Summarize the information in the following document. | It found errors in security operations but said they were not "significant enough to have made a difference".
The parliamentary inquiry highlighted one online exchange - understood to have been on Facebook - the agencies did not have access to that MPs said might have enabled them to stop the attack.
The soldier was killed in May 2013.
Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale drove into the 25-year-old before hacking him to death, near Woolwich Barracks, in London.
Prime Minister David Cameron said the Intelligence and Security Committee report had raised "significant areas of concern".
The committee spent 18 months examining the actions of MI5, MI6 and GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) regarding the two men and produced the most detailed report it has ever published.
Adebolajo and Adebowale appeared in seven different agency investigations - for the most part as low-level subjects of interest - and the report identifies a number of serious delays and potential missed opportunities.
They include:
The report found the two murderers were in contact 39 times between 11 April and 22 May 2013 - including seven attempted calls and 16 text messages on the day before the attack.
But "none of these text messages revealed any indication of attack planning or indeed anything of significance".
The report's conclusion was "given what the agencies knew at the time, they were not in a position to prevent the murder of Fusilier Rigby".
However, the committee flagged up an online exchange between Adebowale and an overseas extremist, which only came to light after the attack.
In the exchange from December 2012, Adebowale expresses his intent to murder a soldier in a "graphic and emotive" manner.
The report does not name the company that hosted the exchange but the BBC understands it was Facebook.
Committee chairman Sir Malcolm Rifkind said the online exchange was "highly significant".
"Had MI5 had access to this exchange at the time, Adebowale would have become a top priority," he said.
"There is then a significant possibility that MI5 would have been able to prevent the attack."
A Facebook spokesman said: "Like everyone else, we were horrified by the vicious murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby.
"We don't comment on individual cases but Facebook's policies are clear, we do not allow terrorist content on the site and take steps to prevent people from using our service for these purposes."
By Gordon Corera, BBC security correspondent
This remarkably detailed report finds fault with all three British intelligence agencies.
Each made mistakes. Investigations were not prioritised, reports not passed on.
And yet the conclusion argues that even with these in mind the attack could not have been stopped.
The committee denies that it was generous in its conclusions.
The signs are though that this report may be used as part of the government's push to gain more access to communications since it argues the strongest evidence came from a US internet company that did not pass on a crucial online exchange.
The report did not lay the blame with the agencies but the "company on whose system the exchange took place".
"This company does not regard themselves as under any obligation to ensure that they identify such threats, or to report them to the authorities," he said.
"We find this unacceptable: however unintentionally, they are providing a safe haven for terrorists. "
Sir Malcolm said even if the agencies had sought access - under a warrant - before the attack, the company might not have responded.
"None of the major US companies we approached proactively monitor and review suspicious content on their systems, largely relying on users to notify them of offensive or suspicious content.
"We also found that none of them regard themselves as compelled to comply with UK warrants obtained under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.
"This is of very serious concern: the capability of the agencies to access the communications of their targets is essential to their ability to detect and prevent terrorist threats in the UK."
The committee's findings were published the day after a warning by Home Secretary Theresa May about the level of terrorist threat the country faces, and a day before new counter-terrorism powers are published.
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner said within hours of the report being published, it was being used to give the government support for the bill it wants to introduce to force internet companies to keep data available to police and intelligence agencies.
"Adebowale had already been blocked from other internet service providers because his content was too extremist but this particular one did not report him," he said.
Human rights group Liberty said the ISC had "shamelessly" spun the facts in order to shift the blame on to communications companies.
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said it had turned very swiftly from controversy over the role of the security agencies into a fully-blown political furore over the role of this committee and the government.
"The committee is already facing accusations of glossing over failings of the security services," he said.
"The Labour chairman of the home affairs committee wants to interview the security chiefs before his committee because he doesn't feel the intelligence committee has done a good enough job."
He added that a senior Conservative MP on the intelligence committee had expressed concern that the report's criticisms of the internet companies had been leaked in advance.
The prime minister had asked the committee to carry out the investigation following Fusilier Rigby's death.
Responding to the report in the Commons, he announced £130m in funding to improve the agencies' capability to combat "self-starting" terrorists - also known as lone wolf attackers.
He also said internet firms had a "social responsibility" to prevent their networks being used to "plot murder and mayhem".
Adebolajo was sentenced in February to a whole-life term and Adebowale was jailed for a minimum of 45 years for the killing. They were 29 and 22 years old respectively when sentenced. | The murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby could not have been prevented despite his killers appearing in seven intelligence investigations, a report has found. |
What is the summary of the following article? | Wayne Rooney had a goal ruled out for offside as Louis van Gaal's United made a blistering start before Newcastle responded through Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The Serbia striker headed against the United bar before Newcastle's Tim Krul denied Javier Hernandez.
Chris Smalling headed against the Newcastle post in the closing moments.
Louis van Gaal's side started and finished well but were left frustrated as Newcastle survived the home side's early attacks and came close to taking the lead themselves.
Newcastle boss Steve McClaren, the former Manchester United assistant manager, could have been celebrating the perfect return to Old Trafford but new signing Florian Thauvin narrowly failed to connect with Papiss Cisse's ball across the six-yard area in added time.
Van Gaal saw his side put heavy pressure on Newcastle's goal with 20 shots. Inside the first 20 minutes alone, the hosts had more shots on target - four - than they managed in their opening two league games.
Seven points from three games is a satisfactory return, while Manchester United have yet to concede in 270 minutes of Premier League action.
But it is at the other end of the pitch where their problems lie, two goals in three games against Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle highlighting a lack of cutting edge.
Juan Mata, Rooney, Morgan Schneiderlin, and even defender Luke Shaw, all had great chances but were denied by a combination of great goalkeeping from Krul and poor finishing.
Rooney was narrowly offside when he beat Krul with a fine finish in the fourth minute.
Yet the England man's performance mirrored that of his team - hungry and bright at the start before fading.
He is without a goal for his club since 4 April but Rooney has not been helped by a lack of pace around him.
McClaren has endured an unspectacular start to his reign at Newcastle, the Magpies arriving at Old Trafford on the back of a home draw against Southampton and an away defeat by Swansea.

Yet they produced enough evidence over the 90 minutes to show they will be no soft touches this season.
Having survived the home side's early barrage, Newcastle looked the most likely to score, with Mitrovic so close with his header.
When the hosts were at their most dangerous, Newcastle defended bravely with Fabricio Coloccini leading by example with some vital challenges.
Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal: "We can be satisfied with the performance but not with the result - we were unlucky.
Media playback is not supported on this device
"We did not make the right choices in the final third but we played fantastic as a team. I like these kind of games when we work like this, but not this result.
"The performance was one of the best in my period but we don't reward ourselves and there was only one club that wanted to win and that was us."
Newcastle United manager Steve McClaren: "We're disappointed. We knew the first 20 minutes would be theirs but we grew in belief and we should have scored.
"The defending and discipline was superb but we really could have nicked it - we had the chances but didn't take them.
"We're far from where we want to be and there a lot of areas we need to improve on but we'll get better as the weeks go on." | Manchester United's 100% winning start to the season ended as Newcastle United produced a battling display to secure their second point of the campaign. |
Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | To find out, the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme has organised a series of political first dates for the general election campaign.
Businesswoman Gina Miller become the figurehead in the case to get Parliament to vote on the Brexit process, while former UKIP MEP Godfrey Bloom is known for his controversial remarks.
They went into the meal without knowing who they would be meeting.
But did they get on?
Gina Miller
Describe yourself: I'm Gina Miller, an investment manager and philanthropist - but I'm probably best known for taking the government to court over triggering Article 50 without a vote in Parliament.
Background: I was born in what was British Guiana but came to the UK at the age of 10 and have lived here ever since. I wanted to enter the world of law but ended up going into business and I've now launched my seventh company.
Political beliefs: My voting history has been Labour but I admit on this occasion I will be voting Lib Dem. I think we need to put aside our tribalism and, because it's all about Brexit, I think the Lib Dem candidate in my constituency has the best chance of holding the government to account.
How was your date?: Not what I was expecting. It was a bit of a surprise to see who it was. I thought it would be someone like Michael Gove - someone nearer my age, not that much older! A toy boy would have been fine.
First impression: I think his bark is worse than his bite. Once you sit down with someone and have a conversation you can make people much more understanding of where you come from. I think he already had quite set views on who I was and what I stood for, but I hope I got him to a much more reasonable place.
What did you agree on?: I was very surprised how vigorously anti-Theresa May he was. We both had doubts about her ability to do the job and head up negotiations.
What did you disagree on?: He doesn't think the EU is capable of evolving. We disagree on that completely. He seemed so emotionally attached to Brexit as an issue. I felt there was a bit of anger about me being involved with it - as in how dare you presumptuous young woman speak out on this issue.
And I think he sees women as a negative rather than a positive in the workplace. If I'd pushed him more on his views on women in the workplace we would have got into disagreement. I was tempted to ask him about his comments that women don't clean behind the fridge enough. But if I'd gone into the room angry and aggressive I'd probably just be confirming his views.
Best thing: I was very glad that he didn't shout at me or belittle me. I've had that on numerous occasions from other people. I think it's a good thing when people with different perspectives can have a conversation. I came away thinking it was really good to have done it.
Awkward moments: When he asked me why I wasn't campaigning when we went into the EU - that made me smile. I've had that comment before. I was 10 at the time, I was in school!
Describe him in three words: Rigid, pompous, removed.
Marks out of 10: The lunch was eight out of 10, him probably four or five.
Watch the Victoria Derbyshire programme on weekdays between 09:00 and 11:00 BST on BBC Two and the BBC News Channel.
Godfrey Bloom
Describe yourself: I'm Godfrey Bloom and I was an MEP for Yorkshire for 10 years. I'm a research economist by profession. I was a founder member of UKIP and a fairly significant donor.
Political beliefs: My political views are classic liberal in the old sense. One might almost suggest Gladstonian. I am not a conservative, I'm not a socialist, there is nothing much for me in this election to vote for.
How was your date? Tremendous. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Absolutely great fun.
What did you talk about? Obviously Brexit. We talked about the exit strategy - that was a fundamental point of disagreement. I believe that sooner or later we're just going to have to walk away. She believes they want to reform. But then I'm old, I'm cynical, she might be right.
What did you agree on? We agreed on women, we don't believe in quotas for women. We both believe in promotion for women, we both believe in supporting women in business, but for the same reasons - and that is from professional expertise, merit.
Was there anything about Gina Miller that surprised you? No, because I happened to catch an interview she did with Nigel Farage and I thought 'she'll leave you punching air if you're not careful. If you get hostile and sort of look a bit blokey, a bit rugby club-y, it won't cut the mustard here'. I hope I'm enough of a gentleman not to have done that.
What was her most convincing argument? I think she convinced me that the private citizen does have a role to play, whether you're in an elected position or not.
Did she say anything that made you angry? No, not at all, as there was too much area of agreement, because every time we might disagree with each other, and get a bit feisty, we moved on to something else on which we agreed.
Best thing about her? There was no worst thing actually and I think it would be ungallant of me to say so even if there were.
Would you willing to see her again? Yes, I'd be delighted, if she were paying. I'm just an old age pensioner now, I can't afford it.
Describe her in three words: Can I do it in four words? Clubbable, for a woman. I suppose nobody uses the word any more do they? It means somebody you'd be relaxed about going out with and having a pint. Although she clearly isn't the sort of person that drinks pints, but I'd be very happy to.
Marks out of 10? It seemed like a 10 but then I haven't seen the edited edition. I haven't been yet done up like a kipper, have I?

Saudi Arabia earlier denied allegations from the rebel Houthi-run government that the coalition was responsible.
The attack targeted the funeral of the father of Houthi-appointed Interior Minister Galal al-Rawishan.
The Saudi-led coalition said in a statement: "The coalition will immediately investigate this case along with the Joint Incidents Assessment Team in Yemen and experts from the United States who participated in previous investigations."
It referred to "reports about the regrettable and painful bombing" in Sanaa, before adding: "The coalition confirms that its troops have clear instructions not to target populated areas and to avoid civilians."
The US said it had launched an "immediate review" of its already-reduced support for the coalition.
White House National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said US co-operation with Saudi Arabia was "not a blank cheque".
He said that while the US was focused on achieving an end to the conflict in Yemen, Washington was "prepared to adjust our support so as to better align with US principles, values and interests".
Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam said the attack was an act of "genocide".
UN humanitarian co-ordinator for Yemen, Jamie McGoldrick, condemned Saturday's strikes on the funeral gathering as a "horrific attack".
He said that aid workers who arrived at the scene had been "shocked and outraged".
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it had prepared 300 body bags.

William Robertson, from North Berwick, received the Insignia of Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur.
It was presented by French Consul General Emmanual Cocher.
The 90-year-old's unit was the 5/7th Gordon Highlanders, one of the battalions of 153 Brigade of the 51st Highland Division.
Mr Robertson received the medal at a ceremony in the Hope Rooms, North Berwick.
He said: "I was an enthusiastic 18-year-old Private in the Gordon Highlanders when we crossed the English Channel to France, and saw actions in Belgium, Holland and Germany - including the night assault crossing of the River Rhine on 23 May 1945."
Mr Robertson went to Perth Academy before becoming an articled clerk in London with his uncle's firm, moving on to work for Dunlop and marrying in Perth in 1953.
He was then posted to Rhodesia in 1961 where he became a director of the company 11 years later and he and his wife returned to the UK in 1986.
That is currently $7.25 (£4.90) an hour, but individual states can set their own rates.
The move will only benefit staff at company-owned outlets - about 10% of McDonald's 14,000 US restaurants.
In a statement, the firm said employees covered by the new policy will be paid more than $10 per hour by 2016.
The rate is still short of the increase sought by campaigners in recent months.
The move follows a similar one by retailing giant Wal-Mart.
Franchisees who run around 90% of outlets set their own pay and benefits but this could prompt some of these to improve their own terms.
One analyst said this could help offset the cost of the wage rise for the parent company.
"They'll try to paint this as altruistic, but they're increasing their corporate income by doing this. It's not as nice as it sounds," said Richard Adams, a former McDonald's franchisee who now acts as a consultant for current ones.

Jones said it had been "a bad year".
Inspector Raf Ali, of Erewash Borough Council, told Derby Magistrates' Court: "The officer, whilst standing in the kitchen area, saw a mouse run from one side of the fridges under a table where a microwave stood."

Mouse droppings were found on the kitchen floor, under a stainless steel table and dishwashing machine, magistrates were told.
There was "a significant amount of dirt and debris" on the floor, as well as rodent faeces.

Mr Kinnock said loyalty was a difficult issue for Mr Corbyn, who often defied the whip before he was leader.
Mr Kinnock told BBC Wales' Good Morning Wales programme: "What we are seeing is the Labour Party going into uncharted territory.
"We have a leader who, of course, has a track record when he was on the back benches of defying the whip, I think 550 times.
"I think there's a sort of an in principle expectation that you follow the whip, whether you're on the back benches or the front bench.
"Jeremy didn't do that and that is something which is, I think, a factor in all of this because it is quite difficult for him to conduct a loyalty driven reshuffle given his own track record.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | War movie Man Down, which also stars Gary Oldman, Jai Courtney and Kate Mara, made £7 on its opening weekend.
Or - to put it another way - the film sold one adult ticket.
To put that into perspective, Beauty and the Beast took a further £6.75m over the weekend.
Why so low? Well, to be fair, it did only open in one place: the Reel Cinema in Burnley.
The screening was held to coincide with the film's simultaneous release on digital platforms.
The cinema has since told the BBC it has sold a further four tickets - including two on Wednesday.
And while the popularity of the film has not gone through the roof, the staff member said there had been "quite a few" calls from the media.
The film's appearance in just one cinema is likely to have been done to secure reviews in the media.
But Man Down has not fared well with the critics. The Daily Telegraph says Man Down is a "bomb site of a film" and gave it one star, while The Guardian's two-star review calls it "irredeemable".
The i is slightly more favourable, giving the film three stars. It is "impossible to fault Shia LaBeouf's commitment to the lead role" of an ex-marine who has post-traumatic stress disorder, its writer says.
Other films released last weekend that only opened at one cinema include Guru, which grossed £17, and horror film The Void, which grossed £1,163, according to figures from the British Film Institute.
And last year, Beauty and the Beast and Harry Potter actress Emma Watson's film Colonia, also known as The Colony, made just £47 over its opening weekend in the UK.
But we still have an unanswered question: who was the one LaBeouf fan who bought that ticket?

Write a summary of this document. | An unidentified object was spotted on Monday within Finnish territorial waters. It was detected again early on Tuesday, the navy said.
The incident comes amid growing concern in the region over Russia's military exercises.
In October, Sweden launched a hunt for a foreign submarine suspected to have entered waters near Stockholm.
Navy operations chief Commodore Olavi Jantunen told Helsingin Sanomat newspaper that the depth charges, dropped at 03:00 on Tuesday (midnight GMT), were meant only as a warning.
"The bombs are not intended to damage the target, the purpose is to let the target know that it has been noticed."
Defence Minister Carl Haglund said the object seen in the Baltic Sea this week could have been a submarine.
"We strongly suspect that there has been underwater activity that does not belong there. Of course it is always serious if our territorial waters have been violated," he told Finnish news agency STT.
Commodore Jantunen was more cautious, telling Finnish public broadcaster YLE only that the sightings involved a "possible underwater object".
Finland has become increasingly worried about the military exercises of neighbouring Russia. The two countries share a 1,300km (800 mile) border.
But the defence minister did not say whether he thought Russia was involved.
Finnish Border Guard ship Turva patrolled the waters off Helsinki on Tuesday
Finnish media reported that although the target was believed to have left the area, the investigation into the incident would continue.
Finland had a close eye on its waters and it had gathered useful information about the target for further investigation, Commodore Jantunen said.
Finland is not part of Nato but it has strengthened its ties with the Western military alliance since the Ukraine crisis.
Earlier in April, Finland also agreed to increase defence co-operation with other Nordic countries in response to Russia's activity in Ukraine.
Last October, Sweden launched a week-long search for a suspected submarine in its waters.
Naval vessels and planes scoured the Stockholm archipelago, amid suspicions that a Russian submarine was in trouble there.

Can you summarize the following content in brief? | A review of Southern Health NHS Trust found it only investigated 37% of deaths over a four-year period.
Problems came to light in 2013 when a man at a care facility in Oxford drowned in a bath having had an epileptic fit.
The trust said all deaths since December have now been reviewed.
According to a new report conducted by the trust, all 259 deaths since then were reviewed by a clinical panel which decided whether a full investigation was required.
The report said: "We have made extensive changes to the way we record and investigate deaths of any patient who use services."
NHS Improvement - the new body in charge of monitoring the quality of trusts - has taken regulatory action against Southern Health and will continue assessing the trust for some time.
A report commissioned by NHS England, published in December 2015, discovered that only 272 of the 722 deaths in the trust over the previous four years were investigated.
There were further calls for resignations among the trust's leadership at a meeting of Oxfordshire County Council's .

Medical director of Southern Health, Lesley Stevens told the meeting there had been an "enormous amount of pressure and scrutiny" around the leadership of the organisation.
"We know what we need to do here. We've got a lot of external scrutiny, we're providing a lot of assurance around the improvement on safety of our services. We want to get on and deliver it."
The council and Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group had previously decided not to renew Southern Health's contract to provide services for people with learning disabilities due to "quality and performance concerns".

