Write a concise summary for the following article. | Rebecca Evans, 27, from Bridgend, was eight months pregnant when she died in the three-car accident on the M4 motorway near Port Talbot.
Ms Evans worked at Shelter Cymru and was also a dance teacher at the Ammanford-based Encore stage school.
Pupils, aged four to 18, have recorded the song Anfonaf Angel (I'm Sending you an Angel) in her memory.
Ms Evans and her unborn daughter Cari were killed in the crash on 29 November. Her partner Alex was unhurt in the crash but her son Cian, two, was badly injured.
He had two fractured femurs and a fractured skull and was flown by air ambulance to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.
Ms Evans had worked alongside Encore school principal Elin Wyn Murphy for three years teaching youngsters the skills for careers in stage productions, concerts and festivals.
Her death left the children stunned and they wanted to do something that would be a fitting tribute to "Becca".
Before Christmas they came together to record the song to support the Wales Air Ambulance, without whom they believe Cian may not have survived.
"I've been overwhelmed by the reaction that Encore's recording of Anfonaf Angel has received," said Ms Wyn Murphy.
"It's a very emotional song especially for me as I was asked by Becca's family to sing it at her funeral just a couple of weeks ago."
She talked of her pride for the students, adding: "They came together and showed amazing strength and courage to be able to record this tribute to Becca, who like me, they thought the world of." | Stage school students have used a song to pay tribute to their teacher who died in a car crash in November. |

Can you write a short summary of this section? | Last week a young boy in Perth attended a school event with his skin painted black in tribute to his idol, Australian Rules player Nic Naitanui.
The incident sparked furious discussion on social media.
Bec Bee, who is of Aboriginal descent, said there were "double standards" inflaming racial debates in Australia.
"I didn't see blackface," she told the BBC. "I saw a young fella who was proud to emulate his idol. There was no intent of racism."
The mother-of-two from Far North Queensland shared a photo on Facebook showing her daughter dressed as a Dr Seuss character in a red wig and white face paint for a similar school event three years ago.
"Not once did anyone say anything when I painted my black daughter white 3 years ago. We need to stop the double standards, a hero is a hero!" Ms Bee wrote.
She suggested the boy would likely be scarred by the controversy surrounding his innocent admiration for a sports star.
Ms Bee said: "I showed my daughter the article about the young boy… She said 'I'm proud that he wants to be the same colour as me'."
She said she did not believe the Western Australian mother at the centre of the debate had any intention of offending people.
"If this little boy and his mum had been mocking Indigenous culture then I can totally see how this is offensive," she said.
But some on social media disagreed with Ms Bee, saying the two photos were not comparable due to the historical usage of blackface to mock people of colour.
"Just because it doesn't offend you, doesn't mean it's not offensive," said Facebook user Aliera French.
The mother of the child who dressed in blackface last week said her son regarded Mr Naitanui as his idol and he wanted to dress up as him for Book Week.
Mr Naitanui, who is of Fijian heritage, said on Twitter that he did not believe there was any intentional offence but said the mother should "reflect and choose an alternate method next time". | An Indigenous Australian mother has posted photos of her daughter dressed in "whiteface" in response to a debate over "blackface". |
Can you summarize this content? | Culling of entire herds, more testing and cattle vaccination are needed to reverse the spread of the disease.
The lead researcher has told BBC News that the study also confirms research that shows culling badgers will at best slightly slow down rather than stop the epidemic.
The results have been published in the journal Nature.
Prof Matt Keeling of Warwick University, who led the research, told BBC News that computer projections showed that the current measures adopted by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) are unlikely to reverse the spread of TB in cattle.
"Our feeling is that we are going to see a continued increase of 10% per cent a year into the foreseeable future," he said.
Lord Krebs, who developed much of the scientific underpinning to assess the effectiveness of culling badgers to control the spread of TB in cattle said that the study's conclusions "give further support to the view that culling badgers is not an effective strategy for controlling bovine (cattle) TB".
"Instead, the emphasis should be on stopping cattle-to-cattle transmission. It is to be hoped that Defra takes on board this latest piece of scientific evidence when they formulate their policy for the future," he added.
Defra said it could not accept the paper's findings because it "does not investigate the full range of ways in which TB could spread". A spokesman said a whole herd slaughter when an infection was discovered would mean killing up to a quarter of a million animals, most of which would not be infected.
The Farming Minister George Eustice said: "What this paper proposes would finish off the cattle and dairy industry in this country."
That was a view echoed by the department's chief scientific adviser Prof Ian Boyd. He said that whole herd culling "would probably result in a rapid decline in the cattle industry in areas where TB occurs".
He added though that he believed the study backed Defra's current TB control strategy which, he said, is "designed to cope with complex and diverse routes of infection."
Prof Keeling and his co-author, Ellen Brooks-Pollock from Cambridge University, said that Mr Eustice and Prof Boyd had misunderstood the point of the study.
In a joint statement they said: "Whole herd culling was investigated as one extreme but was never put forward as a viable policy option."
The aim of the study, they say, is to give Defra some firm figures with which to begin a new cost benefit analysis. This would assess whether any of the approaches, or a combination of them, might be worth trying.
For example, a combination of whole herd culling in hotspots where there is frequent TB infection combined with vaccination, as well as more testing and individual culling might be enough to bring about a reversal in the spread of TB.
Defra is trying to stop the spread of the disease by testing cattle in infected areas and culling only those that are found to be infected. In addition, herds that have had a case of TB cannot be transported from their farm until two further tests have shown them to be free of TB.
The problem is that the current test often does not pick up animals that are in the early stages of infection. This is why the disease continues to advance slowly but inexorably, devastating the livelihoods of dairy farmers as it spreads across the country.
Last year, approximately 30,000 animals were killed, with testing, slaughter and compensation estimated to have cost the taxpayer about £100m per year.
It is for this reason that Defra began two pilot studies last year to assess whether it could cull enough badgers humanely and safely to help curb the disease. TB-infected badgers are thought to be one of the ways the disease is spread to cattle.
An independent analysis for Defra judged that the pilots had failed to kill enough badgers to have any impact on TB infection and that an excess of badgers took too long to die. The department hopes to improve the effectiveness and humaneness of the culls going forward and roll the badger cull policy out to more TB infected areas.
Prof Keeling and his team created a detailed computer model to mimic the observed spread and assess the effect of more radical control measures. The researchers found that only three would have any significant effect.
The model was not able to specifically look at the impact of culling badgers, because there is not enough information about their location, infection and movement. However, the team included an all-encompassing factor to represent infection from environmental effects which includes wildlife.
"Even if you could cull humanely and effectively large numbers of badgers, it is predicted to have a relatively small impact on controlling the number of TB cases in cattle," Prof Keeling told BBC News.
"At best, the reduction in cases would be limited," he said. Prof Keeling's finding is in line with the assessment made by a large scale study carried out in the 1990s known as the Randomised Badger Culling Trial.
But stepping up culling of potentially infected cattle would have a dramatic impact, according to Prof Keeling's model.
If the entire herd is culled once an infection is found, rather than just the animals testing positive for TB, the number of infected cattle across the country could be reduced by more than four-fifths in six years. The disadvantage of this approach though is that there would be mass slaughter of animals in the early years.
This would have a devastating effect on the livestock industry and the cost of compensating farmers could be up to £900m in the first year, estimates Prof Keeling.
Another effective option is to test cattle for TB more often. The model suggests that, had there been just one extra round of tests on each farm in 2005, the number of TB cases would have been cut by nearly a quarter by 2010. The downside of this approach is that testing is expensive and initially this strategy would identify more cases, making it appear that TB was increasing which might be politically embarrassing.
Defra has introduced more testing since the study was carried out but, according to Prof Keeling, it is likely that the effect of the new tests will be to slightly slow the advance of TB in cattle rather than stop or reverse it.
"We expect the additional testing to have brought about a slight decline in the rate of increase, but it does look like we need to start thinking a bit wider about how we are going to reverse the spread of this infection and bring it under control," he told BBC News.
The third approach is to vaccinate cattle, which might stall, though not reverse, the increase in TB cases. The disadvantage of this approach is that current regulations forbid the sale of vaccinated cattle.
The National Farmers Union's deputy president Minette Batters said: "No one has ever said culling badgers alone will eradicate bovine TB but we believe wildlife control in areas where TB is endemic along with cattle testing, strengthened cattle movement controls, vaccination of both badgers and cattle when available and where appropriate, and improved biosecurity must be an essential part of any eradication strategy if we are ever going to get rid of this terrible disease."
Dominic Dyer, chief executive of the Badger Trust and a policy advisor to campaigners Care for the Wild, said: "It is now time for the government to call an immediate halt to all future badger culls and to move its focus to the gaping holes in its cattle management policy, which this report shows has allowed TB in cattle to spread."

What is the summary of the document provided? | Speaking from the White House, he said it would not have served the "national interests" of the US.
Its construction has been hotly disputed for seven years, with environmentalists saying it would do irreparable damage.
But the president said the pipeline had taken on an "overinflated role" in the climate change debate.
The proposed pipeline would have run 1,179-miles (1,897km) taking 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta, Canada, to Steele City, Nebraska.
But Mr Obama said it would not have:
"The pipeline would not make a meaningful long-term contribution to our economy," he said.
Republican presidential candidates condemned the news, with Jeb Bush calling it an attack on the US economy.
In February, the Republican-led Congress voted to begin construction immediately, but Mr Obama vetoed the bill to await environmental reports.
It took more than seven years, but Barack Obama has finally got to "no".
Maybe it was the election of a Liberal government in Canada that is more suspicious of big energy projects. Maybe it was the sharp decline in oil prices over the past year. Or maybe it was Friday's announcement that the US unemployment rate has dropped to 5%, the lowest of Mr Obama's presidency.
Whatever the explanation, the president decided now was the time to finally strike the death blow to the controversial pipeline. It's a move that will be heralded by environmentalists, condemned by Republicans on the presidential campaign trail and - almost certainly - largely overlooked by an American public that was never really engaged on the issue.
The president's decision puts Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton in a comfortable spot. She had recently come out against the pipeline, and Mr Obama's move takes the issue off the table - at least for now.
The decision comes as world leaders plan to meet in Paris at the end of the month to finalise a major global climate agreement.
The agreement, which could be reached at the meeting known as the UN Climate Change Conference or COP 21, would be a major part of the president's legacy.
Video: Why does Paris climate change conference matter?
While the project is dead for now, the pipeline controversy will not end any time soon.
Proponents will almost certainly challenge the decision in court and if a Republican is elected president next year, construction could yet be approved.
The pipeline also generated controversy outside of Washington, souring relations between the former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the US president.
President Obama said he had spoken to newly-elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and they agreed the issue of climate change trumped any differences of opinion over the pipeline.
Danielle Stoton, 19, went to The Gatehouse, Doncaster, with her mother Michelle on Saturday to meet a friend.
But Miss Stoton was refused service at the bar, despite showing a card explaining her medical condition.
Pub owner J D Wetherspoon said: "This was an error and one which we wholeheartedly apologise for."
Updates on this story and more from around South Yorkshire
Miss Stoton suffered brain injuries, leaving her with slurred speech, in a hit-and-run in Armthorpe, Doncaster, in August 2014.
Her mother said it had been a "huge step" in Danielle's rehabilitation to go into a pub and order drinks and she had been apprehensive before the visit.
She admitted Danielle had sworn at bar staff after being refused service, but was still asked to leave after showing the pub's manager a card detailing the effects of her injuries.
"The front lobe damage to Danielle does cause short temper", she said, but added the experience had "been a real setback", for her daughter.
Mrs Stoton said the effects of her daughter's injuries were still "really raw after bringing Danielle up for 18 years to be independent".
Wetherspoon's spokesman Eddie Gershon said Miss Stoton should have been served by a staff member at the pub on Priory Walk.
"We will be retraining our staff in relation to this incident and will carry out a full investigation", he added.

Jon Straw, prosecuting, said Clarke's actions came after he was refused his request for an afternoon phone call.
He said the prisoner had become "petulant and abusive" and had threatened to cut himself with a toothbrush which had two razor blades melted into it, before starting the fire.
"One of the officers said it was the worst cell fire he had ever seen," Mr Straw added.
David Eager, mitigating, said Clarke had never intended to harm anyone else and had seen a psychiatrist who had concluded he was not dangerous.
Clarke, he said, had a history of taking so-called legal highs and harming himself.
Passing sentence, Judge Michael Heath told Clarke he had caused serious disruption to the prison and that the danger to other inmates was obvious.
Ms Mayawati, an icon to millions of low-caste Dalits, rules over India's most populous state which is also one of the poorest in the country.
But the cables on whistleblower site Wikileaks described her as "obsessed with becoming Prime Minister".
Ms Mayawati or her office is yet to respond to the leaked cables.
An official in the state government told the BBC the government was unlikely to respond.
Cables, dated 23 October 2008 and marked confidential, are among the latest set of documents released by Wikileaks in recent days.
"When she needed new sandals, her private jet flew empty to Mumbai to retrieve her preferred brand," the cables say.
They add that the chief minister is paranoid about her security and "fears assassination" and employs "food tasters" to guard against poisoning.
She maintains a "vice-like grip on all levels of power" and all decisions must run through her or a small group of advisors, the releases say.
Ms Mayawati has sparked controversy for building statues of herself and other Dalit icons, but she denies encouraging a personality cult.
In the last few years, huge concrete parks have been built in the state capital, Lucknow, and Noida, a Delhi suburb, with scores of massive stone statues of Ms Mayawati dotting the landscape.

What is the summary of the document provided? | Historians have long known the circle of stones is aligned with the midsummer sunrise but Tim Daw says the tallest one is lined up with the midwinter sun.
It was previously thought the stone had been put back at the wrong angle when it was re-erected in 1901.
But Mr Daw, who works there, says his research shows its angle is deliberate.
Mr Daw said: "The largest stone at Stonehenge is not where it 'should' be, it is twisted.
"This stone, Stone 56, is the tallest one at the end of the inner horseshoe of sarsen stones.
"Because it was put back to the vertical in 1901 it has been assumed that the twist is the result of the modern excavators botching the job.
"My research shows that not only was the standing stone out of symmetry with the central solstice alignment originally, but that its now fallen partner had also been, and so were surrounding stones, including the Altar Stone."
Mr Daw, who last year came up with evidence that the outer stone circle at Stonehenge was once complete, said his newly discovered alignment was at 80 degrees to the line of the axis of the monument, which points to midsummer solstice sunrise and midwinter sunset.
"The stones point to the midwinter solstice sunrise and midsummer sunset," he said.
"This alignment had been missed by previous investigators... as they used an idealised plan rather than an actual plan for their calculations."
"This isn't some nebulous sighting line on a distant star; this is 100 tonnes of stone deliberately pointing to the major event at the other end of the day the rest of the monument celebrates.
"One stone out of line might be a coincidence but that it is five of the major stones, at least, shows it was a designed feature.
"It shows what can be discovered by simple observation even in such a well-researched site as Stonehenge."
Director of the Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Society (WANHS), David Dawson, said: "This is an interesting new idea which highlights the "skew" of the Stonehenge trilithons, which has been known for some time.
"It highlights the significance of the summer and winter solstices at Stonehenge, and the 80 degree angle between them.
"We know that the Bush Barrow lozenge, on display at the Wiltshire Museum, hints at this same significant astronomical feature.
"There will now be a debate between archaeologists and a re-examination of the evidence to test this new hypothesis."
Jessica Trethowan from English Heritage said it was "an interesting idea".

Can you provide an overview of this section? | Gray, who succeeds Gerard Lyttle in the Solitude hotseat, took Warrenpoint from junior football to the Premiership during a decade in charge.
He said: "Cliftonville fans like good, attractive and entertaining football and I can certainly promise them that's what we'll be working on from day one."
Gray joins the north Belfast side on a rolling contract.
His backroom team will include Harry Fay and Stephen Small.
Cliftonville's search for a new manager began when Lyttle left last month to become Sligo Rovers boss.
Tommy Breslin, who stepped down as Reds manager in 2015, returned to the club in a temporary role for the last league game and the Europa League play-offs.
Cliftonville finished fifth in the Premiership and their season ended with a 5-3 home defeat by Glenavon in Tuesday's play-off semi-final.
Gray operated in the dual role of manager and Director of Football at Warrenpoint until Matthew Tipton took over as boss last November.
The Co Down club was relegated in 2016 but has made an immediate return to the Premiership by winning the Championship title last month.
"I didn't really expect to be back in management quite so quickly because I'd always have been quite pernickety and fussy about what club was right for me and ticked all the boxes," added Gray.
Cliftonville does that, no question about it. There would have been very few other jobs that I'd have been interested in so, when the opportunity arose, it's not something I had to think about.
"I like my teams to play attractive football at a high tempo and that's what I'll be setting us up to do."
During the campaign, Mr Trump called for greater protection for US jobs and said he would tear up the Trans-Pacific Partnership - the biggest multinational trade deal in years.
But after a two-day summit in Peru, leaders defended the benefits of open markets.
China also claimed growing support for a wider 21-nation trade deal it backs.
In a communiqué at the end of the summit the Apec leaders said: "We reaffirm our commitment to keep our markets open and to fight against all forms of protectionism."
It also referred to the "rising scepticism over trade", after the uneven recovery since the financial crisis had caused more people to question whether globalisation worked for enough people.
But the leaders said that the "the benefits of trade and open markets need to be communicated to the wider public more effectively, emphasising how trade promotes innovation, employment and higher living standards".
What is the Trans-Pacific Partnership?
The TPP pact involves 12 countries: the US, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Chile and Peru.
The pact aims to deepen economic ties between these nations, slashing tariffs and fostering trade to boost growth.
But Donald Trump said the proposal was a "terrible deal" that would send American jobs to countries with cheaper labour.
The agreement must by ratified in the US Congress, which remains in the hands of Mr Trump's Republican party - meaning it's expected to fail.
Hillary Clinton, Mr Trump's election rival, had also opposed it.
But after the Apec meeting, US President Barack Obama reiterated his support for the pact, saying not going ahead would undermine the US position across Asia Pacific.
He warned he was already hearing calls for a less ambitious trade agreement that would exclude US workers and businesses.
"When it comes to trade, I believe the answer is not to pull back," he said. "The answer is to do trade right, making sure it has strong labour standards, strong environmental standards, that it addresses ways in which workers and ordinary people can benefit rather than be harmed by global trade.''
But while some leaders think the TPP could go ahead without the US, others say it would be impossible without a complete renegotiation.

