"Like all fans and our manager, there are many things I have the hump with after today. Care to know them all?" he asked before listing his gripes.
The self-made millionaire singled-out a number of players in his posts.
MacAnthony, who became Peterborough chairman eight years ago, finished with a message to any players who had taken offence.
"Oh and finally," he said. "If any of my players are bit too sensitive to what's been said, feel free to let me know anytime. Or, alternatively, just do your job!"
MacAnthony's list of grievances was: | Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony has criticised his players on social media following Saturday's 2-0 defeat by Colchester. |
Summarize the provided information. | Andrew McLeod faces two charges allegedly committed on 31 March at Friarfield House in Dundee's Barrack Street.
Friarfield House is the home of Dundee City Council's criminal justice social work team.
Mr McLeod, 38, of Ward Road, appeared in private at Dundee Sheriff Court.
He is charged with taking or making indecent photographs of children and of possessing indecent photographs of children.
He made no plea or declaration and was fully committed for trial.
Mr McLeod was remanded in custody ahead of further court dates being set. | A Dundee man has appeared in court accused of downloading child abuse images at the city's criminal justice social work office. |
Can you provide an overview of this section? | Almost 85% of the electorate turned out to vote, an unprecedented proportion in recent decades.
The overall result was reached by simply adding together all ballots but data from the 32 Scottish council areas reveal differences in voting patterns.
The overall result was slightly wider than predicted with 55% No to 45% Yes but the split varied across areas.
The closest result was Inverclyde with 50.1 No to 49.9% Yes.
The most emphatic No vote was Orkney where 67.2% voted against independence, followed by Scottish Borders and Dumfries & Galloway.
Dundee was the most pro-Yes with 57.4%, followed by West Dunbartonshire and Glasgow, which has an electorate of half a million people.
John Curtice, professor of politics at Strathclyde University, said the result was not as close as opinion polls had been predicting.
"That is not uncommon in these referendums where people are being asked to make a big change. They often draw back at the last minute," he said.
An extraordinarily large turnout of 84.6% is the highest seen in recent decades. The last UK general election to come close was in 1951 with 83.9%.
To beat it means looking back to 1910 when women did not have the vote and many men were also disenfranchised.
Glasgow had the lowest turnout at 75%, followed by Dundee on 78.8%.
The highest was East Dunbartonshire at 91% with East Renfrewshire and Stirling also nudging over 90%.
The European election in May 2014 gives some indication of party political support across Scotland although the turnout was much lower than that for the referendum.
In May, the SNP had the largest vote share overall with Labour second.
In the referendum, three of the four areas to vote Yes had backed Labour in the European election.
Dundee was the exception, backing the SNP in May and voting Yes in the referendum.
Professor of politics at Edinburgh University, Charlie Jeffrey, said party loyalties did not seem to have mattered in the referendum vote.
He said: "We have seen results in Labour strongholds like Glasgow and North Lanarkshire where there has been a 'Yes' vote, and in SNP strongholds like Angus and Perthshire there has been a 'No' vote.
"What we have found is a very strong correlation between the Yes vote and a higher level of unemployment.
"But also a slightly less strong relationship between the more British you feel, the less likely you are to vote 'Yes'.
"These seem to be more significant influences than political party in the outcome."
The latest annual unemployment figures show North Ayrshire the worst affected with a rate of 13.5% of the adult population. This area returned a narrow No vote of 51%.
Neighbouring East Ayrshire has the second-highest unemployment rate with 11.4% and Dundee - which voted Yes - is third with 11.3%.
At the other end of the scale, Shetland, which voted strongly No, has the lowest unemployment with 3.2%, followed by Aberdeenshire on 3.3%.
Some 109,533 youngsters aged 16 to 17 registered to vote after being given the chance to do so for the first time.
A snap poll by Lord Ashcroft asking voters how they had cast their ballots found this age group had voted overwhelmingly for independence, with 71% for Yes.
However among the wider 16-24-year-old age group the Yes vote was 51%, according to the poll.
Glasgow is the area with the biggest total population in Scotland and also has a high number of teen voters. Figures from the 2011 Census show the city had more than 18,000 people aged 13-15.
Depending on when their birthday falls, these youngsters will now be aged 16-19.
At the other end of the demographic spectrum is Scotland's rising older population. The proportion of people aged 65-plus now stands at 16.8%, slightly more than the proportion of under 16-year-olds.
Unsurprisingly, the issue of pensions consistently registered as one of the key issues in the independence debate.
Those areas with a relatively older population are the places where "No" did well.
The Lord Ashcroft overnight poll of 2,047 voters found that 73% over 65s chose No. | Scotland has voted against independence from the United Kingdom in an historic referendum. |
Provide a summary of the section below. | Ocho stars students from Archbishop Sentamu Academy and is to be performed in East Yorkshire and Barcelona.
An estimated 4,000 people from Britain and Ireland fought against General Franco's forces between 1936 and 1939.
Liam Foster, a musician in the play, said: "It's a massive piece of local history none of us knew about."
The production, starring students aged 15-18, was written by Jane Thornton and features music by Dave Rotheray, lead guitarist for The Beautiful South.
Andrew Young, of Hull International Brigades Memorial Group, said: "It is incredible to think eight ordinary working class guys put their life on the line to take a principled stand against fascism."
Four of the Hull men, Jack Atkinson, Jim Bentley, Morris Miller and Robert Wardle, died.
Joe Latus, Richard Mortimer, Sam Walters and Bert Wilson all returned.
All are commemorated on a plaque in the city's Guildhall.
Mr Wilson is recorded wrongly on the plaque as Leslie, because he was only 17 years old and used the passport of his older brother, Leslie, to get to Spain.
Although full details of the men's service in Spain are unclear, Jack Atkinson died on 21 January 1937 in Jarama.
Robert Wardle, aged 28, left his wife and two children to go to Spain and both he and Jim Bentley, 24, died near Calaceite on 31 March 1938 less than a month after they had arrived.
Morris Miller, 22, who had written articles for the International Brigade newspaper, was the last of the four to be killed during a battle on Hill 666, near Gandesa in the Ebro offensive of 1938.
He is remembered on a concrete memorial on the hill. His cousin Jonathan Miller previously told the BBC: "It's a long way from Hull and it looks a lot different but there's a big connection, and Morris is the connection."
Some of the Hull men went from London to Paris before going south to the Spanish border, followed by a tough climb on foot across the Pyrenees mountain range to join the war.
Joe Latus arrived on an unknown beach carried by a fishing trawler, according to his daughter Dilys Porter.
She has a box of her father's mementoes including his identity card and one with the motto "It is better to die on our feet as a free man than live on our knees as slaves".
He returned to a career in the Merchant Navy, took part in the Dunkirk evacuation in World War Two, and later became a director of rugby league team Hull FC.
Mrs Porter said: "They are real heroes I think and ought to be celebrated as such."

Connaught, the property services group that specialises in social housing, is on the brink of going into administration, according to bankers close to the company.
An announcement is expected tomorrow, I have learned.
Connaught, which employs 10,000 people, has £220m of debt, provided by half a dozen banks and a quartet of other creditors.
The lead bank is Royal Bank of Scotland, which recently provided Connaught with a further £15m in an attempt to keep the group going.
Connaught ran into serious difficulties over the past couple of months, after it emerged that a series of contracts would be lossmaking.
The management, under a new chairman, Sir Roy Gardner, the chairmen of Compass, the catering giant, has tried to put together a rescue plan.
However its bank creditors have decided instead to put the business in administration, under UK insolvency procedures.
In spite of the severity of the economic crisis that engulfed the UK in 2008, few listed businesses have collapsed. In that sense, Connaught, a FTSE 250 company which at one stage had a market value of well over £500m, is unusual.

After the embarrassing U-turn on the attempt to raise taxes for the self-employed, Philip Hammond told me the government needed "flexibility" on taxes.
The manifesto is not yet final, so no irreversible decisions have been taken.
The chancellor said he didn't come into politics to "increase taxes".
But it is the clearest hint yet that Mr Hammond would like to see the 2015 manifesto promise on taxes significantly amended if not abandoned all together.
"We do need flexibility to manage the system and we do need to make sure that Theresa May and her government have a clear mandate to execute our plan," he told me.
"All chancellors would prefer to have more flexibility in how they manage the economy and how they manage the overall tax burden down [rather] than having to have their hands constrained.
"But what we put in the manifesto will be decided in the next few days and we will publish that."
James Smith, a Scotsman also known as Jimmy Smith, was last seen at George Tavern Pub in Tower Hamlets, London, in November 2015.
Scotland Yard want to talk to him in connection with allegations of rape and assault between 1981 and 1987.
The two victims were aged under 18 at the time, police said.
The allegations were first reported to police in 2013, but officers have been unable to locate Mr Smith.
The former Glasgow bus driver, originally from the Scottish Highlands, had a brother called Joe or Joseph.
He moved to London in 1980 and lived in Poplar, east London.
Mr Smith had light ginger hair at the time and would now be aged between 65 and 75.
Hannah Stewart, of the Met Police's sexual offences unit, said: "Inquiries to trace James Smith in connection with this investigation have so far been unsuccessful and by launching this appeal we hope that someone will be able to provide us with vital information that will lead us to him." | Torquay United have signed Fleetwood Town's American goalkeeper Brendan Moore on a month's loan.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | The showpiece Africa Cup of Nations finals is set to be expanded and its contentious timing changed, but its frequency will remain every two years.
The tournament is likely to be moved to June and July, instead of January and February, and will increase from 16 to 24 teams.
The two annual club competitions - the African Champions League and African Confederation Cup - are likely to run from August to May rather than inside a calendar year, as has been the case for decades.
It will increase revenue for Caf and we can triple our income
Changes to refereeing structures, coaching standards and medical preparedness were also recommended.
Caf's executive committee meets in Rabat on Thursday and is expected to formalise all the major recommendations.
"From a sporting perspective, it will allow more opportunity for footballers across the continent," said Nigerian Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick.
The insistence the Nations Cup should stay in January, which has often infuriated European clubs as they lose their African players during the season, could soon be a thing of the past.
But Africa's flagship sporting event will still be played every two years as the tournament is a leading source of revenue for Caf, which would lose half of that money should the finals be played every four years, as some proposed.
There was no opposition to the change of the timing of the finals, which will please African players based at European clubs, who are regularly involved in a club-versus-country row every two years.
The increase in the number of finalists is an attempt to increase marketing and TV revenue, talking a leaf out of the book of Uefa whose European Championship increased in size in 2016.
"It will increase revenue for Caf and we can triple our income," added Pinnick. "It will also force more infrastructure development."
The symposium also recommended that requirements for hosting the Nations Cup must be increased, particularly around the issue of pitches and hotels, whose poor quality has drawn heavy criticism at recent finals.
This year's expansion of the number of clubs in the Champions League and Confederation Cup has meant the top teams in Africa have been forced to play group matches between May and July.
Usually, many of these sides would be enjoying end-of-season holidays prior to preparing for a new campaign.
The criticism of the dates has led to the recommendation that the Champions League and Confederation Cup will run from August to May - possibly as early as next year.
Similar to the European Champions League, the group phase would be finished by the end of year to allow the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals to be completed by May.
John Bennett, Football reporter, BBC World Service
I've spoken to many African footballers who feel having the Africa Cup of Nations in January has damaged their careers in European football.
A Bundesliga player once told me his manager put pressure on him not go and after coming back from the tournament he never regained his place in the team.
A Serie A star said it takes weeks to recover from the exhaustion of playing in the intense Nations Cup and it led to him losing form.
And others have told me it puts clubs off signing them, when they know they'll miss six weeks of the season.
So that's why this news will be welcomed by the vast majority of the players. Particularly the big names. And of course Premier League managers will be delighted. 26 players from the English top flight went to the last Nations Cup.
The huge negative is the weather. It'll be almost impossible for some countries in Africa to host the tournament because extremely hot and wet conditions in June will not be suitable for football.
Some will also be angry with the sense that African football is being dictated to by European football.
Increasing the tournament to 24 teams is also controversial.
Yes it allows more teams to qualify and will increase income but will the quality be diluted? And how many nations will have the infrastructure to host eight more teams? | Dramatic changes to Africa's top competition now await rubber-stamping by the executive committee of the Confederation of African Football (Caf) after recommendations made at a conference in Morocco on Wednesday. |

The American, 34, coped with a gusty wind on Centre Court to win 7-5 6-3 and equal Steffi Graf's Open era record of major titles.
Kerber had beaten Williams in the Australian Open final in January but could not produce another shock.
Williams ends a losing run at Slams stretching back to Wimbledon last year.
Later on Centre Court, Serena and sister Venus claimed their sixth Wimbledon women's doubles title - and 14th Grand Slam trophy - with a 6-3 6-4 win over Timea Babos and Yaroslava Shvedova.

Fourteen years since she first won Wimbledon, Williams claimed the title for a seventh time after dropping just one set all tournament.
The world number one banished memories of last year, when she fell two matches short of a historic calendar Grand Slam, and of losing in the Australian and French Open finals this year.
"It's been incredibly difficult not to think about it," she said of finally winning number 22.
"It makes the victory even sweeter to know how hard I worked hard for it.
"This court definitely feels like home, I have a match later today in the doubles, so I'll be back out."
Williams moves alongside German great Graf in the all-time list of Grand Slam singles champions, and just two behind overall leader Margaret Court, the Australian who won 13 of her 24 major titles before tennis turned professional in 1968.

Williams had tried and failed three times to win her 22nd major singles title but she finally got over the line with a performance that owed as much to nerve as to skill.
Kerber, 28, was the outsider but buoyed by her win over Williams in Melbourne, and the swirling wind added another element of uncertainty to the final.
The German's serve was under pressure immediately but after she saw off three break points in the second game, Kerber managed to contain Williams for the most part with her relentless hitting from corner to corner.
A pumped-up Williams roared in celebration after one lunging volley, and again when three serves got her out of trouble at 5-5, and it was Kerber's resistance which broke first.
After a carefully managed 12 games the German made only her fourth and fifth errors of the set to fall 15-40 behind, before Williams converted her second set point with a thumping backhand into the corner.
Kerber was not about to fold, however, finally earning her first break point of the match at 3-3 in the second set after one hour and 13 minutes - only to watch as Williams hammered a 117mph ace out wide.
And moments later an engrossing final came to a sudden end.
Kerber mis-hit a backhand to drop serve and Williams then powered through her final service game, punching away a forehand volley on match point and falling back on to the Centre Court turf.
Steffi Graf, seven-time Wimbledon champion on Facebook: "What an incredible performance by Serena at Wimbledon. Such a gift to all sport fans who get to continue to watch her add to an already amazing career #22."
Billie Jean King, six-time Wimbledon champion: "The difference was the serve, because their groundstrokes they matched up so well.
"It is the most beautiful serve ever. I remember seeing Serena when she was probably 11 or 12 and her technique was beautiful and she is such a terrific athlete.
"Serena hates losing and I think that is what makes her so great. If Serena can keep her motivation and stay healthy I think she can be the greatest ever. I think she is and will be, but she needs to do it."
Lindsay Davenport, 1999 Wimbledon champion: "This has been the goal since Serena left the tournament 12 months ago, to get to 22 and seven Wimbledon titles.
"She has been a woman on a mission for two weeks. She had one iffy match against [Christina] McHale and that was it."
John McEnroe, three-time Wimbledon champion: "I do think it is highly likely that will happen [Williams overtaking Court], she has tremendous will and desire. If you want to be the greatest of the great, that is the way you have to play.
"I don't see anyone on the horizon that will mean she doesn't get at least a couple more quickly." | World number one Serena Williams beat German fourth seed Angelique Kerber to win a seventh Wimbledon and 22nd Grand Slam title. |
Provide a brief summary for the information below. | IS claimed via its news agency that its militants had captured two Turkish soldiers in al-Dana village near al-Bab in northern Syria.
Turkey has not commented on the claim.
The Turkish military is leading an offensive to clear IS and Kurdish forces from the strategic al-Bab town.
Since launching a ground offensive against IS in September, Turkey has become an increasing target for the militants.
Jihadist cells are believed to have carried out several bombings in the country over the past year.
Recently, an audio recording, purportedly by the leader of IS, was released in which he called on his fighters to attack Turkey and its forces in Syria and Iraq.
The BBC's Mark Lowen in Istanbul says that although the Turkish government currently has broad support for its military offensive in Syria, that support could wane if its army sustains more losses.
IS is believed to have captured a Turkish solider in the summer of 2015, with his location still unknown.
Officers were called to Orford Ness just before 11:00 BST by the National Trust, which reported the discovery at its nature reserve.
A police cordon is in place on the beach and an investigation is under way.
The death is currently being treated as unexplained and the body has not yet been identified.
The tourists began day three on 80-4 in reply to the Proteas' 423, which had been anchored by centuries from JP Duminy (155) and Hashim Amla (134).
But Sri Lanka were skittled for 131 before lunch and asked to follow on.
They fared little better second time around in Johannesburg, only opener Dimuth Karunaratne (50) providing any resistance as they crumbled for 177.
Visiting skipper Angelo Mathews, dismissed twice for 19 and 10 in Johannesburg on Saturday, admitted his side had struggled in South African conditions.
With the Wanderers ground traditionally assisting seam bowlers with pace and bounce, a four-strong pace attack of Wayne Parnell (4-51), Vernon Philander, Kagiso Rabada and debutant Duanne Olivier did the damage - with the Proteas only needing to bowl one over of spin in the entire match.
"I have been part of many defeats, but as a captain it is certainly the worst defeat," said Mathews.
"We did our best by preparing pitches in Sri Lanka with lots of grass but unfortunately we couldn't handle it.
"Teams come to the subcontinent and struggle. We beat Australia 3-0 but we need to find a way to win overseas as well."

