What is the summary of the given information? | The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said rebels advanced into government-held western districts overnight but were pushed back by Wednesday morning.
The battle was the most intense in Aleppo for more than a year, it added.
Later, the US said an agreement has been reached with Russia to extend a truce in Syria to include Aleppo.
The Syrian military confirmed it would observe a 48-hour ceasefire in the city.
A surge in fighting in Aleppo in the past two weeks has killed almost 300 people.
The nationwide cessation of hostilities brokered in late February by the US and Russia, which back opposing sides in the war, is close to collapse.
A coalition of rebel groups fighting under the name "Fatah Halab" (Aleppo Conquest) launched the assault on the government's defensive lines in the west of the city on Tuesday by detonating a tunnel bomb, the AFP news agency reported.
Intense gun battles, air strikes and artillery attacks went on through Tuesday night. Intermittent clashes continued on Wednesday.
Activists also reported that government warplanes carried out more than 20 air strikes in the rebel-held eastern Ghouta outside Damascus, after a freeze in fighting declared by the government around the capital expired.
On Wednesday, the US State Department announced that an extension to the cessation of hostilities had been agreed with Russia on Tuesday.
"Since this went into effect today at 00:01 (local time; 21:01 GMT on Tuesday) in Damascus, we have seen an overall decrease in violence in these areas, even though there have been reports of continued fighting in some locations," a US statement said.
Al-Nusra, an al-Qaeda affiliate that is allied to a number of rebel groups, is excluded from the cessation of hostilities.
The government and its ally Russia say only al-Nusra positions in Aleppo are being targeted, but the opposition and the US accuse them of indiscriminately attacking civilians and rebels abiding by the cessation of hostilities.
UN humanitarian adviser Jan Egeland complained later on Wednesday that the government was still refusing to allow aid deliveries to hundreds of thousands of people in besieged areas of Syria, including rebel-held eastern Aleppo.
"It is a disgrace to see that while the population of Aleppo is bleeding, their options to flee have never been more difficult than now," he told reporters in Geneva.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault asserted that the Syrian government bore full responsibility for the bloodshed in Aleppo.
"What is happening in Aleppo is a tragedy that requires a stronger reaction," he said at the start of talks in Berlin with his German counterpart, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, UN envoy Staffan de Mistura and Syrian opposition leader Riad Hijab.
Russia meanwhile said it had withdrawn about 30 aircraft from its airbase in Syria, including all of the Su-25 ground attack planes stationed there.
The Russian military began the withdrawal of most of its forces from Syria in March, six months after launching an air campaign to bolster President Bashar al-Assad. | Dozens of people are reported to have been killed in fierce clashes between rebel groups and government forces in the divided Syrian city of Aleppo. |
What is the summary of the given information? | Bayern Munich forward Thomas Muller scored twice for Joachim Low's side with Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos also on the score sheet.
Muller's club team-mate Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick as Poland beat Denmark 3-2 in Group E.
Former Manchester City men Stevan Jovetic and Stefan Savic both netted as Montenegro thrashed Kazakhstan 5-0.
Romania won at Armenia by the same scoreline in the same group, after the hosts were reduced to 10 men through Gor Malakyan's third minute red card.
A surprise scoreline in Group C saw Azerbaijan beat Norway 1-0, with defender Maksim Medvedev the match winner. The result means the Azeris have a 100% record after two games.
Slovenia edged past Slovakia 1-0 to maintain their unbeaten record ahead of their game against England on Tuesday.
Four people were injured in the panic, at Dalston Kingsland station, north London, at about 07:10 GMT.
The pack, part of a workman's drill, was dealt with by fire crews. The station had to be evacuated.
Passenger Robert Kabali, 25, said: "Everybody was shouting 'run, run' and I thought I was running for my life."
Mr Kabali, a forklift truck driver, from Plaistow, near Canning Town, who was in the first carriage, told BBC News: "I was getting off the train and walking along the platform thinking, there seems to be a fight or something up ahead, people were looking at something."
He continued: "Then I saw people running. It all happened so quickly.
"People were shouting, 'run, run'. We didn't know what we were running from, but everyone started running. I thought maybe it was someone with a gun shooting? It looked like it was really serious.
"People were running, shouting, falling over and getting crushed. I ran on to the tracks and over to the other side of the platform with some other people.
"Looking back now, I guess that was quite dangerous but... I thought I was running for my life.
"Then after a while everyone was silent and someone else said they saw a man was smoking from his backpack in one of the coaches. People were shouting 'bomb, bomb'."
In a statement, the London Fire Brigade said: "Firefighters have dealt with a small incident on a train at Dalston Kingsland station this morning.
"A workman's drill had overheated and started smoking. Firefighters extinguished the battery and placed it in a bucket of sand."
London Ambulance Service said it treated "four patients for minor injuries, including head, leg and arm injuries, and took them to a hospital in east London".
The claim: The number of migrant workers coming to the UK makes it more difficult for UK-born workers to find jobs - for every 100 migrants who get a job, 23 UK-born workers are displaced.
Reality Check verdict: This figure does not show the impact of EU migrants. It refers to non-EU migrants and there are further important caveats - those who stay for more than five years do not displace British-born workers, the impact is significant in times of economic downturn only, and it is not considered permanent.
He said: "The government's own Migration Advisory Committee reported that for every 100 migrants employed 23 UK-born workers would have been displaced."
The figure does appear in a 2012 report by the government's independent committee.
But what Mr Duncan Smith doesn't mention is that the figure referred to is the impact of migrants from outside the EU coming to the UK between 1995 and 2010.
No statistically significant effects were found for EU migrants coming to the UK.
There are also a few important caveats to the findings.
Firstly, those migrants who had been in the UK for five years or more were not found to displace British-born workers.
Secondly, the impact of migration on native employment was only significant in times of economic downturn, not in buoyant economic times.
Thirdly, the displacement found should not be considered permanent.

Provide a brief summary of this section. | She cuts a contemptuous figure in court. At every hearing the petite 40-year-old enters the room, folds her arms and turns her back on the television cameras.
She is usually flanked by her lawyers with whom she has a fractious relationship; she has tried to fire three of them and they have - unsuccessfully - asked the court to release them from their duties.
Since the trial began Ms Zschaepe has never once broken her silence in court.
Which is why there is such interest here in the statement which she is due to give - albeit via one of her legal team - on Wednesday.
Ms Zschaepe is thought to be the only surviving member of a neo-Nazi cell, the National Socialist Underground (NSU), which operated for more than a decade.
The NSU carried out racially motivated attacks; they killed 10 people between 2000 and 2007, and perpetrated two bombings and 15 bank robberies.
Eight of their victims were of Turkish descent. One man was Greek - it is thought the group may have mistaken him for a Turk.
The other victim was a German policewoman. No-one knows why she was targeted. No-one except, perhaps, Beate Zschaepe.
There are other unanswered questions too. What did the group hope to achieve?
The two other members of the cell were found dead, having apparently committed suicide after a bank robbery, just before Ms Zschaepe turned herself in.
She had been romantically involved with both Uwe Boehnhardt and Uwe Mundlos and had lived with the pair in a flat in Zwickau in the east of Germany.
Ms Zschaepe is accused of setting fire to the apartment just before she handed herself in to police.
The crimes shocked Germany. But so too, in retrospect, did the response of the authorities who critics say turned a blind eye to the presence of the far right.
The NSU cell went undetected for more than 10 years.
Police initially blamed the killings on the Turkish mafia. Relatives of some victims were suspected and interrogated.
Afterwards, a parliamentary inquiry blamed prejudice and a failure to confront the threat represented by Germany's extreme right.
Today Germany's neo-Nazi scene still causes concern.
There are fears of a right-wing resurgence as the country adapts to hundreds of thousands of refugees entering the country.
This trial - and the woman around whom it centres - are being closely watched. | Beate Zschaepe has been on trial for more than two years. |
Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | After defeating Dundee 5-0 on Friday evening, Celtic knew any points dropped by the Dons would ensure a fourth straight championship.
Ronny Deila has secured the league title and the League Cup in his first season in charge of the club.
"We have achieved a big thing," Deila told his club's official website.
"Hopefully there will be more and more.
"Defensively we have been unbelievable the whole season and we have hardly conceded a goal. Offensively we have been getting better and we scored five beautiful goals against Dundee on Friday night.
"We have worked so hard for this and finally we are there and can start thinking of next season. There is always high pressure here and I put high demands on myself as well.
"Today we just have to enjoy it and be happy that we are champions. I'm happy with a lot of the work we have done and we are going to enjoy this night and show we are champions next Sunday [against Aberdeen at Pittodrie]."
Deila's men are likely to be presented with the Premiership trophy after the home match against Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 24 May.
Speaking shortly after the result at Tannadice, Celtic assistant manager John Collins told BBC Scotland: "[It's] great news.
"We've had a terrific few months - we deserved to win the league.
"I thought Aberdeen would tail off but as every week went by and the months went by they kept picking up the results and they were on our tails all the way.
"They put us under a bit of pressure, we kept having to respond and the boys have done that. I think our performances have got better and better."
Deila travelled to Norway for a family occasion after Friday's win and Collins added: "He's got a big day - his children's confirmation today.
"He'll be enjoying that but this'll make it an extra special evening for him, no doubt about that."
The suspects said the 17-year-old boy had tried to steal a bike, which he denies. His family says he has mental health problems and is a drug user.
Police identified the men after they shared a video online of them making the tattoo.
An online campaign has been created to help the boy get the tattoo removed.
The suspects, aged 27 and 29, confessed to writing the message, which said in Portuguese "I'm a thief and loser", as a "punishment".
Police in the city of Sao Bernardo do Campo, in Sao Paulo state, have not yet confirmed that the attempted robbery took place.
The boy said he had fallen over the bike for being "very drunk", but that he was not trying to steal it.
The two men caught the boy, tied his hands and feet and said they would tattoo him, he added.
"I asked them to make the tattoo on my arm but they said they would do it on my forehead and started laughing," he told Folha de S.Paulo newspaper (in Portuguese).
"I begged them to break my arms and legs instead."
In the video, the boy, who seemed frightened, is seated on a chair but not tied, while a man with a tattoo machine holds him by the hair. The man who is filming laughs and says: "It's going to hurt."
The boy also had his hair cut by the suspects after he tried to hide the tattoo.
The teenager's family said he had gone missing on 31 May and recognised him after seeing the video, which was uploaded on Friday. He was reunited with his family on Sunday.
The online campaign to help him has raised more than 19,000 reais ($5,800; £4,500). | Celtic have won the Scottish Premiership title after nearest challengers Aberdeen lost to Dundee United at Tannadice.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | The 24-year-old was sold to the Clarets for £2m in 2015 by then-United manager Louis van Gaal.
He made his England debut on 22 March this year and is shortlisted for the Professional Footballers' Association young player of the year award.
Any deal for Keane would allow United to activate a 25% sell-on clause from the player's initial transfer.
If the transfer did go through, it would be the second summer in succession that United would have bought back one of their former academy players following Paul Pogba's world-record £89m return in 2016.
United manager Jose Mourinho has identified his defence as an area he wishes to improve in the summer and is expected to make significant changes to his squad.
Mourinho's men cannot finish in the Premier League top five after they lost against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday coupled with Arsenal's 2-0 win against Sunderland two days later.
The Red Devils have two games remaining, starting with a trip to Southampton on Wednesday before hosting Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Stockport-born Keane played in the same 2011 FA Youth Cup-winning side as Pogba and made five senior appearances for United.
He joined Burnley after spells on loan at Leicester, Derby and Blackburn.
Steve McClaren, former England manager on BBC Radio 5 live
I'm surprised Manchester United got rid of him in the first place.
We took him on loan at Derby a few years ago when he was 19 or 20 years old. He wasn't physically ready at that stage. He came in as cover for 10 games and was absolutely outstanding. The potential future was there for all to see.
He was a modern centre-back - he could get a goal from set-pieces and was aerially very good. He could also bring the ball out from the back and step into midfield.
Michael has since cemented a place at Burnley and established himself as a top centre-back.
The car parts, bikes and camping retailer said pre-tax profits fell 10.5% to £71.4m for the year to March.
Revenue was up 7.2% to nearly £1.1bn, boosted by the acquisition of upmarket bike business Tredz/Wheelies. Like-for-like revenues rose 2.7%.
Chief executive Jill McDonald said Halfords had gained market share in both motoring and cycling.
"Profit performance for the year was impacted by the weaker pound but our plans are well developed and I am confident this will be offset over time," she said.
It is the last set of results to be presented by Ms McDonald before she joins Marks & Spencer as head of non-food in September.
Chairman Dennis Millard said Ms McDonald was leaving a "strong team and a clear direction to drive future growth".
Halfords said higher import costs had largely been responsible for the drop in profits.
It said a late Easter knocked recent sales, revealing a 1.2% drop in like-for-like retail sales in the final three months of its financial year.
Taking the 15 weeks to 28 April 2017, which includes Easter, it said like-for-like sales were 3.9% higher.
Ms McDonald said the company was in a "position of strength" despite "uncertainty" about consumer spending due to rising inflation.
Neil Wilson, senior market analyst at ETX Capital, said the focus on premium cycling brands was working, buoyed by the fact Halfords expects growth in cycling of 3-5% per annum in the medium term.
"Looking ahead there are hopes that the retailer will actually benefit from the weak pound as more people stay in Britain for holidays.
"Staycations might help, as will the focus on higher value bikes. Investors should also note that the worst of the fall in sterling may be over."
Shares rose 1.2% in early trading to 363p, valuing the company at just over £720m. | Manchester United are interested in re-signing £25m-rated Burnley defender Michael Keane.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | At 68 and 70 respectively, Democrat Mrs Clinton and her Republican rival Donald Trump are among the oldest candidates in history. Mr Trump would be the oldest president ever elected, Mrs Clinton the second.
But how does the level of personal health scrutiny seen in this campaign compare with that of candidates and presidents past?
Mrs Clinton last year published a two-page letter from her personal doctor, Lisa Bardack, in which Dr Bardack gave a relatively detailed description of Mrs Clinton's medical history, including hypothyroidism, a fainting episode in which she suffered a concussion, and several blood clots. The note revealed that Mrs Clinton takes an anti-coagulant as a precaution and has a healthy diet. But the candidate has so far declined to release her full health records.
Mr Trump has published only a much briefer note - some four paragraphs - in which his doctor, Harold N Bornstein, declared that the candidate's health was "astonishingly excellent" and would make him "the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency". Short on detail, the note did reveal Mr Trump's blood pressure and said he had lost 15 pounds. Mr Trump has admitted consuming a large amount of fast food in his diet.
In 2008, Democratic candidate Barack Obama released a 276-word note from his doctor giving him a clean bill of health. But Senator Obama was a lean 47 year old who exercised regularly. His doctor released the results of various tests and declared him to be a fit and healthy middle-aged man.
By contrast, his opponent was a 71 year old with a history of skin cancer and war injuries. John McCain made more than 1,000 pages of his medical records available to reporters - for a few hours and under strict conditions - during both his 2008 and 2000 bids to be president.
But this is a fairly recent fad. Most presidents and candidates have kept their medical history private, leaving the American public unaware of some serious health problems suffered by their commander in chief.
In 1893, President Grover Cleveland discovered a lump in his mouth that turned out to be oral cancer. Worried the news would send the country into a panic, he snuck a surgeon and medical team on to a friend's yacht and set sail for four days under the guise of a pleasure trip.
The surgeon removed the tumour, along with five of the president's teeth and much of his jawbone, replacing the latter with a prosthetic. Crucially, he got the tumour out through the mouth, preserving Cleveland's famous moustache. The surgery stayed more or less secret until after the president's death.
Woodrow Wilson suffered several strokes in the years before he was elected, but never disclosed the information to the public. A subsequent stroke while he was in office, in 1919, was also kept quiet under the guise of a brief illness. His wife, Edith Wilson, partly took charge. "I don't know what you men make such a fuss about," she later said. "I had no trouble running the country when Woody was ill."
Perhaps the biggest deception came when Franklin D Roosevelt stood for a fourth term in 1944. Roosevelt was a wheelchair user and the public knew he suffered from polio. What they didn't know was that he had also been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, hypertension, acute bronchitis and pulmonary disease. Roosevelt's doctor issued a note saying he was in remarkably good health but he died a few months into his fourth term.
John F Kennedy made good use of his image as a young and vital man and in 1961 he became the youngest ever elected president, at just 43. But films of JFK playing football at Martha's Vineyard disguised a number of health problems including severe, chronic back pain and Addison's disease, a life-threatening problem with the adrenal glands that required daily steroids. | Video footage of Hillary Clinton stumbling as she made an early departure from Sunday's 9/11 memorial ceremony, and the subsequent revelation that she had been diagnosed two days earlier with pneumonia, have fuelled calls for the presidential candidates to publish their full medical records. |

