Write a brief summary of the document. | The trio from Blackwood, in Caerphilly county, will play the final day of the annual festival on Sunday, 9 July.
"It's always really special to play in Wales," said a Manics statement.
"Particularly when we are playing an event for the first time. And to play on the festival's 70th anniversary will make it even better."
The band, whose hits include A Design For Life, Motorcycle Emptiness and If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next, have just finished the 20th anniversary tour of their platinum album Everything Must Go.
Tickets for the show at the Royal International Pavilion, which is expected sell out the 5,200 capacity, go on sale on Thursday.
"This is set to be Llanfest's biggest ever show and to say we are excited about the prospect would be an understatement," said festival's musical director Eilir Owen Griffiths.
"The Manics are one of the most important bands to ever emerge from Wales.
"They have an extensive back catalogue of politically charged songs, which resonate as much now as when first released, as well as their powerful newer works." | Welsh rock band Manic Street Preachers will play at the 2017 Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod to celebrate its 70th anniversary. |
Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Mr Colton, 34, of Swansea, died in August 2013 after months complaining of back pain, Worcestershire Coroners' Court heard.
Prisons and probation ombudsman Nigel Newcomen said Long Lartin prison's care fell "far below" that in the community.
He was serving a life sentence for murder.
Colton died at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch in August 2013, two days after being admitted as an emergency from the maximum security prison near Evesham.
A jury at the inquest in Stourport-on-Severn heard that his back pain was diagnosed by a prison GP and physiotherapist as muscular or skeletal.
Despite his condition worsening over the next two months, no further investigation of his symptoms was made, the hearing was told.
Claire Lees, acting head of healthcare at the prison, accepted the care given to Colton was below the required standard.
Asked by the coroner how such a case could happen in the 21st Century, she said: "It shouldn't have happened. I can't explain how it happened."
The inquest continues on Monday. | A prison watchdog described the case of a murderer whose cancer was only diagnosed days before he died as "one of the worst examples of poor care". |
Write a summary of this document. | Mr Jones unveiled the party's five pledges, including promises on the NHS, housing, schools and policing.
The first minister said the general election should not be about Brexit but about "seven years of Tory failure".
He defended his failure to mention Mr Corbyn, saying it was a Welsh launch.
Mr Jones told activists at the event on Monday that Labour's achievement "knows no bounds" when it stands united.
"We are in Welsh Labour together, councillors, MPs and AMs, we are united," he said.
The Welsh Labour leader said the party had "repelled" Tory advances in the Conservative target areas of Flintshire, Newport and Swansea in last Thursday's local elections.
"We did suffer some reversals. We'll learn from that," he said.
He called on voters to send back a "battalion of Welsh Labour MPs", saying Welsh Labour made "no apology" for local campaigning and boasting of its achievements governing Wales.
The party has five Welsh pledges for the election, three of which concern the devolved areas of health, education and housing:
"This election has to be about seven years of Tory failure," Mr Jones said, claiming that austerity showed no sign of ending.
"This is not the Brexit election," he insisted. "That was the referendum last year - a result I respect. I was a Remainer - so was Theresa May."
Mr Jones claimed the prime minister had "no plan" for leaving the EU.
"I know that all she is doing at the moment is posturing," he said.
"We produced a plan, where's their plan?"
Mr Corbyn visited Cardiff in April for a campaign rally shortly after the election was called.
With the first minister by his side, he had urged a crowd of about 700 on Whitchurch Common to join him on a journey of "hope and excitement", praising Labour's record in power in Wales.
Mr Jones told BBC Wales that the party leader was not mentioned at Monday's event "because it is Welsh Labour's campaign launch" which he himself was fronting.
"It's pretty clear to people who would be prime minister if we got a majority," the first minister said, denying that he thought Mr Corbyn was an electoral hindrance.
"We live in an age of devolution. That's why it's hugely important that parties put forward their Welsh pledges," he added.
This is a clear strategy by Carwyn Jones' Welsh Labour to differentiate itself from Jeremy Corbyn's UK Labour party.
You can see why - the focus on Welsh Labour is thought to have helped the party hold on to a number of councils last week, and helped it fight off the Tories in marginal seats in the assembly campaign last year.
But how do you do it in a general election when it would not be Carwyn Jones walking into Downing Street but Jeremy Corbyn?
The lack of focus on the UK leader by Labour stands in stark contrast to the Conservatives who seem to talk about the leadership of Theresa May in every other sentence.
Wall Street followed European and Asian markets, which plunged after US Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen warned growth in the US could be hit by global economic turmoil.

Can you provide an overview of this section? | Credit Agricole said 708m euros (£563m) had been written off.
The French bank apologised to investors, saying that it had been "misled".
Portugal unveiled a plan to rescue BES on Monday after record losses of 3.6bn euros for the first half of the year.
Credit Agricole, which has a 14.6% stake BES, said second quarter net income was 705m euros compared with profits last year of 1.3bn euros.
"We can only regret having been misled by the family with which Credit Agricole was trying to create a true partnership to build the biggest private bank in Portugal," CA's chief executive Jean-Paul Chifflet said.
Mr Chifflet added that Credit Agricole was closely following investigations and audits underway at BES.
Credit Agricole reserves the right to take legal action should any issues arise out of the probes, a spokeswoman for the bank said.
"The new management [of BES] has indicated that it would consider taking legal action, and we will take part," Mr Chifflet told journalists.
Despite CA's problems, the company's shares opened almost 5% higher on Tuesday. Analysts said the bank's profit before tax was higher than expected.
Analysis
Nigel Cassidy, BBC Europe business reporter
With so much unfinished business when it comes to rationalising, refinancing and regulating EU banks, this latest and severe collateral damage to Credit Agricole is a reminder that it's not just known troubled lenders that have to bite the bullet, declare write-downs and clean up their balance sheets.
Yet it may be too hasty to see these latest events as a new leg of a European banking crisis that won't quite go away.
Dig beneath the surface and it's as much a more straightforward case of thwarted ambition.
France's second-largest listed bank by assets has become the victim of its own long-standing plan to become a major banking force in southern Europe.
It has already shelled out a fortune extricating itself from what turned out to be unwise investments in Greek and Spanish lenders.
In the case of Portugal and Banco Espirito Santo, it wasn't just hit by the business failure at the biggest private bank in Portugal, in which it had made a large investment.
Credit Agricole's chief Jean-Paul Chifflet has alleged publically that his bank was misled by the patriarch of the powerful Espirito Santo family, whose interests span hotels and commercial property at home and abroad.
Legal action may eventually get to grips with the specifics here, but what's crystal clear is that this is just the latest sign that the "systemic risks" banking regulators like to harp on about remain real.
Europe still has too many over-ambitious and under-capitalised banks - and by no means all of them are in southern Europe.
On Sunday, Portugal revealed 4.9bn-euro rescue plan for BES.
Shares in the Portuguese bank have plunged 89% since June, when concerns about the financial health of the company first came to light.
Last week BES reported a 3.6bn euro loss, which wiped out its existing capital buffer of nearly 2.1bn euros and cut it to below the minimum level required by banking regulators. | French bank Credit Agricole said profits almost halved after it wrote off the value of its stake in the troubled Portuguese Banco Espirito Santo (BES) to zero. |
Please provide a short summary of this passage. | Three teenagers were injured after the female driver's car collided with a tree in Dundee's Camperdown Park on Wednesday evening.
Family and friends on social media had congratulated the 17-year-old on passing her driving test that morning.
A 19-year-old male passenger was also injured in the incident.
The 17-year-old female passenger is being treated in Dundee's Ninewells Hospital.
The crash happened at about 22:10 on Wednesday.
Police Scotland has appealed for information from anyone who witnessed the crash or who was in the area at the time. | A teenage driver involved in a crash that left a passenger in a critical condition had only passed her driving test hours earlier, it has emerged. |
Summarize this article briefly. | It issued an initial offer of shares on Thursday worth 7.5% of the bank.
The Spanish government owns 68% of the lender, having injected it with 18bn euros (£14.8bn) of EU-funded aid when a property crash brought the country to the brink of financial collapse.
Since then, Spain's biggest bailed-out bank has returned to profit, with shares up 29% so far this year.
It made 512m euros in 2013, compared with a loss of 19.2bn euros the previous year - the biggest loss in Spanish corporate history.
The government plans to sell off further small stakes this year, but no more than 18% in total, because it wants to maintain control for now.
"This is truly a sign of the shift in perception and of the reality of our financial system," said Spain's Economy Minister Luis de Guindos.
Bankia shares closed on Thursday at 1.58 euros each, implying a valuation of 1.36bn euros for the stake.
Its bailout in 2012 was part of a 41bn-euro aid package from the European Union, designed to rescue Spain's financial system.
The country was on the verge of defaulting on its debts, following the collapse of a long building and housing boom in 2008.
Spain's surviving banks have been forced to take steep losses and move toxic assets into a so-called "bad bank" set up by the government.
It followed reports in October 2014 that the 17-year-old was attacked in Gabalfa.
A BBC Crimewatch reconstruction followed as part of the inquiry, with scores of calls from the public in response to an appeal.
But South Wales Police said no further action will be taken.
Det Insp Lloyd Williams said: "As a result of our inquiries, our investigation has concluded and no further police action will be taken."
The accident happened on the Kasai river - a tributary of the Congo River - in the western province of Bandundu.
Information Minister Lambert Mende told the BBC the vessel had been overloaded and 80 people had been confirmed dead.
After decades of conflict, DR Congo has few roads or rail links and many people travel on often overloaded boats.
The latest accident occurred on Wednesday.
Mr Mende told the BBC the river level had been low and the accident occurred when the overcrowded boat hit a mud bank.
He told the AFP news agency that 76 survivors had been found and that the ferry had officially been carrying 180 passengers.
But he said many more people are likely to have boarded the boat illegally.
Several local officials have said about 140 people are believed to have died.
The ferry was travelling to the capital Kinshasa from Mushie, about 30km (20 miles) from the town of Bandundu, AFP reports.
Last November at least 73 people died when a boat sank on Lake Mai-Ndombe, also in Bandundu province.
DR Congo - a country the size of western Europe - has only a few hundred kilometres of paved roads outside the cities, so the rivers are the main long-distance transport link for the majority of people who cannot afford to travel by air. | Spain's government has started selling some of its stake in nationalised lender Bankia.

Can you summarize the given article? | The NASL is a famous sporting brand name, thanks to the Pele-led razzmatazz days back in the 1970s, when the New York Cosmos were the big name in a pioneering drive using global superstars to woo American sports fans.
The present-day NASL, and indeed the current Cosmos, are different entities to their predecessors, and rather than leading the charge this time around, the league is now the second tier in the US, the equivalent of the Championship in England.
But the current regime is not content to play second fiddle to the top tier Major League Soccer (MLS) and has expansion plans; in terms of team numbers, geographical spread, broadcast reach, and sponsor deals.
The NASL hopes that the new deal with CBS Sports Network, starting on 2 July with nationwide coverage of the game between Oklahoma City-based Rayo OKC and Canadian club FC Edmonton, will kick-start additional fan interest.
"This is a tremendous development and opportunity for us," says league commissioner Bill Peterson, who points out that CBS was the NASL broadcast partner 40 years ago, during the Pele and George Best heyday.
"Television is very important for our experience and growth, it means we move to a higher level of sports awareness across the country. It means NASL will be seen by 90 million additional viewers a week. "
Peterson says that as well as the 12-game TV schedule with CBS, a deal signed with BeIn Sports - formerly Al Jazeera Sport - during the spring football season, will continue during the autumn season. BeIn is currently in about 17 million US homes.
Meanwhile, NASL also has a broadcast partnership with ESPN's streaming service ESPN3.
That exposure, it is hoped, will in turn lead to business benefits too, as potential new entrepreneurs emerge.
"We continue to see a lot of interest throughout the US and Canada from people looking to potentially bring soccer to their city," Peterson.
"These people are very serious, and we have half a dozen instances of potential owners wanting us to go through and outline with them the processes involved in being admitted.
"We have explained to them exactly what is needed to become involved, about how we expect our clubs to engage with their local communities, local business and politicians."
Three new teams have emerged so far this year: in Miami media mogul Riccardo Silva of M&P Silva and Italian legend Paolo Maldini are co-owners.
In Oklahoma, Rayo Vallecano of Spain's La Liga is a partner with a local businessman; and in Puerto Rico the new club owner is NBA star Carmelo Anthony.
The NASL has also admitted a team in San Francisco for next year, and the Carolina Railhawks has a new owner, Stephen Malik, a local healthcare entrepreneur.
However, on the downside the league has lost the Atlanta Silverbacks (ceased operations) and San Antonio Scorpions (to the third-tier United Soccer League), and also looks set to lose Minnesota United to the top-tier MLS.
With regard to Atlanta, Peterson says "we feel for fans of clubs that don't continue", and on the other two changes, adds "it is something that comes with the structure and newness of soccer in the USA, it is still a little bit of a Wild West out there".
Unlike the centralised MLS, the NASL is not a "single-entity" structure, nor does it have a salary cap, which gives owners the freedom to build a franchise as they see fit.
"Our business model has established itself," says Peterson. "Our plans now are to continue expansion until we come to 18 or 20 teams."
He says that since its emergence in 2011, the new NASL has allowed the process of franchise growth to happen organically, having waited for towns and cities to approach them, rather than going out with a masterplan to cover the entirety of the country immediately
"With San Francisco coming on board, we now have a presence on the West Coast," says Peterson.
"Of those six instances of interest that I mentioned, four would be also considered West Coast. So before the end of the year we could have another club out there. That would help with our national footprint, and also help attract potential sponsors."
At the moment the league does not have a title sponsor, but Peterson believes that will come about when the league reaches 18 to 20 teams.
"In the meantime we are talking to a lot of other different companies about coming into supporting the league as partners, and how we can help their firms by spreading awareness of their brands through the NASL."
He points to the deal signed with US sports kitmaker Under Armor, to provide the official league football, as proof that they are getting big names on board.
On the playing side, names familiar to British football fans are Joe Cole at Tampa Bay, and Georgios Samaras at Rayo OKC.
"But we do not just recruit former big-name players from overseas," he says. "We now have a mix of more and better US players, appearing together with better overseas players."
One thorny issue the NASL is in constant contact with the US Soccer Federation about is promotion and relegation between the MLS and NASL.
"There is a lot of promotion and relegation in football around the world. But for club owners in the US that can be a scary prospect," says Peterson.
"There are advantages and disadvantages, and we are in discussions about it, which would not have happened a couple of years ago. If it is not for today then it might be for the future."
As for the future growth of soccer in the US, he says the size of the country means there is scope for dozens of new teams, and thousands of new fans.
"There is a huge untapped interest out there," he says. "We have barely scratched the surface so far." | The North American Soccer League kicks off its "fall", or autumn, season on Saturday accompanied by a new nationwide TV deal that it hopes will help spread the popularity of football and the division in the US. |
Please give a summary of the document below. | The 63-year-old Belgian was officially unveiled by the Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) on Thursday as he signed a two-year contract.
Broos has not managed at national team level before but insisted he is "not afraid" and demands to be respected.
"I will never accept intrusion in my job as a coach. I am the coach and I take the decisions," he said.
"It is the first time I will be training a national team and there is always a beginning but I hope for good results and I am not afraid to take the post.
"I have always been passionate about African football and Cameroon has a rich football history having participated at World Cups and won the Africa Cup of Nations.
"They have good players and this, coupled with the prospect of qualifying for and playing in two big competitions, was a big attraction."
Fecafoot has set Broos two main objectives: to qualify the team for the 2017 Nations Cup and also for the 2018 World Cup.
His first task is to prepare for the Cameroon's 2017 Nations qualifier against South Africa on 26 March.
Broos admitted he will initially rely on Alexandre Belinga, who was the interim coach, for information and to get up to speed.
And he will need to make a fast start to the job in order to win over some skeptical Cameroon fans who are unsure if he is the right man to lead the Indomitable Lions.
Meanwhile, former Cameroon captain Rigobert Song has been appointed coach of Cameroon's national team for locally-based players.
He replaces Martin Ndtoungou Mpile, who took the team to the quarter-finals of the African Nations Championship in February.
He was seriously injured after being struck by a Ford C-Max car while crossing Dumbarton Road, in Scotstoun, at about 21:25 on Sunday.
Emergency services attended and the man was taken to the Western infirmary.