Summarize the information in the following document. | Lawyers for patients of Rob Jones have agreed with Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust (RCHT) that anyone maltreated by him over a 20-year period can claim.
Foot Anstey Solicitors, which is representing more than 100 women, said it was a "great stride forward".
The RCHT said it would do all it could to process claims "swiftly".
A statement said the trust was pleased the protocol had now been finalised.
Foot Anstey said about 1,000 women may have been harmed.
Mr Jones was suspended in May 2012 after a report from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists found a number of serious concerns about his practices.
They included patients having more than five times the number of surgical complications during key hole hysterectomy operations than would "usually be expected".
Mr Jones, who delivered Prime Minister David Cameron's youngest child Florence in 2010, voluntarily removed himself from the medical register in October 2012.
The following month, the RCHT announced a clinical review of 2,300 patients who had been seen by the surgeon in the previous two and a half years - many of whom received further treatment as a result.
As part of the agreed protocol, an independent assessment will now be open to any woman who was treated by him from 1992 to 2012.
A maximum amount of compensation has been set at £250,000.
Mike Bird of Foot Anstey said "about 1,000 women may have suffered harm" from their treatment.
One patient who is contemplating legal action, Claire Hill, had an operation done in 2010.
It went wrong and she had to return to him for a hysterectomy which left her with a "devastating injury" when a hole was torn in her urinary tract.
She said: "I think there's still a long way to go but the protocol is good news."
The Medical Defence Union said Mr Jones did not wish to comment. | A three-year time limit for medical negligence claims from women who suspect they were injured by a Cornwall gynaecologist has been lifted. |
Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Ciarán Maxwell, 31, appeared via video link at the Old Bailey in London.
He was arrested in Somerset last August after the discovery of two dissident republican arms dumps near Larne, County Antrim.
He also pleaded guilty to drugs and fraud charges.
Maxwell admitted assisting another to commit acts of terrorism between 2011 and 2016.
He appeared via videolink from Woodhill Prison near Milton Keynes; he spoke only to confirm his name and enter guilty pleas to all the charges.
The marine was remanded in custody, and is to be sentenced at a later date.
Ciarán Maxwell was brought up in Larne's Seacourt estate - he began the rigorous training to become a Royal Marine in 2010.
His Facebook page featured pictures of exercises in Britain and abroad.
But the charge suggests he was involved in terrorism from 2011, before he'd even finished that training.
The 31-year-old has a partner and child. What influenced him to turn terrorist may never be known but his case could prompt a review of vetting procedures.
It also raises questions over how he was able to take anti-personnel mines from his base in Somerset to Northern Ireland.
It is understood Ciarán Maxwell has cooperated with police since his arrest and this along with his guilty plea will be taken into account when it comes to sentencing.
The defendant had no previous criminal record but he had made the headlines before.
In 2002 republican paper An Phoblacht reported that he had been the subject of an unprovoked attack by a group of loyalists near his home in Larne.
Maxwell, who is originally from Larne, County Antrim, was based with 40 Commando in Somerset.
According to the charge details, he had a stash of explosives in purpose-built hides in England and Northern Ireland.
He compiled a library of terrorism documents, including instructions on how to make explosives and tactics used by terrorist organisations.
He also had maps, plans and lists of potential targets for a terrorist, as well as images of an adapted Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) pass card and a PSNI uniform.
He bought chemicals and components and went on to manufacture explosives and devices, the court heard.
Last March, police said bomb-making parts had been found in barrels hidden in a wooded area in Carnfunnock County Park in County Antrim.
Two months later another "terrorist hide" was found in Capanagh Forest, also near Larne.
Police described it as one of the most significant arms finds in recent years.
Of particular concern to security chiefs was the discovery of military grade anti-personnel mines.
Their serial numbers revealed they had been taken from the Royal Marines base in Somerset where Ciarán Maxwell was based.
Court papers revealed that 12 hides were discovered in total.
Ciarán Maxwell: Full list of charges
Cdr Dean Haydon of the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command said the investigation had resulted in a "significant disruption and protected public safety by removing a large quantity of dangerous material from circulation."
PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Martin said the case highlighted the benefits of "excellent collaborative working" between the PSNI, the Metropolitan Police and other agencies.
"Working together, we have disrupted the activity of a dangerous individual and removed a very significant threat," he added. | A Royal Marine from Northern Ireland has pleaded guilty to offences related to dissident republican terrorism, including bomb-making and storing stolen military weapons. |
Provide a brief summary of this section. | The three Dutch experts said the train might leave the town of Torez later.
All 298 people on board flight MH17 died when it crashed over the rebel-held area on 17 July. The US and other nations say there is growing evidence of Russian complicity in the crash.
Meanwhile, heavy fighting is reported in the main rebel-held city of Donetsk.
The clashes - involving heavy weapons - are continuing near the city's airport and the railway station, eyewitnesses say.
At least three civilians were reported killed, and one multi-storey building was seen on fire. Residents are fleeing the city, report BBC correspondents on the ground.
The fighting in eastern Ukraine erupted in April and is believed to have claimed more than 1,000 lives.
In other developments on Monday:
The Dutch experts from the Disaster Victims Identification team are the first international investigators to arrive in the region where the Boeing 777 went down after being reportedly hit by a missile.
Monitors from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) have been at the accident site, but their access to the wreckage was limited by the rebels.
On Monday, the Dutch experts examined some of the 196 bodies kept in refrigerator wagons in Torez, some 15km away from the crash site.
"I think the storage of the bodies is of good quality," team leader Peter van Leit said after the inspection.
The investigators added that they had urged the rebels to allow the train to leave.
Correspondents in Torez said the smell of decay emanating from the carriages was overwhelming.
The Dutch experts also later visited the crash site, where some passengers' remains were still lying in bags exposed to summer heat.
A Malaysian team of 133 officials and experts, comprising of search and recovery personnel, forensics experts, technical and medical experts has arrived in Ukraine. A separate UK group of air accident investigators is also there.
But the government in Kiev says it has been unable to establish a safe corridor to the crash site.
There has been international outcry over the way rebels have handled the situation, delaying access to the site and allowing untrained volunteers to comb through the area.
The rebels have said they will hand over MH17's flight recorders to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
But US President Barack Obama has accused rebels of tampering with other potential evidence and called for the international experts to be granted "immediate and full" access to the site.
"What exactly are [the rebels] trying to hide?" he said at a press briefing on Monday.
Mr Obama warned that Russia would "only further isolate itself" if it failed to compel the separatists to co-operate.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said there was strong evidence that pro-Russian separatists shot down the plane with an anti-aircraft system known as Buk.
Russia on Monday again denied allegations that it had supplied such missiles or "any other weapons" to the rebels.
Separately, the Netherlands announced on Monday it had opened an investigation into the disaster, which killed 193 Dutch nationals.
A spokesman for Dutch prosecutors said the charges could include murder, war crimes and intentionally downing an airliner.
The Netherlands claims the right under international law to prosecute anyone suspected of committing a war crime against a Dutch citizen.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | One park, Flip Out Stoke, called out an ambulance more than once a week on average. But Jump Lanes, Londonderry, had no callouts across the 12 months.
Statistics from a Freedom of Information request show callouts made by 30 parks in 12 months to April 2016.
More than 140 UK trampoline parks have opened since the first in 2014.
One park in Chester is investigating after three people broke vertebrae in their backs on the same day.
Operators insist the number of injuries is very small compared to the total number of users.
Thirteen ambulance trusts across the UK confirmed that, between April 2015 and April 2016, 30 parks required 315 ambulance call outs.
The figures showed:
Flip Out Stoke is a franchise of the same company behind Flip Out Chester, where an investigation into the injuries is under way.
Flip Out has closed the Jump Tower section of the Chester park.
It said the call out rates should be taken in the context of the number of users - 200,000 visitors have been to the Chester site since it opened in December 2016.
Another of the company's franchises, Flip Out Portsmouth, had a lower call out rate, with paramedics attending eight times in its first 106 days - an average of once every 13 days.
A broken limb was the top injury suspected [14 of the 65 call outs] with broken legs the most common.
The other most common suspected injuries were spinal, head, back and foot.
Student George Magraw, 21, was one of the three people who broke their back on the same day jumping from Flip Out Chester's 4m high 'Tower Jump'.
He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I'd been jumping on the trampolines for ten minutes when I moved on to the Tower Jump.
"I jumped off the ledge just how I'd been told in the safety video but as soon as I landed I was in pain.
"I crawled out of the foam pit and stood up. I could definitely feel that the bone wasn't right.
"The staff gave me first aid and offered to ring an ambulance but my dad was only minutes away so he took me instead.
"When I arrived at A&E I was quickly put on a bed and taken for an X-Ray. It was then they told me I'd broken my back."
George's transfer to a specialist unit in Walton was delayed because the centre was already dealing with another customer injured on the jump.
His mother, Janet Magraw, is now warning parents to understand the risks: "I always thought that going to a trampoline park, it's a soft landing and everything's okay.
"I've since heard from lots of medical staff that that's not the case - it's quite a dangerous place to be.
"I personally wouldn't recommend anybody going to them. At half term it was sickening me that there was a big queue of little kids going into that place.
"As a mum, you just really feel it could be life-changing."
A spokesman for Flip Out Chester said since its December 2016 opening, around 200,000 people had visited and it had "an excellent safety record".
"We welcome feedback from our customers and we are investigating these claims to establish exactly what happened," he said.
CEO at Oxygen, David Stalker said it got the design of their park wrong when it first opened.
He said: "The trend was towards opening up spaces, rather than zoning the trampolines into smaller areas as we do now.
"The more open space you have, the more speed you can gain. The result was more injuries."
He added: "We've now altered the designs for future parks and changed the layout at Southampton."
One of the smallest parks, Jump Lanes in Londonderry, which has around 25,000 visitors a year, had the fewest call outs - none in 12 months.
Air Hop in Guildford is one of the largest parks. Its smaller site in Bristol saw fewer callouts with eight in 193 days - one every 24 days.
Spokesman Chris Gilmour said trampoline parks should be viewed in context of other activities that carry risk.
He said: "Hospitals will tell you that, yes, they get injuries from trampoline parks but they see worse from people playing football or rugby.
"When you look at the percentage of customers who are injured it's in the hundredths of a percent."
The BSI [British Standards Institution] published standards for trampoline parks, at the request of the industry, earlier this month.
They include minimum specifications for the number of stewards and rules on specific safety features.
Peter Brown, chair of the UK's largest industry body the International Association of Trampoline Parks UK [IATP] said many parks were already up to standard.
New parks would have to comply and inspections would begin in August.
"Any issues we find will have to be put right within a reasonable timeframe, depending on how significant it is. In the most severe cases we will insist attractions are closed until fixed."
The number of parks in the UK has increased sharply since the first one opened in May 2014 - inspired by a craze that started in 2004 in the United States.
Thirty-seven had opened by November 2015, rising to 110 by November 2016, and 144 in early March 2017.
By Easter 2017, the IATP estimates there will be 150 parks in operation across the UK, with at least 15m visitors per year. | Ambulances were called to trampoline parks in the UK more than 300 times in a year, figures obtained by BBC 5 live's Daily programme show. |
What is the summary of the provided article? | The Cornwall Federation of WIs (CFWI) says the hall at Kelly Bray is theirs and anyone wishing to use it should seek their permission.
But according to locals, the hall was purchased in 1937 by the village for the WI.
The row started after the local branch of the WI, which met in the hall, folded in 2013 due to lack of members.
The CFWI changed the locks and put up a sign regarding entry requirements in November 2014.
However, residents changed the locks again and are using it for events.
The hall, on the corner of Stokes Road and Parson's Green, was built with the deeds saying the site was sold "for an Institute for the women of Kelly Bray".
The CFWI said in a statement: "The hall was established specifically for the use of WI and not for village hall purposes.
"The recent actions of the village hall committee to force entry in the building, change the locks and deny access to the trustees of CFWI are not only highly regrettable but also illegal, and the trustees are seeking a way forward through discussions with their lawyers."
The village hall committee rejected the WI's claims, saying that according to their interpretation of the deeds, the hall was purchased by the village for the use of the WI ladies and they have vowed to carry on using it.
It said the hall had been used over the years for events such as Christenings, wakes, dog-grooming classes and Young Farmers' pantos as well as the WI.
Susie Iannantuoni, from the village committee, said villagers had been "horrified" when the hall was locked by the WI.
"We have money to pay the bills, we have insured it and running repairs are being done.
"I think the situation is dreadful. We have the same aims as the WI, to have the hall for the community and reach out to people. We are providing a social service."
However, the 35-year-old, capped 103 times, is adamant that he will never retire himself from Scotland duty.
He told BBC Scotland: "I was having this conversation with the missus yesterday, that this could be the last time I run out at Murrayfield.
"I said, 'No, it's not! No, it's not!' I want to keep going."
The Glasgow Warriors winger's caps haul is bettered only by Chris Paterson, who played for Scotland on 109 occasions.
"It is a bit of a cliche but you should play every game like it's your last," he said.
"But I'll keep going. I will become surplus to requirements rather than retire."
Lamont scored a brace of tries when Scotland last beat France, 20-16 in 2006, and he believes it is time to break that run and build on the recent win over Italy.
"Ten years is too long, way too long. One year is too long for us," he said.
"We're looking to make a statement this weekend. We should be beating Italy every year - no disrespect to them - and then looking to pick off others. We've got a good win but we now need to back that up."
Those thoughts are echoed by team captain Greig Laidlaw, who accepts there is pressure on the players to build on the success against the Azzurri at the Stadio Olimpico.
"There's pressure on us and it's that internal pressure we put on each other as a group and as the boys out on the field that have to drive this team forward," Laidlaw asserted.
"It's up to nobody else to get the win this weekend.
"After the win in Rome, which was brilliant, we now have to park that and take another step forward.
"We can't relax by thinking we've beaten Italy and won a game. That's not good enough. We have to go and win another one."
The victim, who was found near the Post Office on Cleethorpes High Street at about 02:45 GMT on Friday, remains in hospital, Humberside Police said.
A 33-year-old man held on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent has been released on bail pending further enquiries until a later date.

A man has been arrested following an attack on a 26-year-old man in Lincolnshire which left him with life-threatening injuries. |
Provide a brief summary of this section. | Two people died in the blaze, which broke out at St Michael's Hospice in St Leonards, East Sussex, in the early hours of Saturday.
Police are currently unable to question the suspect because of his ill health.
Jill Moon, 62, and David Denness, 81, from Hastings, died in hospital. Tests are continuing to establish the cause of their deaths.
A 78-year-old woman also died after the fire, but her death is not thought to be linked to the blaze.
Police first arrested the man on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, and later on suspicion of two counts of murder.
Celia Pyke-Lees, hospice chief executive, said police were still waiting to question the man.
She said: "Our main priority now is supporting the patients and their families along with all the hospice staff and volunteers."
Twenty three patients, some terminally ill, were evacuated from the building and are now receiving round-the-clock care from hospice staff at five other sites.
Ms Pyke-Lees said the hospice nursing team, who got all the patients out of the hospice on the night of the fire, were "true heroines".
A social media appeal for items needed by the patients is continuing.
Exeter wing Nowell twisted his knee against Gloucester, while Saracens lock Kruis was concussed against Harlequins and taken off on a stretcher.
But, in front of new England boss Eddie Jones, Tuilagi came off the bench for Leicester as they beat Northampton.
Saints hooker Dylan Hartley missed the game because of a "bang to the ribs".
England's Six Nations campaign begins against Scotland on 6 February and Jones is due to reveal his first England elite squad squad since taking over from Stuart Lancaster on Wednesday.
He now has more injury worries to add to centre Henry Slade, back row Dave Ewers, lock Ed Slater, prop Kieran Brookes and wing Jonny May, who is out for the season with a knee injury.
Nowell injured his knee in the 19-10 victory over the luckless May's club, Gloucester, although the extent of the injury is not yet known.
Exeter backs coach Ali Hepher said Nowell had picked up a "twisted knee" and would be "assessed in the week", but added: "Sometimes the least painful ones can be the longest out."
Kruis was struck by the swinging arm of James Horwill just 90 seconds into the 29-23 defeat by Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop and was tended to by medics for eight minutes before being carried off on a stretcher.
Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall said: "George is fine. There is nothing wrong other than the concussion. He was knocked out. He'll do the normal checks."
He will now be assessed ahead of Saturday's Champions Cup match with Ulster.
Tuilagi played his first game since suffering a serious groin injury in October 2014.
The 24-year-old managed 20 minutes after coming on in the second half of the thrilling 30-27 win against Northampton.
He was a late inclusion on the Leicester bench, with his appearance in the match-day squad only announced less than an hour before kick-off as Leicester looked to dampen down excitement ahead of his return.
And Leicester boss Richard Cockerill urged caution over the block-busting centre's fitness for the Six Nations opener at Murrayfield.
He said: "I will speak to Eddie [Jones] in the next few days. Manu will keep improving, but the start of the Six Nations is unrealistic because we need to make sure he is 100% right."
Northampton hooker Hartley, a contender for the England captaincy, was forced to withdraw from the Saints replacements shortly before the game with a rib injury.
Northampton boss Jim Mallinder said: "He got a bang to his ribs last week. He trained a little bit in the week but at the last minute, he was just too sore to play today. He is not going to be out for a long time." | A 67-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder after a fire at a hospice was a patient there, managers have said.