South Africa, having lost the number one Test ranking spot after their home defeat by England almost exactly a year ago, are now firmly in third place after this success, combined with Pakistan's 3-0 loss in Australia which has seen them drop to fifth.
Proteas captain Faf du Plessis said: "We want to get back to number one, although it could take a bit of time with the number of games India are playing there."
South Africa now meet Sri Lanka in three Twenty20 matches, beginning at Centurion on 20 January, and five one-day internationals.
South Bank Square aims to develop land close to the Caw roundabout with frontages to Crescent Link and Clooney Road.
If approved, the scheme would take about 10 years to complete.
House builders in Northern Ireland are beginning major schemes for the first time since the property crash.
Private house building collapsed when a house-price bubble burst in 2007 and 2008.
Official figures show just over 4,500 private housing units were completed in Northern Ireland in 2014-2015.
That compares to more than 16,500 completions in 2005-2006.
South Bank Square is controlled by Maghera businessman Seamus Gillan.
His main firm, BSG Civil Engineering, mainly carries out engineering work for public sector clients like Northern Ireland Water.
Mr Gillan said the proposed development had got "extremely constructive and positive feedback in consultation with local residents".
He said he knows the importance of addressing traffic issues at the Caw roundabout and the planning application "responds to these issues".
Brian Kelly, the director of Turley and the lead planner for South Bank Square, said recent statistics suggest that housing completions in the Derry City and Strabane Council area have been slower than elsewhere in Northern Ireland.
He added that the scheme would represent 18% of the housing needed to accommodate the projected growth of the city's population over the next 20 years. | Turkish military officials say they have lost contact with two of their soldiers in northern Syria, where they are engaged in an offensive against so-called Islamic State.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | The retired midfielder met political leaders, visited two potential stadiums and had a meeting with a fans group.
Part of his LA Galaxy contract included an option to create a new MLS team by buying an "expansion franchise".
"I think Miami fans are very passionate about their sports and very passionate about winning," he said.
"It's definitely exciting."
Ex-England captain Beckham's representatives have held talks with the league over the purchase of the new club and although there is no MLS franchise in Miami, the 38-year-old is understood to have other locations in mind as well.
Former LA Galaxy player Beckham visited the Sun Life stadium, home to the NFL's Miami Dolphins, which holds around 75,000 fans, and a 20,000-capacity stadium at Florida International University (FIU).
Jose Sotolongo, the executive director of the Miami-Dade Sports Commission, was among those who met with the ex-Manchester United midfielder and said there was plenty of support for a top-flight team in Miami.
"We know that our community can support not only the international soccer (friendlies) that have been coming to Miami for a while now, but that it would support an MLS franchise," he said.
"The city of Miami has a very international fan base and a very soccer savvy fan base. This is the kind of ownership group that would electrify the community and hopefully we will get good news."
The issue will be discussed at the British Ecological Society's annual meeting in Edinburgh on Monday.
Species reintroduced to Scotland in recent decades include the white tailed eagle, the red kite and the beaver.
A final decision on whether beavers should remain in the wild is to be made by the Scottish government.
About 1,000 ecologists will gather in Edinburgh for the annual meeting.
Delegates will hear details from some of the 16 rewilding projects in the UK.
Concerns include the transformation of ecosystems to allow rewilding and environmental changes caused by its implementation.
Dr Nathalie Pettorelli of the Zoological Society of London is organising the session on rewilding.
Dr Pettorelli believes the issue stirs strong emotions with members of the public, landowners, farmers and campaigners, and wants science to be at the heart of decision-making.
She said: "Rewilding is an opportunity for conservation, but it needs to be informed by science to optimize chances of success. I want ecologists and social scientists to engage with rewilding, rather than letting it thrive in non-scientific arenas.
"We need to engage to prevent the debate from becoming polarised."
One the experts due to speak at the event is Dr Calum Brown from the University of Edinburgh.
He believes public interest represents a major opportunity for rewilding, but competing interests must be acknowledged and accommodated.
He added: "Since the last ice age, Scotland has gained and then lost a remarkable variety of species. There is now increasing interest in restoring some of this lost biodiversity and establishing rewilded areas where natural processes can once again occur uninterrupted.
"However, there are many other interests at play in modern Scotland, and restoration projects must take account of their social, political, economic and environmental contexts if they are to be successful." | David Beckham said the prospect of setting up and owning a Major League Soccer team in Miami was "exciting" during a visit to Florida on Saturday.

Give a brief summary of the content. | Stoke Gifford Parish Council voted on Tuesday to charge Parkrun a fee to use Little Stoke Park, near Bristol.
The decision caused an outcry, prompting the cancellation of this Saturday's run.
Despite fears hundreds of runners would turn up at Little Stoke Park in protest, only a couple of dozen were at the park earlier.
The council is the first authority to say it will charge Parkrun a fee for the use of its grounds.
Councillors voted six-to-four in favour of charges for "wear and tear", having said it was "unfair" to expect non-running residents to pay for the park's upkeep.
The event co-director, Becky Bushnell, said it meant the end of the Little Stoke event.
Organisers announced on Wednesday they were cancelling this week's Little Stoke Park run amid fears the number of runners may exceed the park's "safe limit".
With "emotions running high" people were urged not to go by Parkrun's chief operating officer Tom Williams.
Most heeded the advice but around 25 runners did brave the cold to show support.

Summarize the information in the following section. | The Jamaican, 26, held talks with Shane Warne's Melbourne Stars in October.
But Bolt's agent Ricky Simms told BBC Sport: "Usain is currently an athlete focused on his preparations for the 2013 World Championships in Moscow.
"He may try his hand at cricket or football when he retires from running but that would be after 2016."
Media playback is not supported on this device
Bolt, who grew up in cricket-mad Jamaica, was sounded out by Melbourne Stars captain Warne in August after cementing his status as an athletics legend by defending his and relay crowns at the London 2012 Olympics.
Bolt said at the time that he would "definitely" love to be involved in the Australian tournament, prompting Warne to launch a Twitter campaign to try to bring about the move.
The story resurfaced on Friday when ex-Australia wicketkeeper Ian Healy tweeted that a deal between Bolt and the Stars to play in the competition - which runs from 7 December to 9 January - was "hours away".
But Healy's claim was dismissed by Simms, who said: "I met with the Melbourne Stars in October and told them Usain is not available to play cricket this year."
Melbourne Stars media manager Jess Cook told BBC Sport that the team had held "lengthy discussions" with Bolt's representatives over the summer before accepting defeat.
"From our end this has been done and dusted since mid-October," she told BBC Sport.
"We had lengthy discussions with Bolt's management from June to August but his training schedule ahead of the World Championships unfortunately wouldn't allow him to be involved with the Stars this summer.
"We will remain close to Bolt and explore it again next season."
Bolt, who describes himself as an all-rounder, has appeared in charity cricket matches and famously clean bowled then West Indies captain Chris Gayle in 2009.
His first love, however, is football. He was a special guest of Manchester United at the 2011 Champions League final in London and spoke recently of his desire to play professionally in the future.
"I always wanted to try to play soccer," he stated in October. "Maybe at the end of my career. It would be something that I would love to try."
Jamaican sprint rival Yohan Blake, who captured gold at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu when a false start ruled Bolt out of the final, also touts himself as a potential cricketer.
The 23-year-old was a guest of honour at Lord's for the first day of England's final Test with South Africa in August and declared his desire to play in the Big Bash after interest from the Sydney Sixers.
"I bowl around 85-90 mph, which is definitely quicker than Usain," said Blake.
"He would probably get more bouncers than me because he is taller but I am definitely faster than him."

The video streaming company added 3.2 million international customers in the last three months, far more than the 2 million analysts had predicted.
In the US numbers rose by 370,000, as hit shows such as Stranger Things and Narcos won over more subscribers.
It helped quarterly revenues rise 31% to $2.29bn (£1.88bn), sparking a 20% jump in Netflix's share price.
In the three months to the end of September Netflix had about 83.3 million subscribers.
The company said on Monday that it plans to license content to existing online service providers in China rather than operate its own service in China in the near term.
Netflix has been expanding in international markets to counter slowing growth in the US. The service has a strong presence in more than 130 markets worldwide, except China.
Concern that Netflix's growth was slowing had overshadowed the company. Its shares had fallen about 13% this year.
But in after-hours trading on Wall Street the shares jumped 20% to about $119.
Analysts said that the figures should dispel fears that Netflix was running out of momentum, at least in the short term.
Neil Saunders, chief executive of retail consultants Conlumino, said: "We maintain our view that over the next few years international expansion will pay dividends, but for the current cycle Netflix will be very reliant on domestic performance to ensure it ends the fiscal year on a high note." | Antrim will face Carlow in the Hurling League Division 2A final next week despite suffering a first defeat of their campaign to Westmeath on Sunday.

What is the summary of the following article? | UN chief Ban Ki-moon and the head of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) will be asked to prepare a plan for an inquiry.
The vote came after the US and Russia agreed on the final text of the resolution.
A mission to eliminate Syria's chemical arsenal was set up after a deadly attack outside Damascus in August 2013.
Late last year, the OPCW declared it had removed or destroyed all 1,180 tonnes of declared toxic agents and precursor chemicals.
After Friday's vote, the US ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, said it was a clear message that the perpetrators would not go unpunished.
"Today's resolution has been adopted with the council's unanimous support," she said.
"This sends a clear and powerful message to all those involved in chemical weapons attacks in Syria. The joint investigative mechanism will identify you if you gas people.
"It bears repeating as well that we need to bring the same unity that we have shown today to urgently find a political solution to the Syrian crisis."
Up until now, international experts have carried out only fact-finding missions in Syria to determine whether chemical weapons attacks have occurred. Their reports have not explicitly pointed a finger of blame at those believed to be responsible - although details, like the use of chlorine-filled barrel bombs, are in themselves incriminating, because only the forces of Bashar-al-Assad have them in their arsenal.
The significance of this Security Council resolution is that it will create a new investigative body with a mandate to attribute blame. The United States, which has spent months negotiating this resolution with Russia, believes it will end a culture of impunity regarding the use of chemical weapons and accumulate evidence that could be used in future prosecutions.
The Americans concede, however, that those prosecutions are not imminent, and could be years or more than a decade away. Although the resolution paves the way for the creation of an attribution mechanism it will not trigger automatic punishment - a weakness seized upon by human rights groups.
The challenge of assessing Syria's chemical weapons
Friday's resolution is a rare display of unanimity from the UN on Syria, with all 15 members voting in favour.
The resolution follows months of negotiations between the US, which has long accused the Assad regime of using chemical weapons, and Russia, which has defended its Syrian ally.
Syria's ambassador to the UN Bashar Jaafari denied his government was behind the attacks, claiming the Islamic State (IS) group and the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front were to blame.
Under the terms of the agreement, a team of expert inspectors will be given full access where possible to all locations in Syria and be allowed to collect materials and interview witnesses.
Vitaly Churkin, the UN's Russian representative, said he hoped that the joint investigative body would work "impartially, objectively and professionally".

After coming within three points of the tourists in the second Test in Wellington - despite playing with 14 men for most of the match - the All Blacks will be confident of revenge and victory, however.
It has been a tough, tight and enthralling tour so far, with the sides level at one-Test apiece going into the decider. I expect its final act to be the same.
Since a stuttering win over the Provincial Barbarians five weeks ago in their tour opener, coach Warren Gatland says his Lions side have been on a steep curve of improvement.
He spoke of the team having "another level" within them and has shown faith in the same line-up that won the second Test for Saturday's third Test at Eden Park.
These guys deserve another crack at it.
Media playback is not supported on this device
The main question mark was over loose-head prop Mako Vunipola. He gave away four penalties and was sin-binned in an undisciplined performance.
Gatland has claimed the Saracen was unlucky, but I'm sure he will have been told in no uncertain terms to clean up his game.
The coach may have reasoned that, at this level, front-row replacements are essential as heavy legs tire towards the end of the game.
Vunipola may be just as much as a liability in the final 25 minutes as he would have been in the previous 55 minutes and the Lions would be running the same risk in the decisive phases of the game.
Second row Alun Wyn Jones and flanker Sam Warburton both returned steady, rather than spectacular, individual stats from the second Test, but their experience and consistency is keeping them in the side and, on balance, deservedly so.
Both will be key in stopping the All Blacks on the gain-line, if not before it.
Before the second Test, the coaching staff essentially questioned the qualities of their side as characters, as much as players.
Defence coach Andy Farrell said that the tourists had to "man up" and win the collisions. It was personal.
They were physically dominated up front in the first Test and the coaches knew that if that happened again the series was gone.
Yet, again that will be key.
Instead of travelling straight from Wellington to Auckland after the second Test, the Lions headed to Queenstown, nearly a thousand miles away from the venue of the decider, Eden Park, for a few days' rest and relaxation that included bungee jumping and power boating.
The All Blacks, by contrast, were straight back into the gym, working out the kinks from their second-Test defeat and focusing on the third.
Hindsight is 20:20. If the Lions get hammered in the third Test, there will be questions about it. But people are always wise after the event.
Gatland did similarly in 2013 in Australia, when the squad headed off for a few day's surfing in Noosa and promptly romped to victory in the third Test.
He has always been focused on short, sharp training sessions. I'm sure there will have been a bit of rugby stuff fitted in around the fun.
Going straight to Auckland would have meant spending a long time next to the belly of the All Black beast as well.
The All Blacks have not lost at Eden Park for 23 years and right now, with the whole of Auckland bursting with patriotic pride in the wake of the victorious Americas Cup sailing campaign, it would be a pretty intense place to spend the whole week.
There is also the fact that the two teams are at opposite ends of their seasons. The Lions are at the tail-end of long club and country campaigns. The All Blacks are just getting started.
This time last year Jordie Barrett was playing in the under-20s World Cup in England, playing in front of a few hundred people at venues that included Manchester City's training ground,
This Saturday, the 20-year-old makes his first international start in New Zealand's biggest game since the 2015 World Cup final, if not before.
That sort of meteoric rise might go to some youngsters' heads, but he is a typically grounded, low-key Kiwi; not a lot of razzmatazz or celebrity, they just want to play the game they love.
It almost goes without saying, considering the production line of New Zealand talent, but he is a superb all-round footballer.
He is not as frighteningly quick as his fly-half brother Beauden, but he is a better goal-kicker, clocking up a 75% success rate in Super Rugby.
At 6ft 5in, he has an obvious advantage under the high ball and his understanding with both his brother and fellow Hurricanes Ngani Laumape and Julian Savea will help him settle.
I don't think the Lions are going to try and change tactics particularly to focus on him, but the doubt will be whether his excellent Super Rugby form will survive the heat of a Lions series decider.
He made a few mistakes - knocking on early on and then catching Jack Nowell with a high tackle - when playing for the Hurricanes against the Lions.
The change the All Blacks have had to make for Saturday is in midfield after Sonny Bill Williams was banned for four weeks in the wake of his red card for a shoulder to the head of Anthony Watson last weekend.
The All Blacks have decided that the future is Laumape.
The other, more experienced, option was Malakai Fekitoa.
But there is so much talk of him heading to Europe and a rumoured deal with Toulon as he comes to the end of his Highlanders contract, that the selectors decided to go with some of the wealth of talent that lies behind him on the All Black production line.
Like Barrett, it will be Laumape's first international start.
However, he has had a stellar season for the Hurricanes, is the joint-top try scorer in Super Rugby and in their game against the Lions he ran for yards and yards.
You know what is coming with him. His game is about smashing through defences with cannonball power rather than slicing them open with stealthy angles. He will be running full bore down that inside centre channel, testing the tackling of Owen Farrell.
Some of his defensive decisions were criticised in the wake of the second Test as he got out of the defensive line looking for a big hit. But, that was him coming into the game as a replacement for Sonny Bill Williams - a tricky situation for anyone.
Savea has come in on the wing with both Waisake Naholo and Reiko Ioane out, and what a squad option for Steve Hansen to have up his sleeve.
The 26-year-old has 46 tries in 53 Tests.
He has not been at his usual high standard this season, and was notably quiet in the Hurricanes game against the Lions.
But at his best he is thunderous, running onto the ball and blasting players out of the way to score.
If finds form and space, the Lions are in trouble no matter who he is up against.
The team-talks will be very emotional this week in the Lions' camp. It will be deep and meaningful because there is nothing left for them beyond this match.
Next month, the All Blacks play Australia.
In September, they take on South Africa and Argentina.
In a couple of years' time, they will be defending their world title.
For the Lions, the only thing left is this match - the team may have existed since 1888, but each incarnation is only as a snapshot in time.
It is simultaneously very serious, and slightly surreal, to be defined by one match.
You have so many doubts as a rugby player, and those are magnified on a Lions tour, where you have locals wishing you well with one breath and predicting your defeat with the next.
I'm a confident individual, but even I had to work on that. I had to deal with the doubt by finding the rational evidence against it. That helped keep it from affecting me and causing me to hesitate on the field.
As a Lion, you find that evidence in the dressing room. It wasn't about the hyperbole, the history or, as nice as they were, the messages of support from back in Britain.
I just looked around at the players around me as we were preparing to go out.
That collection of talent, that wealth of character, outweighed any doubts I had. I genuinely believed that we could and would win.
I'm sure that when the Lions will feel the same things when look each other in the eyes in the depths of Eden Park on Saturday, the 2017 Lions will feel the same thing.
I would love them to win and they definitely can become only the second Lions team to win a series in New Zealand but, on the balance of probabilities, unfortunately I think the All Blacks are more likely to. | The Lions are 80 minutes away from a series win against world champions New Zealand that would cause ripples around the sporting world and echo in rugby folklore for decades to come. |
What is a brief summary of the information below? | Dr Andrew Petersen first became aware of a possible settlement after finding masonry and pottery at Ras Al-Sharig in Qatar.
He thought something might be there after reading sources naming a town called Rubayqa.
"But we certainly weren't prepared for the scale of the find," said the expert from the University of Wales, Lampeter.
The haul includes the remains of a fort, a mosque, several industrial and domestic buildings, and 100 kilos of pottery and artefacts.
Among the more unusual discoveries were Indian rupee coins set into the walls of a building believed to have been a mosque, porcelain originating from as far afield as China and Burma, and several date presses, even though dates are impossible to grow in the area.
However, Dr Petersen, a specialist in Islamic archaeology, and the team from the Qatar Museums Authority are more puzzled at what they did not find.
"Aside from the mosque, there's very little evidence of cultural or domestic life. It appears that this was a very early example of an industrial settlement, with only very basic barrack-style accommodation.
"The principal industry seems to have been processing sugars and oil from dates, and given that they're not native to the region, they must have been brought in by sea, probably from the world's biggest oasis in Al-Hasa, Saudi Arabia, measuring over 100 miles end to end."
He said the whole site was "baffling".
"Despite being located on the coast, there's none of the artefacts you'd expect to find, connected with fishing or pearl diving.
"Also, given that it's on a natural deep water harbour, rare on the Qatari coast, it's strange that there's no evidence of even more extensive trade links with the outside world.
"The best theory we can come up with at the moment is that Rubayqa was used as some sort of processing and storage facility for nomadic tribes who'd stock up there before wandering the deserts of the Arabian hinterland."
Almost as big a mystery surrounds who lived or worked there, and why they abandoned it.
Dr Petersen believes that documentary evidence in Turkey points towards an Ottoman Empire outpost in the area, from as early as the 15th Century.
It is thought that the Ottomans seized territory to use as a base from which to invade neighbouring Bahrain.
Qatari sources point to a major attack on Rubayqa during the 1760s by the Wahhabi tribe from what is now Saudi Arabia.
The last human occupation of the site has been dated from remains as being around the 1890s, but why it was finally left to the sands is unclear.
"We suspect that there was another major assault on Rubayqa in the 1890s, possibly even larger than the attack during the 1760s," Dr Peterson added.
"We've found burnt roofing timbers on top of day-to-day objects, which would suggest that the fires occurred suddenly, and while the buildings were still occupied.
"This is probably why the inhabitants fled, but who attacked them, and why they never came back is a mystery which can only be revealed through further excavations over the next few years." | A Welsh academic has revealed how he discovered a Middle East settlement buried under sand for about 125 years. |
Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Simon Hayes, 45, from Barnet, north London, was half-way through loading the dishwasher when he got distracted and went into another room.
He returned to the kitchen to find the not-so cunning cub seemingly stuck in the machine among the dirty dishes.
Dr Hayes, a vet, eventually ushered the "bold little thing" out using a broom after it failed to flee from the bottom trolley.
He said: "It was quite a warm evening so I had the back door open. I got distracted and went to do something else - when I came back he was there.
"He was quite a bold little thing but he looked surprised to see me coming.
"He was pretty still and he couldn't work out how to get out."
Dr Hayes moved the bottom rack to let the fox find his own way out, but the cub stayed put.
"Being a vet and not being particularly scared of animals, I tried to coax him out," he said.
As the fox wasn't moving, Dr Hayes used a broom to gently push the animal towards his escape route.
The cub's mother could be heard "calling" it from the garden, he said.
He added: "I was surprised to see him there, but we regularly see foxes nearby.
"We saw three fox cubs in the garden last summer, and we have three cats and a dog and they regularly interact with foxes."
"There is sometimes hysteria about foxes but there was no fear there other than on the fox's part." | A man was stunned when he found a fox cub trapped inside his dishwasher. |
What is a brief summary of the information below? | He thought his years as a coach of Galwegians, Connacht and Ireland had given him sufficient insight into the Irish psyche, but they hadn't.
For omitting the darling of the Irish game, the Kiwi knew that all sorts of flak was heading his way. He knew that people would object thunderously and he was ready for that. He knew that people would object to his decision on rugby terms and he was steeled to the criticism.
What he hadn't banked on was people losing the plot and accusing him of acting maliciously towards O'Driscoll in a bitter attempt to settle a score with Irish rugby following his sacking as national team coach in 2001. That stuff hurt. There was heaps of it and it was as ugly as it was unjustified.
Gatland is a tough old boy, but that allegation stung, not just professionally, but personally. He made the call to drop O'Driscoll and promote Jonathan Davies for purely rugby reasons. Rightly, as it turned out.
When Gatland decided to go with only two Scots - and a dozen Welsh - for the upcoming Lions tour to New Zealand, he did it because he feels it is the right thing to do. He'll take the grief, but let's hope the grief begins and ends with rugby without spiralling into some conspiracy theory about him having no time for the Scottish game.
For Scottish rugby, there is despondency all over the place in this selection. No Scottish forward in a Lions squad for the first time since 1908. The joint lowest number of Scots in history.
No recognition of the Scottish pack - particularly the back row, which completely outplayed the Welsh back row in the Six Nations. Wales have four back-rows and six forwards in Gatland's squad. Only two Scottish players - Stuart Hogg and Tommy Seymour - get the nod as opposed to 23 combined from Ireland and Wales, two teams that Scotland beat only a couple of months ago.
There are legitimate gripes and taking points, but is there a miscarriage of justice? It's hard to see one. Is there a player whose claim was so obvious that it's grossly unfair that he's been left out? No.
If you pick Sean Maitland then which of George North, Anthony Watson, Liam Williams, Elliot Daly and Jack Nowell are you leaving out? All of those guys deserve to travel.
Eight-times capped England centre Ben Te'o's inclusion is a talking point but if there is one player who has cause to feel aggrieved there, it's Garry Ringrose of Leinster and Ireland, not any of the Scottish centres.
Finn Russell (and England's George Ford) missed out in favour of Jonathan Sexton, Owen Farrell and Dan Biggar at 10. There is a case to be made for Russell ahead of Biggar, but it's not one you'd go to war over. Neither is the omission of Greig Laidlaw. It's a touch contentious, but not controversial.
The hookers come into the same category. In this space Fraser Brown may have been picked, but Gatland is employed to do what he thinks he needs to do and he's gone down a different road.
Rory Best is Ireland's captain, Jamie George is terrific off the bench and Ken Owens has had a decent season with Wales. Dylan Hartley, Brown and Sean Cronin, another great impact hooker, miss out. How loudly can anybody protest about Gatland's chosen three? Murmurings, sure, but it's hardly cause for revolution.
Scotland have been unlucky at tight-head prop. WP Nel surely would have gone had he been fit. Zander Fagerson had a case. He's the type of player who would have grown in stature while surrounded by Lions. Tadhg Furlong, Dan Cole and Kyle Sinckler are hard to object to.
It's debatable whether the Lions have ever had such a collection of quality locks. Include a Gray - Jonny or Richie - but who do you leave out? Alun Wyn Jones, Courtney Lawes, George Kruis or Ian Henderson - a player who just put in a thumping performance in derailing the English chariot in Dublin?
Joe Launchbury hasn't made it either. Launchbury has probably more cause to feel hard done by than either Gray, as good as the brothers have been. Donnacha Ryan, the Munster and Ireland forward, hasn't made it either. Ryan played from the start when Ireland beat New Zealand in Chicago and again when they beat England last month.
Now to the back row. CJ Stander, Maro Itoje, Sam Warburton and Peter O'Mahony are among the chosen ones who have played blind-side flanker in the Six Nations. If you're picking John Barclay, you may have to lose one of them. Who?
At open-side flanker, the selected ones are Sean O'Brien and Justin Tipuric, with Warburton available at seven as well. Hamish Watson is arguably the Scot with the biggest case. He was outstanding during the Six Nations, Alun Wyn Jones singling him out for praise for the demolition job he did on the Welsh breakdown.
But is it unfair that he's not picked - or just unlucky that so many other superb players are in his position? James Haskell also misses out. At number eight, Ross Moriarty has been picked, which was a major surprise. He had some high-profile successes, mainly his excellent performance against England, but he was tamed easily at Murrayfield.
Is there much to choose between Moriarty and Ryan Wilson? Not really. But then you look at Jamie Heaslip - a former Ireland captain, a three-time European champion, a two-time Six Nations champion and a winner against the All Blacks in November - being left out and wonder who has the biggest gripe here?
These are Gatland's calls based on what he thinks he needs to win a series in the most unforgiving terrain in world rugby. There's no stitch-up here, no agenda. In June, into July, will we know if his judgement was right. | When Warren Gatland dropped Brian O'Driscoll for the third Lions Test in Australia four years ago, he thought he knew what the reaction in Ireland was going to be, but he didn't. |