Write a summary for this information. | Analogue listening declined year-on-year by 10.4%, accounting for 50.4% of overall listening, Rajar figures show.
"We are now counting down to the moment when the majority of all radio listening will be to digital," Digital Radio UK chief, Ford Ennals, said.
Some 30 million people (aged 15+) now tune into digital radio each week.
"The 12.5% annual growth in digital listening hours to nearly 42% share is the strongest we have seen for two years," Ennals said.
"The shift to digital listening is accelerating across the UK and the fact listening on analogue platforms has declined to just over 50% of people is a tipping point."
A further 7.7% of radio listening was listed as "unspecified" by respondents to the Rajar survey.
The rise in digital listening was reflected in record figures for BBC digital-only radio stations between July and September.
BBC Radio 4 Extra attracted an average 2.20 million listeners per week - a rise of 35% on the same period last year - to become the largest digital-only channel in the UK.
BBC Radio 5 live sports extra saw its audience jump 42% to 1.73 million listeners, with 2.19 million listeners tuning into BBC 6 Music.
Overall, BBC Radio 2 had the biggest weekly reach for any UK radio station with 15.4 million listeners - a new record for the period.
The Heart network had the highest audience for a commercial UK station with 9.1 million weekly listeners.
Chris Evans's Radio 2 breakfast show continued its success as the most popular morning programme with 9.4 million listening each week.
In London, Kiss was number one commercial radio station in London with 2.1 million weekly listeners. It overtook rival Capital by 3,000 listeners, which lost 5.2% of its audience over the quarter.
Despite Capital's breakfast show suffering a 14% drop of listeners from 1.15m to 980k, it is still the most popular show in London. | Digital radio listening is reaching a "tipping point" to overtake analogue audiences, according to the body in charge of digital radio switchover. |
What is the summary of the given information? | Anglesey council has granted outline planning permission for the 500-berth development at Newry beach.
One opponent said it would destroy the beach, but a town councillor said the area needed progress.
The developers say it will create 700 jobs, but one economics analyst described that forecast as optimistic.
Prof Peter Midmore of Aberystwyth University said other development across the UK had delivered only half the proposed jobs, in the best case scenario.
Prof Midmore said: "It's very, very difficult to argue against something that will definitely create jobs, but the problem is, I think with many developments - not just marinas - the predications of developers are very rarely tested."
He said the level of jobs proposed and then actually created had "never been tested in the case of any marina in the UK".
But he said at other similar developments, the best "have been around about half the predicted level".
He also added that because of the affects on other parts of a town, in some cases, it could actually lead to fewer jobs in an area.
Despite receiving eight petitions with more than 4,000 names and over 300 letters against the plans, the outline proposals were accepted by councillors on Anglesey at a meeting in Wednesday.
The plans include:
Eilian Williams, the solicitor representing the opponents said after the meeting: "It's not what I wanted, but it is what I expected. The economic argument is always a very forceful argument."
But David Lloyd Williams, of the Newry Beach Residents Association, where the marina will be built, said: "It is absolutely ridiculous to attempt to build an aquatic housing estate on the Newry beach, which is frankly the only amenity in Holyhead.
"It's the only convenience area which everybody enjoys.
"What this scheme will lead to is the destruction of the Newry beach as we know it.
"We already have a very good marina which has been trading now for about 12 years, and still after 12 years trading, half of the berths are not taken up.
"Nobody denies the need for jobs in Holyhead, especially for young people, but this is not the way forward."
However, Anne Kennedy, a town councillor for the ward, said she still supported the development.
"I've always said that these decisions are taken by professional people, long discussions, forensic questioning - which is what we did in the chamber in Holyhead council," she said.
"I was born and bred in that area and I don't give away my heritage lightly.
"We mustn't forget that Stena owns all of the land and they are investing, effectively, in their own property.
"With the lack of investment, nothing progresses, and that I'm afraid is the position with Newry beach at the moment.
"We need additional investment."
The facility would prevent jihadists from spreading their extremist ideology to the rest of society, he said.
The country's anti-terror law allows security forces to detain people suspected of terrorist activities for a long period without charge.
Kenya is battling home-grown militants linked to Islamist group al-Shabab, which is part of al-Qaeda.
In 2011, Kenyan troops entered neighbouring Somalia in an effort to stop the jihadists from carrying cross border attacks and kidnapping people.
Speaking at the passing-out parade of more than 2,000 prison wardens, Mr Kenyatta said additional money would be provided to meet logistical and operational requirements of the prison service.
The country's correctional facilities have previously been described as inhumane, with some of them heavily overpopulated, reports the BBC's Emmanuel Igunza from the capital, Nairobi.
At the moment, only death row inmates are kept in separate prison blocks from the rest of the convicts, he says.
It is not clear when and where the new prison will be set up.
Kenya contributes more than 4,000 troops to the 22,000-strong African Union force that is in Somalia helping the UN-backed government battle al-Shabab.
Al-Shabab in Kenya
Al-Shabab has staged numerous attacks in Kenya. It killed 147 people at Garissa University, near the border with Somalia, on 2 April 2015.
It killed 68 people when it attacked Nairobi's Westgate shopping centre in 2013.
There are also regular gun and grenade attacks attributed to the group both in border areas, where many Kenyans are ethnic Somalis, and in Nairobi.
Al-Shabab has also set up a recruiting network in Kenya, especially around the port city of Mombasa, which has a large Muslim population. | Campaigners opposed to a new £100m marina development at Holyhead on Anglesey say they are disappointed by the go-ahead for the project.

On Thursday, he was jailed at Swansea Crown Court for the "violent and protracted" attack.
The court heard Ms Lewis had been stamped on following a drunken row.
In the weeks running up to her death, she was covered in bruises and had a black eye - but told friends she had fallen.
After Hobbs attacked her in his home, Ms Lewis was dragged outside while half-dressed. She was found dead the next day.
Judge Keith Thomas said: "Andrea Lewis... became dominated by you. She felt unable to break ties with you and there is no doubt that you hit her regularly.
"Her friends and work colleagues saw injuries on her which she tried to disguise.
"The attack on her was violent and protracted... She was vulnerable and effectively defenceless."
After the hearing, Det Insp Rob Cronick said Ms Lewis had been "the victim of domestic abuse which ultimately led to her death".
During their free NHS health check, patients will be told when they should report memory problems to their GP.
Jeremy Hunt said the government's aim was for the UK to be the world's most "dementia-friendly" by 2020.
It comes after Alzheimer's Research UK warned the condition posed a "looming national health crisis".
Under the plans there is a new aim for 10% of all people diagnosed with dementia to take part in research to try to improve diagnosis and treatment of the condition.
The Care Quality Commission (CQC) will also include standards of dementia care in their inspections while current information on which regions are good at diagnosing the condition will be strengthened with Ofsted-style ratings.
Mr Hunt said seven-day services will also improve for dementia patients in hospitals in England, with patients in high dependency care seen and reviewed by a consultant twice a day, every day of the week, by 2020.

Could lifestyle hold answer to dementia?
Living at home with memory problems
Mr Hunt said: "A dementia diagnosis can bring fear and heartache, but I want Britain to be the best place in the world to live well with dementia.
"Last parliament we made massive strides on diagnosis rates and research - the global race is now on to find a cure for dementia and I want the UK to win it.
He added: "This parliament I want us to make big progress on the quality of care and treatment. Hospitals can be frightening and confusing places for people with dementia, so our new plan will guarantee them safer seven-day hospital care, as well as tackling unacceptable variations in quality across England through transparent Ofsted-style ratings."
The government has doubled research funding to £60m a year and invested £150m to develop a national Dementia Research Institute to drive forward new treatments.
Jeremy Hughes, chief executive of Alzheimer's Society, said: "Until recently, people with dementia were effectively cast out from society, but the tide is now turning.
"There are now nearly 1.5 million dementia friends helping to drive this change, and communities up and down the country are working to make streets, towns and cities more inclusive.
"But still many people with dementia face stigma and a health and care system that simply does not work for them - resulting in emergency hospital admissions, extended stays and desperate loneliness." | A man has been jailed for eight years for killing an ex-girlfriend who was found with 41 different injuries.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | The Penrose Inquiry urged a "look back" exercise to trace people unaware they had been infected with hepatitis C.
Thompsons Solicitors said a review group set up to examine how this should be done only met for the first time in October.
Health Secretary Shona Robison said the review group's work was "ongoing".
Between 1970 and 1991, an estimated 30,000 people across the UK were infected with Hepatitis C and/or HIV through blood products supplied by the NHS.
Scotland was the only part of the UK to hold an inquiry.
The report by Lord Penrose, published nearly a year ago, estimated that 2,500 people were infected through blood transfusions in Scotland, and concluded that more should be done to trace them.
It is known that there were at least 1,658 donations of infected blood but only 880 recipients were ever identified, and Lord Penrose concluded that these figures themselves may be an underestimate.
Thompsons said the working group had still not produced any recommendations on how to trace unidentified victims.
Case study - living with hepatitis C
"Paul", who is in his 40s, was diagnosed last month. He had a blood transfusion in May 1991 and now has cirrhosis of the liver.
"I was unwell, cold, muscles aching and twingeing. Shivery, headaches. I knew there was something wrong," he said.
"I changed doctors, and within a few weeks he had all the answers. I still can't get my head around it. I've not seen the specialist yet. The senior nurse told me I had stage 2 - cirrhosis of the liver. That's just another thing to try to deal with."
The diagnosis ended Paul's relationship, and he has not been able to work due to his severe symptoms.
"I don't take drugs, I don't drink, I don't abuse myself, I was fit and healthy guy until 15 months ago and it's been hell ever since. I've just got to rely on the government to help me live and I've never done that in my life."
Now Paul has to wait to see if he will be recommended for a new more effective treatment for hepatitis C, which is expensive, and has to be specially agreed by a panel of experts.
Senior solicitor at Thompsons Solicitors, Lindsay Bruce said: "The only recommendation of the Penrose report was to identify any individuals who may have been infected with contaminated blood.
"From the clients I've spoken to, they don't feel enough has been done. Had they been diagnosed earlier they would not be in the situation they are now.
"We've got several cases. The longer this disease is in someone's body the more damage it does. It's a ticking time bomb."
Cabinet Secretary for Health Shona Robison said work was under way to consider how best to identify other victims.
She said: "It is happening. That work is ongoing to look at how we can find any people out there.
"There have been attempts in the past to try to trace people and get them to come forward but Professor Goldberg [of Health Protection Scotland] is looking at what more we can do."
Last week the Scottish government announced increased financial support for victims. | The only recommendation of the inquiry into contaminated blood products has still not been implemented, according to lawyers representing some victims. |
What is the summary of the following article? | Theresa May is Britain's second female prime minister but, unlike her predecessor Margaret Thatcher, she came to power without an election.
She took over as leader of the governing Conservative Party last July following the resignation of David Cameron, who had gambled everything on Britain voting to stay in the European Union.
Like Mr Cameron, Mrs May had been against Brexit but she cleverly managed to keep the Eurosceptics in her party on side during the referendum campaign by keeping a low profile.
She reaped her reward by emerging as the unchallenged successor to Mr Cameron - portraying herself as a steady, reliable pair of hands who would deliver the will of the people and take Britain out of the EU in as orderly a fashion as possible.
The plan was for there to be no election until 2020, but as the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg explains, the political logic for going to the country earlier became inescapable.
With a commanding lead in the opinion polls, the bigger gamble might well have been to wait another three years and risk Brexit negotiations turning sour or the opposition Labour Party recovering ground.
The 60-year-old former home secretary has a reputation for a steady, unshowy approach to politics, although she was known in her early days at Westminster for her exotic taste in footwear and a fondness for high fashion (she named a lifetime subscription to Vogue as the luxury item she would take to a desert island).
She battled her way through the Westminster boy's club as one of a handful of women on the Conservative benches - she would later be joined by more female colleagues thanks, in part, to her own efforts as party chairman to get women candidates into winnable seats.
She developed a reputation as a tough, critics would say inflexible, operator, who was not afraid of delivering unpalatable home truths.
Some in the Conservative Party have never forgiven her for a 2002 conference speech in which she told members that "you know what some people call us - the nasty party".
Her lectures to Police Federation conferences as home secretary about the need for reform and to tackle corruption added to this steely reputation.
She was always ambitious but her rise through the ranks was steady, rather than meteoric.
Who is Theresa May?
The daughter of a Church of England vicar, Hubert, who died from injuries sustained in a car crash when she was only 25, Theresa May's middle class background has more in keeping with the last female occupant of Downing Street, Margaret Thatcher, than her immediate predecessor.
Born in Sussex but raised largely in Oxfordshire, Mrs May - both of whose grandmothers are reported to have been in domestic service - attended a state primary, an independent convent school and then a grammar school in the village of Wheatley, which became the Wheatley Park Comprehensive School during her time there.
The young Theresa Brasier, as she was then, threw herself into village life, taking part in a pantomime that was produced by her father and working in the bakery on Saturdays to earn pocket money.
Friends recall a tall, fashion-conscious young woman who from an early age spoke of her ambition to be the first woman prime minister.
Like Margaret Thatcher, she went to Oxford University to study and, like so many others of her generation, found that her personal and political lives soon became closely intertwined.
In 1976, in her third year, she met her husband Philip, who was president of the Oxford Union, a well-known breeding ground for future political leaders.
The story has it that they were introduced at a Conservative Association disco by the subsequent Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto. They married in 1980.
Her university friend Pat Frankland, speaking in 2011 on a BBC Radio 4 profile of the then home secretary, said: "I cannot remember a time when she did not have political ambitions.
"I well remember, at the time, that she did want to become the first woman prime minister and she was quite irritated when Margaret Thatcher got there first."
There are no tales of drunken student revelry, but Pat Frankland and other friends say May was not the austere figure she would later come to be seen as, saying she had a sense of fun and a full social life.
After graduating with a degree in Geography, May went to work in the City, initially starting work at the Bank of England and later rising to become head of the European Affairs Unit of the Association for Payment Clearing Services.
But it was already clear that she saw her future in politics. She was elected as a local councillor in Merton, south London, and served her ward for a decade, rising to become deputy leader. However, she was soon setting her sights even higher.
Mrs May, who has become a confidante as well as role model for aspiring female MPs - told prospective candidates before the 2015 election that "there is always a seat out there with your name on it".
In her case - like that of Margaret Thatcher - it took a bit of time for her to find hers. She first dipped her toe in the water in 1992, where she stood in the safe Labour seat of North West Durham, coming a distant second to Hilary Armstrong, who went on to become Labour's chief whip in the Blair government. Her fellow candidates in that contest also included a very youthful Tim Farron, who is now Lib Dem leader.
Two years later, she stood in Barking, east London, in a by-election where - with the Conservative government at the height of its unpopularity - she got fewer than 2,000 votes and saw her vote share dip more than 20%. But her luck was about to change.
The Conservatives' electoral fortunes may have hit a nadir in 1997, when Tony Blair came to power in a Labour landslide, but there was a silver lining for the party and for the aspiring politician when she won the seat of Maidenhead in Berkshire. It's a seat she has held ever since.
An early advocate of Conservative "modernisation" in the wilderness years that followed, Mrs May quickly joined the shadow cabinet in 1999 under William Hague as shadow education secretary and in 2002 she became the party's first female chairman under Iain Duncan Smith.
She then held a range of senior posts under Michael Howard but was conspicuously not part of the "Notting Hill set" which grabbed control of the party after its third successive defeat in 2005 and laid David Cameron and George Osborne's path to power.
This was perhaps reflected in the fact that she was initially given the rather underwhelming job of shadow leader of the House of Commons. But she gradually raised her standing and by 2009 had become shadow work and pensions secretary.
Nevertheless, her promotion to the job of home secretary when the Conservatives joined with the Lib Dems to form the first coalition government in 70 years was still something of a surprise - given that Chris Grayling had been shadowing the brief in opposition.
While the Home Office turned out to be the political graveyard of many a secretary of state in previous decades, Mrs May refused to let this happen - mastering her brief with what was said to be a microscopic attention to detail and no little willingness to enter into battles with fellow ministers when she thought it necessary.
While some in Downing Street worried that the Home Office was becoming her own personal fiefdom, she engendered loyalty among her ministers and was regarded as "unmovable" as her tough-talking style met with public approval even when the department's record did not always seem so strong.
In his memoir of his time in office, former Lib Dem minister David Laws says: "She would frequently clash with George Osborne over immigration. She rarely got on anything but badly with Michael Gove. She and Cameron seemed to view each other with mutual suspicion.
"I first met her in 2010. I was sitting in my Treasury office, overlooking St James's Park, me in one armchair and the home secretary in the other, with no officials present. She looked nervous.
"I felt she was surprised to find herself as home secretary. Frankly, I didn't expect her to last more than a couple of years."
Despite her liberal instincts in some policy areas, she frequently clashed with the then deputy prime minister and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, particularly over her plan to increase internet surveillance to combat terrorism, dubbed the "Snooper's Charter" by the Lib Dems.
After one "difficult" meeting with Mr Clegg, he reportedly told David Laws: "You know, I've grown to rather like Theresa May... 'She's a bit of an Ice Maiden and has no small talk whatsoever - none. I have quite difficult meetings with her. Cameron once said, 'She's exactly like that with me too!'
"She is instinctively secretive and very rigid, but you can be tough with her and she'll go away and think it all through again."
On the plus side crime levels fell, the UK avoided a mass terrorist attack and in 2013, she successfully deported radical cleric Abu Qatada - something she lists as one of her proudest achievements, along with preventing the extradition to America of computer hacker Gary McKinnon.
She was not afraid to take on vested interests, stunning the annual conference of the Police Federation in 2014 by telling them corruption problems were not just limited to "a few bad apples" and threatening to end the federation's automatic right to enrol officers as its members.
However, the Passport Office suffered a near meltdown while she faced constant criticism over the government's failure to meet its promise to get net migration down to below 100,000 a year.
Labour MP Yvette Cooper, who went up against her in the Commons as shadow home secretary, told The Guardian: "I respect her style - it is steady and serious. She is authoritative in parliament - superficial attacks on her bounce off.
"The flip side is that she is not fleet of foot when crises build, she digs in her heels (remember the Passport Agency crisis in 2014 when the backlog caused hundreds to miss their holidays, and the Border Force crisis in 2011 when border checks were axed).
"And she hides when things go wrong. No interviews, no quotes, nothing to reassure people or to remind people she even exists. It's helped her survive as home secretary - but if you are prime minister, eventually the buck has to stop."
There was a bitter public row with cabinet colleague Michael Gove over the best way to combat Islamist extremism, which ended with Mr Gove having to apologise to the prime minister and Mrs May having to sack a long-serving special adviser - a turf war which is said to have led to a diminution in her admiration for the prime minister.
Former Conservative chancellor Ken Clarke also had run-ins with her and was recorded on camera ahead of an interview last week saying that Mrs May was good at her job but a "bloody difficult woman" - before adding as an aside, a bit like Mrs Thatcher. A reference to be Conservative leader can hardly come better than that.
Mrs May has never been one of the most clubbable of politicians and is someone who prefers not having to tour the tea rooms of the House of Commons - where tittle-tattle is freely exchanged.
She has rarely opened up about her private life although she revealed in 2013 that she had been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and would require insulin injections twice a day for the rest of her life - something she says she had come to terms with and which would not affect her career.
Generally thought to be in the mainstream of Conservative thinking on most economic and law and order issues, she has also challenged convention by attacking police stop and search powers and calling for a probe into the application of Sharia Law in British communities.
She also expressed a personal desire to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights but later said she would not pursue this as PM due to a lack of parliamentary support - an example of what many believe will be pragmatism in office.
Her social attitudes are slightly harder to pin down. She backed same sex marriage. She expressed a personal view in 2012 that the legal limit on abortion should be lowered from 24 to 20 weeks. Along with most Conservative MPs she voted against an outright ban on foxhunting.
What is undisputable is that at 59, Mrs May was the oldest leader to enter Downing Street since James Callaghan in 1976 and is the first prime minister since Ted Heath who does not have children.
One of Westminster's shrewdest as well as toughest operators, Mrs May's decision to campaign for the UK to remain in the EU but to do so in an understated way and to frame her argument in relatively narrow security terms reaped dividends after the divisive campaign.
During what turned out to be a short-lived leadership campaign, Mrs May played strongly on her weight of experience, judgement and reliability in a time of crisis.
The first months of Mrs May's time in Downing Street have been dominated by the process of divorcing the UK from the EU - but there have been signs that she won't be content with the "safe pair of hands" tag that is often attached to her.
Brexit, she has said, won't be allowed purely to define her time in office and she has promised a radical programme of social reform, underpinned by values of One Nation Toryism, to promote social mobility and opportunity for the more disadvantaged in society.
Policies such as new grammar schools or more selection have been put forward - but with a slender parliamentary majority of 17 her government had little breathing room on bringing forward tightly contested legislation.
So, despite promising not to hold a general election before she had to, in 2020, she has now decided to seek a mandate for her own particular brand of Conservatism to, as she put it, to "guarantee certainty and security for the years ahead". | A look at the life and times of the UK's Prime Minister, Theresa May, who has decided to call a general election for 8 June. |