Give a concise summary of the following information. | Households will pay an average of £388 from April 2013 to March 2014.
Ofwat chief executive Regina Finn said that she understood that households were facing financial pressures.
But she said that the increase, half a percentage point higher than the rate of inflation, was not as high as the water companies had wanted.
"Back in 2009, companies wanted bills rises of 10% above inflation. That didn't chime with what customers told us they wanted, so we said they could only increase bills in line with inflation," Ms Finn said.
"We understand that there is huge pressure on household incomes, and any rise is unwelcome. Inflation is driving these increases."
"We will make sure customers get value for money and if companies fall short in delivering their investment promises, we will take action."
The new charges will vary for households depending on their supplier and whether they have a water meter.
On average, households will see their water bill rise by about £13 for the year from April.
Thames Water will see the biggest percentage rise in water and sewerage bills with an increase of 5.5%, leaving households with an average bill of £354, according to Ofwat.
Other customers to see larger than average rises include those of Southern Water, with bills rising by 5.3% with an average payment of £449. Households supplied by Wessex Water will face an average bill of £478 - an increase of 4.9%.
The increased bills will contribute to investment programme worth about £25bn between 2010 and 2015, the regulator added.
Those supplied by South West Water will see bills fall by 7.3% after the government pledged contributions to reduce each household's bill by £50. However, water and sewerage bills in the region remain the highest in the country, with households paying an average of £499.
Last year, prices rose by 5.7%, owing to the higher level of inflation.
However, the Consumer Council for Water, a watchdog which represents customers, suggested that this inflation link had allowed companies to make excessive returns.
"Water companies are making higher profits than expected and they need to give some of this back to their customers," said Dame Yve Buckland, who chairs the watchdog.
"They can limit their own prices or invest more money into services. They should not keep it all for shareholders and investors." | The average household water and sewerage bill in England and Wales is to rise by 3.5% over the next year, regulator Ofwat has said. |

Wales had come back to draw 2-2 through goals from Gareth Furlong and Ben Carless and won 4-2 in the shoot-out.
They face France in their final group game on Tuesday,
A top-two finish in the eight-team tournament would lift them in the rankings and give them a chance of a first World Cup appearance.
The World League is a series of tournaments held over a two-year period with the latest edition running from Saturday 11 to Sunday 19 March in Belfast.
The final group standings decide the knockout fixtures and the two teams who reach the final will go through to the next round of the World League in London in June.
Our car got stuck behind dozens of buses organised by Mr Erdogan's supporters.
They had been able to call in tens of thousands of demonstrators from across the country - and drive them to and from the rally.
At this point, it became clear that the prime minister would defeat protesters who had taken over Istanbul's Gezi Park.
The protesters were angry. But the prime minister was organised. In Turkey, organisation wins.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan now finds himself facing an opponent who is just as organised as he is: Fethullah Gulen.
The struggle between the two men poses a threat to Mr Erdogan's undeclared ambition to run for the presidency in 2014.
Fethullah Gulen is an Islamic scholar who founded an influential social and cultural network which now includes more than 900 schools in Turkey.
Profile: Fethullah Gulen's Hizmet movement
Mr Gulen himself has lived in self-imposed exile in the US since 1999. His followers hold senior positions in the Turkish police and judiciary.
For years, the Gulenist movement worked alongside Recep Tayyip Erdogan's alliance of the working class and religious and business communities.
This broad alliance won Mr Erdogan three general elections.
The Gulen movement's loyalists formed their own informal faction within the ruling AK Party.
In recent years, the Gulenists helped the prime minister to reduce the power of the armed forces.
But, during the Gezi Park protests in June, differences between Mr Erdogan and the Gulenist movement began to emerge.
Mr Gulen's supporters accused the prime minister of governing in an authoritarian manner - a charge Mr Erdogan dismissed.
Then, in November, the government announced plans to get rid of private schools which help students to prepare for university exams, including those run by Mr Gulen's movement.
This began the period of open conflict between allies of the prime minister and those loyal to Fethullah Gulen.
On 17 December, the police carried out dawn raids against leading businessmen and allies of the prime minister.
Many here believe that these raids were orchestrated by Gulenists in the police and the judiciary.
In June 2013, Recep Tayyip Erdogan survived the challenge posed by opposition demonstrators.

The two drivers were on different strategies when Mercedes asked Hamilton to move over with just over 20 laps left.
Hamilton said: "If I let him past, then he could pull away and come back at me later. I was very, very shocked the team would ask me to do that."
Rosberg refused to discuss the incident publicly after the race.
"We have to discuss that internally and it would not make sense for me to speak about it now," he said.
Hamilton ended up finishing third, one place ahead of Rosberg, after fending off the German on the final lap, following a sensational fightback that began from the pitlane, and included contact with the barrier on the first lap, as well as a brave pass around the outside of Jean-Eric Vergne on a wet track.
The result means Hamilton has reduced his deficit to his team-mate in the championship to 11 points.
Mercedes made the decision to ask Hamilton to move aside because Rosberg still had one pit stop to make, whereas Hamilton was racing to the end and they wanted to ensure Rosberg could score as many points as possible by getting back to the pits more quickly.
The Englishman was at the time in a battle with Ferrari's Fernando Alonso for second place behind Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo.

Hamilton said of his decision to ignore team orders: "Obviously I am aware that I was in the same race as him. Just because he had one more stop than me doesn't mean I am not in same race.
"He didn't get close enough to overtake, I was not going to lift off and lose ground to Fernando or Daniel, so it was a bit strange.
"I don't know really if I was right or wrong. As far as I am aware I was racing him, and of course he had to do one more stop.
"If I had let him past, I am sure he would have finished ahead of me which would have been quite significant in the title race. But I am sure they will explain it to me."
Hamilton had fought up to battle for the lead after starting from the pitlane following a fire in qualifying.

The wet-dry race was punctuated by two safety car periods.
"This is damage limitation," said Hamilton, who also had to fight up from the back in Germany the week before after a brake failure in qualifying.
"I cannot explain the pain you feel when you have issues such as I have had in last couple of races.
"It is difficult to swallow, and to come back the next day and attack. You are pushing way beyond what you would do if you were on pole position. It feels satisfying coming through [and] to be ahead and still in the fight is still encouraging."
Rosberg said he had not asked the team to order Hamilton out of the way.
"It was the team who informed me he was going to let me past. I don't know what happened then; it's better to discuss internally.
"I am going to sit down with the team and of course Lewis will be there also and discuss how much we can learn from today."
Mercedes co-team boss Toto Wolff said: "We need to analyse how we ended up there and we need to again discuss the racing between the two. It is getting intense.
"Emotionally as a racer, on the track, I can absolutely understand why he would do it."

Can you summarize the following information? | Work on the tower will also pause over the bank holiday weekend, the Met Police said.
Thousands of revellers are expected to pause near the tower, which is towards the end of the carnival route.
They will observe a minute's silence at around 15:00 BST to mark the tragedy, in which at least 80 people died.
In July London Mayor Sadiq Khan rejected a proposal by Minister for London Greg Hands to re-route the carnival away from Grenfell Tower.
He tweeted: "Notting Hill Carnival is a firm London tradition and incredibly important to the local community. It should not be moved."
A Met Police spokeswoman said the extra police officers were being deployed ensure "the security of the Grenfell Tower site is maintained and to protect the many items and memorials that have been placed near to Grenfell Tower."
Organisers are encouraging attendees to wear "green for Grenfell" in a display of "reverence and respect amidst the revelry".
Pepe Francis, chairman of the carnival trust, said: "The colour green represents renewal, growth and harmony and we feel that this sums up the support and respect for the Grenfell community and our neighbours.
"Carnival has been the heart, soul and unifying glue of this community for over half a century.
"We hope you join us for a peaceful celebration of our community, wear green as a mark of respect and remember the one-minute silence on Monday August 28 at 3pm."
The community assistance centre set up in the weeks following the fire will be temporarily moved due to expected congestion from the celebrations, Kensington and Chelsea Council said.
The Curve will move to the Millennium Gloucester Hotel, South Kensington, from Friday August 25 to Monday August 28, with a shuttle bus operating to transport families from their hotels.
Work inside the tower is expected to restart on the following Tuesday.
Kay Swinburne told a BBC Radio Wales debate that "not a single kilogram" of Welsh lamb is sold to the US.
Meanwhile UKIP AM Mark Reckless said he would like to see direct support to farmers, with less bureaucracy.
He said the EU had still not negotiated a US trade deal despite 40 years of UK membership.
"Welsh Lamb is a huge export for us. It really is critically important for our rural communities," Ms Swinburne said.
She said the biggest market was the EU, but warned of high EU tariffs if the UK left the bloc. "If we come out, no matter what the tariff on our Welsh lamb will be above 60%," she said.
"That means we will not be able to sell our lamb into the one market that we have right now.
"We have not sold a single kilogram of lamb to the United States of late.
"So, we have no market for it. That would be devastating for our communities.
"I don't believe any government in Westminster will look after our farming community here in Wales in the way the EU does, because they are farming led."
Mr Reckless said he would would like to see a system "where we have freer trade generally" and deals are "negotiate those trade deals with other countries".
"I'd like to give direct support to farmers, at least as much as they get now from the [Common Agricultural Policy], with much less bureaucracy associated with it," he said.
"If we are willing to open up our agricultural market on a reciprocal basis while giving farmers direct support, then that will make it much easier for us to do a much broader and deeper free trade deals than we have been able to with the European Union."
He said the EU still, after 40 years of our membership "hasn't negotiated a deal with the US". | Extra police officers and protective barriers will be deployed around Grenfell Tower during the Notting Hill Carnival.

He said he abused a young boy in Bawnmore after he "saw an opportunity and I took it".
The former England all-rounder is currently the head coach of the SBS Otago Volts in New Zealand.
"I came to New Zealand with high ambitions for my coaching so to achieve a position like this is hugely satisfying," Mascarenhas, 37, said.
The Black Caps face England in two Tests, five one-day internationals and a Twenty20 match in May and June.
The former Hampshire captain, who played 20 ODIs and 14 T20s for England between 2007 and 2009, replaces current New Zealand bowling coach Shane Bond, who will leave the role at the end of the World Cup.
He has initially been appointed on an "interim" basis and New Zealand Cricket will decide whether to make the role permanent before the tour of Zimbabwe and South Africa in July.
Mascarenhas, who spent 17 seasons with Hampshire before his retirement from county cricket in 2013, hopes his experience of English conditions will be an asset to the Black Caps.
"I am newly out of the scene there as a player and I know most of the guys in the current team very well," he said.
"The new guys I have played a lot with in county cricket and I know all the grounds we are playing at intimately so those factors will be useful in terms of the scouting and bowling plans."
The Sheffield University team looked at how the colours are created in the blue-and-white feathers of the jay.
They found the colours come from the way the feathers are structured rather than from pigments, like in human hair.
Researchers believe the discovery could allow the creation of long-lasting coloured coatings.
The publication Nature Scientific Reports said the team studied feathers in the Natural History Museum's collection in London.
The research team found that instead of using dyes that would fade over time, the birds use well-controlled changes to the small cells to create their vividly coloured feathers, which are possibly used for jays to recognise one another.
The jay is able to pattern these different colours along an individual feather barb - the equivalent of having many different colours along a single human hair, said the scientists.
Andrew Parnell, from Sheffield University's department of physics and astronomy, said: "This discovery means that in the future, we could create long-lasting coloured coatings and materials synthetically.
"We have discovered it is the way in which it is formed and the control of this evolving nanostructure [small cells] - by adjusting the size and density of the holes in the sponge-like structure - that determines what colour is reflected.
"Current technology cannot make colour with this level of control and precision - we still use dyes and pigments.
"Now we've learnt how nature accomplishes it, we can start to develop new materials such as clothes or paints using these nano-structuring approaches.
"It would potentially mean that if we created a red jumper using this method, it would retain its colour and never fade in the wash."

Officers said they were keeping "an open mind" over the motive for the stabbing.
No arrests have been made but a police spokesman confirmed the force was looking for a suspect or suspects.
Mr Appleton was in Nightingale Park with friends when two youths pulled up on a moped, police said.
The pillion passenger on the moped attacked the victim, stabbing him a number of times with a large bladed item before making off on the vehicle into Nightingale Road, a spokesman said.
BBC London reporter Emilia Papadopoulos, who was at the scene, said the Mr Appleton was stabbed in Nightingale Park, but managed to stumble across the road to Caldy Walk where he collapsed.
She added: "This attack happened in broad daylight and right in the middle of the estate, and witnesses told me there were children playing here at the time."
The moped involved is described by police as having a clear front screen and displayed an L plate to the rear, while the pillion passenger was wearing dark clothing and a dark helmet.
Det Ch Insp Chris Jones said: "I am very keen to hear from everyone who was in the area of Caldy Walk.
"We are also keen to hear from anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious or who has information that could assist the investigation."

The Family Library had said it would cease to exist beyond 31 July if £250,000 was not raised.
The government has now pledged £100,000 which, combined with £25,000 of donations and a match-funding donor, will mean it has the money needed.
The charity runs services on the island which Tynwald previously funded.
It took control of the services in 2012, when government funding ceased, and has been funded by online gambling firm PokerStars and that company's co-founders, the Sheinberg family.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Hundreds of protesters marched from Edinburgh's North Bridge to the US Consulate on Regent Terrace to coincide with Trump being sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.
Earlier, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon congratulated President Trump.
She wished the Trump administration well dealing with "great global challenges".
Mr Trump, whose mother was born in Scotland, owns two Scottish golf courses - which will be controlled by his sons while he is in office - and has a history of involvement in Scottish politics.
His first foreign trip as Republican candidate for the White House was to Scotland, taking in his golf courses at Turnberry and in Aberdeenshire.
The then President-elect spoke with Ms Sturgeon on the phone to discuss the "longstanding relationship between Scotland and the United States" in December.
The first minister, who endorsed Mr Trump's rival Hillary Clinton, has repeatedly condemned comments Mr Trump made during his campaign, having earlier stripped him of his role as a business ambassador for Scotland.
Protests were held across Scotland, including Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
Protesters were armed with banners with wording including: "Love Trumps Hate", "No to racism, no to Trump" and "Hey Donald, I hope you step on a lego".
The demonstration in Edinburgh was organised by Stand Up To Racism. Hundreds of people chanted slogans such as "Donald Trump go to hell - take the KKK as well" and "Donald Trump, go away - sexist, racist, anti-gay".
Ahead of the march, a group called the Order of Perpetual Indulgence - which aims to end prejudice and intolerance - performed an excommunication on the new commander-in-chief.
Sister Ann Tici Pation said: "The order indicts Donald J Trump, and all his greedy, self-serving minions, for sins against decency.
"Including but not limited to the following acts of racism, misogyny, xenophobia, hate-mongering, cruelty, greed and contempt of the truth.
"We wish him wind farms around his golf course... and declare him excommunicated and we judge him condemned to an icy hell of complete irrelevance."
Speaking ahead of the event in Washington DC, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "Ms Sturgeon said: "I congratulate President Trump on taking office today. There are great global challenges to be faced, and I wish his administration well in dealing with them.
"The ties of family, friendship and business that bind our countries are very deep and longstanding. We share fundamental values of equality tolerance and and human rights and I hope to see these values upheld during the new president's term in office.
"Scotland and the United States will continue to co-operate in those areas where we share common interests and goals, and, when appropriate, we will also look to have constructive dialogue on issues where our views differ."
Mr Trump has held a lengthy and often colourful correspondence with former First Minister Alex Salmond.
Mr Salmond said after the inaugural address: "It was shorter, angrier - it was campaign rhetoric. There was much less than I expected of reaching out to all the Americans who didn't vote for him.
"There was a lot of God it, even by inauguration standards, for someone who's found religion comparatively recently.
"So maybe it's a case of may God bless America, and may God help the rest of us."
Protestors in Edinburgh draped banners over North Bridge carrying messages including "there is no planet B" and "build bridges not walls".
Speaking for the "Edinburgh Bridges Not Walls" group, Alys Mumford said the protestors were taking action to "reject the rise of a dangerous and divisive far-right politics".
She said: "The new normal that the far right is seeking will roll back decades of progress on civil rights, gender equality and the environment. It is up to all of us to take responsibility for actively rejecting this." | Protests against Donald Trump have taken place across Scotland to oppose his presidency. |
Write a summary of this document. | The Daily Telegraph reported that Dispatches will allege "a £10,000 donation was paid by the stepfather of an undercover businessman which would be against the rules on donations."
Lord Strasburger of Langridge has denied doing anything wrong.
The allegations are due to be broadcast in the Channel 4 programme next week.
The BBC has not seen any evidence to corroborate what the Daily Telegraph is reporting and neither has it heard from Channel 4.
Under rules overseen by the Electoral Commission and set out in law, any donation above £7,500 has to be declared and the use of a proxy as a donor - to hide the real giver of the money - is not allowed.
In a statement published by the Liberal Democrats, Lord Strasburger said: "Whatever Channel 4 may say in their Dispatches programme, I do not think I have committed any offence.
"Having said that, I believe that we should all be accountable for what we do, so I have invited the Electoral Commission to carry out an investigation into my actions.
"In the meantime, whilst I maintain that I have committed no offence, I have stopped fund-raising for the party.
"Also, for the sake of the party, I have resigned the whip from the Liberal Democrat group in the House of Lords until the investigation is completed."
In a response to a suggestion in the Daily Telegraph that this apparent donor, working for Dispatches, had met the Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, a spokesman for the party said: "It is common practice for senior party figures from all parties to meet with potential and current donors."
The statement adds: "Dispatches has raised important questions about one particular donation, which the party is taking seriously.
"The party had no reason to believe that the donation was made by anyone other than the person who signed the cheque."
Willie Rennie, who leads the Lib Dems in Scotland, says Lord Strasburger had taken the right course of action.
The MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife told the BBC: "We need to have a proper investigation to find out the truth in this regard and step back just now... the proper processes are taking place. We shouldn't make a judgement before that conclusion."
Lord Strasburger, 68, from Bath, is a semi-retired businessman who took his seat in the House of Lords as a life peer in 2011.
Now five weeks old and weighing 3lbs (1.3kg), he was officially named by US First Lady Michelle Obama and Chinese First Lady Peng Liyuan.
The name is pronounced "Bay Bay" and when combined with his two-year-old sister's name, Bao Bao, means "precious treasure".
The women revealed the name in both English and Mandarin, accompanied by third-graders from a DC school.
Mrs Obama said her family loves the zoo while Ms Peng said the pandas are a way to bond the two countries together.
Bei Bei turns five weeks old on Saturday. His twin died four days after its birth to their mother Mei Xiang.
The two-month-old boy, whose full name is Justin Trudeau Adam Bilan, was snoozing happily as the prime minister briefly held him at a Calgary Stampede breakfast on Saturday.
The boy was born in May in Calgary - several months after his parents and their two children fled Syria's war.
They hail from the capital Damascus.
When they landed in Montreal in February last year, Mr Trudeau was not there to greet them at the airport, as he did with other Syrian refugees.
But the couple, Muhammad and Afraa Bilan, felt they had to give their thanks to him in some way - so have named their newborn son after him.
Between November 2015, when Mr Trudeau became prime minister, and January this year, more than 40,000 Syrian refugees have been resettled in Canada. About 1,000 of them moved to Calgary.
In late January, after US President Donald Trump's ban on immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries, Mr Trudeau took to social media to confirm his government's commitment to helping "those fleeing persecution, terror & war".