The attraction is being planned by the Zipworld group, which runs Europe's longest zipline above Bethesda's Penrhyn quarry.

Alpine coasters are normally located in ski resorts to provide an income during the summer - the world's longest is in the resort of Hoch-Imst, Austria.
The company behind the scheme said this one would be the first of its kind in the UK.
The warning by independent experts funded by the Cabinet Office came after they looked at deaths before 75 in 2011-12 in more than 200 local areas.
In each area, the premature mortality rate was higher among those with mental health problems.
But in 51 areas, it was judged to be "particularly worrying".
It is well known that people with mental health problems die earlier. But this is the first time death rates have been analysed down to a local level.
Overall, the premature death rate among those with mental health problems was 2.4 times higher than that of the general population.
The review- by the Open Public Services Network, part of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce - said the physical health needs of people with mental health problems were not being addressed.
The findings mirror a recent report by the Nuffield Trust think tank and come as NHS England is preparing to unveil its new strategy for mental health services.
Report author Charlotte Alldritt said with one in six people suffering from a mental health problem each year it was vital the NHS improved services.
"We need to narrow this gap across the board," she said.
"Everywhere can do better, but the areas that are doing even worse than you would expect are particularly worrying.
"What our research showed was that some of this is relatively easy to prevent.
"It is about making sure they get basic checks for things such as diabetes and high cholesterol."

Why there is a mountain to climb on mental health

The report found that while suicide was undoubtedly a "significant" factor in the high number of early deaths, poor physical health was likely to be responsible for about two-thirds of it.
Researchers looked at 200 different sources of data as part of their review and found those with mental illness were:
Those identified with the very worst performance on premature deaths were the places where rates were above average and where there was the biggest difference between mortality in the general population and those with mental health problems.
Many of these areas have high levels of deprivation, as would be expected, but a number of relatively affluent places were also flagged up.
For example, Bath and North East Somerset, Wokingham and the London borough of Kingston all had premature death rates in the general population below the national average but high rates among those with mental illness.
Paul Farmer, of the mental health charity Mind, said the report should act as a "wake-up call".
"It is shocking that people with severe mental health problems die much younger than the general population, often from preventable conditions which ought be picked up through routine testing and screening," he added.
Mental Health Minister Alistair Burt said the issues highlighted by the report were "really important" and needed addressing. | The UK's first alpine coaster is to be built in Snowdonia.

Summarize the information given below. | The 29-year-old Northampton player, who has been banned for a total of 54 weeks for offences such as gouging, biting and striking, succeeds Chris Robshaw.
"Dylan is an honest, hard-working bloke and I admire his aggressive and uncompromising approach to playing rugby," said England coach Eddie Jones.
Hartley said it was "a huge honour" to be named England captain.
Capped 66 times, Hartley became the youngest ever Premiership captain in 2009 when he took over the role at Saints.
He has been sidelined with concussion and a rib injury but started for Saints in Saturday's European Champions Cup win over Scarlets.
Harlequins flanker Robshaw, 29, was captain for the past four years but came in for heavy criticism during England's poor World Cup campaign.
Hartley has revealed he thought his England career might be over after he missed the World Cup because of suspension.

He added: "I'm really excited about the challenge ahead but, in reality, leading this squad of players will not fall just to me.
"There are a number of guys in this squad who will all have important leadership roles to play so we can take this team forward."
Jones, who replaced Stuart Lancaster, added: "I have every faith he will lead the team tactically and passionately. English rugby is indebted to Northampton to have produced such a fine player."
Former England hooker Brian Moore says Hartley's appointment is a "big risk", but England international James Haskell backed the "abrasive" Hartley as someone who will "command respect".
BBC Radio 5 live rugby union reporter Chris Jones:
"Since being appointed England coach, Eddie Jones has made it clear he will do things differently to Stuart Lancaster, and the appointment of Hartley as captain is a clear indication of this.
"Jones wants to build an aggressive, dominant and confrontational pack of England forwards, and he will hope Hartley can spearhead this, especially given there is a feeling England were 'too nice' during the World Cup.
"Clearly Hartley's disciplinary past will be an issue, and this move will be seen as the first substantial gamble of Jones' tenure. However Hartley's supporters will argue his track record in an England shirt is a good one, and he showed his leadership credentials when captaining his club Northampton to the Premiership title in 2014." | Controversial hooker Dylan Hartley has been named England captain for the forthcoming Six Nations. |
Can you summarize the given article? | Rudy Bruynius and McKayla, from Morden in south London, had been fishing at Fistral beach in Newquay while on holiday with family on 19 August 2016.
A large wave knocked them off the rock and Mr Bruynius, 33, died that night and McKayla died four days later.
An inquest in Truro has concluded their deaths were accidental.
More on the Newquay beach deaths and other Cornwall stories
The inquest heard the family had been fishing in the same location the day before too because Mr Bruynius had been recommended the spot by a local on a previous trip to Newquay.
Mrs Brunyius said how surprised she had been by the sudden change in weather conditions.
"We were fishing off the rocks and within a short time the waves became bigger and started to splash us."
When the first big wave struck Mr Bruynius was standing with his wife Lisinda on the rocks with their two sons, aged six and 10, and McKayla whom he had just removed from her pushchair.
Mr Bruynius was knocked into the sea with McKayla in his arms. Mrs Bruynius was also swept into the sea at the south end of Fistral beach, but was rescued with minor injuries.
Their sons managed to scramble up the rocks to safety, the inquest heard.
In a statement, Mrs Bruynius told the inquest the sea had appeared to rise by about 6ft (1.83m) within five minutes.
She described how "a mass of water came over the top of Rudy, McKayla and I. It came from absolutely nowhere."
They were in the process of moving up the rocks, when a second wave hit, knocking them into the water.
She said: "I could hear Rudy screaming for help and I could hear the boys screaming for help.
"I glanced across and could no longer see McKayla in Rudy's arms. Rudy appeared to be floating in an upright position with his head back.
"I swam over to Rudy but he was unconscious."
Onlookers immediately called emergency services and within minutes, the RNLI had launched two lifeboats, and jetskis from Fistral beach and located all three.
Mr Bruynius was declared dead just before midnight and McKayla was transferred to Bristol Children's Hospital but died on 23 August.
The family said they hoped others could learn from what had happened to them and a fundraising page to support the survivors has raised nearly £50,000.
Det Con Jarrod Yewen said the sea conditions had changed without warning: "That day it had been sunny but there was a developing weather front coming in.
"I don't think anyone could have foreseen the weather conditions were going to change so quickly. The swell effectively doubled in size where they were fishing," he said.
Cornwall Coroner, Dr Emma Carlyon, concluded: "All evidence suggests this was a tragic incident as they were washed into the sea when conditions changed dramatically."
She told the hearing they were in the sea for about 15 minutes, and had died from drowning.

Can you provide an overview of this section? | Maniac has been restricted to festival film screenings and academic viewing by government officials and will not be eligible for mainstream cinema or DVD release in the country.
The film, directed by Frank Khalfoun, stars Wood as serial killer Frank.
Neil Foley of distributor Monster Pictures said he was "flabbergasted".
The director of the Australia-based company said the ban was an "insult to the intelligence" of adults in New Zealand.
The film, which received a limited UK release in March, is due to screen at the New Zealand International Film Festival in Auckland and Wellington at the end of July.
Ant Timpson, a programmer for the festival, said the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) was concerned that the movie was "injurious to the public good".
"It's saying that the POV [point of view] nature of the film mixed with the psychopathic behaviour of actor Elijah Wood is more than disturbing, that it's potentially dangerous in the hands of the wrong person," Timpson suggested.
The original version of Maniac, by slasher director William Lustig, was a cult hit when it was first released in 1980.
The remake received mixed reviews in the UK press, with The Observer's Philipp French calling it "unwelcome".
The Hollywood Reporter's Megan Lehmann said the film was a "sadistic art-house bloodbath" when it screened at Cannes in 2012.
Monster Pictures said on its website that it would "explore every option" to have the ban revoked, though admitted "at this stage it ain't looking good".
Changes have been made to the Reverend Philip North's ceremony because of his opposition to female bishops.
The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, said the arrangements were made "for prayer, not politics".
The Reverend Anne Morris, who serves the same diocese as Mr North, replaced her sermon with the protest over the changes, at St Oswalds in Knuzden.
Dr Sentamu, has said he will not take part in the "laying on of hands" - a traditional part of the ordination service - during Mr North's ceremony at York Minster in February.
On Friday, he said his decision was not due to a "theology of taint".
Some within the Church of England believe he would be "tainted" because he will be consecrating the Church's first woman bishop, the Reverend Libby Lane, as Bishop of Stockport on Monday, a week before Mr North's ceremony.
However, Dr Sentamu said he had the power to "delegate" part of his role as chief consecrator, citing the examples of two traditionalist bishops he had consecrated "despite the fact that I have been ordaining women to the priesthood since I first became Bishop for Stepney in 1996".
St Oswalds' church warden Alison Critchley said Ms Morris had been supported in her protest by parishioners and children at the church's Sunday school had also written letters to the bishop about the protest.
She said women in the Church of England felt like "second class citizens in a church that should be united".
"If [Mr North] wants that position in the Church, he should do it like everyone else does," she said.
She added that she would not take communion from the bishop if he were to lead a service at the church.
Discussing the issue on BBC Radio Lancashire, the Bishop of Blackburn, the Right Reverend Julian Henderson, said he believed the arrangements were correct.
He said there was "space in the Church of England for different points of view, particularly in relation to the issue of women in leadership".
He added the Diocese of Blackburn was a "place where people can come and thrive in their ministry, whether they are men or women".

Sam Saunders went close early on, sending a free-kick from 25 yards narrowly wide with Jamie Jones left standing before Chairboys stopper Jamal Blackman had to push away Jobi McAnuff's curler.
However, the hosts went ahead on 25 minutes as McAnuff's cross was helped on by Godden and Schumacher was on hand to nod in from close range.
The lead was doubled just before half-time when Pett was tripped in the area by Dominic Gape, leaving Godden to send Blackman the wrong way from the spot.
The visitors were the architects of their own downfall for Stevenage's third, as Aaron Pierre was dispossessed on the edge of his own area by Pett, who rounded Blackman to score.

Can you summarize the following information? | Campbell Tweed is lambing 3000 ewes on his 1600 acre hill farm near Larne.
This is the business end of the birth season.
Thirty rams did their work months ago. Now it's up to the ewes.
They're mostly Easycare sheep - a low maintenance breed that doesn't need much help.
Most will lamb without assistance on the hills.
But some lambs will be lost - around 10% - to infection or hypothermia.
If they can get to them in time, Campbell's farm hands will fit them with protective plastic coats to give them a helping hand.
These lambs are mostly destined for the dinner table.
Some will be kept back for breeding stock.
But the bulk will be fattened up over the summer and by the end of August will be on the menu in homes and restaurants across Europe to where much of Northern Ireland lamb is exported.
Campbell hopes to get around £70 a head for them.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Danesha Couch, 20, from Kansas City, gave birth to daughters Darla and Delanie on 17 June - just 26 months after her first set of twins were born.
All six babies, she told the BBC, were conceived without fertility drugs and delivered by caesarean section.
She gave birth to her first set of twins - sons Danarius and Desmond - on 13 April 2014.
Desmond died shortly afterwards because of a placental abruption.
Danesha was left devastated: "Losing a child hurts, and it's mentally damaging to anyone that has a heart.
"All I could do was pray. It was a really tough time."
A few months later Danesha met her current partner, Jeffrey Pressler, and on 29 May last year she gave birth to her second set of twins, Delilah and Davina.
"It was a blessing," she said, especially after the death of Desmond.
"My mum started calling me double trouble," she said, laughing.
"When Danesha gave birth to the first of twins [we had together], our families were very excited. The second time around they were like 'What? It's another pair of twins!'"
But Danesha said both of their families had been incredibly helpful since the birth of Delilah and Davina.
"I'm grateful for every bit of help that I can get!" she added.
A few months later, in late 2015, Jeffrey and Danesha received the news that Danesha was expecting twins for a third time
"When I got the news, I pretty much knew that we had to step up," the mother-to-be explained. "I knew that I had to buck up and put on my big girl panties."
The couple began making preparations for the new arrivals, selling both of their cars to buy what Jeffrey refers to as their 7-seater "van".
And on 17 June this year Danesha gave birth to daughters Darla and Delanie.
So how are Danesha and Jeffrey finding life looking after their five healthy children, all of whom under the age of three?
"It's definitely my second job," says Jeffrey, who has taken on extra hours at work to help provide for the family while Danesha is on maternity leave.
"It's changed both of us. We have been maturing and working harder to provide for our kids."
"It's tough sometimes, but Jeff and I try my best," says Danesha. "They are my top priority. They keep both of us awake all through the night."
She says that meeting other people who have had twins has been very helpful: "I've been to various parenting groups, and it's been good to hear that I'm not alone in these things."
"It's tough enough to wake up and smile in the world at the moment. But as long as I know that my children are safe, I'm happy." | A mother in the United States has given birth to three sets of fraternal twins in a little over two years. |
Please give a summary of the document below. | Ray Woodhall, 54, said he suffered so many cardiac arrests a nurse apologised for having to beat his chest so much.
He said another nurse told him the most resuscitations she had seen for a patient in arrest was seven.
Mr Woodhall, from Wednesbury, West Midlands, estimates he needs six months to fully recover from his ordeal.
"My last arrest was the most frightening," said the father-of-three who was treated at Worcestershire Royal Hospital which confirmed it activated an out-of-hours team of six specialist staff to address "multiple cardiac arrests".
Mr Woodhall said his partner was holding his hand when "the alarm went off and I saw the crash team running in" and "she watched me die in front of her".
"Dying," he said, was "like falling asleep", which is what he thought kept happening until medical staff told him "you went".
He was first taken ill in the last match when he complained of "soreness" in his chest.
He initially refused an ambulance before agreeing when his discomfort persisted.
Paramedics told him he was having a heart attack and it was at hospital that the "arrests started".
Mr Woodhall said there was an operation to fit him with two stents and by about 21:00 GMT on the day he became ill, his family left his bedside before being called back amid concerns he would not survive the night.
Most of the cardiac arrests, he said, came between 21:00 GMT and 03:00 GMT the following morning.
Mr Woodhall, a distributor for a soft drinks manufacturer, praised an "amazing" nurse who told him "the most resuscitations I've ever done was seven".

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | Cyprus was the only crisis-hit eurozone country to restrict capital transfers, as it faced a run on the banks.
The controls were eased in January.
There will no longer be a monthly cap of €20,000 (£15,000; $22,000) on transfers by individuals to foreign banks, or of €10,000 for travellers moving money out of the country.
Cyprus received a €10bn bailout from the EU and International Monetary Fund (IMF) after its biggest banks nearly collapsed in March 2013 because of huge losses on their Greek investments.
The island's second-biggest lender, Cyprus Popular Bank (also known as Laiki Bank), was wound up and deposits worth more than €100,000 in the largest bank, Bank of Cyprus, were seized.
Those measures were part of the deal to ensure that Cyprus funded part of the €10bn bailout.
Speaking on Friday, Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades voiced confidence that the Mediterranean island was recovering well, despite three years of recession.
Lifting capital controls, he said, was "a vote of confidence in our banking system which, now fully independent of Greek banking institutions, can move forward".
The Greek debt crisis had a severe impact on Cypriot banks, which lost about €4.5bn worth of Greek sovereign bonds - equivalent to 25% of Cypriot gross domestic product, Reuters news agency reports.
Campaign posters reading "Oui, on peut" - a translation of the former US president's popular 2008 campaign slogan, "Yes, we can" - have appeared around Paris.
Mr Obama is not a French citizen and is thus ineligible to run.
But those behind the prank say the point is to highlight the lack of inspirational candidates.
Their message to the candidates, one of the organisers told the BBC, is: "Hey guys, you really don't make us dream."
French voters go to the polls on 23 April, and, unless one polls more than 50% in the first round, they will return on 7 May to decide between the two frontrunners.
A dominant figure in the campaign has been far-right leader Marine Le Pen, who has benefited from claims of financial wrongdoing which have swirled around the campaign of her centre-right rival Francois Fillon since late January, culminating last week in the announcement that a magistrate was launching a formal inquiry into the claims.
Current opinion polls give her a lead of several percentage points over Mr Fillon and centrist Emmanuel Macron - though both of her rivals are predicted to beat her in a two-way runoff.
What makes Marine Le Pen far right?
Ms Le Pen may be backed by a greater number of French voters than ever, but her enduring toxicity for many of the rest means the campaign has been dominated by a negative message, say commentators: How can we keep her out?
It is this, in part, that the organisers of the Obama2017 campaign - Parisians in their 30s - are reacting to.
"It's still possible to vote for a president and not against a candidate," their website reasons.
"We think we can do something else than the extreme," said one of the organisers, who refuse to reveal their names, saying they want the focus to remain on the campaign and not on them as individuals.
"We are anti-political, we are not against any candidate in particular, but we are not a big fan of any of them. [This campaign is] a way to say 'Guys, eh wake up - you are uncool, and this campaign is uncool - we'd rather have Obama'."
The viral take-off of the campaign caught them by surprise - but the French media, said the organiser, has failed to get the joke.
"They are very annoyed, people take it all too seriously," he said, adding that even the left-leaning newspaper Liberation ended a short piece on the campaign on a sniffy note: "If that's what amuses them..."
"We want this to stay on the joke level," he says. | Cyprus is lifting the last remaining capital controls it imposed on its banking system during the financial crisis of 2013.