Give a brief summary of the following article. | Work is ongoing on the multi-million pound project to lay 30 miles of new track and build seven new stations.
Mr Salmond also announced a feasibility study to look at ways to use the railway to boost tourism in the area.
Among the possibilities is a permanent exhibit of the Great Tapestry of Scotland at Tweedbank Station.
Mr Salmond also unveiled plans for a "steam train experience" on the line which could also start in September 2015.
He met members of Scottish Borders Council (SBC), Great Tapestry of Scotland (GTS) trustees, members of the Borders Tourism Industry and members of the Waverley Route Heritage Association in Tweedbank to discuss the plans.
He said: "From September 2015 - for the first time in almost half a century - there will be passenger train services running on this track.
"For commuters and tourists alike, the reopened line will provide opportunities to enjoy the many fantastic attractions and experiences on offer in the Borders.
"We can expect the Scottish economy to benefit by tens of millions of pounds from the regular train line."
The feasibility study will look at how the area can benefit from the railway.
Other measures announced to help boost the tourism potential of the new railway include:
SBC leader David Parker said he was delighted by the plans to "further strengthen the tourism potential of the Borders railway".
"The Scottish government's commitment to steam and charter trains is extremely welcome and will be a fantastic boost to the Borders economy," he said.
He said the plans for the permanent home for the Great Tapestry of Scotland were also "fantastic news".
Alistair Moffat, co-chairman of the GTS Trustees, said: "Four years ago, work on the Great Tapestry of Scotland began - in the Borders.
"When Sandy McCall Smith had the idea and asked me to start working on the narrative, I did that work at my house near Selkirk.
"And it is very fitting and satisfying that a work of art that has been made all over Scotland, stitched by a thousand Scots, should come back home to the Borders, the place where Scotland's textile industry saw its fullest flowering."
Midlothian Council leader Owen Thompson said plans for a path from the Newtongrange Station to the museum were very welcome.
"The station itself will potentially bring enormous economic benefits to the area and to hear Transport Scotland is now funding a path straight to one of our most fascinating museums is great news for the museum in particular and tourism in general," he said.
Catherine Maxwell Stewart, of the Scottish Borders Community Planning Partnership, said the announcements would help to "put the Borders on the map as a tourist destination for all."
VisitScotland Chairman Mike Cantlay said the railway was a "huge opportunity for Scottish tourism".
The study of tourist potential was also welcomed by David Spaven, the author of a book on the route.
He said that none of the developments would have been possible without the "dogged efforts of rail campaigners over a period of more than a decade".
"Of course, a key tourism issue which has still to be sorted out is how the charter trains will be accommodated within the limited single-track infrastructure being provided by Transport Scotland," he said.
He said it would need a "lot of ingenuity" to properly accommodate tourist charter demand on the railway. | First Minister Alex Salmond has announced that trains will start to run on the Borders to Edinburgh railway from 6 September 2015. |

Following a "call-in" of that decision, council members voted by 41 to 16 to object to his plan.
Those against argued the council's long-term investment would make way for a "short-term advantage" and that the freehold was worth more than £10m.
Mr Ferguson told the debate it was not a case of "letting the family silver go" but how it was reinvested.
The council currently holds a 12.5% share in the ports.
Labour's Helen Holland criticised the proposal, saying there was "great frustration" at the lack of information about the sale.
Conservative councillor, Peter Abraham said city had received some £68m income from the port since it was sold in 1991.
And Liberal Democrat Gary Hopkins said the council should be thinking about the "long-term interest" of keeping the share "and not a smash-and-grab".
The Green Party's Charlie Bolton said while the Greens supported the port, he objected to the sale of even the freehold as it was a "community asset".

Emaar Properties has not announced the height of the proposed tower, saying only that it would be "a notch" taller than the Burj Khalifa's 828m (2,717ft).
The $1bn (£710m) project is scheduled to be completed for the Dubai Expo trade fair in 2020.
It is expected to have residential units, a rooftop courtyard and a hotel.
The new tower is designed by Spanish-Swiss neo-futuristic architect Santiago Calatrava Valls and will be supported by a matrix of cables.
The structure's design means that it is unlikely to be widely recognized as a taller "building" than the Burj Khalifa even if it surpasses it in height, Associated Press reported.
Emaar-built Burj Khalifa is expected to be overtaken by the 1km-high (0.6 mile) Kingdom Tower in Jeddah as the world's tallest building in 2020.
The construction will be the centre piece of the redevelopment of the Dubai Creek, the heart of old Dubai. It will also have observation decks and restaurants.
The announcement from the government-backed company comes as developers continue to launch new projects amid what experts are saying is a softening real state sector.
The downgrading of neonatal services at North Tees Hospital in Stockton had been recommended by NHS England.
Babies would have been sent to neonatal intensive care units in Middlesbrough, Sunderland or Newcastle instead.
The North East Joint Health Scrutiny Committee chairman said he was "totally unconvinced" by the case for a special care-only service at North Tees.
Ray Martin Wells, who is also a Hartlepool councillor, said the committee made it clear any potential changes were going to be looked at "extremely carefully".
As part of a review of services for babies in the region a Royal College of Paediatrics report recommended concentrating resources in larger regional centres, saying they offered the best care from specialist staff.
Mr Martin Wells said the evidence was "less than convincing".
Health bosses have confirmed there would be "no major downgrading" of neonatal services at North Tees, Hartlepool Council said.
Shaun and Kirsty Lowther, whose premature twins were cared for at North Tees, helped co-ordinate a petition against the plans, signed by more than 6,000 people.
Mrs Lowther said it would be "absolutely diabolical" if the neonatal unit closed.
"In our circumstances, if we'd had to travel with Ava and Noah, my twins, to James Cook [hospital] they wouldn't have survived the journey.
"So, to us, it's a matter of life and death."

Can you summarize the following information? | Mr Perry turned himself into police on Tuesday, vowing to fight the case with "every fibre of my being".
If tried and found guilty, he could face up to 99 years in prison.
The governor, a potential Republican presidential hopeful, has dismissed the prosecution as a political ploy.
Mr Perry filed his plea with the court on Tuesday shortly after he was fingerprinted and had his mug shot taken.
He was indicted by a grand jury panel of Texas residents on Friday after months of investigation into his motivation for cutting funds amounting to $7.5m (£4.5m) to a state anti-corruption unit run by Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg.
In June 2013, Mr Perry threatened to withhold funding for the Public Integrity Unit of the Travis County District Attorney's Office unless Ms Lehmberg, a Democrat, resigned over widely publicised drink-driving charges.
Ms Lehmberg refused to resign and several days later Mr Perry carried out the veto, partially defunding her office.
The indictment charges that Mr Perry "intentionally or knowingly misused government property... with intent to harm another" and charged him with abuse of office and coercion of a public servant.
Abuse of office can carry punishments of between five to 99 years in prison, while coercion of a public servant carries sentences ranging from two to 10 years.
On Tuesday evening dozens of supporters, reporters and a handful of protesters greeted Mr Perry as he arrived at a courthouse in Austin, some holding signs declaring "Stop Democrat Games", "Rick is Right" and "Keep Calm and Veto On".
"I'm going to fight this injustice with every fibre of my being," Mr Perry said at a podium bearing the seal of his office before walking inside. "And we will prevail."
He returned quickly, telling the crowd he was confident he would be found innocent.
"We don't resolve political disputes or policy differences by indictments," he said before documenting a trip to get ice cream on Twitter. "We don't criminalise policy disagreements."
Mr Perry, 63, is the longest-serving governor in the state's history and the first governor of Texas to be indicted on criminal charges in nearly a century.
He ran unsuccessfully for the 2012 Republican Party presidential nomination and had been seen as positioning himself for another run in 2016.
The council had hoped to secure a partnership to fund the six-camera service with a local university.
But councillors have been told the project will not go ahead.
Meanwhile Dyfed-Powys' Police and Crime Commissioner has launched a review of CCTV in the region.
Christopher Salmon has said the police would be prepared to help fund cameras surveillance systems in Ceredigion, Powys, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire if the findings are favourable.
Earlier this year Ceredigion council decided to stop funding the system in the county to save £150,000.
It was part of its aim to plug a budget deficit of £9.6m during the next financial year.
The local authority then asked the five community councils with cameras if they were willing foot the CCTV bill from 1 April.
Aberystwyth, Cardigan, Aberaeron and New Quay councils decided not to pay for CCTV coverage.
But Lampeter councillors started discussions on future CCTV provision with University of Wales Trinity St David, which has a campus in Lampeter.
The town council has now abandoned any hope of running the service after those talks came to nothing.
Mayor, Dorothy Williams, said: "The university has decided not to work with us on this project so we have decided not to manage the CCTV cameras in Lampeter because we can't afford it."
But CCTV coverage in the county could be resurrected in the future after Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner, Christopher Salmon's decision to review the service.
He said: "Although the police do not fund CCTV right now, I am committed to providing a solution." | Republican Texas Governor Rick Perry has pleaded not guilty to charges he abused his power in an attempt to pressure a Democratic political adversary to resign.

Summarize the content given in the passage. | A law passed by the Argentine Congress says public transport must have signs saying "Las Malvinas son Argentinas" (the Falkland Islands are Argentine).
The Argentine MP behind the initiative said it would reflect "our undeniable sovereignty" over the islands.
But the source said the move was a "hostile course of action".
The move was introduced as part of a wider raft of public transport reforms which were passed unanimously on Thursday.
Senator Teresina Luna, the member of Congress who proposed the new regulation, wrote to the president of the parliament to say: "It is directed not only at the foreigner who comes here as a tourist or visits our country, but also at the citizens in general, and will serve to reinforce our history, our culture and our identity."
Argentina lays claim to the islands, which it calls Las Malvinas, but Britain maintains that it has sovereignty and has accused Argentina of ignoring the wishes of the island's residents who wish to remain British.
Last year, Falkland islanders took part in a referendum, voting by 1,513 to three to remain a British overseas territory.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said at the time that the result "could not have sent a clearer message" but Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has maintained that the islanders' wishes are not relevant.
The source added: "No sign can change the rights of the Falkland islanders to their own identity and we are determined to uphold that right." | Argentina's decision to display signs expressing the country's claim over the Falklands is "regrettable", a diplomatic source has said. |
Can you provide an overview of this section? | It was a devastating blow to a country still struggling to recover from another attack on tourists in the heart of its capital just three months earlier.
And it was claimed by Islamic State (IS), whose actions have spread fear throughout the region and beyond.
"We note that Tunisia faces an international movement," Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi said shortly after Friday's attack. "It cannot respond alone to this."
While much remains unclear about the extent and nature of the threat within Tunisia that the events in Sousse may expose, observers have pointed once more to two specific risks.
First, the threat posed by neighbouring Libya, a fractured country with porous borders that has been awash with weapons since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, and where Islamic State now has an established presence.
And second, the apparently large number of Tunisians who have left to fight in Syria and Iraq, hundreds of whom are estimated to have returned home.
Other countries in the region also face cross-border threats, and it is hard to get a truly accurate idea of how many Tunisians have been radicalised fighting abroad.
But Tunisia appears to be more exposed than its neighbours to high-impact attacks against foreign civilians.
Neither Libya nor Algeria have mass tourism, and though Morocco does, it also has a pervasive security network and has been politically stable.
Tunisia, by contrast, has a "big, soft underbelly", said Geoff Porter, the head of North Africa Risk Consulting.
"I don't think Tunisia does have a disproportionately greater jihadi problem than Algeria or Morocco," he said. "What Tunisia has is a security problem.
"It's simply that there are a greater number of targets in Tunisia and the security forces are less effective."
Full coverage of the Sousse attack
Before the uprising of 2011, the focus for those security forces was enforcing control under former President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali - a job at which they were long efficient, developing a vast web of informers.
But security reform has been slow, and the challenge may now be for the police to repurpose towards counter-terrorism work, Mr Porter said.
That will be a complex task, partly because of the demands of training and equipping police officers and soldiers, but also because of the democratic political process and the fine line between ensuring security and reverting to repression.
In a cruel twist, some contend that Tunisia has been targeted partly because it has achieved a democratic transition and is often held up as the single success story of the Arab Spring.
Its progress as a modern democratic state on friendly terms with the West, if halting, is unwelcome to the militants of Islamic State and other extremist groups.
Over the last four years, Tunisian governments are seen to have vacillated between granting radical Islamists political space and cracking down on them - only taking the latter course more decisively after the assassination of Chokri Belaid in February 2013.
A new Tunisian anti-terrorism law that would broaden police powers and provide for harsher penalties has been stuck in committees since the start of 2014.
The attack in March on the Bardo Museum - next to the parliament building - focused attention on the bill, but shortly after it was redrafted, 13 non-governmental organisations called for it to be dropped or amended, saying it would violate international human rights standards and guarantees under the Tunisian constitution.
The president of the Tunisian parliament now says it will be approved within the next month.
Then there are the broader internal challenges.
The Tunisian economy has become more fragile since 2011, and like other states in the region, the country has a large pool of unemployed or underemployed young men who may be susceptible to radicalisation.
As Sayida Ounissi, a Tunisian member of parliament from the Islamist Ennahda party, told the BBC: "What we are seeing today is terrorism is actually nourishing itself from social exclusion, from economic injustice, from the lack of education."
In the short term, the number of potential recruits is only likely to grow as the tourist sector - which accounted for about 15% of GDP last year - takes another big hit. | The attack that killed 38 people in the resort city of Sousse has left Tunisia looking particularly vulnerable. |

He was attacked from behind and forced to the ground before his mobile phone and wallet were stolen.

United spent just over £150m in the last window, including a club record £59.7m on winger Angel Di Maria.
They are currently seventh in the Premier League table.
"We are not looking to enter the market for short-term fixes," said Woodward, speaking on the day United posted a 9.9% fall in revenue to £88.7m for the three months to the end of September, which reflected "absence from the Champions League".
"However, we have targets we are looking at for next summer.
"Should any of them become available in January, which is obviously rare, we will consider acting. But it is a low probability."
During the summer transfer window, United also bought Ander Herrera (£28m), Luke Shaw (£27m), Marcos Rojo (£16m) and Daley Blind (£13.8m), as well as spending £6m to bring in Radamel Falcao on loan.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Fred Morrad, 83, lived in Luton during the war, where his father was an aircraft inspector at the Percival Aircraft Company, based at the airport.
On 30 August 1940 at 16:50 BST, 51 bombs fell on the Vauxhall factory in about one minute, killing 39 people.
Mr Morrad recalled how a friend's father died in the attack.
"My school friend Barry Pitkin lived about 300 yards along the road from me. His father worked at Vauxhall Motors which had been bombed. His father didn't come home," said Mr Morrad.
"It was during the school holidays, so when we went back nobody mentioned Barry's father's death. Young children then grew up very quickly."
Recalling the night of the attack, he said: "My mother and I, as we looked up, could see a formation of about 12 planes high in the sky. I suppose they were about two miles away, and 10,000ft or so up in the sky. I climbed on the coal bunker to watch.
"The aeroplanes kept steadily on although I remember one plane coming down as there were some fighters around them.
"When my father came across he told us he had been coming out of one of the hangars as a stick of bombs was dropped across the airfield close to him. He was blown back into the hangar by the blast."
Vauxhall archivist Andrew Duerden said: "The victims were aged between 15 and 71, including one woman, and 50 more were injured.
"The main area hit was the gasometer, which contained gas used in the heat treatment. Although the factory was back up and running in six days - the gasometer was out of action for weeks.
"Although Vauxhall was secondary to the Luftwaffe, if anything it was the other way round - the factory was very important to the war effort, building Bedford trucks, Churchill tanks and also did some fairly high engineering including development work on Sir Frank Whittle's jet engines."
The measure by Environment Secretary Lesley Griffiths is in line with similar orders in England and Scotland.
Cases of H5N8 have been found in countries across Europe including France, Germany and the Netherlands.
None have been reported in the UK and the measures are precautionary.
The prevention zone means keepers must either keep their birds indoors or take steps to keep them separate from wild birds.
Margaret Davies, a turkey farmer at Cuckoo Mill Farm in Haverfordwest, said she was "naturally concerned" about the outbreak in Europe.
"It's got the possibility of affecting business, to a point, but you have to wait and see," she added.
She said the advice would not really change the way things were done on the farm, as they only kept turkeys, they were all inside, and the doors were closed to keep out starlings.
Wales' chief veterinary officer Christianne Glossop said: "Poultry keepers are advised to be vigilant for any signs of disease in their birds and any wild birds and seek prompt advice from their vet if they have any concerns.
"Even when birds are kept indoors, a small risk of infection remains so biosecurity should not be compromised.
"Clothing and equipment should be disinfected, the movement of poultry should be reduced and contact between poultry and wild birds should be minimised."
Ladimeji Benson, 27, was attacked in Baddow Road, Chelmsford, Essex, on Tuesday afternoon.

Summarize the provided section. | Chole is a spicy chickpea curry and comes accompanied with a very special kind of fried bread called bhature, and that's where the spectacle comes in.
The dish originated in the proud north Indian state of Punjab, but is now so popular across India that any number of interlopers try and claim it as their own - including Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Himachal Pradesh.
Don't believe them.
Chole bhature is Punjabi through and through: as stout and hearty as the famed warriors the state has produced throughout history.
You'll never forget the first time you see it being made.

The chefs - because proper preparation takes real skill - slap and pound a ball of leavened dough before rolling it into a thin disk or oval shape.
Then they toss it into a great smoking pan of hot oil.
And here's where the magic happens. The bread sizzles and froths angrily for a moment before the bubbles of air trapped within begin to expand.
Then, before your eyes, the bhature inflates like a balloon.
The chef will turn it in the hot oil to ensure the surface is evenly crisp and golden.
Then he (Indian street food is almost exclusively prepared by men) will pop a couple on a plate with a generous scoop of the spicy chickpea stew.
I guarantee you'll burn your fingers in your desperation to tear open the hot bread and scoop up a generous mouthful of curry.
And if chole bhature scores high on spectacle, it also rates very highly for what food scientists call, rather clinically, "mouthfeel".
Mouthfeel is exactly what it sounds like: the way the food feels in your mouth.
Giant food businesses like McDonalds, Nestle and Kraft spend hundreds of millions of dollars making sure the physical and chemical properties of their new food products interact in your mouth to create the most satisfying sensations as you gobble them up.
But the ancient chefs of Punjab did it by instinct: the combination of crisp fatty bread with soft spicy curry makes for a heavenly combination.
By tradition this is a breakfast food - and would last most of us all the way through to supper - but the truth is food this good can be eaten at anytime so you'll see chole bhature chefs working their magic all day long.

The president-elect said he would like to see President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law, also known as Obamacare, repealed and replaced "probably the same day, could be the same hour".
He insisted his administration would have a plan in place as soon as Representative Tom Price, his nominee for Health and Human Services Secretary, is confirmed.