The royals are on a seven-day tour of India and neighbouring Bhutan.
The duke's discussion with Mr Modi comes during a crisis facing the UK's steel industry, which has been blamed on the "dumping" of Chinese steel, relatively high energy prices and the extra cost of climate change policies.
India's Tata Steel has begun the formal process of selling its loss-making UK business and UK MPs are to hold an emergency three-hour debate on the crisis.
The duke and duchess met Mr Modi at New Delhi's Hyderabad House, a former royal residence of maharajas that has hosted heads of state from across the globe.
Other issues that were discussed during the meeting included the strength of the UK-India relationship in areas including defence and security, opportunities for young people, conservation and the UK/India Year of Culture in 2017, the Press Association news agency reported quoting sources.
During their visit to the charity in Delhi, the duke asked: "What can we do to help?"
The charity's director, Sanjoy Roy, replied: "Spread the word. People think of them as street kids, beggars, thieves but they are just children.
"They deserve an education, future and a life. They have a right to a childhood."
They also visited a boys' home near Delhi station, where about 50 boys live in the four-storey building.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | It comes after an inquiry by the All Party Parliamentary Group on body image heard evidence that more than half of the public has a negative body image.
Girls as young as five now worry about how they look, the MPs' report said, while cosmetic surgery rates have increased by nearly 20% since 2008.
Media images of unrealistic bodies were said to be largely to blame, they said.
The MPs released the
Reflections on Body Image report
after a three-month inquiry, involving an online consultation and oral evidence given to the cross-party group.
Appearance-related discrimination
Among other recommendations was a review into whether the
Equality Act 2010
should be amended to include appearance-related discrimination, which would be put on the same legal basis as race and sexual discrimination.
Under the current act, people can be prosecuted for verbal abuse if it is considered to be serious enough.
If this was amended it would be a offence to harass someone because of their appearance, for example by drawing attention to their weight.
APPG chairwoman, Jo Swinson MP, said there was a "definite problem" with body image and that has "serious consequences".
"It's something which has existed for a long time... but in terms of the scale of it, that is what is new, and it is being driven by the proliferation of media imagery portraying a so-called 'perfected ideal' that is entirely unattainable for the vast majority of people," she told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme.
The inquiry found evidence that suggested body dissatisfaction in the UK was on the rise.
It is a key factor in health and relationship problems and low-self esteem, the report, co-authored by health and education charity Central YMCA, said.
The report suggested it is also a major block to progression at school and work.
Children often reflected their parents' own body-related anxieties, the evidence suggested, while appearance is the greatest cause of bullying in schools.
Body dissatisfaction, the report said, is a problem that affects people regardless of age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, disability, body size or shape.
However, the evidence suggested young people and children were particularly vulnerable to anxiety over their bodies.
Parents were one of the main influences on children - but peer groups became a stronger influence by secondary school age.
About half of girls and up to a third of boys have dieted to lose weight, the report said.
More than half of British people have a negative body image, a study by the Centre for Appearance Research at the University of the West of England, quoted by the report, found.
The inquiry - which heard from academics, magazine editors, company chief executives, the public, and other experts - also heard that:
The report made a series of recommendations, including:
Ms Swinson told the BBC the media and companies should take "positive steps to show a greater diversity and authenticity in the images we are bombarded with on a daily basis".
The Lib Dem MP for East Dunbartonshire also said a form of kite-marking as a reward for organisations that take action would be welcome.
Central YMCA chief executive Rosi Prescott said: "It is clear there is something seriously wrong in society when children as young as five are worrying about their appearance."
The inquiry was conducted between 24 November 2011 and 24 February 2012.
It consisted of an online consultation and 10 evidence sessions where witnesses representing organisations with an interest or association with body image gave evidence at the House of Commons. In total, the online consultation had 601 submissions. | All school children should take part in compulsory body image and self-esteem lessons, MPs have recommended. |
Summarize this article briefly. | Councillors agreed to cut 367 full-time jobs and reduce the number of libraries from 74 to 34.
The moves are part of the council's bid to save £262m by April 2020 following government cuts.
Since January 2014, 1100 people have taken voluntary redundancy.
Among the measures approved are removing funding for subsidised bus services, ending free transport for faith schools and ending the funding of five museums - Queen Street Mill, Helmshore, Museum of Lancashire, Judges' Lodgings and Fleetwood Museum.
Jennifer Mein, the Labour leader of Lancashire County Council, said: "The decisions we have taken today are heartbreaking but reflect the unprecedented financial situation we face."
About 140 search warrants were issued by some 40 forces during the UK-wide raids, led by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.
Most warrants related to downloading and sharing indecent images.
Some 80 children were removed from harm, including 20 found at raided properties.
Operation Tharsley took place over 48 hours on Tuesday and Wednesday, with support from the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca).
Those arrested include a pathologist, a firefighter, an activities instructor, government employees, and a referee.
Known offenders who had breached the conditions of the sex offenders register were also held.
Forty-two forces from around the UK made the following arrests:
Officers seized laptop computers, USB storage devices, and digital cameras, according to Ceop's deputy chief executive, Andy Baker.
Mr Baker said pictures would be scrutinised to see identify victims using clues in the background.
"Every image is a crime scene," he added.
Meanwhile,
Ceop published a report
on risks posed by people who download indecent images of children.
It reported a correlation between the viewing of abusive images and sex attacks being committed against children.
Principal analyst at Ceop, Kate Fisher, said abusive internet images were becoming "more extreme, sadistic and violent, and feature increasingly younger children".
Ceop called for police to prioritise investigating suspects who had easy access to children.
Christian Sjoberg of NetClean, which aims to prevent child sexual abuse content, said: "As police cuts hit home and case volumes increase, crime-fighting agents attempting to tackle the problem are finding their resources stretched."
"Sophisticated internet use makes the job of child protection increasingly complex, but technology can also hold the key to finding and preventing those who create and distribute this kind of material."
The raids come as the UK government announces a draft bill to allow details of internet use to be stored for a year, enabling intelligence services to track crime with modern technology.
Home Secretary Theresa May said: "Communications data is vital for the police in their fight against crime, including serious offences such as child abuse, drug dealing and terrorism."
Simpson was stretchered off in the 26-21 home defeat by Leicester on 9 May with a medial collateral ligament blow.
That cost him an expected place in England's 45-man summer training squad.
"I'm just hoping I get the call from England to show what I can do in training to give myself a chance to make the World Cup squad," he said.
After six weeks of treatment and rehabilitation under Wasps' medical team, and cutting his planned summer holiday short, Simpson took part in his first running session last Friday and is expected to be fully fit when both Wasps and England commence pre-season training.
"I only missed one match, the last game of the season, and that is a real positive," Simpson added.
"I knew that, if everything went to plan and I worked hard with the physios I could get back in time for pre-season with Wasps and England.
"I'm on course for that and I should be back in the next couple of weeks, starting pre-season with Wasps on Wednesday.
"We had a great season at Wasps. We played some superb rugby and I had a really enjoyable season.

Can you provide an overview of this section? | He stretches out his legs towards a large fan whirring in the corner of his office. He seems keen to cool his toes.
Hamas' deputy foreign minister is hot but he is not bothered. A smile creeps across his neatly trimmed salt and pepper beard. He's very much in the pink.
"Everyone is celebrating. We are very happy. It was wonderful," he smiles.
And the reason for his good humour: The election of a new president. Not in Gaza but in neighbouring Egypt.
When it was announced last month that the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Mursi was to be Egypt's first democratically elected president, thousands of Hamas supporters in Gaza took to the streets to celebrate.
Gaza City's main boulevard - the Champs Elysee du Gaza, as some locals choose to call it - was filled with a cacophony of car horns and firecrackers.
Nearby, a succession of Hamas leaders took to a stage to cheer the Brotherhood's victory.
They see Mr Mursi very much as one of their own.
"The new voice, the new regime in Egypt will be more supportive for the Palestinians. Not only for Hamas but for the whole Palestinian question," says Mr Hamed.
Another reason for his upbeat mood, Mr Hamed says is what is good for Hamas, is bad for Israel.
"Israel is more isolated now. It has lost its most important friend in the Middle East. Things will not be like under Hosni Mubarak."
Hamas, which has been in power in Gaza since 2007, was originally founded, in the 1980s, as a Palestinian offshoot of the long-established Muslim Brotherhood.
"At the end of the day Hamas is part of the international Muslim Brotherhood organisation," says Mokhaimer Abu Sada, Professor of Politics at Gaza's al-Azhar University.
"Because Palestinians are under Israel's occupation maybe Hamas became a militant organisation dedicated to fighting that occupation. But at the end of the day both Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt subscribe to the same principles."
Some analysts believe that having a powerful and now friendly neighbour will make Hamas more confident in its ongoing conflict with Israel.
In the days after Mr Mursi was elected, Hamas militants fired scores of rockets and mortars into Israel as the Israeli military carried out air strikes on Gaza.
It was the first time Hamas had directly engaged militarily for more than a year, although Israel accuses the Islamist movement of allowing smaller militants groups to launch attacks.
It is possible Hamas' military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, was trying to assert itself, testing the waters as to how Israel might react given the change in power in Egypt just days earlier.
Both Mr Hamed and Prof Abu Sada reject that suggestion.
They say the Hamas firing had more to do with internal politics among Gaza's militant factions rather than being connected to Mr Mursi's election.
Either way many will be watching to see how the Muslim Brotherhood reacts if Hamas chooses to fire rockets again.
The Muslim Brotherhood has said it wants to uphold Egypt's long-standing peace treaty with Israel.
Prof Abu Sada believes the movement will put pressure on Hamas to also maintain some sort of cold peace.
"Egypt is definitely not interested in provoking Israel. Egypt is much more concerned with solving its internal problems - poverty and unemployment," says Prof Abu Sada.
"Hamas has the same issues in Gaza. Hamas is much more interested in rebuilding the Gaza Strip instead of engaging in another war with Israel. Since the last war [with Israel from December 2008 to January 2009] Hamas has largely tried to restrain other resistance groups within Gaza."
Prof Abu Sada highlights the internal dilemma, which has faced Hamas ever since it came to power: Can it successfully run a government taking care of Gaza's 1.6 million people while at the same time continuing to act as a resistance movement fighting Israel militarily?
He believes the Muslim Brotherhood will try to steer Hamas towards the former.
"The Muslim Brotherhood will try to influence Hamas in a much more moderate and pragmatic way."
And Mr Hamed, who is widely considered to be one of the more moderate voices within the Hamas leadership in Gaza, says his government does not want the Muslim Brotherhood to be forced to choose between keeping its relationship with Hamas and keeping the peace with Israel.
"We are not interested in squeezing the Muslim Brotherhood into a corner or dragging Egypt into a confrontation with Israel."
Mr Hamed cautions that much will also depend on how much power the Muslim Brotherhood eventually wrestles from Egypt's military generals.
He believes it could take several years before the shifting dynamics of power in Egypt begin to settle.
But in the long term, he sees Egypt and Turkey, with its Islamist government, as the two big players in the region with the potential to influence the Middle East's most intractable conflict, that is between Israel and the Palestinians.
In the shorter term he believes the Muslim Brotherhood will work towards easing the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
He hopes it will move to further lift Egypt's blockade of Gaza which former President Hosni Mubarak imposed at the request of Israel and the United States, when Hamas came to power.
Mr Hamed points to the fact that immediately after Mr Mursi's election, Egypt greatly increased the number of Palestinians allowed to leave Gaza through Egypt each day.
Around a thousand people are now permitted to travel each day, up from around 500 just a few months ago.
Mr Hamed says the next target would be to see the border opened up to legal commercial traffic.
Currently hundreds of thousands of tonnes of goods, mostly construction materials, pass into Gaza through smuggling tunnels from Egypt every month.
The illegal trade, which has greatly increased since the fall of Mr Mubarak, has helped fuel something of a construction boom in Gaza with new buildings being put up on just about every street corner.
"We have had a building revolution in Gaza over the past year," says Rafik Hassuna, in front of a new classroom block that his company is building at Gaza's Islamic University.
Mr Hassuna runs one of the largest construction companies in Gaza. One of biggest projects is helping build a new wide tree-lined corniche road along the strip's Mediterranean seafront.
It is a huge undertaking, given that all the thousands of tonnes of building materials have to be carted in underground.
"It's crazy!" says Mr Hassuna shaking his head.
"We suffered from Mubarak who supported Israel and its siege of Gaza."
He now wants Mr Mursi to open up the border for trade.
"We hope the Arab Spring will bring fresh rains for Gaza. There is a commercial relation between Egypt and Libya, Egypt and Sudan. We hope to establish the same relation between Gaza and Egypt. We pray for this."
But there is one reason why such an opening up might not happen.
Some in Israel have suggested that the Egypt-Gaza border should be opened up, pushing responsibility for the Palestinian territory towards Cairo.
And that is why Mr Hamed says Hamas wants Egypt to be close but not too close.
"Gaza is part of Palestine. Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem and the whole of Palestine are part of one political and geographical unity. Gaza is part of the Palestinian homeland - it is not part of Egypt." | On a sweltering July afternoon in Gaza City, Ghazi Hamed leans back in his chair and kicks off his shoes. |
Please summarize the given passage. | It has weakened, and has not so far wreaked damage to the extent initially feared, but is bringing torrential rain which authorities caution could trigger deadly floods and landslides.
Here is what you need to know about the powerful storm system.
At its peak, Hurricane Patricia was a very rare Category Five hurricane, by definition the strongest, with winds of 325km/h (200mph).
The US National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned it could be like a "nuclear detonation", and comparisons were drawn with Typhoon Haiyan - another Category Five event which devastated parts of the Philippines in 2013 and is thought to have killed more than 6,000 people - most through tsunami-like storm surges.
The hurricane weakened as it made landfall and is now a tropical depression - but authorities caution that "we cannot let our guard down".
The storm brings heavy rain - possibly reaching 50cm (20in) in isolated spots - which the NHC says is "likely to produce life-threatening flash floods and mudslides".
Forecasters were taken aback by Hurricane Patricia, which developed from a tropical storm into a dangerous hurricane in the space of 24 hours.
Local conditions were ideal for hurricane development - warm sea surfaces, little interaction with land and favourably light wind conditions.
But it is not clear exactly why it developed so quickly and this is likely to be closely investigated in the future.
One possibility may be higher sea surface temperatures due to the El Nino weather phenomenon.
This Pacific hurricane season has been the most active on record, with 15 to date, but experts caution about linking El Nino to specific events.
BBC Earth explains: What is a hurricane?
Routine aerial inspections picked up extraordinary weather conditions in the early hours of Thursday.
Meteorologists use the Saffir-Simpson scale to categorise hurricanes according to their sustained wind speed - long-lasting gales rather than sharp gusts, which can be even stronger.
Under the system, named after its inventors at the NHC, a Category One hurricane has winds from 74-95mph (119-153km/h), while a Category Five has anything above 157mph (252km/h).
But even the lowest category is dangerous, capable of dislodging debris and killing people, while Hurricane Patricia was in the strongest category.
"If we had a Category Six it would fit in there," said Stav Danos from the BBC's weather centre.
Thankfully it appears that the hurricane did not hit populous areas with the ferocious winds feared - which officials had cautioned could toss cars in the air and destroy homes.
The main risk remains heavy rain and the associated risks of landslides and flash flooding, along with storm surges along the coast.
Some 400,000 people live in vulnerable areas, according to Mexico's National Disaster Fund.
Mexican geography may help dissipate the storm as it crosses mountainous regions - though these areas are particularly vulnerable to landslides and flash floods.
As it travels north, Hurricane Patricia could reach the US state of Texas where areas are already on flash flood watch.
Mexico is no stranger to extreme weather, having to deal with tropical storms from the Pacific and Atlantic, sometimes simultaneously.
President Enrique Pena Nieto said Mexico had been "involved and very attentive" in the build up to the event, and had taken preventative measures including making shelters available for thousands of people.
Three Mexican states in the hurricane's path declared a state of emergency. Schools were closed and shops boarded up.
Thousands of people, including tourists, were evacuated but some have now left shelters, despite the government urging people to stay while the storm remains a threat. | The strongest hurricane recorded in the western hemisphere - Hurricane Patricia - has made landfall on the Mexican coast, and is moving inland. |
Give a brief overview of this passage. | What Happened, Miss Simone? traces the American singer's life from her early days as a classically trained pianist to her later jazz and blues career.
Her struggles with mental illness and her involvement in the civil rights movement are also covered in the film.
The premiere, in Park City, Utah, was followed by a short concert by singer-songwriter John Legend.
"I'm so grateful to be here today honouring the legacy of the wonderful, powerful, dynamic, super-talented Nina Simone," he told the audience at Thursday's event.
Legend, who received an Oscar nomination last week for a song he co-wrote for Martin Luther King biopic Selma, went on to perform three numbers made famous by Simone, who died in 2003.
The latest edition of the annual independent film showcase, which runs until 1 February, will feature 118 feature-length documentary and narrative films in its programme.
Festival co-founder Robert Redford makes an on-screen appearance himself this year in A Walk in the Woods, an adaptation of the Bill Bryson memoir that will have its premiere later.
Other titles in the line-up include Slow West, a 19th Century western starring Michael Fassbender; True Story, a fact-based crime drama starring James Franco and Jonah Hill; and Grandma, a comedy starring Lily Tomlin that will close this year's event.
Festival director John Cooper said there had been "a lift in the quality" in submissions, adding that "the wild ride of the festival is going to be felt by the audiences.''
The opening of this year's event follows the announcement that Sundance London, an offshoot of the festival that ran from 2012 to 2014, will not take place in 2015.
It also comes in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks in Paris, something Redford touched upon during a news conference on Thursday.
"That was a sad event, it was a shocking event," he told reporters. "I also have a hunch it was a bit of a wake-up event.
"Freedom of expression seems to be in danger in a lot of areas," he continued, "But as far as we're concerned, we will do everything in our power to keep it alive here." | The Sundance Film Festival has launched its 2015 edition with a documentary about famed jazz singer Nina Simone. |
What is the summary of the following article? | Head coach Steve Hansen revealed all but two members of his squad have suffered with diarrhoea and vomiting.

"Hopefully we've been smart enough to keep energy tanks full," said Hansen.
The majority of the New Zealand team succumbed to severe food poisoning 48 hours before the 1995 World Cup final. The All Blacks went on to lose the final 15-12 to South Africa.
The New Zealander admitted it had been a difficult week but did not anticipate anyone would require a fitness test.
All Blacks number eight Kieran Read said the players had a "guided tour of the bathrooms" on Wednesday before adding that he now felt "a lot better".
"Hopefully it's a 24 hour thing. It's just something you have to handle and we'll be alright for Saturday," said Read.
Hansen has made three changes to the New Zealand team hoping to defeat England and extend their unbeaten run to 21 games.
Carter returns to fly-half after missing the 33-10 victory over Wales on Saturday because of injury, while hooker Keven Mealamu replaces the suspended Andrew Hore and Brodie Retallick is picked ahead of Luke Romano in the second row.
Former Wales coach Hansen said he was not taking a gamble on star man Carter, saying: "He's telling us that he's right to play, his actions are telling us he's right to play, so we'll play him."
Hansen also admitted he was embarrassed by Hore's behaviour after the player was banned for five weeks for striking Wales lock Bradley Davies, and could understand why some believed the hooker's suspension was too lenient.
Hore's ban will run until Sunday, 24 February, which means he will miss Saturday's Test and three Super Rugby pre-season matches for the Highlanders.
"He admits himself the intent was to do something else but he got it drastically wrong," said Hansen of the strike which left Davies needing to be taken to hospital with concussion.
"It's not us that set the rules, it's the IRB [International Rugby Board]. Do we agree with it? Probably not but it's there."

High tariffs for imported goods have prompted some Chinese consumers to shop abroad or through agents.
By lowering the fees, China may hope to bring some of that consumer spending home.
The government is particularly keen to promote domestic demand as the country is growing at its slowest rate since 2009.
The tariff reduction is an "important measure to create stable growth and push forward structural reform", said the Ministry of Finance.

On Monday, Shia-dominated Iran summoned a Nigerian diplomat in Tehran to protest against the crackdown.
Nigeria's military accuses the pro-Iranian sect of trying to assassinate army chief Gen Tukur Buratai.
The sect, known as the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), denies the allegation.
The group wants to set up its version of an Islamic republic in Nigeria and has frequently clashed with the army.
Shias are a minority in Nigeria, where most Muslims belong to the rival Sunni sect.
On Sunday, government troops arrested IMN leader Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky after besieging his home in the northern city of Zaria.
The IMN alleges that the military killed hundreds of its members and destroyed a religious shrine and the home of Sheikh Zakzaky during the raid.
A leading human rights activist Chidi Odinkalu, has backed that figure and called on President Muhammadu Buhari to conduct an independent investigation into what happened.
"It is not tolerable, Nigerians have the rights to live like citizens of any other nation," he told the BBC.
"How can a professional military respond with guns to people protesting with stones," Mr Odinkalu added.
The latest protests were triggered by a photo that went viral on social media, purportedly showing him sitting on the ground with a bloodied face.
The IMN has its headquarters in Kaduna, where security forces have taken up positions at strategic places as IMN members protest in the streets, says the the BBC's Nura Muhammed Ringim in the city.
Some residents are staying in doors because they fear violence could erupt, he says.
The cities of Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Zamfara and Bauchi have also been hit by protests.
The world's foremost Shia state, Iran, which backed IMN has officially protested to the Nigerian authorities.
A group of Iranians gathered in front of the UN office in the north-eastern religious city of Mashhad to demand international action into what is happening in Nigeria, Tehran-based Tasnim news agency reports.
The military has not given casualty figures, but has denied the IMN's claim that the wife of Sheikh Zakzaky, Zeenat Ibrahim, was killed during the weekend clashes.
Maj Gen Oyebado, the army head of the Kaduna division, said on Monday that she was in the army's custody.
He did not confirm or deny the death of the couple's son, Sayyid Ibraheem Zakzaky.
Last year, three other sons of Sheikh Zakzaky were killed in clashes between the army and pilgrims in a religious procession.