Summarize the content provided below. | Bolivia lost access to the coastline in a 19th Century war with Chile, leaving it landlocked ever since.
Chile says Bolivia's demand has no historical or legal basis.
The two countries have had limited diplomatic relations since 1978, and previous attempts to negotiate the redrawing of the border have failed.
'Battle ahead'
Speaking in The Hague, Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca said his nation had demanded that Chile negotiate in good faith with Bolivia "a swift and effective agreement that grants it [Bolivia] fully sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean".
Bolivian President Evo Morales said he had decided to file the suit after "listening to the Bolivian people".
He had earlier expressed his confidence that Bolivia would regain its access to the sea, saying: "We're going to win this battle because we're right."
Reacting to the news, Chilean Interior Minister Andres Chadwick ruled out any dialogue.
"If they want to talk about Chile's maritime sovereignty, no. No dialogue is possible," he said.
The borders between the two neighbours date back to the 1904 Treaty of Peace and Friendship, signed after Bolivia lost 400km (250 miles) of coastline to Chile during the War of the Pacific (1879-1884).
Bolivia has long tried to reclaim the territory and has repeatedly severed relations with Chile when those attempts failed.
It still maintains a small navy and each year celebrates the Day of the Sea.
President Morales had announced his intention to take the case to the International Court of Justice at this year's celebrations to mark the day.
The Chilean government said it was not worried about Bolivia's move, as "no-one in the world will accept that a country unilaterally dismisses a treaty which is in full force". | Bolivia has filed a lawsuit against Chile at the International Court of Justice in The Hague to reclaim access to the Pacific Ocean. |
Write a summary for this information. | Genetic factors had a "substantial influence" on the risk of being convicted of a sex offence, it found.
The study analysed data from 21,566 men convicted of sex offences in Sweden between 1973 and 2009.
The findings could help prevent crime, said co-author Prof Seena Fazel from the University of Oxford.
The study - by researchers from Oxford University and the Karolinska Institute, in Sweden - looked at the proportion of sexual offences carried out by sons and brothers of convicted male sex offenders.
The authors then compared the data with the criminal records of men from the general Swedish population with similar age and family profiles.
It found around 2.5% of brothers of convicted sex offenders were themselves convicted of sexual offences - compared with 0.5% of men in the general population.
The study also looked at the sons of sexual offenders, and found they were nearly four times more likely than average to have committed a similar crime.
Other studies in the past have assessed the link between familial relationships and the propensity to commit crime.
One found that children of male violent offenders were about 3.5 times more likely than average to commit violent crimes themselves.
In the latest study, genetic factors were found to have a "substantial influence on an increased risk of being convicted of sexual offences", Prof Fazel said.
"It tells us something about why if we take two sets of brothers, whose backgrounds might look identical, one set has a higher risk of sexual offending than the other," he said.
The analysis could help authorities target potential offenders, Prof Fazel said, adding: "At the moment genetic factors are typically ignored when it comes to making risk assessments of those at high risk of sexual offending."
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that while a person's environment was a contributing factor to their risk of sexual offending, a person's genes could contribute about 30-50% of the risk.
But the authors stressed the analysis did not mean someone with a brother or father convicted of rape would also go on to become a sex offender.
"It's important to remember that it's nothing mystic," said Professor Niklas Langstrom, from the Karolinska Institute.
"People get worried about the fact that there's a strong genetic component in problematic human behaviour.
"Of course, you don't inherit in some kind of automatised robotic way so that you will grow up to be a sexual offender."
Police said two men, aged 31 and 33, were victims of a serious assault on Renfield Street, in central Glasgow, at 03:15 on 19 October last year.
The group of men which attacked them later boarded a taxi near Buchanan Street Bus Station.
Police said they wanted to trace all six men pictured in the CCTV images.
Det Con David Copeland, of Police Scotland, said: "This was an unprovoked attack on two men by a much larger group which left the victims with serious injuries.
"This type of activity on what seems to be a night out cannot be tolerated. We seek the assistance of the public in tracking down those responsible."
The men in the images are described as white, Scottish, in their late 20s or early 30s, of medium build, with one being of heavy build.
Four men wore dark tops and jeans, one was wearing a yellow coloured t-shirt and another wore a white cardigan with dark sleeves. The other man was wearing a light coloured t-shirt.
Det Con Copeland added: "One of the men wearing dark clothing was also wearing a green Robin Hood-type hat with a red feather at the left hand side.
"Another male was wearing a Heidi-type blonde wig with plaits on either side.
"I am particularly keen to trace the taxi driver who picked up a group of men from a taxi rank at Buchanan Street Bus Station at 0346 hours."

Please summarize the document below. | In May 1916, 16 men - mainly from the north of England - were incarcerated in cells at the North Yorkshire castle.
The graffiti features pencil drawings and inscriptions, including slogans, poetry, and portraits of loved ones.
A grant of £365,400 from the Heritage Lottery Fund will be used to protect the work and allow public access.
The prisoners, known as the Richmond Sixteen, included a Sunderland footballer, a clerk at the Rowntree's chocolate factory in York, a bookseller from Ely and men of faith.
Kate Mavor, English Heritage's chief executive, said the graffiti was an "important record of the voices of dissent" during the war.
She said it was vital to preserve "these delicate drawings" to ensure the stories were not lost.
High levels of moisture and damp meant the layers of lime wash and plaster on the walls were crumbling and flaking off, she added.
Sunderland centre-forward Norman Gaudie, a Quaker, was one of the men held at Richmond Castle before being shipped to France to face court-martial and the threat of firing squad.
His daughter-in-law, Marjorie Gaudie, said: "It is important to remember men like Norman. They were courageous men.
"He acted from the deepest conviction that all life is sacred. He knew it was wrong to take a life and so he refused to fight."
"He was prepared to die for his belief and that took immense courage," she added.
The men were sent to France on 29 May 1916 and a few weeks later were sentenced to death by firing squad, which was immediately commuted to 10 years hard labour under orders from Prime Minister Herbert Asquith.

British Gas boss Mark Hodges said: "We must ensure that our costs allow us to be competitive for our customers."
The company has a workforce of 28,000 in the UK.
Unions described the announcement affecting the insulation teams as a "sickener", saying staff affected by the news felt "gutted".
Brian Strutton of the GMB union said: "At the end of last year, we went through a reorganisation which we were told was to make the business more competitive and everyone thought that was behind us.
"But it seems while we were doing that, the company was hatching secret plans to shut the whole operation down."
British Gas, which is Britain's largest energy supplier, has not yet said when the job cuts will come into force.
"No people anywhere should live with daily violence, with attacks in the streets, with knives, with scissors, cars," he said, alongside Israel's PM.
Later, Mr Kerry met the Palestinian president in the West Bank.
Nineteen Israelis and more than 90 Palestinians, many of them assailants, have been killed in weeks of unrest.
The attackers who have been killed have been shot by their victims or security forces. Other Palestinian fatalities have occurred in clashes with troops in the West Bank or in cross-border violence in Gaza.
Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist movement which runs Gaza, said it condemned Mr Kerry's remarks and considered his statement "a full support of the Israeli crimes and terrorism".
Soon after Mr Kerry spoke, a Palestinian driver rammed into Israeli security personnel at a checkpoint in the north of the occupied West Bank, injuring four people, the Israeli military said.
The driver, from the West Bank city of Jenin, was shot and wounded.
The militant Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement said the attack, near the city of Nablus, was "a heroic response to John Kerry plans to abort the intifada [Palestinian uprising]".
Mr Kerry said he would speak to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about how to "to push back against terrorism, to push back against senseless violence, and to find a way forward to restore calm and begin to provide opportunities".
It is the secretary of state's second visit to meet Israeli and Palestinian leaders since peace talks collapsed in April 2014.
He is not expected on this trip to try to bring the sides back to the negotiating table, despite the worst unrest since last summer's war between Israel and Hamas.
The surge in violence began in September this year when tensions at a flashpoint holy site in Jerusalem revered by Jews and Muslims boiled over, amid rumours that Israel planned to relax long-standing rules to strengthen Jewish rights at the complex. Israel has repeatedly denied such claims.
Smith arrived at Stenhousemuir's Ochilview ground in plenty of time for the 15:00 GMT kick-off only to discover the game was at Brechin's Glebe Park.
Fortunately, Smith made it to the Angus club's home in time to take his place in the starting XI. However his side lost 2-1 and remain bottom of the division.
Smith's error was spotted by William Hoggan, Stenhousemuir's head of community football, who tweeted: "Brechin City keeper Graeme Smith rocks up to Ochilview Park today but they're the home team.

Provide a brief summary of this section. | The policy being introduced by a south London council is aimed at improving health and stopping littering.
Wandsworth Council will hand over £30 vouchers if someone can prove they have given up smoking.
The policy will apply to those littering all "smoking-related rubbish" - including empty packets.
The council will also hand out pocket ashtrays to promote stop smoking campaigns and "litter education exercises" will be held to support the borough-wide pilot scheme.
Jonathan Cook, the council's environment spokesman, said the approach would "simultaneously help people give up smoking and reduce the amount of smoking-related litter".
The council's health spokesman Jim Maddan added: "We know that 65% of smokers want to quit, but often they don't know where to turn for help. This scheme will help them find that help."
Of the 614 litter-related fines issued in Wandsworth in the last year, 50% were for dropping smoking-related rubbish.
The fine is £80, reduced to £55 if paid within 10 days.
The council reported the cost of smoking to Wandsworth is around £30m a year - through lost productivity from early deaths, smoking breaks, NHS costs, passive smoking, waste disposal and smoking-related fires.
Similar schemes have been introduced in other London boroughs including Enfield, Haringey and Maidstone and the City of London.
Research by the organisation found women only make up 24% of people heard about in the news, despite comprising half of the human population.
The GMMP's Sarah Macharia says the situation is not much better than 20 years ago when the study first began.
She said it would take "at least three quarters of a century" to reach parity between the genders.
Read highlights here from the live debate about whether news is failing women chaired by the BBC's Philippa Thomas between 1300 and 1430 today.
Ms Macharia added: "In 1995 women were 17% of the people interviewed and the subjects in the news, compared with 24% today."
Our 100 Women season showcases two weeks of inspirational stories about the BBC 100 Women and others who defy stereotypes around the world.

The report claims digital media has a similar gender divide - with women featuring in a just a quarter of online news stories and tweets across the world.
Some areas of news coverage are better than others for gender balance. Women are more likely to feature in stories about science and health, for example, than they are about politics.
And big regional variations exist too. Women are most visible in the news in North America and least visible in the Middle East.
The report commends Latin America for improving the proportion of female reporters and presenters. In 2000, only 28% of women were in these roles. Now, 15 years on, it stands at 43%.
Dr Macharia thinks there are wider cultural reasons for this change. "It's the region in the world with the highest proportion of female heads of government and it has vibrant feminist movements," she said.
In North America, on the other hand, the proportion of women working in the media appears to be dropping. In 2005, 48% of reporters and presenters in the US and Canada were women. Today it is 38%.
The report's authors say mass redundancies in the American newspaper industry have hit women particularly hard - leaving online news production dominated by men.
The GMMP estimates that across the globe, women make up 37% of all reporters - exactly the same proportion as 10 years ago. That means there is still some way to go to make the world's newsrooms more equal. | Smokers caught dropping their cigarette butts are to be rewarded with shopping vouchers - if they complete an anti-smoking course.

The 23-year-old was fighting for the first time in 13 months after recovering from two hand operations.
He now hopes to meet Liam Smith, who defended his WBO title against Jimmy Kelly on the same bill in Manchester.
There were ominous signs for Carslaw as Williams, who also holds the Commonwealth title, began to dominate towards the end of the first round.
A series of body shots forced the Scot down to one knee, and he waited until the last possible moment before getting back to his feet.
But the fight was over after only six seconds of the second round when a routine-looking jab to the temple floored Carslaw.

What is the brief summary of the provided content? | Jersey marked 71 years since its liberation from Nazi occupation on 9 May with a service and re-enactment in Liberation Square.
Bailiff, William Bailhache, gave his speech twice as the power cut hit just before he was due to speak.
Heavy rain also caused a number of people in the audience to leave early.
Hundreds still turned up to mark the event, seen as the island's national day including ex-servicemen and occupation survivors.
Organisers had planned a change to the traditional order of service, moving the Bailiff's speech to before the religious portion of the programme.
As the power cut hit just before the Bailiff was due to speak he was asked to give his speech again, with amplification, during the religious portion, returning to the normal order.
Jersey Electricity say the power was off in both islands but did not say why. The power cut lasted about 20 minutes.
In his speech, William Bailhache urged people to be tolerant of other people's religion, describing Jersey as a tolerant society.
He said: "In this Island today let us be beacons of tolerance, respecting those of different backgrounds, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or religion."
A traditional part of the service is the singing of Jersey's unofficial anthem, Beautiful Jersey.
For decades it has been sung by Sadie Rennard, but for the first time student Rachel Hayden performed the song.
The re-enactment saw Jersey's army cadet force replicate the original liberating forces journey through a packed Liberation Square in 1946.
This was then followed by a parade of the Jersey Field Squadron, bands, cadet forces and classic vehicles. | Jersey's Liberation Day celebrations were hit by an island-wide power cut, causing the big screens and public address system to fail. |
Summarize the content given in the passage. | Claire Sugden made a statement on the issue of mental health in prisons to the assembly on Monday.
She told MLAs there were currently 1,533 prisoners in NI jails and of those, 740 had an addiction, while 417 had a mental health illness.
She announced a review into services for vulnerable prisoners following five recent deaths in jail.
Four of those who died in custody took their own lives.
The justice minister said a community response plan was being developed which would involve the health and prison services with the aim of detecting a potential suicide cluster.
Ms Sugden said the needs of prisoners were "complex" and said addiction issues, mental illness and generally poor coping skills were higher among the prison population.
"However we portray it, the custody environment is not designed to deal with those experiencing severe chronic mental health issues," she said.
"Whatever level of training we provide to staff they remain prison officers.
"The Northern Ireland Prison Service cannot meet this challenge alone, we need the ongoing help and support of the Department of Health, other departments, and partners across the justice system, and in the wider community."
The justice minister said that following the most recent death of Barry Cavan in Maghaberry Prison, a meeting was held last Friday to develop a community response plan.
A similar model is adopted whenever there are potential clusters of suicides in the community, she said.
"The aim of using this approach is to detect a potential suicide cluster and thereby, prevent further deaths by suicide," she said.
"I also believe this is the first time this model, which has been used successfully in the community, has been adopted in a prison in Northern Ireland."
Objectives of community response plan for prisoners
Ms Sugden said the prison service was working in partnership with the South-Eastern Trust, which delivers health care in Northern Ireland's prisons, to review the suicide and self-harm policy.
The minister said she, along with Health Minister Michelle O'Neill, would conduct an immediate review of vulnerable people in custody.
"Officials from both departments are now working together to define the structure, scope and timeframe of this review," she added.