The industry body is fronting a campaign calling on the UK government to abolish the automatic annual increase in duty on wines and spirits.
The alcohol duty escalator, which goes up by inflation plus 2% each year, was introduced in 2008 but was scrapped for beer in George Osborne's last Budget.
The Treasury has said 90% of Scotch was exported and unaffected by UK duty.
But, according to the association, some 79% of the price of an average bottle of Scotch whisky is made up of duty and VAT.
It said if the alcohol duty escalator were implemented again at this week's Budget, this would raise that figure to 81%.
The whisky industry body claimed Scotch sales in the UK had declined since the introduction of the escalator.
Its Call Time on Duty campaign was also backed by the Wine & Spirit Trade Association and the Taxpayers' Alliance.
Scotch Whisky Association chief executive David Frost said: "We urge the chancellor to listen to that large majority of the population who believe the alcohol duty escalator is simply unfair to a major Scottish, and British, industry.
"An overhaul of the alcohol duty system would support not just the Scotch whisky industry, but also the wider hospitality industry, which provides employment across the UK."

Emmett the cheetah cub was born in Ohio, USA, and had to be looked after by people, because he was unwell for several weeks after being born.
Now, he's at a new home at Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, and is growing up with his Labrador friend, Cullen.
Staff at the zoo say that cheetahs are naturally nervous animals, so Cullen will help Emmett to be more confident and calm.
Labour held the seat, with an increased majority for Bridget Phillipson.
UKIP leapfrogged the Conservatives to reach second place, increasing their vote more than seven-fold from 2010.
The Lib Dems came last after the Greens, with their share of the vote dropping to 791 from 7,191 in 2010, and losing their deposit.
Being the first to declare added an "extra bit of pressure" but it was good for Sunderland to get national recognition, Ms Phillipson said.
UKIP candidate Richard Elvin said the party in the area had "come a long way in five years" and described it as a "terrific achievement".
There was a similar pattern in Sunderland Central, which declared next, with Julie Elliott retaining it for Labour.
The Conservatives were second and UKIP significantly increased its vote to come third.
Labour also held Washington and Sunderland West, with UKIP beating the Conservatives.
Once again, the Liberal Democrats saw a large drop in their share of the vote - 993 compared with 6,382 in 2010.
All three Sunderland constituencies declared before midnight and the three Labour MPs - all women - increased their majority.
Elsewhere across Northumberland, Tyneside, Wearside and County Durham, there were few changes.
The North East is a Labour heartland and in many constituencies it increased its share of the vote, mostly at the expense of the Liberal Democrats.
Labour held the three Newcastle seats with the Liberal Democrats pushed into fourth place behind the Conservatives and UKIP.
Newcastle East Liberal Democrat candidate Wendy Taylor said: "I'm very, very disappointed. I really didn't think it was going to be as bad as this."
Labour hold on to Wansbeck and Blyth Valley, Conservatives kept their hold on Hexham, and in Berwick-upon-Tweed the Conservatives won by 4,914 votes, with the Liberal Democrats dropping to second place and Labour third.
There were also local elections, with Labour retaining its seats on Sunderland and Newcastle councils.

Details of the victim of the crash are yet to be released.
Police Scotland closed the road in both directions for several hours while crash investigations took place. It has now reopened.
The 18-year-old from Eltham, south London, was held after the crash in Sir Thomas Longley Road, Medway City Estate, Strood at 22:16 BST on Friday.
Four men with serious injuries, aged between 20 and 50, were taken to King's College Hospital, London.
Another five people were taken to Medway Maritime Hospital.
Four people were injured but did not require hospital treatment.
Police said none of the injuries was life-threatening.
Officers were already at the scene dealing with reports of a disturbance involving nuisance vehicles when the accident happened.
"We are conducting numerous enquiries into this incident and would like to speak to anyone with information who has not yet spoken to officers," said Sgt Scott Lynch.

Druids and pagans were joined by a mass of revellers at the ancient monument to celebrate the spring or vernal equinox.
Open access to the stones was given from first light, 05:45 GMT, by English Heritage which manages the site.

Despite a cloudy forecast, @Stonehenge tweeted that the gathering had been "blessed with a perfect sunrise".
"A lot of people are coming out to sacred places to celebrate the turning of the wheel, which is what paganism is about," said Mr Pendragon.
"We don't worship nature, we worship the divine through nature and so we worship at the times of the year when it's auspicious - spring, summer, autumn and winter."
The Department for Communities and Local Government said about 37,080 new homes were started in the last quarter of 2015, up 23% on the previous year.
Completions were up by 22% to 37,230.
Ministers said they had "got the country building again" but housing charity Shelter said the increase was "not good enough".
In the year up to December, 143,560 new homes were started, which was up by 6% on 2014 - 22% below 2007's peak but 91% up on the slump recorded in 2009.
Homes built by private developers were up by 8% but those built by housing associations down by 1%.
The report said the highest completion rates were found in a band starting to the north of the London green belt, running through Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Leicestershire, with strong completion levels also around Devon and Gloucestershire in the South West.
Areas with the lowest completion rates include Kingston upon Thames, Southend-on-Sea and Gravesham, it said.
Housing Minister Brandon Lewis said the amount of new homes completed had hit a "seven-year high", adding: "However we're not complacent.
"That's why we've set out the most ambitious housing vision for more than a generation, doubling the housing budget so we can meet our ambition of delivering a million new homes."
But Labour's housing spokesman John Healey said the total was "still falling far short of what the country needs".
"Ministers have talked up the economic recovery, but these figures show that there were more than 20% fewer new homes started last year than before the global financial crisis," he said.

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Kenneth Meech, 51, of Alexandra Road, Cleethorpes, watched his club win 3-1 at Barnet in a Conference game on 21 February.
Willesden Magistrates' Court heard he assaulted Barnet steward Cgagi Gladyng as he celebrated the victory.
Meech, who was among nearly 1,000 fans who travelled to The Hive stadium, denied a charge of common assault.
Mr Gladyng, 59, told the court he was hurt by the inflatable which was being waved "like an axe" and described the three blows to his head "as like being hit by a roll of paper".
He said he became frightened as the Grimsby Town fans surged towards the pitch.
Meech was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £700 in costs, compensation of £100 and a victim surcharge.
He was not made the subject of a football banning order.
Speaking after the sentencing, he claimed the prosecution was a "waste of the taxpayer's money".
"I'm a bit deflated, to be honest," he said.
"Very surprised and shocked by the verdict, but got to respect what the court has said.
"I think if this didn't happen at football I wouldn't be here today, I'm sure of that."
The fish is to be granted protected geographical indication (PGI) status, meaning it has a particular quality attributable to its place of origin.
It means salmon caught in other countries cannot be packaged, sold or advertised as Scottish wild salmon.
The ruling by the European Commission comes into effect in 20 days.
Scottish farmed salmon was awarded PGI status in 2004.
Scottish Salmon Producers' Organisation chief executive Scott Landsburgh said: "PGI status has helped to enhance the reputation of farmed salmon in major export markets.
"It is a good promotional tool and helps to protect against imitation.
"We hope the new award for Scottish wild salmon brings commercial success too."
The salmon will join a list of about 1,000 products which are protected by the legislation, including Scottish beef and lamb.

The inspector's report is the first since 40 inmates rioted two years ago, causing damage put at £150,000.
It said some healthcare staff were worried about their safety when treating prisoners.
The prison inspection was carried out between November and December last year.
The new jail was said to be good at preparing prisoners for returning to the community, but overall health and wellbeing was rated as poor.
It said that some NHS nurses had been verbally abused by prisoners and were understandably sometimes nervous.
A total of 506 prisoners can be held at the new prison. At the time of the inspection there were 431, with no male young offenders, and three female young offenders.
The report found the prison was well-maintained and clean, with inmates feeling safe within the prison.
It also noted "considerable efforts" being made to help prisoners maintain good contact with relatives.
However, concern was raised that some prisoners held separately for their own protection could spend 23 hours a day in their cells.

Can you summarize this content? | The St George Illawarra second row has made five appearances for Wales and featured in the 2011 Four Nations and 2013 World Cup.
Born in Wollongong, Australia, the 24-year-old qualifies to play for Wales through his Swansea-born father.
Frizell can continue to represent Wales as they are a tier two nation and Australia are tier one.
Players for tier two nations - teams ranked fourth to 10th in the world - can also compete, where eligible, for one of the big three nations, Australia, England and New Zealand.
Frizell was left out of the Wales squad for the 2017 World Cup qualifiers with Serbia and Italy in October, after telling coaching staff he was unavailable for selection.
He is one of seven new names in the Kangaroos squad, who face Scotland in their opening game at Hull KR's Lightstream Stadium on 28 October.
Australia squad: Cameron Smith (captain), Darius Boyd, Shannon Boyd, Boyd Cordner, Cooper Cronk, Josh Dugan, Blake Ferguson, Jake Friend, Tyson Frizell, Matt Gillett, Valentine Holmes, Greg Inglis, David Klemmer, James Maloney, Josh Mansour, Trent Merrin, Michael Morgan, Matt Moylan, Justin O'Neill, Josh Papalii, Matt Scott, Sam Thaiday, Johnathan Thurston, Aaron Woods
The use of organophosphate dips in the 1970s and 80s was the focus of a 30-minute Westminster debate led by Newport East MP, Jessica Morden.
Until 1992 it was compulsory to dip sheep to prevent the condition "sheep scab"
Ms Morden said the full scale of the problem has never been acknowledged.
Her constituent Stephen Forward, from Undy near Caldicot, Monmouthshire, explained how he suffered flu-like systems when he first starting working with the substance on his father's farm in 1979 after leaving school.
"The first time I used the organophosphate sheep dips I felt unwell," he said, describing dizziness, nausea, headaches and fatigue.
But it was not until 1991 that he linked his ill health with his work and sheep dip, after reading a newspaper report while recovering in bed after another poisoning episode.
Ms Morden said: "There have been some legal challenges over the years but, I think, part of the problem is it's not been acknowledged.
"So part of what I am calling for in the debate today is for all the papers to be released so we can look through what evidence was out there at the time.
"For people like Stephen the sad thing is that by the time he was diagnosed by the national poisons unit, it was too late really to treat him and he had to live with those very chronic conditions which have hugely blighted his life."

Give a concise summary of the following information. | The airport said the blunder happened during a planned upgrade of the consultation website and it "apologised wholeheartedly".
The airport has now extended the consultation for an extra week until Monday 19 September and urged people to resubmit.
Campaigners against the new flight path said it was "shocking incompetence".
Officials are contacting 21 of the 199 people whose responses were lost, as they had included their email addresses.
Gordon Robertson, Edinburgh Airport's director of communications, said: "Edinburgh Airport has been conducting its Lets Go Further ACP consultation since June this year and has already had an excellent response with thousands of submissions.
"We have identified that responses submitted via the consultation website between 10:31 on Monday 29 August and 00:05 Friday 2 September did not save during a planned upgrade of the site.
"Although this is a relatively small number of responses in the context of the overall number of submissions, we are committed to ensuring that all who want to comment on our plans can.
"We apologise wholeheartedly for this and believe that this extension offers sufficient time for people to resubmit their input."
A spokesman for campaign group Edinburgh Airport Watch said: "This is simply shocking incompetence, even for Edinburgh Airport.
"Their consultation is fatally flawed, and for the sake of their reputation they must scrap this unnecessary and bungled ACP process now.
"We further call on the airport to reverse the changes they have already made to airspace without any consultation that are already causing misery to thousands across West Lothian, Falkirk and Fife, and to seriously rethink their deplorable approach to community engagement."
It follows a report that was published in February by Edinburgh Airport with findings from last year's trial, which saw planes take off towards the Forth, passing over West Lothian.
The trial was held to find a way for planes to depart every minute at peak times instead of every two minutes.
At the time, Stop Edinburgh Airspace Trial said noise had caused "misery" to the public.
The trial was stopped early after nearly 8,000 complaints from 567 individuals, although the report said 57% were not about trial flights but were about aircraft operating on flight paths that have existed since the runway was built in the mid-1970s.
The trial route, which was called Tutur, had been due to run from 25 June 2015 until 24 December 2015.
However, it was halted on 28 October.