She credited her win to Ms Miyamoto, saying she had helped show "mixed girls the way".
"Before Ariana, haafu girls couldn't represent Japan," said Ms Yoshikawa. "That's what I thought too. Ariana encouraged me a lot by showing me and all mixed girls the way.
"I know a lot of people who are haafu and suffer," she said. "When I came back to Japan, everyone thought I was a germ."
"Like if they touched me they would be touching something bad. But I'm thankful because that made me really strong."
A few years ago, a woman of Indian descent, Nina Davuluri, faced Twitter abuse after being crowned Miss America. Some called her an "Arab", some a "terrorist", and some an "Arab terrorist". Indians, in large numbers, came to her defence.
Now, Ms Yoshikawa is being criticised for having an Indian father and some Indians have taken to social media to advise the Japanese to "get over it". One Twitter user said she won because she "must have deserved it" while another said "after Gautam Buddha, Ms Yoshikawa is the only Indian to make it big in Japan".
In Ms Yoshikawa's case - as in Ms Davuluri's before her - the biggest complaint seems to be the "lack of purity". But some are wondering whether this debate over purity has any relevance in today's globalised world.
As one Twitter user said: "Talent cannot be controlled or ruled by caste, colour, gender or country of origin."
The pageant winner, also an avid kick-boxer and qualified elephant trainer, said that she hoped to change perceptions.
"When I'm abroad, people never ask me what mix I am. As Miss Japan, hopefully I can help change perceptions so that it can be the same here too."
Ms Yoshikawa's win did not trigger the backlash that Ms Miyamoto received on social media.
There were however, several on Twitter that expressed unhappiness.
"It's like we're saying a pure Japanese face can't be a winner," said one user.
"What's the point of holding a pageant like this now? Zero national characteristics," another complained.
Ms Yoshikawa however, was not letting the doubters get to her.
"There was a time as a kid when I was confused about my identity," she said. "But I've lived in Japan so long now I feel Japanese." | A half-Indian woman has been crowned Miss World Japan, the second year in a row a biracial person has won a beauty pageant in the country. |
What is the summary of the given information? | Scientist Marie Campbell told the High Court in Glasgow she analysed the bag found in Coatbridge on 26 January 2010.
She said the probability of the DNA being anyone other than William Paterson's was one in a billion.
Mr Paterson, 35, denies fatally shooting 29-year-old gangland figure Mr Carroll in Glasgow on 13 January 2010.
Mr Carroll was killed at the Asda car park in the city's Robroyston area.
The court heard that a bag containing guns, which had been wrapped in other bags, was found in shrubbery behind a library in Coatbridge by a council gardener in January 2010.
Forensic scientist Mrs Campbell prepared a report after analysing the items and comparing them with a number of reference samples including former murder accused Ross Monaghan.
She told the jury that from a sample, taken from the grip plate on the handle of one of the guns, was analysed and a DNA match was found for the profile of Mr Monaghan.
She also told the jury that the DNA profile on a Tesco carrier bag, which contained a gun, had initially been called "male A".
Last year it was known that "male A" was Mr Paterson.
Advocate depute Iain McSporran, prosecuting, asked about one of the samples taken from a black handgun.
He asked what her findings were about that sample.
She said: "The DNA profile contained DNA from at least three people, the majority of the DNA matched the profile of Ross Monaghan."
Mrs Campbell said that "male A" and the other reference samples were eliminated.
The jury were told that she could not "categorically" say that it would be as a result of Mr Monaghan handling the gun and that it "could well be that it is secondary transfer".
She also said that the probability of it being anyone other than Mr Monaghan is estimated as being more than one billion to one.
Mrs Campbell said items were analysed and a report was compiled last year using a DNA sample from Mr Paterson.
The expert witness told the court: "The taping from the handle of the Tesco carrier bag was analysed and the DNA profile obtained matched the DNA profile of William Paterson."
Defence lawyer Des Finnieston asked about a stab proof vest that was examined.
It was put to her that the DNA profiles of Mr Paterson and Mr Monaghan were eliminated and she said "That's correct."
In relation to the Tesco bag that was examined Mr Finnieston asked: "There's no way of telling the date and time or how long the DNA had been on it?"
Mrs Campbell said: "That's correct."
Mr Paterson denies the charges and incriminates six other people including Ross Monaghan.
He has lodged a special defence of alibi claiming he was at an address in Cumbernauld at the time of the shooting.
The trial before judge Lord Armstrong continues.
Driving for the new Ford Chip Ganassi team, Guernsey's Priaulx and team-mates Harry Tincknell and Marino Franchitti finished ninth in their class, having hoped to get onto the podium.
"It was a tough race," he said. "We had a gearbox issue at the start, so we were unlucky from the outset.
"Considering what happened to us, just finishing was an achievement."
Priaulx and his team-mates qualified fourth-fastest in their class, but saw fellow Ford drivers Joey Hand, Dirk Muller and Sebastien Bourdais win on the 50th anniversary of the manufacturer's first victory at Le Mans.

Can you write a short summary of this section? | Robert Fidler built his home at Salfords in the Surrey greenbelt without planning permission and hid it behind straw bales for four years.
He was ordered in November to tear it down by June or face three months in jail.
Mr Fidler confirmed on Wednesday demolition work had started.
Last week he denied he had started to tear it down.
Reigate and Banstead Borough Council said it was monitoring the situation.
The authority told the farmer in 2007 he must demolish his property, prompting a 1,840-strong petition to save it.
A High Court judge gave Mr Fidler a three-month suspended sentence last November and warned he would be jailed for his "defiance" if the property was not demolished by June.
Mr Fidler said in December he might look at reducing his home in size, possibly to that of a bungalow.
Paramjit Randhawa, of Honor Avenue in Wolverhampton, was filmed by undercover inspectors from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) in July 2013.
The 72-year-old was granted benefits in 1995, but failed to inform the DWP after his health improved in 2011.
At Wolverhampton Crown Court, he got an eight-month suspended jail term.
The video, recorded at Wolverhampton Swimming and Fitness Centre in Wednesfield, shows the defendant walking on a treadmill and lifting weights.
Judge John Wait ordered Randhawa - who has stepped down as a treasurer of Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Wolverhampton as a result of the case - to pay back £19,782.
"You have lost your good character because you are a dishonest man," he told the defendant.
Randhawa's lawyer said his client "bitterly regrets" what he did and feels "ashamed".
A spokesman for DWP said the footage showed how investigators are "rooting out the unscrupulous minority" exploiting the system.
Verdun Hayes, from Somerton, made the jump at Dunkeswell Airfield near Honiton, Devon, to raise money for the North Devon Hospice.
The centenarian, who has wanted to skydive since he was 90 years old, is thought to have become the UK's oldest skydiver.
Mr Verdun said: "It was first class, really beautiful."
He said he might jump again next year, adding: "It was better than I expected, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Coming out of the aeroplane and going into freefall was lovely."
But was he scared? "Not in the least. I had a good man with a parachute behind me."
The daredevil - who celebrated his 100th birthday on 6 April - made the jump alongside his two great-grandsons.
Before the jump, his daughter Lin Tattersall, said he was "always doing something he shouldn't be doing" and despite her initial shock she was "secretly proud" of him.
"I said: 'No Dad, I don't think you should do it' but over the months he's convinced me that he really wants to do it," she said.
"In the UK he is the oldest man to do this skydive - so he'll get the record and he'll enjoy it but I'll enjoy it when it's over and they're all on the ground."

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Ruaridh Hanna, from Beauly in the Highlands, has been serving on a Hanjin Shipping vessel for three months.
However, ports around the world are refusing to let Hanjin's ships dock after the company filed for bankruptcy.
Mr Hanna told BBC Radio Scotland the cadets were "taking each day as it comes".
The 22-year-old told the Good Morning Scotland programme that given an opportunity by the UK government to leave the ship, he and the other cadets would take it rather than waiting to see if it would be given permission to dock.
Ports around the world are refusing to let Hanjin Shipping vessels dock or unload, fearing they will not get paid.
The situation has left boats and crew stranded, including the four cadets who are aboard the Hanjin Louisiana as part of their nautical science course at Glasgow College.
Mr Hanna said: "If there was a prospect of us getting off, of course all four of us would take it, simply for the fact that if we don't, we don't know how long we'd be here for.
"There's no berthing schedule, there's no possibility of that kind anytime soon, so certainly, if we got that chance, if the government were able to intervene in some way, then absolutely we would take it."
Mr Hanna's mother Rhona MacLennan has called on the UK government to get involved and get her son and the other cadets off the ship.
She told the programme: "It's been really difficult, the not knowing. I can understand that it's a foreign company but they [the UK government] have to remember that the cadets are all British citizens and their welfare must take priority.
"I hope that they will move now in getting them back to shore."
SNP MP Drew Hendry has also called on the UK government to act and warned that the area was at risk of pirates.
He said: "This week we have had a more positive response from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and I believe that they have actually made some contact with the cadets.
"But it's all moving very slowly and you can see the concerns are building for the cadets and their families. That's the worry - that they're basically sitting trapped in a vessel in an area that does have a risk of piracy."
He added: "The ball is in the court of the UK government now. We've made the representations, they know the situation out there now and they really need to take some action."
Mr Hanna described his situation as "unprecedented". He told the BBC: "It's never happened before. Hanjin are the world's seventh biggest shipping company so for it to collapse like this is unheard of."
He said: "We're trying to keep in positive spirits. There's no news of us getting to port and therefore no news of us getting off the vessel anytime soon. We're taking each day as it comes and we're generally ok."
He added: "They're [Hanjin] not actually telling us anything and we're getting very little in the way of information from anyone.
"Everyday there is more Hanjin vessels coming close to us and anchoring. There was some rumours that we overheard from another vessel that they could potentially go into port in Singapore and unload their cargo but that got cancelled.
"I believe Hanjin are currently $245m (£187m) short of the funds needed to unload all their cargo at the moment so there's certainly some way to go yet."
The troubled shipping group has debts of more than $5bn and has struggled to raise funding to rescue $14bn (£10.5bn) worth of cargo stranded round the world following its collapse.
Hanjin filed for receivership in South Korea in August after attempts to bail out the indebted company failed.
There are an estimated 89 Hanjin ships out of its 141-vessel fleet in difficulty, and some have been seized by creditors.
On Thursday, a Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are ready to provide consular assistance to any British nationals that have been affected after Hanjin Shipping filed for bankruptcy in a number of countries." | A sea cadet, stranded onboard a container vessel in the South China Sea along with three other Scots, has said he is trying to stay positive. |
Please provide a summary for the content below. | The move lifted the price of oil, with Brent crude hitting a one-year high.
"Russia is ready to accede to joint measures to reduce [oil] production, and is calling on other oil exporters to do so," said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"We support the recent Opec initiative to set production limits," he added.
In late afternoon Brent Crude oil was trading up by 2.5% at $53.21 a barrel, just off the $53.73 high hit earlier on Monday.
Speaking at the World Energy Congress in Istanbul, Mr Putin said that oil prices had "more than halved" in two years due to surplus production, provoking a "cycle of decreasing investment".
He said that if the trends persisted, they would give way to oil shortages and "new, unpredictable price hikes".
He expects to reach an agreement to support a cut at Opec's next meeting in November, he said.
"Of course, this will also cool down speculative activities and help avoid new price fluctuations," he said.
In September, members of the The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) voted to cut production for the first time in eight years.
The group's 14 members produce about a third of the world's oil and have been hit hard by falling prices, as has Russia.
Opec aims to agree to cut around 700,000 barrels per day at its policy meeting on 30 November in Vienna, bringing its output to 32.5-33 million barrels per day.
But some analysts have questioned whether all of its members will stick to the agreement.
Differences between Iran and its regional rival, Saudi Arabia, have thwarted efforts to reach a deal in the past, and Russia's latest intervention may have little impact, said John Hall, chairman at Alfaenergy group
"Russia and Opec have not worked well in the past, and while Vladimir Putin promising joint measures is welcome, whether he sticks to it is another matter," he said.
"You've also got to see the wider context: Saudi Arabia and Iran are in a proxy war in Yemen. It is still very doubtful they can come to an agreement whether Russia supports a cut or not."
However, John Kilduff, partner at New York energy hedge fund Again Capital, told the Reuters News Agency: "Putin coming out to say Russia will be part of the initiative has added another layer of credence to the speculation there will be a coordinated cut.
"At some point, the market will call them on it and say 'show us the cuts'."
In his speech Mr Putin also criticised unilateral sanctions, suggesting the US had blocked the expansion of more oil pipelines from Russia to Europe.
"The authorities in certain countries have been telling businesses to close profitable projects, refuse to buy fuel supplied via the shortest possible routes and at attractive prices," he said.
"Such actions do nothing to increase the stability of global energy system and also of the global economy as a whole." | Russia has said it will support a proposal by Opec to freeze oil production in order to reverse the slump in global prices. |
Give a concise summary of the following information. | The University of Manchester tracked "tornado hotspots" in the UK between 1980 and 2012.
It found that there had been an average of 34 tornadoes in the UK each year - particularly in southern England.
But a high proportion of these spinning columns of air had relatively low wind speeds and did not create much damage.
The researchers from the University of Manchester have produced a map showing the prevalence of tornadoes.
It found they were much more likely in England than in other parts of the UK - and if England was taken separately, it would have one of the world's highest rates of tornadoes, relative to its size.
It found there was a 6% chance of a tornado per year in the area between London and Reading. The researchers say that this means a tornado is likely once every 17 years.
There was a 5% likelihood in a zone from Bristol north to Birmingham and Manchester.
And there was a 4% likelihood of a tornado between north-east London and Ipswich.
But while tornadoes are relatively frequent in the UK, 95% of them are in two lowest categories of strength, classified as F0 or F1, with a maximum wind speed of 112mph.
Only one in 20 reaches the level of an F2 tornado, with speeds up to 157mph.
In 2005, an F2 tornado caused 19 injuries and damage costing £40m in Birmingham.
The scale goes up to F5, with wind speeds over 300mph, and it is these highly destructive tornadoes that can hit parts of the United States.
"Because tornadoes are capable of causing such damage it is important that we have some kind of idea where they are most likely to hit," said Kelsey Mulder, of the university's School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences.
"It seems that most tornadoes in the UK are created along long, narrow storms that form along cold fronts," said Ms Mulder.
She says there is no simple explanation for why some areas in the UK might be more prone to tornadoes and identification could depend on eye-witness reports. | The area between London and Reading, in Berkshire, has the highest likelihood of a tornado in the UK, according to researchers mapping their location. |

The 58-year-old Briton beat rival Sergey Bubka, a former Olympic pole vault champion, by 115 votes to 92.
One of Coe's first tasks will be to deal with the fall-out from a series of doping allegations to hit athletics.
Double Olympic champion Mo Farah and Olympic 1500m silver medallist Steve Cram have backed their countryman to make a positive impact.
Following his election, Coe tweeted that, after the birth of his children, this was the most "momentous moment" of his life.
The former chairman of London 2012, Coe replaces 82-year-old Senegalese Lamine Diack, who has been in charge for 16 years.
One of Britain's finest sportsmen, having won gold medals in the 1500m at the 1980 and 1984 Olympics and set numerous world records over both the 1500m and 800m.

His battles and rivalry with fellow Brits Steve Ovett and Cram during the 1980s became legendary and increased the popularity of middle-distance running enormously.
Coe has also been a Conservative MP, worked for Fifa and was a key figure in London's successful bid for and staging of the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics.
He was appointed an MBE in 1982, an OBE in 1990 and accepted a life peerage in 2000.
An IAAF vice-president since 2007, he becomes only the sixth president in the organisation's 103-year history.
He seemed very happy, as his initial tweets indicated.
In a subsequent interview with BBC sports editor Dan Roan, he said his appointment was "a big challenge but a great honour".
Coe added: "My sport is what fires and drives me.
"I am fortunate to be one of those people who has woken up - since the age of 11 - and athletics has shaped my day. I want to do everything I can to make sure it is in the best possible shape."
Beaten opponent Bubka, 51, who was re-elected as a vice-president, said: "I continue to serve athletics with dignity and big passion."
From a domestic point of view, reaction has been very positive.
Cram, who won silver behind Coe at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, told BBC Radio 5 live: "It's a great result for the sport."
He added Coe was the "right guy" to lead the IAAF, praising his leadership qualities and the respect he commands.
"It's not going to be easy," added Cram, "but I think Seb's prepared to be tough himself to hopefully make those changes."
UK Athletics chairman Ed Warner said Coe's election was "momentous for the sport" .
He added: "This felt like a crossroads for me. The challenges facing athletics are such that we need a great president right now and I do believe Seb's got the range of skills and the character that's required to really pull us forward."
But he warned against a quick solution to the drug issues, insisting: "It's not an overnight success story that Seb is going to ring here."
Warner also said athletics needed Coe's "commercial nous" at a time when the prestigious Diamond League, an annual series of track and field meetings held around the world, was without a headline sponsor.
USA Track and Field said it had been "impressed" with Coe's "vision for the sport", "his dedication to its cause" and "his demonstrated effectiveness as a leader".
European Athletics president Svein Arne Hansen said he was looking forward to working closely with Coe "for the good of our sport".
That sentiment was echoed by World Anti-Doping Agency president Craig Reedie, who referenced Coe's "avowed plans to protect the rights of the clean athlete".
Athletics Australia president David Grace said Coe's "wealth of knowledge in the field of sports governance and administration" will "ensure that athletics globally is in capable hands in years to come".
Outgoing president Diack added: "For me, it's a dream come true that I can pass on the baton to Sebastian, who has been prepared for the job."
Helping restore the battered image of athletics following a number of harmful doping cases and allegations.
Earlier this month, The Sunday Times and German broadcaster ARD/WDR alleged an "extraordinary extent of cheating" after obtaining blood test data from 5,000 athletes between 2001 and 2012.
Coe, who will hold an initial term of four years, claimed the reports were a "declaration of war" on his sport.
He has already promised to create of an independent anti-doping panel to address the issue within his first 100 days in office.
Warner added: "If there's one person that I know will pursue cheats to all four corners of the earth, it is Seb."
Coe's tenure will be ultimately judged on how successful he is in the fight against doping, according to BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent Richard Conway.
"As Warner has said, the IAAF must now do the right things and be seen to do the right things," added Conway.
"That is Lord Coe's challenge in both the short and long term.
"But if you want a signal of the scale of the problems he faces over public confidence, then look no further than the men's 100m final at the World Championships in Beijing on Sunday.
"If Justin Gatlin, a man convicted not once but twice for doping offences, beats Usain Bolt, the sport's poster boy, it will merely underline the task ahead for athletics and for Coe."
Tackling the drugs issues aside, he has also pledged to:
Coe has highlighted the need for a more structured calendar and the need to be more innovative in how the IAAF presents the sport.
In his manifesto, he said he wants to consider an 'IAAF Street Athletics' circuit in major cities across the world.
He also wants to increase the quality on show at the Diamond League events, the IAAF's flagship one-day meetings.
As far as the national federations are concerned, Coe intends to give an Olympic Athletics Dividend, which would provide at least US$ 100,000 of extra funding over four years, to all 214 IAAF member federations. | Former Olympic 1500m champion Lord Coe is the new president of the IAAF, the body that governs world athletics. |

The routes to Chilwell and Clifton have been under construction since 2012 and were meant to open in December 2014.
Phil Hewitt, executive chair of Tramlink Nottingham said there had not been enough "risk time" factored in to deal with problems.
He said the opening was "tantalisingly close" but would not confirm a date.
Mr Hewitt said further driver training and timetable testing were being carried out ahead of the route's official opening.
It was "unfortunate", he said, problems had resulted in "quite an extension" to the planned construction time.
"We believed we had sufficient time to build the job within the three years that we said we would do it," he said.
He said problems included finding unmapped utility lines or went on for longer than expected.
Mr Hewitt addressed some of the "myths" around the reasons behind the delays, which included rumours the "wrong type of concrete" had been used.
"Something's happened with the design that's caused the concrete to crack in ways we weren't expecting," he said.
"It's not systematic across the whole network, it's fairly localised and is being dealt with now."
He also said claims some tram lines had been put in the wrong place and that trams may bump into each other when passing on certain corners were also untrue.
The extension will more than double the size of Nottingham's tram network, with about 10 miles (17.5km) of new track and 28 new tram stops.
Their washout against Surrey left them still top of the Southern Group.
"They look very strong. You've got a wealth of experience with Jacques Rudolph, Colin Ingram and David Miller with the bat," said Thomas.
"Then you've got options with the ball, with spin and with seam if the wicket dictates."
Speaking to BBC Wales Sport, Thomas added: "It's a well-balanced team, with Nye Donald and Andrew Salter flying the flag for the Welshmen."
Thomas, who played on Finals Day in 2004, currently coaches and captains the Wales Minor Counties team which is used as a development side for young Welsh talent, as well as coaching Wales Under-15s.
Eight of the 2004 semi-final side were products of the Welsh system, so how does he view the lack of home-grown players in the current T20 Blast side?
"[Coach] Robert Croft and [chief executive] Hugh Morris have been clear in what they've said: they've got to be good enough before they play," said Thomas.
"It's our place as coaches with the Minor Counties, Cricket Wales, the academy or the second team to put them in a place where they are good enough.
"There are good players coming through, they've got to be nurtured into the first-class environment. Kiran Carlson, Owen Morgan, Lukas Carey have come through the system. It is creating players and it's then [a question of] the opportunities they get among the senior players."
Championship chances
While Thomas understands the imperative to target short-term success in the high-profile T20 Blast, he also hopes the youngsters will get more of a chance in the last five matches of the Championship, with promotion from Division Two now a distant dream.
"Whether Glamorgan will blood some youngsters in the Championship, it's another way to do it because the revenue is from one-day cricket and they want to fill the stands and the hospitality [boxes]," Thomas added.
"I'd like to think Robert and Hugh are contemplating it, dependent on the form of the boys in the second team." | An amazing 456 hot air balloons took to the skies at the same time in France, breaking a record set two years earlier at the same event.