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | Former Met Police sergeant Gurpal Virdi was cleared three weeks ago of sexually abusing a boy in a police van in 1986.
Mr Virdi and his supporters claim the inquiry was maliciously motivated. Scotland Yard has denied the claims.
Tory MP Sir Peter Bottomley has written to Mrs May asking to discuss the case.
Sir Peter, who campaigns against race discrimination, said "malice" and "incompetence" may have played a part in the police investigation.
It took a jury less than an hour to clear Mr Virdi, 56, of Hounslow, west London, last month at Southwark Crown Court.
He had been accused of indecent assault and misconduct in a public office following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police.
Mr Virdi, who served in the Met for 30 years, claimed the force's investigation into the allegations was part of a "vendetta" against him.
He said: "The Met has continually campaigned to discredit me. It's twice they've tried to put me in prison and twice they've been criticised."
He also claimed there was "a culture within the Met which is racist and attacks people who tell the truth".
He was sacked in 2000 for allegedly sending racist hate mail, only to be reinstated and awarded £240,000 compensation after an employment tribunal ruled he had been the victim of racism.
During the trial, Mr Virdi accused the Met of bringing the criminal case against him as part of a 17-year campaign to "hound" him out of the force.
The retired detective claimed the police tried to discredit him after he gave evidence to the Stephen Lawrence inquiry about racism within the police force.
Mr Virdi retired from the Metropolitan Police in 2012 after 30 years of service.

But in 2016, the Home Affairs Select Committee said it had received two complaints that Mr Wright deliberately mislead the committee while giving evidence under oath in 2014 and had referred the matter to the Metropolitan Police.
The IPCC spokesperson said that following correspondence with the force it had reviewed the law and now believes the matter is within its remit.
He said: "As a result we wrote to the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Panel to ask them to re-refer the matter for our consideration.
"We have now received that referral and will make an assessment as to whether the matter requires investigation and if so, by whom."
However, he added the referral would not automatically lead to an investigation as the information would have to be assessed first
"Now that we have received a referral we can start that process [and] if the matter requires investigation, the IPCC can independently investigate the matter or manage a police force investigation," he said.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | The five-part series has received 3m requests on the catch-up service, more than the England v Wales match at Euro 2016 - which had 2.8m requests.
Seven of the 20 most popular iPlayer programmes were on BBC Three, which moved online earlier this year.
Murdered By My Father and the first episode of Greg Davies comedy Cuckoo each received more than 1.5m requests.
Other shows to pass the 1m request mark in 2016 included Fleabag, Life And Death Row, The Insider with Reggie Yates and Stacey Dooley documentary Sex In Strange Places.
BBC Three's iPlayer popularity comes in spite of it now offering fewer programmes.
When it became an online service in February, many shows - such as Don't Tell The Bride and Family Guy - were bought by other networks.
But the network continued to produce original programming for iPlayer and its other online services, including a bespoke YouTube channel.
Speaking about the latest figures, BBC Three controller Damian Kavanagh said: "These are still early days for BBC Three and I'm incredibly proud of what we have achieved in such a short space of time."
"Reinventing the BBC's offer for young people won't happen overnight, it's a marathon not a sprint, but the early signs are very encouraging."
As part of BBC Three's move online, the channel committed to spending 20% of its £30m budget on non-TV content including written articles, animations and social media content, in an attempt to attract younger audiences.
The BBC Trust, which approved the move, said there was "clear public value in moving BBC Three online, as independent evidence shows younger audiences are watching more online and watching less linear TV".
However, commercial rivals claim that the amount of time young viewers consuming BBC content has fallen since BBC Three ceased broadcasting on television.
Thinkbox TV, whose shareholders include Sky, ITV and Channel 4, published a report on Monday suggesting commercial TV viewing by young people increased after BBC Three went online.
ITV2, which broadcasts a considerable number of youth-focused programmes such as Love Island, Family Guy and Celebrity Juice, saw an increase of 27% year-on-year in time viewers spent watching the channel between March and June.

Summarize the following piece. | The former Dundee United striker and boss credits manager Mixu Paatelainen for giving the Premiership's bottom team hope.
"Mixu has got a team together that believe they can win and that's crucial," said Brewster, assistant to Derek Adams at Plymouth Argyle.
"Suddenly they have put Kilmarnock under real pressure."
United are five points behind Lee Clark's Killie with one game remaining until the league splits into a top six and bottom six.
Thereafter both teams will have five games to avoid being relegated automatically or playing either Falkirk, Hibernian or Raith Rovers from the Championship in the Premiership play-off final.
In recent weeks the Terrors have drawn 2-2 with Dundee and enjoyed a 1-0 win over St Johnstone but they lost on Tuesday to Partick Thistle despite dominating the first half.
"If they can keep bringing Kilmarnock closer and closer then they've got to believe they can do it," Brewster, 49, told BBC Radio Scotland.
"It's not looking good but they have rallied very much of late.
"It was a disappointing result the other night, but Mixu has got points and they have given themselves a real lifeline.
"I think they've got it in their grasp. They were that far out of it everybody just expected United to go down so they had nothing to lose.
"As long as they are playing well and having the belief that they can overcome it, that's the major part."
Brewster, who played for United from 1993-96 and again in 2006 when he was also the manager, said the remaining match between United and Kilmarnock will be "massive".
"No-one wants to go down but having done so well over the last few years it is a big disappointment this year to find themselves down there," he added.
"I think the chairman has already said that they would have to cut major costs off their wage bill if they do go down.
"Nobody wants to see that so they've got from now until the end of the season to make sure that doesn't happen." | Craig Brewster insists the Dundee United players must believe they can avoid relegation if they are to do so. |

The 23-year-old was taken by helicopter to Glasgow Royal Infirmary, where her condition is not known.
Fire crews were called to the blaze at a property in Lochlea Drive, Ayr, just after 16:00.
Three fire engines were sent to the scene but the flames were extinguished before the crews arrived. Police are investigating the incident.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Emergency services attended and the woman was taken by heli-med to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary for treatment.
"Her current condition is unknown. Nobody else was injured and inquiries are at early stage to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident."
The hosts lost Daniel Bell-Drummond for 49, but Dickson (210 not out) and Joe Denly (143 not out) scored freely in an unbroken 305-run second-wicket stand.
Dickson reached his century off 165 deliveries, before making his second career 200 off 280 deliveries.

"It's a no-brainer. He looks a threat and the lad's got great potential," Aldridge, a Liverpool title winner in 1988, told BBC Radio 5 live.
But he added: "We need a really big marquee signing."
England Under-21 international Ings scored 11 goals in 35 Premier League appearances for relegated Burnley in 2014-15.
With 21-year-old Belgium forward Divock Origi due at Anfield after spending the campaign on loan in France at Lille, and England's Daniel Sturridge expected back in September after a series of injuries, Aldridge believes his former club are moving in the right direction.
But the scorer of 63 goals for the Reds between 1987-89 insists Liverpool need another experienced striker after the side managed just 52 Premier League goals this season, compared with 101 in 2013-14.
"It's not happened for Mario Balotelli or Fabio Borini - Rickie Lambert is not getting any younger," said Aldridge.
"They have been very conservative in their dealings and they still have a lot of money in the account ready to spend.
"You need a striker who guarantees 20 goals a season and they don't come cheap."

He is in the city this week for an actor's workshop.
He is is looking forward to the play.
"The material we are using is pertinent to the situation here.
"It's not as though we are doing something just for culture, we are doing it for a reason.
"The notion of 'place' is very strong here, this is where something happened.
"We explore destiny, fate, murder, exploitation, origins.
"The fact there is a wall round the city is part and parcel of what is going on in the play.
"I don't think there is anybody who cannot see there are repercussions with what is happening here."
Mr Shepard said it is very important to have art and culture in a society going through transformation.

Gatland coached the Lions to victory over Australia in 2013.
Joe Schmidt led Ireland to Six Nations titles in 2014 and 2015 and is a likely challenger to fellow Kiwi Gatland.
Lions chief executive John Feehan said: "It would be absolutely ludicrous of me to say that Warren would not be the leading contender - he clearly is."
Talking to Sky, Feehan added: "If he is involved it will be a third tour for him, he has a record that is pretty much second to none in the northern hemisphere and so he has to be the leading contender."
Since Gatland took over as Wales coach, they have won three Six Nations titles and two Grand Slams.
Gatland took a sabbatical from his Wales role in 2012-13, leaving assistant Rob Howley to oversee their Six Nations title win that season.
The Wales coaching duo had also been part of Ian McGeechan's assistants when the Lions lost 2-1 to South Africa in 2009.
Beating the Wallabies was the Lions' first series win since the 1997 tour to South Africa, also coached by McGeechan.
Feehan says the home nations coaches "are a pretty good starting point" for 2017 Lions coaching contenders.
However, as a recent appointment to the England role, ex-Australia and Japan coach Eddie Jones would seem an unlikely choice.
New Zealander Vern Cotter took over as Scotland head coach in 2013 and is also seen as an outside bet to guide the Lions against former Wales coach Steve Hansen's World Cup holders.
"The four home-based coaches are a pretty good starting point," added Feehan.
"It is unlikely that we will move outside of that, but we will keep an open mind.
"We will consider any international coach who wants to be involved."
The 2017 tour manager John Spencer says appointment will be made after the four home unions' 2016 summer tours.
Spencer toured New Zealand with the 1971 Lions, the first to win a series, and the former England and Lions centre indicated the successful candidate would again be expected to take time out from his national role to lead the Lions.
"We would expect them to give 100% of their time to the Lions," said Spencer.

Give a brief summary of the content. | Lisa Graves began making the sounds in January 2008 and thought they were hiccups linked to pregnancy.
But she carried on making the sounds - which she likens to the yelp a dog makes when someone stands on it - after giving birth.
The mother-of-two is now getting help from neurologists and is due to have MRI and MRA scans on Sunday.
"The neurologists are keen to confirm whether they are hiccups or whether it might be a tic," she said.
"They sound like you've stood on a dog or something, like a dog yelping if you stood on its tail.
"Someone suggested maybe it started off as a long bout of hiccups but then became a behavioural thing."
She is also due to be admitted to hospital for a few days so her brain can be monitored while she makes the sounds.
"It's completely random. I might do 20 in an hour and then not do any in an hour," she said.
"They vary in volume. A lot of the time they are really loud."

Mr Welch was taken to the circuit's medical centre where he is reported to have died from his injuries.
The Motor Sports Association said it was investigating the accident.
A statement issued by the organisers on the Silverstone Classic website said: "All those involved in the event offer sincere condolences to family and the friends of Denis Welch at this very sad time.
"As with any serious incident in or around UK motor sport, the MSA, the organising club and the circuit operators are now working closely with the police and other agencies to establish precisely what happened."

After a scoreless first 37 minutes, the hosts broke the deadlock with a Jamie Ellis try to lead 6-0 at the break.
Ukuma Ta'ai surged through the Castleford defence to cross early in the second half, before Aaron Murphy added a third score for the Giants.
Jermaine McGillvary crossed late on while the Tigers rarely threatened.
Giants thought they had taken the lead through Joe Wardle on 23 minutes before the video referee spotted a knock on.
Ellis' pace saw him score under the posts shortly before half-time to give Huddersfield a deserved six-point lead, with Danny Brough converting.
After the break, Ta'ai collected a short pass from Brough and effortlessly shrugged off two challenges to cross for Giants' second try, with the Scotland World Cup half-back converting.
Tigers struggled to impose themselves on the game after that and Murphy ran over in the left corner to further extend the hosts' lead.
Brough missed his conversion but added two points from a penalty soon afterwards, before McGillvary added an unconverted try in the closing stages.
Castleford looked like an entirely different side to that which beat Wigan Warriors 42-14 on Friday.
The result sees Huddersfield climb to fifth in the Super League table.
Huddersfield Giants coach Paul Anderson told BBC Radio 5 live sports extra:
"Zero is always pleasing, regardless of who it is against. We are just starting to find our groove.
"Just imagine what we are capable of if we actually play well, with the ball.
"You can see they are working hard for each other, which is pleasing. If we can move a little quicker in the middle, we will be there or thereabouts."
Castleford Tigers coach Daryl Powell told BBC Radio 5 live sports extra:
"It was completely unrecognisable from the team that I have been working with for the last 18 months.
"There are times when I am struggling to fathom what we are trying to achieve in games. I thought we defended really poorly.
"I nearly fell asleep in the first half. It was a terrible game of rugby league. It is hugely disappointing. I asked for a reaction at half-time and did not get one.
"We just could not find our game at all. Clearly that type of effort is not going to get us very much at all."

The elite soldiers of the Galactic Empire swapped enforcing the New Order to try out the waves in a drizzly Gloucestershire.
It is thought key scenes from the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens were filmed in nearby Puzzlewood, in the Forest of Dean.
The Wye Valley and Forest of Dean Tourism Association seized the link to invite the "stormtroopers" to advertise its new television and movie trail.

Please summarize the following text. | Wafic Said, who was born in Syria, has also donated large sums to the Conservative Party.
The bank is understood to be concerned about holding accounts that are linked to what are described as "high-risk countries".
Mr Said has been a customer of Barclays for many years.
The Said Foundation funds a renowned business school in Oxford, as well as many humanitarian causes, and counts a former private secretary to the Prince of Wales among its trustees. So why has he been shunned?
Mr Said and his foundation have strong financial links with Syria. His family is a major shareholder in one of Syria's biggest banks and he has counted members of the family of Bashar al-Assad among his friends.
War-torn Syria is a complicated place to do business. There are a variety of US and EU sanctions regarding transferring money in and out of Syria and there are serious risks for banks that get it wrong.
Barclays concluded it was not sufficiently reassured they were in compliance with anti-money laundering and "know your client" rules.
Mr Said became well known as the broker of the UK's largest ever export deal - and one that became mired in controversy.
The so-called al-Yamamah transaction involved the sale of £43bn worth of British fighter planes to Saudi Arabia.
There were accusations of bribery, which led to an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office. That probe was terminated by Tony Blair in 2006, as it was considered counter to the UK's national interest.
There is no suggestion that Mr Said was guilty of any wrongdoing, either then or now. However, Barclays is understandably jumpy because last November, Barclays was fined £72m by the Financial Conduct Authority after it found they failed to carry out due diligence on a high-net-worth client in a transaction worth £1.9bn. But the real fear for banks is the US authorities.
In 2014, French bank BNP Paribas was fined almost $9bn for violating US sanctions against Sudan, Cuba and Iran, a severe punishment aimed at sending a clear message to other financial institutions around the world. Barclays heard it and has decided that people with Mr Said's profile are not a risk worth taking.
Barclays insist that the decision was not part of a wider systematic culling of clients with links to territories posing high regulatory risk and that decisions are being made on a case-by-case basis.
In a statement on Friday, Mr Said said he was given no justification for the bank's action and would be taking legal action against Barclays. | A billionaire businessman, philanthropist and former broker of arms deals has been told by Barclays that he can no longer bank with them. |

LinkedIn also reported a loss of $8m (£5.4m) for the year, compared with a $3m profit in 2014.
LinkedIn has been investing heavily in expansion outside the US, and said it plans to continue those efforts.
"We enter 2016 with increased focus on core initiatives that will help drive growth and scale across our portfolio," said chief executive Jeff Weiner.
The company also said it was phasing-out one of its newer advertising services that had not worked out as planned.