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | The crowd outside Guangzhou station swelled to nearly 100,000 at its peak on Monday night, police said.
Central China has experienced some of its coldest weather in years.
The rare snow has coincided with the run-up to Chinese New Year - where hundreds of millions of migrant workers travel home to see their families.
Many trains from north and central China were delayed by the snow - leaving passengers in the south stranded with no transport.
More than 50,000 people still remained stuck outside Guangzhou railway station on Tuesday, state media said.
Local police said 5,200 officers had been deployed to maintain order.
They urged passengers to check their train details online and avoid "blindly heading to the station to wait for trains", saying this would exacerbate the overcrowding.
Officials estimate nearly three billion trips will take place over the holiday season, in what is considered the world's biggest annual human migration.
Meanwhile, traffic jams had led to more than 400 people in Guangzhou missing their flights, Xinhua news agency reported.
Prosecutors said there was "serious or consistent evidence" against France's Loick Jammes, New Zealander Rory Grice and Irishman Denis Coulson.
The trio, who face a maximum sentence of 20 years in jail if they are found guilty, cannot leave France.
Jammes' lawyer said the charges allowed legal teams to "put forward a real defence" of their clients, "respecting the presumption of innocence".
A woman told police she had been drugged and raped in a hotel in Bordeaux following a league match between Bordeaux and Grenoble on March 11.

Alok Sharma, Conservative MP for Reading West, wrote to Conservative-run West Berkshire Council.
Swedish home furnishing store Ikea has submitted a planning application to build a store in Calcot near to Junction 12 of the M4.
Ikea said it had agreed "potential improvements" to roads near the store.
In his letter to the council, Mr Sharma wrote of the plans for Pincents Lane Retail Park: "I welcome the potential creation of new jobs in the area should this application be successful.
"However, this cannot be at the cost of increased pressure on the already congested road network which my constituents currently living in the area have to cope with on a daily basis."
All of West Berkshire Council is up for election in the upcoming local elections on 5 May.
Conservative candidate for Calcot and council vice-chairman Councillor Peter Argyle said he could not really comment because he sits on the planning committee and did not want to prejudice the decision.
However, he said: "On the positive side, it's a good thing for the area and will redevelop an old site badly in need of it, and it will bring employment.
"The thing we need to be concerned about is the traffic issue."
Liberal Democrat Calcot candidate Pam Lusby Taylor said: "Job creation is a very good thing.
"The traffic issue is a concern but I believe it will be properly addressed before it's given permission.
"Personally, I welcome the store as I believe many others do and I believe Ikea are going to be very responsible in their opening hours."
Labour candidate for Calcot Gordon Lewis said there were "concerns over traffic as with any major store" but negotiations were under way between the council and Ikea.
"As long as they are resolved it would make an improvement to the area as it's a pretty tatty, redundant site.
"The key issue is it's next to the motorway junction and it's a busy road at the best of times."
On its website, Ikea said an "extensive" consultation process had been carried out with residents from the surrounding areas.
"The responses have been taken into consideration to help ensure that the final design meets the needs of both Ikea and the surrounding community."
It added: "Since the public exhibitions in September, Ikea has actively worked with West Berkshire Council and the Highways Agency to discuss and agree potential improvements to the highway in the vicinity of the store."

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | In a statement, the furniture giant said some articles in Ikea Family Live could be viewed in Russia as gay "propaganda".
The controversial law was approved by President Vladimir Putin in 2013, drawing criticism from rights groups.
They say it has been used to ban gay rights events, a claim Russia denies.
In the statement (in Russian), Ikea said: "When we do business, we observe the legislation of the countries where we work, therefore to avoid violations, we have taken the decision to stop publishing the magazine in Russia."
It said the magazine - which is published in 25 countries - "shows different aspects of people's lives at home, regardless of their age, gender, sexual orientation, nationality and religion".
"The magazine reflects the values ​​of the Ikea company, including equal rights and opportunities for all."
The company's press office in Russia stressed that Ikea had not received any official warnings in Russia related to the "gay propaganda" law, the AFP news agency reports.

Summarize this article briefly. | Walmart driver Kevin Roper, 35, from Georgia, has been charged with death by auto, and is due in court on Wednesday.
Mr Morgan is improving but still critical after the multi-vehicle crash on a New Jersey highway on Saturday.
He is expected to remain in hospital for several weeks but comedian James McNair, known as Jimmy Mack, died.
They were travelling in a limo bus when it was struck by the Wal-Mart lorry.
Morgan, 45, suffered injuries including broken ribs, a broken nose, and a broken leg.
Authorities said Mr Roper, 35 apparently failed to slow for traffic and swerved at the last minute to avoid a crash. Instead, his truck hit the back of the limo bus.
In all, six vehicles were involved in the accident, but no one from the other cars was injured.
In a statement released on Saturday, Walmart president Bill Simon said the company would "take full responsibility" if authorities determined one of its trucks had caused the crash.
"We're praying for the family and friends of the passenger who lost his life in the terrible accident," the statement said.
The driver of Morgan's vehicle, Tyrone Gale said he had been disorientated after his vehicle flipped over, and could hear the passengers in distress.
"I climbed around and heard Tracy screaming for help," he told ABC News.
"I climbed up on the body of the limo bus … but I couldn't reach them."
Morgan's assistant, Jeffrey Millea and comedian Ardie Fuqua Jr were also critically injured in the crash and remain in hospital.
Morgan was a series regular on Saturday Night Live for seven years and earned an Emmy nomination for best supporting actor for his role in the sitcom 30 Rock.
He is known for his outrageous impressions, including Mike Tyson and Oprah Winfrey, but struggled with alcoholism.
During one notorious live TV appearance in Texas, he removed his shirt and announced "someone's gonna get pregnant".
After being arrested twice for drink driving and ordered to wear an ankle monitoring device, Morgan said it took tough talk from his then-teenage son to sober him up.
He found an ally in fellow Saturday Night Live star Tina Fey, who wrote Morgan into her sitcom 30 Rock, playing an exaggerated version of himself, called Tracy Jordan.
Fey described his character as a "lunatic comedy star", whose antics frequently threaten to derail a comedy TV show, loosely based on Saturday Night Live.
Following Saturday's crash, Morgan's 30 Rock co-star Alec Baldwin said: "Let's hope for a full and speedy recovery for Tracy and the others involved in that crash".
Chat show host Conan O'Brien added: "Thinking about Tracy Morgan and his family today. Hoping for a fast recovery for this sweet and uniquely funny man."
Morgan's spokesperson, Lewis Kay, said Morgan's family was "tremendously overwhelmed and appreciative of the outpouring of love and support from his fans". | The driver of the lorry involved in a fatal crash that injured comedian Tracy Morgan had not slept for more than 24 hours, according to court papers. |
Please summarize the passage below. | The raiders took her son's presents, but Alex Mahjouri thanked them for making her see the "real importance" of Christmas.
Four-year-old River kept one donated present.
The pair delivered the rest to Derby Children's Hospital on Christmas Eve.
"To be able to do something and see other children happy and know that you're doing good with something is brilliant," said Mrs Mahjouri, who is pregnant with her second child.
To whoever burgled our house, thank you for making me see the real importance of Christmas - spending time with loved ones - and the imagination Christmas brings to children.
The family also passed on more than £2,000 that has been donated to them by people who heard about their home in Castle Donington, Leicestershire, being burgled.
In the open letter, posted on Facebook on 9 December, Mrs Mahjouri had written: "Thank you for making me realise all the materialistic items you took aren't worth my tears as we as a family are safe and unharmed and that's the most important thing."
The burglars stole a money box belonging to River, in which he had been saving money to donate to charity.
They also took jewellery that had belonged to Mrs Mahjouri's father and some presents he bought for her before his death six years ago.
Leicestershire Police said the investigation into the burglary was ongoing and nobody has been arrested.
Many children in the hospital have been discharged home for Christmas, so the presents will be given out as they come in over the festive period.
Lead nurse Jo Watson said: "We're quite astounded at how generous Alex and the family have been in the context of the situation that happened earlier in December." | A mother who wrote an open letter to burglars who ransacked her home has been inundated with so many Christmas presents and donations she has given them to a children's hospital. |
What is a brief summary of the information below? | Gerrard Kavanagh, 44, of Mayfield Road, Leicester, pleaded guilty to killing Wendy Milligan, 46, on 2 May.
Kavanagh assaulted Ms Milligan by placing her in a choke hold from which she never recovered, Leicester Crown Court was told.
He was sentenced to three years and eight months in prison for the manslaughter of the mother-of-two.
Kavanagh was arrested after telling a friend that he had panicked and left his flat after killing his girlfriend.
Police found Ms Milligan's body after an anonymous phone call telling them a woman was dead in a flat.
Det Insp Simon Shuttleworth said: "This was an unpleasant case that highlights the dangers of excessive drinking.
"He may not have intended to kill her but a reasonable and sober person should know the dangers of such an act."
He added: "Wendy was a mother-of-two and had a loving family who have now lost her. I hope now they can have some closure from this awful experience."

With more than half a million people in the UK dying each year, the funeral industry makes about £2bn in annual revenues, according to market research company Ibis World.
Nearly 1,500 businesses employ 20,105 people, and industry revenue is expected to grow by 4.7% by the end of 2014, as increased competition for burial space is slowly pushing up the price of cremations.
With such a large and lucrative market, it's no surprise that tech firms have been eyeing up the death care and funeral industry.
Your Last Will, for example, is an iPhone app that lets anyone create a last message for loved ones in the form of a "video will", to be viewed after death.
You create and upload a private video will and are then issued your own QR code - a kind of smartphone readable bar code - which you give to a trusted confidant who is likely to outlive you.
After your death, your confidant signs in to the app using the specified QR code and receives an email containing a link to your last message video. This link is automatically sent to your chosen list of recipients.
The company acknowledges that "in most countries video wills cannot replace written wills", but for an additional fee, Your Last Will does provide the opportunity to have your video submitted for legal review in what it describes as "an easy process".
"Death is obviously an unpleasant but unavoidable part of life and it's much easier to leave a last message or last will via video than in the traditional way, which involves a lawyer and witnesses," Wolfgang Gabler, chief executive and founder of Your Last Will, told the BBC.
He believes technology will continue to influence death care in the UK and across the world.
"There will be many new businesses around this theme in the near future. I already met with other start-ups that are working on other issues of life and death," he says.
"Our goal is to make it really easy and comfortable for people dealing with this important subject."
Some firms are more creative with their ideas. Celestis, for example, is a US-based company that uses rocket technology to blast human remains into space.
The first "memorial spaceflight" took Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and psychedelic drug advocate Timothy Leary to the stars in 1997.
Since then, the company has added a variety of options. A simple Earth orbit service will cost $4,995 (£2,930), but something more fancy, such as a lunar orbit, will cost $12,500.
And in 2016 the Voyager service will truly go where no-one has gone before.
Using solar sail technology - which uses radiation pressure from the sun as a means of propulsion - to power the flight, the idea is that the craft will travel on indefinitely into deep space.
Appropriately enough, the remains of Gene Roddenberry and his wife Majel, and James Doohan who played Scotty in the series, are part of the crew on this continuing mission.
Once the remains have been launched into the stratosphere loved ones can track the deceased in real time with live satellite feeds on the Celestis website.
Biographies may also be uploaded and DVDs of the launch are available as part of the package deal.
"We don't think of our services as an expensive novelty, with prices beginning at $1,000 and the average cost of a funeral in the US reaching $8,000," Celestis founder Charles Chafer told the BBC.
"But rather, we offer a compelling tribute for someone who has longed to travel in space as their final wish.
"We do believe that as humanity becomes a multi-planetary species we will take all of our rituals and memorials with us, including our funeral and memorial services, not as a solution to reduced available space on Earth but as part of a natural evolution."
Technology is also being used in less bombastic ways, with some individuals paying for funerals with bitcoins, the digital crypto-currency.
One user of popular news aggregator Reddit described last year how he paid for his grandmother's funeral with the currency.
Kadhim Shubber, who writes for Bitcoin news site CoinDesk, is not surprised a funeral has been paid for with bitcoins, particularly as the currency is already being used in healthcare in various parts of the world, including London.
"On the whole we find that committed bitcoiners are keen to pay in bitcoin wherever they're able. Already there are doctors in California and elsewhere who accept bitcoin payments for privacy reasons and a private practice in London does too," he says.
The traditionally conservative funeral business is certainly becoming more technology aware, the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) believes.
"There is an increasing number of apps being used by funeral directors, and the NAFD has an arrangement with a company providing apps to our members," a spokesman said.
"The vast majority of members have websites, so there is a growing number of ways funeral directors can reach and inform the public."
For example, the NAFD's free online obituary service, Forever Online, enables relatives and friends to inform everyone of a bereavement via the internet, complementing the usual newspaper announcements.
While "smart funeral software" from the likes of Cemneo is on the increase, the NAFD, which represents 80% of all funeral homes in the UK, says it has yet to see the swathes of new funeral and death-care-focused start-ups that Your Last Will's Mr Gabler believes are on the horizon.
"Bereaved families are becoming more involved with funerals - how they should be conducted and the content of the ceremony - and there is a lot more personalisation of funerals than there has been previously.
"So the vast majority of funerals are still arranged face-to-face between the bereaved families and the funeral director," the spokesman said.
It seems that for the time being, funerals will remain relatively traditional.

Give a concise summary of the following information. | The state news agency KCNA said the ban would stay in place "until the incident that happened in Malaysia is properly solved".
Mr Kim, the estranged half-brother of North Korea's leader, was killed in Malaysia last month.
North Korea has denied accusations that it carried out the killing.
It has also been fiercely critical of the Malaysian investigation into Mr Kim's death, and has rejected the findings of a post-mortem examination which ruled he had been killed with VX nerve agent, the most potent of all known chemical weapons.
Pyongyang has also not yet confirmed that the body is that of Kim Jong-nam, acknowledging him only as a North Korean citizen. Mr Kim was travelling using a passport under a different name.
While Malaysia has not directly blamed North Korea for the attack, there is widespread suspicion Pyongyang was responsible.
Several North Koreans are being sought by police in connection with the killing. Two women - one Indonesian and one Vietnamese - have been charged with murder.
Both Malaysia and and North Korea have now expelled each other's ambassadors.

The official launch will take place later, seven years after the publication of the Saville Inquiry into Bloody Sunday.
It found that 14 civil rights marchers and bystanders had been killed without justification by the Army in Derry.
Rev Jackson said the museum provided a frame of reference for The Troubles.
"There is a healing process but there is hope emerging," he said.
"I am very optimistic about the future here. It is important not to look backwards with fear but forwards with hope."
A number of exhibitions in the museum tell the people's story of the civil rights movement, the Battle of the Bogside, internment, Free Derry and Bloody Sunday.
The artwork on the front wall of the museum was created by local artist Locky Morris and is entitled We Shall Overcome.
It uses the actual sound waveform of the moment on Bloody Sunday when the crowd sang the civil rights anthem.
Those 21 seconds have been cut into the fabric of the building and are intended to be seen as a "paean to community resistance amidst deadly force".
Bloody Sunday Trust Chairperson Robin Percival said: "We are all thrilled to officially open the new Museum of Free Derry after a hugely successful first few months in our flagship building.
"While it has been a long and hard road, we are proud to be back in the heart of the Bogside, where so much of our story happened."
Terence Brannigan, who is the Tourism NI Chairman, said that the museum further strengthens the visitor offering in the North West.
"It is an attraction worthy of domestic, national and international appeal," he said.
"The ever-increasing visitor numbers are testament to the Museum of Free Derry's enhanced facilities and focus on the ever popular local heritage special interest groups."