A pro-government news site has said that the 2016 video is a fabrication.
So far there has been no comment from the Egyptian military, which has previously released footage - apparently from the same incident late last year - saying it had eliminated a "dangerous terrorist cell" after a heavy exchange of gunfire.
Human rights group Amnesty International said it had analysed the footage. It showed "cold blooded killings", which it said should be urgently investigated by the Egyptian authorities.
The footage, which emerged on Thursday, was apparently filmed with a mobile phone and has been broadcast on Mekameleen TV, a station that supports the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
It appears to show two detainees being shot at point-blank range by Egyptian soldiers.
One man is already on the ground when he is shot four times. Later, a rifle has appeared by his side.
A younger man, who appears to be unarmed, is blindfolded and briefly interrogated before apparently being shot dead.
Egypt's army has, for years, been carrying out an offensive against Islamist militants in the northern Sinai peninsula, where an affiliate of so-called Islamic State (IS) is active.
However, Najia Bounaim, Amnesty International's campaigns director for North Africa, said there had also been a "disturbing pattern" of apparent extrajudicial executions in the area.
The organisation is also calling for an investigation into the deaths of six men, who were allegedly killed in police custody in North Sinai in January.
Earlier this month, President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi ordered military deployments across Egypt after dozens of people were killed in two blasts targeting Coptic Christians on Palm Sunday.
IS said it was behind the explosions.
Last month, 10 Egyptian soldiers were killed by two roadside bomb blasts during a raid against jihadist militants in the Sinai peninsula, according to military officials.
In February, five soldiers were reportedly killed by a roadside bomb in north Sinai.
President Sisi ordered military and police chiefs "to completely eradicate terrorism in northern Sinai and defeat any attempts to target civilians or to undermine the unity of the national fabric" in response to February's killings. | A video has emerged that allegedly shows Egyptian soldiers shooting dead unarmed detainees in the northern Sinai region, where the military is carrying out an anti-terror offensive. |
Summarize the content provided below. | Addressing supporters at a community centre in Fort Dodge, the New York billionaire gave a 95-minute speech deriding his critics, punctuated with occasional obscenities.
He reserved his harshest words for the retired neurosurgeon who is currently running even with him in many opinion polls - and the Iowans for giving him huge support in the polls.
He said Mr Carson's admission of childhood anger issues revealed an incurable "pathological disease" and compared him to a child molester.
"If you're a child molester, there's no cure," he said. "They can't stop you. Pathological? There's no cure."
He mocked Mr Carson's religious conversion and dismissed the much-publicised story that as a teenager his attempt to stab a relative in the stomach was foiled by a large belt buckle. He displayed his own belt and challenged any members of the audience who had a knife to "try it" on him.
"How stupid are the people of Iowa?" he asked. "How stupid are the people of the country to believe this crap?"
Armstrong Williams, Mr Carson's business manager, told CNN that Mr Carson's response to the attacks was to "pray for him".
"He feels sorry for him because he really likes Mr Trump," he said. "To see him just imploding before our very eyes - it's just sad to watch,"
More fireworks may be in store on Friday, however, as Mr Trump and Mr Carson are scheduled to appear back-to-back late in the day here in Orlando at the Sunshine Summit - a presidential forum hosted by the Florida Republican Party.
It could be a dramatic day from start to finish, in fact, as Florida Senator Marco Rubio leads off the event and is immediately followed by Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
The two candidates traded barbs on Thursday over their record on immigration, with Mr Cruz accusing Mr Rubio of siding with Democrats in the Senate to support amnesty for undocumented workers.
With the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses less than 100 days away, and Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays looming, the Republican presidential contest may be approaching a boiling point.
From here on out, the attacks will grow more pointed and, for some, more desperate.
Candidates have been on the campaign trail for months now, nerves are fraying and time is growing short.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Danielle Marr, 18, was in a science class at Waid Academy in Anstruther, Fife, when her pager sounded in school for the first time.
The teenager, who is in her final year, was called out to Anstruther lifeboat station at 10:40 on Wednesday, where she was joined by fellow volunteers.
They set off to help a 28ft vessel that had suffered mechanical failure.
Another new volunteer, mother-of-two Louise McNicoll, 30, was also involved in the rescue which happened off the coast of Crail.
Danielle said: "I was assisting a junior pupil in a science class when my pager sounded.
"It was a strange feeling as it's the first time I have heard the pager go off in school and the teachers and staff were great to allow me to exit so quickly.
"The shout itself went exactly to plan as we regularly practise towing the all-weather lifeboat with our D class and vice versa, so it wasn't the first time that myself or Louise have worked on this task, but it certainly was a different feeling doing it in a shout scenario."
The teenager has permission to leave class for rescues.
She is following in the footsteps of her older brother Anthony, who has volunteered at the station since Danielle was six.
The two women have volunteered at the lifeboat station for several months.
During the rescue, the volunteers secured a towing line to the boat under the supervision of the coxswain and senior crew before the short journey back to Anstruther harbour.
Ms McNicoll said: "I was getting my son ready for nursery when my pager sounded.
"I had the added extra of dropping my son at my mum's house on the way to the station.
"It was great to see the training we practise put into action and having my first shout alongside Danielle was an added bonus.
"The senior crew assisted us in what we had to do and all in all it was a job well done."
Mendes told a court hearing held behind closed doors in Madrid that he never advised his clients on tax matters, his company Gestifute said in a statement.
The agent, who could be put under official investigation in the case, gave evidence at the hearing into alleged tax evasion by Monaco striker Radamel Falcao, one of his clients.
Falcao, like Mendes, denies wrongdoing.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United striker is accused of failing to declare 5.3m euros (£4.69m) of income earned from image rights between 2012 and 2013 while he played for Atletico Madrid.
Falcao, 31, is alleged to have used a network of shell companies in the British Virgin Islands, Republic of Ireland, Colombia and Panama to avoid taxes on image rights income.
The Colombia international's case is being heard as the Spanish authorities place the tax affairs of footballers under increasing scrutiny, with a number of Mendes' clients being investigated, including Real Madrid team-mates Cristiano Ronaldo and Fabio Coentrao, who have also denied committing any offences.
Judge Monica Gomez Ferrer, who is hearing the evidence relating to Falcao, is also overseeing the case of 32-year-old Portugal captain Ronaldo, and is scheduled to question him on 31 July over allegations he illegally evaded 14.7m euros (£13m) in taxes.
Coentrao, the 29-year-old Portugal international, is accused of having hidden close to 1.3m euros (£1.15m) from the tax authorities.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho, another client of 51-year-old Mendes, has been accused of failing to pay millions of euros in taxes during his time in charge of Real Madrid.
However, Gestifute has said Mourinho, 54, had resolved the situation with the tax authorities.
Angel di Maria, the 29-year-old Paris St-Germain winger who is represented by Mendes, agreed to pay 2m euros (£1.76m) to settle a tax case last week.
Earlier this month, Gestifute made a statement denying that Mendes has done anything wrong.
It read: "Neither Jorge Mendes nor the company he manages, Gestifute, participate in or offer any service linked, directly or indirectly, to financial, fiscal or legal advice to their clients." | A teenage RNLI volunteer had to leave school to help a broken-down boat on her first emergency callout.

Parliament raised no objections to the Paris deal; after the government signed the deal on Thursday, it is now just awaiting deposition at the UN.
The government is set to announce tomorrow that ratification is complete.
It comes in the wake of the election of Donald Trump, who has described climate change as a hoax.
The US President-elect promised to re-instate the coal industry in the US and withdraw from the Paris deal which the US has already ratified.
A government spokesman told BBC News earlier this week that the change in power in the US would not divert the UK from its climate change targets.
The Paris Agreement commits countries to taking action to hold temperature rises to well below 2C above pre-industrial levels - and to try to stabilise emissions at a level which would see a temperature rise of no more than 1.5C
It was put before Parliament for the required 21-day period for scrutiny. That expired with no objections raised by the House of Commons or Lords.
The long-standing climate change sceptic MP Peter Lilley told BBC News that he did not object to the Paris Agreement in Parliament because he didn't notice it.
He said: "If I had noticed it, I might have made an attempt to draw together a group of people to object to it. I suspect we would have had more names than last time (the Climate Change Act was passed with five objections) - but it probably would have been a rather ineffective gesture."
More than 100 countries have already officially signed up to the deal, which came into force earlier this month.
Barry Gardiner, shadow minister for international climate change, said: "This strong signal of the UK's commitment to international co-operation on climate change is even more important following the US election.
"The UK Government must now show their commitment through climate action on the ground.
"We face a 47% shortfall to meet our 2030 climate target."
No minister was available for comment today, but the government insists that targets will be met.
Some 20,000 participants are currently attending UN climate talks in Marrakech, Morocco, where negotiators will be discussing the agreement's detail.

Summarize the provided information. | Sir David Normington said plans to allow ministers to choose people deemed unsuitable by advisers were "worrying".
The former Commissioner for Public Appointments said the role risked being reduced to that of a "bystander".
Cabinet Office minister Matt Hancock said appointments had to be speeded up and ministers fully engaged.
Officials said changes stemming from a review by the businessman Sir Gerry Grimstone would strengthen current procedures and that transparency and accountability would remain "key elements".
It comes amid reports of increasing intervention by ministers over appointments to key positions, including on behalf of those with links to the Conservative Party.
Sir David, who retired from the role of Commissioner last week after five years, told MPs that the current system allowed departmental ministers to choose their preferred candidate from a selection of people judged "appointable" by an advisory panel.
However, the former permanent secretary at the Home Office said the government was considering allowing ministers to ignore the panels' recommendations and choose candidates from "below the line".
Ministers would also, he said, be able to appoint without an open competition without first seeking the approval of the Commissioner.
"I am absolutely clear that these are ministerial appointments and ministers must choose," he told the Commons Public Administration Committee. "There is absolutely no question about this."
But he said he was worried that the "good intentions and principles" espoused by ministers about ensuring appointment on merit and robust safeguards were not being "carried through" in the government's proposals.
"It looks like there is an intention to allow ministers to say 'well I know the committee did not approve that person but actually we think they ought to be appointed'.
"I am not quite sure about the practicalities of that. I don't think I would want to be someone who the panel had said was not suitable and the minister then appointed. That looks a very difficult proposition."
He said the proposed changes, in the round, looked "like a very big shift in the direction of ministers".
"The thing that worries me is that it dismantles the current system. I am very concerned about it. I almost never speak out publicly on these matters but I am very concerned about this."
Sir David is due to be succeeded in the role by Peter Riddell, a former political journalist who has been head of the Institute for Government.
Asked about how the role - which was created in 1995 - may change in future in light of the government's proposed changes, Sir David said. "I am a little fearful about what may happen here. I have tried in my role to head things off before they get out of hand.
"I think what may happen here is the appointment is made and the commissioner has no option to pop up and say the appointment is not acceptable."
Activist websites such as ConservativeHome have been urging Conservative supporters to apply for key public appointments, arguing Whitehall has been dominated for the past two decades by those with a New Labour background and outlook on the role of the state.
The government has said political activity should not be a bar to being considered for public appointments but candidates would be expected to be open about "significant" levels of party involvement or support.
Sir Gerry Grimstone, the chair of Standard Life, told MPs that ministers were sovereign but "appropriate constraints" on their behaviour were written into the rules - which he said were designed to secure the best and most diverse appointments.
"I have given the Commissioner very strong powers of intervention," he said.
Mr Hancock. who has ministerial responsibility for the civil service, said the current system of public appointments was "much too bureaucratic, unclear and too slow", with "good people being put off" as a result.
"We need to improve the system because my ultimate goal is to get the very best people we can," he told MPs
He said the Commissioner's role, as it was originally envisaged, was as a "regulator and auditor of the process not someone actually running the process" and the Grimstone review had clarified this.
The Cabinet Office has said ministers must be free to reject advice from their advisory panels on the merit of candidates.
In such cases, the recruitment process would either by re-run with a new panel or ministers would be able to choose someone themselves as long as they "explain their decision publicly".
The proposed changes will be incorporated in a governance code, setting out the new public appointment principles. | Ministers are seeking to "dismantle" the existing system for making senior appointments to public bodies, a former top civil servant has claimed. |

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Both men may be in the form of their life but the Rugby Football Union's current selection policy means the France-based pair are currently ineligible to represent the national team, bar "exceptional circumstances" which were not met.
BBC Sport looks at the issue which is dividing opinion in England and beyond.
The policy was formalised by the Rugby Football Union in 2010 and came into effect after the 2011 World Cup.
There are two main reasons for it:
- to protect the quality of the English league by ensuring the best English players play in it
- to give the RFU more control and better access to current England or potential England players.
The Welsh Rugby Union, for example, selects players who play their rugby abroad, but have had problems accessing those at clubs in France and England.
On the whole, the policy has achieved its aim, with the vast majority of English players having opted for international honours over better wages in places like France.
But prop Andrew Sheridan in effect ended his 40-cap England career by deciding to join French side Toulon in 2012, while fly-half Toby Flood did likewise when moving to Toulouse last summer.
Back rower James Haskell put his England career on hold to play for clubs in New Zealand and Japan, but the policy didn't impact on the international career of former Toulon fly-half Jonny Wilkinson, who retired from international duty following the 2011 World Cup.
Clubs in the English Premiership, for a start.
"You want English players playing in the Premiership," says Leicester Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill. "If you take that away and allow players to go anywhere in the world and still get picked for England, then I think it would be hugely damaging to the Premiership."
Welshman Dai Young, now boss of Premiership side Wasps, agrees.
"England's stance is by far the best," he says. "They should stick to it, otherwise you will see the quality of the Premiership dwindle."
He also argues it is harder to monitor a player's fitness, condition and welfare if they move abroad.
World-Cup winning full-back Iain Balshaw cannot understand why England do not want to be able to pick 2014 European player of the year Armitage, who plays for Toulon, and his successor Abendanon, who represents Clermont Auvergne, if they so desire.
"We have to do everything we possibly can to give ourselves the best chance of winning the World Cup," says Balshaw, who played for Biarritz for five years and still lives in France.
"It's not as though these guys - Armitage and Abendanon - are playing for mediocre teams. They are playing for the two best teams in Europe. They are training - week in, week out - with some of the best players in the world."
Former England prop David Flatman agrees that a move to France can improve a player and says the current selection policy could put the RFU into a difficult hole.
"Say, for example, you have a young loose-head prop, like Northampton's Alex Waller. He's not quite getting the nod for England. What if he goes to play for Toulon and plays with former New Zealand prop Carl Hayman and gets better and better and better? What happens then?"
After Australia recently relaxed their eligibility criteria, England and New Zealand are now the only two major nations to pick only home-based players.
Wales select players based overseas but have been heavily criticised for their stance.
With the regional teams in Wales struggling financially over the past few seasons, a number of key players, such as Jamie Roberts, Leigh Halfpenny, Jonathan Davies, George North and Dan Lydiate, have all moved abroad knowing they could continue playing for the national side.
That exodus has weakened the Welsh domestic game even further.
Interestingly, Wales head coach Warren Gatland, a New Zealander, says he wouldn't pick French-based players if he were in charge of England.
He claims he wouldn't need to given the player resources available to the English.
It will be "hugely damaging", according to Leicester boss Cockerill.
"You could go out and play in Japan in the first part of the season and come and play the Six Nations in England and double your money," he says.
Flatman, on the other hand, thinks scrapping the selection policy would be a positive step for English rugby.
He certainly does not believe it would lead to a mass exodus of English players to France.
"We are flattering ourselves to think the French clubs are clamouring for English players," he says.
Interestingly, he suggests that if more English players become available on the open market, French clubs may not have to pay as much in wages because there will be more choice.
He also reckons players leaving for France would open up opportunities back home for others, like Jamie Gibson and Anthony Watson, who replaced Armitage and Abendanon at London Irish and Bath respectively.
"There are arguments both ways and pros for pretty much every con," says Flatman. | When England head coach Stuart Lancaster named his World Cup training squad earlier this month, European player of the year Nick Abendanon and his predecessor Steffon Armitage were not included. |
What is the summary of the following article? | Nick Timothy, Theresa's May ex-chief of staff, told the Spectator he had wanted to run a less presidential campaign and involve ministers more but external "consultants" had advised against it.
Big ideas championed by the prime minister when she had first taken power had been underplayed, he said.
One Tory MP has called for the party to be renamed after the election result.
Robert Halfon told the BBC his party faced years in the "wilderness" unless it broadened its appeal to working people.
The Conservative inquest into Theresa May's failure to win an overall majority is continuing, with senior figures saying the party must learn hard lessons.
Mr Timothy and his colleague Fiona Hill were blamed by many for what was widely regarded as a poor campaign and both resigned in the wake of the result.
The Conservatives framed the election as a straight choice between Theresa May's "strong and stable" leadership and Jeremy Corbyn's "coalition of chaos".
Cabinet ministers such as Chancellor Philip Hammond and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson were rarely heard from.
In an article for the Spectator entitled "where we went wrong", Mr Timothy acknowledged the party had not got its message across properly and there had been too much emphasis on the prime minister at the expense of others in the party.
"Because this election failed to produce the majority we needed, it is impossible to call the campaign anything but a failure," he wrote.
"Theresa, never comfortable hogging the limelight, expected to make more use of her ministerial team.
"On the advice of the campaign consultants, and following opinion research that showed Theresa to be far more popular than the party or her colleagues, we eschewed our instincts. We were wrong to do so."
He suggested the themes that Mrs May had set out when she became prime minister, such as a greater role for the state to boost economic opportunities, intervention in dysfunctional markets and reforms to make the UK a "great meritocracy", had not been fully articulated.
But he warned that there were no easy answers to the challenges facing the UK, warning the current policy of funding social care primarily through general taxation - which the manifesto proposed changing - was "unsustainable" and "socially unjust" on younger people.
"One of the criticisms is that, instead of offering voters giveaways and bribes, we spelt out where cuts would fall. While I accept that the manifesto might have been too ambitious, I worry that the implication of this argument is that politicians should not be straight with the electorate."
He added: "I fear the election will cause many to conclude that we should return to the modern consensus politics of pure social and economic liberalism, which I believe is one of the causes of the division we see in Britain today."
The Tories lost their majority despite getting their biggest vote share since 1983. Theresa May remains in office as prime minister but will be reliant on the votes of the Democratic Unionists to keep her in power.
Writing in the Sun, Mr Halfon said the party had now failed to win a "big" majority for 30 years and radical changes were needed.
Mr Halfon, who was sacked in a post-election reshuffle, said they should change their name to the Workers Party or Conservative Workers Party and the party should develop a campaigning arm along the lines of Momentum or Vote Leave.
The MP for Harlow said the Tories faced a rejuvenated Labour Party with a campaign infrastructure his party "could only dream of" and a "noble and powerful message" about transforming the lives of the poor.
In contrast, he said, the Conservatives' core message of aspiration and opportunity had been "lost" during a campaign in which they had allowed themselves to be painted as the "party of austerity".
"Historically the public are wary about giving the Conservatives a big majority because they fear we will revert to the stereotype of not being on the side of ordinary working people, white van man and women," he wrote.
"Much of what we said - and failed to say - in the election - compounded that fear.
"Action to reshape the party's image and its heart is now vital."
He suggested the party changed its name to the Workers Party or Conservative Workers Party and sell itself as the party "of the ladder - the party has to explain on the tin just what it does".
He told BBC Newsnight "It can't just be a rebranding, it can't just be a slogan. The prime minister said we were the workers' party, at the party conference.
"But we've got to make it mean something.
"And I think that we have to actually build our policies based on five pillars - we should be a real modern trade union movement for the British people - five pillars of workers' rights, workers' jobs and skills, workers' wages, workers' welfare and workers' services." | One of the architects of the Conservatives' election campaign has described it a "failure". |
Summarize the information given below. | Khadija Shah, 25, was taken into custody in May after heroin with a UK street value of about £3.2m was found in several suitcases she was carrying.
Her lawyers say Miss Shah's two-month-old daughter Malaika could suffer from unsanitary conditions in jail.
Jail officials have previously said Ms Shah was being treated well.
Miss Shah's lawyer Shahzad Akbar said Malaika had received no immunisations since she was born and said measles and tuberculosis had been detected in the maximum security prison.
He said the baby had been suffering from diarrhoea and had been treated with painkillers that were unsuitable for a baby.
Mr Akbar said: "We are very much afraid she could die."
The court in Rawalpindi heard that Miss Shah, who was heavily pregnant when she was arrested, was accused of trying to smuggle 63kg of heroin from Pakistan to the UK.
If convicted, she could face the death penalty.
Miss Shah argues she was carrying the cases, which the drugs were found in, for someone else and did not know what was in them.
The visitors had to come from behind to earn the victory, after Morgyn Neill opened the scoring in fifth minute.
Livingston were aided by Scott Robertson scoring an own goal to equalise, and they then took the lead through Dale Carrick.
Scott Agnew levelled the scores again, only for Nikolay Todorov and Scott Robinson to secure the win.
The three points leaves Livingston four points clear of Partick Thistle, who have one game left to play.
Partick Thistle won the other Group H fixture, earning a 2-1 victory away to Airdrieonians. Kris Doolan and Blair Spittal put the visitors in front, with Dean Cairns pulling back a consolation goal for the League One side.
The Premiership side are guaranteed to finish runners-up, though, because they are four points clear of Airdrie ahead of the last round of games this weekend.
In Group G, Albion Rovers and Hamilton remain level on six points at the top following a 4-4 draw at Cliftonhill.
Alan Trouten was the leading figure for the home side, scoring a hat-trick that included the game's opening goal and two equalisers.
Premiership side Hamilton thought they had done enough to win the game thanks to goals from Massimo Donati, a Shaun Want double and a Rakish Bingham penalty, but Rovers equalised in time added on through Ross Davidson.
And the home side added the bonus point to their night's work after winning the penalty shoot out 4-2.
In the group's other match, East Kilbride defeated Stenhousemuir 2-1, to leave the latter side bottom. Sean Winter scored the two goals, either side of a Jamie Longworth effort, to secure the win.
The 43-year-old replaces Alan Kernaghan, who departs the Bees along with first-team coach Peter Farrell.
Former Everton and Rangers defender Weir was sacked by the Blades in October after just 13 games in charge.
"There will be an undoubted benefit for the staff and players to have someone of David's quality here with us," Brentford manager Mark Warburton said.
Weir, who also had spells at Falkirk and Hearts and won 69 caps for Scotland during his playing days, was previously on the coaching staff at Everton before his short spell at Bramall Lane.
"He had an outstanding playing career, working under some great coaches, and has a wealth of coaching experience," Warburton added.
"In conversations with David, he recognises the progress that has been made at Brentford and is excited to join us."
Warburton, who was appointed Brentford manager last week after Uwe Rosler left Griffin Park to take charge at Wigan, says it is essential he puts his "own fingerprint" on the squad and coaching staff.
Farrell arrived in west London in the summer of 2011 when Rosler was appointed while Alan Kernaghan joined the League One club February 2012.
"I need to introduce people I have a close working relationship with to help take the club to the next level," Warburton told the club website.
"Peter and Alan have worked tirelessly over the past two seasons and have made an essential contribution to taking the club forward.
"I would like to thank Peter and Alan for their contribution and wish them all the best for their future careers." | A Birmingham woman arrested in Pakistan on suspicion of trying to smuggle heroin has appeared in court holding her baby, who is also in jail with her.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | Mr Obama was joined at Arlington National Cemetery by former President Bill Clinton.
The 50th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination is on Friday.
Earlier, Mr Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest US civilian honour, to Mr Clinton and other prominent Americans.
Among this year's recipients were entertainer Oprah Winfrey, late astronaut Sally Ride and feminist Gloria Steinem.
Kennedy established a modern version of the awards but did not live to present the first medals.
Members of Kennedy's family stood by Mr Obama, Mr Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as a trumpet player performed Taps, the traditional US military mourning song, at the Kennedy grave.
Mr Obama made no public comments.
"Today, we salute fierce competitors who became true champions," the US president said earlier at the White House, speaking about each recipient of the medal before their official commendations.
He thanked Mr Clinton for "the advice and counsel that you've offered me, on and off the golf course. And most importantly, for your lifesaving work around the world, which represents what's the very best in America."
A recent political book reported that Mr Obama had gone to play a game of golf with Mr Clinton during the 2012 election campaign, but left the course early, supposedly saying he could only tolerate his fellow Democrat "in doses".
At Wednesday's ceremony, Mr Obama said Sally Ride - who became the first American woman in space in 1983 and died last year of pancreatic cancer - had served as a role model for his own children.
"Today our daughters, including Malia and Sasha, can set their sights a little bit higher because Sally Ride showed them the way," Mr Obama said.
The medals for Ride as well as civil rights activist Bayard Rustin and Senator Daniel Inouye, the first Japanese-American to serve in Congress, were awarded posthumously.