The strikes targeted positions in the port city of Sirte, an IS stronghold.
Libyan PM Fayez Sarraj, in a televised address, said the strikes caused "heavy losses".
Western powers have become increasingly concerned at IS's growing presence in Libya.
The air strikes are the first such US military intervention co-ordinated with the Libyan unity government.
There have been two previous US attacks on IS targets in Libya - last February and in November.
Quentin Sommerville: Gaining ground in Sirte
Life in Libya under IS
Beheadings and racial tension
Why is Libya so lawless?
The Pentagon said Monday's strikes, authorised by President Barack Obama, were in support of government forces currently fighting IS militants.
"These actions and those we have taken previously will help deny ISIL a safe haven in Libya from which it could attack the United States and our allies," the Pentagon statement continued, using another term for IS.
Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said the strikes hit "precision targets", including a tank, in response to a request from the Libyan administration in the past few days.
It now appears the US has formally started a sustained air campaign to degrade the IS group's capabilities in Sirte. The jihadists have been losing ground there in recent months, but the armed groups fighting it have been witnessing an increasingly high death toll.
An advanced air campaign could speed up the removal of IS militants from their biggest stronghold in the country. The Pentagon has carefully attributed its latest move to the unity government's request to help its forces.
But these anti-IS forces are only loosely allied to the government in Tripoli. The wider military and militia forces across Libya are still embroiled in local rivalry. In the aftermath of campaigns of this kind, the US, and other countries involved in Libya, will probably be left with more questions than answers over the stability of the country and the local forces they backed.
The government began an offensive against IS fighters in Sirte in May and said two weeks ago that it had made its largest gains to date.
Western officials say the number of IS militants in Libya, previously estimated at 6,000, is declining in the face of concerted government action and pressure from other militia.
Mr Cook said fewer than 1,000, possibly several hundred, remained in Sirte, and no US forces were on the ground in connection with "this operation".
Libya has become increasingly divided since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, with competing governments and rival militias seeking to gain territory and influence.
The chaos had left Libya vulnerable to an influx of IS fighters, many from Syria.
The United States has voiced strong backing for the unity government, or Government of National Accord, which began operating from the capital, Tripoli, in April.
US Secretary of State John Kerry declared in May that it was the "only way to generate the cohesion necessary to defeat Daesh [IS]". | LinkedIn shares dropped 26% after the company projected lower than expected profits for the first quarter of 2016.

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Hairdresser Kandi du Cros died on 20 January 2014 in hospital in Cornwall after developing a fever and vomiting.
It was "probable" the surgery triggered a flare up of a rare autoimmune disorder which led to multiple organ failure, the inquest in Truro heard.
However, undergoing the operation was not "unreasonable," a consultant said.
More on the mother who felt 'poisoned', and other Cornwall news
Mrs du Cros, from St Austell, had felt progressively unwell in the week following her cosmetic surgery at the Duchy Hospital in Truro until she "looked absolutely awful" and "could barely walk", her husband Raymond du Cros told the inquest.
In a statement he said she had told her mother: "Mum, it feels like I'm being poisoned".
The mother of one, who suffered from a "very rare" connective tissue disease, was taken to the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Treliske, by ambulance and died four days later, the inquest heard.
She had called NHS 111 and visited a GP in the days before and was told she had a viral infection which did not require immediate action, Mr du Cros said.
Giving evidence, Dr David Hutchinson, rheumatology lead at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, said: "In my opinion there was definitely clear evidence, clinically, of three failing organs in a short period of time."
He said he believed there was "a real probability" the trauma of surgery had led to a flare up of her disorder.
However he added: "Undergoing the breast surgery was not unreasonable given the information that was at hand at the time", he added.
Mr du Cros said he had many questions about why medical professionals did not seem to identify the severity of his wife's condition sooner.

Kevin Wilson has alleged Cher told him the tour had "too much colour" already.
Mr Wilson and two other dancers have also alleged they were fired for reporting a sexual assault on a female fan by another dancer.
"The accusations are ridiculous," Cher's publicist said. "They couldn't be further from the truth."
The trio are seeking $10m (£6.1m) in damages.
Mr Wilson and fellow dancer Suzanne Easter have claimed race discrimination over their firing, while fellow dancer Jacquely Dowsett Ballinger, 42, has alleged age discrimination, although they were told it was to cut costs from the tour.
Their lawyer, Perry C Wander, said: "The allegations are made by long term employees who have been on tour with Cher for over a decade."
He told TMZ: "Cher, while reviewing audition tapes, stated that the tour had too much colour and the choreographer was prohibited from casting any dark-skinned or African Americans even if they were better qualified than other counterparts."

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | Centre Roberts was dropped for the first time since 2009 following the 32-8 defeat by Australia in the first autumn international on 5 November.
Roberts, who wins his 85th cap on Saturday, took the blame for a poor defensive show against the Wallabies.
Warburton said: "I think you're going to see Jamie running some pretty hard lines."
"I think you'll definitely see a reaction from players like Jamie this weekend and players like Dan Lydiate for example," he added.
Warburton will captain Wales for the 49th time on Saturday when they play their third autumn international Test.
"There'll be a few of those guys with a bee in their bonnet, but I think that's a good thing," Warburton added.

Warburton missed the defeat against Australia as he made a staged return from injury, but played blindside in a team captained by Gethin Jenkins in the 24-20 win over Argentina.
He returns to the openside against Japan and said the poor display against Australia and the way senior players like Roberts and Lydiate were dropped afterwards means there will be no complacency.
"You never want to become comfortable in a Welsh jersey," he added.
"Players now, including myself, know that when you take that field you feel you have to prove your worth because you know otherwise - and it's been proved in this campaign - one bad performance and you can lose your shirt."
Japan created one of the biggest shocks in the history of rugby when they beat South Africa 34-32 in the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
They also beat a weakened Wales team 23-8 the last time they met in 2013.
But only eight of the side that beat the Springboks are in the current squad and they were beaten 54-20 by Argentina on 5 November.
Warburton says Wales are treating Saturday's game "like a World Cup match", with South Africa to come on 26 November.
"If we get a three-point opportunity we'll take it and not be disrespectful and go for the corner," he said.
"We want to play a bit more expansive rugby and score nice tries, but that might not happen at all in the game, it depends how the game goes."

Please summarize the document below. | Three goals in five minutes either side of half-time ensured the points went back to Rome.
The win keeps Roma's slim hopes of denying Juve a sixth straight Serie A title alive.
There are five games left in the Italian league season, with Roma - who still have to play Lazio and AC Milan - hosting their Turin rivals on May 14.
Kevin Strootman broke the deadlock in the 44th minute as he fired home from a central position and before Pescara could gather themselves, Radja Nainggolan doubled the lead on the stroke of half-time.
Three minutes into the second half, Mohamed Salah's shot from outside the area found the bottom left corner of Vincenzo Fiorillo's net and it was the Egyptian again to score Roma's fourth on the hour mark.
Roma passed up a series of chances to add to their lead and instead it was Pescara who had the final word, with Ahmad Benali turning in Ledian Memushaj's cross with seven minutes left.
The result means Pescara are relegated to Serie B.

"Pulis has made a career of keeping Premier League clubs up from troubled positions through sheer organisation.
"I'm not saying Eddie doesn't have those qualities. He does. But this is the first time his team looks in real trouble at this level. He needs to pull defenders with fine individual spirit into a more cohesive unit.
"They need to be tighter here. I expect them to be so."
West Brom head coach Tony Pulis: "Bournemouth are in a reasonable position. They'll want to get a few results to be safe but I think they will be okay.
"For the previous two seasons [our] home form wasn't as good as we wanted. We've turned it round and scored plenty of goals.
"There are few things better than winning games and scoring goals in front of your home fans. We've done that and that's nice."
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "You can't hide from the current form and it's up to us to bounce back and show what we can do.
"West Brom have ground out some great results and they've added real quality. Tony's teams are always hard to beat."
Bournemouth are on a slippery slope, without a league win this year.

Many places have seen record river levels over the past 24 hours, including the River Aire in Leeds, and the rivers Calder and Ribble, affecting places such as Whalley, Hebden Bridge and Ribchester.

The energy provider said Friday's lack of coal usage was a "watershed" moment.
Britain's longest continuous energy period without coal until now was 19 hours - first achieved last May, and again on Thursday.
The government plans to phase out Britain's last plants by 2025 in order to cut carbon emissions.
Friday is thought to be the first time the nation has not used coal to generate electricity since the world's first centralised public coal-fired generator opened in 1882, at Holborn Viaduct in London.
Cordi O'Hara of the National Grid said: "To have the first working day without coal since the start of the industrial revolution is a watershed moment in how our energy system is changing.
"The UK benefits from highly diverse and flexible sources of electricity. Our energy mix continues to change and National Grid adapts system operation to embrace these changes."
But Ms O'Hara says that while the country makes the transition to a low carbon system, coal remains an important source of energy.
According to Gridwatch.co.uk, around half of British energy on Friday came from natural gas, with about a quarter coming from nuclear plants.
Wind, biomass, and imported energy were also used.
By John Moylan, BBC industry correspondent
Coal has powered Britain for more than a century.
But Friday's landmark moment - the first 24 hour period without any coal powered generation - is a sign of how the once mighty fuel is being consigned to history.
Part of the reason is that solar panels and wind turbines now provide much more electricity to factories and homes. Lower power demand is a factor too - that's normal on a Friday.
And as older, uneconomic coal fired plants have closed in recent years, the fossil fuel has been playing a much smaller role in our energy system.
The last deep coal mine in the UK, Kellingley Colliery in North Yorkshire, closed in December 2015, bringing to an end centuries of deep coal mining in Britain.
Hannah Martin, from Greenpeace UK, said: "A decade ago, a day without coal would have been unimaginable, and in 10 years' time our energy system will have radically transformed again."
Coal remained a dominant part of the energy supply until the 1990s, but its use has fallen in recent years, as plants closed or switched to burning biomass such as wood pellets.
It accounted for just 9% of electricity generation in 2016 - down from 23% the year before.
However, there have been claims that using wood pellets to generate electricity is actually speeding up, not slowing down, climate warming.
A study published by Chatham House in February said wood is not carbon neutral and emissions from pellets are higher than coal, making pellet use a flawed policy.
The energy industry rejected the report, saying that wood energy cuts carbon significantly compared with fossil fuels.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | Next Thing wants $50,000 to finish development of the credit-card sized Chip computer.
The first versions will have a 1Ghz processor, 512MB of Ram and 4GB of onboard storage.
The gadget, due to go on general release in early 2016, could become yet another rival to the popular Raspberry Pi barebones computer.
The Chip shares some technical elements with the Pi in that it is built around an Arm chip but it includes some networking technologies, such as wi-fi and Bluetooth 4.0, that are not present on the standard Raspberry configuration.
The gadget can run a version of the Linux operating system and connects to monitors and displays via a basic composite connector.
Next Thing is also planning to make a version of the Chip into a handheld gadget called the Pocket Chip that will sell for about $49.
The first finished Chip boards are due to reach backers in December. Though some people who sign up to be a "kernel hacker" backer will get theirs in September.
Since launching on Kickstarter, the project has proved popular and has already exceeded its funding goal.
Currently almost 13,000 people have pledged more than $645,000 (£416,000) to the project.
But experts warned that the Chip's low price tag only covered the basic board.
Writing on hardware news site Bit-Tech, Gareth Halfacree said the Chip had "sacrificed a few features" in its desire to be smaller and cheaper than the Pi.
He pointed out that beefing up the graphical abilities to match the Pi raised the price to $24 - far closer to the $35 that the Raspberry Pi 2 costs.
He added that shipping charges outside the US could also make the Chip more expensive than it first appeared.
The computer is also launching into a market getting increasingly crowded with small, powerful computers.
These range from barebones boards aimed at hardware hackers through to entire computers on USB sticks chips made by Intel and Google.
The Chip computer is the second project Next Thing has funded via Kickstarter.
Its first was a digital camera called Otto powered by the Raspberry Pi.

Please summarize the given passage. | Police were called to investigate the sudden death of Patrick Dowds, a man in his 60s, on the farm in Toulett, near Burt, in County Donegal on Wednesday.
It is understood he was attacked by the bull as he was inspecting fields.
His twin brother, George, who lived with him on the farm, was taken to Letterkenny General Hospital.
Charlie Doherty, a friend of the Dowds and a neighbouring farmer, said Patrick had gone out to feed the cattle as normal but had not returned home.
It was then that his brother George alerted some neighbours and they went to look for him.
"They seen the nuts used to feed the cattle and the bucket was still there, and not realising that the bull had killed Patrick they went into the field and the bull attacked George," said Charlie.
"The bull threw George into the air and had him on the ground.
"He rolled away from him and then the neighbours' shouting distracted the bull so George was able to get away to safety."
Mr Doherty said the whole community was in shock
"Patrick would be a very happy-go-lucky fella, he was always up for the craic and the banter," he said.
"It's really sad to hear it. It's just a real tragedy and I know the community will rally round and help the family but it's a real shock.
"Both of them lived together, they were single men living at the home farm.
"This is a real farming area and this just shows what a dangerous job it can be. Patrick went out like he went out every other day, thinking he'd come home."
The Donegal Chairman of the Irish Farmers Association, Michael Chance, who knows the family, said it was a tragic accident.
"The man went out yesterday to look at his cattle and, sadly, it appears the bull turned on him with tragic consequences," he said.
"Certain breeds of bulls are considered dangerous. This was a Charolais bull which would normally be considered one of the more docile breeds, but any bull can turn nasty.

He leaves with Palace in the relegation zone after a 3-1 home defeat by Southampton on Boxing Day.
Assistant manager Keith Millen will be in charge for the trip to Queens Park Rangers on Sunday.
It is understood Palace are looking to appoint a permanent successor as soon as possible.
A club statement read: "The club would like to put on record its thanks to Neil for all his hard work and energy over the past four months."
Phil McNulty, chief football writer: "Crystal Palace's decision to appoint Neil Warnock was always laced with risk - a manager arguably out of his time in Premier League terms and favouring an abrasive style best suited to the rigours of the Championship.
"And so it has proved, making his sacking an inevitability if Palace wanted to avoid the sort of relegation threat Tony Pulis saved them from so brilliantly last season.
"How Palace chairman Steve Parish must wish he could have come to some sort of agreement to keep Pulis - and how he must wish he could lure him back now. Sadly for Palace, this seems a non-starter."
Caretaker manager Keith Millen: "It is not a nice position to be in again, that's for sure. It was a surprise this morning when I arrived to get the call from the chairman to let me know the situation.
"I saw Neil this morning and we had a good chat before he went. It's a sad time and a very difficult one for all the staff because when he came in he kept us on as part of his backroom team. We are all disappointed but we have all got to move on quickly with this game coming up so soon."
Mark Bright, former Palace striker: "I had never heard Selhurst Park as quiet as it was yesterday. There seemed to be a lack of confidence. The manner of the defeat was really disappointing.

Provide a brief summary of this section. | The Perse School says the 17-year-old boys "attempted to keep some items which they had found on the ground".
They were detained at the site on Monday and released with suspended prison sentences on Tuesday.
The school said the pupils had been fined about £170.
A spokesman for the school said they had been given a year's probation, suspended for three years.
Headmaster Ed Elliott said: "There will be a full and thorough investigation into what occurred. I want to hear directly from the boys as to what led them to take these items.
"I want to ensure that all necessary lessons are learnt. The opportunity to be able to visit Holocaust sites carries with it the duty to treat those sites with the utmost respect and sensitivity."
The teenagers were charged with unlawfully possessing items of special cultural importance, which carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence.
The BBC's Adam Easton in Warsaw said that, as with similar cases in the past, the boys were given suspended sentences and released.
"Incidents like this happen about once or twice a year, museum staff said, despite the fact notices warn visitors not to pick anything up."
Guards at the Auschwitz-Birkenau site, which is now a museum, saw the pupils picking up items from the ground near a building where Nazi German guards had stored prisoners' confiscated belongings.
Our correspondent said the grassy area once housed the storerooms where the belongings of Jews sent to the gas chambers were kept.
"When police searched the pair they found buttons, a rusted hair clipper, and fragments of spoons and glass," he added.
The independent Perse School said the boys, who were on a history trip to Poland, were being supported by the deputy head and had co-operated fully with the Polish authorities.
A spokesman said: "We understand they have explained that they picked up the items without thinking, and they have apologised unreservedly for the offence they have given, and expressed real remorse for their action".
The headmaster had previously apologised for "any thoughtless and offensive behaviour by these two pupils."
Karen Pollock, chief executive of the Holocaust Education Trust, said: "Every single artefact found at Auschwitz-Birkenau tells a story of the more than a million people who were ruthlessly murdered by the Nazis there and this incident serves to show why our work is crucial now more than ever.
"We have a duty to educate the next generation to prevent ignorance and hate, and in over 15 years of organising for thousands of British teenagers to visit Auschwitz-Birkenau, we have never known of such an incident."
The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum was founded in 1947 and has more than 80,000 British visitors each year.
Curators say some visitors try to take artefacts as souvenirs.
In 2010, a Swedish man was jailed for plotting the theft of the "Arbeit macht frei" ("Work sets you free") sign from the entry gate of the Auschwitz site.
Auschwitz-Birkenau, located near the city of Krakow in southern Poland, was the largest camp established by the Germans during the Second World War.
Some 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were killed there between 1940 and 1945, when Soviet troops liberated it.