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | He told BBC Breakfast it "has not worked for years".
"It is an ancient tax based on the value of physical buildings," he said.
Sir Terry said in a "modern digital economy" with mobile phone and ATM networks, and online retailing, the system needed to be "completely reformed, probably scrapped".
He said if there had to be a tax it should be "low, broad-based, spread across the economy as a whole and not just for the owners of the buildings".
Sir Terry is credited with turning Tesco into an international force, and was the superstore's chief executive between 1997 and 2011.
Shareholders enjoyed double-digit growth during his tenure.
He said the minimum wage was "good" for society.
"I think that the risk with the minimum wage is that you do not move it forward too quickly," Sir Terry said.
"Really, employers and the markets should set good wages for people.
"Good businesses reward their people and pay them well. If you move it too quickly, too artificially, you start to compress wage levels and start to distort the labour market and you can actually lose jobs."
Sir Terry, who now works at discount retailer B&M, said it was "very hard" for the British economy to cope with the recession, due to its focus on financial services.
He said the "huge energy spike" and cost of petrol had also hit the country.
But he said the economy had "coped pretty well" with the recession, and that the government had moved "in the right direction".
When asked about the grocery market, Sir Terry said: "The winners of the future will be those who best understand customers' future needs and offer the products and services that suit them best."
"All you can do is try and serve ordinary customers - put something out there that is useful to them in their busy lives.
"They will come and shop with you and if you do it well, you will grow. And then who knows what the future brings."
Sir Terry said "all the best retailers" were "ambitious for growth", adding the value sector was doing "particularly well".
He said his success was in part down to a "large dose of luck".
"You have got to stick at things, be interested in business.
"I have always been curious about people. I am interested in how people change and how they get through life and if you look closely at what people need in their lives, that is where business opportunity comes from." | Sir Terry Leahy, former Tesco chief executive, has said the business rates system should be reformed and "probably scrapped". |
Can you summarize the following paragraph? | The 55-year-old man is being held in connection with the death of Lisa Skidmore, whose body was found in a bed at the Wolverhampton property.
Ms Skidmore's body was discovered on Thursday at Mill Croft, Bilston, where her mother, 80, was also found beaten unconscious, West Midlands Police said.
The suspect, from Moseley, Birmingham, is currently in custody.
Ms Skidmore, a senior staff nurse, had worked at the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust for nearly 20 years, most recently based in the community.
A post-mortem test on Friday confirmed she had been strangled.
Last week, a spokesman for the NHS trust described her as a "kind, caring and compassionate nurse and an absolute credit to her profession".
Det Supt Mark Payne, head of homicide investigations at West Midlands Police, said officers were alerted to her death by the ambulance service after the fire.
He said it had been a "very confused scene" and it had taken some time, together with the post-mortem examination, "to understand exactly what went on".
Officers believe Ms Skidmore was fatally attacked before the fire was started in the first-floor bedroom.
Her mother, who police believe stumbled upon the intruder, was later taken to hospital with severe facial injuries.
Det Supt Payne said Ms Skidmore lived alone but was part of a close family. He said the experience had been particularly "traumatic" for her mother and specialist officers were providing support.
The latest scanning techniques were used to uncover a network of buildings at the 11th Century Old Sarum near Salisbury, Wiltshire.
The results include a series of large structures, possibly defences, with open areas of ground behind possibly for mustering resources or people.
Old Sarum was the original site of Salisbury, which is two miles away.
Source: English Heritage
It was originally an Iron Age fort, established around 400 BC, and occupied by the Romans after the conquest of Britain in AD 43.
This latest survey of the site was carried out by the University of Southampton and concentrated on the inner and outer baileys of what would have been the fort.
Other structures plotted on the plan include residential areas and industrial features such as kilns or furnaces.
The university's director of archaeological prospection services, Kristian Strutt, said: "Archaeologists and historians have known for centuries that there was a medieval city at Old Sarum, but until now there has been no proper plan of the site.
"Our survey shows where individual buildings are located and from this we can piece together a detailed picture of the urban plan within the city walls."
He said the reinforcing of the entire outer bailey during the Middle Ages represented a "substantial urban centre" and more non-intrusive work was needed to build on this knowledge.
The techniques used to survey the land included magnetometry, earth resistance, ground penetrating radar and electric resistivity tomography, which uses electrodes to probe underground.
These new approaches are "exciting and innovative", according to Neil Holbrook from Cotswold Archaeology, and "could be applied pretty much anywhere".
"The survey adds a whole new dimension to our understanding of a site which we thought we knew. In fact, there is so much more to be found out," he added.
"The plan shows for the first time just how much other activity there was around the castle and cathedral which have long been known. It sets those monuments within the context of a bustling, vibrant town established shortly after the Norman conquest." | A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a nurse was strangled before being left in a house fire.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Russian athletes are banned from international competition after the country was accused of orchestrating a state-sponsored doping programme.
Wada has already been criticised for being slow to investigate the claims.
Now the BBC has seen documents that suggest Briton Reedie may have failed to act with due speed and rigour.
A Wada spokesman said all decisions taken by its president "are in the interest of the agency and the clean sport movement".
The BBC has obtained a copy of a hand-written note by Reedie, apparently passed to Sergey Bubka, the vice-president of athletics' world governing body the IAAF, on 1 August, 2015.
Both men, who are members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), were attending an IOC session in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The note, written on Wada-headed paper, appears to tip off Bubka that trouble was brewing for athletics in the shape of a new documentary by the German anti-doping journalist Hajo Seppelt.
It signs off with the message: "Hope no more damage will be done. Craig."
The ARD documentary made allegations of widespread blood doping.
The BBC showed the note to Jack Robertson, Wada's chief investigator from 2011 to 2016 and a key figure in the organisation's independent commission into Russian doping and corruption allegations.
"Considering this note is in fact penned by Craig Reedie, it is extremely disappointing but not surprising," said Robertson.
"If he wrote these words then, to me, this further illustrates his overall loyalties clearly rest with the national and international federations - in this case the IAAF - and not the protection of clean athletes' rights.
"His mindset should have been an eagerness to learn if any further revelations were unearthed… showing further potentially valuable evidence of systematic doping and criminal misconduct.
"Instead, this note shows he is more concerned about further embarrassment to an IAAF vice-president than discovering and seeking the truth."
Robertson also questioned Sir Craig's rigour.
"Craig has been very public that his management style is an avoidance of conflict, which would be wonderful if he were president of his homeowners' association, but certainly not as leader of Wada and the global anti-doping community," he added.
"Clean athletes need a defender, not an ostrich."
Also critical of Sir Craig was Seppelt, the man behind the ARD documentary.
"It is so embarrassing for the president of the world body who is fighting at the top against doping," he said.
"He is more interested to avoid any damage for sports instead of doing the opposite - to fight against corruption and doping in sports."
Wada spokesman Ben Nichols said Bubka wanted to "discuss the likelihood of further revelations" from the German television documentary with Sir Craig.
Nichols added: "This certainly was not meant to imply in any way that the Wada president wouldn't want doping issues to be exposed.
"However, it is always disappointing to learn that anti-doping organisations that are entrusted to protect athletes may have failed to do so.
"The August allegations related to the blood database were submitted to the independent commission, which ultimately determined that the IAAF had not failed in its duty in this regard."
On Monday, Wada was criticised by the US Senate.
In a letter to Sir Craig, Senator John Thune wanted the 75-year-old Scot to explain why Wada had taken years to investigate claims of a government-run doping programme in Russia.
"These recent allegations, and Wada's subsequent response, have called the organisation's strength and credibility into question," Thune said.
The BBC has also been made aware of an email sent by Sir Craig to Wada staff a few days after a Seppelt documentary broadcast in December 2014.
The documentary exposed widespread Russian doping, and corruption with anti-doping processes, allegations an independent Wada report verified, leading to all the country's track and field athletes being banned from Rio this week. That decision was ratified by the IOC.
The email, sent on 9 December, 2014, came while Wada was planning its reaction to the claims of doping and corruption.
It suggests, by some interpretations, that Sir Craig wanted his staff to assess how the story was playing out in the media before deciding whether to initiate an investigation.
Part of the email reads: "Things are changing here by the minute. How many press comments and Twitter? And are the sources serious?
"I need to think this through and will be back to you tomorrow. One day is not significant. Let me know the stats."
The day before this email from Sir Craig, a strongly worded email from the United States Anti-Doping Agency chief Travis Tygart implored Wada to act quickly.
The BBC has obtained a copy of the email, sent directly to Sir Craig. Tygart wrote: "In the past, Wada has not shrunk from its responsibility to lead the fight against doping… yet in the brief few days since these allegations were reported there seem to be indications that Wada has… deviated from its traditional leadership role.
"Moreover… Wada's initial statements in response to the allegations of Russian doping have been disappointing and unfortunately equivocal and insufficient."
A week later, Wada announced it was forming an independent commission, led by Dick Pound, that ultimately confirmed the ARD documentary's allegations.
In response, Nichols said Wada had needed time to analyse the claims made in the ARD documentary as well as seek "advice from management, input from stakeholders, its impact on stakeholders and in the international media".
He added: "It was important to review as much information as possible before quickly taking the significant step of launching the investigation."
However, British MP Damian Collins said the BBC's disclosures did not suggest Sir Craig was "a man who has a big appetite to get to the truth and get to the bottom of things".
Collins hinted that Sir Craig may also be asked to give evidence to a future meeting of the Culture, Media and Sport committee.
Sir Craig, a close ally of IAAF president Lord Coe, who this week announced that Russian athletes would be banned from Rio, is due to step down as IOC vice-president in August when his term of office ends.
Nichols said Sir Craig acknowledged that his role as vice-president could lead to "perceived split loyalties" and "some suggestions of bias", but said the "perceived conflict" should come to an end when he steps down from the IOC executive committee. | The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) and its president, Sir Craig Reedie, are under increasing pressure over the handling of the Russian doping crisis. |
Can you summarize this passage? | A spokesman for Mrs Merkel said the German leader "views such practices... as completely unacceptable".
Mrs Merkel called on US officials to clarify the extent of their surveillance in Germany.
The White House said President Obama had told Chancellor Merkel the US was not snooping on her communications.
"The United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of the chancellor," White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Wednesday.
The US has been on the receiving end of anger from allies over spying allegations based on material said to originate from fugitive American leaker Edward Snowden.
By Nick BryantBBC News, Washington
The language in the White House statement responding to allegations that the NSA monitored Angela Merkel's private mobile phone is deliberately precise. "The president assured the chancellor that the United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of Chancellor Merkel." It did not deny possible past surveillance on her phone.
Clearly, Angela Merkel believes these allegations are plausible enough to confront directly Barack Obama, in what must have been an awkward conversation.
Tonight at the White House there was supposed to be a state dinner for Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. But she cancelled the visit last month following allegations that the NSA snooped on her personal communications.
Only on Monday, President Obama had to reassure his French counterpart, Francois Hollande, over allegations published in Le Monde of electronic eavesdropping on French political figures and business leaders on a vast scale.
The diplomatic backlash is getting fiercer by the day.
Mr Carney told reporters that Washington was examining concerns from Germany as well as France and other American allies over US intelligence practices.
But the spokesman did not address whether Mrs Merkel's phone had been monitored in the past.
Berlin demanded "an immediate and comprehensive explanation" from Washington about what it said "would be a serious breach of trust".
In a statement it said: "Among close friends and partners, as the Federal Republic of Germany and the US have been for decades, there should be no such monitoring of the communications of a head of government."
The statement also said that Mrs Merkel had told Mr Obama: "Such practices must be prevented immediately."
The BBC's Steve Evans in Berlin says because the statement was issued after the phone call, there were indications that Mrs Merkel had not been reassured.
He says the issue of state monitoring of phone calls is a real one in Germany - Angela Merkel grew up in East Germany, where phone tapping was pervasive.
President Obama had assured Chancellor Merkel when he visited in June that German citizens were not being spied upon and our correspondent says she was criticised then by political opponents for not being more sceptical.
The German government would not elaborate on how it received the tip about the alleged US spying.
But news magazine Der Spiegel, which has published stories based on material from Edward Snowden, said the information had come from its investigations.
Leaks timeline
Mrs Merkel's call comes a day after US intelligence chief James Clapper denied reports that American spies had recorded data from 70 million phone calls in France in a single 30-day period.
He said a report in Le Monde newspaper had contained "misleading information".
A number of US allies have expressed anger over the Snowden-based spying allegations.
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff cancelled a visit to the US this month in protest at alleged electronic espionage by the NSA against her country, including of communications at her office.
In a speech at the United Nations, she rejected arguments put forward by the US that the interception of information was aimed at protecting nations against terrorism, drugs trafficking and other organised crime.
The Mexican government has called the alleged spying on the emails of two presidents, Enrique Pena Nieto - the incumbent - and Felipe Calderon, as "unacceptable".
US officials have begun a review of American intelligence gathering amid the international outcry.
The pair were sent to the stands in the 11th minute of the first leg at Fratton Park after allegedly using improper language and/or behaviour.

Can you summarize the given article? | Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton, a former senator for New York, is expected to win against Brooklyn-born Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
For the Republicans, Queens-born Donald Trump is likely to come ahead of Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
Wins will put Mrs Clinton and Mr Trump closer to securing their nominations.
They hope big victories in the delegate-rich state will help them regain momentum and overcome criticism over the strength of their campaigns.
It has been a fierce campaign in the state, with the leading candidates using their local ties to attract voters.
Hillary Clinton was twice elected senator for New York, and a defeat there would be a devastating political blow.
Whereas Donald Trump, who was born in the New York City borough of Queens, lives in a building bearing his name in midtown Manhattan.
The primaries are the state's most decisive in decades in selecting the candidates, and polls will be open until 21:00 (01:00 GMT Wednesday)
Mrs Clinton's side sees the vote as a make-or-break moment, and they say a victory there will virtually seal her Democratic nomination.
In the last day of campaigning, she met nurses, stopped at a car wash and ate ice cream while meeting voters. At a gathering in Manhattan, she was joined by her husband, former US President Bill Clinton.
Opinion polls have given her a lead over Mr Sanders, who has won seven out of the last eight state votes.
"We are not taking anything for granted,'' Mrs Clinton said. "Tell your friends and your family, everyone, to please vote tomorrow [Tuesday]."
Mr Sanders hopes a victory in New York will keep his candidacy alive, as there are 291 delegates at stake.
The Democratic campaign has turned increasingly negative, with both candidates trading barbs about their qualifications.
The Clinton campaign has warned her rival that he risks damaging the party's eventual nominee if he keeps up his harsh criticism.
But on the eve of the primary, Mr Sanders accused Hillary Clinton of campaign finance violations, an allegation her team denied.
For Mr Trump, a win in New York will reduce the chances of a contested nomination at the Republican party convention in July.
The big question is whether he will make a clean sweep of all 95 Republican delegates at stake in New York by earning the majority of votes.
Polls have given him a clear lead over Ohio Governor John Kasich and Mr Cruz.
The Texas senator has had a poor performance in New York following an earlier comment in which he accused Mr Trump of having "New York values".
Mr Cruz made a few television appearances on Monday defending his remarks, but was already eyeing voters in Pennsylvania, which votes next week.
In a campaign event in Buffalo, Mr Trump told his supporters that "no New Yorker" could vote for Mr Cruz, who did "not represent what we need.''
But he made a slip-of-the-tongue during a speech about the 11 September 2001 attacks, when he erroneously mentioned the name of a popular convenience store chain.
"It's very close to my heart because I was down there, and I watched our police and our firemen down at 7/11, down at the World Trade Center right after it came down, and I saw the greatest people I've ever seen in action," Mr Trump said.

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | All nine members of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted to keep rates at their record low, where they have now been for over seven years.
The Bank warned uncertainty over the EU referendum could cause "some softening" in growth in the first half of 2016.
It said sterling had also been affected by the uncertainty ahead of the vote.
"There are some signs that uncertainty relating to the EU referendum has begun to weigh on certain areas of activity, as some decisions, including on capital expenditure and commercial property transactions, are being postponed pending the outcome of the vote," policymakers said in their minutes of the meeting.
"This might lead to some softening in growth during the first half of 2016."
The Bank warned that a vote to leave the EU might result in "an extended period of uncertainty about the economic outlook, including about the prospects for export growth".
"This uncertainty would be likely to push down on demand in the short run... (and) have significant implications for asset prices, in particular the exchange rate," it said.
The Bank also said sterling had fallen further over the past month mostly due to uncertainty ahead of the EU referendum, but suggested it may recover if the UK votes to stay in the EU.
Last month, Bank of England governor Mark Carney said the possibility of Britain leaving the EU was the "biggest domestic risk to financial stability".
The Bank's warning comes just days after the International Monetary Fund warned the UK's exit from the European Union could cause "severe regional and global damage".
It said a so-called "Brexit" would disrupt established trading relationships and cause "major challenges" for both the UK and the rest of Europe.
Chris Williamson, chief economist at financial information firm Markit, said the Bank's minutes had brought "fresh signs of how uncertainty regarding the June vote on the UK's membership of the EU was already unsettling business confidence".
"Brexit concerns appear to be exacerbating existing worries about the extent to which UK and global demand remains worryingly fragile.
"It's highly likely, therefore, that the second quarter could see growth slow further, possibly considerably if anxiety about the referendum intensifies, turning the focus to the possible need for more stimulus," he added.
Matthew Elliott, the chief executive of Vote Leave, the main campaign group for a so-called Brexit, said the "safe option" was to vote leave.
"The risk of voting remain is one that even the Bank of England acknowledges. Britain's economic and physical security is put at risk by our membership of a declining political union where we are constantly outvoted and our trade is held back," he said.
Benedict Cumberbatch looks set to marry his fiancee Sophie Hunter over the Valentine's weekend.