Two stations serving the villages closed in 1965 when the areas' population was 500. It is now expected to rise to 10,000 in the next 10 years.
The application - for one new station - has been made by Monmouthshire council and the Magor Action Group on Rail.
It asks for £5.2m of funding, with the rest of the money anticipated to come from the Welsh Government.
The station would have 150m (492ft) platforms on the outside of the current relief tracks and there are recommendations for an adjoining community centre.
Monmouthshire council leader Peter Fox said: "The return of railway travel for Magor and Undy after many years will be welcomed by the community.

The Oxford academic photographed his neighbour Alice Liddell, daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, as a girl.
Years later she was photographed by him again, as well as by Julia Margaret Cameron whose work is also featured.
Carroll's fascination with Liddell, who died aged 82 in 1934, has been the subject of speculation.
Phillip Prodger, the show's curator, said: "Much has been written about the relationship between Carroll and Alice.
"We will never know exactly how Carroll himself felt about his subjects, and there is no doubt he developed deep personal attachments with many of his sitters.
"Nevertheless, Carroll nearly always photographed his children with their parents present, and no claims of impropriety were ever made in his lifetime.
"For Victorian artists, children represented the blank slate of humanity - the potential to experience pure thought and feeling before the corruptions of modern life intervened."
The images of Liddell as a girl come from the gallery's own collection, but have only rarely been on display.
The exhibition will also feature portraits of Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-79), Oscar Rejlander (1813-75) and Lady Clementina Hawarden (1822-65) as well as Carroll (1832-98).

Provide a summary of the section below. | The men, who appeared dressed in bike helmets and flak jackets, are accused of killing the pair on Koh Tao island.
Thailand's police commissioner has said DNA samples taken from Ms Witheridge's body matched those of the two men.
The bodies of Ms Witheridge, 23, and Mr Miller, 24, were found on the beach on 15 September with severe head injuries.
The two men - identified as "Saw" and "Win" - face charges of murder, rape and robbery, the country's national police chief, General Somyot Poompanmoung, said.
The pair are both from Myanmar, also known as Burma.
A reward of about £13,000 had been offered for information leading to arrests.
For the news conference, the two suspects were taken to the beach on Koh Tao where the bodies were found, BBC Myanmar correspondent Jonah Fisher said.
Our correspondent said the pair re-enacted the alleged events of the night, with one of them holding a garden implement above his head and then showing how the fatal blows were apparently inflicted.
He said the pair are expected to appear before a court in Thailand early next week.
"The sense from the Thai police is they believe the DNA evidence is crucial, they have established the link between these two men and the body of Hannah Witheridge.
"They say that last night when presented with that evidence they confessed," our correspondent said.
The men wore motorcycle helmets and flak jackets at the news conference and during the re-enactment to protect them from angry residents, the AP news agency reported.
More than 100 officers have been involved in the investigation and have been collecting evidence and taking DNA samples from those working on Koh Tao.
A post-mortem examination found that Mr Miller, from Jersey, was killed by severe blows to the head and drowning.
Mr Miller's funeral is due to take place later. In advance of the service, his family asked for privacy.
A statement from Ian, Sue and Michael Miller said: "We have been overwhelmed by the breadth and depth of support provided to us by so many here in Jersey and also by people far away.
"We were also particularly touched by the vigil and prayers held by good people on Koh Tao."
An inquest which opened in Norwich earlier this week heard that Ms Witheridge, from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, died on the beach from "severe head injuries".
A full inquest will take place on 6 January.
A man, a woman and a baby girl died in the fire at Langley Mill in the early hours of Sunday morning.
It is believed the fire may have spread from a car parked outside flats.
"Police are not in a position to give any further details of those who died in the fire as they are still tracing family members," police said.
"Investigating officers say they are keeping an open mind as to the cause of the fire and have not ruled anything out at this early stage in the inquiry," police said.
Several neighbours said they heard an argument outside the flat on Saturday before the fire.
One resident of the property, Sean Needham, said he passed his six-year-old disabled son out of a window into his neighbour's arms.
Five of the occupants were taken to hospital for treatment and later released.
Several neighbouring properties were evacuated after the fire due to a gas leak caused by the blaze.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | A group of academics and business leaders says a new cross-party body should set long-term educational goals protected from the electoral cycle.
They also want more emphasis on team working and problem-solving, and a baccalaureate system at A-level.
But the Department for Education said it was equipping pupils for the future.
"The secondary curriculum must support the economic strategy of the country" is the opening sentence of the first of 13 recommendations made in the report.
It calls for a new independent body to oversee the development of the curriculum in England, made up of teachers, employers, academics and representatives from the political parties.
It says the body would provide "consistency" and be able to take a strategic view rather than just concentrating on the electoral cycle.
The group points out that, on average, education secretaries have remained in post for two years over the past 25-year period.
The report, Making Education Work, follows a six-month review of England's education system by an independent advisory group, made up of prominent business leaders and chaired by an academic, Prof Sir Roy Anderson.
Among its wide-ranging conclusions is a recommendation for a broader curriculum at A-level, which should be gradually changed to a European-style baccalaureate system to include the study of English, maths and the Extended Project qualification.
The group wants more emphasis on "team working, emotional maturity, empathy and other interpersonal skills", which it says are "as important as proficiency in English and mathematics in ensuring young people's employment prospects".
Sir Roy Anderson emphasised the need for a long-term view, saying: "Successful businesses have clear objectives and goals which they pursue consistently over time, yet changes in government make it difficult to achieve this for education".
"This new independent advisory group on the curriculum will build on the current government's efforts to bring in a more diverse range of experts and experience into the education system, and create a long-term vision for us to work together towards the interests of young people," he added.
Sir Michael Rake, the chairman of BT who is also CBI president, is a member of the group.
He believes the current system has failed to meet the country's economic needs.
"Over the last 25 years and longer there have been multiple initiatives from different secretaries of state which have not achieved the necessary improvement in educational standards," he said.
"It is therefore time to establish a cross-party apolitical approach to education to move on from our narrow outdated focus with A-levels, and to improve on the other competencies necessary for success, including the fundamental need to improve the basic skills of literacy and numeracy, which are at an unacceptably low level."
But the Department for Education said its "new curriculum" had been developed after "extensive consultation with a wide range of experts".
"Alongside wider reform to GCSEs, A-levels and vocational qualifications this will mean young people leave school with the skills and qualifications they need to secure a job, apprenticeship or university place," a spokesperson added.
"As this week's results show, our plan to fix the education system is working and helping ensure all our children have a secure and prosperous future."
The DfE also points out that its new Tech Level qualifications have been endorsed by leading international companies, and lead to recognised professions including engineering, accounting, IT and construction.
The Association of School and College Leaders, which represents head teachers, gave the report an enthusiastic welcome.
The association's general secretary, Brian Lightman, said it had been calling for a similar approach for some time.
"Countries that do consistently well in international comparisons, like Singapore, have a long-term plan for their education service that rises above political considerations and is not driven by the electoral cycle," he said, "and there is no reason why England should not be able to do the same."
It was also welcomed by Mary Bousted from the Association of Teachers and Lecturers.
"Teachers have long despaired of politicians trying to make their mark by turning the curriculum 180-degrees every few years," she said.
She also welcomed the report's stress on the importance of empathy and emotional maturity.
"Education should not just be about turning out effective employees, but also about developing young people to have caring relationships and to be questioning citizens." | England's education system is failing to meet the country's long-term economic needs and requires a radical overhaul, a report warns. |
What is the summary of the following article? | The 35-year-old man was also jailed for two years for his offence, following an investigation into a paedophile ring.
The books include Anne Frank's Diary and the poems of Emily Dickinson.
Judge Paola Di Nicola reportedly hoped the books would help his 15-year-old victim understand the damage done to her dignity as a woman.
However, one author whose book was among those on the list told Corriere della Sera newspaper that it would have been better if the judge had read the works to the convicted man instead.
"Adolescence is not the time for reflection. What he did was much worse: an adult who, knowingly, paid for sex with a minor," said Adriana Cavarero, a philosophy professor at Verona university and author of Notwithstanding Plato.
The ruling follows a three-year investigation into a major paedophile ring in Rome that preyed on two girls aged 14 and 15 in the upmarket suburb of Parioli. The mastermind has been jailed for nine years.
The teenagers were lured into sex work with cash that they used to buy new clothes and the latest mobile phones, investigators said.
The man was brought from the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, by PSNI extradition officers on Thursday.
The charges, which include rape, sexual assault and grievous bodily harm with intent, date from 2011 in Lurgan.
A European arrest warrant for the man was issued in Northern Ireland.
The victim, named locally as Quamari Barnes, was attacked near his school in Kensal Green in north-west London on Monday afternoon.
The Met has yet to confirm his identity but said next of kin had been informed.
A teenage boy, also aged 15, was arrested on suspicion of murder on Tuesday afternoon. He is still being questioned at a north London station.
Emergency services were called to Doyles Garden at 15:30 GMT on Monday.
Paramedics treated Quamari at the scene but he was later pronounced dead in hospital.
Tributes have been left outside his school, Capital City Academy, since the attack.
BBC London's Jonathan Savage said candles were still burning for the teenager on Wednesday.
"The 15-year-old was described by one friend as one of the most bubbly and energetic people you could meet," he said.
Quamari's aunt Sylvia Tella said: "A young life was cut brutally short outside of school.
"He was not a bad boy. That's always the excuse, 'oh he was involved with drugs or he was involved with guns or he was part of a gang'. This one wasn't. This one was a good boy. This one was a credit to his family."

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "The events... are devastating and our thoughts are with the family, friends and colleagues of the staff member."
A man in his 60s was arrested on suspicion of murder and is currently in custody.
Gloucestershire Police said it had been granted a further 36 hours to question the man and "secure and preserve further evidence".
Det Ch Insp Steve Porter, the senior investigating officer, said: "The family are extremely distressed at the tragic loss of their loved one and have asked for some privacy and time to grieve during this difficult period."
A meeting of the trust and police about the attack took place earlier.
Tanya Palmer, regional manager for the public services union, Unison, said the news was "utterly devastating".
"A number of our members have phoned us this morning in utter distress saying they can't believe it's happened," she said.
"They feel absolutely worried about everybody involved."
According to NHS figures, 679 staff at the trust were assaulted in 2012-13 out of 2,346 declared staff.
The number is down from the previous year where 783 staff were assaulted.
Ms Wall was helped by her colleagues following the attack at 07:30 BST on Wednesday, before being taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, the spokesman said.
"It is with deep sadness that we confirm that our colleague died a short time later. Our thoughts remain with their family and friends at this extremely difficult time."
The 88-bed Wotton Lawn Hospital has four admission wards, a psychiatric intensive care unit, and a low secure unit.
It is one of four sites 2gether runs in Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. The trust said it cares for more than 1,300 people a year in its hospitals.

Admin assistant at the endoscopy unit, Denise Luckman, 44, said: "I've worked here for 10 years and nothing like this has ever happened.
"It has been a huge shock to everybody. You don't expect to go to work, to care for patients, and to have that happen.
"All the staff are very subdued. It just shows that these things can happen."

What is the summary of the document provided? | The world's biggest carmaker said net profit rose 14% in the July to September quarter to 611.7bn yen ($5bn; £3.2bn).
Its quarterly sales increased by 8.4% to 7.1tn yen, thanks to a weaker yen.
But despite robust sales in its biggest market of North America, Toyota cut its annual sales target because of slowing sales in Japan and emerging markets.
It now expects to sell 10 million vehicles worldwide in the year to March 2016, down 150,000 vehicles from its previous forecast.
"The auto market especially in developed economies will remain strong, but Asia may not recover as much as we are hoping to see, so we are more cautious on our emerging market forecast," said managing officer Tetsuya Otake.
The lower outlook comes despite Toyota regaining the crown of the world's largest carmaker by sales in the first nine months of this year from Germany's Volkswagen.
Toyota's second quarter operating profit rose 26% to 827.4bn yen. The carmaker has been trying to cut costs and improve productivity at its manufacturing plants as it faces a downturn in many markets.
The company recalled 6.5 million vehicles globally last month over a faulty window switch, which was the latest in a string of recalls for the auto giant.
The Briton, 37, will make a decision on his future in June after being stripped of the WBA super-middleweight belt for not defending his title.
Froch told BBC Radio 5 live: "I need the motivation, I need the fear factor and Golovkin brings that.
"If I decide to fight again, Golovkin's an opponent I'd definitely like."
He added: "But it's a very big 'if' because one of my options is to retire."
Froch, who has already given up his IBF belt, has not fought since defeating George Groves at Wembley nearly a year ago.
A clash with Julio Chavez Jr in Las Vegas in March fell through because of the Nottingham fighter's elbow injury.
"I still love boxing, that's the problem, and at 37 I know I can still do it," said Froch. "I don't want to look back at 43 and say 'why didn't I take that one last fight?'
"I can safely say in maybe the first week of June I will be making an announcement."

Ofcom has issued the firm with a £42m fine, which it said was the largest it has ever handed down.
It found BT's Openreach division had cut compensation payments to telecoms providers for delays in installing the lines between early 2013 and late 2014.
Openreach said it "apologised wholeheartedly" for the mistakes.
The investigation found BT had broken rules about its "significant market power" by cutting the payments.
Gaucho Rasmussen, Ofcom's investigations director, said: "These high-speed lines are a vital part of this country's digital backbone.
"We found BT broke our rules by failing to pay other telecoms companies proper compensation when these services were not provided on time.
"The size of our fine reflects how important these rules are to protect competition and, ultimately, consumers and businesses."
Openreach provides the wires and cables that powers the UK's broadband and landline phone network.
In this case, it failed to pay full compensation to providers when it was late installing ethernet lines - high-speed cables used by large businesses, and mobile and broadband providers, to transmit data.
Earlier this month, BT agreed to Ofcom's demands for it to legally separate Openreach from its main business.
Under the changes, Openreach will become a distinct company with its own staff, management and strategy "to serve all of its customers equally".
BT chief executive Gavin Patterson said the investigation "revealed we fell short of the high standards" for serving telecoms providers.
"We take this issue very seriously and we have put in place measures, controls and people to prevent it happening again," he said.
Students at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich claim the figures, by the acclaimed artist Sir Antony Gormley, resemble people contemplating jumping off.
The work is part of an exhibition by the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and will be on display for five years.
UEA said it "is proud" to be hosting "thought-provoking work".
One student told BBC Look East: "I really did think it was someone who was going to jump off a building."
Another student said of the cast iron figures: "I can see why they might startle someone, especially if they haven't been forewarned they're there."
In a statement, UEA said: "The university is proud to be hosting though-provoking work by an artist of such international acclaim.
"The reaction of the university community... has been overwhelmingly positive and we are sure the three figures will become much-loved focal points in our campus landscape."
Gormley is one the UK's leading artists and is probably best known for his Angel of the North.
However, his Event Horizon work - a touring exhibition which features human forms placed on top of buildings - has previously provoked fearful reactions.
In 2010, police in New York received calls from people who mistook human-shaped sculptures on the top of tall buildings for people about to jump.
There were similar concerns when the work was shown on London's South Bank in 2007 and the project was cancelled in Hong Kong in 2014 because a banker had jumped to his death the same year. | Photographs by Josh Smith