The instrument was donated to St Curig's Church in Porthkerry, Vale of Glamorgan, in 1920 as a memorial for local soldiers who died in the conflict.
But during recent repairs a Royal Flying Corps (RFC) insignia was discovered inside.
The Reverend Melanie Price said: "We were very excited about our discovery."
Carpenters working on the renovation found wood inside the organ which had been taken from a fallen biplane.
"When they opened up the organ they found one of the target roundels that you find on RAF planes," Ms Price added.
She said the village "would love to know more" about the organ's construction.
One theory is that the plane crashed during World War One, before the Corps became the Royal Air Force.
Worshippers at the 13th Century church believe the plane came from a nearby airfield, but records show no airport was built in the town until 1942.
The only military airfields in Wales in the 1920s were set up 100 miles (160km) away in Pembrokeshire and 200 miles (320km) away on Anglesey.
The Royal Flying Corps was the airborne arm of the British Army from 1912-18, before it merged with the Royal Naval Air Service to create the Royal Air Force. | President Barack Obama has laid a wreath at the grave of John F Kennedy as part of a day of events honouring the assassinated president.

Wealden District Council leader Bob Standley said she was disqualified as a member after not attending a meeting for six months.
Ms Dashwood-Morris has not yet commented to the BBC.
Mr Standley said: "The rules are quite clear - if a member does not turn up to a meeting for six months then they're automatically disqualified."
He added: "When Barby Dashwood-Morris pleaded guilty to the charges, I would have preferred her to resign, but she didn't."
The council boss said Ms Dashwood-Morris was warned about her attendance, but said he understood she decided not to attend during the trial.
"While that was going on she decided not to engage in activities and that was the consequence. What was in her mind I can't speak for," he said.
During the court case, magistrates heard changes made to her 600-year-old Hellingly home, which included knocking down a wall and installing windows, were discovered when she tried to sell it.
At the time, she was chairman of Wealden's planning committee.
In a statement, Ms Dashwood-Morris told the court she and her former partner, Alan Proudfoot, who also admitted breaching planning law and was fined, "strongly believed" the work did not require authorisation.

Firth was 2.28 seconds ahead of Dutch woman Marlou Van der Kulk as she repeated her London 2012 triumph.
The Northern Irishwoman's British team-mate Jessica-Jane Applegate won bronze.
"It feels amazing. I'm just so happy," said Firth after her triumph.
"I've had a lot of setbacks in the last four years, breaking my wrist. I'm so glad to have retained my title."
Firth will be back in action on Sunday in another of her strongest events, the 200m freestyle, while she will also compete in the 100m breaststroke and 200m individual medley later in the Games.
As a 16-year-old, Firth clinched gold for Ireland in London and went on to win three silver medals at the IPC World Championships in Montreal a year later before opting to switch allegiance to Great Britain.
She subsequently had to sit out the 2015 World Championship after suffering the wrist injury.
The Northern Irishwoman competes in the S14 classes, for competitors with an intellectual disability, and she raced in eight events at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Critics have argued the deal could mean 15% pay cuts for doctors, with "normal hours" re-classed as being from 07:00 to 22:00 from Monday to Saturday.
It means extra payments for unsociable working will only be given outside of these times, rather than for work outside the current arrangements of 07:00 to 19:00 Monday to Friday.
The government has described the current contracts as "outdated" and "unfair", pointing out they were introduced in the 1990s.
Ministers drew up plans to change the contract in 2012 but talks broke down last year.
The government has indicated it will impose the new contract in England next year.
Scotland and Wales have said they do not want to introduce the changes, while Northern Ireland has yet to make a decision.
BMA junior doctors leader, Dr Johann Malawana, said the decision to ballot members had not been "taken lightly".

The latter took part in operations at Gallipoli in 1915 while the HMS Ramsey sank in 1915 while serving with the Royal Navy.
A spokesman said: "The Master Frank RY95 is the Isle of Man's longest-surviving half-decker still afloat and was built in 1893 or 1895".
The miniature cover sheet is being launched on 1 May.
A 1:1 scale model was released from an altitude of 3km by a helicopter, and then descended to a splashdown in the Mediterranean on a parachute.
The IXV is a project of the European Space Agency that aims to develop an autonomous atmospheric re-entry system.
A flight model will be launched on a Vega rocket next year and will have to descend from an altitude of 420km.
The ultimate goal is to develop a vehicle not dissimilar to the American mini spy shuttle called the X-37B, which operates robotically in orbit for a period of time before making an automated return to a runway.
Europe's version will be developed under the name of Pride.
"X-37B is a big vehicle launched on an Atlas rocket, while Pride will be launched on a smaller rocket. It should be a much cheaper mission," explained Roberto Provera from Thales Alenia Space (Tas), the French-Italian company that will lead the project industrially.
"The idea of the two vehicles is very similar, but the size and the costs of the projects are very different," he told reporters here at the Paris Air Show.
IXV (Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle) is the initial step towards Pride. This car-sized, two-tonne spacecraft will launch from French Guiana in South America in August 2014. It will fly an arc reaching 420km above the Earth before coming down to a splashdown zone in the Pacific.
IXV is a lifting body; it has far more manoeuvrability than a standard cone-shaped, re-entry capsule. It has flaps and thrusters to control its descent trajectory. A ceramic heatshield on its underside will prevent the vehicle from burning up.
Its suite of sensors should give European engineers new insights into how objects fall back through the atmosphere and provide them with the data they need to design the next generation of space vehicles.
"We are one year away from launch and Wednesday's drop test at the Salto di Quirra Inter-force Test Range in Sardinia was important to validate this part of the chain," said Mr Provera.
The flight model should be delivered to the European Space Agency (Esa) in May of next year.
Esa member states approved Pride (Programme for Reusable In-orbit Demonstrator in Europe) at their recent ministerial council in Naples, and the agency has just sent Thales Alenia Space a request for quotation (RFQ).
The company will have to detail its initial design thoughts and the likely cost for the project, which has an envelope of about 400m euros.
The Pride vehicle will have to be compatible with the small Vega rocket, also. This means Pride must stay within 5m in length and have a maximum mass no greater than about 1,900kg.
"Pride represents the next step after IXV. You see the shape - it has wings. The mission envisages several orbits, not just an arc over the globe. And it will land on an airstrip," said Mr Provera.
Pride would fly no earlier than 2018.

Regulator Monitor said it was looking into the trust's "financial problems" as "it may indicate wider issues with how the trust is run".
Cambridge University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said it was working closely with Monitor.
Monitor managing director Stephen Hay said the investigation was launched "over financial concerns" and would include "how the trust handled the introduction of a major new IT system".
The trust said it had a predicted deficit, but it was "doing everything possible to improve our financial position, whilst ensuring safe care for our patients".

Iowa State Representative Bobby Kauffman, a Republican, has proposed legislation targeting "post-election campus hysteria".
Carol Off, host of the programme As it Happens, asked him to give some examples of where this was happening.
Instead, Mr Kauffman hung up the phone.
The bill would cut funding to Iowa universities that spend tax dollars on grief counselling for students upset about the election.
Mr Kauffman told the Des Moines Register that offending schools would receive a budget cut equal to twice the amount they spent on the services.
"I find this whole hysteria to be incredibly annoying. People have the right to be hysterical … on their own time," he told the newspaper.
The bill, which he nicknamed "suck it up, buttercup," has received widespread media attention.
It would also create new criminal penalties for protestors who shut down state highways.
According to transcripts provided by the Canadian Broadcasting Company, which produces As it Happens, Ms Off's interview with Mr Kauffman started off smoothly, but quickly derailed when Mr Kauffman complained about some schools "coddling" students by bringing in therapy ponies.
Ms Off asked Mr Kauffman to specify which schools were bringing in therapy ponies, but he declined to say.
"My job is to be finding this out. I'm not prepared to name names right now. I'm doing an investigation," Mr Kauffman said.
"I'm not asking you to name names - just where did it happen?" Ms Off asked in a follow-up question.
Instead of answering, Kauffman hung up, ending the interview.
"Maybe I should have been a little less blunt, but it just got under my skin," he told the Register, adding that he had as many as 80 interviews that day and that he told producers beforehand he wouldn't name schools.

Give a brief summary of the following article. | The twins, born in December, were fused at the liver and chest.
Swiss media say doctors had originally planned to separate them when they were several months old but brought the operation forward when they each suffered a life-threatening condition.
The operation reportedly carried a 1% chance of success.
The twins, named Lydia and Maya, were born eight weeks premature at the Inselspital hospital in Bern, along with a triplet who was fully separate and healthy.
The hospital said the twins were "extensively conjoined on the liver, but had all vital organs".
They weighed just 2.2kg (4lb 14oz) together. One of the twins had too much blood, and very high blood pressure, while the other one did not have enough.
A 13-strong medical team took five hours to separate the girls on 10 December.
"Such small conjoined siblings had never been successfully separated before," the hospital said.
The head of paediatric surgery, Steffen Berger, paid tribute to the medical staff, saying: "The perfect teamwork of physicians and nursing personnel from various disciplines were the key to success here. We are very happy that the children and parents are faring so well now."

Please summarize the following text. | On the day when Jeremy Corbyn won the leadership for the first time, Len McCluskey was the first person to wrestle the new leader into an awkward bear hug on the small stage in the Westminster pub where his team celebrated his victory.
When Mr Corbyn has hit trouble, Mr McCluskey - the bruisers' bruiser - has been on hand to buttress Mr Corbyn's support, or even to warn off his critics.
But now, enters the contender who will take the Liverpudlian on. Gerard Coyne, the West Midlands secretary of Unite, will announce later on Tuesday that he will fight his boss for the chance of capturing the crown.
Mr Coyne has worked for the union for more than 20 years, having joined as a shop worker at Sainsbury's.
One of his supporters said he felt the union must return to putting its members' interests ahead of party politics. Mr Coyne is understood to be concerned about Mr Corbyn's anti-Trident stance, given that thousands of Unite members work in the defence industry, as well as worried about workers in the auto industry after reports suggested that the Labour leader was considering advocating a ban on petrol cars.
But it won't just be a fight between the two men. Many of Mr Corbyn's supporters will see the challenge as another attempt to undermine the Labour leader.
On the other side, many Labour MPs will see the chance of shifting Mr McCluskey as a way of changing the party's troubled dynamics.
It will ultimately be up to more than a million Unite members to have their say in the spring. But far from being an obscure exercise in ticking boxes on a ballot, it will be the next skirmish, a proxy for the battle over Labour's future.
After resuming on 213-6 in their second innings, still trailing Kent by 27 runs, the visitors added seven before Matt Coles removed Ben Cox (39).
Darren Stevens (3-31) then cleaned up the tail as Worcestershire were all out for 251, leaving Kent 12 runs to win.
Daniel Bell-Drummond and Sean Dickson easily guided the hosts to victory.
Kent move to the top of the Division Two table on 147 points, six ahead of Essex, whose match against Sussex is ongoing, and 13 ahead of Worcestershire, who slip to third.
On-loan Kent all-rounder Will Gidman told BBC Radio Kent:
"To get those two second-innings wickets with a slightly older ball just as Worcestershire were forming a decent partnership was really pleasing.
"I got slightly lucky with the first wicket. The lad George Rhodes was playing really well, but he started batting way out of his crease and, when I bowled him a really full one, he ended up yorking himself.
"Then, against Daryl Mitchell, that was one that moved back up the him and hit him full in front.
"I'd have loved to have scored a hundred, but batting at number eight. It's the last thing you're really expecting."
Worcestershire head coach Steve Rhodes told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"Kent played really well. The fact that we were a little under par was mainly due to the fact that Kent played some really good stuff over the four days. On this performance they're becoming a very good side.

Samit Patel (100) and Riki Wessels (85) earlier helped Notts to 382 all out.