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Ruth Walsh says her local children's centre almost literally saved her life.
A lone parent living in West London, she became profoundly depressed after the birth of her son Billy, now two.
She began to turn a corner, she thinks, when an outreach worker from a Sure Start programme almost "dragged" her to a mother and baby session.
"Without that, I was heading for a very, very dark place, and I'm not sure that I would even still be here, to be quite honest. I certainly wouldn't be the mother I am to Billy," she says.
"I interacted and played with Billy more when I was in the children's centre than I possibly did at home. It encouraged me and showed me the best way to do that.
"And for me, it became somewhere to go," she adds. "It was a place of human contact."
The Sure Start programme was set up by the Labour government in the late 1990s, and today there are 3,500 children's centres in England which are run under its auspices.
But while parents across the country - including Ruth Walsh - are campaigning against council cuts which could threaten the future of many of the centres, some academics are questioning whether they have really changed the lives of the poorest children as much as politicians hoped they would.
Huge claims were made for Sure Start in its early years - that it would cut child poverty, reduce social exclusion and even save money by creating well-balanced youngsters who would be less likely to get involved in crime.
It was hoped the programme would also bring benefits to health, education and family life.
But 12 years after the first Sure Start centres opened, one leading academic who was part of the government's official evaluation of the scheme says there is still no clear evidence it has helped children.
Sir Michael Rutter, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at King's College, London, told BBC Radio 4's Analysis programme that he has doubts:

"The fact that the parents liked it - and I think by and large they did like it and do like it - is not enough.
"It was set up to improve the outcomes for children."
Asked what evidence there was that Sure Start was helping children, Sir Michael replies: "We don't know - that is still lacking."
One major problem, he says, was that ministers ignored calls for a properly controlled evaluation of the programme - in which children would have been randomly assigned to a Sure Start or a non-Sure Start group.
He accuses Labour of deliberately ignoring the possibility the programme might not work:
"Academics were I think pretty unanimous in their view that a randomised controlled trial was the way ahead. But government vetoed that - I guess probably because evidence that it was less than perfect would be unwelcome."
Evidence from the evaluation, which has now been running for ten years, has shown some positive results for children.
A study published in December 2010, comparing five year-olds in Sure Start areas with their contemporaries in non-Sure Start areas, found there were fewer obese children in the areas where the programme had run. And parents felt there had been a number of benefits - they said their children were healthier and better behaved.
But the study found no measurable improvement in Sure Start children's assessment scores when they started school. And mothers in Sure Start areas were actually more likely to report depressive symptoms, while parents covered by the scheme were less likely to attend school parents' evenings.
The study compared children in Sure Start areas with children in similarly-poor non-Sure Start areas.
Professor Edward Melhuish of Birkbeck College, London, who leads the National Evaluation of Sure Start, says there has been some progress.
But he admits the evidence could have been more positive: "I wouldn't say it was a complete ringing endorsement."
"We've been operating Sure Start for roughly ten years. We've overcome some of the problems, but still there's a great deal of room for further improvement."
Despite the question mark that still hangs over the evidence for Sure Start, the coalition government has underlined its commitment to keeping it - though it has handed control of funding to local authorities, some of which have decided to make cuts.
Sarah Teather, the Children's Minister, told the BBC more research was needed because the evaluations published so far had only covered Sure Start's first few years.
"But I do think that there's an awful lot more that we need to do to improve the way in which children's centres are targeting those children and families who most need that support," she says.
"What happens to you in your early years can often define your life chances both for good and sometimes, sadly, for bad as well."
Last week Ms Teather announced a slimming-down of the early years curriculum, progress checks for all two-year-olds and payment by results for children's centres.
She said the centres would move away from their early aim of cutting child poverty: "We want them to focus on parents' aspirations and skills because the evidence says that's what makes the difference.
"And we also want centres to be more responsive to local need, so we want parents to be more involved in decisions," she says.
Parents like Ruth Walsh are pleased the government is committed to the programme - but is concerned that the funding for Sure Start is not ring-fenced, leaving budget decisions to cash-strapped local councils.
She still believes her local centre is making a huge difference.
"It would be a crime to lose it," she says. "I know in my heart, in my soul, that it's benefited my child. I've seen other children come to the children's centre and they develop and they grow and they become socialised.
"If it does just help parents, it is of huge value. But that is not the true picture."

Provide a summary of the section below. | It will invest £2bn in Orthios Eco Parks to develop waste power and food stations, initially at Holyhead and Port Talbot in Wales.
The company also said it would invest £3.2bn in developing an amusement park in Ebbsfleet, Kent.
The deals coincide with Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Britain that starts on Monday.
Development of the amusement park should begin in 2017 and should be completed by 2020, SinoFortone said.
The two power plants in Wales will be developed over the next three years, after which the technology will be rolled out to China and developing countries.
The modular plants take waste heat from power stations that will be used to warm water for king prawn farming. The UK currently imports king prawns.
Other types of seafood, such as Dover Sole, will follow while the process can also be used to help grow vegetables.
The system is also designed to capture carbon dioxide emissions.
The 299 megawatt Holyhead plant in Anglesey will employ at least 500 people, as will the 349 megawatt Port Talbot plant in south Wales, Orthios chief Sean McCormick told the BBC.
Thousands more people will be employed building the plants, he said.
In exchange for the investment, Orthios will source between 50% and 60% of the materials and components needed to build the plants from China.
"We have spent five years researching and developing this model and the investment from China will help us role it out across the planet," said Mr McCormick.
"China's focus on green energy and its ability to take a long-term view [was instrumental in securing the deal]."
SinoFortone Group is a private company that has received support from the Chinese state for this investment.
This summer it announced a £250m provisional agreement with The London Group to invest in tourist infrastructure in the UK.
"We were impressed with the Orthios professional team and how much research and development they have invested in their unique Combined Food and Power solution," said Dr Peter Zhang, SinoFortone chief executive.
"Orthios have developed a modular, efficient and scalable deliverable solution for food and power production.
"With us and the Chinese state as their backers, we are confident we can maximize efficiencies and provide a production facility to deliver this solution around the world." | Chinese investment group SinoFortone plans to invest more than £5bn in the UK. |

It follows complaints that it wrongly cut payments to hundreds of claimants.
On Wednesday, DUP MP Gavin Robinson said the 1,800 Belfast-based staff were not informed about the decision.
Speaking in the House of Commons, the Belfast East MP said: "Can I ask you to reflect how appalling it was that members of staff, many of whom are my constituents, found out this news last night by a tweet by the BBC - as opposed to any communication from Concentrix or indeed any statement to this House?"
Financial Secretary Jane Ellison told MPs: "The contract is not going to be renewed - it's not been terminated.
"To that extent, the consideration of whether any contract is renewed is something that takes place in the normal course of events.
"At the same time as we shine a light on areas where performance is unacceptable, it's also really important that we take the chance to reflect that many people are working hard to do their job as well as possible."
The contract awarded to Concentrix, worth between £55m and £75m on a payment by results basis, will come to an end in May 2017.
In the eight months until then, Concentrix will work on clearing outstanding cases, said HMRC.
Concentrix said it had operated "within the guidance set by HMRC".
In a statement, the company said it remained "committed to Belfast" and that it believes Belfast is "an excellent base for our operations in the UK and beyond".

Long-term injury curtailed Cooper's progress and he departed Merseyside unfulfilled. He returned to Dingwall, moved on to Falkirk and most recently St Mirren before finding himself unattached in this close season.
At the age of 24, his career is in limbo. This week he will endeavour to further it at Broadwood Stadium, Clyde's home ground, which is staging the 10-day PFA Scotland showcase and exit trials, a chance for player to impress attending coaches, managers and agents.
Cooper stands out. He is creative and athletic. Amongst this squad of players, he seems a cut above. Mark Wilson, the former Celtic and Dundee United defender who is overseeing the trials as head coach, certainly thinks so.
"It's their chance to shine," Wilson said. "Alex Cooper's come in and been a leader right away. You can see his ability.
"Sometimes you look at these players and think, 'why are you here? You should be signed up somewhere'."
Cooper's career is far from finished and there is every chance he will be given an opportunity.
His story is a helpful reminder for youngsters pursuing their dream that it may not become a reality, even when presented with a chance at a club with the stature of Liverpool.
"There's been a lot of down times where I've been really frustrated and upset by things that are happening," said Cooper.
"I've put so much into it and kind of dedicated myself to it and I really want to try and make it work.
"I'm committed to try and stick to it as long as possible."
The trials culminate in a match next Saturday, 18 June, where the attendant coaches and managers can assess what's on offer.
There have been successes. Midfielder Iain Davidson earned a two-year contract at Raith Rovers last summer after being released by Dundee.

Summarize the provided information. | Last year NHS trusts recorded their biggest ever overspend, but accounts for the first quarter of 2016-17 suggest they have started getting their finances back on track.
A deficit of £461m was accrued compared with over £900m this time last year.
But NHS leaders said this had only been achieved after a big cash injection.
Hospitals, where most of the problems are being seen, along with ambulances, mental health units and community services are being given access to a special one-off £1.8bn fund this year to help them get deficits back under control.
And this appears to have enabled them to get much closer to balancing the books.
The figures, from the regulator NHS Improvement, cover the period April to June and account for two-thirds of the health budget, as spending on GPs, training, drugs and public health are accounted for separately.
Last year was the worst on record for the NHS in England in terms of finances. Three months into 2016-17, and the accounts look much rosier.
But the message from within the health service is don't be fooled. First, NHS trusts have an incentive to be optimistic at this early stage - it allows them to access the £1.8bn "bailout" pot set aside for them.
Secondly, in the coming years the budget rises for the NHS will be much smaller than the one seen this year. Unless something is done to stem the rise in demand being seen, a return to large overspends seems inevitable, many believe.

But despite the improvement, hospital bosses warned the heath service was not yet out of the woods.
A survey by NHS Providers, which represents NHS trusts, found a number of finance directors were still struggling despite the cash injection.
Some 84 finance directors - a third of the total - took part with one in five saying they were in a worse position than expected.
And nearly four in 10 said they did not think they could meet the financial targets that had been set by regulators for this year, with another third unsure whether they could.
NHS Providers chief executive Chris Hopson said it was "positive news" that the runaway deficits had slowed after the record £2.45bn overspend posted at the end of 2015-16.
But he said the survey showed things could still deteriorate in the future.
"These findings show the strain NHS trusts are operating under. There is now a clear and widening gap between what the NHS is required to deliver and the funding available."
And he predicted the situation would "only get worse" in the coming years as the annual budget increases for the rest of the Parliament after 2016-17 were going to be much more modest than the £3.8bn extra put in this year, which had allowed ministers to set aside the £1.8bn pot specially for NHS trusts.
He said in the long term, the "sums simply don't add up" and called for a debate about funding and what the NHS could and should provide.
Richard Murray, of the King's Fund think tank, said while the financial figures had improved, performance on many other measures such as waiting times was worsening, with hospital bed occupancy "eye-wateringly high".
A Department of Health spokesperson said: "The NHS is making progress towards balancing the books, but there is no room for complacency.
"That's why it needs to stick to its strong financial plan, supported by our £10bn investment and series of measures to help hospitals become more efficient and reduce the use of expensive agency staff." | Health bosses are warning the NHS in England is still in a precarious position despite an upturn in its financial performance in recent months. |

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said the bailout would "address longstanding challenges".
Egypt's President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi is facing high unemployment and a budget deficit of 12% of GDP.
The country has struggled to attract foreign investment since the political turmoil in 2011 and the so-called Arab Spring, which saw former president Hosni Mubarak overthrown.
Tourism - traditionally a leading source of income for Egypt - has declined sharply over the past five years.
Last week Egypt floated its currency in a move that reduced its value by almost 50% against the dollar in an attempt to strengthen confidence in the economy.
The government also increased interest rates by three percentage points to 14.75%, and raised the price of basic commodities and fuel.
The moves led to widespread criticism of the president and a drop in his popularity. A big security operation was put in place in Cairo to pre-empt mass demonstrations that had been expected on Friday.
Ms Lagarde said the latest "home-grown economic plan" was intended to tackle the country's large budget deficit, low growth and high unemployment rate.
She said that further reforms, such as reductions in fuel subsidies and legislation to reduce Egypt's public sector wage bill, were necessary for the country to move forward.
"Resolute implementation of the policy package is essential to restore investor confidence," Ms Lagarde said.

Give a brief summary of the following article. | Shona Illingworth, who was born in Denmark and grew up in the Scottish Highlands, collaborated with neuropsychologists on the film project.
Lesions in the Landscape explores the loss of individual and cultural memory.
It features a woman called Claire who suffers from the effects of amnesia. Illingworth took her to St Kilda to film her on the archipelago.
People lived permanently on St Kilda for thousands of years until the last left 85 years ago.
The group of small islands and towering sea stacks lies 40 miles (64km) west of North Uist in the Western Isles.
A spokesperson for the arts project said: "In collaboration with neuropsychologists Martin A Conway and Catherine Loveday, Illingworth has worked with and filmed Claire, who, following a trauma to her brain can no longer remember most of her past, create new memories or recognise anyone - not even herself.
"The sudden end to Claire's access to her memories echoes the evacuation of the inhabitants of the remote Scottish archipelago of St Kilda on 29 August 1930, ending over 2,000 years of continuous habitation.
"Both mark an abrupt and irreversible lesion in a cultural landscape."

"Being a young coach, I feel very lucky to work with coaches of the calibre of Gregor [Townsend] and Dave [Rennie, the incoming Glasgow Warriors head coach] and hope I can contribute to further successes for both Scotland and Glasgow on the pitch."
Townsend takes charge of the Warriors for the final time at Scotstoun against Edinburgh in the last Pro12 game of the season and the second leg of the 1872 Cup.

Summarize the information in the following section. | Adults with ADHD given supplements for eight weeks had a "modest" improvement in concentration span, hyperactivity, and other symptoms, a small-scale study found.
A wide range of nutrients, including vitamin D, iron and calcium, may improve brain functioning, said psychologists in New Zealand.
Another study found medication reduced road accidents in men with ADHD.
As many as one in 20 adults has ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder), marked by symptoms such as lack of attention, concentration difficulties and impulsiveness.
ADHD can be treated with medications, such as central nervous system stimulants, which affect the brain and improve symptoms.
According to the research, published in The British Journal of Psychiatry, taking a broad range of vitamins and minerals may also help reduce ADHD symptoms.
In the study, 80 adults with ADHD were given either supplements containing vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, magnesium, ferritin, iron, calcium, zinc and copper, or a dummy pill.
After eight weeks of treatment those on supplements reported greater improvements in both their inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity compared with those taking the placebo.
Psychologists from the University of Canterbury, in Christchurch, say the effects of vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) are more modest than medication but may be useful for some people, particularly those seeking alternative treatments.
"Our study provides preliminary evidence of the effectiveness for micronutrients in the treatment of ADHD symptoms in adults," said Prof Julia Rucklidge, who led the study.
"This could open up treatment options for people with ADHD who may not tolerate medications, or do not respond to first-line treatments."
Philip Asherson, professor in molecular psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, said the suggestion that vitamins and minerals improved brain metabolism was intriguing but needed further investigation.
"It's a good study, which is very interesting, but really needs replicating," he told the BBC. "The mechanisms behind it remain unclear."
Meanwhile, a separate study on ADHD in Sweden suggests medication could save lives on the road.
Research indicated almost half of transport accidents involving men with ADHD could be avoided if they were taking medication for their condition.
Scientists from the Karolinska Institute studied 17,000 individuals with ADHD over a period of four years using data from health registers.
They found individuals with ADHD had a higher risk of being involved in serious transport accidents, such as car or motorcycle crashes, compared with those without ADHD.
Transport accidents were lower among men with ADHD who were on medication than among men with ADHD who did not take medication.
Calculations showed 41% of transport accidents involving men with ADHD could have been avoided if they had received medication and carried on taking it during the course of the study.
A similar effect was not found in women.
"Even though many people with ADHD are doing well, our results indicate that the disorder may have very serious consequences," said Henrik Larsson, associate professor at the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics.
"Our study also demonstrates in several different ways that the risk of transport accidents in adult men with ADHD decreases markedly if their condition is treated with medication."
The research is published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says global sea temperatures were fractionally higher than for June last year while land temperatures tied.
Its global temperature records date back 137 years, to 1880.
Most scientists attribute the increases to greenhouse gas emissions.
They also say climate change is at least partially to blame for a number of environmental disasters around the world.
The combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for June was 0.9C above the 20th Century average of 15.5C, the NOAA said in its monthly report.

Police said Mik Parslow, from Oxford, sustained multiple life-threatening injuries in the crash which happened on a bend of the A4095 in Oxfordshire.

On Facebook, his father Eric Parslow, thanked people for their messages of support after the "horrendous" crash.
He wrote: "He had multiple injuries from head-to-toe and the hospital spent many hours to stabilize him. Being kept sedated and on life support throughout.
"After four days with more surgery his scans revealed that his brain had been damaged to a point beyond recovery.
"Even had his broken body healed there was no hope for any sort of life. The decision was made to remove the life support and allow him to slip away peacefully."
Mik Parslow, who lived in Oxford, was described as "a great MR2 enthusiast" by the Malaysia Toyota MR2 Club.
In a Facebook post the group said: "[We] would like to pay our respects to Mik Parslow... who tragically passed away."

Critics said the Forest Heath District Council's Core Strategy Development Plan would destroy the unique, horse-friendly character of the town.
Racehorse owner Lord Derby wanted to build about 1,200 houses, a hotel, park and ride scheme and a retail park on the 160-acre Hatchfield Farm site.
Mr Justice Collins said an EU planning directive had not been complied with.
The judge quashed the proposed central housing policy of the core strategy as it affects Newmarket.
He said a strategic environmental assessment did not contain all the relevant information.
Forest Heath District Council had adopted the new housing strategy in May last year.
The council was refused leave to appeal.
Lord Derby had supported the new strategy and applied for planning permission for the houses, hotel, park-and-ride scheme and retail park.
His planning application was refused, but the appeal process is continuing and could be affected by the High Court's decision.
Previously racehorse trainers and prominent figures in the racing world had said the extra traffic caused by the development would make it unsafe for the 3,000 horses that cross Newmarket's roads each day.
They also said urban development would ultimately lead to the demise of Newmarket as a racing town.
Lord Derby said he believed the development was the best way to meet targets for new homes, and the last thing he intended to do was threaten the town. | The moment a van did a three-point-turn on the A14 has been captured by a driver's in-car camera.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | The shop on Glasgow's Buchanan Street opened three years ago but the Californian-based company has told staff it is closing the outlet.
Retailer H&M has announced it will move into the property as it opens a new flagship store.
H&M will also retain its existing unit in nearby Buchanan Galleries to house one of its other brands.
A spokeswoman for Forever 21 said: ""Forever 21 is constantly evaluating our portfolio of stores and has proposed one recent store closure in Glasgow.
"We made the proposal to close this store after careful consideration of the long-term profitability of the particular location.
"Forever 21 operates multiple stores across Europe, where our customers will continue to have access to the fast fashion they have come to love and expect from Forever 21."
Owners of the Buchanan Quarter building said there had been strong demand from parties interested in the 65,000sq ft space being vacated by Forever 21.
A spokesman for Land Securities said: "Immediately following the Forever 21 decision to exit, we received strong interest in the store on Buchanan Street and subsequently let the unit to H&M as a flagship.
"The strong demand for the space reinforces Glasgow city centre's position as the UK's top retail destination outside London."
H&M country manager Carlos Duarte said: "We are delighted to be relocating to 185 Buchanan Street. This is a very exciting opportunity to expand our brand.
"The store will offer something for everyone, no matter your age, budget or personal style."
But while he is perfectly at home in the Treasury, the government has little to be relaxed about. As a new team, in Number 11 and Number 10, there is a clear political desire to show Theresa May means it when she promises to help families struggling to make ends meet.
But one Cabinet source said there is even less money than in 2010, when there famously was "no money left".
There may be concessions to some, but don't expect any largesse.
Despite the change in personnel and a willingness to borrow a fraction more, this is still a Tory administration determined to pare back public spending.
With the Treasury belief that the question marks of Brexit make that task even harder, Mr Hammond will pursue caution over flashing taxpayers' cash.
This is still a big moment for the government - its first grand set piece financial statement.
But the sense of occasion may be muted, given the chancellor's character. As one cabinet minister noted, he is unlike George Osborne as he is without "imperial ambitions".
He does not have an eye on the job next door. So compared with recent statements it may be less grand in ambition, with less direct detail of how government should behave and spend.
But in no way does that mean the task Mr Hammond has ahead is any less enormous. With the uncertainties of leaving the EU, perhaps the challenge for the 2016 Treasury is greater still. | Fashion retailer Forever 21 is to shut its flagship Scottish store where it employs 75 people.