Write a brief summary of the document. | Voter discontent over immigration and huge job losses translated into big gains for Eurosceptics of various political hues, more than doubling their representation. About one-third of the 751 MEPs are Eurosceptic.
Some anti-establishment parties have got into parliament for the first time, including Beppe Grillo's Five Star Movement (Italian) and Germany's Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD).
But the May elections resulted in the centre-right European People's Party (EPP) coming top, albeit with 53 fewer seats. As in the 2009 elections, the centre-left Socialist group (S&D) came second.
These two dominant centrist blocs share the ambition to create a more integrated EU, with the European Parliament at the heart of decision-making. Opponents call them "federalists" and a "European elite" who are undermining national sovereignty.
The centrists have already got their candidates into two top jobs - European Commission president (Jean-Claude Juncker of the EPP) and Parliament president (Martin Schulz of the S&D). Mr Juncker still needs approval by the parliament, but it is clear that a majority backs him.
The 2009 Lisbon Treaty gave the European Parliament an equal role with the Council - ministers from EU governments - in enacting EU legislation. This "co-decision" covers nearly all policy areas, including the EU budget.
MEPs also play a key role in overseeing the EU's foreign policy arm - the European External Action Service - and other EU agencies.
In September MEPs will vet candidates for the Commission, the 28-member executive arm which initiates EU laws. Parliamentary approval is required for the new Commission to take office.
Full sessions of the parliament are held in Strasbourg, France, but MEPs spend most of their time at the parliament building in Brussels.
That expensive monthly commute to Strasbourg is a sore point - last year a majority of MEPs voted to end it. But an EU treaty change is required for that to happen - and France and Luxembourg are against it. Since World War Two Strasbourg has thrived on its image as a bridge between France and Germany.
Eurosceptics point to this as an example of the EU wasting taxpayers' money - but for now Strasbourg is keeping its special place in the EU. | The new European Parliament is now in session, with many more Eurosceptic MEPs than before - though not enough to systematically block EU legislation. |
Summarize the provided section. | Thomas de Maiziere told the BBC he supported the Schengen Agreement, but that it could be "in danger".
He also called on Britain to accept more migrants.
Germany expects to receive 800,000 asylum applications this year alone, far more than other EU states.
"Of course Britain has a special role - it is not part of Schengen," Mr de Maiziere said. "But all EU countries must become more aware of their responsibilities."
The Schengen area is made up of 26 European countries, mostly in the EU, which have abolished border controls and established common rules on asylum.
But Mr de Maiziere said this has been threatened by countries failing to adhere to the principle that responsibility for processing claims lies with the country that played the biggest part in the applicant's entry to the EU.
The principle is enshrined in the Dublin Regulation. Most of the migrants crossing the Mediterranean arrive in Greece and Italy first, where the authorities say they cannot cope with the numbers. Under Schengen, many migrants then head north, hoping for asylum elsewhere in the EU.
"If nobody sticks to the law, then Schengen is in danger, that's why we urgently need European solutions," he said.
His comments come amid what one EU official called "the worst refugee crisis since the Second World War".
The border agency Frontex has said some 340,000 migrants arrived in the EU this year alone, many of whom travelled in dangerous, rickety boats to Italy and Greece.
On Friday, Macedonian police fired tear gas at crowds of migrants at the Greek border, trying to enter the country to travel north.

Pace bowler Stuart Broad is also expected to return for Nottinghamshire against Lancashire at Trent Bridge.
England's next Test, the first of a three-match series with Pakistan, starts on 14 July at Lord's.
Cook was in fine form when he was first made available by the England and Wales Cricket Board for Essex's first four matches this season, hitting 523 runs in seven visits to the crease, including three centuries.
His average of 130.75 remains the highest in the Championship.
"After his contributions earlier in the season we are pleased to have him back in the fold," said Essex coach Chris Silverwood.
"It is always a bonus to welcome Alastair back. We never put much pressure on him when he comes back. We are just grateful to have him around the squad. Hopefully we hope he can make an impact on his return."

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | It follows a US law implemented in 2010 which required firms to determine the origin of minerals used in products.
Tin, tantalum and tungsten, used to make computers and mobile phones, used to generate $185m (£110m) a year for armed groups, the report said.
This fuelled decades of conflict.
The US law was brought in under the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act that requires any company that might be using conflict minerals register with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and then disclose its supply chain.
This, together with other reforms and the recent defeat by UN troops of two powerful rebel groups, has helped significantly in reducing the number of mines run by militias, the Enough Project said.
However, artisanal mining of gold was still funding army commanders, its report said.
This rare good news from DR Congo illustrates how a consumer campaign in the rich world can impact positively in an under-developed country. The hi-tech US companies making laptops and smart phones simply did not want to be associated with warlords committing atrocities - and more to the point, perhaps, knew that campaigners in the US would expose them if they did.
So pressure from US consumers, working with the new US law which required companies to guarantee a "clean" supply chain, has forced change.
Of course, a more robust military campaign by the UN's Intervention Brigade against some of the armed groups has also helped.
The next stop for the campaigners, after the computer companies, will be jewellers. It will be interesting to see if they can pull off the same effect in DR Congo's gold mines. Many of these are still controlled by warlords operating with impunity.
The Enough Project said its report was based on five months of field research which showed that 67% of tin, tantalum (refined from coltan) and tungsten in North Kivu, South Kivu and Maniema provinces were no longer in the hands of the armed groups or the Congolese army.
It said this contrasted with a 2010 UN group of experts report which stated that "In the Kivu provinces, almost every mining deposit [was] controlled by a military group".
For the first time in DR Congo's history there is now a validation process to evaluate whether mines are conflict-free, the Enough Project said.
The reforms have also meant that wages have gone up for miners - in some areas threefold - and more workers now receive safety equipment, it said. | More than two-thirds of mines in eastern Democratic Republic Congo which produced "conflict minerals" four years ago are no longer run by warlords, a report by US-based Enough Project says. |

Talking to BBC Radio Northampton, Page continued: "They're expected to win the game and if they don't they'll be criticised."
The Cobblers, who are 11th in English football's third tier, set up the tie against United when they beat West Bromwich Albion 4-3 on penalties.
"It's been a long time coming since the draw was made," Page said. "We've banned the players from talking about it just so we can focus on the league.

PC Christopher Guest, of West Midlands Police, inadvertently left expletives on Alex Faragher's phone after she was not at home to give a statement, a misconduct hearing heard.
He was given a final written warning, while his colleague PC Cavan O'Connell was given a written warning.
Ms Faragher said she was disappointed with the result.
The hearing heard PC Guest, 36, could be heard on an answer message referring to Ms Faragher as a "bitch" and "slag".
Along with PC O'Connell he arranged to meet her in January 2014 to take a statement over a reported incident of alleged domestic violence, only to discover she was not at home when they arrived.
PC Guest told the panel his remarks, in a private conversation to PC O'Connell, were borne of "frustration".
Both men, who worked in the Birmingham North police patch, are alleged to have breached the force's professional standards - PC Guest for making the comments and PC O'Connell for failing to pull him up for doing so.
The panel ruled PC Guest's actions amounted to misconduct but fell short of the higher level of gross misconduct.
He was handed a final written warning which will remain on his file for 18 months.
PC O'Connell, 51, was given a written warning to stay on file for 12 months.
West Midlands Police said the conduct of the two officers had been "dreadful".
"We apologise to Alex Faragher for her distress and reassure her that they take this matter extremely seriously," they said.
"We apologise for the poor service from the officers."
Ms Faragher's solicitor said she is disappointed by the outcome and is reviewing what other legal options may be open to her.

What is the summary of the provided article? | They have created an algorithm that can take a sample of handwritten text, examine its qualities, and then write any text in the same style.
There are already typefaces in word processing programs that produce text in a fairly uniform handwritten style. But what Tom Haines and his fellow UCL researchers have done is create software that they claim reproduces the messy details of any individual writer's hand.
They call their system My Text In Your Handwriting and have tried it out on samples of handwritten text from historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln and the creator of Sherlock Holmes Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
While Conan Doyle never actually wrote "Elementary, my dear Watson..." the UCL team have now produced that sentence in his handwriting.
I gave Tom Haines a uniquely difficult challenge.
My handwriting has always been bad. A messy scrawl that even my family struggles to decipher. I supplied Tom with a sample written on paper with a ballpoint pen - other programs have relied on text written on a tablet, which gives a less accurate input.
He began the process by using a program that marked up each letter and punctuation mark, analysing in some detail how I wrote. The fact that I sometimes dotted the letter i and in other cases did not was just one wrinkle.
Then when the analysis was complete he fed it into the algorithm and typed the word "hello" into a box.
Alongside, a barely legible "hello" appeared - but I had to admit it was a fair approximation of my scrawl. We then tried it out with a whole sentence - and again I have to admit the result was just as bad as I might have produced.
Clever - but what practical uses does this handwriting algorithm have?
One example is where banks send out sensitive documents or new credit cards and want to disguise the letters so that they look like handwritten personal letters. The researchers showed me three hand-addressed letters - one of them produced by the computer, two genuinely hand-written. I struggled to work out which was which - see if you can do any better.
Another possible commercial use is in the personal messages that are inserted with flowers or presents sent by delivery firms - how much better to have a "genuine" handwritten "Happy Birthday" than something typed on a card.
You might think that another potential use was by criminals attempting to forge your signature. But the researchers say that close examination with a microscope will still reveal what was written by a real human being and what was machine-generated.
Image 2 was done by computer but the other two were written by a human.

The feeling that a new star is emerging amongst the leading British-trained sprinters continues, as the very speedy Battaash positively swept aside his rivals again.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about this easy success - which followed two straightforward wins at Sandown, one of them smashing the course record time - was his odds.
Conventional wisdom beforehand went that the rain-softened going wouldn not suit. But Battaash - described by his trainer as a "bull in a china shop" aged two - has matured in all areas, including his ground preference, it seems. | Battaash eased to sprint victory with a brilliant display in the King George Stakes at Glorious Goodwood. |

Can you write a short summary of this section? | In the three months to April, prices fell by 0.2% - the first quarterly fall since November 2012.
Over the past month alone, prices fell by 0.1%, the Halifax said.
However, for the year to April, prices rose by 3.8%, the same figure as in March. It leaves the average cost of a house or flat at £219,649.
Martin Ellis, Halifax housing economist, said one reason why prices were slowing was that property had become too expensive for many people.
"Housing demand appears to have been curbed in recent months due to the deterioration in housing affordability caused by a sustained period of rapid house price growth during 2014-16," he said.
Last week rival lender Nationwide said house prices were growing at 2.6% annually - their lowest rate for four years.
The Bank of England has also said that the number of mortgages being approved has fallen for two months running.
Samuel Tombs at Pantheon Macroeconomics said the Halifax figures were further evidence that the squeeze on real wages was offsetting the boost to house prices from falling mortgage rates.
"House prices likely will continue to be underpinned by a shortage of supply, due to the high moving costs faced by existing homeowners. In addition, competition among lenders will continue to drive down mortgage rates this year, boosting the size of loans that some households can afford," he said.
However, the Bank of England's loan-to-income ratio rule introduced in 2014 would prevent leverage rising significantly further, the economist added.
Under the rule, banks and building societies cannot lend more than 15% of their mortgages to riskier borrowers. They, in turn, are defined as people borrowing more than 4.5 times their annual income.
That view was echoed by Howard Archer at IHS Markit: "We suspect markedly weakening consumer fundamentals, likely mounting caution over making major spending decisions, and elevated house price to earnings ratios will weigh down further on housing market activity and house prices over the coming months."
The former world champions are facing their worst ever season after failing to register a single point so far in 2017 after a series of engine failures.
Brown said engine upgrades promised for Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix were not ready and the team is "near our limit".
"Honda's working very hard but they seem a bit lost," he told Reuters.
"We were eagerly awaiting this upgrade as were our drivers and it's a big disappointment that it's not coming.
"It's not lack of effort, but they are struggling to get it to come together."
Brown, who replaced Ron Dennis at the McLaren helm last year, added: "Our preference is to win the world championship with Honda.
"But at some point you need to make a decision as to whether that's achievable. And we have serious concerns.
"Missing upgrades, and upgrades not delivering to the level we were told they were going to, you can only take that so long. And we're near our limit.
"We're not going to go into another year like this, in hope.
"There's lots of things that go into the decision and we're entering that window now of 'which way do you go when you come to the fork in the road'."
McLaren's renewed partnership with Honda in 2015 was billed as a return to the glory days of their collaboration in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna dominated.
Yet McLaren remain without a race win since 2012 and their best finish this season was when Fernando Alonso, who started seventh on the grid, came 12th in last month's Spanish Grand Prix.
In March it was revealed McLaren had made an exploratory approach to Mercedes about engine supply in the wake of problems with Honda.
And Brown again raised the prospect of McLaren paying for engines in future.

Please summarize the document below. | The UK's Royal Mail was among those fined for its part in the cartel.
It will pay a reduced fine of €55.2m, down from €67.6m, because it agreed not to contest the fine.
The price rises, which happened between 2004-10, were agreed during "secret meetings", the watchdog said.
The Royal Mail's French division, General Logistics Systems (GLS), accounts for about 17% of Royal Mail's revenues.
"Royal Mail recognises the absolute need to comply with European and national competition law and the necessity to prevent infringements," the firm said in a statement.
"It has implemented an enhanced compliance programme in GLS France in order to strengthen the culture of competition law compliance."
The companies fined include the French divisions of FedEx Express, TNT and DHL Express. TLF, the delivery union, was also among those fined.
The authority said that the price rises especially damaged small businesses.
An additional fine of €1.4m was issued to 15 of the companies, for agreeing on a system designed to pass on higher diesel prices to customers.
It outlined one case, in which some of the companies had planned an annual 5% price increase, but after secret meetings with other delivery companies, decided to raise prices by 7% instead.
"Meetings were organised regularly before and after new pricing rounds, which enabled the companies to homogenise their price demands and secure their commercial negotiations," the competition watchdog said.
"The discussions were kept secret and there was no official record taken." | France's competition authority, the Autorite de la Concurrence, has fined 20 package delivery firms €672m (£488m) for colluding to artificially raise prices annually. |

Chadian opposition parties say she should have been banned from visiting describing her as a champion of "fascist" policies.
It is the first time Ms Le Pen is in Africa in an official capacity.
The plane carrying Ms Le Pen to Chad departed only a few hours after she took part in a live presidential debate on French TV where she reasserted that fighting Islamist fundamentalist networks would be her priority as president.
The Barkhane force is made up of about 3,000 French soldiers along with troops from Mali, Mauritania, Burkina Faso and Chad.
It has been set up in an effort to stifle jihadist groups in the Sahel region in West and North Africa.
Ms Le Pen's planned meeting with the French soldiers is seen as a move to mark her commitment to stopping Islamist fundamentalism at the root before it is exported to France.

Southern Rail said it was "disappointed and frustrated" about the sickness, and warned cancellations were expected to continue through the week.

He said: "This strike is totally unnecessary. All we are doing is making our staff more accessible."
The RMT has said it is preparing a fresh wave of campaigning, targeted at building public support for its dispute.