But a Kremlin spokesman has now said that will not happen as there was "no appropriate time in the two men's schedules".
However Dmitry Peskov said that they could still meet at a later date.
"We were in correspondence with him (Elton John) a couple of weeks ago, because there had been an agreement that, if their schedules allow, this meeting would take place.

"After a number of high-profile retirements, Australia had not quite come to grips with the fact that the golden age was over and Hughes was earmarked to lead the next generation of stars."
The Courier Mail says no other tragic incident in Australian sports has caused "more widespread grief than this heartbreaking tale of a strong-willed young cricketer".
"An impish cricketer with a warm, cheeky grin who had no enemies in the game, Hughes will forever be remembered as one of the game's most likeable characters," the paper says.
"His quirky home-made technique fashioned on the family banana farm in Macksville made him a captivating study of originality and hand-eye co-ordination."
Beyond his amazing "hand-eye co-ordination" and "subtle footwork", most writers are unanimous in their praise for Hughes' character.
"Loved by everybody in the cricket community and a close friend of captain Michael Clarke, the batsman's fate has stunned the game," sports pundit Peter Lalor writes in The Australian.
Sports expert Malcolm Knox writes in The Age that Hughes will be best remembered for his unique style and his demeanour as "a low-key country boy".
"Phillip Hughes was an unforgettable cricketer, a personality cricketer: a little battler who was also thrilling to watch, a low-key country boy who expressed himself on the field with a uniquely flamboyant style," he writes.
English papers too are shocked by the elegant left-hander's tragic death.
Russell Jackson of The Guardian says Hughes seemed "destined for greatness at a young age". "It was a level of expectation and pressure that Hughes wore with humility and a path for which he prepared himself diligently," he adds.
In South Asia, Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar has led tributes for Hughes.
"Shocked to hear about Phil. Sad day for cricket," Tendulkar tweeted.
Sandipan Sharma writes in the Firstpost website that Hughes' "unfortunate death... once again reminds us of the dangers of playing any game, even cricket, where the batsmen often walk out protected from head to toe like warriors".
In Pakistan, batsman Shahid Afridi has paid his "heartfelt condolences to the family of Australian cricketer Phil Hughes on the sad demise".

The video assistant referee (VAR) technology can only review incidents relating to goals, red cards, mistaken identities and penalties.
"We will use video refereeing because we've had nothing but positive feedback so far," Infantino said.
Video assistance was introduced for the first time in a Fifa competition at the Club World Cup in Japan in December.
It was used to correct two decisions as Spain beat France in a friendly last month, having previously been used in France's 3-1 friendly win in Italy last September.
The system has been tested in several domestic leagues, with Australia's A-League becoming the first top-tier competition to employ the technology earlier this month.
It could also be used in English football as soon as August, bringing forward the start of a planned trial by several months.
The Football Association had initially said the technology could be trialled in the FA Cup in January 2018, but it might now begin in the EFL Cup first round.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) says ranibizumab, sold under the brand name Lucentis, is too expensive to use in people with diabetic macular oedema.
Charities say they will continue to campaign for the drug to be used.
At least 50,000 people in the UK are affected by this eye condition.
Macular oedema occurs when fluid leaks from the small blood vessels in the eye.
The fluid collects in the central part of the retina at the back of the eye, called the macular area, which can lead to severe visual impairment.
Straight lines may appear wavy and people can have blurred central vision or sensitivity to light.
Sight can become so impaired that the person can no longer read, work or drive.
Laser treatment has been the standard treatment for diabetic macular oedema on the NHS, but this only stops vision from deteriorating further.
An injection of Lucentis in the eye, however, can improve vision.
NICE already recommends Lucentis to the NHS for a different eye condition called wet age-related macular degeneration.
Four UK charities - Diabetes UK, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the Macular Disease Society and the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) - are urging government to rapidly agree a Patient Access Scheme with the manufacturer of Lucentis, Novartis, in order to bring down the cost of the drug to the NHS for treating diabetic macular oedema.
Currently, the drug costs £742.17 per injection.
Steve Winyard from the RNIB said: "We now hope that a patient access scheme can be agreed swiftly, so that patients with diabetic macular oedema are not left to needlessly lose their sight."
A spokeswoman for Novartis said the company would continue to work with NICE and the Department of Health to "ensure appropriate patients are able to receive this very important treatment, which in clinical trials has been shown to double the likelihood of gaining vision and reduce the chance of losing vision by up to three-fold compared to laser treatment".
Novartis believes that NICE did not consult sufficiently with clinical and patient experts on the data it submitted to the appraisal committee.
But Sir Andrew Dillon, Chief Executive at NICE, said the manufacturer significantly underestimated the cost of treatment. | A drug that could save the sight of people with diabetes will not be made available on the NHS in England and Wales, an advisory body has concluded. |

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | The SNP-led debate on the refugee crisis ended in a vote on motion which had the backing of Labour, the Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru and the SDLP.
Tory ministers said Britain was doing more than most nations to help those fleeing the Syrian conflict.
The government won the vote by a majority of 52, with MPs voting 331 to 259.
It was the second debate on the issue in the past two days.
The SNP said it had used its first Opposition Day debate to again raise the issue because the response from the UK government had been "woefully inadequate".
They welcomed Prime Minister David Cameron's commitment to accept up to 20,000 refugees from camps over the next five years but called on ministers to publish a report next month detailing how that number could be increased and encompassing refugees already in Europe .
At the start of the debate, the SNP's Westminster leader Angus Robertson told MPs that the government needed to accommodate refugees from the Syrian conflict "as quickly as possible".
However, International Development Secretary Justine Greening told MPs that since "day one" Britain had been at the forefront of responses to the crisis.
She also called on other countries to step-up their efforts in supporting longer-term UN work to deal with crises such as that seen in Syria.
Leading the chamber debate, Mr Robertson said: "My mail bag has been crammed-packed with people of good will, firstly calling for the government to do more and secondly giving concrete offers of help and assistance."
He added: "These offers of help are being made domestically and internationally.
"The government should go away and work with the English local government association, the Scottish government, Welsh government, the authorities in Northern Ireland, with churches and others to accommodate as quickly as possible - this is a life or death issue and we should get on with it."
Labour's Hilary Benn said that he very much welcomed the spirit in which the SNP had sought all-party support.
He added: "It is right that the House is debating how Britain should respond to this crisis - it has been described as the largest movement of refugees since the end of the second world war.
"But what is the reality? The reality is, it is mothers and fathers and children, brothers and sisters forced by bloody conflict to leave their homes. Their schools have been destroyed their relatives have been killed.
"They flee from the land from which they were born to seek help from the kindness of strangers.
"Everything they have and knew has been destroyed. They see no hope, no future and no life. And deep down every single one of us in this chamber today understands because it is exactly what we would do if those we loved were confronted by the same horror."
The minister, Ms Greening, said she recognised that there were "no easy answers" on how to deal with the refugee crisis.
However, she added: "Since day one, Britain has been at the forefront of the response and we have evolved our response as this complex crisis has evolved.
"Britain has done, and will continue to do, a huge amount to help the Syrians caught up in this crisis.
"And of course our priority has been to stop the senseless deaths of refugees and migrants making the perilous journeys and indeed our assets, including Royal Navy ships, have played their part in the European response that has helped rescue over 6,700 people in the Mediterranean.
"We are also working alongside other European partners to tackle those criminal gangs and trafficking networks that profit from this human misery."
Closing the debate for the SNP, foreign affairs spokesman Alex Salmond said refugees should be seen as people who could do great things for Britain, just as refugees from the Holocaust had achieved much in the country.
He said: "Although this debate hasn't been guilty of dehumanising language and surprisingly, because many people speaking in this debate pointed out that they were the sons, daughters, grandchildren of immigrants or refugees themselves, not enough has been said about what an opportunity this is.
"This is not a burden, a problem, and a drag.
"This is an opportunity and every family, every child, every human being that we contribute to saving is an opportunity to do great things for this country in the same way as the refugees who were saved from the death camps have done great things for this country."
That this House recognises the funding the Government has committed to the humanitarian initiatives to provide sanctuary in camps for refugees across the Middle East; calls for a greater international effort through the United Nations to secure the position of such displaced people; recognises that the Government has committed to accepting 20,000 vulnerable people from camps in Syria over the next five years but calls for a Government report to be laid before the House by 12 October 2015 detailing how that number can be increased, encompassing refugees already in Europe and including a plan for the remainder of this year to reflect the overwhelming urgency of this humanitarian crisis; further notes that refugees arriving in European Union territory also have a moral and legal right to be treated properly; and, given the pressure on Southern European countries, further calls for the UK to play its full and proper role, in conjunction with European partners, in providing sanctuary to our fellow human beings. | A House of Commons motion calling for further UK government support for refugees has been rejected by MPs. |

Ian Marshall, UFU, said the turnout was "testament to the fears" of people in the farming industry.
Referring to politicians at Stormont, he said: "For all their flaws we do have good representatives who care".
He told several hundred protesters that the UFU was "not political but it was practical" and he urged politicians to "do whatever it takes, we need you".
Stormont Agriculture Minister Michelle O'Neill said the range of people at the protest "shows the depth of concern right along the supply chain".
"This mobilisation sends a powerful message to the European Commission, and indeed the British government, that we are not prepared to stand by and watch our most important industry collapse," said the Sinn Féin assembly member.

Summarize the information in the following document. | Karl Daymond fell ill just before he was due to speak at a meeting about Drill Hall in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, where he had directed shows.
He was a passionate supporter of the arts who wanted to ensure the future of the venue.
Chepstow mayor Dale Rooke said he was "one of those larger than life characters" with a "huge heart and a huge passion".
"He will be sorely missed and it's a huge, huge loss to Chepstow," he added.
Mr Rooke said Mr Daymond was "quite stressed" about speaking at the meeting, which was organised to allow locals to have their say on the future of the hall.
It came amid a row over whether the venue's ownership should be transferred from the local authority into the hands of a newly-formed charity.
The hall secured £50,000 from the Big Lottery in February to fund renovations with plans for a further £1m bid dependent on who owned it in future.
Mr Rooke said: "It was an emotional meeting but we knew it was going to be. About 80 people were present.
"It was particularly traumatic as when he collapsed, everyone was stuck in the council chamber and lots of the people in the room knew Karl."
Mr Daymond trained at The National Opera Studio before touring the world with both the English and Welsh national operas.
His career included performing at the BBC Proms in 1999 and 2002, and twice at the Royal Variety Performance, in 1982 performing The Pirate King from Pirates of Penzance, and as a soloist in 2004.
He appeared with Hollywood star Dustin Hoffman in a 1989 production of the Merchant of Venice, and took a starring role in Leonard Bernstein's Grammy-nominated one-act opera Trouble in Tahiti in 2001. | An opera singer collapsed and died while arguing to save an arts venue. |

"I just feel it would not be a relaxing evening at the theatre," he said of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
"I assume every night there are 1,000 Harry Potter fans in the audience," he continued, adding it was "fantastic" they were there to see the play.
Radcliffe is shortly to return to the London stage in an Old Vic revival of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
The 27-year-old said he had read Sir Tom Stoppard's play "at a fairly formative age", having studied it while on the Harry Potter set, and could remember being "baffled and delighted".
First staged in 1966, the play replays Shakespeare's Hamlet from the point of view of two hapless minor characters.
Radcliffe plays Rosencrantz in the 50th anniversary production, while Joshua McGuire plays Guildenstern.
Speaking to the BBC's Rebecca Jones, Radcliffe said he had studied Shakespeare at school but had never performed it on stage.
He said Sir Tom's play, which features the scenes from Hamlet in which Rosencrantz and Guildenstern appear, was "an amazing introduction" to the Bard of Avon's work.
"It's a play so full of ideas there's always going to be something new to play with," he went on, adding he was "starting to enjoy the poetry" of the Shakespeare sections.
The actor also revealed he would "probably just ignore" fans who attempt to record his performance, recalling that people had tried to talk to him on stage when he made his theatre debut in Equus.
Directed by David Leveaux, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead runs from 25 February to 29 April.

The memo suggested Ms Sturgeon had told the French ambassador she would prefer David Cameron's Conservatives to win the 2015 general election.
Ms Sturgeon denied the claim, and the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards was asked to investigate.
The commissioner has now said it falls outside her remit.
This was because Mr Carmichael had been made aware of the memo through official Scottish Office channels, and not due to his role as an MP.
The commissioner, Kathryn Hudson, said: "I have established that the conduct which led to my inquiry falls outside my remit. I do not, therefore, make any criticism, or indeed any other comment, on Mr Carmichael's conduct in this affair."
Responding to the commissioner's report, Mr Carmichael said: "I am pleased that this is now resolved and will continue to focus on getting on with my job as MP for Orkney and Shetland."
Ms Hudson said she did not have sufficient information from the Cabinet Office to be able to answer questions about Mr Carmichael's role in the matter at the beginning of her inquiry.
She added: "On the same day that I initiated my inquiry, I wrote to the Cabinet Secretary to ask if he might release to me a full copy of the report of the leak inquiry carried out by Cabinet Office officials.
"On June 16 2015, the Cabinet Secretary told me that he did not think it would be appropriate to release a copy of the investigative report."
The commissioner also used her report into the matter to suggest that a review of the code of conduct for MPs should look at whether members seeking re-election should continue not to be covered by its rules during the period of a general election campaign.
Both Ms Sturgeon and the French ambassador insisted she had not made the comments contained in the Scotland Office memo, which was obtained by the Daily Telegraph newspaper ahead of last year's general election.
The memo had contained a disclaimer that parts of the conversation between the Scottish first minister and the ambassador may have been "lost in translation".
Mr Carmichael claimed in a Channel 4 TV interview at the time that the first he had heard of the leak was when he received a phone call from a journalist.
He had in fact authorised his special advisor to leak the memo, an action he admitted days after being elected as the MP for Orkney and Shetland.
Four of his constituents launched a legal action aimed at having his election overturned, claiming he misled voters over the memo.
But judges ruled in December that it had not been proven beyond reasonable doubt Mr Carmichael had committed an "illegal practice".
However, judge Lady Paton said in the ruling that Mr Carmichael had told a "blatant lie" in the Channel 4 interview. | Britain's Amir Khan is in talks with Manny Pacquiao to be the WBO world welterweight champion's next title challenger, both boxers have said.

Summarize the content provided below. | A report by the Royal College of Surgeons found a third of local NHS health bosses in England put restrictions on access to surgery.
But it says this goes against official guidance and can prolong patient pain.
However, some local NHS groups criticised in the report say their polices are based on good evidence.
The Royal College of Surgeons has been increasingly alarmed about the rationing of surgery in the NHS in the tough financial climate.
Its report is based on freedom of information returns from nearly all of the 209 clinical commissioning groups in England and all seven health boards in Wales.
While some CCGs have voluntary policies in place, where patients are encouraged to stop smoking or lose weight, others have introduced mandatory policies, which means patients have to meet fixed criteria before surgery.
The college says mandatory policies are "a cause for concern" and it fears patients with a high body mass index (BMI) or who smoke are becoming "soft targets" for NHS savings.
The report reveals 31% of CCGs and one health board in Wales have at least one policy requiring people to lose weight or stop smoking before they can be referred for routine surgery.
Local NHS groups which compel patients to meet fixed criteria before surgery include:
Dr Hari Pathmanathan, who chairs East and North Hertfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, said there were good reasons why they asked some patients to lose weight and stop smoking before being given an anaesthetic.
"These patients are much more likely to suffer serious breathing problems, get infections and have heart, kidney and lung complications," he said.
"It also takes them longer to recover, and they have a higher risk of dying under anaesthetic.
"It is for these health reasons that patients who have a higher risk because of their weight are not be booked for routine surgery until they have lost enough weight to improve the outcomes of their surgery, although no-one would be asked to wait for more than nine months."
Dr Pathmanathan added that every patient's case was considered individually, based on their health needs, and the restrictions were for planned surgery only.
The report suggests one in five CCGs has mandatory policies on BMI levels before hip and knee replacement surgery, while 4% have mandatory policies on getting patients to stop smoking before hip and knee replacement surgery.
Of the CCGs that responded, 22% reported having at least one "voluntary" policy in place.
The Royal College of Surgeons said any blanket ban on surgery based on a patient's weight or whether they smoked was wrong and not supported by national guidance.
Instead, president Clare Marx said, patients should be encouraged to sign up to programmes to help them stop smoking and manage their weight while awaiting surgery.
"NHS surgical treatment should be based on clinical guidance and patients should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis," she said.
"In some instances, a patient might need surgery in order to help them to do exercise and lose weight.
"While it is difficult to categorically prove such policies are aimed at saving money, it is unlikely to be a coincidence that many financially challenged CCGs are restricting access to surgery."
She added National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance did not support these mandatory bans for routine surgery.
British Orthopaedic Association president Tim Wilton said there was no clinical or financial justification for refusing to fund hip or knee replacements.
"Good outcomes can be achieved for patients regardless of whether they smoke or are obese, even at BMIs of over 50, and these surgeries are highly cost effective, typically delivering sustained pain relief for a cost that equates to just £7.50 a week," he said.
"Hard-and-fast rules also undermine the NHS's ability to involve patients in decisions about their own care, and are a distraction from the task at hand: making sure patients receive the best possible advice and care, to enable them to make the best possible decisions for their health - including losing weight and stopping smoking where appropriate."
However, Dr Anita Ray-Chowdhury, clinical director of system change at Luton CCG, defended their approach.
"We do everything we can to ensure that patients who need urgent or life saving surgery get the help they need quickly, irrespective of their weight or if they smoke.
"For less urgent surgery there is strong clinical evidence showing that being overweight and smoking can have an adverse effect to the outcome, so we advise that clinicians work with the patients to take a holistic approach by addressing lifestyle factors that may improve the outcome of surgery." | Surgeons are worried overweight patients and smokers in England and Wales are being denied surgery to save money. |

Hospital car parking fees were abolished in Scotland and Wales in 2008, although a small number of hospitals still charge as they remain tied in to contracts with private companies that manage their parking facilities. Fees may be charged in Northern Ireland.
In England, whether to charge fees is a decision for individual trusts, with some making parking free for particular patients such as cancer patients or those using dialysis, or for parents staying overnight with their children.
Jeremy Corbyn told BBC News: "This would cost £162m.
"Going to a hospital shouldn't incur an additional charge. In reality it's a charge on sickness."
That figure is based on Freedom of Information requests made by the Press Association at the end of last year.
Responses from 89 of the 120 NHS trusts in England showed they had made £120,662,650 in parking fees in the financial year 2015-16.
Labour has assumed that the remaining trusts would have had the same average parking fees as those that responded, and extrapolated to reach the figure of £162m.
That is not statistical best practice, especially because some of the bigger trusts, such as the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, did not supply 2015-16 figures.
The previous year, that trust alone made £3,728,000 in parking charges, so the overall figure for England could be considerably higher.
Even though fees generally aren't charged in Scotland and Wales, if extra money is to be spent on car parking at hospitals in England then money will also have to go to the other nations under the Barnett formula, which Labour says would take the bill up to £190m.
There could be additional charges on top of that, as hospitals that currently contract out their car parking would have to maintain their own car parks and find a way to patrol them to ensure that hospital car parks weren't being filled up by people who were not using the hospital.
By the standards of health spending, £162m is pretty cheap, approximately equal to the amount it costs to run the NHS in England for 12 hours.
Nonetheless, it is a big issue for patients and visitors who have to pay to park at hospitals.
NHS Digital releases average parking costs at hospitals, although not the overall amounts raised.
A small number of hospitals charge as much as £3 an hour for parking.
There was also a report from the RAC that criticised hospital parking in England for being "unreasonably stressful".
It said too many car parks made users decide in advance how long they would need to park for, so that they often either overpaid or had to leave appointments to put more money in the meter.
Labour also highlighted some NHS staff having to pay to park at the hospitals where they worked.

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Winch operator Paul Ormsby and winch man Ciarán Smith have been missing since Rescue 116 crashed off the County Mayo coast on 14 March.
Four people were on board the helicopter.
Capt Dara Fitzpatrick, died after she was rescued from the sea hours after the crash.
The body of her co-pilot, Capt Mark Duffy, was later recovered from the wreckage.
Orla Smith, the sister of Ciarán Smith, told RTÉ that local knowledge from fishermen along the west coast could be crucial in finding the two men.
"To all fishing vessels, big and small, from Achill Island to Aranmore we are appealing to them to please come and help us now.
"We need them, we need their knowledge. We need them to assist in the ongoing efforts to find Ciarán and Paul."
She also said that both her family and the family of Mr Ormsby were devastated when their bodies were not found with the helicopter's wreckage.
"We are doing our best to keep going to stay as strong as possible and as positive as we can be but it is tough.
"We need those boys home, now. We really do. My parents need him home. My sister-in-law needs him home. My nieces need him home. They have to come home now. We need to find him."
RTÉ has reported that fishermen in the area around Blacksod, County Mayo, are willing to take part in a major sea search in the coming days.
It is also hoped that larger fishing vessels will take part so that the operation could extend to about 35 nautical miles off shore.
An investigation into what happened to the helicopter is continuing.
The Air Accident Investigation Unit has said there was no indication of any mechanical problems in the seconds before the impact.

