had to be mindful of its responsibility to make best possible use of donations.
"I know that this is a sad day for the community of St Abbs and the lifeboat station - the lifeboat station has served the RNLI proudly for over 100 years," he said.
"I'd like to take the opportunity to thank them for their support, service and commitment to saving lives at sea."
Opponents said the decision to close was "an error of judgement, based on flawed data".
They have argued lives will be put at risk due to the extra time needed to get from Eyemouth to St Abbs.
They also delivered a 13,000-signature petition against the move to the RNLI.
Earlier this week, campaigners announced plans to look at delivering an "entirely independent" lifeboat station in the village.
The RNLI said it would be happy to work alongside such a station as it does with others around the coasts of the UK and Ireland.

Summarize the following piece. | Once Brazil's richest man, he has been accused of paying millions of dollars in bribes to secure contracts with Rio's state government.
Mr Batista has denied any wrongdoing.
He has promised to help the authorities in their efforts to tackle corruption which he says is widespread in Brazil.
Before boarding the plane and turning himself in to police, Mr Batista said he was returning to Brazil to clear his name.
"I'm at the disposal of the courts," he told O Globo newspaper in New York. "As a Brazilian, I am doing my duty."
Under Brazilian law, Mr Batista would have been sent to a special prison wing if he had a university degree.
But as he dropped out before finishing his engineering degree in Germany, he will be serving time in an ordinary cell with six other inmates at the Bangu penitentiary.
Many Brazilian jails are overcrowded and controlled by criminal gangs.
The authorities in Rio say, however, that is not the case at Bangu.
Mr Batista was met by police as he landed in Rio on Monday morning.
He was escorted off the plane and initially taken to the Ary Franco prison in Rio.
After undergoing medical exams and having his hair cut short, he was transferred to the high security prison in the outskirts of the city.
Mr Batista was declared a fugitive by Brazilian officials after police raided his estate in Rio de Janeiro last week and found he had left for New York just hours earlier.
BBC South America business correspondent Daniel Gallas says there was much speculation on whether Mr Batista would return to Brazil or use his German passport to flee to Europe.
But Mr Batista said the trip to New York was not an attempt on his part to flee justice.
He is now due to be questioned about his alleged involvement in a corruption ring involving powerful business people and influential politicians in Rio de Janeiro state.
Investigators accuse Mr Batista of paying the then-governor of the state, Sergio Cabral, $16.5m (£13.2m) in bribes to win government contracts.
Mr Cabral was arrested in November as part of a larger corruption investigation dubbed Operation Car Wash.
As a result of Operation Car Wash, more than 100 people, including Brazil's most powerful building tycoon, Marcelo Odebrecht, have been convicted of crimes such as bribery, racketeering and money-laundering. | Former Brazilian oil and mining tycoon Eike Batista has been transferred to a high security prison in Rio de Janeiro after being arrested on arrival from New York. |

After missing day two, having returned home for a family emergency, Trott came in at number eight with the Bears in real strife on their overnight 49-6.
He then hit 101, his 43rd first-class century, sharing a 104-run stand with the ever reliable Barker (63).
But the Bears were bowled out for 254 and, following on, are now 75-2.
After a first-innings failure, Bears skipper Ian Bell is on 47, having so far put on 66 runs for the third wicket with Trott, who ended on a dogged 17, having lasted 83 balls so far in his second innings of the day.
Earlier, Trott also had help in a last-wicket stand of 54 with young spinner Sunny Singh, who made 16 not out, having not scored a first-class run in his previous two innings.
Warwickshire still trail Hampshire by 186 runs going into the final day, with eight wickets in hand, but Trott's watchful ton, his third of the season, has at least given the Bears a chance of saving the game.
Other than 14 balls at the start of Warwickshire's second innings, Trott batted for the entire day.
Hampshire head coach Craig White told BBC Solent:
"It was a brilliant day's cricket. You have to give all the credit to Jonathan Trott as he has played outstandingly well in the circumstances.
"We were hoping the pitch might deteriorate a little bit more as the spin is slightly slow. The boys stuck at it well and tomorrow is a massive morning. For them to get level it will be close to two sessions.
"We need to break this partnership early and keep chipping away as there maybe some rain in the afternoon. It is one of those wickets where you can survive but trying to score runs and build a total is very hard."
Warwickshire batsman Jonathan Trott told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire:
"We managed to manipulate well and have given ourselves a chance. We ended up getting two batting points as well, so that might count for something at the end of the season.
"The tail stuck around nicely, especially Sunny Singh. In just his first couple of games he's done well. It's the first time I've thought I have to keep my pads on without a break as I was back in.
"We batted well tonight. Ian came in and made it look easy. It is quite hard at the non-strikers watching him bat so well. It is a sign of a side willing to fight." | Oxford United manager Michael Appleton believes there is more to come from his side after they secured their first victory in League One on Saturday.

Leading 1-5 to 0-2 after playing with a first-half wind advantage, Senan Kilbride tagged on a further Roscommon point after the restart but Monaghan were back in the game moments later as Dermot Malone struck a goal.
Two Thomas Kerr points helped Monaghan cut Roscommon's lead to 1-7 to 1-5 by the 50th minute and after Fintan Cregg's replied for the home side, points from Daniel McKenna, keeper Rory Beggan and Neil McAdam levelled the contest in the 62nd minute.
Cregg edged Roscommon ahead again with a minute of normal time left but Malone levelled immediately and McManus' injury-time goal broke the home team's resistance as McKenna tagged on another Monaghan point despite McAdam's dismissal seconds earlier.