What is the summary of the following article? | For the fourth year running, Colombia has the highest number of internally displaced people on the list.
Globally, the total number of displaced people has risen, with the conflict in Syria blamed for much of the spike.
A third of all internally displaced are in sub-Saharan Africa, the report says.
The annual report by the Norwegian Refugee Council's Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) suggests internal displacement - in which people flee from violence without crossing their country's borders - will continue to accelerate unless permanent solutions to conflicts are found.
IDMC Director Kate Halff says that governments are "responsible for finding long-term solutions for their displaced citizens".
The report says that Colombia, with its estimated 4.9 to 5.5 million internally displaced people tops the global list.
It estimates that Colombia's internal armed conflict forced around 230,000 people to flee their homes in 2012.
However, the report says that the figure is provisional, as the government did not publish official figures for the past year.
It also notes that the figure fails to include those people displaced as a result of violence carried out by criminal and drug-trafficking gangs.
That violence, however, has been on the up, with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos recognising the rise of the criminal gangs as one of the main threats facing the country.
On Sunday, police figures suggested that Colombia's largest criminal gang, Los Urabenos, now has more members than the left-wing rebel group, the National Liberation Army (ELN).
Both the Colombian Red Cross and the IDMC have warned that the victims of criminal gangs in Colombia do not receive the same official recognition as those victimised by the Farc or ELN rebel groups.
Police say the Urabenos have more than 2,000 members and operate in major cities such as Medellin, as well as rural areas, where they engage in drug and arms trafficking and extortion.
Colombia has suffered from almost five decades of civil conflict with both left-wing guerrilla groups and right-wing paramilitaries fighting each other, and the security forces.
Negotiators representing the government and the Farc rebel group are currently holding peace negotiations in Cuba in an attempt to end the conflict.
The government has also launched a restitution programme aimed at returning land stolen as part of the conflict to its rightful owners. | Almost 29 million people lived in internal displacement in 2012, with 6.5 million newly displaced just in the past year, a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council suggests. |
What is the summary of the following article? | The star made the comments at a Women in Film awards ceremony on Wednesday.
Actress Shari Belafonte called out from the audience Spielberg had directed the 1985 film The Color Purple, starring Whoopi Goldberg. But after another audience member yelled it was wrong, Banks believed she was still correct.
"I messed up," Banks said in a tweet.
The Hunger Games star was awarded an excellence in film prize at the ceremony and used her acceptance speech to highlight gender equality in Hollywood.
"We can't do it by ourselves... It's our responsibility to bring the men along," she said.
'I'm wrong'
"I went to Indiana Jones and Jaws and every movie Steven Spielberg ever made, and by the way, he's never made a movie with a female lead. Sorry, Steven. I don't mean to call your ass out, but it's true."
After Belafonte reminded Banks of Oscar-nominated movie The Color Purple, the actress initially corrected herself.
"OK... I'm wrong. Ummm… he directed?" she queried.
Another guest mistakenly called out no, so Banks concluded: "Oh, so I'm right still," and moved on.
The error was much talked about in both social and general media - especially as The Color Purple focuses on the issues African American women faced in early 20th Century.
The Color Purple
Banks posted a lengthy apology on Twitter on Thursday, saying she "framed [her] comments about [Spielberg's] films inaccurately".
"I want to be clear from the start that I take full responsibility for what I said and I'm sorry," she wrote.
"When I made the comments, I was thinking of recent films Steven directed, it was not my intention to dismiss the importance of the iconic #TheColorPurple.
"I made things worse by giving the impression that I was dismissing Shari Belafonte when she attempted to correct me. I spoke with Shari backstage and she was kind enough to forgive me.
"Those who have the privilege and honour of directing and producing films should be held to account for our mistakes, whether it's about diversity or inaccurate statements. I'm very sorry."
Since Banks's error, others have pointed out that while she was wrong in her claim about Spielberg, the director has only helmed three films out of his 30 which feature a female lead.
In addition to The Color Purple, he also directed Goldie Hawn in The Sugarland Express (1974) and his most recent film, The BFG, featured 12-year-old Ruby Barnhill in the lead.
His next film, The Papers, also stars Meryl Streep in the main role as the first US female newspaper publisher.
Banks is next set to direct a rebooted film version of Charlie's Angels.
As well as appearing in the Pitch Perfect series of films, she directed the second and served as a producer on all three.

Please summarize the following text. | Iran's oil minister has reportedly repeated that the country will continue to increase production and exports.
The slight rise follows big falls on Friday after Saudi Arabia said it would freeze production only if other major producers did the same.
Oil producers are to meet on 17 April to discuss a deal to freeze output.
Brent crude crept up by 0.5% to $38.86 in morning trading.
In February, Saudi Arabia struck a deal with Russia and other Opec nations to freeze oil output at January levels.
But Iran wants production to hit pre-sanction levels before beginning talks.
Over the weekend, Iranian oil minister Bijan Zanganeh told Iran's Mehr News agency that the country would continue increasing its production and exports until it reached the market position it held before the imposition of sanctions.
Mehr quotes him as saying he would attend the meeting in the Qatari capital "if he had time".
His latest comments reinforce similar comments he made last month. Then, he made it clear Iran would only join discussions to cap output after its production reached four million barrels per day.
Oil prices hit a peak of $116 in June 2014, but have subsequently dived because of oversupply and sluggish demand.
The producers' meeting later this month will take place in the Qatari capital, Doha. It will involve Opec and non-Opec members and will discuss freezing supply at January levels to help push the oil price back up.
However, in an interview with Bloomberg last week, Saudi Arabia's deputy crown price Mohammed bin Salman said: "If all countries agree to freeze production, we will be among them."
He was asked if Iran had to be among those countries, to which he replied: "Without doubt."
Despite the late morning's slight rise in Brent crude, the price is still hovering around its lowest level for a month.
"It's not very strange to see a wave of profit-taking and some unwinding of long positions, and some people even saying they could reposition for a move towards lower prices," said ABN Amro chief energy economist Hans van Cleef.
"That's part of a normal cycle that I think can continue this week, we might see $36 or $37. Prices are coming down because of speculation Saudi Arabia will not join [the freeze deal] and that's probably what we'll see over the next three weeks - more speculation and more verbal intervention." | Oil prices have rebounded slightly after early falls, although doubts still remain that output will be curbed at a meeting later this month. |
Please give a summary of the document below. | The Belfast Telegraph is hailing its front-page splash as an exclusive.
The former first minister and DUP leader, Arlene Foster, has written that she believe a political deal with the Tories, which would facilitate DUP support for a minority Conservative government, is imminent.
Mrs Foster has also said she is determined to restore power-sharing executive at Stormont as Thursday's deadline looms large.
The Telegraph also features an opinion piece from celebrity economist David McWilliams.
He argues that demographic changes in Northern Ireland are making a united Ireland more likely and that the Dublin government must have a plan to deal with a pro-united Ireland majority, even if many south of the border do not wish to consider the possibility.
The News Letter's lead, "Son's justice plea after reunion with mother", is the story of a Portadown man the paper says was "forcibly removed from his mother as a baby by the Catholic Church".
He is now appealing for "justice for the victims of abuse at former mother and baby homes".
Eunan Duffy was separated from his birth mother in a mother-and-baby home in Newry in 1968 but has now been reunited with her after discovering he had been adopted in February 2016.
Mr Duffy, 49, is calling on the PSNI to treat "forced adoptions" as a form of human trafficking.
Also in the News Letter is the claim from Conservative peer Lord Patten that the DUP is "toxic" and that any Tory-DUP deal will result in the Conservatives looking like the "nasty party".
Inside the paper, a two-page feature focuses on the Ulster Volunteer Force.
The articles are based on the work of Sandhurst historian Aaron Edwards, who was brought up in north Belfast, and has now published a new history of the organisation.
He writes that the "spectre of paramilitarism" is likely to continue in Northern Ireland until the political environment changes.
"Time to do a deal call from church leaders" is the Irish News front page headline.
The paper describes a letter sent by the churchmen, appealing to Northern Ireland politicians to strike a deal on restoring power-sharing at Stormont, as a "dramatic intervention".
The letter, signed by five prominent church leaders, was sent to the leaders of the five main parties and warned that if the impasse continues then the most vulnerable people in society were being put at risk.
The Irish News front page shows a jubilant Down Gaelic football manager, Eamonn Burns, hugging the county's full-back after the Mourne men won their Ulster championship semi-final clash against Monaghan on Saturday night in Armagh.
On the inside pages, the paper reveals that bonfire material has been dumped on Bloomfield Walkway in east Belfast.
The Irish News says the incident comes just days after they revealed that Belfast City Council has been storing thousands of pallets on behalf of Twelfth night bonfire builders.
The site off the Upper Newtownards Road features graffiti critical of both the Irish News and the BBC, possibly due to media coverage of the bonfire issue and how materials are gathered for them.
And finally, in a scene reminiscent of the shark attack horror film Jaws, the Daily Mirror's front page picture features tourists fleeing "shark terror" in Majorca.
The distinctive fin of the species breaks the water as an 8ft Blue Shark, described as a "killer" by the paper, closes in on swimmers.
When it was captured later, however, it was found to have been suffering from a head injury - possibly caused by human hand - and had to be put down. | The front pages of Northern Ireland's newspapers have a variety of stories today, from political deals, church pleas, forced adoption to a shark attack. |

The Scotland captain, who is closing in on 200 appearances for her country, signed for City in January last year.
"It is with deep regret that Gemma Fay has left the club," said head coach Scott Booth.
"She didn't want to leave and we definitely wanted her to stay but ultimately she felt at this point in her career playing every week was incredibly important, especially given the upcoming Euro finals."
Fay spent seven years at Celtic before moving to the Scottish champions, having previously played for Hibernian, Leeds, Brighton, Ayr and Aberdeen.
The S&P 500 technology sector dropped 0.5% after declines in index heavyweights such as Apple, Microsoft and Facebook.
The fall follows a two-day selloff that started Friday.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 0.47%, to 6,16.5 points and and the S&P 500 index fell 0.22% to 2,432.46 points.

The 500-acre Dungeness Estate, in Kent, has been described as "Britain's only desert" by the Met Office.
The headland, which juts out into the English Channel, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and has 29 homes built from railway carriages on it.
Maurice Ede, one of the owning trustees, said he had enjoyed running it but it was time to test the market.
The Dungeness Estate, which includes the cottage where film director Derek Jarman lived, has been part of a family trust since 1964.
Mr Ede said: "The trustees are getting older and the estate is in very good shape, it is profitable, so it's quite a good time to test the market.
"I have enjoyed running it, it has been great fun but I am not sure who would buy it."
Mark McAndrew, from estate agents Strutt & Parker, said the sale was incredibly unusual.
He said: "I've been doing my job for 28 years and I can absolutely hand on heart tell you I've never sold anything like this.
"The Met Office calls it Britain's only desert."
Mr McAndrew said the buyer could either be someone interested in conservation or looking at the beach as an investment.
He said the main income comes from EDF, which runs the power station, and use the shingle from the beach to protect it.
"They pay the best part of £100,000 per annum to move the shingle back to where it came from," he said.
"Obviously the power station needs protecting and will need protection for many years to come."

Please summarize the passage below. | Second behind Brian O'Driscoll in the list of most starts; second - also behind O'Driscoll - in the list of most minutes played.
By the end of this championship no man will have led his country in more matches than the Italian, who has carried more ball and made more metres than anyone in the tournament's history.
But the numbers don't tell the whole story; since his Six Nations debut in 2004, the number eight has regularly been the shining light in a losing team, arguably the sole 'world-class' player in the Azzurri ranks.
Another, less flattering, statistic: in his 55 championship matches, Parisse has won just nine times, a winning ratio of 17%.
The defeats would have taken their toll. Following the end of former coach Jacques Brunel's unspectacular period in charge, Parisse was ready to call time on his international career.
But on the eve of his 14th Six Nations championship, the 33-year-old finds himself more invigorated than ever.
"The last two years with Brunel were really difficult - especially from the motivational point of view," he admitted to BBC 5 live.
"I thought of finishing my international career. But I met Conor O'Shea and he gave me another vision of the future."
Not only was new Italy boss O'Shea able to talk Parisse out of retirement, but he also shared his ambitions for Italian rugby.
"We talk a lot and share ideas," Parisse explained. "Conor arrived with a lot of energy, with the idea not just to be the coach of the Italian team but to be a director of rugby in Italy.
"I want to leave a legacy and give to Italian rugby a lot of things on the field, but work with Conor in the background [as well], trying to help players in Italy improve.
"It is not an easy job, but as soon as you have people who are motivated, with energy, and clever enough to understand the things we have to change, [then] hopefully in 15 years we can meet in Rome for a beer and talk about the things we have done for Italian rugby."
Parisse reveals he could have taken up a lucrative contract in Japan last summer, in the process retiring from Azzurri duty.
Few would have blamed him for going down this route at this stage of his career, but the player says the pride of playing for his country trumped any financial motivation.
"I could have left the Italian team and played in Japan on a good contract, but I am a bit old school.
"For me what's important is putting on your jersey and representing something and putting on the Italian jersey for me is a huge honour. I have played 120 caps, but every time I go out in the Italian shirt I feel the same emotion as when I was 18."
O'Shea's first few months as Italy coach provided huge signs of encouragement - a historic victory over South Africa in November the highlight - along with the traditional inconsistency, exemplified by the defeat by Tonga.
Meanwhile, the two professional clubs - Treviso and Zebre - are struggling on and off the field.
However Parisse feels the same players can flourish in the national set-up, as shown in the victory over the Springboks.
"When we beat South Africa there were 12 players on the pitch who played for Zebre, the same players who conceded 70 points to Leinster two weeks ago," he added.
"How can you explain that those players performed against South Africa? Because there were put in a good environment.
"The objective for us is to put the guys from Zebre and Treviso in a good environment to be competitive every single week."
And Parisse says he wants to give back to the game in Italy when he finishes his playing career.
"I would like to maybe in the future help as a coach or as a manager. Italian rugby is my responsibility today as captain, so maybe it could be my responsibility after my career."
Despite his advancing years, Parisse believes he is mentally and physically fresh ahead of the championship. Plenty to add to the record books yet. | A quick glance through the Six Nations record books gives a clear picture of the greatness of Sergio Parisse. |

Arts Council England accreditation was withdrawn and access to further funding needed to expand the was museum denied.
Council leader Mary Markham said it did not expect the sale to cause so much trouble, but the Museum Association said the sale had cut funding sources.
The statue depicts a high official at the Pharaohs' court.
Its sale raised £6.8m for the council with the remainder going to the Duke of Northampton whose family donated the statue.
Cash was needed for a building to display more historic artefacts kept in store and provide education events, but a shortfall of £7.8m needs to be made up before plans can be completed.
Mrs Markham said: "Sekhemka was not on display, no-one knew it was here but the sale would allow us to expand the museum.
"We did not expect the issue of the sale to go global."
Mrs Markham said despite losing access to Arts Council England funds, the council could apply to other sources of finance.
Sharon Heal from the Museums Association said the sale had damaged the borough's reputation internationally and led to condemnation by the Egyptian government and its ambassador.
"The council will not quickly or easily get over this," she said.

"It would be welcomed and I think there would be a tolerance to it. I think the time would be right to do that," Scudamore added.

The move likely means an end to negotiations on whether the constitution could be amended so Aung San Suu Kyi could take the top job.
Ms Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) won a general election landslide victory in November and will take office at the end of March.
But she is barred by the constitution from being the president.
Clause 59F, widely seen as having been included to target her, means anyone who has foreign children cannot take the post.
She has consistently said she will effectively lead the country anyway.
The original date for the nominations had been 17 March, which was seen as giving time for the NLD to negotiate with the military.
Aung San Suu Kyi may actually be stronger outside the presidency. Over several rounds of negotiation with the army it became clear that any deal would involve uncomfortable compromise.
Little was said officially, but it was suggested that the army might trade suspending Clause 59F for more power.
That was rumoured to include the positions of chief minister in sensitive states like Rakhine and Kachin and almost certainly included promises that the military's political clout and financial muscle be left untouched.
It would have been a fudge and Ms Suu Kyi would have been accused of putting personal ambition over principle.
Now she must choose someone else to be president, and her main criteria is likely to be loyalty.
With an obedient puppet in place, she knows that all the president's decision-making power will still ultimately rest with her.
These talks represented a chance for the Burmese army to show that it was moving with the times. It could have acknowledged that the people of Myanmar overwhelmingly voted in November for Ms Suu Kyi to lead.
Instead the message is "the army still knows best" with the military insisting on following the constitution it drafted to the letter.
With a huge majority in parliament and the ability to legislate as she wishes, Ms Suu Kyi may now decide she's not in the mood to compromise either.
The new president will be elected by the upper and lower house from a list of three candidates put forward by MPs.
The NLD dominates both houses after taking 80% of contested seats in the election. But the military, which ran Myanmar for decades, still has an automatic 25% of all seats.
NLD official Win Htein told the BBC the party would now focus on trying to change the constitution from within.
"Aung San Suu Kyi will still become president anyhow. It's only the matter of sooner or later," he said.
The All Blacks, unbeaten at Eden Park since 1994, are favourites to beat a Lions side whose only series victory in New Zealand was in 1971.
"There's always pressure on us and we don't mind pressure," Read said. "Losing would be pretty bad.
"We will go out there and expect to win."
Read was part of New Zealand's World Cup wins of 2011 and 2015, but believes the opening match against with the Lions is "probably the most important right now" in his career.
The 31-year-old has recovered from a broken thumb to lead his country. He is expecting a physical battle between the two sets of forwards after the Lions' pack helped them to impressive wins over the Crusaders and New Zealand Maori during the run-up to the first Test.