Give a brief summary of the following article. | Journalist Carlos Valverde reported in February that Mr Morales had a son with Gabriela Zapata, a woman detained over alleged influence peddling.
Mr Morales acknowledged he had had a two-year relationship with Ms Zapata.
But he said that Ms Zapata had told him their son had died shortly after birth.
In the latest twist in the confusing story, Mr Valverde now says that Mr Morales and Ms Zapata never had a child together.
Mr Valverde was conducting an investigation into alleged influence peddling involving a Chinese firm operating in Bolivia.
Ms Zapata was working as a senior manager at the firm, CAMC, which had been given lucrative state contracts.
Mr Valverde reported that she had had a relationship with Mr Morales from which a son was born.
Mr Morales, who is not married, acknowledged the relationship, which he said lasted from 2005 to 2007.
The president also said that Ms Zapata had told him she had given birth to his son in 2007 who, she told him, had died shortly after birth.
But Ms Zapata's aunt, questioned by reporters as she was entering the jail in La Paz where her niece was being held, said the boy was alive and called Fidel Ernesto.
Mr Morales said that if his son was indeed alive he would like to meet him.
When Ms Zapata refused, Mr Morales asked a court to order her to let him see the child within five days.
According to Mr Valverde, the child presented to the court was "neither the child of Gabriela Zapata nor that of Evo Morales, and even less so the joint child of the two".
The journalist also alleges that Ms Zapata "passed the child off as her son".
Mr Valverde did not give any further details as to where his new information came from but it matches the ruling of the family court judge asked by Mr Morales to investigate the case.
The judge ruled on 6 May that the "physical non-existence of the child" had been proven.
Judge Jacqueline Rada said Ms Zapata had refused to undergo DNA testing or let the child she presented at court as Mr Morales' son be tested.
Supporters of Mr Morales say Mr Valverde's allegations in early February hurt the president ahead of a referendum which aimed to change the constitution to allow him to run for another term.
Mr Morales narrowly lost the referendum.
They are the first official documents from the conflict to be made public and contain testimonies from soldiers who say they were poorly equipped and cold.
They say they were severely beaten for leaving the trenches to look for food.
The conflict over the islands cost the lives of more than 900 soldiers.
For years, war veterans have complained about the terrible conditions during the conflict, including lack of proper boots and coats, says the BBC's Ignacio de los Reyes in Buenos Aires.
The previously secret files describe mock executions and soldiers being tied up inside empty graves.
A lieutenant describes how another officer tied his hands and legs to this back and left him face down on the wet sand of a cold Falklands beach for eight hours.
A sergeant says he had to be operated on after being kicked in the testicles.
"These documents lift the veil on facts that were hidden for so many years by the armed forces," said Ernesto Alonso, from a veterans group in La Plata.
The Falklands War began in April 1982, when Argentine troops invaded the British overseas territory which Argentina calls the Malvinas.
A British task force was sent to the area and regained control of the islands in June. Three Falklands civilians and 255 British servicemen died during the conflict.
The number of Argentine dead is estimated at about 650.
Argentine defeat precipitated the end of the country's brutal military government, which was already facing serious economic problems and lack of popular support.
Despite widespread criticism in Argentina of the 1982 invasion, most Argentines continue to claim the islands as theirs.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has previously described British presence as "a blatant exercise of 19th-Century colonialism".
The British government says it will defend the self-determination of the islanders.
An overwhelming majority of Falkland residents voted in March 2013 to remain a British territory. About 2,900 people live on the islands. | A Bolivian journalist who made headlines when he alleged that Bolivian President Evo Morales had a son whose existence had been unknown until then, now says the child never existed.

Please summarize the passage below. | The pharmaceutical firm, whose chief executive Sir Andrew Witty backed the Remain campaign, said the UK's skilled workforce and competitive tax system helped drive the decision.
It said most of the products made at the expanded sites would be exported.
The firm said it expected its investment to create jobs.
The company has invested £750m in new facilities over the past six years. This latest decision takes the total up to £1bn.
The investment will be spread across three of its UK manufacturing sites: Barnard Castle in County Durham, Montrose in Angus, and Ware in Hertfordshire.
GlaxoSmithKline currently employs 16,000 people in the UK, 6,000 of which are employed in manufacturing.
"It is testament to our skilled UK workforce and the country's leading position in life sciences that we are making these investments in advanced manufacturing here," said Sir Andrew.
There were some fears that pharmaceutical firms such as GSK and AstraZeneca may seek to move their headquarters following the outcome of the EU referendum.
"We believed a vote to leave would create uncertainty and potentially regulatory change in our industry which from our perspective was unnecessary," he told the BBC.
"But the underlying attractiveness in terms of the UK's economic strengths and its fiscal environment haven't changed and that's why we feel very strongly that this investment makes sense."
Sir Andrew had said prior to the vote that leaving the EU "would create uncertainty and potentially add complexity" for the UK's life sciences sector.
Responding to GSK's announcement, the Business and Energy Secretary, Greg Clark said: "An investment of this scale is a clear vote of confidence in Britain and underlines our position as a global business leader.
"GSK's recognition of our skilled workforce, world leading scientific capabilities and competitive tax environment is further proof that there really is no place better in Europe to grow a business."
GSK's outgoing chief executive Sir Andrew Witty has previously said that a vote to leave the EU would be "a mistake" as the company benefited from the free movement of highly qualified scientists across Europe and a single EU framework for regulating and approving drugs.
But the company has clearly decided that Britain's highly-skilled workforce, relatively low tax rates, and incentives for investing in research outweigh Brexit concerns.
There is also the benefit of a cheaper pound when producing products bound for foreign markets.
Sterling has fallen 10% against the dollar and the euro since the referendum on 24 June.
The decision will, of course, be welcomed by a government keen to demonstrate that the UK remains an attractive place to invest.
Especially because despite a series of high profile investments in the UK since the referendum, recent economic surveys have pointed to a decline in business confidence.
Meanwhile the drugmaker said it was set for big gains for the rest of the year due to the weaker pound in the wake of the Brexit vote. Most of the company's costs are in pounds sterling but its sales are mainly overseas.
Quarterly sales rose 11% to £6.53bn in the three months to June, but the company posted a pre-tax loss of £318m for the quarter - although it managed a profit of £242m for the first half. | GlaxoSmithKline is to invest £275m to expand its UK manufacturing sites, saying the country remains "an attractive location" despite Brexit. |

Live updates and more from the East Midlands
Some festival goers and traders were still attempting to leave the site on Monday, after the mud made driving conditions difficult.
People who had train tickets to travel back on Monday were also offered the chance to travel back on Sunday, after the cancellation was announced.
Katy Bull, 31, from Belper, went to the festival in a group of eight but decided to leave on Saturday.
She believes metal plates put down to help people drive on the site damaged her tyres and said none of her group had their bags searched.
"People just abandoned cars," she said.
"Yes, the weather was a factor but there were no contingency plans put in place. Glastonbury and Download deal with rain.
"People could've walked in with absolutely anything. I'm getting fed up with people saying it was just the rain, it was just horrendous.
"I contacted them [the organisers] straight away and told them I damaged my car and wanted reimbursing.
"The only response I got was they'd get back to us."
The weather stopped headliners The Vaccines from taking to the stage, but Stereophonics and Jake Bugg's performances were rearranged.
Event director John Drape said he was "gutted" at what had happened but they had not been caught out by the weather.
He added they had spent 30% more on infrastructure and brought in 80 tonnes of woodchip to stabilise tracks.
But many festival goers took to social media to say they had seen no signs of the measures brought in to improve conditions.
On 24 July, children's entertainment providers Angel Gardens put a statement on their Facebook page stating they had pulled out of Y Not "due to health and safety concerns around the organisation of the event".
The BBC has approached the organisers for further comment.
Steve Heap, from the Association of Festival Organisers, said: "It's fairly unusual... a lot of people get rain, but to be hit that hard in one go was most unfortunate.

Give a short summary of the provided document. | The Geneva-based tech investor has bought a stake in Zuora - a firm that sets up and runs billing services.
Zuora's software helps its clients offer flexible subscriptions. Customers gain greater choice over the length and substance of the service taken out.
For example, a magazine could offer a digital delivery of its sports section every other month of the year.
Zuora's current clients include newspapers, cloud-based service providers and business information publishers.
However, Index believes the model is applicable to a much wider range of sectors.
"We don't see an end or a limit in sight," Index Ventures partner Michelangelo Volpi told the BBC.
"On the consumer side there isn't a big large up-front outlay of cash which is favourable to the consumer, and on the business side there is an ongoing long-term relationship... which can potentially be more lucrative.
"It wouldn't be crazy to think that more than half the things we consume are going to be some kind of a subscription-based relationship."
Index has not disclosed the size of its investment beyond the fact it was the lead investor in a $36m (£23m) deal.
Zuora is the brainchild of Tien Tzuo, a California-based veteran of the business software subscription service Salesforce.
He set up the company four years ago and has since attracted customers including the Financial Times, News International, Hewlett Packard, Dell, Thomson Reuters and US internet radio provider Pandora.
Mr Tzuo believes that within the next three years, Europe will account for 50% of his firm's revenue.
"The world is moving away from a manufacturing economy to a services or subscription economy," Mr Tzuo told the BBC.
"[So] flexibility in how you package, price and figure out what the customer really wants becomes really critical."
Zuora offers clients the ability to offer adaptable subscription plans - whether that means renting a car for irregular periods of time or selling certain sections of a newspaper rather than the whole publication.
It then automates the collection of payments and, if the client permits, allows customers to make changes to their subscription package when they want.
Businesses have access to their subscribers' details, aiding marketing and advertising sales.
This is popular with publishers who are unhappy that Apple has refused to share information on users signed up via its Newsstand and app store subscription services. The iPad maker only makes an exception if customers give it permission to pass on their data.
Zuora's clients takes on the responsibility for storing customers' credit card details. Its clients therefore avoid the risk of an embarrassing hacking attack or theft by a corrupt employee.
"The credit cards never touch their systems, they never touch their servers, they never touch their disc drive, they never even have to touch their network," Mr Tzuo said.
"So we handle it all, and we invest a ton on security on our side".
Zuora is targeting companies of all sizes. One of its smaller customers is the London start-up Social Go, a social network software designer.
Chief executive Alex Halliday said he had had teething problems with Zuora's service and had to work to make their systems compatible. However, he said it was still the best subscription platform on the market.
"We were looking for a platform that would let us avoid having to build our own, and would scale as our business grew, allowing us to solve a variety of complex billing problems that we were facing," he said.
"There were simpler offerings that would have done what we needed today, but probably wouldn't have done what we needed tomorrow."
Index Ventures needs others to follow Social Go's lead if it is to cash in a profit after its typical four-to-six year investment timetable.
The firm's previous success stories include the online gambling website Betfair, the movie rental service Lovefilm and the webchat provider Skype.
It also took a recent stake in Dropbox - an online storage rental company - with the same 500m euro ($674m, £428m) fund it used to invest in Zuora. | Index Ventures has placed a bet on subscription services overturning traditional sales models. |
Summarize this article briefly. | The bank's PMI survey for December found a score of 50.3, up from 49.8 the previous month.
A figure of above 50 suggests Scottish businesses are growing, while a figure below 50 suggests contraction.
The bank's commentary on its survey described the rate of growth as "marginal".
Alasdair Gardner of the Bank of Scotland said: "Despite returning to expansion territory, Scottish manufacturers struggled to cope with a lack of new orders from both domestic and foreign markets.
"This acted as a brake on overall output growth."
Staffing numbers declined in December for the first time in five months. Manufacturing continued to reduce the size of its workforce, counteracting a modest rise in service-sector employment.
This reflected an increase in new work in the service industries, while new orders were down for manufacturers.
The survey results also indicated businesses being squeezed between increasing costs and a continuing fall in the prices they can charge customers.
Mr Gardner added: "On a positive note, service providers showed signs of economic optimism, with headcounts and new business levels expanding.
"However, these improvements were marginal, and insufficient to propel the economy in a higher gear at the end of 2015." | Research published by the Bank of Scotland has indicated that Scotland's private sector may be starting to grow again. |

Summarize the following excerpt. | Her father, Michael - the vicar of St Mary's, Ealing - and her boyfriend were beaten with cricket bats by the men, who demanded money and jewellery.
It was a sexual attack that shocked the nation, became headline news and was subsequently labelled the "Ealing vicarage rape".
The media coverage of the case and the sentencing of the men who attacked Ms Saward - who later became Jill Drake - led to a public outcry about how rape victims were treated.
Ringleader Robert Horscroft, then 34, who did not take part in the rape, was sentenced to 14 years in jail for his part in the burglary.
Martin McCall, then 22, was given five years for rape and a further five for burglary, while Christopher Byrne, who was also 22, was given three years for his part in the sexual assault and five for the burglary.
During sentencing, Old Bailey Judge Robert Leonard said the trauma suffered by Ms Saward was "not so very great".
Ms Saward's case affected the way rape victims were treated and is still being felt 30 years later.
The public backlash against the media coverage and subsequent sentencing helped bring about changes to the way sexual assault cases were viewed.
In particular, there was uproar at how one of the defendants had been given a longer sentence for the burglary than the attack.
Several MPs, including Neil Kinnock, criticised the prison terms handed down - saying they were too lenient.
The then-Labour leader said during a Commons debate in 1987: "While it is necessary for judges to remain detached in the name of the law, sometimes they show an insensitivity to the suffering of victims which is difficult to comprehend."
And Margaret Thatcher, who was prime minister at the time, expressed her "deep concern" over the crime of rape following concerns about the case.
Ms Saward's case also sparked fierce criticisms about press coverage of rape cases after Ms Saward's ordeal became front page news.
While newspapers did not name Ms Saward as the victim, several of them published details which led her to be easily identifiable.
The Sun newspaper printed the location of the attack and a photograph of Ms Saward with her eyes blacked out in the days following the rape.
When investigated, the publication relied on the defence that media identification of a victim was only banned after a defendant was charged, which was the case at the time.
Speaking in 1987 Ms Saward, who was an identical twin, demanded a change in the law to prevent this from happening.
According to the Guardian, she said: "Unless this is done, others may find themselves identifiable by a process of deduction from third parties known to be involved as victims of a crime as I was.
"This was very distressing both to myself and my family, and the manner in which some newspapers conveyed this information was highly insensitive and offensive."
The law was changed a year later to allow for the right to appeal against lenient sentences and to close a loophole which allowed media identification of a rape victim before a defendant was charged.
The Press Council also published guidelines on how rape cases were reported to prevent victims' anonymity being breached through jigsaw identification.
The notorious case put the laws on rape under the spotlight and led to calls by women's groups and politicians to call for changes to the way the crimes were viewed.
These included making rape within marriage a criminal offence, making oral and anal intercourse classified as rape and tougher sentencing for rapists - all of which have been achieved.
In 1990, Ms Saward broke new ground when she became the first rape victim in the UK to waive her right to anonymity.
She co-wrote a book, Rape: My Story, which explored her ordeal and she went on to become a fierce campaigner for the rights of sexual assault victims.
Her decision to speak publicly was driven by a desire to change attitudes towards victims and strengthen the support they receive.
Ms Saward launched a help group for those who had experienced sex crimes and regularly appeared in the media to highlight issues faced by victims.
Her commitment to the cause also saw her become a sexual assault case worker and she subsequently provided training to police forces across the country.
Over the years, further changes have been made to the way sexual assault cases are handled - taking into account the way victims were treated.
These include a ban on allowing an alleged rapist to cross-examine victims while representing themselves in court and restrictions on what evidence can be heard about a victim's sexual behaviour.
New guidelines were published on the sentencing of sex offenders in England and Wales in 2013 which gave a greater emphasis on the impact on the victim - something Ms Saward had long campaigned for.
Speaking to the BBC, she said: "So long we've felt left out of the system or surplus to requirement, so to actually see victims' needs and what's happened to victims being put at the forefront of this is really, really good."
Ms Saward never gave up on her fight for victims' rights, and in 2015 she spoke out against calls to give those accused of sex crimes anonymity.
In 1998, she came face-to-face with a member of the gang who devastated her life, but did not rape her, and told him: "You don't need to say sorry."
But she also spoke about forgiveness and said in a BBC interview: "I believe forgiveness gives you freedom. Freedom to move on without being held back by the past." | In 1986 Jill Saward, who has died aged 51, was raped after a gang of burglars broke into the Ealing vicarage where she lived. |
Summarize the following excerpt. | The petition insists the public beach in Vallauris should be "available for the benefit of all".
Authorities sealed off the beach early on Saturday to prevent any protesters from occupying it as King Salman was due to arrive in the area.
The Saudi monarch is expected to stay at his villa for three weeks.
He and his entourage of about 1,000 people arrived at Nice airport on Saturday on board two Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 747s.
The king's inner circle is staying at the villa - between Antibes and Marseille - while about 700 others will stay at hotels in Cannes.
Michel Chevillon, president of an association of Cannes' hotel managers, said the visit was "clearly good news" for hotels and the local economy.
"These are people with great purchasing power," he said.
However, the closure of a section of La Mirandole beach beneath the king's villa has outraged many local residents.
"We recall that this natural zone, like all maritime public estates, is an intrinsic public property that should be available for the benefit of all, residents, tourists, French, foreigners or people passing through," the petition says.
"We ask the state to guarantee the fundamental principle of the equality of all citizens before the law."
The mayor of Vallauris has also written to President Francois Hollande in protest at unauthorised work carried out at the property.
A cement platform has been poured on to the beach to provide a lift up to the king's villa, although the Saudis have promised to remove it when they leave.
"We understand the security reasons and the nation's greater interest. But nobody can exonerate himself from the laws of the land," Mayor Michelle Salucki wrote.
There is also a ban on coming within 300m of the villa by sea.

Please summarize the given passage. | Mr Robinson said there was £1m difference on the impact of their planned spending for Northern Ireland.
He said the DUP had a good relationship working with both parties.
The DUP had eight Westminster seats in the previous parliament, making it the fourth largest party.
Mr Robinson told the Today programme that the DUP would "do is what is best first of all for the people of Northern Ireland" but also for the UK.
"Because we are a devolved region, we've worked with both of them during the last two periods of parliamentary terms," he said.
"So yes, we could work with either of those parties as we have in the past."
Mr Robinson said the DUP had costed the impact of the manifestos of both parties on Northern Ireland and concluded the difference in spending at the end of five years was £1m.
The Conservatives have outlined plans to save £12bn from the welfare budget.
Mr Robinson said he could not see his party supporting that proposal.
"I cannot see how £12bn could be saved on welfare in a way that would enjoy our support," he said.
"I do agree with Conservative and Liberal Democrats that the onus is to get people out and working and that has to be the priority in terms of any changes in welfare.
"But I cannot see how we can be supporting £12bn of cuts on welfare."
Mr Robinson also criticised the Conservatives' attacks on the SNP during the election campaign.
"I'm just hoping that it is more to do with the campaign team than it is with the policymakers in the party," he said.
"I know campaign teams look single-mindedly at how they get over the line in terms of maximising the vote they can receive.
"But I have to say some of the anti-Scottish rhetoric doesn't bode well for encouraging people to remain in the United Kingdom.
"So there has to be a balance. At the one side you have to make it clear that there are real dangers with the separatism agenda of the SNP.
"At the other hand, you've got to make sure you're not punishing the people of Scotland because some of them take that view."
Arfon Jones chose Plaid Cymru colleague Ann Griffith for the £42,000-a-year post without an advert, and the local advisory panel raised objections.
Some members were also concerned she would not promise to quit Anglesey council at the 2017 election.
Mr Jones said she had now given that commitment, and was the right choice.
Police and crime commissioners are entitled to appoint a deputy without the need to advertise the role, and the panel does not have the power to block the appointment.
The North Wales police and crime panel refused to back Ms Griffith's appointment at a meeting in July, with chair Julie Fallon saying there had been "concern about the lack of transparency we feel has occurred throughout this process".
Social worker Ms Griffith said despite the objections she had been "encouraged" by the "unwavering support" of the commissioner, the general public, and professionals in the field of criminal justice and social care.
"The panel was a disappointing experience but I have learnt lessons from it," she said.
"I have heeded the panel's advice and decided to stand down from my role as an Anglesey county councillor at the next election."
Ms Griffiths said she brings "over 30 years' of experience working at the sharp and strategic ends of social services, care for children and vulnerable adults".
"I believe I can make a positive and constructive contribution to the efforts of chief officers in making North Wales an even safer place for us all to live."
Mr Jones, a retired police inspector, has said he will stand down from his role as a Plaid Cymru councillor in Wrexham in 2017.
"I remain confident that Ann is more than qualified to fulfil this important role," he said.
"I am sure the panel will in time come to see the benefits of having her as my deputy and that she will serve with distinction and great commitment." | The DUP leader, Peter Robinson, has said again his party could work with the Conservatives or Labour in a hung parliament.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | The claim was made by a former Park View staff member who resigned from the Birmingham school in October 2013.
Teachers Inamulhaq Anwar and Akeel Ahmed deny unacceptable conduct.
Park View was investigated amid claims of a plot by Muslim hard-liners to take control of several city schools.
Susan Packer told a National College for Teaching and Leadership panel she had become upset at reading the worksheet, and had heard of boys telling girls they had to obey them when they got married.
She said she raised her concerns with then-head teacher Lindsey Clark, who was "very dismissive".
Mrs Packer, the school's former public relations and enterprise co-ordinator, told the panel she not seen the sex education lessons, where the work sheet was allegedly handed out.
She also said she had misplaced a copy of the worksheet she had taken home.
Mrs Packer also claimed:
Mr Anwar, 34, and Mr Ahmed, 41, are both former Park View teachers who taught sex education.
They are said to have agreed with others, on or before 31 March 2014, to the inclusion of an undue amount of religious influence in pupils' education.
Mr Anwar is also accused of breaching recruiting policy.
Mrs Packer said they were amongst a group of men close to Moz Hussain who seemed to discuss things and follow each others' views.
She also listed several incidences she said reflected the changing ethos of Islam at the school, including:
Mrs Packer said she had resigned from the school after an Islamaphobia complaint was made against her.