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | The 10 trees have been nominated by members of the public for the competition run by the Woodland Trust charity.
A public vote will decide the winner, which will then compete against trees from across the Continent for the title of European Tree of the Year.
The online voting ends on 9 October.
The Woodland Trust said a panel of experts whittled down 200 public nominations based on the nominees' story,
The winning tree will benefit from a care grant of £1,000 and any tree receiving over 1,000 votes will receive a grant of £500.
Nominations include the "Sycamore Gap" tree near Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland. It appeared alongside Kevin Costner in the 1991 film Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.
Another finalist is a tree in Sheffield which is threatened with felling as part of the city's street improvement scheme.
Local campaigner Paul Selby, who nominated the tree, said "Reaching the shortlist for Tree of the Year highlights the national importance and recognition of the Chelsea Road Elm Tree.
Another nominee that was facing the axe is the Seven Dials Elm tree in Brighton.
The 130 year old tree was due to be chopped down as part of a new road scheme. Following a public campaign the road was rerouted.
The oldest tree on the list is the Bowthorpe Oak, which stands in a field in Manthorpe, Lincolnshire.
It is more than 1,000 years old and its hollow trunk has been used for parties.
Another contender is the mulberry that stands in the grounds of Wakefield Prison which it is thought may have inspired the nursery rhyme Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush.
Women prisoners were said to have made up the rhyme as they danced around the tree with their children in the former House of Correction's exercise yard.
The "mother" of all modern Bramley Apple trees is another finalist.
Planted at Southwell in Nottinghamshire more than 200 years ago cuttings from the tree were transplanted across across the UK in the 19th Century.
Other nominees include the Howletts Sweet Chestnut, Canterbury, Kent, the Umbrella Tree at Levens Hall, Cumbria, the King John's Oak in Shute Park, Devon and Old Knobbley, in Mistley, Essex.
The hackers are demanding 4,000 Australian dollars ($4,200; £2610) to decipher the files, which contain confidential information.
The Miami Family Medical Centre claims that the attack was not the result of a virus.
A security expert told the BBC said this was an unusual scenario.
"We've got all the antivirus stuff in place - there's no sign of a virus. They literally got in, hijacked the server and then ran their encryption software," David Wood, co-owner of the Miami Family Medical Centre, told ABC News in Australia.
Rik Ferguson, from Trend Micro, said that while "ransom ware" has become much more common in the past 18 months, it is usually carried out by infecting computers with a virus.
"Ransom ware itself has become quite a common tool for cybercriminals but it does have the malware front end - you click a link and an infection encrypts your data," he said.
It generally then takes the form of a message purporting to be from the police or a copyright authority saying that your computer contains illegal material and you must pay a fine - usually a relatively small sum - to unblock it.
Many people pay up because they are embarrassed or it is more convenient, he added.
"The guy from the medical centre seems absolutely certain there was no malware involved and it was a direct hack, but it's the first time I've heard of that happening," he told the BBC.
Mr Ferguson added that much of this sort of activity is carried out by cybercriminals in Russia and the former Soviet states.
"Make sure any sensitive data is not stored unencrypted," he said. "And that it is not connected to the internet. A lot of stuff does need to be connected online but you would only need to have your front-end server directly connected."
While IT professionals are working to decode the medical centre's files, Australian security expert Nigel Phair said he thinks the ransom will have to be paid.
"At this point, most probably, their only option is to pay," he told ABC.
"Though that's not the best option because as we know from extortion that once you pay they'll follow that up." | A 1,000 year-old oak and a sycamore that featured in a Hollywood blockbuster are among the finalists for England's Tree of the Year award.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | Almost 40 organisations, including Macmillan Cancer Support and Marie Curie, want an independent commission to review how the system works.
They have written a letter to the PM, warning that there is "no room for complacency" and calling for an NHS that is "fit for purpose".
The Department of Health said it would be investing £10bn into the NHS.
The charities also highlight official figures which suggest that nearly a quarter of the population will be over the age of 65 in just over 20 years' time.
The letter to Mr Cameron says: "We need to ensure we have an NHS and social care system that is fit for purpose otherwise it is the elderly, disabled people and their carers who will bear the brunt of inaction.
"Bold long-term thinking is required about the size, shape and scope of services we want the NHS and social care to provide - and an honest debate about how much as a society we are prepared to pay for them.
"It is vital that you meet the challenge posed by an ageing society, and an underfunded care system, head on and establish a cross-party commission to review the future of health and social care in England."
Former health minister Norman Lamb has highlighted the view of experts that there could be a £30bn gap in NHS funding by 2020.
The Liberal Democrat MP has put forward proposals for an independent commission to review the future of the NHS and social care, which have been backed by former health secretaries Stephen Dorrell and Alan Milburn.
Simon Bottery, policy director at Independent Age, a charity for older people, said such a commission would be a "vital first move towards recognising that the health and care systems cannot work in isolation - only when they work effectively together can the needs of older people be met".
David Sinclair, director of the International Longevity Centre think tank, which examines issues around ageing and population, said the number of people aged 85 and older is expected to more than double to more than three million in the next 20 years.
"We need to start talking now, honestly and openly, about what standards of health and care older people can expect now and in the future," he added.
A Department of Health spokesman said it was aware that the NHS is "facing challenges as our population ages", but said the government was "absolutely committed" to its future, with plans to invest £10bn in it for the next five years.
"Since 2010, we have employed 10,100 extra doctors and 8,500 extra nurses and by 2020 the NHS will be a truly seven-day service offering the same world-class care every day of the week."

Summarize the following content briefly. | It comes exactly a week after the incident which happened at the junction of Croft Street and Greenbank Street at midday on 10 September.
The woman suffered serious injuries when the man pushed her to the ground and stole her bag before running off.
Police are keen to trace the victim's bag and have been stopping and speaking to passers-by at the scene.
They have asked members of the public to check their gardens and communal areas.
The bag is unbranded, light beige in colour and has a wide shoulder strap.
It contained a brown umbrella, a Radley branded black purse with a small dog on the front and a small quantity of medication.
Det Sgt James Welsh, of Police Scotland, said: "We know the man, who was wearing a dark grey hooded top with the hood up, ran off along Greenbank Street towards the Croft Street flats.
"Extensive searches have been carried out here but the bag has not yet been found, so I would urge everyone in the area that stretches from the Gala Water Retail Park up to Abbotsford Road to please check their gardens, communal areas, bins, anywhere where this bag or its contents might have been discarded."
Scottish Borders local area commander, Ch Insp Andy McLean, said: "Such a violent incident is extremely rare in Gala and the Borders as a whole, and the local community has been extremely shocked that something like this has happened."
He said they were determined to bring the person responsible to justice.
"Local community officers have been assisting the team of detectives investigating this crime, and will be taking part in the checks today," he said.
"Please do come and speak to my team if you have any concerns or any information about what happened last weekend."
The 50-year-old told The Big Issue recent health scares and time spent in prison shocked him into changing his life.
Michael has made no secret of his long-time use of cannabis and has a history of drug-related arrests.
However he said he had "completely stopped" using the drug.
"I decided to change my life and I haven't touched it," he said in his first print interview in five years.
The Wham! star received an eight-week prison sentence in 2010 after pleading guilty to driving under the influence of drugs, following an incident where he crashed his car into a photographic shop in London.
"Jail wasn't great. I just thought, get your head down and get on with it. It turned out to be easier than I was expecting because I knew I deserved to be there," he said.
Soap watching
A year later Michael suffered from life-threatening pneumonia while on tour in Austria in November 2011.
"It was very frightening... I was just so grateful to come out alive," said the singer, who added it was "a pretty horrible experience".
He had another scare last May when he fell of out his car while travelling on the M1 and was airlifted to hospital with a head injury.
The star said he was now living a much more sedate lifestyle and enjoyed watching ITV soap Coronation Street.
"I watch Corrie especially because it's more of a laugh. Even when life is tragic on Coronation Street, it's still funny," he said.
But he criticised EastEnders' for its treatment of gay characters.
He said: "I hope for their sakes and the sake of gay kids in this country, regardless of their cultural background, that EastEnders gets a clue and begins to acknowledge their responsibility and provide us with gay characters that have no reason to live in fear. We do exist."

Write a summary for this information. | European football's governing body confirmed in a statement that Sakho would be free to play from Sunday.
The Liverpool defender, 26, was banned as a result of a test taken after his side's Europa League last-16 second-leg match Manchester United on 17 March.
Uefa added that a decision on the case will be made within the next few days.
In his defence to Uefa's disciplinary committee, Sakho questioned whether the fat burner-type substance which caused him to fail the test should be on the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of prohibited substances.
The decision - by the chairman of Uefa's control, ethics and disciplinary body - not to extend the ban means Sakho will be available to France coach Didier Deschamps for the European Championship finals.
Teams have until Tuesday to submit their final squads for the tournament, which starts when hosts France play Romania on 10 June.
Deschamps has lost Barcelona defender Jeremy Mathieu to a calf injury, with uncapped Lyon player Samuel Umtiti, 22, added to the national squad as his replacement.
Sakho has not played since Liverpool's 4-0 win over Everton on 20 April.
Liverpool have declined to comment on Uefa's decision.

Similar powers over the gas drilling technique are already devolved to Scotland.
A number of exploratory drilling applications have been approved in the Vale of Glamorgan and surrounding area.
However the Welsh government is changing its advice to local councils on fracking - effectively putting existing plans on hold.
Speaking before Labour's conference in Swansea, Shadow Welsh Secretary Owen Smith said: "It is right that decisions like these are taken close to the communities that might be affected."
Meanwhile Planning Minister Carl Sargeant said he would stop "any local planning authority approving any planning application for fracking".
Earlier in February the Welsh government voted to back a Plaid Cymru motion in the Senedd calling for an effective block on fracking.
At its Welsh conference in Swansea's Brangwyn Hall on Friday, Labour will announce plans to speak to half a million voters in Wales ahead of May's general election.
"We cannot outspend the Tories in this election but we will out organise them," a party spokesman said, claiming to have more activists than in 2010.
It may be Valentine's Day on Saturday, but expect plenty of blood and thunder from Labour this weekend as party members gather in Swansea.
As with any pre-election conferences, it will be the big opportunity to rally an expected turnout of 600 troops.
Behind the scenes, party officials say the Tory war on Wales - as it's called by them - has helped mobilise support from the grassroots prepared to get out and knock on doors.
That so-called war is of course based on a number of longer waiting times in the Labour-run Welsh NHS than in England.
One question is whether Labour will suffer as a result - even though health is devolved and this is a general election - or whether it can be successful in persuading people that the Conservative criticism has gone too far.
Labour has 26 of the 40 seats in Wales. It lost four at the last election and has set itself the target of winning eight this time round. Ambitious it may be - but also achievable - that's the message from the party.
Labour is aiming to win Aberconwy, Arfon, Cardiff North, Cardiff Central, the Vale of Glamorgan, Carmarthen East and Dinefwr, Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire and Preseli Pembrokeshire.
Of those, the two Cardiff seats, the Vale of Glamorgan and Aberconwy are felt by the party to be the most winnable. | Mamadou Sakho could play for France at Euro 16 after Uefa opted against extending a provisional 30-day suspension for a failed drugs test.

Summarize the following content briefly. | With trading starting on the New York Stock Exchange later on Friday, the share sale will raise $21.8bn, making it one of the largest flotations ever.
It values Alibaba, which accounts for 80% of all online retail sales in China, at $167.6bn.
That value surpasses such corporate titans as Walt Disney and Boeing.
The final amount raised from the sale could change, depending on the final allotment allocation. If underwriters exercise an option to sell more shares, the money raised could increase to $25bn, beating the record listing held by Agricultural Bank of China. That flotation in 2010 raised $22bn.
Alibaba operates a series of online marketplaces in China and elsewhere, handling more transactions than Amazon and eBay combined.
The company was formed 15 years ago by former teacher Jack Ma, who wants to use some of the proceeds to expand in the US and other markets.
Trading in Alibaba shares is expected to be frenetic in the early hours after the market opens. Many experts expect the share price to go higher once trading begins as institutions add Alibaba stock to their investment portfolios.
US search giant Yahoo, already a shareholder in Alibaba, is selling some $8bn worth of its holding in the offering, leaving it with about 16% of the company.
Japan's Softbank is not selling for now and will be left with a 32% stake, making it the largest single shareholder.
However, control will remain in the hands of Mr Ma and other company veterans. A group of 27 manager dubbed the "Alibaba Partnership" will have the power to nominate a majority of board members.
Regulators at the Hong Kong stock market objected to this structure, which resulted in Alibaba deciding to list in New York.
Alibaba says the arrangement will help it to preserve its innovative culture.
Mr Ma's stake is reportedly worth about $14bn, while the sale is expected to make millionaires out of a large number of the company's managers, software engineers and other staff.
Alibaba acts as an online marketplace for wholesalers, retailers, and small businesses, and handles e-payments and financial transactions. The company has also branched out into cloud computing and instant messaging.
Alibaba has about 279 million active buyers visiting its sites at least once a month.
Online spending by Chinese shoppers is forecast soar over the next few years. And Alibaba has plans to expand into emerging markets as well as Europe and the US.

Give a concise summary of the following information. | The service took 9,862 passengers in 2016-17, a drop of 128 following small rises previously, but still only filled half of the available seats.
Launched in 2007, it has received about £1.2m of public money annually.
A Welsh Government spokesman said the figures were in line with the numbers seen in the previous year and an improvement on 2012-15.
Last year, the Welsh Government ordered a review into its viability and in 2014, a report said it was underperforming.
In the first two years of operation, more than 14,000 people used the service but that figure has been below 10,000 since.
The service has also had problems with its operators.
In March, Eastern Airways took over its running after Citywing was liquidated because its Czech operator Van Air had its permission to fly suspended by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
In 2015, the CAA revoked the air operators licence of Links Air for safety reasons leading the firm going out of business.
Opposition parties have previously called for the service, which runs twice a day on weekdays, to be scrapped with others have argued it needs better transport links and marketing.

What is the summary of the following document? | Erasmus has led Munster to the European Champions Cup semi-finals in his first season in charge while the team are also strongly challenging in the Pro12.
He has been linked with a director of rugby role with South African Rugby but played down the issue on Monday.
"It's definitely not a done deal. It's really just speculation," Erasmus said.
The South African, 44, signed a three-year contract with Munster last year but there have been reports the deal includes a clause that would allow him to give six months' notice to leave the Irish province.
Munster's director of rugby worked as general high-performance manager of South African Rugby before his current role.
Erasmus received huge praise for his leadership role at the club after the sudden death of head coach Anthony Foley in October.
On Monday, the South African denied that the speculation about his future could become a distraction for Munster as they chase honours on two fronts during the remainder of this season.
Munster will face European Champions Cup holders Saracens in the semi-finals in Dublin on 22 April while only a collapse in form in their remaining four regular-season games in the Pro12 will prevent them reaching the semi-finals in that competition.
"It isn't a distraction for the team. There's a lot of talk like that but it isn't something we discuss internally," added Erasmus.
"The team has grown so much that we shouldn't let stupid things distract us at this stage."

Freestyle hope work on Parc Kronberg in Aberystwyth, which already has planning consent, will finish by summer 2017.
The firm said the community park is unique in that it will include pathways forming an entrance to the town.
It follows a seven-year consultation with more than 2,000 people.
About £400,000 has been confirmed in big lottery funding, with Aberystwyth Town Council providing a further £100,000.
Chris Taylor from Freestyle said: "We are all just incredibly excited - it's a UK first because it's not just a skate park, it's a community park.
"We have designed it in such a way that skaters, riders and the community can mix as much as they want.
"The skaters wanted to be interacting, and the public wanted to be closer to the youths using it too."
The project includes a play area, climbing wall, riverside viewing, cycle and footpaths and community seating areas as well as spaces for skating.
The 29-year-old was hurt during a pre-season friendly against League One club Oldham Athletic on Tuesday.

Please give a summary of the document below. | Dr Keith McNeil left Addenbrooke's in Cambridge this week with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) likely to rate it as "inadequate" on 22 September.
Paul James, chief finance officer at the hospital which is running a deficit of £1.2m a week, has also left.
Addenbrooke's was "phenomenal", said Dr McNeil. The CQC has not commented.
"Everywhere across the country people would be very envious of the sort of results we get day in day out," he said.
"People's lives are saved every day by that hospital. I cannot see why anybody would want to describe it as inadequate."
Asked whether the assessment by the CQC, which has not been officially disclosed, was wrong, he told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "I believe so."
Dr McNeil was appointed chief executive in November 2012 but stepped down on Monday along with Mr James.
He told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire he did not think there was "any sane or rational interpretation of the word 'inadequate'" that would describe any aspect of the operations at Addenbrooke's.
The hospital faced criticism for last year implementing the £200m e-hospital system which holds electronic copies of patient records.
But Dr McNeil denied the system was a mistake.
"It was absolutely the right thing to do," he said. "We now have an integrated electronic health record that is really starting to show its value across the hospital as familiarisation improves and as we customise it.
"The whole e-hospital program is expensive, but putting that in context that's not much less than we would have had to have spent to keep a broken system running over the next 10 years." | The former boss of an NHS hospital who stepped down days before inspectors are expected to criticise its financial management has defended its results. |

The new midwife-led unit - the first phase of £5.3m of works at Llandrindod Wells Memorial Hospital - is expected to be finished by April.
Improvements include a new birthing pool.
Health Minister Mark Drakeford, who will visit the site on Monday, said it would provide "modern facilities" and a "first-rate patient environment".
During the development, it will be "business as usual" for patients, with the hospital "fully operational", the Welsh government said.
Chair of Powys Teaching Health Board, Prof Vivienne Harpwood, said: "This development is very welcome. It is so important that mothers and babies throughout Powys have access to the best possible care in a modern midwife-led unit."
Work on further improvements to the hospital building, including to the roof, will begin in May.
The base at Speirs Wharf will feature one of the largest rehearsal rooms in Scotland, space for technical and costume production and community drama.
Work to revamp the former cash and carry building will begin in July.
Since the theatre company was set up in 2006 it has created hundreds of productions, including the award-winning Black Watch.
Laurie Sansom, artistic director at NTS, said: "For the first time ever we have the opportunity to create a space that brings together our company, our colleagues and all our communities.
"A place of imagination, learning and play. A space from which we can begin to fulfil our ambitions, not just for the National Theatre of Scotland but for the wider theatre community and the entire nation."
The overhaul of the disused building in Glasgow's Craighall Road, in the north of the city, is expected to be completed by spring 2016.
It will provide the NTS with about 3,700 sq m (40,000 sq ft) of space over two levels.
Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: "The new Speirs Wharf centre for creativity, production and talent development will be a hub of innovation within the Scottish theatre industry.
"It will become a dedicated and inspiring space where work will be devised and developed, sets and costumes designed and creative expression explored.
"Not only will the facility assist with new productions and work, by redeveloping a disused building the facility will help to regenerate the canal area at Speirs Wharf."
The estimated cost of the redeveloped building is £5,875,000,
So far, NTS has secured £3,454,481 towards the cost- a £2m grant from the Scottish government and £469,481 from its vacant and derelict land fund, £500,000 from Glasgow City Council, £400,000 from The Robertson Trust, £75,000 from The Wolfson Foundation and £10,000 from The Binks Trust.