General secretary candidate Len McCluskey met managers and shop stewards at the plant.
It is five months since Ford announced cut backs on its planned investment in the new Dragon engine but it said 1,850 workers would not be affected.
Mr McCluskey told BBC Wales he hoped it would not come to industrial action.
But he said he wants assurances about its future and added that the union would do everything it could to save the plant.
"There is a fair amount of pessimism about what the company plans," said Mr McCluskey. "Is there a hidden agenda to close the plant?
"We want them to demonstrate that there isn't and that they're working hard for product replacement and we'll work hard with them."
A mass meeting will be held on 1 March if the union does not hear from the company.
Ford announced in 2015 that Bridgend would be making its new Dragon petrol engine, with the aim of producing 250,000 engines a year.
The Welsh Government promised £15m state aid on the condition 500 jobs would be secured.
And on Tuesday, Economy Secretary Ken Skates told the Senedd the Welsh Government would work with all stakeholders to ensure the factory had a future.
The plant currently makes 250,000 engines a year for Jaguar Land Rover and also 500,000 of Ford's own Sigma engines but it is due to stop producing both in 2018.
Last September, Ford announced Dragon production would be cut to 125,000 engines a year and investment would reduce from £181m to £100m.
It said there had been "fluctuations" in global demand, predicting that required numbers of the new engine would be "lower than originally planned". However, Ford said the 1,850 workforce would not be affected.
Bridgend has a capacity to produce three times what the original Dragon deal offered and concern by unions has intensified that it signals the start of a run down of the plant.
Mr McCluskey said it starts to raise "serious doubts" about whether a plant of this size could be sustained producing such small volumes. | Conor McManus' late goal helped seal Monaghan's 2-10 to 1-9 opening Division 1 win over Roscommon as the Farney men fought back from seven points down.

What is the summary of the provided article? | Desmond D'Mello's alleged failings include reusing dirty gloves on different patients and failing to decontaminate dental instruments.
Some 22,000 former patients of his Nottinghamshire practice were recalled.
He is now seeking voluntary "erasure" from the General Dental Council (GDC) register.
Source: General Dental Council
The GDC has not yet made a decision on his application and Mr D'Mello continues to be suspended while he is investigated.
A GDC document states the case against Mr D'Mello is "serious" and his alleged cross infection failures were "wide ranging, persistent and are described as wilful".
"He allegedly placed his patients at risk, including children and the elderly," the document states.
Thousands of his former patients have been tested for blood borne viruses, and five tested positive for hepatitis C.
One of his patients, Amy Duffield, died shortly after treatment, but a coroner concluded her death was not connected to the treatment.
Mr D'Mello was first registered to work in December 1977 after qualifying from a dentistry course in Manchester.
Concerns about him were raised after his associate dentist covertly filmed him from 3 to 6 June last year.
The recording suggests Mr D'Mello was failing to implement what the GDC describes as "appropriate cross infection control".
As well as reusing dirty gloves and not decontaminating dental instruments, Mr D'Mello's alleged failings include not wiping down surfaces between patients, and placing dirty instruments on patient record cards before reusing them.
He was suspended for 18 months on 27 August 2014.
A review hearing was held on 10 July and the committee decided his suspension should continue until 26 February 2016.
Officers on the Gold Coast tourist strip raided the home just after Christmas, seizing hydroponic cannabis from a locked room.
Police held the family at the house for five hours while they were questioned.
The family told the BBC they were asked not to enter the room, which had been blocked with a bookcase, because it was undergoing renovations.
The sound of water rushing through pipes raised their suspicions, but they did not try to enter the room.
Jacquie Young and her partner Dieter Winkler were expecting extended family to arrive at the house when eight plain-clothed officers carrying guns and crowbars arrived at the front door.
"I think we'll be able to laugh about it soon, but at the moment I'm still a bit annoyed because we were so looking forward to the holiday," Ms Young said.
Officers told Ms Young and Mr Winkler that the wiring in the room was "dodgy" and could have caused a fire at any moment.
"A week late I'm still absolutely gobsmacked that people can be so aware of what they're doing and so selfish ... but putting people's live at risk is a really despicable act," she said.
"My middle son was really shell shocked, he just wanted to come home. It was quite frightening."
A 40-year-old woman is expected to face court in February.
Airbnb confirmed the family was refunded A$1800 ($1261; £860) and offered reimbursement for their alternative accommodation.
"While incidents like this are incredibly rare, we take them very seriously... There is absolutely no place for this sort of activity on Airbnb and this property has been banned," a spokesperson for the lodging website said in a statement.
Mekki, 25, played 59 times for Rovers across two seasons, scoring four goals.
Former Crystal Palace youngster Gregory, 22, joined Cambridge last summer but made just two appearances as he deputised for Will Norris.
Meanwhile, winger Louis Dennis, 24, has penned a new Bromley deal after scoring seven in 25 games this term.
The 33-year-old aggravated a recurring foot injury during a pre-season training session on Friday.
He will miss the first four to six weeks of the 2017 campaign.
"I'm looking forward to getting back onto the playing field as soon as possible and contributing to a successful team," Azharullah said. | A dentist whose alleged poor hygiene sparked the "biggest recall in NHS history" has volunteered to stop working in the UK.