Summarize the following piece. | Islwyn MP Chris Evans claimed 34 different schemes since the 1970s have failed to tackle long-term and youth unemployment.
Jobcentre Plus was established in 2002 to provide support for jobseekers.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said it has helped 10,000 people into work in Wales over the past year.
But Mr Evans told BBC Wales' Sunday Politics Wales programme that successive Conservative and Labour governments have not been radical enough in their approach to welfare reform.
He claimed previous work programmes such as the former Youth Training Programme (YTS) in the 1980s and Labour's New Deal in the 1990s have not been effective.
"We're trying the same old tired solutions over and over again and getting the same results and I think it needs to change," he said.
Claiming that Jobcentre Plus is "not fit for purpose", he will argue in a Parliamentary debate on Tuesday that it should be abolished.
Instead, he will suggest the budget is used to contract services from charities and recruitment agencies with a proven record.
"Jobcentre Plus at the moment represents for a number of people somewhere they go to be sanctioned - it is not somewhere to go to find work," Mr Evans added.
But a statement from the DWP said it provides "an internationally respected service" which is "tailored to personal and local labour market needs".
"Every single day, Jobcentre Plus is helping thousands of people change their lives for the better, and over the past year there are 10,000 more people in work in Wales," a spokesman said.
"Of those who leave Jobseeker's Allowance to take up a job, three quarters are in work after eight months - that is a record of success."
Mr Evans urged the Labour party to take a radical approach and said: "For too long we opposed welfare reform rather than suggesting different solutions."
He added: "I think we lost the election because we went into the comfort zone. We have now got to talk about things we're uncomfortable about otherwise we're not going to look like a credible alternative government."

What is the summary of the document provided? | The protest was organised by a group called the People's Assembly Against Austerity.
Demonstrators met outside BBC Broadcasting House in Portland Place, before marching past Downing Street and on to Parliament Square.
The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was among the speakers who addressed crowds at The Not One Day More protest.
Speaking in Parliament Square, Mr Corbyn said: "The Tories are in retreat, austerity is in retreat, the economic arguments of austerity are in retreat.
"It's those of social justice, of unity, of people coming together to oppose racism and all those that would divide us, that are the ones that are moving forward."
The crowd chanted "oh Jeremy Corbyn" and "Tories out" during the rally, while many carried banners saying Justice For Grenfell.
One protester told BBC News that "anger" had motivated her to join the protest, saying: "What's going on isn't good enough under the Tory government.
"There have been cuts to every single service you can think of. It's just the pure negligence. How can you be cutting vital services?"
The organisers said on Facebook that they "invite everyone - from campaigns and community groups across the country, from the trade unions, from political parties and any individual - to come together in one massive show of strength and solidarity".
The statement added: "We're marching against a government committed to austerity, cuts and privatisation.
"We're marching for a decent health service, education system, housing, jobs and living standards for all."
Downing Street did not want to comment on the protest.

Ashley Yates, 45, of Filton, used the device to record images in the toilets of The Tynings Primary School in Staple Hill, South Gloucestershire.
He admitted six counts of voyeurism and three of making indecent images of children at Bristol Crown Court.
The offences relate to seven girls, two boys and six adults.
They came to light after a child found a pen inside a disabled toilet at the school and handed it in to a caretaker.
The court heard that in total the married father filmed 22 adults and nine children and had confessed to his wife that he was a "sexual monster".
The judge accepted that Yates' main sexual interest was in adults urinating, but said he must have realised that children were also going to be caught on his camera.
Judge Michael Longman described Yates' behaviour as "devious" and as a "significant" breach of trust.
During the investigation, additional adult victims were identified by police.
Det Insp Louise Boyce, of Avon and Somerset Police, said: "Yates totally abused his position of trust to feed his own personal desires.
"He set up the recording device in a toilet knowing that both children and adults would be using the facilities."
She added she had "no doubt" that Yates' crimes will have "a lasting impact on his victims and their parents".
A letter to parents on the school's website said: "These victims came to light after items were seized by police during the course of the investigation.

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Health watchdog Monitor has appointed an "improvement director" to work with Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust.
It comes after an inquiry was ordered in the wake of Connor Sparrowhawk's death while in Southern Health's care.
An emergency board meeting was held on Monday after the inquiry showed the trust failed to investigate his and other deaths.
The trust has apologised for failings and said systems have improved.
Monitor said the trust would now receive "expert support to improve the way it investigates and reports deaths" of people with learning disabilities.
Mazars, an audit firm, published a report on Southern Health in December which said the deaths of mental health and learning-disability patients were not properly examined between April 2011 and March 2015.
It blamed a "failure of leadership" at the foundation trust.
The report was ordered in 2013 after Connor, 18, drowned in a bath following an epileptic seizure while a patient in a Southern Health hospital in Oxford.
An independent inquiry said his death had been preventable, and an inquest jury found neglect by the trust had contributed to his death.
Monitor said when investigating, the trust also failed to engage properly with families.
The foundation trust covers Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire and provides mental health services to about 45,000 people.
Monitor has taken regulatory action and the trust has agreed to implement changes.
Katrina Percy, chief executive of Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, said: "We have agreed with Monitor that we will take a number of steps to show how we are improving.
"These are implement the recommendations of the Mazars report through a comprehensive action plan, get assurance from independent experts on this action plan and work with an improvement director appointed by Monitor." | A health trust that failed to properly investigate hundreds of deaths is to be monitored by an external expert. |
Can you summarize this content? | The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said it ordered the immediate closure of Merok Park Nursing Home after an inspection found it was dirty and unsafe, with an "overpowering" smell of urine.
The home's 26 residents were moved following the closure on Tuesday.
No-one at the home, in Banstead, was available for comment.
Adrian Hughes, chief inspector of adult social care in the south, said enforcement action was not taken lightly because of the impact on residents.
He said: "We made the providers... aware of our concerns some time ago, but action has not been taken to maintain the safety and welfare of people."
Inspections on 28 November and 1 December found residents not receiving help to eat and being placed in inappropriate beds, putting them at a high risk of pressure sores, he said.
Mr Hughes told BBC Surrey: "Things weren't getting better. Between those inspections, we were expecting the provider to address the concerns that we had raised, but that wasn't happening.
"That was the reason... we had to take action to make sure people are not exposed to further risk.
"The stench of urine was so strong it made the eyes of our staff water."
Staff were working up to 60 hours a week and some had not had criminal record checks, the CQC said.
It said inspectors also found a broken lift had left some residents unable to get downstairs for weeks.
Mr Hughes said there were issues with staffing levels which had an impact on residents' nutrition and hydration.
"There were problems with the hot water system, and so people were being bathed in cold water. That exposes people to risk because it it not hygienic," he said.
"We will be working with Surrey County Council and with police. The police will be looking to see if there is any criminality in terms of neglect."
A Surrey Police spokeswoman said: "There is currently no police investigation into the care home."
According to the CQC website, Soondressen Cooppen and his wife Maleenee run Merok Park and Faygate House care home in Sutton, south London.
Mr Hughes said inspectors had also visited the Sutton care home.
He said: "That is a service which we are looking at to see what action we should be taking.
"If a provider is not providing a good quality service at one of his or her services, we've got to ask the question 'are they doing the same at their other services?' It's very much on our radar."
According to the CQC, Merok Park can accommodate up to 29 people and most of its residents, some of whom have dementia, are elderly.
The home passed an inspection in January carried out after the regulator raised "concerns" during a visit in September last year.
That inspection found residents were "generally satisfied" and praised staff.
But it said the home "did not have suitable arrangements in place for obtaining consent for people who lacked capacity" and "had not always taken steps to provide care in a home that was adequately maintained in all areas".
Inspectors have removed Merok Park's registration, which means it can no longer legally operate.
"Taking any decision which causes people to leave their homes is always difficult at any time of year - but it is our view, shared by other agencies, that it was no longer safe for people to remain in Merok Park," Mr Hughes said.
"We wanted to make sure people were not exposed to any further risk, hence the action which we took."

Summarize the information in the following document. | Speaking to the BBC, five school principals from Cheshire also warned some subjects could be scrapped, while teaching assistants and mental health support workers could face redundancy.
In December, the government announced the biggest shake-up of the school funding formula for decades.
Ministers said it would resolve "unfair" and "inconsistent" funding.
The new formula would mean less money for schools in big cities, which have traditionally received higher levels of funding.
Head teachers in West Sussex have made a similar threat to cut school hours because of "dire finances".
Schools in some of the worst-funded areas, including Cheshire East and Trafford, could also lose out.
According to analysis carried out by Cheshire East Council and head teachers in the borough, overall school spending would be cut by 2.1%, taking the basic level of funding per pupil to the lowest in England.
Expanding upon the four-day week idea, Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School head teacher Denis Oliver said he was investigating the possibility of "having children working at home with their teachers online as virtual support, [thereby] saving on heating, lighting, cleaning and transport costs."
"We are looking at everything," he told the BBC.
"Class sizes will rise, services for children with high needs will drastically reduce, school libraries may have to close.
"It's draconian. It will destroy some schools."
Nearby Alsager School is set to lose about £150,000 - 2.9% of its budget - and is looking at cutting some subjects.
In a recent letter to parents, head teacher Richard Middlebrook warned the new formula could mean "the removal of all non-English Baccalaureate subjects from the curriculum".
This would mean subjects including art, music, drama and design and technology being axed.
"The very future of our school and the quality of education your son or daughter will receive at Alsager is at stake", he warned.
A Department for Education spokesman said the current system for distributing school funding was "unfair, opaque and outdated and the proposals we are currently consulting on will mean an end to this postcode lottery".
The spokesman said the plan would mean a cash boost for more than half of England's schools by 2018-19.
"We recognise that schools are facing cost pressures, which is why we will continue to provide advice and support to help them use their funding in cost-effective ways," he added. | Schoolchildren face the prospect of a four-day week because of a shortage in funding, a group of head teachers said. |

They were watched by a capacity crowd of about 35,000, as well as new manager Slaven Bilic, who was in the stands but not in charge.
The second leg takes place on 9 July.
The Hammers qualified for the Europa League via the Fair Play League and their reward was a first match of the 2015-16 season 40 days after the final Premier League match of the 2014-15 campaign.
But despite the lack of a significant summer break, there was an upbeat atmosphere at Upton Park, with Bilic receiving a rousing reception when he was presented to the crowd before kick-off.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | The prime minister will say her commitment to changing the country is "undimmed" a year after taking office.
But she will acknowledge her reduced voting power in the Commons after her election gamble backfired.
And in the speech, on Tuesday, she will urge other parties to work with her on ideas to tackle "unfairness".
Ministers loyal to Mrs May have dismissed reports of plots to remove her as drink-fuelled "gossip", but Labour remains on an election footing, with leader Jeremy Corbyn saying he hopes for a fresh poll in September.
Mrs May will return to the message from her first day in Downing Street last July, when she succeeded David Cameron, and vow to lead what she called a "one nation" government that works for all and not just the "privileged few".
BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said: "You won't hear anyone in Downing Street call it a re-launch or a fightback, but after the tumult, the commotion of the last few months - voluntarily calling an election in which she went backwards - Theresa May will this week attempt to regain the political initiative".
In her speech, the PM will say that though the result of June's election was not what she wanted, "those defining beliefs remain, my commitment to change in Britain is undimmed".
Her "belief in the potential of the British people and what we can achieve together as a nation remains steadfast, and the determination I have to get to grips with the challenges posed by a changing world never more sure", she will say.
She will say she is convinced that the path she set out in her first speech outside Number 10 remains the right one.
"It will lead to the stronger, fairer Britain that we need."
She will launch a review - of casual and low-paid work - by Matthew Taylor, a former top adviser to Tony Blair, which she commissioned when she became prime minister.
It is thought Mr Taylor, who has been examining the use of zero-hours contracts and the rise in app-based firms such as Uber and Deliveroo, will stop short of calling for a compulsory minimum wage for those employed in the so-called gig economy, who do not have guaranteed hours or pay rates.
But he is expected to propose a series of extra rights for those in insecure jobs and could also recommend shaking up the tax system to reduce the gap between employees and the self-employed.
He is also likely to call for measures to improve job satisfaction for people working in minimum wage jobs, according to The Guardian.
In her speech, Mrs May will say: "When I commissioned this report I led a majority government in the House of Commons. The reality I now face as prime minister is rather different.
"In this new context, it will be even more important to make the case for our policies and our values, and to win the battle of ideas both in Parliament as well as in the country.
"So I say to the other parties in the House of Commons... come forward with your own views and ideas about how we can tackle these challenges as a country.
"We may not agree on everything, but through debate and discussion - the hallmarks of our parliamentary democracy - ideas can be clarified and improved and a better way forward found."
She will acknowledge the fragile nature of her position in the Commons but insist it will not stop her taking "the bold action necessary to secure a better future".

Please give a summary of the document below. | Four people in the Mexican Society for Responsible and Tolerant Personal Use will now be permitted to grow and smoke their own marijuana.
Marijuana still cannot be sold in Mexico but some say the court's ruling could lead to full legalisation.
Mexico has long struggled with violent conflict from drug cartels.
The advocacy group first brought the case forward in 2013, seeking permission to grow plants for recreational use.
The court voted 4-1 that prohibiting people from growing the drug for consumption was unconstitutional.
In a country that faces drug violence on a massive scale, this is a significant ruling. Although the ruling only applies to the individuals who brought the case to the Supreme Court, activists see this as a huge first step.
Armando Santacruz was one of the plaintiffs. A prominent businessman here in Mexico, he has spearheaded the campaign and told me he sees this as opening the door to many more cases.
But Mexicans are divided when it comes to the legalization of drugs. Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto has been firmly against any change to drug policy so the battle to legalise marijuana here has only just begun.
It could set a legal precedent for future rulings concerning the use and sales of marijuana.
People celebrated the ruling by smoking joints outside of the Supreme Court building.
"If ... this supreme court is taking such an important step toward legalization of drugs, or at least some of them, I suggest that we are equally careful and responsible in crafting a ruling of the same magnitude," said Judge Jose Ramon Cossio, who voted in favour of the measure.
There are tens of thousands of drug-related killings in the country every year.
The country has been pressured to loosen its drug laws after the US made the drug legal in certain states.
In 2009, Mexico made it legal to carry up to 5 grams (.18oz) of marijuana. | A narrow ruling by Mexico's Supreme Court could eventually clear a path to make recreational use of marijuana legal. |

They looked at 150 variables, from film genre to box office takings, from review ratings to the percentage of female viewers under 18. And they applied their algorithm to data going back 15 years to work out which of these variables were the most important.
Interestingly, they also measured sentiment - the emotional reactions each film elicited - on popular movie review sites such as IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes.
Just to give some sense of the amount of data, the tech firms looked at 150,000 text reviews and more than 38 million star ratings from IMDB alone.
And this threw up something surprising.
Nirav Patel, head of global markets, media and entertainment at Cognizant, an IT consultancy that counts four of the largest film studios as its clients, explains.
"We found that an intense negative sentiment, such as anger, plays a big part in whether a film wins the Oscar," he tells the BBC.
"If people feel a particularly strong emotion associated with a character's struggle within the story, they feel like they were there."
This is surprising because "it's completely the opposite of how brands usually treat sentiment", says Mr Patel.
In other words, you don't usually buy a perfume if the fragrance makes you feel sick, and luxury brands would have kittens if this was the customer reaction picked up on social media.
But Mr DiCaprio's trials and tribulations in The Revenant certainly turned the stomach and were hard to watch at times, for many viewers at least. Yet this makes it more likely that the film will win the Best Picture Oscar, according to the data analysis.
Data crunchers are able to measure sentiment more precisely these days thanks to big data analytics and pattern spotting algorithms that can interrogate constantly expanding libraries of natural speech patterns.
"It used to be about positive words versus negative words," says Mr Patel, "but now artificial intelligence can understand the nuances and connotations of phrases."
The tech firms say they're 64% confident that The Revenant will win.
Again, this may not seem that high a score given how confident the bookies seem to be, but their next highest confidence score is 19.2% for Mad Max: Fury Road, so the scores are relative.

It's worth noting that at the time of writing, bookies William Hill and Paddy Power both thought Spotlight had the next best chance of winning behind The Revenant.
Cognizant and Clarabridge, on the other hand, gave Spotlight a lower confidence figure than Mad Max, Brooklyn, and Bridge of Spies.
So the data analytics was showing some divergence from the bookies' predictions. Why so?
"We take the human element out and just look at the data - the algorithm doesn't watch the films," says Mr Patel.
William Hill's approach is much more human-centred, says spokesman Joe Crilly.
"We have just three people watching the films, following reviews and press reports. If you look through the Oscar-winning films of the last 10 to 15 years, you start to see trends emerging - they tend to have the same types of stories running through them.
"Biopics and true stories are always going to feature heavily. And we would certainly look at strong emotion, whether it's positive or negative."
So why does any of this matter?
Film studios spend a fortune on promotional campaigns in the run-up to the Oscars in an attempt to influence the 6,000 or so judges who are members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Exact figures are hard to come by, but some studies estimate studios spend an average of $10m per film, and from $100m to $500m in total in any one year.
Now if a studio has two films it thinks have a chance of winning the Oscar for Best Picture, but data analytics clearly tells it that one has more of a chance than the other, it could save millions of campaign dollars if it just backs the favourite rather than hedging its bets.
Cognizant estimates that a typical Oscar-winning campaign spend of $10m will earn a studio an extra $16m, and also rake in an extra $7m of non-financial benefits, such as raised brand profile and greater interest from leading actors and producers.
Which all sounds like good sense, providing that this type of analysis is accurate.
Cognizant's Mr Patel, who admits he hasn't seen The Revenant yet, says: "Our model did correctly predict all the Oscar nominees, and would've correctly predicted last year's Best Picture winner, Birdman.
"But there will always be some uncertainty."
Is there a danger data will start calling the shots, leading to even more formulaic films?
"Data is increasingly being used by media to draw down consumer insights," says Douglas McCabe, chief executive of research firm Enders Analysis.
"This chiefly started in positioning and marketing content, but is inevitably drifting into commissioning decisions, too. The challenge is using data to create something new - which is difficult - rather than replicating previous successes - which is easy."
The fly in the ointment for The Revenant is that Mr Inarritu also directed Birdman, so some judges may feel it fairer to give the prize to another director's film this year.
When it comes to the Oscars, it seems data analytics - however clever - can't remove human unpredictability completely.