Can you summarize this passage? | The analysis by the University of East London showed North Kesteven, in Lincolnshire, had the highest rates.
The lowest rate of schizophrenia prescriptions was in East Dorset.
However, explaining the pattern across England is complicated and the research team says the maps pose a lot of questions.
They were developed using anonymous prescription records that are collected from doctors' surgeries in England.
They record only prescriptions, not the number of patients treated, given out by GPs, so hospital treatment is missed in the analysis.
Data between October 2015 and September 2016 showed the average number of schizophrenia prescriptions across England was 19 for every 1,000 people.
The top five were:
Other high-prescribing pockets were in Manchester, Liverpool, Wigan, Kingston-upon-Hull and Walsall.
The lowest prescribing was found in:
Prof Allan Brimicombe, one of the researchers from UEL, said: "The pattern is not uniformly spread across the country."
He suggests this could be due to "environmental effects" such as different rates of drink or drug abuse.
Prof Brimicombe told the BBC: "The top one is in the Lincolnshire countryside and there are others in the countryside."
But there is also a vein of high prescriptions in the North West.
Prof Brimicombe said: "This raises questions that we can't yet answer, but it helps us raise the question.
"In each of these areas of high prescriptions there may be a different set of drivers that are leading to this situation.
"Looking into them starts to inform policy into ameliorating it."
Different attitudes of GPs prescribing medication in different parts of the country could also be relevant.
The data explored how prescribing habits changed between 2011 and 2016.
Over the five years, the rate of prescribing increased by 3% per year. East Anglia had some of the highest increases.
Prof Brimicombe said: "The pattern is very striking.
"These changes do not have a strong association with lifestyle types, so it's more likely to be due to differences in policies and practices in the way mental health services are commissioned across the country."

Can you write a short summary of this section? | Mr Schlecker is accused of offences relating to the 2012 bankruptcy, and his family allegedly helped him. His shops sold personal hygiene goods and household articles.
"The accusations are unfounded," he objected, via his lawyer in Stuttgart.
He could get up to 10 years in jail.
In Germany about 25,000 Schlecker staff lost their jobs, as did a similar number elsewhere in Europe, after the business filed for bankruptcy.
According to Stuttgart prosecutors, Mr Schlecker knew that bankruptcy was looming and siphoned off more than €20m (£17m; $21m) in assets, which would otherwise have gone to creditors.
He is accused of having made false statements about the company's financial situation.
Mr Schlecker's lawyer argues that his client did not imagine that the business was facing collapse.
The indictment includes the charges that Mr Schlecker spent €1m on a home renovation for his son Lars, a holiday for the children that cost tens of thousands of euros, and €800,000 in gifts for four grandchildren.
Lars and his sister Meike ran a logistics firm, LDG, which allegedly became a conduit for some of the Schlecker company assets.
His wife Christa is accused of having received tens of thousands of euros disguised as consultancy fees.
R&B Distillers is turning Borodale House, a derelict Victorian hotel on the Isle of Raasay, into a distillery and visitor centre.
In the past, whisky was made illegally using illicit stills.
R&B Distillers is running a barley trial using five different varieties on land on Raasay, a small isle off Skye.
The variety that thrives best could then be used for making R&B Distillers' whisky.
The project involves local farmers and islanders Andrew Gillies, John Gillies and Alasdair MacAskill.
They have prepared an area of land as well as enriching the soil with lime and fertiliser.
Expert advice for the project has also been sought from Orkney-based Dr Peter Martin, of the University of the Highland and Islands' Agronomy Institute through business academic connector, Interface.
The project has also attracted innovation funding from Highlands and Islands Enterprise.
Dr Martin has been involved in growing bere barley in Orkney.
Bere is Scotland's oldest cultivated barley and was grown on Raasay 40 years ago.
The other varieties in the trial are concerto, which is the most widely grown UK malting barley.
The pilot will also use tartan which is grown in Orkney for distilling whisky, Icelandic variety iskria and a Swedish barley called kannas.

More than 150 flats, as well as student accommodation and shops, would be built in the Queensway and East Street area.
Existing businesses, which face having to relocate, have criticised the proposals.
Developer Tellon Capital said the scheme would "enhance the city and bring the walls back to life".
The plans, approved by the council's planning committee, involve an open boulevard, making a feature of the medieval walls which are currently tucked away among the side of buildings.
The Bargate was the first part of the town walls to be built, dating to about 1180, with alterations in about 1290. Southampton did not become a city until 1964.
The existing 1980s Bargate shopping centre and multi-storey car park are among the buildings earmarked for demolition to make way for 152 flats, 185 student residential units, shops and restaurants.
About 10 businesses face having to relocate under the proposals.
Dale Milner of Titanic Tattoo and Piercing said the plans were "selfish".
"They've not thought of the people who work in the area - we bring in a lot of money, paying the rates. It's people's livelihoods."

James Burchell of Tellon Capital said discussions were continuing with business owners.
"We'll have a vibrant, dynamic, exciting area which will rehabilitate the walls and the Bargate area.
"We're conscious of disruption to smaller local businesses, but we're also very conscious of the improvement we're going to be making to the city centre."
Council leader Simon Letts said the project represented a "new era" for the city centre.
"The regeneration plans will not only create job opportunities for locals, but the apartments will help to create a vibrant community in the city centre," he added.
Work could start in the autumn with the plans due to take two years to complete.

Norwich Crown Court heard a knife found nearby had his blood on it.
Hassiem Baqir, 19, of Howberry Road, Thornton Heath, south London, denies murder.
Andrew Shaw, prosecuting, said a sample of DNA taken from the handle of the knife matched Mr Baqir.
Mr Shaw said Mr Stannard was a drug user and low level drug dealer who had allowed his home to be used as a base by Mr Baqir to sell drugs in Norwich.
He told the court another user went to the property and saw Mr Baqir with the knife. When she asked why he had it, he replied: "It's not a game, it's just in case."
The court heard Mr Stannard was stabbed twice in the back and three times in the front at his home. The wounds perforated his lung and his heart.

Summarize the following excerpt. | Claims that millions of dollars were paid in bribes to secure the world's biggest football tournament for Qatar refuse to go away.
Qatar is spending more than £200bn ($312bn) on a building bonanza ahead of the tournament.
Everyone seems to be getting rich, except those at the bottom of the human supply chain, the migrant worker.
So what is the responsibility of the international companies awarded massive contracts in Qatar?
We have uncovered worrying testimony about pay, housing conditions and safety standards from foreign workers.
They include some employed by subcontractors working for one of Britain's biggest construction firms, Carillion, based in Wolverhampton.
At least eight stadiums are to be built and others will be refurbished for the World Cup.
We were refused permission to film construction at a stadium, so I booked a hotel room to get a look at what is said to be the largest construction site in the world - Msheireb.
It is in the centre of Doha, where there will be shopping malls, apartment blocks and rail links to the stadiums.
At 5am, horns blare and brakes screech as the buses with the day shift arrive.
The shift change is organised with military precision as one gang of workers put aside their tools and climb down the ladders.
Those on the day shift leave the buses in orderly lines, climb up to the recently abandoned positions and start work.
It looks impressive but when I get to talk to the workers, a different picture emerges.
Imran, a 32-year-old from Bangladesh, says he deeply regrets coming to Qatar.
A recruitment agent promised him 1,500 Qatari riyal (£263) a month.
After he has paid for his food, phone and medical treatment for the asthma he says he has contracted since starting work on the dusty site, he has 650 QR a month.
He has to give half of that to the recruitment agency in Dhaka.
"I am supporting elderly parents, my wife and a child," he says.
"I can't send them the money they need.
"I don't want to stay here but I can't leave. The company have my passport."
He adds: "We wake at 4 in the morning, get to work at about 6 and work until 5 in the evening.
"It takes an hour to get back to the camp.
"My room there isn't fit for humans - six of us share and there's no place even to sit and eat."
On his safety helmet and safety pass, there is the name of Carillion.
Carillion says it uses 50 subcontractors in Qatar and that the company employing Imran provides labour to one of its subcontractors.
Carillion says it is "deeply concerned and surprised" by our findings and will be "conducting an immediate review of these claims to establish the position and take appropriate action".
The workers' camps lie between 10 and 20 miles from Doha centre.
We follow a bus that leads us to a camp used by another subcontractor company working for Carillion.
There are two Nepalis, two Indians and two Bangladeshis sitting on the floor eating.
No-one complains about the room in which are three bunk beds, but there are plenty of other complaints.
"I am telling you, sister, I did not get paid on time," says Rajiv.
"They would say that the company faced a loss on a project and so our salaries would be delayed."
The men say they get 750 QR a month and 200 QR extra for food.
Sanjay shows me a finger that was badly cut and mended crudely.
Although hired by subcontractor companies, these men have no doubt who they ultimately work for on site.
"I am working for Carillion. When I'm on the construction site, I don't get safety glasses or gloves," Sanjay says.
"My finger was nearly chopped off.
"I never got compensation for it, nor were my medical bills paid. I paid for the treatment myself."
Raju adds: "None of us get to keep our passports. I don't even know why."
There is a man in the room with a leg in plaster.
I turn to ask him how he got the injury when two men burst in, shouting.
They threaten to take the camera and yell at us, saying Carillion is their main customer and they are terrified that negative stories could damage their business.
We pretend to erase our material and they let us go.
Carillion says that "health and safety is at the very heart of our business, and practice on site follows standards that we apply in the UK".
It says subcontractors "must abide by Qatari labour law in respect of wages, living conditions and employment rights…. and we expect them to comply with Qatari law which prevents employers withholding workers' passports".
In another area of Qatar, the "Industrial Area", there are more camps for workers employed by a variety of local and international companies.
There are more Western Union outlets down one street than I have seen anywhere else in the world.
Sending money home is what it is all about for most of the 1.5 million migrant workers in Qatar.
They come from countries with some of the poorest people in the world - Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Philippines.
Late pay can be a disaster for families back home who might have to resort to crippling loans to survive.
But there is a worse kind of news.
"A lot of workers die because here in Qatar we are working on very tall buildings. Fifteen workers have died on the site I am working on."
Mahendra, 24 and from Nepal, tells me this as we chat alongside a makeshift football pitch in the desert sand.
More than 1,000 migrant workers have died since Qatar was awarded the World Cup in 2010.
Workers come off the pitch to give me their list of complaints.
A recurring one is the amount of money they have to give the recruitment agents who send them here.

Qatar has been sensitive to the criticisms levelled at it by groups like Amnesty International, which condemned the "callous indifference" to migrant workers.
The Emir Sheikh, Tamin bin Hamad Al Thani, has said he is "deeply hurt" by such accusations.
His father, the previous emir, set up the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development as a force for good for the country.
Ray Jureidini, a professor of ethics and migration, has been employed by it to offer recommendations.
He says Qatar's labour laws need urgent reform and that corruption and bribery at the recruitment level must be addressed.
He also says that international companies have a duty to get more involved and is critical of those which don't.
"They don't ask about the men supplied to them," he says.
"They feel they don't need to ask how the workers were recruited, whether they were trafficked, or whether they are caught in debt bondage or being exploited.
"I call this a corporate veil. It's as if the worker is not even there, is not on their books."
Farah Al Muftah has been appointed chairwoman of the workers' welfare committee at the offices of the Qatar 2022.
She says: "As a Qatari, it hurts me when I see people being unfairly treated.
"There are people who say that, because of human rights abuses, we should take the World Cup away.
"I think that actually defeats the purpose.
"If the aim is to improve the conditions, then why would you take such a great opportunity, a catalyst for change, away from the country?
"That will actually harm the progress that is being made."
This week, she is announcing a review of new regulations governing living accommodation and working conditions for the 1,500 workers employed on the World Cup stadiums and directly related infrastructure.
The new regulations include offering workers canteens and on-site laundry services.
Critics would argue it is the Qatari labour laws that are the problem.
The hated "kafala" law ties a worker to the employer who gives them the job.
Whatever the grievance, a worker cannot change jobs or leave the country without an exit visa.
There is no minimum wage and workers are not allowed to form trade unions - 100 workers are currently facing deportation for daring to strike.
The abuses have been well documented by Amnesty International and others.
And yet, the sporting community keeps awarding Qatar its prizes.
Unless the decision is overturned at a review in March next year, Qatar will host the World Cup in 2022.
And, a few weeks ago, the emirate was awarded the 2019 World Athletics Championships.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Robin Shahini told Vice News in a telephone interview that he had "just laughed" after hearing the sentence.
The 46-year-old graduate student from in San Diego was held in July while visiting his sick mother in Iran.
Iranian judiciary officials have so far not confirmed the sentence.
Last week, two other Iranian-Americans were convicted on similar charges.
Siamak Namazi, a Dubai-based businessman, and his 80-year-old father Baquer were given 10-year jail terms.
A British-Iranian charity worker, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, was imprisoned on secret charges last month.
In the interview with Vice News from prison, Mr Shahini said his arrest by Revolutionary Guards personnel in Gorgan, about 300km (185 miles) north-east of Tehran, on 11 July was a "terrifying moment".
"They blindfolded me and they took me to the custody and I did not know where I was," he said. "They were interrogating me every morning, every afternoon, and I was always by myself in my cell."
Mr Shahini, who emigrated to the US in 2000, denied collaborating with a hostile government, but admitted supporting the mass protests that broke out in Iran in 2009 after the disputed re-election of then President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"Whatever information they had is all the pictures I posted in Facebook, in my web blog, and they use all those evidence to accuse me," he said.
His trial took place last week, and he was convicted on Saturday after a three-hour court proceeding, the Los Angeles Times quoted him as saying on Tuesday.
Mr Shahini said he planned to go on hunger strike until he was released.
The US state department said it was "troubled" by the reported sentence.
"We reaffirm our calls on Iran to respect and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, cease arbitrary and politically motivated detentions and ensure fair and transparent judicial proceedings," it told the Associated Press news agency.
A number of Iranians with dual US, British and Canadian citizenship have been imprisoned since a nuclear deal agreed with world powers took effect in January.
The accord has yet to yield significant economic benefits for Iran, and hardliners are reportedly determined not to let it lead to greater rapprochement with the US.

Please summarize the document below. | Officials from the Manx Wildlife Trust said the pups may look harmless but can be aggressive if approached.
The first pup to be born this season was recently spotted by wardens on the Calf of Mann.
A spokesman from the trust said mothers have been known to abandon their pups if they are unduly disturbed by members of the public.
He added: "It's important to keep dogs away from them too.
"It is usual for the mothers to leave them alone for a while on the beach, so there is no need to be alarmed if they appear to be on their own, their mum is probably not far away."

George and Vera Maskell were in the path of Darren Sanders' lorry in a cul-de-sac in south-west London.
The Old Bailey heard they "seemed uncertain what to do".
Sanders, 44, of Wellingborough, was found not guilty of causing death by dangerous driving, but admitted careless driving.
He was given a nine-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, and was banned from driving for 19 months.
The court heard the couple were wheeling a shopping trolley back to their car in Sunbury Cross in July.
Passers-by heard a "dull thud" when the couple were hit by the lorry, which was coming out of a service road which had a 5mph speed limit.
Both had fractured skulls and Mrs Maskell was trapped under the vehicle's wheels.
Jane Osborne, prosecuting counsel, said: "They seemed uncertain what to do and in the event did not move.
"Mr Maskell held onto his wife's arm as if he was trying to move her from the path of the vehicle.
"If he [Sanders] had seen the pedestrians he would not have hit them because his braking time would have been such that he would have stopped before."
The court heard Sanders told police "they just stepped out in front of me" and he had not seen them.
The trial heard he was blind in one eye, but had a valid driver's licence.
He had had flashbacks and sleepless nights since the accident.
Sentencing him, the Common Serjeant of London, Richard Marks QC, said: "The real cause of this accident was not in reality the speed or your failure to observe the Give Way sign but the fact you simply did not see them in front of you."
It happened on the A485 in Pontarsais, between Rhydargaeau and Alltwalis, at about 15:15 BST.

Can you summarize the following information? | The incinerator near Connah's Quay on Deeside aims to create enough energy to power 30,000 homes.
But before it is given a permit, Natural Resources Wales (NRW) wants to examine any potential impact and hear from residents and health bodies.
A drop-in session will be held on Wednesday.
US company Wheelabrator has said its Parc Adfer facility would process up to 200,000 tonnes of household waste a year.
If all goes to plan, building work could begin on the site on the Deeside Industrial Park later this year and the incinerator could start operating in 2018.
The drop-in session will be held at Deeside Leisure Centre from 13:00-20:00 GMT. The public will have a month to comment.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Public Health Wales will also be asked to look at any impact on people's health.
Sian Williams, NRW head of operations for North Wales, said: "We will only grant the permit if we are satisfied that the proposed facility can operate without harming the environment or the health of people nearby."
Waste would arrive by lorry from Anglesey, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Gwynedd. Any recyclable material would be weeded out.
Combined heat and power technology would then incinerate the waste, while at the same time generating steam, which would produce electricity through a turbine and generator.
Plans were submitted last October.
Senior District Judge Howard Riddle found against him on each of the principal arguments against his extradition.
One of those was that the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) issued against Mr Assange had been issued for the purpose of questioning and not prosecution.
Central to that was the evidence of Mr Assange's Swedish lawyer Bjorn Hurtig.
Judge Riddle found Mr Hurtig to be an "unreliable" witness as to the efforts he made to contact his client between 21, 22 September and 29 September.
He found "attempts were made by the prosecuting authorities to arrange interrogation in the period 21-30 September, but those attempts failed".
Accordingly he found "as a matter of fact, and looking at all the circumstances in the round, this person (Mr Assange) passes the threshold of being an accused person and is wanted for prosecution".
Another question raised by Mr Assange was whether the offences specified in the warrant were extraditable offences.
Key to this argument was the issue of consent, or the lack of it, in the allegations made against Mr Assange by the two women in Sweden.
Judge Riddle said: "I am satisfied that the specified offences are extradition offences."
Much was made of the fact that rape trials in Sweden are customarily held in private. It was argued this was against the principle of open justice and would mean Mr Assange would not receive a fair trial.
The judge noted the decision as to whether the evidence at any trial would be taken in public or private would be taken by the Swedish court.
He did find however there had been "considerable adverse publicity in Sweden for Mr Assange, in the popular press, the television and in parliament".
Mr Assange's legal team has indicated this issue would be central to their appeal against the decision.
On a more technical point, Judge Riddle also found the Swedish Prosecutor Marianne Ny was a "judicial authority with the function of issuing arrest warrants". Her status as an authorised prosecutor had been questioned.
The judge also said extradition was "compatible" with Mr Assange's human rights.
Before the extradition hearing it had been strongly suggested Mr Assange would argue the arrest warrant against him was politically motivated.
Judge Riddle said: "This has been hinted at, but no evidence has been provided, and the bar is neither argued nor found."
Mr Assange's appeal will be heard by the Administrative Court. He has seven days to lodge a notice of appeal and the hearing should take place within a period of 40 days after that. In practice however that can stretch to three to four months.
A further appeal lies to the Supreme Court, but only if the Administrative Court certifies that the appeal involves a point of law of general public importance, or the Supreme Court grants leave to appeal.
Any appeal will be challenging for Mr Assange.
Specialist extradition lawyer Michael Caplan QC said: "Resisting EAW requests are exceedingly difficult.
"The process assumes that a person will get an equally fair trial in any of the member states, so there are very limited grounds for opposing extradition." | The public is getting a say on plans to burn hundreds of thousands of tonnes of waste a year collected by five councils across north Wales.