In a blog post, YouTube Gaming product manager Alan Joyce said: "On YouTube, gaming has spawned entirely new genres of videos, from let's plays, walkthroughs, and speedruns to cooking and music videos. Now, it's our turn to return the favour with something built just for gamers."
The Let's Play trend has proven particularly popular. Channels that demonstrate how to build environments in "sandbox" game Minecraft command views into the hundreds of millions.
Advertising revenue is shared between the broadcaster and YouTube. Like Twitch, YouTube also allows for a "tip jar" function for viewers to send money to the broadcaster.
Mr Joyce said YouTube Gaming would provide an area on YouTube fenced off from the rest, so that "typing 'call' will show you [video game] 'Call of Duty' and not [pop song] 'Call Me Maybe'."
YouTube Gaming will consist of 25,000 individual game portals which bring together all the activity around each title on a single page.
Google will be hoping the new services will lure gamers away from rival Twitch which currently dominates the market for live online broadcasting. Around 12 billion hours of live gaming are watched on the site every month.
Another competitor, Steam Broadcasting, caters to PC gamers but is less popular.
YouTube Gaming's launch will initially just be in the US and UK.

Images of a future king and queen demonstrating their sporting, competitive edge have proved irresistible to many British newspapers and broadcasters.
But such coverage doesn't mean that royal fever has descended on India.
Security concerns in the modern world mean that presidents and princes travel in a bubble, and only meet those who are invited and checked out in advance.
Those who have cleared those hurdles appear to have enjoyed the experience.
This after all is the son of Princess Diana and his wife. Hers is a name that still resonates.
And William and Kate are personable people capable of putting those they encounter at their ease. They'll continue to do this as they travel across India.

McDonald's is in the process of a major turnaround plan after a sustained period of falling sales.
Areas such as the UK, Australia, Canada and Germany performed strongly over the quarter and increased like-for-like sales by 3.3%.
McDonald's also raised sales in the US, which it said was suffering from "industry softness". China weighed on its "high-growth" markets, which include countries such as Russia, because of strong comparative sales and "protests related to events surrounding the South China Sea".
However, it made gains and like-for-like sales in its high-growth markets rose 1.5%.
Steve Easterbrook, president and chief executive of McDonald's, said: "Looking ahead, we are focused on growing global comparable sales and serving more customers while being mindful of the near-term challenges in several markets."
The company has introduced a number of initiatives to attract customers, including adding new items its all day breakfasts, including biscuits, McMuffins and McGriddles.
Neil Saunders, chief executive of Conlumino, the retail research and consultancy group, said one of the challenges McDonald's faced was widening its appeal.

Please summarize the passage below. | Speaking on Radio 1, the Band Aid 30 organiser thanked people for buying the single so far but says he has concerns about the amount of money being raised compared to the 1984 original.
He said: "In 1984 a single was £3.50, today it's 99p...That worries me.
"Even if you already have it, delete, download again."
Band Aid 30 is the fourth version of the track, which is raising money for the fight against Ebola in west Africa, to reach number one following previous chart-toppers in 1984, 1989 and 2004.
The track is the fastest-selling single of 2014 having shifted more than 312,000 copies in its first week.
When the original version was released, it sold 3.7 million copies and raised £8m for famine relief.
Geldof said: "We need to sell 300% more than we did then [in 1984] to even begin to make up the cash figure."
A physical CD version costing £3.99 will be released on 8 December. Geldof said that was a "bright spark" in raising more money.
Geldof said everybody who had bought the track was "absolutely amazing" and admitted he had been nervous about the reception the song would get.
He explained: "Did I expect it? Yes I expected it but did I expect it in such vast, willing numbers? No I didn't.
"You just can't assume anything... You don't know if the audience is interested in this.
"Certainly they like the artists but are they interested in seeing the artist do just one or two tracks?"
However, despite the track's success One Direction singer Liam Payne suggested Geldof "wasn't happy" with how some of the artists acted in the studio.
Shortly before finding out the band's fourth album, Four, had reached number one he told Scott Mills on Radio 1: "We actually managed to get in the recording booth first so we were done in like an hour so we left. I missed all the drama.
"Sir Bob did a little speech at the start. I say a little speech but it was the most epic thing I've ever heard in my life.
"He said to our manager, 'There are so many people here and you guys are the least fussed'. And I was like 'Yes. we're not divas. That's so good'."
"I'm not going to repeat the word he used to describe them but he wasn't happy with some people."
In response to Liam's comments, Geldof said: "They [One Direction] were exceptional.
"They're in vast demand all over the planet. One day off, what do they do? They come and do the Band Aid song - immense respect."
He explained artists like Sam Smith, Bastille and Ed Sheeran made a real effort to make sure they could be part of the single and said: "On the day, they just hung out. Everybody was superb.
"You can do this over a phone line these days but no, this works when everyone gets together in a room."

Please summarize the following text. | Mr Justice Mostyn made a written order stating efforts should be made to find the boy, whom he said was Polish and could be in Poland with his parents.
He granted an application, made by an NHS trust, allowing doctors to perform surgery on the boy to remove a tumour.
A doctor said the child - who was not named - will die a "brutal and agonising death" without surgery.
Details of the hearing emerged in a ruling following hearings in the Family Division of the High Court in London.
Mr Justice Mostyn said doctors believed the boy, who had lived in England with his parents for two years, was at risk of "serious harm" and the risk was growing each day.
He said there was evidence the boy had left his home with his mother two weeks ago, and that the boy's father had boarded a ferry bound for France in the past few days.
One doctor said the prospect of him growing up was "completely impossible" without surgery.
The paediatric oncologist said the boy's parents were "very frightened and fearful", worrying that he would be disfigured by surgery and preferring to treat him with "Chinese medicine".
Surgery could last as long as 12 hours and would require skin and bone from the boy's leg to rebuild his jaw bone, the judge said in his ruling.
It could result in "lameness", would leave the boy needing false teeth, and he could develop a "lopsided appearance", he added.
Mr Justice Mostyn stated: "I give full weight to the wishes of (the boy) as well as those of his parents.
"It is a strong thing for me, a stranger, to disagree with and override the wishes of (the boy) and his parents.
"But I have absolutely no doubt that (the boy) must be given the chance, a very good chance, of a long and fulfilling life rather than suffering, quite soon, a ghastly, agonising, death."
Mr Justice Mostyn said the Polish embassy in London was being alerted of the need to find the boy.

Please summarize the document below. | Republicans said Mr Obama was out of step with America on the project.
"It's unwise to build a mosque a the site where 3,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of a terrorist attack," Senator John Cornyn said.
On Saturday, Mr Obama said he was backing the rights of the developers, not the "wisdom" of the project.
'Not commenting'
Since a New York developer announced plans to build a 13-storey Islamic community centre and mosque about two blocks from the former World Trade Center site, prominent Republican politicians and a host of conservative pundits have attacked the project.
At a White House dinner celebrating Ramadan on Friday, Mr Obama vigorously defended the developers' right to put the mosque there "in accordance with local laws and ordinances".
Muslims "have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country", the president said.
But on Saturday Mr Obama clarified his comments, saying: "I was not commenting, and I will not comment on, the wisdom of making a decision to put a mosque there."
Nevertheless, a number of opposition Republicans hit out at the president's stance on the US Sunday talk shows.
"It's unwise to build a mosque at the site where 3,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of a terrorist attack," Senator John Cornyn of Texas said on Sunday on Fox News.
"And I think to me it demonstrates that Washington, the White House, the administration, the president himself seems to be disconnected from the mainstream of America."
Meanwhile Ed Rollins, a veteran Republican campaign consultant, said Democratic candidates would be forced to take a position on the issue in campaigning for November's US mid-term elections.
"Intellectually, the president may be right, but this is an emotional issue, and people who lost kids, brothers, sisters, fathers, what have you, do not want that mosque in New York, and it's going to be a big, big issue for Democrats across this country," he said on CBS's Face the Nation.
"Every candidate who's in the challenge districts are going to be asked, how do you feel about building the mosque on the Ground Zero sites."
Political risks
The White House and the president's supporters have sought to frame the Mr Obama's comments as a matter of conscience, not poll numbers, and argue that Republicans are inappropriately politicising the issue.
"This wouldn't be a controversy if it was a proposal to build a synagogue or a church," Democratic party chairman Tim Kaine said on CBS. "We don't prefer people and we don't punish people based on their religion."
The Politico website quoted a senior administration official as saying: "When I start to view religious freedom through the prism of midterm elections, I'm just going to quit."
While polling suggests a majority of Americans oppose plans to build the mosque, a Fox News poll released on Friday suggested 61% supported the developer's right to build the mosque.
"It was a bold decision - Obama could have stayed out of what is ostensibly a local matter," wrote polling analyst Nate Silver on the political website FiveThirtyEight.com.
"But a careful evaluation of the polls reveals it to be less politically risky than it might at first appear." | President Barack Obama has come under fire over his defence on Friday of a developer's right to build a mosque blocks from Ground Zero in New York. |

Anthony Browne, chief executive of the British Bankers' Association (BBA), said banks were spending £3bn a year upgrading systems.
About 600,000 transactions were delayed as a result of the processing problem at the RBS group on Wednesday.
The bank said that the backlog would be cleared by the end of Saturday.
Payments of wages, tax credits and disability living allowance were among those that failed to be credited to accounts of customers at RBS, NatWest, Ulster Bank and private bank Coutts.
The underlying problem was fixed on Wednesday morning but many of those affected are angry that it will take until the end of the week for all payments to go through.
Mr Browne, of the BBA, told the BBC the incident was unacceptable, repeating RBS's admission on Wednesday.
"The banks are already aware of this as an issue," Mr Browne said.
"A lot of them have creaking IT systems. They are spending £3bn a year upgrading their IT systems - it is one of the biggest IT upgrades that Britain has ever seen."

"Technology will, on occasion, fail. If and when that occurs, we need to ensure we can mask the impact on customers and recover as quickly and effectively as possible," he said.

Can you summarize this passage? | So was there a failure to resolve a looming crisis? Or did Philip Hammond simply feel that in a difficult financial climate, there were other more pressing priorities?
Warnings about cuts in social-care spending in England and the impact on the health service have become more intense in recent weeks.
There has been a steep rise in the number of patients fit to leave hospitals, but who continue to occupy beds because of problems arranging social care.
That has concentrated minds, and NHS leaders indicated they were prepared to accept there would be no new money for health as long as social care, run by local authorities, received a financial boost.
But that did not materialise. The pleas had fallen on deaf ears.
"Missed opportunity" was a verdict on the statement much repeated by health think tanks and medical profession leaders.
The Royal College of Emergency Medicine even warned government inaction would put lives at risk.
Social-care chiefs warned the chancellor's failure to act would mean more care homes closing and growing gaps in the market.
In response to Labour claims in the Commons that there was "looming chaos" for health and social care services in England, Mr Hammond said there was a programme of investment in the NHS being delivered.
He repeated the government line that an extra £10bn annually was being allocated to the NHS budget by the year 2020-21.
He said the government would work with service leaders to ensure the money was spent effectively, underlining his view that it was not so much about the volume of investment as how it was deployed.
The new clashes over money for the NHS came as the UK Statistics Authority called for more clarity by the government in its references to the extra investment.
The stats watchdog observed that the £10bn increase for "NHS funding" in England was over a six year period from 2014-15.
However, total health spending, including public health, which has seen cuts, has not grown as fast.
The Statistics Authority noted that, according to Treasury figures, over a four-year period up to 2019-20 it would increase by £2.9bn.
Ed Humpherson of the UK Statistics Authority, said he would ask the Treasury to present estimates for NHS England and total health spending separately.
He has urged officials to "ensure clarity around sources, time periods and what is being measured".
The stresses and strains on NHS finances have been well documented, and the debate about how much money the government is investing to help tackle the problems is rising up the political agenda.
A report from the National Audit Office highlighted again the financial pressures and argued that the problems were "endemic and not sustainable".
The NAO report, unusually, confirmed the view there were tensions at the highest levels of Whitehall.
It talked of perceived differences between the government line that funding had been adequate and in line with what health service leaders asked for and NHS England itself.
There was an eye-catching conclusion: "Confronted as NHS England is by the pressures of rising demand for services, these signs of differences do not help build a confident feel about the future of the NHS."
Those "differences" seem unlikely to fade away.
The NHS England leadership that had called for more funding for social care only to be disappointed will hardly be thrilled by the Autumn Statement.
The chancellor may find he has a lot more explaining to do.

Summarize the content given in the passage. | The US Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) said Iat Hong, 26, Bo Zheng, 30, and Hung Chin, 50, breached the websites of US law firms and accessed confidential information about mergers and acquisitions.
They then used this information to profit on the stock market.
The men, who have not been extradited, were fined in their absence.
According to the SEC, which charged the men in December, they racked up almost $3m (£2.3m) in illegal profits by hacking two prominent New York law firms.
This involved installing malware to access and download gigabytes of confidential emails, it said.
The trio then bought shares in listed companies ahead of announcements about their merger plans - something that often causes stock to jump.
In a judgement on 5 May, the Southern District of New York said the accused had accepted liability by failing to respond to the allegations.
It said each should pay a the maximum penalty available, as well as returning their ill-gotten gains.
Mr Hong must pay $1.8m, Mr Zheng, $1.9m, and Mr Chin, $4m. Any US assets they own will also be frozen.
Mr Hong's mother, Sou Cheng Lai, has meanwhile been ordered to return more than $900,000 of illicit profits held on behalf of her son.
The men still face a variety of other charges and, if found guilty, could face lengthy prison terms.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | Federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau said the government will put forward a passenger rights law this spring.
It is expected to include compensation rules for those denied boarding due to factors within the carrier's control.
Mr Garneau announced the plan last year, but restated it as footage of a US passenger being forcibly removed from a flight made global headlines.
The incident on Sunday evening's flight from Chicago to Louisville has been a public relations disaster for United Airlines.
A spokesman for Mr Garneau said he could not get into the specifics of the Air Travellers Passenger Rights Regime legislation before it is introduced to Parliament.
But in a November 2016 speech to Montreal's Chamber of Commerce, Mr Garneau said Canadian travellers report a sense of frustration at both the cost of air travel and confusion about their rights when flight problems arise.
The measure would "ensure that Canadians' rights are protected by rules that are both fair and clear", he said.
In 2008, Canada introduced Flight Rights Canada, a voluntary code of conduct for airlines around passenger rights related to tarmac delays, flight cancellations and overbooking.
Under that code, if a plane is overbooked or cancelled, a carrier must either find the passenger a seat with another flight, buy the passenger a seat on another carrier with whom it has an agreement, or refund the unused portion of the ticket.
The Canadian Transportation Agency receives an average of about 50 complaints a year from passengers saying they were denied boarding.
Ambarish Chandra, with the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management, says that airlines bumping passengers is an "unavoidable" fact of air travel.
"I don't think the goal of legislation should be to eliminate bumping," he said, noting that having full flights helps keep ticket costs in check.
"But legislation does need to protect passengers and make very clear what passengers rights are in various situations."
Mr Garneau expects the rights legislation to be in place by 2018. | Canada has said it is taking steps to tackle airline overbooking, following an incident involving United Airlines. |

Although the social benefits of the company will centre on Bristol, its tariffs will go on sale through the United Kingdom.
Future projections of the firm's profitability have been disputed by some councillors.
Bristol's elected mayor George Ferguson said he is in the process of switching his home energy requirement to the new company.
Asked if the council would follow Mr Ferguson's lead and switch its energy provider, a spokesman said: "Bristol Energy does not currently supply the council, but will be taking part in the next competitive tendering processes for the supply contracts."
Bristol City Council owns the company's shares, and said that any profits will be returned to it, making a return by 2019.
But UKIP councillor for Hengrove, Michael Frost, said there was nothing to substantiate or suggest how the authority would make any money from the venture.
"I'm a bit concerned that anybody looking at this - and talking 35% profit - I mean how many businesses make 35% profit?" he said.
Bristol Energy's managing director, Peter Haigh, said the company hoped to set itself away from other suppliers "as a force for social good".
"We have to pay energy bills anyway, so why not pay them to a company that will spend the profits on local services and projects?," he said.