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | The number was lower than expected and is a sharp slowdown from December, when 292,000 jobs were added.
Job losses in transport and education weighed on the numbers, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said.
Last week, figures showed that US economic growth slowed to an annual rate 0.7% in the final three months of 2015, from 2% in the previous quarter.
Trading on Wall Street suggests investors are concerned that the slowdown in job creation could be a further sign of a weakening US economy. The main Dow Jones closed down 215 points, or 1.3%, at 16.201.75.
But some analysts focused on the positive - that weaker job numbers meant another rise in interest rates was unlikely for now.
"I'm a little surprised the markets reacted somewhat negatively to it," said Sean Lynch at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute.
"It is actually a pretty good number that should be welcomed by the equity markets, it takes some of the concern the Fed moves too quickly off the table a little bit."
President Obama highlighted the low unemployment rate as he plugged aspects of his spending bill to be proposed next week. He plans to push for greater investment in clean energy, where jobs growth has been strong.
The president acknowledged that there was still anxiety among Americans, but said the US economy was "stronger and more durable" then before the financial crisis.
Retailing saw the highest number of jobs created in January, at 58,000, with healthcare adding 37,000 and manufacturing 29,000.
Some 39,000 jobs were lost in private education services, however, with a further 20,000 lost in transport and warehousing.
The net job creation pushed the unemployment rate below 5% - where it had stood for the previous three months - to its lowest level since early 2008.
The labour participation rate was unchanged, suggesting fewer people are dropping out of the labour market - a key problem during the financial crisis.
The average hourly rate rose by 12 cents, or 0.5%, to $25.39, which Greg Anderson at BMO Capital Markets described as "shockingly good".

Earlier, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras spent the day seeking agreement on the reforms from his government partners.
On Friday, the Greek parliament will vote on Mr Tsipras' proposals. The plan will be then considered by eurozone finance ministers on Saturday, and by EU leaders at a summit in Brussels on Sunday.

Luke Wright kept him company to stumps, reaching 27 not out, a day after giving up the Sussex captaincy.
Worcestershire began the game third in Division Two, with a 100% record this season of four wins out of four - and looking for a seventh straight Championship victory, going back to last season.
Captain Joe Leach removed Nash, Wright's replacement as skipper, when he was caught at mid-wicket. But it was their sole success of the morning, a single-wicket-per-session trend which continued throughout the day.
Finch missed out on a hundred when he edged Josh Tongue to slip and van Zyl was bowled by Ed Barnard after tea, but Wright's first scoring stroke was a six off the latter as he and Wells laid the foundation for a further substantial partnership on day two.
Wells' century was his second in succession at Hove, but his previous knock was an eight-ball second-innings duck against Kent at Canterbury last week.
Worcestershire left out batsman Tom Kohler-Cadmore, in the wake of him turning down the offer of a new three-year deal to move to Yorkshire next season.
Sussex skipper Chris Nash told BBC Radio Sussex:
"It's been a brilliant day. Batting first at Hove is quite tricky so to only lose three wickets has hopefully set the game up for us.
"Luke Wells will get the headlines for his hundred and rightly so. Arguably, he has played better in this innings already than he did when he made 258 against Durham a fortnight ago. He's put us in an amazing position. but I must also give credit to Harry Finch.
"We would probably have had a bowl if there had been a toss. We lined up our team with five seamers and there was enough there in the first session for their bowlers too, so for us to get through only losing one wicket was a really good effort.
Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"We have had some fantastic days in the Championship this season so we were probably due a bad one.
"I couldn't fault the effort but we possibly got the toss wrong. Having said that the ball did dart around early on so you have to give credit to the Sussex batsmen.
"They got through the new ball and then batted really well. Luke Wells is a gritty player who has spells in and out of form like everyone but once he gets in he wants to keep going and can get a big score." | Luke Wells followed last month's 258 against Durham at Hove with an unbeaten 139 to give Sussex the upper hand on day one against Worcestershire. |

Goalkeeper Joe Lewis signed a contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2020 and Aberdeen have also been linked with a move for Scotland midfielder Shaun Maloney, who is currently at Hull City.
Rangers are reportedly interested in midfielder Kenny McLean, but McInnes was adamant that Aberdeen - with financial support from new director Dave Cormack - can look to strengthen the squad rather than sell players.
McInnes rejected the opportunity to succeed David Moyes at Sunderland, and part of that decision-making process was influenced by backing from the Aberdeen directors.
"Part of the assurances I was looking for in staying at Aberdeen was that we wouldn't be selling any more players, certainly in this window," McInnes said.
"It's no real surprise that other clubs have taken our players. Jonny Hayes has brought such a high level of performance to us and he gets to a certain age, then the obvious advantage of going and earning more money, you've got to take that into account.
"When I sign any player, part of the pitch is, 'come here, establish yourself with the potential to move on again'. So I've got to be real and authentic when opportunities come along for my players.
"We're hopeful on a couple [of signing targets] that we've been linked with. We're trying to bring a level of player and Shaun [Maloney] is that type of player.
"There's nothing more to say on Shaun or anything else. We've got to be respectful, a lot of these players are linked to other clubs.
"We've brought one or two good options in already with Greg and Ryan, we'd like to bring a centre-back in, a different type of striker and we'll probably look at the wider areas of the pitch."
McInnes also confirmed that youth prospect Terry Taylor wants to join Wolverhampton Wanderers, with the two clubs close to agreeing terms for the player's development compensation fee.

Another week, another city, another dead black man, another grand jury and another white policeman not indicted. Oh, and another new chant.
Ten days ago in Ferguson, Missouri, it was "hands up don't shoot" after an unarmed black teenager was gunned down because according to some he had his arms up.
In New York it was "I can't breathe, I can't breathe" after the horrible video was released of Eric Garner speaking his final words, as this 350lb giant of a man was held in an apparent chokehold by an NYPD officer.
Now if the defence of Darren Wilson, the police officer in Ferguson, tested the credulity of the African American community - that he felt his life was in danger from Michael Brown - what possible justification can be offered for Daniel Pantaleo's deadly grip on Eric Garner in Staten Island?
The mobile footage somehow contrives to show the utter banality of this death. This was no high-speed car chase, shoot-out death. This was an amiable-looking black guy on a summer's day, standing, talking to a bunch of policemen in shorts - in shorts for goodness sake! - refusing to comply with their orders but hardly posing a threat either.
Anyway, no need to describe it further as I am sure that anyone reading this has already seen the video and its unhappy denouement.
But unlike in Ferguson where it seemed the federal government was not quite sure what to do initially - aside from appealing for calm - this time they were quick out of the blocks.
US Attorney General Eric Holder went on TV to announce that federal prosecutors would look at whether Mr Garner's civil rights had been infringed. In other words, Mr Pantaleo could still be prosecuted.
As a way of defusing tension, it was probably a very smart move. There was no repeat of the looting and rioting that came after the Michael Brown decision. Politically it was astute.
But will the federal government in Washington succeed in bringing an indictment where a Staten Island grand jury failed? That's the key question now
And the evidence is far from clear. I remember a senior British politician who in a previous life had been an eminent lawyer telling me you don't win a case just because something looks really, really bad.
While anyone looking at the video of the chokehold has probably a very clear view of how bad it was, that doesn't mean it's an open and shut case legally.
There will be minute examination of the judgements made during the arrest. Did Mr Garner offer any resistance; how much pressure was applied in the neck hold? Was it unreasonable force? Was the inability to breathe because of Mr Garner's asthma rather than the force of the hold? Did Officer Pantaleo try to resuscitate him?
Will prosecutors be able to demonstrate wilfulness on the part of the officer, the high standard of intent required by the Supreme Court.
Of course it is being stressed by the justice department that the federal investigation would be fair, thorough and expeditious. But the will of the politicians is clear - they want a prosecution.
Otherwise the conclusion will be that a man can be choked to death on a street in New York in plain view, with video evidence - with no consequence.

Outside my Wall Street hotel last night, the taxi drivers were somewhat uncharacteristically turning business down. |
Summarize the information in the following section. | This time the issue is school meals - and specifically the question of whether town authorities should be obliged to offer Muslim children an alternative to pork, whenever pork appears on the menu.
In some countries, that might seem a no-brainer.
"Why not?" would be a more likely interrogation.
In France, it is not as simple as that. Here, there is a very strong and broadly accepted answer to the question, "Why not?".
Which is this: that in France there is an agreed and rooted way of life, one of whose hallmarks is the banishment of any whiff of faith or creed from the institutions of public life.
This is not just a whimsy dreamed up to inconvenience modern-day believers.
It is a central tenet of the French social contract that dates back more than 100 years.
So the issue today is not whether this code of "laicite" is right or wrong.
In practice, everyone from the Front National to the far-left, thinks it is a vital part of France's political heritage.
The issue is whether that heritage should be exercised with the blind uncompromising rigour of the past.
Or whether new circumstances - such as a population of many millions of Muslims - require a new flexibility.
As so often in France, it is principle versus pragmatism.
And this being France, pragmatism is not necessarily the favourite to win.
The latest row has erupted over a decision by the Burgundy town of Chalon-sur-Saone to end the practice of so-called "substitute meals".
For 30 years, the town's schools - like most schools in France - have provided an alternative menu for Muslim (and the far fewer Jewish) children on the occasional days when the meat part of the lunch is from the pig.
But abruptly last month - at the start of this school year - the centre-right mayor Gilles Platret decided that this was to end.
The reason he gives is a sound invocation of the country's long-standing secular values.
"What we are doing is simple: we are leaving religion at the school-gate," he says.
By stopping special meals for Muslims, "we no longer file people under religious faith; we no longer group people together according to diet."
For Platret - and those who think like him - the ban is not a mean-minded attack on a minority, but a positive step toward restoring strict neutrality.
The target is not the Muslim community, but the anti-French notion of "le communautarisme" - the breaking up of society into separate bits, in the way that many French think that the UK has suffered from "multiculturalism".
If children do not want to eat pork, says Platret, then they can fill up on starters and vegetables; they can arrange their own packed lunches; or they can go home.
If parents are really concerned, they can send their children to Muslim schools in the private sector.
He also notes that even when pork is not on the menu, many Muslim children are under instructions from parents not to touch meat of any kind because in French schools it is generally not halal.
So, he says, the fuss against what he has done is somewhat artificial.
However, the opposing view holds that what Platret has done at Chalon-sur-Saone is unnecessary, inflammatory and politically motivated.
The Socialist government accuses the mayor of "talking Muslim children hostage".
Essentially Laicite means that there is a complete separation between the state and religious affairs. The concept was enshrined in French law in 1905.
The French state and government can take no position on any religion or religious belief, and should not get involved in the religious life of its citizens.
State officials can only speak about religious beliefs if they are considering the practical impact on citizens.
In theory, it also means that religion cannot interfere in the functioning of government.
Laicite has led to the widespread feeling in France that public expression of religious belief is distasteful - essentially religion is something you practise in private.
Removing the possibility of a "non-confessional" menu - according to Education Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem - "is tantamount to barring access to the canteen" because many Muslim children will be told by their parents to stay away.
The left sees in the initiative a clear bid by Les Republicains (Nicolas Sarkozy's former UMP) to grab votes from the surging Front National.
It is hard not to agree.
Sarkozy is building his bid for the 2017 presidential election, and knows there is a huge pool of votes lying to his right. (Though oddly, the FN's Marine Le Pen seems more relaxed about the issue than he does).
Sarkozy has openly aligned himself with Platret's initiative - to the point where many on the left suspect the mayor is in fact doing Sarkozy's bidding.
Critics say the ban on substitute meals is not secularism in action, but an "instrumentalisation of secularism".
For Nicolas Cadene, who heads the government's Observatoire de la Laicite: "The purpose of secularism is not to erase all distinctions in society."
Cadene says there has been no groundswell of opinion in France calling for the removal of substitute non-pork meals - which leads him to believe that what has happened in Chalon-sur-Saone is indeed a politically motivated distraction.
The answer, he says, is perfectly simple: offer more choice.
It is, after all, what most canteens do anyway with the growth of self-service.
So why make an argument about religion when there does not need to be one?
It is the pragmatic response to a prickly subject, which may yet win the day. | France is going through one of its periodic bouts of "secularitis" - that disease of the national soul whose symptom is loud and prolonged agonising over the encroachments of religion. |

Iain Cameron, from Stirling, spends his spare time monitoring snow levels in Scotland from one winter to the next, and has spent the past 22 years travelling the country in pursuit of his curious hobby.
While walking on Scotland's highest mountain with fellow amateur researcher Alistair Todd in July, the pair happened upon an unusual natural phenomenon - a snow tunnel.
"They are caused by water which burrows through the snow drift initially, creating a little tunnel," Mr Cameron said.
"Then wind begins to blow through the space and starts to expand the tunnel.
"They begin as a couple of feet wide and get larger as the warmer air begins to eat away at the snow and melt it."
He added: "The further into summer we get, the bigger the tunnels get. You're eventually able to walk through them, like I did in these photographs."
The tunnels are not a new discovery, but Mr Cameron said they only occur in specific areas where snow lasts into the summer months.
He said: "There are very few places in Scotland you get these tunnels, but they tend to form in the same places pretty much every year and at the same time."
"We don't actively look for the tunnels, they're just a bonus."
Despite Mr Cameron's snow-exploring experience, he still gets a little anxious.
"It's very weird to think that there are hundreds or even thousands of tons of snow above your head. It can be quite disconcerting but we're very sensible and take precautions," he said.
"It's a surreal experience, being inside the tunnels. Some of them are completely jaw-dropping."
He plans to return to Ben Nevis in August when he said he expected the tunnels to be "even bigger and better".
As summer turns to autumn, the tunnels continue to expand before finally collapsing.
Mr Cameron said: "After August, the tunnels will eventually become 'bridges' as they continue to expand. The snow is being melted from below, by the wind, and also from above, from the sunlight.
"The snow gets thinner and thinner and eventually collapses, and melts."
When snowfall begins again later in the year, the cycle is reborn.
Mr Cameron's research involves monitoring patches of snow across the country, taking pictures and measuring them.
His findings are then put into reports which are published by the Royal Meteorological Society.
Last year, he recorded the most surviving patches of snow in more than 20 years, but Mr Cameron insists he is no expert.

Please summarize the document below. | The park reopened in a blaze of publicity in 2015 after an £18m restoration but operator Sands Heritage went into administration on Friday.
Thanet council leader Chris Wells said they had failed to produce the volume of people they had hoped for.
Administrator Duff and Phelps said it was looking for a new operator.
It said Dreamland would remain open and continue to operate as normal.
"They just have not produced the volume of people coming through that they would have hoped and predicted," said the council leader.
"The operators have, in effect, told us that they are not creating enough cash flow."
Despite the setback, Mr Wells said administrators were "very confident" Dreamland had a future as an ongoing business.
Sands avoided administration in December under a company voluntary arrangement (CVA), which gave it five years to repay nearly £3m of debts.
The council, which is owed £50,000, is among the creditors. It has also invested another £900,000 in the site, for which it is the leaseholder.
Duff and Phelps was also the administrator for Fantasy Island in Skegness, which went into administration in 2014 and was earlier this year sold to Leisure company the Mellors Group - which also owns a theme park in Dubai.
Mr Wells said he hoped going into administration was "the beginning of the beginning" rather than the end for Dreamland.
"The park has a very fine future and will continue to trade throughout this summer," he said.
But former Thanet councillor Ian Driver said he feared it might close.
"It would be a tragedy to come back here in two months' time to find it boarded up and non-operational," he said.
"I think if the council doesn't get its finger out that's the situation we could easily be in."

Lord Wigley dismissed claims housing pressures were because of immigration in a heated BBC Radio Wales debate on the EU referendum on Wednesday.
But UKIP MEP and AM Nathan Gill said immigration was the "number one issue" brought up on doors and in the street.