Read, who has been with Notts since 1998, is the 26th player in history to reach 1,000 dismissals and the first since Jack Russell in 1997.
Ironically, Read was a youngster at Gloucestershire when Russell passed the milestone.
After starting day three on 138-4 and still 30 runs behind, Patel and Wessels shared a fifth-wicket partnership of 153.
Hutton made 27 and Luke Wood 35 but Notts slipped from 362-7 to 382 all out, as Graham Onions (3-86) and Ryan Pringle (3-93) took three wickets each.
Jake Ball (3-63) took his 50th first-class wicket in the first over of Durham's chase as Jack Burnham shouldered arms to be out for a golden duck.
Mark Stoneman (31), who passed 1,000 Championship runs for the third season in succession, and Scott Borthwick (25) fell to Harry Gurney (2-29) in the space of four balls and then Hutton ripped the heart out of the Durham middle order as the visitors slipped from 58-1 to 71-6.
Read, who went into the game on 998 dismissals, had taken a catch in the first innings and reached the 1,000 landmark when Collingwood edged Hutton behind - his 950th catch to go with 50 stumpings.
Gordon Muchall (36) and debutant Barry McCarthy (38 not out) then held Notts up, but Hutton returned to dismiss Onions for match figures of 10-106.
Durham are now without a win in seven matches, while Notts move only five points behind second-placed Middlesex.
Notts wicketkeeper Chris Read told BBC Radio Nottingham:
"I did chuck the ball a little higher and the reaction of all my team-mates was brilliant.
"They all came and gave me a big hug which was great.
"The guard of honour at the end was a bit emotional, I wasn't expecting that."
Durham captain Paul Collingwood told BBC Newcastle:
"We aren't scoring enough runs, it has been a habit all season.
"Even on this one, which I thought was one of the best cricket pitches you could play on, we were well short.
"I thought Nottinghamshire probably wanted it a little more than us and showed a lot of skill to turn that game around."
BBC Newcastle's Martin Emmerson:
"To think Durham would surrender a 168-run lead takes some believing. Michael Richardson dropping Samit Patel behind the stumps on 33 was the real turning point.
"Worcestershire will be fancying their chances of beating Durham next week and if that happens, the hosts will set an unwanted record of five straight defeats at home.
"The finale to this season can't come quick enough. They need to draw a line under it and look to next year." | Wicketkeeper Chris Read became the first player for 18 years to reach 1,000 first-class dismissals as Nottinghamshire beat Durham by 52 runs. |
Summarize the content of the document below. | That is one of the key findings of the most in-depth research of its kind ever carried out in Northern Ireland.
The study - Mobile Devices in Early Learning - was carried out over two years and involved about 650 pupils in five Belfast primary schools and five nursery schools.
Schools which took part were in some of the most deprived areas of the city.
They were each supplied with sets of iPads for nursery, primary one, primary two and primary three classes.
Researchers from Stranmillis University College then assessed how pupils, parents, principals and teachers used them over the course of two years.
Among their key findings were that:
IPads helped young children to be more motivated and engaged in class, said Dr Colette Gray from Stranmillis, who was one of the study's authors.
"It's not a panacea or the holy grail, but is another method to reach children who might otherwise underachieve," she said.
"For many children it does seem like a playful learning activity. Children, even if working alone, would talk to each others or talk to the teacher.
"There was actually an increase in communication in the classroom, which we didn't initially anticipate."
The five primary schools which received ipads and took part in the study were Black Mountain PS, Donegal Road PS, Gaelscoil na Móna, Holy Trinity PS and Elmgrove PS.
The primary three teacher at Elmgrove PS, Hannah Maxwell, said that using iPads had helped to engage many of her pupils.
"We don't replace pen and paper with the iPad," she said.
"It's all about having a balance between using the iPad and using old school methods.
"They're using different methods and trying different things to learn.
"It does take planning but the benefits are shown at the end of it."
The principal of Elmgrove, Jayne Jeffers, said using iPads had improved many pupils' academic performance.
"We have found that attainment has increased in a lot of areas because the children are more engaged," she said.
"All of the children we have in school now have been born knowing about smartphone technology and mobile technology.
"We have a duty as a school to prepare children for their future and that includes digital learning.
"We have two nursery units and the children are using iPads there right the way up to P7.
"We are situated in inner east Belfast and there would be a lot of deprivation in the local area, but we're trying to give them every advantage we can."

Give a brief overview of this passage. | Conventional economic theory says if unemployment gets low enough, wages will take off - with inflation following close behind.
The general idea is that when labour markets are tight, workers' bargaining power is increased.
Therefore employees can demand wages that beat their expectations for inflation.
Until recently it was painfully obvious that that wasn't happening. The rate of unemployment kept hitting 40-year lows but wages kept sagging.
On Wednesday the wage optimists were given something to cling on to. Unemployment hit 4.4% in the second quarter of the year, the lowest - once again - since the mid-1970s.
But, against expectations, pay rises improved, up by 2.1% (excluding bonuses) compared with a consensus prediction of 2%. Maybe the economic theory was right after all - and pay is now ticking up because labour markets are tight.
It remains, however, a long way short of what would be required to trigger the sort of wage-price spiral about which central bankers have been hyper-vigilant since the 1970s.
That employees are prepared to accept wages that shrink by a tiny bit less than they did the last time these figures came out does not exactly bespeak a dramatic new assertion of workers' bargaining power.
With inflation on the official CPI measure at 2.6%, wages are still shrinking in real terms - by 0.5%. And pay rises averaging 2.1% compares to 2.8% as recently as November last year. Not much ammunition there for the hawks on the Bank of England's monetary policy committee who would like to raise interest rates sooner rather than later.
But it does look like deeper changes in the labour market are afoot. With the weaker pound, it is in theory less worthwhile than it used to be for workers to come to the UK from elsewhere in the EU to earn pounds, sending them home to convert into Polish zlotys or Bulgarian levs.
Is that theoretical prediction coming true? The number of non-UK nationals added to the UK workforce was just 109,000 on the year. In the first quarter it was a much sharper increase - of 207,000. Here too, the economic theory may, eventually, be proved right after all.
He said the former deputy governor made a serious but "honest mistake" and that the Bank would learn from the affair.
But he also warned against an overly punitive approach to misconduct in the banking industry, saying it could leave "senior managers running scared".
Ms Hogg quit earlier in March over a conflict of interest.
She had failed to mention, before her appointment, that her brother was a senior executive at Barclays - a lender regulated by the Bank of England.
In the speech, Mr Carney said: "A series of scandals ranging from mis-selling to manipulation have undermined trust in banking, the financial system, and, to some degree, markets themselves.
He added: "The economic consequences have been enormous. Global banks' misconduct costs have now reached over $320bn (£257m) - capital that could otherwise have supported up to $5tn of lending to households and businesses."
He said the financial system needed "stronger deterrents". However, he also urged more focus on creating a better banking culture.
This included reducing opportunities for bad behaviour and requiring compensation rules "that align better risk and reward".
He also suggested there had been an "excessive reliance" on "punitive" fines of firms who misbehaved.
"We have emphasised measures to ensure firms and their employees take responsibility - individually and collectively - for their own conduct," he said.
On Ms Hogg's appointment, Mr Carney said he had been clear upfront that there should be consequences for both her and the Bank.
However, he called her omission an "honest mistake that was freely and transparently admitted" and "not a firing offence".
He said he respected the Treasury Committee's decision to publish a highly critical report on Ms Hogg, as well as her decision to resign.
But he said the affair illustrated his wider point about regulation.
"We must not let recent events inadvertently tighten perceived standards for the industry because that could have senior managers running scared, drive compliance underground and undermine our collective objectives.
"Another risk, flagged by some, is that it will also become harder to find candidates of sufficient calibre willing to take on senior roles." | For months now, economists have been struggling with what they call the "wages puzzle".

Sarah Rochira wants the Welsh government to ensure "parity of funding" between older and younger students.
Funding for further education has fallen by a further 6% this year.
But a requirement to focus resources on younger students has halved what is left for lifelong learners, CollegesWales says.
Deputy Minister for Skills Julie James told BBC's Sunday Politics programme difficult decisions had to be made but younger people were the future.
Ms Rochira said she has "real concerns that in the years to come we will pay a high price for failing to maintain that investment we need in education and opportunities for lifelong learning".
"I think we need to see a much wider recognition across all government portfolios of the necessity to keep our older people in the workforce and bring them back into work as well," she added.
Ms James said: "We've had some difficult decision to make and I agree that they've been awful decisions but in the end the young people are the future and actually we know that it scars a young person for a long time if they're out of the labour market.
"That's not to say that we don't understand the issue about lifelong learning and I'm working with the Older People's Commissioner to work up a piece of research to see what we can still offer for people who find themselves out of the job market in older years."
Ms Rochira said she wants to see "parity of funding".
"Of course we should focus on young people but we must not leave behind older people and nor can we afford to," she said.
Iestyn Davies, chief executive of CollegesWales, said: "Ultimately the Welsh government has got some difficult decisions to make. Our call is on the assembly as a whole, all parties, to renew their commitment to lifelong learning as par of the DNA of Wales as we face some very tough challenges ahead.
"Learning and skills can't be a once in a lifetime opportunity. It has to be something in the global economy that we commit to as a nation year in year out for all age groups and all levels of society." | Aston Villa have signed Lille midfielder Idrissa Gueye for an undisclosed fee.

Provide a summary of the section below. | The 1.4-mile (2.3km) tunnel, between Bradford and Halifax in West Yorkshire, could be opened for £2.8m, said Queensbury Tunnel Society.
Highways England has said it could cost £35m to make it safe for future use.
The tunnel, last used by trains about 60 years ago, is partly flooded and has collapsed in some places.
More on this story and others from West Yorkshire
Campaigners in the village of Queensbury came up with the cycleway idea to encourage bike use.
It would avoid steep, busy roads and provide a direct link between Bradford and Halifax.
The Queensbury Tunnel Society's report said most of the tunnel was in a fair condition and could be repaired.
It would involve patching small areas, with concrete repairs to bigger patches of missing brickwork, said the report.
Defective brickwork would be replaced open joints re-pointed.
"Queensbury Tunnel has to be made safe, it does not have to be made perfect," it said.
Highways England is responsible for the tunnel as part of the Historical Railways Estate.
It said it was "open to the idea" of transferring the tunnel to another public body to maintain it.
It said a new owner could be offered the £3m estimated cost of closing the tunnel.
"An independent study commissioned by Highways England carried out earlier this year revealed the condition of the tunnel continues to deteriorate and that it would cost an estimated £35m to make it safe for future use," it said.
Work on closing the tunnel would begin next summer if a transfer cannot be agreed, it said. | Converting an abandoned railway tunnel into an underground cycleway could cost a tenth of official estimates, said campaigners. |
Summarize the information in the following section. | The unnamed man was sought by German police after the murder of his girlfriend in Bavaria.
Authorities did not know when she died, but one of the man's tattoos gives her name, Lisa, and date of death - 27 October 2016.
The man was held in Lloret de Mar, in Catalonia, with their 18-month-old son, who was in good health.
The woman's body was found by her mother last week. She was found in a block of flats in the town of Freyung, close to the Czech border.
An initial autopsy showed that the woman had died some three weeks before she was found.
Spain's federal police force said her mobile phone was taken by the killer with the intention of using her social media accounts, thus misleading investigators.
The man, named in Germany as Dominik R, was traced to Spain after he was found to have withdrawn money there. A European arrest warrant was then issued. Spanish police say they believe he was heading to north Africa.

Give a brief summary of the content. | Daniel Sanzone inflicted "catastrophic and irreversible" brain injuries on Joshua Millinson at his home in Wolverhampton in October last year.
The 23-year-old was convicted of murder on Wednesday at Birmingham Crown Court.
The court heard he has since received death threats and his prison cell had been ransacked. Mr Justice Robert Jay said Sanzone was "immature".
Joshua was in intensive care at Birmingham Children's Hospital for nearly a month after the incident before a High Court order was issued to switch off his life support machine.
More updates on this and other stories in Birmingham and the Black Country
The assaults must have caused the baby "considerable distress" and Joshua must have "cried out in pain", Mr Justice Jay said.
Sanzone was unable to accept that his partner, Joshua's mother Zoe Howell, was "no longer able to focus all her attention on you", the judge told him.
Ms Howell was cleared of child cruelty and causing or allowing Joshua's death.
The couple had split up in the days before the shaking incident on 24 October last year.
Speaking after the sentencing, Ms Howell said the sentence was not long enough.
She said: "I've lost my son and I've had to go through all this. People have been slating me for something I didn't do.
"My son was my whole world.
"I can't explain it. I just keep saying to myself I should have done more, but what could I have done?"
The court was told paramedics were called to Whitburn Close in Pendeford where they found Joshua not breathing and "floppy".
Sanzone told Joshua's mother that the "thud" she said she heard from another room was him dropping a remote control.
During the trial, jurors were told Joshua's injuries were some of the most extreme medical experts had seen.
The experts found evidence of previous injuries including a "forcible twisting of bones" from about a week prior to the shaking and rib and leg fractures that may have pre-dated previous hospital visits.

Please summarize the given passage. | Rob Summers, from Oregon, said standing on his own was "the most amazing feeling".
He can voluntarily move his toes, hips, knees and ankles and also walk on a treadmill while being supported, according to research in the Lancet.
However, a UK expert said this should not be interpreted as a cure.
Rob was a keen baseball player and in 2006 was part of the team which won the College World Series.
But in that summer he was injured in a hit and run accident and his spinal cord was damaged.
Messages from the brain, which used to travel down the spinal cord, were blocked and he was paralysed.
Doctors surgically implanted 16 electrodes into his spine.
Rob trained daily in trying to stand, walk and move his legs, while electrical pulses were sent to the spinal cord.
Within days he was able to stand independently and eventually he could control his legs and step, with assistance, for short periods of time.
"None of us believed it," said Professor Reggie Edgerton, from the University of California. "I was afraid to believe it."
In most spinal cord injuries only a small amount of the tissue is damaged so many nerve cells remain.
The researchers say these cells pick up signals from the legs and respond automatically. This is what allows a healthy person to stand still or walk without actively thinking about it and it is this process the doctors were trying to tap into.
But after a spinal injury the cells need help, in this case precise electric stimulation.
It mimics a message from the brain to start moving and changes the "mood" of the spinal cord so that it is able to hear the information which is coming in from the legs and respond. Researchers say this, coupled with intensive training, allowed Rob to stand or walk while supported on a treamill.
The researchers admit to having "no idea" about how the brain was also able to gain direct control of the toes, knee and hips.
They speculate that some nerve cells are being reactivated or maybe more of them are being created allowed signals from the brain to pass down the spinal cord.
Rob has also regained other functions such as bladder, bowel and blood pressure control.
He said it had been a "long journey of countless hours of training" which had "completely changed my life".
He added: "For someone who for four years was unable to even move a toe, to have the freedom and ability to stand on my own is the most amazing feeling."
This study has proved that electrical stimulation works in one person. Four more patients are being lined up to further test the treatment.
Professor Geoffrey Raisman, from the Institute of Neurology at UCL, said: "This one case is interesting, and from one of the leading groups in the world. To what extent this procedure could in the future provide a further and sustained improvement cannot be judged on the basis of one patient.
"From the point of view of people currently suffering from spinal cord injury, future trials of this procedure could add one more approach to getting some benefit. It is not and does not claim to be a cure."
Dr Melissa Andrews, from the Cambridge Centre for Brain Repair, said that while the study was a "little bit mind blowing" people should not say this is a cure.
She added: "I think people need to read this and say the possibility is out there, but it may not come tomorrow. It's the closest we've ever seen and it's the best hope right now."
Professor Susan Harkema, who was part of the study at the University of Louisville, said: "It is really critical to be clear that it's still in a research realm, but stay tuned we're going to learn a lot more every day."
For Rob he sees his story as a message of hope to people who are paralysed and as for walking again: "I see it as a major possibility." | A US man who was paralysed from the chest down after being hit by a car is now able to stand with electrical stimulation of his spinal cord. |
Please summarize the following text. | The man said Stephen Port, 41, told him he had a lubricant but then injected him with a syringe in August 2015, the Old Bailey heard.
A month earlier, Mr Port had twice tried to inject a 35-year-old man with drugs, jurors were told.
The chef denies 29 charges, including four of murder as well as rape, sexual assault and drugging.
Both men told jurors they had gone to Mr Port's flat in Barking for sex.
The 21-year-old said he was in the lounge of the property when Mr Port left and returned holding something he could not fully see. He then felt a "bite" and "physical pain".
"I realised it was a syringe. He was injecting something into me without my consent," he told the court.
After stating that he did not take drugs, Mr Port then allegedly "injected it a second time immediately after I said that".
The man, who cannot be named, said he felt "very dizzy" and that his "brain was not functioning properly". He soon fell unconscious.
When he came round 11 hours later, Mr Port was having sex with him in bed, he told the court.
He tried to resist but fell asleep again, the jury was told.
When he woke again he "couldn't sit up in the bed" but there was further sexual contact when he asked Mr Port "shall we have some fun?"
When asked why he did this, he said: "I don't know. I couldn't make any sound judgement at the time."
Earlier, a 35-year-old man said Mr Port had tried to insert something "plastic" into him.
The defendant had told him it would "feel good in a couple of minutes", but the man, who also cannot be named, said "it didn't feel right," and that he felt a "slight burning" which was "unpleasant".
The man told the court the pair met met via dating app Grindr, and Mr Port sent him two photos purporting to be of himself.
There were no lights on and this obscured the defendant, the court heard.
The man told jurors Mr Port pretended to put the item away but then quickly tried to reinsert it, to which he immediately said "that's it" and got off the bed.
When he turned a light on, he said, Mr Port looked "totally different" from the pictures he had seen on the app.
After asking who he was, he "quickly ran to the front door in case he (Mr Port) tried to stop me. I was panicking," he told jurors.
The trial continues.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | They say this is the first clear evidence of wild chimpanzees developing a new culture.
As the team filmed the animals at a field station in Uganda, they noticed that some of them started to make a new type of leaf sponge - something the animals use to drink.
This new behaviour soon spread throughout the group.
The findings are published in the journal Plos Biology.
Lead researcher Dr Catherine Hobaiter, from the University of St Andrews, explained that chimps make and use folded up "little sponges that they dip into ponds and then suck the water out".
"We were insanely lucky," she told BBC News. "We saw two new versions of this tool use emerge in the chimps [we were watching]."
Dr Hobaiter noticed a dominant male chimp using moss rather than leaves to make his sponge.
Another picked up an old sponge that another chimp had been using and started using that.
"It might sound trivial, but the chimps [we study] just don't do that," she told BBC News.
"And both of these new versions of the tool use started at this water hole that we had amazing filming access at."
As she sat filming and watching the chimps, Dr Hobaiter saw this behaviour spread from individual to individual.
"Basically, if you saw it done, you learned how to do it, and if you didn't you didn't," she said.
"It was just this wonderfully clear example of social learning that no-one had in the wild before.
"We've had that in captivity, we've had indications in the wild, but this was the final little piece of the puzzle."
The team of researchers from Anglia Ruskin University and the University of Neuchatel in Switzerland analysed the video to work out exactly how the new tool developed and spread.
Dr Thibaud Gruber from the University of Neuchatel explained that the fact that the new behaviours were "variants of the old, well-known sponge-making technique" suggested that chimpanzee culture changes "little by little" - building on previously acquired knowledge to improve an existing tool repertoire.
"With respect to humans, our findings strongly support the idea that the last common ancestors of chimps and humans could learn cultural behaviours from each other, in a similar way," he told BBC News.
Dr Susanne Schultz from the University of Manchester said it was not surprising that chimps used this social learning: "We know from captivity that they are more than capable," she said.
"But there are so few studies that can demonstrate its utility in the wild, and for this reason this paper is a big step forward."