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | I doubt, for example, that any of Scotland's fine panto producers are this very moment picking up the phone to Phillip Hammond to offer him a comic role.
Perhaps it was Mr Hammond's pre-existing reputation for dry delivery - but he appeared to feel the need to deploy a few gags. Some, including the one satirising Boris Johnson, were not at all bad.
But, more generally, the presentation was relatively straitlaced. So much so, indeed, that the Chancellor was obliged to ad lib to tell Tory backbenchers that he had just announced good, if complex, news. It was time, he plainly felt, for them to cheer.
So the tone was relatively straightforward, even sombre - despite the gags. And understandably so.
For if Mr Hammond isn't Abanazar - hiss, boo - he isn't Wishee Washee either. He told it as it is. Or, more precisely, he told it as the OBR forecasts suggest, independently, that it will be.
Higher borrowing, lower tax revenues. And above all a growth potential that is some 2.4% lower than it might have been, according to the selfsame OBR, without the Brexit vote.
A referendum outcome which means that the forecasts are described as uncertain - that is, compared to the shot in the dark to which we have become accustomed of late.
In summary, the outlook is for an economy which will be some £122bn worse off by 2020 than previously forecast.
In the face of that, the Chancellor talked of "resilience". A capacity to cope. An ability to rise to the challenge. He was keen to stress the underlying strength of the UK economy. But he did not duck those challenges lying ahead.
In essence, he was trying to pre-empt the prospect of any further weakening in the economic outlook by adding a degree of stimulus while trying, he said, to address a longer-term problem.
The stimulus will come from capital investment, funded by borrowing and by tax changes. That longer-term question is the issue of relatively low UK productivity.
An innovation fund will be deployed in an effort to find solutions to what Mr Hammond depicted as a systemic problem in the UK.
Capital investment and, even more so, any attempt to transform the integral nature of the UK economic structure will take time to produce results in terms of growth and jobs. Perhaps, perhaps, handily coinciding with the forward uncertainty forecast by the OBR.
For Scotland, ministers had been privately anxious that the entire revenue settlement for the year ahead, 2017/18, might be unpicked, with adverse consequences.
That has not happened - and there will be a degree of relief at Holyrood, albeit the spending constraints remain in place.
Then there is the extra money for capital investment as a Barnett consequential of the spending south of the border. It adds up to £800m - and, when announced, Tory backbenchers joined in a panto-style vocal challenge to the SNP benches.
Rejoice, they appeared to be shouting, rejoice.
To be clear, the capital spending allocated to the Scottish government will be welcomed by ministers. However, they note that it is spread over four years, from the current 2016/17.
They argue further that, taking all the figures into account, there remains a cut of about 8% in capital spending in real terms over the extended period from the Conservatives first entering Downing Street in 2010.
According to Mr Hammond, the UK has embarked upon a new chapter. But will it have a happy ending - or turn out a horror story? | Michael McIntyre, I feel certain, can rest easy - content that his droll role remains unchallenged by the chancellor. |

Cardoso - better known as 'Beto' - had been named acting coach in January after the departure of the Portuguese Rui Aguas in a spat over unpaid wages.
Beto's permanent appointment was confirmed at a news conference in Praia, where Jimmy Barros and Bassano were named the team's new assistants.
Beto had been assistant to former Portugal international Rui Aguas, who took Cape Verde to the last Nations Cup finals in Equatorial Guinea where they were eliminated after the opening group phase despite not losing a match.
The island archipelago, one of the smallest countries on the continent, took over as the top ranked African team in the latest FIFA rankings with Beto telling reporters he understood the "increased responsibility" on the team.
He named a pre-selection of 33 players for the two matches against Morocco, who will also have a new coach in Herve Renard.
The Tubaroes Azul (Blue Sharks) have called up Dutch-born attacker Jerson Cabral from Twente Enschede for the first time. The 25-year-old comes from the large Cape Verdian community in Rotterdam and previously played at Feyenoord. He won caps for the Netherlands at under-17, U-19 and U-21 level.
Cape Verde's squad will be cut to 22 before the match in Praia on 26 March. The two teams face each other again three days later in Agadir.
Cape Verde lead Morocco on goal difference only at the top of Group G with the pair both winning their opening two qualifiers against Libya and Sao Tome e Principe.
Cape Verde provisional squad:
Goalkeepers: Nilson (GD Bairro), Ivan Somada (Gil Vicente, Portugal), Vozinha (FC Zimbru, Moldovia)
Defenders: Carlitos (Omonia Nicosia, Cyprus), Fernando Varela (Steaua Bucharest, Romania), Gege (Arouca, Portugal), Jeffry Fortes (Dordrecht, Netherlands), Kay (Universitat Craiova, Romania), Kiki Balack (Mafra, Portugal), Nivaldo (FK Teplice, Czech Republic), Steven Fortes (Le Havre, France), Stopira (Videoton, Hungary), Tiago (Belenenses, Portugal)

The driver was taken to hospital but no players were injured in the attack, which happened while they were travelling to Trabzon airport.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said an investigation was under way.
The Turkish Football Federation condemned the attack and Fenerbahce general secretary Mahmut Uslu said the incident was "very wrong".
"We come here to do sport; we come to play football," said Uslu, who was on the bus at the time of the attack.
Abdulcelil Oz, the governor of Trabzon in the north-east of Turkey, initially said the bus appeared to have been hit by a stone but later released a second statement, saying it seemed to have been a bullet.
"The latest situation is that it appears to be a gun," Oz said. "It is too soon to say anything definite, but it appears to be a type of bullet fired by a rifle."
Large crowds of Fenerbahce fans waited at Istanbul Airport to welcome the players back.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a Fenerbahce supporter, reportedly called the local governor to inquire about the investigation into the incident.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | She insisted that deterring other countries from leaving the EU should not be a priority in the talks.
And she added she was not in favour of pushing for a speedy withdrawal.
Britain narrowly voted to end its membership in a historic referendum last Thursday.
Mrs Merkel was speaking after several EU foreign ministers - including Germany's - had urged Britain to quickly implement its exit.
"It shouldn't take forever, that's right, but I would not fight for a short timeframe," she said.
She added that she was seeking an "objective, good" climate in the talks with Britain, which "must be conducted properly".
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier had earlier said negotiations should begin as "soon as possible".
He made the comments after an urgent meeting of the six EU founder members to discuss the decision.
British Prime Minister David Cameron has said he will step down by October to allow his successor to conduct talks.
The six countries attending the summit in Berlin - Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands - first joined forces in the 1950s and still form the core of the EU.
"We say here together, this process should get under way as soon as possible so that we are not left in limbo but rather can concentrate on the future of Europe," Mr Steinmeier said.
His Dutch counterpart Bert Koenders said the continent could not accept a political vacuum, saying "this will not be business as usual".
In other developments:
The first summit of EU leaders with no British representation will be held on Wednesday, a day after Mr Cameron holds talks with members.
Global stock markets and the pound fell heavily on the news of the so-called "Brexit", while credit rating agency Moody's cut the UK's outlook to "negative".
The UK must now invoke Article 50 of the EU Lisbon Treaty, which sets out a two-year timetable for negotiations on withdrawal.
European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker said the EU-UK split was "not an amicable divorce", but nor had they had a "deep love affair". He has also said exit negotiations should begin immediately.
"Britons decided yesterday [Thursday] that they want to leave the European Union, so it doesn't make any sense to wait until October to try to negotiate the terms of their departure," Mr Juncker said in an interview with Germany's ARD television network.
Leaders of Eurosceptic parties in France, the Netherlands and Italy quickly demanded referendums in their own countries.
"OUTsch!"; "Well done little Britain"; "Completely detached".
Germany's press reflects the widespread shock at the British decision to leave the EU. At the highest level of government, no-one really expected this. And they are scrambling to defend German and European interests.
The German position is focused on two major, and delicate, decisions.
Firstly, whether to use Brexit as an opportunity to deepen European integration, or to view it as a "wake-up call" and create more flexibility within the union.
And, secondly, how to deal with Britain - an important trading partner - as a "third country".
Senior economists and business leaders warn against barriers to free trade.
But politicians are talking tough. Concessions, they say, might encourage other member states to leave. For this reason one senior MP told me: "There must be consequences for Britain".

Summarize the information given below. | Morata, 24, will discuss personal terms and have a medical after Real accepted an offer of about £60m for him.
Chelsea had previously tried to re-sign Romelu Lukaku, but the Belgium striker instead joined Manchester United.
"It's not the one they were left with, it's the one they wanted, absolutely," Nevin told BBC Radio 5 live.
The deal was announced a day after manager Antonio Conte signed an improved contract with the Premier League champions.
"I'm going to the team managed by the coach who has placed the most faith in me, and that's great for me," Morata told AS on Wednesday.
"It's beginning to look like Antonio Conte's Chelsea side," said Nevin.
"And because he signed this new contract, it's saying: 'I believe in this, I want to be part of this.' It didn't seem like the case a couple of months ago.
"Now, most Chelsea fans will be smiling and punching the air, much the same way that I was."
Morata would be Chelsea's fourth signing of the summer, after goalkeeper Willy Caballero, defender Antonio Rudiger and midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.
Nevin said: "I wrote a piece on the Chelsea website about three months ago. I asked the fans: 'Who would you like most as a centre-forward?'
"There were three names that came up. Number three was Lukaku, number two was [Alexis] Sanchez, and number one? Morata."
Morata could replace Spain team-mate Diego Costa, who says he has been told by manager Antonio Conte that he is no longer in Chelsea's plans.
Morata scored 20 goals last season after rejoining Real from Juventus.
"I think he was the number one choice that Antonio Conte wanted," said Nevin.
"I am not sure what's going to be happening with Diego Costa. I think it's quite unlikely he will stay with all the noises we've been hearing.
"Chelsea need a striker who can give you 15-20 goals a season.
"Put him in a team where you've got the likes of Cesc Fabregas, the likes of Eden Hazard giving you plenty of opportunities... Morata can do that."
European football journalist Mina Rzouki on BBC Radio 5 live
If you offered me the choice between Morata and Lukaku, I wouldn't even think about it.
I would pay £20m or £30m more if I had to and I would bring in Morata.
That is because I would always prefer an intelligent player in my team. Even if he doesn't score as many goals, even if he doesn't do whatever he needs to.
If he is more intelligent then he can be moulded quicker, he can do what he needs to do. And Morata has Champions League experience. He was second top scorer for Real Madrid despite not starting.
He has done it at Juventus and he has done it at Real Madrid.
He understands, he has the pace, he is intelligent, he links up play, he can be a counter-attacking threat.

The Labour leader said his party was not wedded to the idea of freedom of movement as he gave a speech in Peterborough on Tuesday.
Ms Wood said she feared he could be helping "make a case for leaving the single market".
However, Mr Corbyn told BBC News he did not think immigration was too high.
Ms Wood said: "The most important outcome for Wales from any negotiations is to be in the single market.
"By upping the ante on migration, Mr Corbyn and the Labour party risk giving Theresa May the political cover needed for a hard Brexit.
"If the speech makes rejecting the principle of freedom of movement a priority, then it will help the Tories make a case for leaving the single market, which would be disastrous for the Welsh economy.

Can you summarize this passage? | America's highest court also granted a White House request allowing part of its refugee ban to go into effect.
The justices said they would consider in October whether the president's policy should be upheld or struck down.
Mr Trump seeks to place a 90-day ban on people from six mainly Muslim nations and a 120-day ban on refugees.
The president welcomed the ruling's qualified authorisation to bar visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, which he described as "terror-prone countries".
"As president, I cannot allow people into our country who want to do us harm," he added.
Mr Trump has already said the ban would take effect within 72 hours of court approval.
The Supreme Court said in Monday's decision: "In practical terms, this means that [the executive order] may not be enforced against foreign nationals who have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.
"All other foreign nationals are subject to the provisions of [the executive order]."
The ruling also said it would permit a 120-day ban on all refugees entering the US to go into effect, allowing the government to bar entry to refugee claimants who do not have any "bona fide relationship" with an American individual or entity.
Mark this down as a win for Donald Trump. The path to entry into the US for immigrants and refugees from the affected nations, if they don't have existing ties to the US - either through family, schools or employment - just became considerably harder.
The decision marks a reaffirmation of the sweeping powers the president has traditionally been granted by the courts in areas of national security. There was fear in some quarters that the administration's ham-fisted implementation of its immigration policy could do lasting damage to the president's prerogatives. That appears not to be the case.
The government, the justices write, has a "compelling need to provide for the nation's security". That includes being able to close the borders based on an evaluation of the potential of foreign threats - at least for now.
The Supreme Court justices will fully consider the arguments on both sides next autumn. Of course, by that time it may not matter. The administration has three months to conduct its "executive review" of immigration policy and devise new guidelines.
In the meantime, the gates to America just got a bit smaller.
Big win for Trump and his travel ban
The ruling clarifies that those who would be deemed to have such a relationship would include a foreign national who wishes to enter the US to live with or visit a family member, a student at an American university, an employee of a US company, or a lecturer invited to address an American audience.
This would not apply, it said, to "someone who enters into a relationship simply to avoid [the executive order].
"For example, a non-profit group devoted to immigration issues may not contact foreign nationals from the designated countries, add them to client lists, and then secure their entry by claiming injury from their exclusion."
Yes. Three of the court's conservative justices - Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch - wrote that they would have allowed the travel ban to go into full effect.
Justice Thomas said the government's interest in preserving national security outweighs any hardship to people denied entry into the country.
Mr Trump restored a 5-4 conservative majority to the Supreme Court when his nominee, Justice Gorsuch, joined its bench in April.
There are five Republican appointees on the court and four Democratic appointees.
The US president insisted his ban was necessary for national security amid a slew of terrorist attacks in Paris, London, Brussels, Berlin and other cities. However, critics called the policy un-American and Islamophobic, and the lower courts broadly seemed to agree.
The president's policy was left in limbo after it was struck down by federal judges in Hawaii and Maryland days following its issuance on 6 March.
The 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, said in May the ban was "rooted in religious animus" toward Muslims.
The San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals said in June: "National security is not a 'talismanic incantation' that, once invoked, can support any and all exercise of executive power."
The original ban, released on 27 January, provoked mass protests at American airports.
It included Iraq among nations whose travellers would be barred from the US, and imposed a full ban on refugees from Syria.
The president issued a revised version with a narrower scope on 6 March to overcome some of the legal problems.
But Mr Trump was unhappy about having to do so, calling it a "watered down, politically correct" version of the first one. | US President Donald Trump has welcomed a Supreme Court ruling allowing his travel ban to be partly reinstated as a "victory for our national security". |

The Halifax said that UK property prices rose by 5.8% in September compared with a year ago.
This offers some cheer to first-timers who faced annual rises in house prices of 10% six months ago.
Yet those buying in the priciest parts of the UK were typically seven years older than those in cheaper areas.
The Halifax said that the youngest first-time buyers were in Carlisle in Cumbria and Torfaen in south Wales where they bought at an average age of 27. The oldest were in Slough in Berkshire as well as Barnet and Ealing in London where the average age was 34.
Overall in the UK, the lender said the average first-time buyer was aged 30.
Most are likely to be looking for properties a lot cheaper than a £14m mansion that has just been sold in south London or a typically priced home in the UK which, according to the Halifax, now costs £214,024.
Where can I afford to live?
Property values rose by 0.1% in September compared with August, according to the Halifax figures which are based on its own lending figures.
However, they fell by 0.1% in the three months to the end of September compared with the previous quarter.
Year-on-year, house prices were still rising but at a slower pace, said Martin Ellis, housing economist at the Halifax.
"The housing market has followed a steady downward trend over the past six months with clear evidence of both a softening in activity levels and an easing in house price inflation," he said.
He added that house prices had risen faster than earnings for some time, which had reduced demand among buyers.
However, a shortage of properties in the market meant that prices were still going up.
Ben Madden, managing director of the estate agents Thorgills, said: "The collapse in the market many predicted simply has not materialised and the reason for this is the acute lack of supply, exceptionally low mortgage rates and an economy and consumer that, as yet, appear to be holding up despite the political uncertainty.
"It is nevertheless a peculiar and uncertain market. Generally speaking, buyers feel it is their market, but the longer the economy holds up in the aftermath of Brexit the more the market may begin to favour sellers."
Martin Tett, housing spokesman for the Local Government Association, said: "The shortage of houses in this country is a top concern for people who are finding that buying their first house is increasingly out of reach.
"Councils support measures to boost home ownership. But not everybody is ready to buy, and a renaissance in council housebuilding is needed to ensure there is a mix of homes - to rent and buy - that are affordable for those people that need them and that are crucial for enabling people to save money towards a deposit."
A week ago, the Nationwide Building Society said annual house price inflation has fallen, from 5.6% in August to 5.3% in September.
It said housebuilders should get on and build more houses with the number of homes on the market close to record lows.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | Stafford Hospital, which was renamed County Hospital, was at the centre of a £6m public inquiry into care failings.
Overnight closures at the hospital began in 2011.
The Liberal Democrats said Westminster should not tell local areas how to run hospitals. UKIP said the timing of the pledge would leave a "bad taste".
Labour said the Conservatives were attempting to "pre-empt" their plans for the A&E at the hospital.
The Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust, which ran the hospital, went into administration in April 2013. The hospital is now run by a new trust.
Campaigners from Support Stafford Hospital Group camped on fields opposite the hospital from July until January as a protest over the removal of services.
Secretary of State for Health Jeremy Hunt made a "commitment to the people of Stafford" on a visit to the town.
"I would only ever agree to something that is clinically safe - however, it is the ambition of a future Conservative government to bring back 24 hour A&E," he said.
Responding to Mr Hunt's comments, Phil Bennion, former Liberal Democrat MEP in Staffordshire, said: "We want healthcare that's high quality, local, and available to everyone who needs it.
"But we also don't believe that Westminster should tell local areas how to run their hospitals and wider healthcare provision - especially if the resources needed aren't made available."
A UKIP spokesman said: "The Tories have had years to sort this out, and then to make a promise not two weeks from election will taste very bad for the people of Staffordshire."
The Labour party accused Mr Hunt of making a "desperate dash to Stafford to pre-empt [the] release of Labour's fully costed, timetabled plan for restoration of services at Stafford Hospital". | A&E services will be restored through the night in Stafford as soon as it is "clinically safe" if the Conservatives are elected, the party has promised. |

The judge will decide whether to name any culprits and whether any elements in the Russian state were responsible.
BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera says the real issue for the report is whether the trail leads to the heart of the Russian state and even to President Vladimir Putin himself.

Who was Alexander Litvinenko?
A deadly trail of polonium
The report may also focus on whether it was specific investigations into links between organised crime and the Kremlin which led to Mr Litvinenko's killing.
Our correspondent says that if it does point to state responsibility, pressure is likely to grow for the British government to take action against Moscow.
Speaking ahead of the inquiry's findings, Mr Litvinenko's son, Anatoly, told the BBC: "You want to find out who was behind the murder, who planned it, who commissioned it.
"That is why state responsibility is important to us."
The judge, Sir Robert Owen, heard from 62 witnesses in six months of hearings and was shown secret intelligence evidence about Mr Litvinenko and his links with British intelligence agencies.
The former officer in Russia's FSB spy agency had fled to the UK in 2000, claiming persecution, and was granted asylum. He gained British citizenship several years later.
In the years before his death, he had worked as a writer and journalist, becoming a strong critic of the Kremlin.
It is believed he also worked as a consultant for MI6, specialising in Russian organised crime.
A friend said there was personal animosity between Mr Litvinenko and Mr Putin.
"They disliked each other immensely, because Litvinenko complained about corruption… and Putin shelved his report," Alex Goldfarb said.
"And Putin considered Litvinenko, after the fact, a traitor for going public with his allegations."
Marina Litvinenko, Alexander's widow, and son Anatoly say the report may be a milestone but might not not end their struggle.
"It is important, but it is not necessarily the end", said Mrs Litvinenko, while her son said he felt "a sense of duty".
"My father did a hell of a lot to get me to this country to make sure I was safe," he added.
"I need to respect that and do whatever I can to honour his memory.
"Finding the truth is the closest we can get to justice for my father." | The long-awaited findings of a public inquiry into the killing of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko are due to be released by a judge. |

Write a concise summary for the following article. | The Objective Revision Evaluation Service software has been trained by Wikipedia editors to recognise the quality of an edit based on the language and context of the change.
There are about half a million changes to Wikipedia articles every day.
Editors and ordinary users will now be able to quickly check how likely it is a proposed alteration is "damaging".
"This allows editors to triage them from the torrent of new edits and review them with increased scrutiny," the Wikimedia Foundation said in a blog.
Other projects to engage artificial intelligence (AI) in the task of evaluating Wikipedia edits have not always been well received.
Some, for instance, have automatically downgraded the input of new editors, which has been seen as problematic for well-intentioned newcomers.
ORES aims to get around this by judging purely the content of an alteration.
"The thing to note is it doesn't judge whether the facts that people are adding are actually true, because fact-checking is immensely difficult, it's looking at the quality," said Dr John Carroll, a computational linguist at the University of Sussex.
"It should help a great deal with Wikipedia," he added.
Dr Carroll own start-up, iLexir, provides software to automatically check the quality of written English in essays by foreign language students. | Wikipedia has launched a tool designed to automatically highlight low-quality edits to articles. |