Write a summary of this document. | London Mayor Boris Johnson authorised the Metropolitan Police to buy three second-hand water cannon from German police last year at a cost of £218,000.
But Theresa May said "without safeguards" water cannon had "the capacity to cause harm".
She said she was concerned about the risk of injury, as well as their impact on public perceptions of the police.
Water cannon are used in Northern Ireland, but have never been deployed in the rest of the UK.
They were deployed most recently in north Belfast on Monday against Loyalist demonstrators during the annual Twelfth of July celebrations.
Mrs May said the decision on whether to authorise water cannon was a "serious" one and a lengthy study had been carried out to assess their safety and effectiveness,
"Without safeguards they have the capacity to cause harm," she told the Commons.
She said she had decided against granting a licence for a number of reasons, including concerns about the risk of injury they posed to those struck by them.
She also said she "remained unconvinced" about "the operability" of the particular water cannon purchased by the Met, which she said were 25 years old.
Finally, she said she was concerned about the "potential impact of water cannon on public perceptions of police legitimacy".
Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper welcomed the decision.
But a source close to Mr Johnson told the BBC he was "disappointed".

Can you summarize the given article? | The firm says the MacBook Pro's Touch Bar provides software-specific commands that are more "intuitive" to use than the function keys it replaces.
The announcement was not a surprise, however, because of an earlier leak.
Apple had not updated its MacBook Pro laptops since May 2015. Its MacBook Air models were two months older still.
That has impacted sales. Earlier this week Apple revealed that it had sold 10% fewer Macs in the year ending 24 September than over the prior 12 months.
Researchers suggest the wider PC market has also shrunk, but to a lesser extent.
"The lack of updates was part of the problem, but it's also the case that the competition has got a lot stronger," commented Roberta Cozza from the tech consultancy Gartner.
"Over the past year we've seen more interest from both business customers and consumers in Windows 10 computers, which have benefited from both the new operating system as well as better designs and better pricing from their manufacturers.
"For some time, Apple's main focus has been the iPhone - which accounts for much of its revenue - and making the iPad a better productive tool. But there are still many users who want PC-grade performance, and they needed this Mac refresh."
There was no update to the MacBook or MacBook Air laptops, nor to the firm's iMac or Mac Pro desktop PCs.
Source: Gartner
The figures include desktops and laptops - including hybrid models with detachable touchscreens - but not dedicated tablets such as the iPad Pro
Apple's software chief Craig Federighi gave several examples of how the new Touch Bar could be used, including ways to:
The innovation helps address the fact the laptops' main displays are not touchscreens and cannot be used with a stylus, as is the case with many Windows 10 PCs as well as Apple's iPad Pro.
"It works as a miniature tablet built into the keyboard, allowing users to seamlessly move between keys and a much more nuanced touch interface without lifting a hand," commented Rhoda Alexander from the tech consultancy IHS Markit.
"By contrast, the beauty of a stylus is that it allows you to bring the fluidity of pen input across a myriad of applications, without having to use a particular graphics program to support it.
"The Touch Bar approach may lack some of the fluidity of the stylus solution but offsets that with convenience, the ability to seamlessly blend key functionality and touch input."
Apple did deliver innovation. The Touch Bar is a smart way of giving users a new interface with their computers while differentiating the MacBook Pro from the touchscreen iPad.
But it took 90 minutes to unveil a new and rather limited TV app and an upgrade, albeit a significant one, to just one computer.
Apple surely needs to quicken the pace of innovation if it is to prove that Mac is still cooler than PC.

The new Touch ID fingerprint sensor is designed to be used as a way to authenticate payments as well as to quickly switch between different users' accounts.
Apple also said the new 13in and 15in MacBook Pro laptops were thinner and lighter than before, and featured bigger trackpads.
New processors will improve handling of 3D graphics and both versions of the machines now feature four Thunderbolt 3 ports - into which USB-C cables can be plugged.
But there are no longer separate power, HDMI, SD card or USB 3 ports, meaning many users will need adapters to use old peripherals.
Apple did not, however, remove the audio jack, as was the case with the iPhone 7.
The Touch Bar-enabled 13in MacBook Pro will start at $1,799 and the 15in version at $2,399.

Apple also revealed a new app for its TV set-top box, iPhone and iPad, which is simply called TV.
It brings together pre-recorded programmes and movies - available for free or purchase - from a variety of third-party services as well as Apple's own iTunes store.
It is designed to provide an easier way for users to keep track of content they are already part way through viewing as well as discovering new show via recommendations from the firm's team of curators.
The idea is to save the user having to click in and out of other apps searching for content.
But the on-stage demo made no mention of Netflix being included, and it has only been announced for launch in the US at this point.
Tim Cook also revealed that Microsoft's popular video game Minecraft would be coming to the Apple TV before the end of the year.

However, the firm opted not to release a new version of the hardware to support 4K resolution video, as had been rumoured, putting it at a disadvantage to rivals including Amazon Fire TV and Roku.
Apple released the last version of its top-end desktop computer way back on 19 December 2013, but opted not to update it at its latest event.
The "trash can" was targeted at video editors, 3D graphics artists, engineers and other professionals who wanted a powerful workstation.
But three years is a very long time to go without a refresh, and a lot has happened in both tech and beyond in the interim.

Summarize the following excerpt. | Gardaí (Irish police) were called to a property on South Circular Road at about 15:45 local time on Tuesday.
They found an injured man in his 20s outside on the pavement and when they entered the flat found the body of a man.
The wounded man was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Police said they were now looking for a third man.
He is described as being in his 20s and was wearing a black top which may have had bloodstains on it.
The court in the city of Yekaterinburg found Ruslan Sokolovsky guilty of insulting religious believers and inciting hatred.
During the trial, Sokolovsky, now aged 22, had pleaded not guilty.
He filmed himself playing the popular game in the local Orthodox church in August 2016.
He was arrested shortly afterwards.
On Thursday, Sokolovsky was also found guilty of "illegal trafficking of special technical equipment" after a pen with a built-in video camera had been discovered during the search of his home.
During the trial, the prosecution had asked for Sokolovsky to be jailed for three-and-a-half years.
After the verdict was announced, the blogger said he was relieved.
"Until the very last moment I didn't know what the sentencing would be, that's why I was very nervous and feared I would get a real prison term," he told BBC Russian.
He said he had already apologised to religious believers, adding that the way he delivered his video was "too cynical for Russian society".
Sokolovsky also said he would consult his lawyers about whether he should appeal against the verdict.
The video from the church built in remembrance of Tsar Nicholas II and his family was posted by Sokolovsky in August 2016, quickly attracting many viewers.
It was published apparently in response to warnings that playing such games in church might have legal consequences.
In the video, Sokolovsky - just before going inside the church - is seen saying that the risk of being arrested is "complete nonsense".
"Who could get offended if you're just walking around with your smartphone in a church?"
It's an augmented reality game on smartphones, which uses GPS.

Pokemon Go: All you need to know
Oh, take your pick...
An American woman found a body while she was looking for a Pokemon in a river near her home. Police said the man had died within the last 24 hours and no foul play was suspected.
Four people were arrested in Missouri after they used the game to lure players to remote places and then rob them at gunpoint. In response, the makers of Pokemon Go have said people should "play with friends when going to new or unfamiliar places" and "remember to be safe and alert at all times".
The anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church in the US is the location of a gym in the game, and players planted a pink "Clefairy" Pokemon called Love is Love there. The church has responded with a series of social media posts calling the Pokemon a sodomite.
There have also been plenty of reports of people falling over and grazing or cutting themselves because they're not paying attention to what's in front of them while they play. | Police investigating the discovery of a man's body in a flat in south Dublin are looking for a man who was seen leaving the area.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | The council said an external supplier who prints and posts the bills had taken "full responsibility" for the error.
Neither the tax payer nor the council would pay for the extra postage, it said.
The authority said it was investigating how many duplicate bills had been sent out.
Read more on this story as it develops throughout the day on our Local Live pages
Geoff Brown, the council's Cabinet member for Communities, said: "We will continue to liaise with the company over this error but in the meantime please be reassured that residents and businesses are only being billed once, so please ignore any duplicate bills received."
The money will help to provide accommodation, employment and skills training for women fleeing violence.
Local authorities will be able to bid for a share of the money, which is the first part of an overall £40m investment package.
Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said the boost will mean "no victim is turned away" from essential support.
As part of the plans, new guidelines will be published which set out how local authorities should respond to domestic abuse.
The government said this will focus on "putting the victim first, providing flexible services that meet their needs, collaborating with other councils to open up services to victims from outside the local area and responding to the needs of diverse groups".
It would also require setting up "accountable local leadership" for services and a system of "independent scrutiny".
In a statement announcing the plans, Mr Javid said: "Domestic abuse can happen to anyone, at any time, which is why our £20m fund is designed to ensure no victim is turned away from the essential support they need.
"It will address the needs of diverse and isolated communities and boost refuge spaces, as part of a country that works for everyone and not just the privileged few".
As well as being the first wave of £40m in support for domestic abuse victims outlined in the 2015 Spending Review, the money is also part of the government's wider £80m Violence Against Women and Girls strategy.
Funding will only be available for local areas which are collaborating with other councils and external domestic violence services, the government's launch document states, because "domestic abuse cannot be addressed by one agency alone".
The fund is open to applications from local authorities until 17:00 GMT on 2 December.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) study found that a fleet of 3,000 four-passenger taxis could do the same job as the current fleet of 13,000 yellow cabs in New York City.
But it would mean that people would have to travel with strangers.
The study was based on data from 3 million taxi rides.
Most experts looking at our urban future agree that there is a real need to do something about congestion.
Studies suggest that globally people waste 7 billion hours each year sitting in traffic and the effects on the environment are also severe - with cars in traffic burning an extra 3 billion gallons of fuel.
"Instead of transporting people one at a time, drivers could transport two to four people at once, resulting in fewer trips, in less time, to make the same amount of money," writes Prof Daniela Rus from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab.
The team developed an algorithm that could reroute cars based on real-time requests.
"A system like this could allow drivers to work shorter shifts, while also creating less traffic, cleaner air and shorter, less stressful commutes," said Prof Rus.
Such a system would be particularly suited to autonomous cars, she added.
Ride-sharing schemes are growing in popularity, with well-established firms such as Uber and Lyft leading the way. According to Lyft, 50% of rides taken in San Francisco in 2015 were shared.
There are also lots of new options on the scene, such as DriveNow, a car-sharing service operated by BMW, which has around 200,000 customers in Berlin, or a pilot from Toyota that was recently launched in Dublin.
Not all succeed - Car2Go recently announced that it was discontinuing services in Stockholm, a city keen to promote alternative modes of transport and cut pollution, due to lack of demand. | Cornwall Council has apologised after some people received more than one copy of their council tax bill.

Midfielder Janko, 19, has yet to make a senior appearance for United.
Last week, defender Sadiq El Fitouri, 20, joined the Premier League side from Evo-Stik First Division Salford City.
Kellett came through Bolton's academy and only made his senior debut for Wanderers last year.
He joined Plymouth in October, scoring one goal in 15 appearances for the Devon club.
Kellett is United's third signing of the January transfer window, following moves for El Fitouri and former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes.
"A series of loans have reduced the options available to Manchester United Under-21 boss Warren Joyce. So when the decision was made to let 19-year-old Swiss youngster Saidy Janko compete for a first-team place at Bolton for the remainder of the season, Joyce needed his squad replenishing.

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Launching the Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Analytics, Cardiff University and Airbus said it was the first of its kind in Europe.
Their research will aim to protect corporate IT networks, intellectual property and critical national infrastructure.
The university has also been awarded almost £2m, aimed at developing a machine to detect cyber threats.
The centre will be located at the university's School of Computer Science and Informatics.
Together with experts from Airbus, researchers will carry out studies into machine learning, data analytics and artificial intelligence for cyber-attack detection.
The centre will also develop academic programmes in cyber security, in an attempt "to fill the skills gap that currently exists in the field".
Dr Pete Burnap from the university, the centre's director, said: "Cyber security analytics is about improving our resilience to cyber-attacks through data modelling to detect and block malicious behaviour before it causes its full impact.
"But [it's] also about understanding what motivates the behaviour, what its likely impact will be, and how to communicate security alerts among decision and policy-makers."
Dr Kevin Jones, head of cyber security innovation at Airbus, said collaborating with universities was "a key approach in the future protection of critical systems".
He said the centre would enable the rapid transfer of research into operational activities and ensure researchers are able to access the latest techniques and data.
In March, the National Cyber Security Centre's Cardiff-born director of operations said Wales was well placed to take advantage of the growing industry in tackling online crime.
A National Software Academy has already been established in Newport to train the next generation of experts, while the Welsh Government wants to make south east Wales a hub for the industry.
Engineer Technician Charles Warrender, 23, from North Thoresby, Lincolnshire, was found dead in the capital Victoria on Saturday morning.
He was serving on Portsmouth-based ship HMS Richmond, which is part of Operation Kipion in the Indian Ocean.
A navy spokesman said next of kin had been informed but declined to comment further while inquiries continued.
Mr Warrender, whose body was discovered behind the national library, had been living in Portsmouth.
HMS Richmond, a Type 23 frigate, had hosted a reception on board for British High Commissioner Lindsay Skoll last Friday to mark the Queen's birthday.
A statement from Mr Warrender's family said: "Charlie was a charismatic and loving young man, who made everyone who met him smile.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | The renowned photographer and film maker died peacefully at his home on Friday, according to his picture agency Camera Press.
Lord Snowdon married Princess Margaret on 6 May 1960 but they separated after 16 years of marriage and the divorce was finalised in 1978.
Buckingham Palace said the Queen had been informed.
Snowdon, born Antony Armstrong-Jones, photographed famous faces including Diana, Princess of Wales, Jack Nicholson, Elizabeth Taylor and David Bowie during his career.
He also worked in design, co-creating an aviary for London Zoo and inventing an electric wheelchair.
He was married twice, to Princess Margaret for 18 years and to BBC researcher Lucy Mary Lindsay-Hogg between 1978 to 2000.
Lord Snowdon was a talented film maker and photographer whose marriage to Princess Margaret fed the gossip columns for more than a decade.
His career was punctuated by lurid tales of extra-marital affairs, alcohol and drugs, but throughout it all he maintained a close contact with the Royal Family.
His body of photographic work featured the cream of British society, although he was usually dismissive about his work.
He was most proud of the stunning aviary he helped design for London Zoo.
He was born on 7 March 1930 into a family of minor gentry.

BBC royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell said the Queen was "saddened" by the news of his death. He added that Lord Snowdon had been ill for some time.
The Snowdon Trust, the charity that gives grants to disabled students founded by Snowdon in 1981, said its thoughts were with his family.
"He helped change attitudes towards disability and campaigned tirelessly against discrimination," it said.
Snowdon was the son of barrister Ronald Armstrong-Jones QC and Anne Messel, who went on to become the Countess of Rosse.
He was educated at Sandroyd School, Salisbury, and then Eton, before heading to Jesus College, Cambridge, to study natural history. He switched to architecture after only 10 days but he eventually embarked on a career as a photographer after failing his second year exams.
During his career he also photographed actors and actresses for theatre publicity shots, including Laurence Olivier and Marlene Dietrich. | Lord Snowdon, Princess Margaret's former husband, has died aged 86, a family spokesperson has said. |
Summarize the information in the following document. | Six artists have been selected to enter the Rock Hall, including folk star Joan Baez and grunge act Pearl Jam.
Tupac Shakur will be only the fifth hip-hop artist recognised, after the likes of Run DMC and Public Enemy.
The Grammys will honour art-rock band Velvet Underground and funk legend Sly Stone with their special merit awards.
In a statement, the Recording Academy said the Velvet Underground, whose career was masterminded by Andy Warhol, were "ahead of their time, both visually and sonically".
"Despite a relatively brief lifespan and limited commercial success, the Velvet Underground are now recognised as one of the most influential rock bands of all time," it added.
Stone, who was the lead singer in Sly and the Family Stone, was praised by the Academy for playing "a critical role in the development of soul, funk, rock, and psychedelia".
Other recipients include gospel singer Shirley Caesar, jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal, guitarist Charley Pride, country star Jimmie Rodgers and jazz legend Nina Simone.
The singer and pianist, who died in 2003, became famous in the 1950s and is known for classic songs including Feeling Good and I Put a Spell on You.
Her haunting interpretation of Strange Fruit, a 1937 poem about the lynching of African Americans in the Southern United States, became an anthem for the civil rights movement.
The musicians will be celebrated in February as part of the festivities in the run up to the Grammy Awards.
Recording Academy president Neil Portnow said: "This year's special merit award recipients comprise a prestigious group of diverse and influential creators who have crafted or contributed to some of the most distinctive recordings in music history."
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which is arguably the more prestigious honour, is voted for by 900 historians, members of the music industry and artists, including every living Rock Hall inductee.
Artists become eligible 25 years after the release of their first album or single. 2017 is the first year Pearl Jam and Tupac Shakur were eligible. They are also the first artists to join the institution who started their careers in the 1990s.
British prog rock band Yes, on the other hand, have been eligible for 26 years.
"It's a bit like waiting for a train," guitarist Steve Howe told Rolling Stone. "Maybe it's on time and you just noticed waiting. I don't regret the wait. I just feel this must be the right time."
Joan Baez said she was taken aback by the honour.
"I never considered myself to be a rock and roll artist," she said in a statement, "But as part of the folk music boom which contributed to and influenced the rock revolution of the Sixties, I am proud that some of the songs I sang made their way into the rock lexicon."
Don't Stop Believing hitmakers Journey will also be inducted to the Rock Hall, while Nile Rodgers will receive a special award - after his disco-era band Chic failed to make the cut after its 11th nomination.
Other who lost out on a place this year include Chaka Khan (nominated three times), Janet Jackson (twice) and Depeche Mode (once).