The Zika virus has now reached more than 20 countries and territories.
The World Health Organization declared on Monday that it posed an international health emergency requiring a united response.
The infection has been linked to cases of microcephaly, in which babies are born with underdeveloped brains.
Currently, there is no vaccine or medication to stop Zika. The only way to avoid catching it is to avoid getting bitten by the Aedes mosquitoes that transmit the infection.
Tata intended to name its vehicle Zica, short for Zippy Car, but has now decided that the name is too close to that of the virus.
Until now, Tata Motors has been best known for its budget Nano cars, although it also owns the Jaguar and Land Rover brands.

A team of Austrian archaeologists used radar imaging to find the underground outlines of the city in the Nile Delta, a now densely populated area.
The Hyksos were foreign occupiers from Asia who ruled Egypt for a century.
Avaris was their summer capital, near what is now the town of Tal al-Dabaa.
The radar images show the outlines of streets and houses underneath the green farm fields and modern towns in Egypt's Delta.
Egyptian antiquities chief Zahi Hawass said in a statement that the area could be part of Avaris, the summer capital of the Hyksos who ruled Egypt from 1664-1569 BC, during the 15th Dynasty.
"The pictures taken using radar [imaging] show an underground city complete with streets, houses and tombs which gives a general overview of the urban planning of the city," Dr Hawass said in a statement.
Irene Mueller, who heads the Austrian team, said the main purpose of the project had been to determine how far the underground city extended.
"The aim of the geophysical survey was to identify the size of the ancient city and the mission managed to identify a large number of houses and streets and a port inside the city," she said.

Summarize this article briefly. | The number of transactions grew by 12% in the year to the end of June, the highest annual rate since 2008, according to UK Finance.
The value of spending also rose, accelerating to 7.2%.
Lenders face an upcoming deadline to prove to regulators that they are not lending recklessly.
The Bank of England has consistently expressed the need for vigilance over growth in the consumer credit market during "benign" economic conditions, at a time when household income has been relatively stagnant.
The latest round-up of statistics show that 77 million more purchases were made on cards in the second quarter of the year than in the first three months of 2017.
An extra £110m was spent on cards in the second quarter, compared with the first quarter.
Some of that can be explained by the rising cost of living, with the inflation rate having risen over the same period.
On an annual basis, growth in the total value of debit card purchases in the year to the end of June was 7.2%, Low-value contactless payments have reduced the amount spent on each typical transaction, but card use has become much more frequent.
The total value of credit and charge card purchases was up 6.9% annually by the end of June.
There is continuing concern from debt charities about the levels of personal debt and whether this is creating repayment issues ahead.
Peter Tutton, head of policy at StepChange debt charity, said: "With our research estimating 3.2 million people are using credit cards to pay for everyday household expenses, the growing stock of credit card debt should focus attention on households in financial difficulties. The growth in borrowing through credit card cash advances is particularly concerning as this can be an expensive form of borrowing and can be a risk indicator of increasing financial difficulties.
"The Financial Conduct Authority must ensure credit card lenders are acting responsibly, making robust affordability checks and intervening quickly to help people struggling with credit card or multiple credit card debts."
In April, May and June, annual growth in net lending on credit cards - taking spending and repayments into account - was at or above 9%, the UK Finance figures show.
The Bank of England's Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) highlighted various concerns during a review of lending in personal loans, credit cards and car finance. It told lenders to prove by September that they had been acting responsibly.
One issue it raised was the length of 0% credit card balance transfer offers, which have increased sharply in the last five years. The length of these interest-free deals can extend to 43 months, or three-and-a-half years, with the average at nearly 30 months.

Summarize the content of the document below. | A restored print of Sleigh Bells (1928) will have its world premiere at the BFI in London in next month.
The BFI says the re-discovery of the "long-lost" six-minute film in its archive is a "joyful treat".
Other Oswald films survive but Sleigh Bells has been unseen since its original release.
Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was invented by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks for Universal in 1927 before they went on to create Mickey Mouse.
The only surviving print of Sleigh Bells was preserved in the BFI National Archive and was "re-discovered" by a researcher browsing its online catalogue.
The restoration work was carried out by Walt Disney Animation Studios and the new print will be shown at BFI Southbank on 12 December as part of a programme of Disney Christmas shorts.
"What a joyful treat to discover a long-lost Walt Disney film in the BFI National Archive and to be able to show Sleigh Bells to a whole new audience 87 years after it was made," said Robin Baker, head curator at the BFI National Archive.
"The restoration of this film will introduce many audiences to Disney's work in the silent period - it clearly demonstrates the vitality and imagination of his animation at a key point in his early career."
Andrew Millstein, president of Walt Disney Animation Studios, which oversaw the restoration, said the Oswald shorts were an important part of Disney history.

Can you summarize this passage? | Resuming on 141-3, Glamorgan collapsed to 223 all out, only Aneurin Donald (57) offering any real resistance.
Openers Daryl Mitchell and Brett D'Oliveira fell cheaply, but Tom Fell's 15 not out saw the visitors to 28-2.
Glamorgan were beaten in under two-and-a-half days, having failed to last two days in their opener with Northants.
Six ft 5 in paceman Tongue, 19, was making only his second Worcestershire appearance, having taken four wickets in the match in his first-class debut against Oxford MCCU earlier in April.
Glamorgan coach Robert Croft told BBC Wales Sport:
"It is frustrating to everybody. There is a group of players that are very disappointed. As support staff we are, and I am sure every supporter that followers Glamorgan is.
"It is certainly not the start that we envisaged or imagine or hoped for, but it is where we find ourselves. The crucial thing is as a squad, and I include support staff and players in that, is we work our way out of it. And when we work our way out of it we remember how it feels so we don't go back here.
"It is inevitable that confidence gets dented when you have got hurt badly in the first innings in Northampton and the same happened here. We've been very much behind the eight ball from the first session of the game."
Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"I'm really proud of the boys. It was a terrific effort. The toss was important, and we soon had them in trouble in helpful conditions.
"It was so good to see the young players such as Josh Tongue and Tom Kohler- Cadmore perform so well. It bodes well for the remainder of the summer.
"There's more to come from Josh Tongue. He's certainly got some pace in him. We saw that when he hit Donald on the helmet.

Summarize the provided information. | Giovanni Passamonti had denied attacking the woman while she slept on board a yacht at Dunstaffnage Marina, near Oban, in October 2012.
He was found guilty and put on the sex offenders' register.
His lawyers argued on appeal that his trial was prejudiced by references to a "victim" before a verdict was returned.
The woman should have been referred to as the complainer.
Mr Passamonti, 22, of Edinburgh, was originally convicted after a trial last year and ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work.
Sheriff Douglas Small told him at the time it was "an extremely serious offence" which could well have ended up with a custodial sentence.
Judges at the Court of Criminal Appeal on Thursday were told that the Crown was not opposing the appeal against conviction based on two "errors" by the sheriff.
Defence lawyers pointed out the sheriff had directed the jury not to allow sympathy to play a part in their decision-making.
But they maintained that the repeated reference to "the victim" was likely to have led the jury not only to take a sympathetic view of the woman, but also to conclude that an offence had been committed.
The defence also said the sheriff erred in law in failing to give the jury directions over how to deal with a mixed statement - one which partly tends to clear the accused and partly incriminates.

In the video a man believed to be Mr Shekau said the world "should know that he could not die except by the will of Allah".
Other previous reports of his death later proved to be unfounded.
Boko Haram, which is fighting to create an Islamic state across Nigeria, has been blamed for many violent attacks which have killed nearly 2,000 people since 2011.
In the video, the man alleged to be Mr Shekau sits in a jungle environment surrounded by dozens of lieutenants dressed in fatigues.
He makes reference to recent events, such as an attack in Benisheik, Borno state, on 17 September in which at least 142 people are reported to have been killed.
BBC Hausa's Aliyu Tanko says the man's voice sounds like that of Shekau, and the video emerged from a source previously used by the Boko Haram leader.
On 19 August, the Nigerian military said intelligence suggested it might have killed Mr Shekau between 25 July and 3 August.
It claimed a video apparently showing Mr Shekau and circulated to journalists on 12 August was acted by an impostor.
But hundreds of people wrote in to the BBC's Hausa social media pages to express their scepticism at the announcement, which coincided with the Nigerian authorities' launch of a new brigade with special responsibility to tackle Boko Haram.

At 96 he is also one of Vietnam's oldest living people.
He first picked up an instrument, a short-necked moon-shaped lute, when he was just five years old. Music was a great tradition in his wealthy landowning family and he gradually mastered all the traditional Vietnamese instruments.
He was one of the first Vietnamese artists to have their music recorded in 1938 and went on to become a full time music teacher and a custodian of South Vietnam's musical traditions.
"Vietnamese music expresses human emotions. Western music both expresses human feelings but also describes external things. It can imitate the sounds of a storm, a whirlwind, bird song, animals, flowing water," he says.
"Vietnamese music can't do that. Its notation system doesn't permit that. It can only express joy or sorrow."
Even though he is now very elderly Vinh Bao still teaches music, using his computer to coach pupils across the globe.
He is determined to ensure that the musical traditions to which he has dedicated his life continue once he has gone.

Controversy and criticism has surrounded work on the fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).
Critics say the rulebook turns normal behaviour, like grief or childhood temper tantrums, into mental illness.
It is used mainly in the US, but is influential around the world.
This is the first update to the volume since 1994. Experts in mental health have been taking account of the latest scientific developments to update ways of diagnosing mental disorders.
The changes were presented at a meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
There are new categories including binge eating disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (previously known as childhood bipolar disorder) and hoarding disorder.
Meanwhile Asperger's syndrome is one of four previously separate conditions that have now become part of a single condition called autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
ASD now encompasses autism as known previously, Asperger's disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder which has not been specified.
The main symptoms of ASD are deficits in social communication and social interaction and restricted repetitive behaviours, interests, and activities.
The publication will have no effect on how people are diagnosed in the UK and other countries which use guidelines from the World Health Organization.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been modified to emphasise that this disorder can continue into adulthood.
Ahead of the update, Prof Peter Kinderman, head of the Institute of Psychology at the University of Liverpool, argued on the BBC's Scrubbing Up column that: "[DSM-5] will lower many diagnostic thresholds and increase the number of people in the general population seen as having a mental illness."
He said "normal grief" would now be classed as a major depressive disorder and childhood temper tantrums would be a symptom of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
Also: "A wide range of unfortunate human behaviours, the subject of many new year's resolutions, will become mental illnesses - excessive eating will become 'binge eating disorder', and the category of 'behavioural addictions' will widen significantly to include such 'disorders' as 'internet addiction' and 'sex addiction'."
There is also criticism of the way DSM-5 classifies diseases based on symptoms. There are efforts to harness advances in genetics and neuroscience to diagnose people based on the cause rather than the symptoms of the illness.
The director of the US government's National Institute of Mental Health said the DSM had a "lack of validity".
Dr Thomas Insel posted a blog saying: "Unlike our definitions of ischemic heart disease, lymphoma, or Aids, the DSM diagnoses are based on a consensus about clusters of clinical symptoms, not any objective laboratory measure.
"In the rest of medicine, this would be equivalent to creating diagnostic systems based on the nature of chest pain or the quality of fever."
In some areas the distinction between disorders is narrowing. Autism, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder and schizophrenia are all classed as separate disorders based on their symptoms.
However, research published in the Lancet medical journal in February showed all five disorders shared several genetic risk factors.
Dr David Kupfer, the chair of the DSM-5 task force, said: "The changes to the manual will help clinicians more precisely identify mental disorders and improve diagnosis while maintaining the continuity of care.
"We expect these changes to help clinicians better serve patients and to deepen our understanding of these disorders based on new research." | A woman who spent an incredible 75 years as church organist in the Conwy Valley has been recognised in the New Year Honours.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | The most powerful non-nuclear bomb ever used by the US in combat was dropped on an IS base in Nangarhar province.
A network of tunnels and caves was destroyed on Thursday evening local time, US officials said.
The death toll was confirmed to the BBC by Ismail Shinwary, the governor of Achin province within Nangarhar.
IS had earlier said it had not suffered any casualties in the blast.
No civilians were killed in the explosion, Mr Shinwary said. The Chief Executive of Afghanistan, Abdullah Abdullah, said the attack had been carried out in co-ordination with his government and "great care had been taken to avoid civilian harm".
However, one resident close to where the blast happened told the BBC some homes were destroyed. The explosion lit up the whole night sky, he said.
Known as the "mother of all bombs", or MOAB, the device was dropped on Thursday evening by an MC-130 transport plane, falling in Nangarhar's Achin district.
It was the first time the bomb, one of only 15 ever built, had been used in combat.
When IS announced the establishment of its Khorasan branch - an old name for Afghanistan and surrounding areas - in January 2015, it was the first time the group had officially spread outside the Arab world.
"The enemy had created bunkers, tunnels and extensive mine fields, and this weapon was used to reduce those obstacles so that we could continue our offensive in southern Nangarhar," said Gen John Nicholson, the most senior US military commander in Afghanistan.
While the attack was supported by the Afghan government, former president Hamid Karzai said it represented an "inhuman and most brutal misuse of our country as testing ground for new and dangerous weapons".
Mr Shinwary had earlier confirmed to the BBC that Afghan special forces, with the help of American air support, had begun anti-IS operations in the area two weeks ago.
But reports say fighting has intensified in recent days. Last Saturday, an American special forces soldier was killed fighting militants.

Summarize the following excerpt. | The ex-supermodel alleged that they falsely called her a liar after she claimed the comedian sexually assaulted her three decades ago.
Los Angeles County Superior Court ruled Cosby and his former lawyer Martin Singer must give sworn depositions before 25 November.
Cosby's lawyers said they would appeal.
Neither Cosby, 78, nor Dickinson, 60, attended the hearing on Monday.
More than 50 women have accused the comedian of sexual assault. He has never been charged for any of the alleged crimes. In most cases, the alleged incidents date back decades, meaning they fall outside the time limit for legal action.
Reuters said it is the second time in two months that Cosby will be required to testify under oath in response to a complaint of sexual misconduct against him.
Mr Singer, an LA lawyer, represented Cosby until he was replaced last month with a new legal team.

I'll wait for the dust to settle on the bill before commenting on the substance of whether Carwyn Jones is right to talk in such dismissive terms about it.
In a corridor conversation I had with him he said his officials were facing a mountain of work to try to overcome difficulties.
It appears to be hugely complex.
If the constitutional expert from Cardiff University, Richard Wyn Jones, says there's a world of pain ahead in terms of the tensions between Westminster and Cardiff Bay then I'll take him at his word.
For the moment, let me focus on the politics.
The Conservatives appear at times to be bemused by the subject of constitutional reform.
At best, they accuse Labour and Plaid of being out of touch on the issue, and at worst they accuse the first minister of using it as a giant smokescreen to hide failures on the delivery of public services
Now on one level they are right about the public appeal.
Most people will look at you as if you have two heads if you ask them whether they care about the issue of reserved powers.
Although I suspect if you frame the question in a different way, say to a traditional Labour voter for example, about whether they want decisions made in Wales by a Labour administration or by Tory ministers in Westminster then they may engage with you.
And this is where we get into the politics of the matter.
I think it's clear that Carwyn Jones is protesting loudly about the draft Wales Bill because for genuine reasons, but as we approach the assembly election, he may not feel it harms his electoral chances to be perceived as someone who stands up for Wales.
On the flip side, the more he does it the more the Conservatives feel it helps them portray the Welsh Labour leader as a man who doesn't engage on the issues that really matter to people.
I should say there's still much in the bill that politicians in Cardiff and Westminster agree on, such as devolving powers over consent for large energy projects and assembly elections, but barely a word of that was mentioned in the debate.
Constitutional reform is a tough sell all round it seems. | Watching the debate about the draft Wales Bill in the Senedd, the sense of outrage which many AMs clearly felt about the proposed legislation peaked when a number of them spoke about how they believed it reversed the result of the referendum on law making powers in 2011. |

Hennells stole a car from a retired couple who had stopped to use a cash machine and then fled to a nearby pub.
Sgt Jessop said Hennells's Facebook confession had made it easier to secure a guilty plea, which was entered in March.
"The pictures and posts on Facebook helped us confirm what we already knew," said the police officer.
"None of this takes away from the seriousness of the crime or the trauma experienced by the victims."

But "the gender stuff grew over time, as the government I led dealt with the hard issues and got into politically choppy waters", she added.
Mrs May is the UK's second female prime minister, following Margaret Thatcher.
Ms Gillard, who, as Australia's first woman PM, was in power from 2010 to 2013, said female leaders had to labour under the stereotype that they should appear "empathetic and nurturing". If they gained high office, it appeared they "must have given up on the nurturing".
She said Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was "suffering a bit from that" in her race against Republican Donald Trump for the US presidency.
Ms Gillard, who has warned that many women in public life face "almost daily" rape threats, told the audience in London that, while she was in charge of Australia, opponents held up placards bearing the slogan "Ditch the witch".
She offered Mrs May - who took over from David Cameron in July amid the political disruption following the referendum vote for Brexit - advice based on her experience.
She said: "What I actually found was, when I came to the prime ministership in a political crisis moment, my gender wasn't the focus of the reaction.
"Rather the gender stuff grew over time, as the government I led dealt with hard issues and got into politically choppy waters.
"The harder it got, it became more likely that gendered insult would become the political weapon."
Ms Gillard, who, like Mrs May, does not have children, said a typical comment on her during her premiership would have been: "She doesn't have children, so she doesn't understand ordinary people and their lives. She was ruthless in getting to the top, so everything she does is about her political interests."
She criticised Australia's male business leaders for not doing more to speak out against sexism during her time in office.
Ms Gillard, who is a visiting professor at King's College London, said more needed to be done to ensure women could balance family life with a career without suffering a lack of promotion.