Summarize the following piece. | Klopp had watched powerless as Liverpool collapsed like a house of cards from a lead and a position of superiority to lose 3-1 to Sevilla, squandering the chance of Champions League football next season in the process.
"This team will be a bit different next season, it is clear," said Klopp. "We will do something with transfers."
Klopp's personality, allied to Liverpool's history and ambition, will always attract players - but life will be infinitely more difficult in a fiercely competitive summer market without the magnet that the Champions League, or indeed European football of any sort, provides.
So what will Klopp need to change - and maintain - after Liverpool lost their second final of the season following the Capital One Cup defeat by Manchester City?
The manner in which Liverpool's performance fell off a cliff once Kevin Gameiro equalised for Sevilla 17 seconds after the break, cancelling out Daniel Sturridge's brilliant opener, was alarming and Klopp was clearly taken aback.
"We lost faith in our style of play," said the German. "We changed from passing simple and quick to slow and complicated and lost our formation."
This was a damning indictment but a painful truth. Yes, Gameiro's equaliser was a psychological blow but Liverpool still had virtually the entire second half to put matters right.
Instead, they visibly wilted and fell apart in key areas of the field. They were overrun in midfield and exposed in defence. Their body language sagged. It was a desperate sight as Sevilla tore them to shreds.
The Spaniards are a very fine side who have now won the Europa League three seasons in succession but they are not Barcelona. Manchester City beat them 3-1 in their own stadium in this season's Champions League.
Klopp has managed his resources with this final in mind and Liverpool have shown incredible reserves of mental strength in this competition - notably when scoring three goals in the last 20 minutes to beat Borussia Dortmund at Anfield - but here they were weak and shrunk ominously at the first sign of adversity.
The difference was that they were inspired by a fervent Anfield atmosphere against Dortmund. In Basel, Liverpool's performance, and simply the way they looked mentally shot from the moment Sevilla equalised, gave their supporters no hope.
There were no Liverpool leaders on the night and certainly no sense they were about to mount a comeback of Dortmund proportions. This time the final whistle was a mercy.
Even Klopp's old tricks carried an air of desperation. He exhorted Liverpool's fans to inspire their team as they sank but it looked the act of a manager who knew the game was up. What were Liverpool's players doing to inspire their fans? He might have been better exhorting them.
When Klopp goes shopping this summer he must prioritise strong characters and find a leader who will stop what happened in Basel happening again on the big occasion.
Liverpool have conceded 19 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season. They are third in this list behind Chelsea (21) and Tottenham (20) - a statistic that adds weight to the argument that Klopp's team is a fragile one.
Klopp will search for better players this summer. He must also find mentally tougher ones.
When it comes to the case for changes, exhibit A in Basel was left-back Alberto Moreno. It was the second time the Spaniard has played a significant part in a Sevilla Europa League win, having been part of the side who lifted the trophy against Benfica in 2014.
Moreno's hopeless performance brought criticism raining down on him, with BBC Sport analyst Mark Lawrenson in Basel saying simply: "He cannot defend."
He will surely be replaced and there needs to be much greater pressure placed on goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, who was hardly culpable here but has had another unconvincing season. Klopp is being heavily linked with 22-year-old Mainz keeper Loris Karius in a £5m deal but a more experienced candidate may be preferable.
Klopp has tried to address one issue in central defence with the signing of Joel Matip from Schalke but there are other holes he needs to plug.
Dejan Lovren has had a good season despite being disappointing in Basel - while 35-year-old Kolo Toure was Liverpool's best player against Sevilla but will it be enough to earn the Ivorian a new contract?
Martin Skrtel is another who is surplus to requirements and past his best at 31, while Mamadou Sakho faces an uncertain future following a failed drugs test.
So this area is a matter of urgency for Klopp, while in midfield Joe Allen and Lucas Leiva may yet find themselves surplus to requirements.
Bayern Munich's Mario Gotze has been touted as a possible marquee signing but would the man who scored Germany's World Cup final winner against Argentina in Rio in 2014 be prepared to forgo Champions League football, no matter how close his relationship with Klopp after their time at Borussia Dortmund?
Udinese's young Poland midfield Piotr Zielinski is widely expected to join Liverpool in a £10m deal, but where is the strong leader Liverpool need? Jordan Henderson is captain and was only substitute in Basel after injury, but it is clear this Liverpool team lacks mental steel and needs a figure of authority they can rally around on the field.
And what of Christian Benteke? There is undoubtedly a fine striker inside Benteke waiting to get out but his £32.5m move to Liverpool from Aston Villa last summer looks increasingly like the wrong man to the wrong club at the wrong time.
He was Klopp's last resort in Basel, thrown on with seven minutes left and the game effectively gone having seen fellow Belgian Divock Origi turned to first despite not having played since sustaining an ankle injury against Everton at Anfield on 17 April.
Benteke did not suit the passing style of the man who bought him, Brendan Rodgers, and he does not suit Klopp's intense and energetic pressing style either.
If Liverpool can recoup £20m-plus, perhaps from West Ham, then Benteke's stay at Liverpool will surely end.
Even the effervescent Klopp looked desperately low in Switzerland and Liverpool were a badly beaten and bedraggled side when the final whistle put them out of their misery.
This is hardly a club in crisis, however, and Liverpool can look to the future with a hefty measure of optimism.
The chief reason to be cheerful is Klopp himself. He has taken Liverpool to two cup finals this season, without any real adjustments to his squad, and galvanised the club. He wanted to turn "doubters into believers" and even this disappointment will not dent faith in the German, who was one of Europe's most sought-after coaches when Liverpool appointed him in September.
The 48-year-old has the passion and charisma, plus the coaching ability, that Liverpool's fans and players can thrive on.
His big game players were totally marginalised in Basel. Philippe Coutinho barely touched the ball while the disappointing Roberto Firmino was substituted. The Brazilian duo, though, have shown enough this season to offer excitement for next term.
And in attack Daniel Sturridge, the great enigma, scored a goal of rare brilliance, curving an effort with the outside of his left foot into the far corner of Sevilla's net to give Liverpool the lead and what turned out to be false hope.
If Klopp can keep Sturridge fit and in the right frame of mind, Liverpool will have arguably England's most naturally talented striker. Roy Hodgson may yet be the beneficiary of Klopp's work with Sturridge at Euro 2016 in France.
Klopp will also see his options increased next season by the return fitness of striker Danny Ings and young defender Joe Gomez, who both created such an excellent impression before both succumbing to serious knee injuries.
So, as Klopp will have been stressing to Liverpool's players, this is not all doom and gloom.
What does cast a cloud is that Liverpool need serious reinforcements and a disappointing defeat here that leaves them without Champions League and Europa League football next season will make it more difficult to secure the right men.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | The trial gave 655 patients with melanoma the drug pembrolizumab, which stops cancers evading the immune system's assault.
The data, released ahead of the world's biggest cancer conference, also showed 15% of patients had no sign of cancer.
Experts said the findings were exciting and "really a step forward".
The immune system is a powerful defence against infection. However, there are many "brakes" built in to stop it attacking our own tissues.
Cancer - which is a corrupted version of healthy tissue - can take advantage of those brakes to evade assault.
Pembrolizumab, one of a new class of immunotherapies, cuts the brake known as PD-1.
Promising early data on the drug means it is already being used by doctors around the world.
But the latest findings, to be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's annual conference, suggest there is a long-term benefit.
Dr Caroline Robert, a researcher at the Gustave Roussy Institute in France, said: "Before 2011 advanced melanoma had a median overall survival of less than one year and things have changed a lot.
"What is really exciting is to see at three years the estimated survival rate is 40% and this is regardless of previous treatment."
Even patients that had tried other immunotherapies appeared to benefit in the trial.
However, patients did develop side effects including fatigue and a rash.
Dr Daniel Hayes, the president-elect of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, told the BBC News website: "This is frankly a pretty exciting abstract.
"This has been a bad disease, it's hard to treat, it's a sneaky disease and the mortality rates have been enormous so to see 40% of patients alive at three years is really a step forward.
"We're even wondering if we could use the word cure here, but it's going to take longer follow up."
Prof Peter Johnson, the chief clinician at Cancer Research UK, said: "It's fantastic news that the benefits of this drug can last for years rather than months for patients with melanoma who until recently have had limited treatment options.
"Pembrolizumab, one of several new drugs that works by unveiling cancer cells to the immune system, has already been approved for use on the NHS for patients with melanoma."

What is the summary of the provided article? | The modified herpes virus is harmless to normal cells but when injected into tumours it replicates and releases substances to help fight the cancer.
Trial results published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology show the therapy could lengthen survival by years - but only for some melanoma patients.
The treatment is not yet licensed.
Similar "immunotherapy" treatments for melanoma are already available in the US and in Europe, but researchers believe T-Vec would be a welcome addition to these.
It would also be the first melanoma treatment that uses a virus.
The latest study is the largest ever randomised trial of an anti-cancer virus and involved 436 patients from 64 centres in the US, the UK, Canada and South Africa who had inoperable malignant melanoma.
UK trial leader Prof Kevin Harrington, from the Institute of Cancer Research, London, said: "There is increasing excitement over the use of viral treatments like T-Vec for cancer, because they can launch a two-pronged attack on tumours - both killing cancer cells directly and marshalling the immune system against them.
"And because viral treatment can target cancer cells specifically, it tends to have fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy or some of the other new immunotherapies."
Dr Hayley Frend, science information manager at Cancer Research UK, said: "Previous studies have shown T-Vec could benefit some people with advanced skin cancer, but this is the first study to prove an increase in survival.
"The next step will be to understand why only some patients respond to T-Vec, in order to help better identify which patients might benefit from it."
Although it has not yet been licensed, doctors are excited about the very real prospect of a brand new type of treatment for advanced melanoma - and, in the future, possibly other cancers too.
The idea of using viruses to enter and kill cancerous cells has been gathering scientific pace and kudos.
This latest study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology is the largest ever randomised trial of an anti-cancer virus and provides tantalising evidence that the treatment concept could soon be moved into the clinic, after decades of work in the lab.
Researchers now want to do more studies to identify which patients might benefit from the treatment and whether it should be used alongside other melanoma drugs that are already approved.
Drug regulators will be watching closely and will soon make a final decision about T-Vec.
Earlier this year an immunotherapy drug, pembrolizumab, became the first treatment "fast-tracked" for NHS patients in England with advanced melanoma, under a new government scheme.
Drugs approved through the Early Access to Medicines scheme, launched in England in April 2014, have been scrutinised by regulators weighing up the risks and benefits.
Melanoma is the sixth most common cancer in the UK and kills more than 2,000 people in Britain each year.

The local authority had abandoned plans for the rise after the Scottish government made it clear it would lose far more money than it had anticipated.
Moray's ruling independent/Conservative administration had argued a rise would help avoid cuts in services.
Councillors backed the budget proposals which included raising the cost of school dinners and music tuition fees.
Council leader Stewart Cree said the budget would maintain services for the next year, but there could be some issues in future years.
The Scottish government had made it plain any council that put up the council tax would lose more government funding than before.
This made Moray's plans unrealistic, so council officials came up with other options.
Many other councils across Scotland are continuing to examine possible cuts and savings options.

In Miranda state, a police officer died and two others were injured, the government said, blaming opposition activists.
Opposition leader Henrique Capriles is the governor of the state. Police there confirmed the death but did not blame protesters.
The mass demonstrations came after a recall referendum process - an attempt to remove Mr Maduro from power- was suspended.
Opposition activists had gathered about 1.8 million signatures petitioning for a recall referendum, 400,000 of which were validated by electoral authorities.
But the process was halted last week after officials said the signature collection process has been marred by fraud.

Opposition leaders have called for a mass walk-out on Friday. After the general strike, if the government continues to block the recall referendum process, the opposition threatened to march on the presidential palace - something it has not been allowed to do since a march there in 2002 started a short-lived coup against the former President, Hugo Chavez.
Mr Maduro, a former bus driver and union leader, is blamed by the opposition for Venezuela's dire economic situation. The oil-rich country is facing widespread food shortages and spiralling inflation.
In turn, he has accused the opposition of having links to foreign states, the US in particular, and of seeking to overthrow him to "lay their hands on Venezuela's oil riches".

Network Rail said in a statement the train was involved in a "low-speed collision with the buffer stops" at about 12:18.
Mr Blakemore, 27, was travelling from Hatfield to London for a business meeting and said: "Everyone was standing up preparing to get off.

Syria: Story of the conflict
Mr Obama said the success of the cessation of hostilities would depend on whether parties including the Syrian government, Russia and their allies lived up to their commitments.
Attacks needed to end and humanitarian aid had to be allowed through to desperate civilians, he said.
"The coming days will be critical and the world will be watching," he said.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said he hoped the US would respect the truce.
Mr Obama said that factional rivalry among the rebels, as well as the campaign against IS, meant there would be no immediate end to violence.
He also insisted that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had to step down from power as part of any solution to Syria's civil war, but acknowledged there was "significant dispute" with Russia and its allies over this point.
"It is clear that after years of barbarity against his people, many will not stop fighting until Assad is out of power," he said.
Mr Obama also said progress was being made in the fight against IS, but added that the only way to inflict a lasting defeat on the group was to bring an end to the Syrian conflict.
He said:
"More people are realising that IS is not a caliphate, it's a crime ring. They are not winning over hearts and minds, they are under pressure," he said.
"In the end the brutality of IS is no match for the yearning of millions who want to live in safety and dignity."
Syria's main opposition umbrella group said that it was ready for a two-week truce to test the government's commitment to the plan.
But the High Negotiations Committee expressed concern that Moscow and Damascus would continue targeting rebels allied to the al-Nusra Front, a jihadist group that, along with IS, will be excluded from the cessation of hostilities.
The Kurdish Popular Protection Units (YPG), a militia that controls territory in northern Syria near the Turkish border, said on Thursday that it would respect the truce, but reserve the right to retaliate if attacked.

The gap was halved when Quinlivan fired into the Orchard net in the first minute of stoppage time.

They include 21-year-old Yacub Amin, from Syria, who said: "I left Syria and came to the UK because of the horrendous troubles in Syria.
"It was really bad. Every day people were killed... we would be in their position if we hadn't left."
He described the team as a "colourful family", adding: "Football is one of the things that brings people together."
Another player, Tamam Lencho, who was tortured during conflict in Ethiopia, said he would have been killed if he had not fled the country.
His journey to the UK took him through Sudan, Libya and Europe.
He said the new club had a "very nice team", adding: "We play together and we share our problems as well."
Co-founder Delwyn Derrick said Wrexham had a Portuguese-only team, a Kurdish team and other nationalities but none that brought different countries together.
He added: "I find it hard to believe no-one has done it before."

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | HIE, along with other enterprise and skills agencies, has been the subject of a review.
The process sparked a political row with opposition parties concerned HIE's board could lose its independence or be wound up altogether.
HIE supports businesses in the islands, Highlands, Argyll and Moray.
It began as the Highlands and Islands Development Board 50 years ago, becoming HIE in 1990.
The first phase of the Enterprise and Skills Review was published in October last year and recommended that a new national board co-ordinate the activities of HIE, Scottish Enterprise and other bodies.
In January, MSPs voted to demand the Scottish government allow HIE to retain its own board.
In his response, Mr Brown said HIE would "continue to be locally based, managed and directed" under his plans.
A report was recently published on the scope, structures and functions for a new board.
Prof Lorne Crerar's publication recommended HIE and the others retain their independent boards.
A new national strategic board would oversee the organisations' activities, it was suggested.
Ahead of Mr Brown's statement in the Scottish Parliament, former Labour MSP Maureen Macmillan has present a petition to Holyrood's public petitions committee.
The petition asks for the Scottish government "to reverse its decision to move power from the region to a centralised body".
Ahead of the statement, Mr Brown said the proposals were part of a wide-ranging programme to improve services for businesses and individuals.
He said: "It is essential that we do not lose sight of our aim of enhancing our enterprise and skills services to boost Scotland's economy, which will help to deliver our ambition of ranking among the top quartile of OECD countries in terms of productivity, equality, wellbeing and sustainability.
"In order to achieve this, our agencies must align behind a common purpose and be driven by strong leadership.
"Far from diminishing the role of agencies, the review will strengthen their capability and grow their capacity to jointly step-up the services and support they provide to businesses and individuals across Scotland."
HIE's work in recent years has included providing funding to upgrade a fabrication yard at Arnish, near Stornoway on Lewis, and helping to secure the future of jobs at a call centre in Forres.
It is involved in the roll-out of superfast broadband to rural areas and initiatives to encourage young people to live and work in the Highlands and Islands.
HIE has also flagged up the need to better tackle gender imbalance in the workplace.
In 2015, it officially opened its Inverness Campus, a large area of land at Beechwood in Inverness which HIE has made available for businesses and research organisations.
Inverness College UHI built a new college on part of the campus.
However, during the early stages of planning the campus, HIE was criticised by Western Isles Council - Comhairle nan Eilean Siar.
It said the agency should be investing in fragile areas of the region and not "booming" Inverness. | Economy Secretary Keith Brown is expected to make a statement on the future of the board of Highlands and Islands Enterprise later on Thursday. |