Rhys Hanbury missed a penalty to leave Catalans 4-0 ahead at the break, before Vincent Duport widened the gap.
Corey Thompson and Hanbury drew Widnes level, but tries from Dave Taylor and Eloi Pelissier and a Thomas Bosc drop-goal sank Widnes late on.
Super League's surprise package Widnes suffered a disastrous Easter weekend, losing 28-10 to league leaders Warrington on Easter Friday before going down 20-12 to St Helens on Monday.
And they travelled to France to take on a Catalans side who had secured convincing wins over Salford Red Devils and Castleford Tigers during the same period.
Having trailed by four points at half-time, the Vikings produced a spirited display and battled back to 8-8 courtesy of a lovely floated pass from Joe Mellor out to Thompson and Hanbury's penalty following a Catalans' high tackle.
But Taylor pounced on a loose ball as Catalans scored a fortuitous try before Bosc slotted a drop-goal and Eloi Pelissier stretched for the line to leave the French outfit level on points with third-placed Widnes in the table.
Catalans: Escare, Broughton, Gigot, Duport, Richards, Bosc, Myler, Bousquet, Pelissier, Mason, Stewart, Taylor, Baitieri.
Replacements: Aiton, Mounis, Elima, Maria.
Widnes: Hanbury, Thompson, Dean, Runciman, Ah Van, Mellor, Gilmore, O'Carroll, Heremaia, Dudson, Whitley, Houston, Leuluai.

Police said a man entered the store in Fagley and kicked open a security door to get behind the counter.
During a scuffle, the shopkeeper tried to defend himself with a baseball bat and was stabbed with a pocket knife.
The suspect, said to be aged between 20 and 25, left the store on Fagley Road empty-handed. Police said the victim was left "badly traumatised".
The 48-year-old shopkeeper received several cuts to the head in the incident which took place at about 20:00 GMT on Wednesday, and was taken to hospital.
Det Insp Paula Bickerdike, of West Yorkshire Police, described it as "particularly nasty and violent attack which left the victim with a number of injuries to his head and face".

What is a brief summary of the information below? | Companies House recorded Taylor & Sons as being wound up in 2009 when it was Taylor & Son in difficulty.
Former co-owner Philip Davison-Sebry, of Cardiff, is now at the centre of an £8.8m case against Companies House.
Last year's ruling said the error caused the company to go into administration but a High Court judge ruled on Wednesday it can be appealed.
In January 2015, Mr Justice Edis found Companies House owed a duty of care when entering a winding up order to take reasonable care to ensure it is not registered against the wrong company.
He said Taylor & Sons had proved the reason it went into liquidation was because of an error made by Companies House.
Now, government lawyers have been granted permission to challenge that decision in the Court of Appeal.
Taylor & Sons dated back to 1875 and more than 250 people lost their jobs when it went under.
The error was rectified within three days but in the mean time, the false information had spread online.
The company said word had already got around, resulting in orders being cancelled and credit facilities being withdrawn.
Paul Rees QC, for Companies House, argued the judge's decision set a dangerous precedent for the future, "opening the door" to similar claims.
Lady Justice Arden said: "Clearly this case has wide implications and there are compelling reasons why an appeal should be considered."
She described what happened to Taylor & Sons through no fault of its own as "most unfortunate".
No date was given for the full hearing of the appeal.
They want the government to introduce so-called child sexual exploitation disruption orders which councils could apply for through magistrates.
Sanctions to prevent the grooming of vulnerable children are too limited, says the Local Government Association.
It says orders could be used against anyone suspected of grooming, banning them from certain places or activities.
David Simmonds, chairman of the LGA's Children and Young People Board, told the BBC that, for example, suspected offenders might be banned from hanging around outside named schools, shops or restaurants at particular times or being in the company of young people.
Councils would have to apply to local magistrates to obtain the orders, says the LGA, which represents more than 370 councils in England and Wales.
Evidence from abuse inquiries from Oxford to Rotherham heard that time and again, police and social workers had no means of intervening to prevent the grooming and sexual exploitation of children, until they had evidence that a child had already been harmed, it adds.
The LGA wants the next government to introduce a bill to bring in the disruption orders in its first term.
"Few parents would be comfortable if their children were spending their time in the company of older men and coming home with expensive gifts and smelling of alcohol - but the reality is that there have been concerned mums and dads who have had to stand by, powerless, as their children have been groomed by vile sexual predators," said Cllr Simmonds.
"We need to make it easier to intervene earlier before harm is done.
"By making it possible for councils to apply swiftly to the courts for an order to disrupt grooming we can help prevent the lives of children being ruined by sexual exploitation."
The LGA says the orders would be designed to target people suspected of grooming children, to put a safe space between them and their victims.
Victims would not be required to testify when an application for an order was heard, it adds.
The charity Barnardo's said government should do "whatever it takes" to give police and authorities the tools they needed to tackle child sexual exploitation.
"We see first-hand the devastating impact it has on young lives, families and communities," said chief executive Javed Khan.
"These recommendations from the LGA build on the findings of the parliamentary inquiry Barnardo's carried out last year. It is vital that we intervene at the earliest possible stage to prevent perpetrators from gaining influence over vulnerable young people.
"Protecting children from this manipulative abuse must always be our overriding priority."

Summarize the information given below. | The scrum-half, who turned 31 on Wednesday, arrived at the Cherry and Whites from Edinburgh in 2014.
His contract at Kingsholm was due to expire at the end of this term.
"At this stage of my career, the offer to test myself and develop my game even further in a different environment was just too good to turn down," he said.
Laidlaw, who can also play at fly-half, added to Gloucester's club website: "It's not been an easy decision to make, but I think it's the right one.
"It's a fantastic club which enjoys tremendous support. The squad contains a great group of boys, I love playing at Kingsholm and it's been a genuine honour to captain the side."
He has scored 480 points in 48 appearances for Gloucester and helped them beat his hometown club Edinburgh to win the Challenge Cup in 2015.
Director of rugby David Humphreys added: "His consistent performances at both club and international level, particularly his goal-kicking, have caught the attention of some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
"While we are sorry to see him go, the offer Greig received from France was too good to turn down and, at the end of the season, we will wish him all the best for the rest of his career."
Laidlaw has agreed a three-year deal with Clermont, who finished top of the French top flight last season before losing in the play-off semi-finals.

Please summarize the document below. | The number of companies has more than doubled in the last year, meaning 35,000 low-paid workers will see their pay rise when the wage is increased on Monday, Citizens UK said.
The current Living Wage rate is £7.65 an hour, compared with the national minimum wage of £6.50.
The Living Wage reflects what workers require to meet their basic needs.
In London, the Living Wage is currently £8.80 an hour.
The rate is set by the Living Wage Foundation, part of the community organisation Citizens UK, and is calculated by the Centre for Research in Social Policy at Loughborough University. It has cross-party support.
Last week, research published by the Resolution Foundation think tank found that a record five million UK workers were in low-paid jobs, having risen by 250,000 in the last 12 months.
This was a problem for the government, it said, because it kept income tax revenues low.
"The good news is that the number of accredited Living Wage employers has more than doubled this year - over 1,000 employers across the UK have signed up," said Rhys Moore, director of the Living Wage Foundation.
He added that the number of the companies signed up in the FTSE 100 had risen from four to 18, and included Canary Wharf Group and Standard Life. Nationwide and Nestle have also signed up.
"Low pay costs the taxpayer money - firms that pay the minimum wage are seeing their workers' pay topped up through the benefits system," he said.
The new higher rate of Living Wage will be announced at 00:01 GMT on Monday, while the rate for London will be announced by Mayor Boris Johnson later in the morning. Both will rise to reflect the higher costs of living.
A report by consultants KPMG revealing the number of workers being paid less than the Living Wage will also be released on Monday.
"Far too many employers are stuck in the spiral of low pay," said KPMG's Head of Living Wage Mike Kelly.
"Unless wages rise, a significant sector of the UK population will see themselves caught between the desire to contribute to society and the inability to afford to do so.
"The Living Wage may not be possible for every business, but is certainly not impossible to explore the feasibility of paying it."
Over the wider economy as a whole, wages are not rising as fast as prices, meaning real pay for many people is falling.
The latest figures show that average weekly earnings are rising by 0.9% excluding bonuses, below the rate of inflation, which is 1.2%. | Thousands of UK workers are set for a pay rise after a surge in the number of companies signed up to the Living Wage. |
Can you provide a summary of this content? | Det Sgt Jan Beasant was found guilty of misconduct in December 2011, following a review of the inquiry into the murder of Blackpool teenager Charlene Downes.
However, a Police Arbitration Tribunal has overturned the finding.
Lancashire Police said it is waiting to view the written reasons for the decision before commenting.
Charlene, 14, disappeared in 2003 and has not been seen since.
Rachel Baines, chair of the Police Federation Lancashire branch said it welcomed the tribunal's decision.
"We only take cases to the tribunal on merit", she added.
The force's head of Professional Standards Supt Simon Giles said: "We respect the decision of the tribunal panel and we are awaiting the written rationale of the panel and we will then consider the findings in detail."
Investigations into the police inquiry began in 2008, after Iyad Albattikhi was cleared of killing Charlene when "grave doubts" were raised around the evidence.
They centred on transcriptions done by Ms Beasant of secretly-recorded conversations between Mr Ilbattikhi and another man, spending 2,500 hours over two years listening to 52 audio tapes.
The quality of the covert recordings was criticised during the trial by defence barristers as "poor" with confidence "low" in the accuracy of the transcriptions.
A review by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said the investigating team were guilty of a strategic and tactical failure in the management of the material.
It added that the covert surveillance was "handled poorly and unprofessionally" and recommended that Ms Beasant face a disciplinary hearing, one officer should receive a written warning and five others should receive words of advice.
Mr Albattikhi was tried in 2007, accused of her murder.
However, a jury at Preston Crown Court was discharged in 2007 when members failed to reach a verdict.
A retrial also collapsed, after the Crown Prosecution Service expressed "grave doubts" about the reliability of the covert surveillance.
Raphael Castillo, 29, from south London, registered a car and phone in the names of fictional drug kingpins Marlo Stanfield and Avon Barksdale.
When police raided his home they discovered a stash of luxury designer goods, including a Rolex worth £7,300.
He pleaded guilty to supplying heroin and crack cocaine and was sentenced at Bristol Crown Court earlier.
He also pleaded guilty to possession of criminal property.
Castillo was sentenced to five years and eight months in prison, and was ordered to pay back £12,775 under the Proceeds of Crime act.
Police estimate Castillo, who was head of a London drugs ring, made £71,000 dealing from properties in Yeovil, Somerset, in 2016.
When officers raided Castillo's home in Vestry Road, Camberwell, in December, they found a Fendi backpack worth £2,500, trainers worth in excess of £1,000 and about £3,000 in cash, in addition to the Rolex.
Avon and Somerset Police said he ran a county lines drugs operation, in which urban dealers sell drugs in smaller locations, and made about £71,430.67 in total.
Det Con Richard Grierson said: "He fancied himself as a gangster figure and registered a vehicle in the name of Marlo Stanfield and a phone in the name of Avon Barksdale, both fictional drug dealers from US TV series The Wire.
"All the dealers working for this county lines operation were from London and have come to Yeovil to deal large quantities of class A drugs from rented properties."
The Wire was a long-running TV crime drama that aired in the US between 2002 and 2008 and saw Avon Barksdale and Marlo Stanfield run a drug dealing network in Baltimore.

Summarize the following piece. | There are some crumbs of comfort for him in his sole regional ally, Qatar, and the Turkish media loyal to his AK Justice and Development Party.
Turkish opposition media are jubilant at the AK losing its majority, and the pro-Kurdish leftwing People's Democratic Party (HDP) crossing the 10-percent barrier to enter parliament.
Turkey's firmly pro-opposition entertainment channel Fox TV called it an "historic event".
"Barriers destroyed!" declare the headlines in Hurriyet and Bugun, while the pro-Kurdish Ozgur Gundem see a new era for the country after this "victory of the people".
Some papers go personal, with Sozcu headlining the "downfall" of President Erdogan, and Zaman dubbing it a rejection of "authoritarianism, the palace, and corruption".
Hasan Cemal on the T24 news portal sees the "beginning of the end for Erdogan", and Cumhuriyet mocks the AK election slogan in its headline "Here you go, here's your new Turkey!"
Pro-government media in contrast warn of a return to the economic and political instability of the pre-AK era.
"The nightmare is back," Gunes laments, recalling earlier coalition governments, and Star newspaper says business leaders are anxious at the result.
Pro-government television channels like ATV and Kanal 24 largely ignored live statements by the main opposition parties, allowing AK supporters to dominate discussion of the results.
State-run Haber TV tried to put a brave face on it by repeating Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's declaration that AK are "the winners", while Yeni Safak suggests an early election is possible.
Rasim Ozan Kutahyali in Sabah agrees that the election is the "start of a new battle", and urges supporters of the president to protect him from any further attacks on his authority.
Arab, Iranian and Israeli commentators in the main see the result as a setback for the president, although pro-Erdogan Qatar's media, in particular influential Al-Jazeera TV, lead on the AK's "victory" as the largest party.
The Saudi paper Al-Riyadh is fairly representative in saying Mr Erdogan made the election a "referendum on his personal rule", and so must realise this "major setback undermines his hopes of boosting his own power".
Several papers report "Kurds dancing in the street" at what the Syrian opposition site Zaman al-Wasl describes as a "touchstone" result likely to bring them more concessions.
London's Al-Quds al Arabi expects the ramifications of the vote to "define the future of the whole region for years to come".
Across the border in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan Region, Hemin Abdallah of the Rudaw News Network says the strong HDP showing will deprive the militant PKK group of the "last word" on Kurdish issues in Turkey.
European media comment generally echoes the view that Mr Erdogan's "star is fading", as France's Le Monde puts it.
Alberto Negri in Italy's Il Sole 24 Ore says Mr Erdogan is the "latest victim of those Middle Eastern Springs that he planned would follow his model".
He wonders how this "sultan will react to losing the sceptre of absolute command" in a region that, far from emulating him, has left Turkey with Islamic State extremists on its borders.

Give a brief summary of the content. | A total of 240 children were signed up to Rep's Children and were able to see special annual performances by Birmingham Repertory Theatre.
The theatre said all 400 babies born at Birmingham City and Sandwell hospitals in October 2004 were invited to join.
The babies saw their first performance, Open House, aged just six months.
It included actors singing the nursery rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and interactive play.
Other shows included Dreams Come Out to Play, which was performed in a tent on the main stage, and Princess and Ginger, which the Rep's Children helped create.
The project was funded by the city council, Sure Start, Heart of Birmingham PCT and the Baring Foundation.
A second Rep's Children project begun in 2013, as part of the theatre's centenary celebrations.
Alison Fuller, whose daughter Amaya was born on 1 October, 2004 and was among the first to join Rep's Children, said it had been an "absolute privilege" to take part.
"The Rep's vision was so forward thinking and in my humble opinion I believe the project has achieved what it set out to do, making the theatre accessible for all, regardless of race, culture or social status," she said.
MS Fuller said it had a "positive effect" on her family, including her three older children who have pursued paths in drama and theatre production.
Steve Ball, associate director at The Rep, said staff had enjoyed the experience and hoped the children would continue to see shows at the theatre.
"It's also been an amazing creative challenge for us to develop high quality and engaging live theatre for babies, toddlers and school-age children.
"When we started there were very few productions available to appeal to babies and toddlers, so we had to create it from scratch." | A decade-long project to allow children from some of Birmingham's most deprived areas to see free theatre for their first 10 years has come to a close. |
Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | In a series of new measures, the ONS is seeking to quantify economic well-being, as well as economic growth.
Real Household Disposable Income (RHDI) per head increased by 1.9% in the year to December 2014.
However, the measure is only up by 0.2% from the second quarter of 2010.
RHDI - which records household income after tax, and is adjusted for inflation -is the measure favoured by the chancellor, George Osborne.
The ONS also reported a rise in households' optimism about their finances.
In December 2014, the ONS survey showed a balance of -5.2, meaning that the number of people who thought their financial situation was getting worse outweighed the number seeing an improvement.
However, that figure was an improvement on a year before, when the balance was -7.6.
The series of data was first published by the ONS in December 2014.
Household spending has also risen, according to the ONS.
Real household spending - after adjustments for inflation - rose by 0.3% in the year to December 2014.
And it has risen by 3% since the coalition government came to power in 2010.
All these measures were designed as alternatives to quantifying the UK economy by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) - which measures production, and the income it generates.
Such an approach was first suggested by the Nobel Prize-winning economist, Joseph Stiglitz.
In 2009, he concluded that as well as looking at the performance of the overall economy, it was important to look at the economics of individual households.
In measuring economic well-being, three particular problems are associated with GDP: | The financial well-being of UK households improved last year - but overall it is not much better than it was five years ago - according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) |

Can you summarize this passage? | The film will follow Becker from childhood to his first Wimbledon final in 1985, when he became the first unseeded player to win the tournament.
"There's a right time for everything in life," said Becker.
"Now, on the 30th anniversary of my first big win, it seems the time has come to tell the story in a movie."
The film will be made by German company Pantaleon Entertainment, who described it as a "big-budget international tentpole TV event".
"Boris Becker wrote sports history with his amazing victory," said CEO Dan Maag. "It's a tale of courage, determination and the unstoppable will to keep going in the face of adversity.
Becker had a brief but brilliant tennis career in the run-up to his Wimbledon debut.
Born in Leimen, West Germany, he learned the game at the hometown tennis centre, Blau-Weiss Tennisklub, which his father, an architect, had built.
He started playing competitively at age eight, occasionally practicing with Steffi Graf, and by 12 years old was concentrating almost wholly on the game.
After winning the West German junior championship aged 15, he turned professional and began to dominate the game with a powerful serve that earned him the nickname "Boom Boom".
In 1985, he rewrote the record books at Wimbledon, taking just three hours and 18 minutes to overpower eighth-seeded Kevin Curren, a South-African-born American.
He was not just an unseeded outsider but at 17, he was also the youngest person ever to lift the men's singles trophy - a record that stands to this day.
Proving the victory was not a fluke, he won the Wimbledon men's singles championship again the following year, and for a third time in 1989.
He retired from professional tennis in 1999, after an emotional return to Wimbledon in which he lost in the fourth round, but has recently returned to the circuit to coach world number one Novak Djokovic.
By concentrating on his early years, the TV movie will avoid covering the public scandals that dogged Becker post-retirement.
After a messy divorce from his wife Barbara in January 2001, he admitted he had fathered a baby girl by Russian model Angela Ermakova.
Then, in October 2002, he was given a two-year suspended sentence for failing to pay 1.7 million euros ($1.7m) in tax. | The early career of tennis champion Boris Becker is to become a TV movie, after the star sold the rights to his life story. |
What is the brief summary of the provided content? | Ecila Henderson stabbed 69-year-old Rosemary Armstrong 22 times when her mother came to visit her at her flat in Pokesdown, Bournemouth, in August 2010.
Henderson, who is detained in a mental health unit, claimed more than £300,000 from the trust, saying the death arose from inadequate care.
Her barrister said he hoped to appeal against the ruling.
Following the stabbing, Henderson was disarmed by a police officer after being spotted carrying a bloodstained knife in the street.
An independent inquiry later criticised the care she received from her health trust.
The inquiry said a health worker had reported Henderson's condition had deteriorated before the killing, but steps to recall her to inpatient care were inadequate.
Henderson was later convicted of manslaughter by way of diminished responsibility.
She sued Dorset Healthcare University Foundation Trust for a range of losses, including her inheritance from her mother and her time incarcerated.
Legal firm DAC Beachcroft, defending the trust, said Henderson, now aged 45, was seeking to overturn a legal principle which prohibits a person from recovering damages for the consequences of their crimes.
It said it successfully argued that the principle, known as illegality, still applied where claimants had any degree of criminal responsibility in the case. | A woman with paranoid schizophrenia who killed her mother has lost a High Court claim against her former NHS carers. |