Summarize the information in the following section. | A survey of almost 2,500 people by NS&I found that savings success has a direct impact on individual's mood and state of mind.
With more than half of the UK unhappy with their savings and a third worrying about their finances, how you can be realistic with how much you squirrel away every month even if you're on a tight budget?
John Hay retired in June but even though he's on a company pension he's lost two-thirds of his income.
Realising the lifestyle he used to have had come to an end, he came up with a number of strategies to ensure that he's able to put money aside each month for a rainy day - from getting a more fuel efficient car to keeping his own chickens so he saves money on his breakfast.
"It takes a lot of getting used to, I must admit," he says. "Now I've got this mobile I'm thinking about getting rid of the landline because we really don't need two phones.
"Two hours in the morning, two or three hours in the evening we have the heating on. The rest of the time we move quicker or we wear a sweater."
Of course, living on a tight budget can take its toll. When he was in work, he and his wife used to enjoy holidays abroad. Now he says they can't afford them.
"A treat for me is going down to the Oxfam and finding somebody has put in a whole set of pencils and paints so that I can buy them for a few pounds," Mr Hay says. "That's my hobby taken care of."
His money-saving strategy might sound extreme but it's often the simplest changes that can make a big difference.
About two-fifths of Britons collect loose change. If you want to save £50 - the amount NS&I says will make you happier - it'll take just £1.66 a day. That can be as simple as not getting a coffee from a High Street chain.
"We find by making some small changes in your lifestyle you can help put a little bit to one side each month," says Gareth Headon of NS&I. "Crucially, it can help you get into a sense of behaviour and it will help make a difference."
For Jane Simons, of the Money Advice Service, saving money is about making a conscious choice to get a grip on your finances.
She recommends drawing up a realistic budget and then looking for ways to shave off just a small amount to save here and there.
"Do whatever you can to pay down debt," she says. "The next thing is savings, so we would say have some ready money available immediately, just in case."
For her, those extra pennies can be found by bulk buying and taking advantage of supermarket voucher schemes.
"Small amounts really make all the difference," agrees Mr Headon. "Look to see if you can cycle or walk to work instead of other types of transport."
For those looking to save up for a holiday, or perhaps even a house or a car, the pennies soon add up.
And like retiree John Hay, those changes can also help ease your transition and make you happier, should your income suffer a stumble. | New research suggests that the secret to happiness is simple - save an extra £50 each month. |

However, a younger bird has instead moved in and mated with the resident male, known as "Laddie".
Rangers at the reserve said Lady may yet return, but would face a competition for her nest and mate.
Lady would be 30 this year, and is thought to be the world's oldest breeding osprey, having reared 50 chicks at Loch of the Lowes.
Scottish Wildlife Trust Perthshire ranger Charlotte Fleming said everyone at the reserve was "so excited" by the new development.
She said: "Many people have been asking if this means that our famous osprey - affectionately known by many as Lady - will not return this year, but we simply do not know.

After his visit, Prince Charles, on the third day of his Welsh summer tour, was presented with the coin he had struck.
"Is that the one I made?" he asked. "I am very grateful."

"The Emeritus Champion designation is a privilege, which has been successfully used by some of the great champions of the history of our organisation including Vitali Klitschko, Floyd Mayweather, Bernard Hopkins, Erik Morales and other greats."
The WBC's board "unanimously voted" to amend Bellew's title status and said the Liverpudlian has "represented the WBC in the best way".
Bellew won his first world title against Ilunga Makabu at Goodison Park but, after beating BJ Flores in October, called out Haye and stopped the former WBA heavyweight champion at London's O2 Arena earlier this month.
After the victory, Bellew stated he would consider retirement but admitted the financial rewards his next fight would likely offer would be too big to turn down.
He has stated a rematch with Haye - who is recovering from Achilles surgery - is a possibility, while bouts against WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder or WBO title-holder Joseph Parker have also been touted.
The service has traditionally been held at Anfield but families of the victims decided 2016's ceremony would be the last at the stadium.
Instead, a "simple" service offered people "time for silent reflection", the Bishop of Liverpool said.
The Hillsborough families said the service was "scaled down a lot".
Ninety-six football fans were fatally injured in the crush at the FA Cup semi-final in Sheffield on 15 April 1989.
The new shorter service was the first held since inquests ruled their deaths were unlawfully killed.
Margaret Aspinall, whose son James died at Hillsborough, said it was "going to be different, a bit more personal and probably a bit more private for the families".
"We were all together before. Now I think it means that we can all reflect in our own way."
The half-hour service began at 14:45 BST, with one minute's silence held at 15:06 - the time the 1989 football match was halted as the disaster unfolded.
Future ceremonies will alternate between Liverpool's Anglican and Catholic cathedrals.
The Rt Rev Paul Bayes, Bishop of Liverpool, said it would be a "simple, prayerful service, offering the chance to continue to remember the victims of Hillsborough and pray for the families and all affected".
He added that it was "open to all who find it helpful to mark the anniversary in prayerful contemplation".
John Gerrard Wynne, 61, of Exmouth, Devon, was walking with his 26-year-old daughter on 3,000ft (100m) Tryfan when he fell on Sunday.
They were descending down the South Gully when they decided to turn around but Mr Wynne slipped. He is believed to have fallen more than 200ft (60m).
He was airlifted to hospital in Bangor where he died.
Chris Lloyd, of Ogwen Valley mountain rescue team, said the pair had been walking in the area over the weekend when they took a wrong path down the mountain.
An inquest is expected to be held into Mr Wynne's death. | Tony Bellew's WBC cruiserweight champion status has been changed as a result of potential ongoing involvement in the heavyweight division.

Summarize the content of the document below. | The bill scraps limits to the number of terms Nicaraguan presidents can serve.
The opposition says the changes are a threat to democracy in the impoverished Central American nation.
Mr Ortega's Sandinista Party argues that Nicaragua needs long-term stability to deal with its problems.
Nicaragua is one of the poorest countries in the region. Its main export is being threatened by coffee rust, a fungus affecting plantations across Central America.
"This constitution is not the solution for our problems - poverty or coffee rust - but it allows us to move forward," said the Sandinista leader at the assembly, Edwin Castro.
The constitutional changes were approved by 64 votes to 25. One independent lawmaker and 63 Sandinistas voted in favour; only three members of the assembly missed the vote.
The National Assembly had approved the bill on a first vote on 10 December.
The reform also scraps the current rule, which says that the winning candidate needs to receive at least 35% of the vote to be appointed president.
Opposition legislator Maria Eugenia Sequeira, from the right-wing Independent Liberal Party, said the reforms "were designed to serve the interests of the current president."
"It is more of the same in the history of Nicaragua," she added.
Mr Ortega, 68, is a former left-wing guerrilla who led a successful revolution against the dictatorship of the Somoza family, who ruled Nicaragua for four decades.
The Cuban-inspired Sandinistas seized power in 1979.
Daniel Ortega headed the revolutionary committee that ruled the country until 1984. He was then elected president and served a term from 1985 to 1990.
In power, the Sandinistas redistributed property and made huge progress in the spheres of health and education.
However, their pro-Cuban orientation alarmed the United States, which launched a sustained campaign of embargo and armed subversion.
The party lost elections in the 1990s, but Mr Ortega returned to power in January 2007, after a successful election campaign.
Controversially, he gained in the Supreme Court the right to run again in 2011.
He has now been given the National Assembly's clearance to take part in the next vote and potentially serve his fourth term as president.
"We do not need a Somoza, sorry, an Ortega forever," opposition legislator Alberto Lacayo commented ironically during Tuesday's debate. | The Nicaraguan National Assembly has approved changes to the constitution that would allow President Daniel Ortega to run for a third successive term in 2016. |
Summarize the provided information. | The Rio Olympics 10,000m finalist from Glasgow won Saturday's 10K event in Hampstead, which doubled as the British trials, in 32 minutes, four seconds.
It justified her decision to quit her job as a physics teacher to train full-time this year, and relocate to Leeds.
"At the start of the year it was a big move, big change in career," she said.
"I quit my job and left my running base in London, but it has worked out really well.
"I am up in Leeds and living with Jonny Brownlee and training up there. The squad is great and it has obviously paid off doing all that biking and swimming!"
The 25-year-old, who competed for Scotland at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, finishing ninth in 5,000m and fifth in the 10,000m, is in the early stages of making the transition from athletics to triathlon.
As well as double Olympic gold medallist Alistair Brownlee and his brother Jonny, the Rio silver medallist, Potter's training group also includes 2013 world champion Non Stanford.
"I am doing a lot less running, I am not doing as many sessions, the volume hasn't been as big but I am doing way more aerobic - five-and-a-half hours on a Wednesday," Potter explained of her change in training.
"Just having that in my heart and lungs, I am saving my legs a bit and I can come in and run pretty quick.
"It felt good, the legs were fresh, I was just ready. This was on my race plan for the last year or so, so it was nice for it to finally come round and get rolling."
Fellow Scot Steph Twell, 27, finished second in Hampstead but missed out on the qualifying mark of 32:15 by just over a second in 32:16.23. She has until 9 July to reach the standard and book her World Championships spot.

The first episode of BBC One drama The Moorside, which stars Sheridan Smith, has been warmly received by critics. |
Please give a summary of the document below. | Research commissioned by the BBC from data analysts Experian, suggested export was a key factor in the number of growing companies in the area.
It said 2.8% of south Cambridgeshire businesses were involved in export, well above the 0.6% national average.
Mark Howard, of sensor production company Zettlex, said exporting around the world had ensured its growth.
Experian surveyed business growth and potential growth in 324 areas of the UK.
It placed south Cambridgeshire seventh in terms of the proportion of its businesses considered to be high performers capable of continued growth.
Mr Howard said Zettlex's success overseas had contributed to its £1.5m turnover in the past year.
The eight-year-old Newton-based company employs 10 people, and has filled orders from the UK, USA, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Romania and Belgium since the beginning of 2012.
"We're about to start a major project with the UK Space Agency, putting our sensors onto things like landing vehicles for the Mars rover," Mr Howard said.
"It's a great feather in our cap that a small hi-tech company like us can even be considered for that.
"It's a global market out there, and because of the contracts we've signed up to we will continue growing."
Norman Shires, managing director of 12-man AV Engineering in Melbourn, said his plastic moulding business was growing for similar reasons.
"We work to a very broad spectrum of customers and export all over the world," he said.
"We send bespoke parts to China and we recently got a contract with Triumph Motorcycles, who have a plant just outside Bangkok."
He said the company had weathered four recessions and if it had not been self-financed it would have struggled to survive.
"A lot of plastics companies were mothballed, but we are still here," he said.
"Business is booming at the moment.
"Frankly the supply chain has got indigestion. We just can't get things through quickly enough." | A small business founder says his south Cambridgeshire company is thriving because of its "global outlook". |
Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Carewatch Hampshire South, based in Chandlers Ford, has been placed in special measures following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection.
It found the service was understaffed and a "significant number" of home visits were missed, which meant some people went without food and drinks.
People were not always treated with dignity, and staff were "often rude".
The service provides care to more than 500 people, including dementia patients, living in their own homes in the county.
September's inspection saw one senior staff member admit employing "unsuitable" staff.
The report, published on 29 October, said people were put at risk, and in one case someone went without care for 26 hours.
Appropriate arrangements were not in place to handle and administer medicines safely, and 71 staff had not updated their medication awareness training, the report stated.
In April 2015, the provider merged two of its offices which staff, relatives and healthcare professionals said had a "significantly negative impact on the organisation, coordination and care people received", inspectors found.
One relative also described the care plans and risk assessments as being "so out of date it's a joke".
"The culture of the service was chaotic, unorganised and lacked strong leadership and direction," the report said.
It added staff were "frightened" and did not want to speak to inspectors "due to fear of being punished by senior members of staff".
In a statement, Carewatch said it had "experienced challenges originating from the difficulties in recruiting staff locally".
It added it was working with CQC and the local authority to resolve the issues identified "as quickly as possible".
"We have already created a new branch structure and continue to recruit in the area to boost staff numbers, particularly front line care and support workers."
The Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect will allow investors to trade across the border for the first time and is set to begin on 17 November.
It means global investors will now have access to Chinese stocks from Hong Kong, potentially resulting in $3.8bn (£2.3bn) worth of trades a day.
The system was expected to begin in October, but was delayed last month.
The tie up is seen as a key milestone in the capital market liberalisation of China - the world's second largest economy - where authorities keep a strong grip on the yuan currency.
Chinese regulators finally gave their approval on Monday.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the territory's de-facto central bank, issued a statement saying it was "pleased" with the approval after "intensive discussions and preparations."
"The linking of the Hong Kong and Shanghai stock markets will also propel the development of offshore renminbi (yuan) business in Hong Kong to new heights," it said.
The areas have been identified as having "high wildness" and include islands, mountain ranges, moorlands and blanket bogs, said the agency.
Among the 42 sites are parts of Jura and also Hoy in Orkney, Breadalbane-Schiehallion in Perth and Kinross, Lochnagar and Skye's Cuillin Hills.
Public comments have been sought on draft guidance on protecting the areas.
Other sites include Talla-Hart Fells north of Moffat, Causeymire-Knockfin Fells in Caithness and Ronas Hill and North Roe in Shetland.
SNH said descriptions were based on extensive field study work and illustrated with photographs and maps.
Peter Hutchinson, SNH's planning and renewables manager, said: "Our Wild Land Areas have a distinct and special character.
"They are part of Scotland's identity and bring broad and significant benefits. For example, they attract many thousands of visitors each year and provide important havens for Scotland's wildlife."
The public consultation on the draft guidance, which is designed to protect the areas from new developments, runs until 7 April.
Landscape conservation charity, the John Muir Trust, has welcomed the publication of the descriptions and draft guidance.
Stuart Brooks, the trust's chief executive, said: "We would applaud the work that SNH has carried out to create vivid and detailed descriptions of each individual wild land area, which examine landscape, ecology, geology, archaeology and current human activity.
"They will help bring to life Scotland's most beautiful, wild and remote places - turning lines on maps into real places." | A home care agency in Hampshire has been rated "inadequate" by inspectors due to "widespread shortfalls".

Write a concise summary for the following article. | A campaign group has presented a 1,200-strong petition to Cardiff council against a planning application to bring Creigiau quarry back to life.

The meeting took place at 19:00 BST on Sunday at Creigiau Church Hall.
The Stop Creigiau Quarry group claims country roads will become "no-go zones" with lorries taking up access routes, while environmental concerns have also been raised.

Summarize the content given in the passage. | Sixteen people were killed last month in the town during clashes between striking oil workers and police.
A criminal inquiry has opened into the use of weapons by the security forces. The violence was the worst since Kazakhstan's independence 20 years ago.
Witnesses said police fired indiscriminately at unarmed workers.
Oil workers have been protesting for months in Zhanaozen, a town of about 90,000 people.
Police say they were forced to defend themselves during the clashes.
"I resolve to extend the state of emergency in the town of Zhanaozen in the Mangistau region... until 7 am on 31 January," President Nazarbayev said in a decree posted on his official website.
The president did not give a reason for the extension, which bans all protests and strikes, imposes a curfew and requires checks on transport leaving and entering the town.
It also allows officials to restrict or ban the use of television and radio broadcasting equipment.
December's clashes came after months of strikes in Kazakhstan's energy-rich Caspian Sea region. They coincided with the 20th anniversary of the country's independence and were the most violent in its post-Soviet history.
The criminal inquiry was announced following the appearance of video footage on the internet appearing to show security forces beating and shooting people.
The move marked the first time since the incident that Kazakh prosecutors had accused the police of firing on the protesters. Last month Kazakhstan asked the UN to help investigate the violence.
Eighteen people accused of taking part in the disturbances and looting have been arrested.
President Nazarbayev fired his son-in-law, Timur Kulibayev, from his position as head of Kazakhstan's sovereign wealth fund, which holds stakes in the companies whose workers were striking.
Correspondents say Mr Nazarbayev is keen to maintain his country's reputation as a bastion of stability in central Asia.
The 71-year-old leader has led Kazakhstan since the Soviet era, achieving stability and strong economic growth, but tightly suppressing opposition to his rule.
Officially titled the Leader of the Nation, Mr Nazarbayev won a presidential election in April last year with 95.5% of the vote.
Kazakhstan has huge energy reserves that are attractive to neighbouring energy-hungry China as well as to the West, which is keen to reduce Europe's dependence on Russia's hydrocarbons.
The emergency services, which included an air ambulance, were sent to Spring Road, Sholing at about 18:00 BST.

Summarize the provided section. | Grandmother Pauline McKee was playing the Miss Kitty game at a casino when she won 185 credits, or $1.85.
But a message appeared on screen saying she had also won a bonus worth $41,797,550.16.
The casino refused to pay out, saying the award was a computer glitch.
Ms McKee, who has 13 grandchildren, sued the casino but the Iowa Supreme Court eventually threw out her case.
"I had my doubts from the start, because that's a lot of money for a penny machine," she told the Chicago Tribune.
"I was hoping to help my children out financially, but it wasn't meant to be."
The casino argued that the on-screen rules clearly indicated that "malfunction voids all pays and plays".
At the time of the dispute, the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission (IRGC) secured the machine and carried out an investigation, sending the hardware and software to an independent testing laboratory.
The investigators found that the software was programmed to allow a bonus of up to $10,000, but they couldn't work out how the multi-million bonus message had occurred.
The machine's maker, Aristocrat Technologies, said it had been aware of this type of error in the display and suggested "component degradation over time may increase the susceptibility to this rare occurrence".
The company had alerted casinos to the glitch in 2010 and recommended that they disable the bonus facility as a precautionary measure. The casino evidently had not done this.
The IRGC concluded that the bonus display was "not valid" and that "the slot machine game malfunctioned."
Ms McKee sued the casino in 2012 claiming breach of contract and consumer fraud.
The court unanimously sided with the casino in 2013, but the case dragged on when Ms McKee's lawyers argued that the IRGC had no jurisdiction in disputes between casinos and their patrons.
They also questioned whether the machine had really "malfunctioned", as the IRGC had concluded, and whether she had really entered into a contract when playing the game.
There have been similar cases in the US involving erroneous bonus displays.
In 2009, a player "won" a bonus of $1m that had appeared on screen, only for a Mississippi court to throw out the claim.
In this case, the game rules limited payouts to $8,000.
The doughty Ms McKee saw her case finally rejected by the Iowa Supreme Court on 24 April.