Summarize the information in the following document. | The child, whose identity is being protected, was given a burst of treatment shortly after birth.
They have since been off drugs for eight-and-a-half years without symptoms or signs of active virus.
The family is said to be "really delighted".
Most people need treatment every day to prevent HIV destroying the immune system and causing Aids.
Understanding how the child is protected could lead to new drugs or a vaccine for stopping HIV.
The child caught the infection from their mother around the time of birth in 2007. They had very high levels of HIV in the blood.
Early antiretroviral therapy was not standard practice at the time, but was given to the child from nine weeks old as part of a clinical trial.
Levels of the virus became undetectable, treatment was stopped after 40 weeks and unlike anybody else on the study - the virus has not returned.
Early therapy which attacks the virus before it has a chance to fully establish itself has been implicated in child "cure" cases twice before.
The "Mississippi Baby" was put on treatment within 30 hours of birth and went 27 months without treatment before HIV re-emerged in her blood.
There was also a case in France with a patient who has now gone more than 11 years without drugs.
Dr Avy Violari, the head of paediatric research at the Perinal HIV Research Unit in Johannesburg, said: "We don't believe that antiretroviral therapy alone can lead to remission.
"We don't really know what's the reason why this child has achieved remission - we believe it's either genetic or immune system-related."
Some people are naturally better at dealing with an HIV infection - so-called "elite controllers". However, whatever the child has is different to anything that has been seen before.
Replicating it as a new form of therapy - a drug, antibody or vaccine - would have the potential to help other patients.
It is worth noting that while there is no active HIV in the child's body, the virus has been detected in the child's immune cells.
HIV can hide inside them - called latent HIV - for long periods of time, so there is still a danger the child could need drug treatment in the future.
The team in Johannesburg performed the study alongside the UK's MRC Clinical Trials Unit.
Prof Diana Gibb, who is based in London, told the BBC News website: "It captures the imagination because you've got a virtual cure and it is exciting to see cases like this.
"But it is important to remember it is one child.
"HIV is still a massive problem around the world and we mustn't put all our eyes on to one phenomenon like this, as opposed to looking at the bigger issues for Africa."
Worldwide, 36.7 million people are living with HIV and only 53% of them are receiving antiretroviral therapy.
Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said: "Further study is needed to learn how to induce long-term HIV remission in infected babies.
"However, this new case strengthens our hope that by treating HIV-infected children for a brief period beginning in infancy, we may be able to spare them the burden of lifelong therapy and the health consequences of long-term immune activation typically associated with HIV disease."
The results are being presented at the IAS Conference on HIV Science.

Manning struggled to hold back tears as he confirmed the news at a media conference in Denver on Monday.
He said: "I fought a good fight. I finished my football race. After 18 years it is time."
Manning, who turns 40 on 24 March, played his last game when he helped the Broncos win the Super Bowl in February.
It was his second Super Bowl win, the first coming in 2007 during a 14-year spell with the Indianapolis Colts.

One of the game's most prolific passers, he was voted the NFL's most valuable player a record five times.
Manning retires as the NFL's all-time leader in passing touchdowns (539), passing yards (71,940) and quarterback wins (186, tied with Brett Favre).
His teams made the play-offs in 15 of his 18 seasons.
"You don't have to wonder if I will miss it. Absolutely I will," Manning added.
"There are players who were more talented - but none could out prepare me. I have no regrets."
One of his biggest rivals, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, said Manning "set the standard for how to play the quarterback position".
He told Sports Illustrated: "What just happened, winning the Super Bowl in his last game, is a perfect way to end a career. But what he's accomplished through all these years, what makes it so admirable, is the pressure he's had on him his whole life.
"Who has lived up to the expectations year after year after year as well as Peyton? He's done it so gracefully, so admirably."
Recently, Manning has also faced controversy. Before this year's Super Bowl, the NFL began an investigation into allegations that banned substance human growth hormone was sent to his house when he was recovering from neck surgery in 2011.
He has described the allegations, made by broadcaster Al Jazeera, as "complete garbage".
During his retirement news conference, he also denied allegations of sexual misconduct stemming from his college playing days at Tennessee.
"I did not do what has been alleged and I am not interested in re-litigating something that happened when I was 19," he said.
In defeating the Carolina Panthers on 7 February, Manning became the oldest quarterback to win the showpiece event - and the first starting quarterback to win it with two different teams.
It had been rumoured the surprise 24-10 victory would be his last game, but he said afterwards he would "take time to reflect". | Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has announced his retirement, ending a sparkling 18-year career in the NFL. |
Give a concise summary of the passage below. | An art expert spotted Arab in Black, by Irma Stern, being used as a kitchen notice board in the UK capital.
The work was sold for charity to raise funds for Mr Mandela and other anti-apartheid activists in their treason trial, which ran from 1956 until 1961.
It is due to be auctioned in September.
"I spotted this masterpiece hanging in the kitchen covered in letters, postcards and bills," said Hannah O'Leary, a specialist in South African art at Bonhams auction house in London.
"It was a hugely exciting find even before I learned of its political significance."
It is thought that the current owner was given the painting by their parents, and brought it to the UK in the 1970s.
Mr Mandela and the other defendants were found not guilty in 1961 - but three years later he was sentenced to life in prison for committing acts of sabotage.
He spent 27 years in jail before becoming South Africa's first black, democratically elected president in 1994 - ending years of white-minority rule.
Ms Stern died in 1966, and her home in Cape Town has been converted into a museum. | A painting by one of South Africa's leading artists, auctioned to help fund Nelson Mandela's legal defence in the 1960s, has been rediscovered at a flat in London and valued at $1.5m (£1m). |

The Wiltshire Trail Riders Fellowship (TRF) said it was "appalled at the trap" which "beggared belief".
Wiltshire Council said it was extremely concerned at the potential for injury and damage the trap could have caused.
A spokesman said anyone using the track, whether on foot, as a horse rider, or in any vehicle, had a legal right to do so.
"We deplore any deliberate attempt to obstruct the byway or to endanger anyone using it," he said.
"If this has been done deliberately [we ask that] the person responsible considers the potential consequences of their actions and does not repeat the offence."
In a posting on Facebook, the Wiltshire TRF said this kind of trap, found on the track between Tilshead and Westdown artillery range, could cause "terrible injury to pedestrians, horses and dogs".
"The intended damage to vehicle tyres is minor by comparison," the posting added.
And the British Horse Society said the presence of such a trap in any location was "extremely concerning" .
Spokesman Mark Weston said as well as doing untold damage to any human, it could have caused serious injury and unimaginable pain to a horse.

Two wickets in two balls from ex-Glamorgan loan paceman Andy Carter with the new ball helped Derbyshire keep them in check.
Earlier seamer Tony Palladino had claimed the first three wickets to fall.
Bragg's patient knock took 217 balls and included 15 boundaries, before falling lbw to Wes Durston under the floodlights late in the day.
Glamorgan left out wicket-keeper Mark Wallace from a championship side through choice for the first time since 2001.
Derbyshire brought Palladino and spinner Matt Critchley into their side after their bowling struggles against Gloucestershire.
Glamorgan batsman Will Bragg told BBC Wales Sport: "Early on it's just nice to get through and see the new ball off, get past thirty and knuckle down. I didn't look at the scoreboard much, just play my own game in my own little bubble.
"I'm a bit disappointed with the circumstances I got out, but overall I'm happy though 129 isn't that great a score (as a career-best)."
"It's nice to bat at three in the early part of the season, you get more chance to get yourself in when the ball's a bit older and the openers did a good job today.

Alexander Donnelly, 60, is serving a 10 year prison sentence after directing others in a £200,000 heroin supply operation.
At a brief confiscation hearing, the High Court in Edinburgh heard that a settlement had been reached.
It was told that Donnelly made £82,000 from his criminal conduct and it made a confiscation order of £52,785.
The figure included £22,970 recovered during a police operation.
Donnelly was previously made the subject of a confiscation order in 1997 which, at the time, was the largest ever made in Scotland.
He was then ordered to hand over £270,000.
The order was made a year after he was jailed for 54 months for heroin dealing.
In 2006 was imprisoned for 10 years for his role in a cocaine gang.
And Donnelly returned to crime in 2011, shortly after being freed from prison.
He later admitted directing serious organised crime during a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow in 2014.
He was made the subject of a reporting order requiring him to inform police of financial details.
Jonathan Dowdall, 40, and his 60-year-old father, Patrick, of Navan Road in Dublin, admitted falsely imprisoning and threatening to kill a man in January 2015.
Videos played in court show them interrogating, threatening and waterboarding the victim, who came to the house to buy a motorcycle.
The victim said he was tortured to the point of "death's door".
The hearing took place at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin on Friday.
The victim is seen tied to a chair in the Dowdalls' garage as Jonathan Dowdall, who was wearing a balaclava, put a tea towel on his face and poured buckets of water over him.
Patrick Dowdall took out pliers and threatened to pull off the victim's fingers, starting with the smallest.
The victim is heard pleading for his life as the Dowdalls threatened to chop him up and feed him to the dogs.
He was tied with cable ties and told "one more twist and you're dead".
The court heard that he was also told he was "stupid" and "dumb" to mess with the IRA" and that Jonathan Dowdall was a good friend of Gerry Adams and Mary Lou McDonald.
The court also heard the victim was a convicted fraudster.
Defence counsel said Jonathan Dowdall had searched the internet and discovered the victim had paid a man for a car with a bounced cheque.
He said he was under huge pressure and as a businessman his whole life was built on his credit rating.
He said he wanted to frighten the victim not to use his bank details but now realised he was totally wrong and is sorry.
In a statement, the victim said the psychological injuries will never completely heal.
Sentencing will take place next month.
Deputy leader of Sinn Féin, Mary Lou McDonald, said: "I welcome the conviction of Jonathan Dowdall in court today.
"The details of the attack perpetrated by him are deeply shocking. I hope the sentence delivered by the court reflects the seriousness of the offence and the trauma endured by his victim.

The pair said they could not find new partners to help run St Martin's surgery in Knowle and have told the NHS they will leave in three months.
One of those, Dr Holly Hardy, said they made a "difficult decision" to ensure "patient safety in the long term".
NHS England has until September to find replacements but said the surgery would not necessarily close.
"We will be seeking a provider for an interim GP service whilst options for the long term future of the surgery are considered," the NHS said in a statement.
Dr Hardy added: "We have reached the end of a line. We've been working, and our staff, exceptionally hard, for the last six months to keep the practice going.
"We've reached the point that we can't go on any longer."
Local MP, Labour's Dawn Primarolo, said: "Inevitably there's a danger that patients won't be able to get the access they need.
"I have asked NHS England to call an emergency meeting of all the GP practices in the area so we can sit down and work out how I can make sure... my constituents get access to their GP."

One miner, who had been working in that area of the mine the day before the incident, told investigators that water had been running from the bore hole "like a tap running half on".

Summarize the content of the document below. | Waseem Yaqub, who served on the governing board of Al-Hijrah School in the city, was found to have engaged in inappropriate conduct which made him "unsuitable to take part in the management of an independent school".
Independent schools also include academies or free schools.
The prohibition order was published by the Department for Education (DfE).
The barring decision also has the effect of disqualifying him from being a governor at a maintained school.
The DfE said: "The secretary of state found that Waseem Yaqub had engaged in conduct that is so inappropriate that, in the opinion of the secretary of state, it makes a person unsuitable to take part in the management of an independent school.
"In his various roles on Al-Hijrah's governing body, Mr Yaqub promoted, permitted or failed to challenge inadequate financial monitoring and decision-making on the part of the governing body.
"When an interim executive board was appointed in June 2014, Mr Yaqub engaged in unlawful conduct designed to prevent its members from performing their lawful functions."
Mr Yaqub can appeal against the direction within three months of being informed of the DfE's decision.
Al-Hijrah School was placed into special measures by the schools watchdog, Ofsted, following an inspection in December 2013.

All-rounder Stokes, 25, has been suffering from a knee problem but bowled in practice on Wednesday.
"I certainly see him bowling," said England captain Eoin Morgan.
Morgan also confirmed Chris Woakes is fit and Jason Roy will retain his place opening the batting.
All-rounder Woakes missed the final two matches of the 2-1 series win against South Africa with a muscle problem, while Roy has been struggling for form.
However, Morgan stated that the Surrey batsman will be playing on his home ground of The Oval and that he "cannot see it changing" throughout the tournament, despite the recent good form of Jonny Bairstow.
Stokes showed signs of his knee problem in the first ODI against South Africa last week and despite making a century in the second ODI, only bowled three overs.
He then sat out the final game at Lord's on Monday as England were thrashed by seven wickets.
"It's a very strange injury in that it's only in his delivery stride that he feels the pain," added Morgan, who said that Stokes would play as a batsman alone if he was not fit to bowl.
The Irishman also stated that Stokes is unlikely to bowl 10 overs, but the Durham man has only bowled his full allocation in an ODI on three occasions in the past two years.
England, who have never won a global 50-over trophy, begin the eight-team tournament as favourites with the bookmakers only 15 months after a shambolic World Cup campaign that saw them eliminated in the first round.
They are joined in Group A by Australia and New Zealand, the two World Cup finalists, with the top two teams progressing to the semi-finals.
Since that tournament, Morgan's men have lost only three of their 11 one-day series, with their success based heavily on a powerful batting unit that has posted totals in excess of 300 on 21 occasions.
"We need to bring our 'A' game in order to win. If at the end of it we're holding the trophy then we will have played really well," said Morgan. "It's about delivering in every game."
England's World Cup exit was confirmed by a defeat against Bangladesh in Adelaide, and the symmetry of facing the same opponents in this tournament was acknowledged by Morgan.
"Since then we have been on a huge upward curve," he said. "We have had a group of players that have bought into a way of playing and have executed it really well.
"It's been an absolute pleasure to work with this group of players."

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Samantha Power, the US ambassador to the United Nations, has appealed to European governments to spend more.
She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that cuts to defence budgets in Europe were "concerning".
Prime Minister David Cameron said the UK already met the Nato defence spending target and was also "due to meet it in the coming years".
Ms Power said that in "most cases" defence spending in Europe was shrinking, despite a growth in defence threats.
The ambassador said she had flown to Brussels to encourage the leaders of Nato countries to meet the defence spending target of 2% of GDP.
She warned: "The number of missions that require advanced militaries to contribute around the world is growing not shrinking."
The UK government has committed to the 2% spending target until the end of this Parliament, but there has been no commitment beyond that from either the Conservatives or Labour.
Britain is one of the few countries to meet the target, Ms Power said.
She added: "The United Kingdom is exceptional - has been a staunch Nato ally and has stepped up - whether on Isil (Islamic State) or on Ebola or in Afghanistan".
But the ambassador warned: "We're looking at an awful lot of threats and many of those threats are migrating into Europe, at least in the form of Isil, and yet we haven't seen European defence spending reach the 2% of GDP level that European leaders committed to."
On Monday the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi) said it was inevitable that the UK's defence spending would drop below the 2% target.
The defence think tank warned that up to 30,000 more military personnel could lose their jobs by 2020, whatever the outcome of the general election.
The warning followed concerns from the head of the US Army over the impact of spending cuts on the UK's armed forces.
Chief of Staff General Raymond Odierno voiced his reservations about the falling proportion of the UK's national wealth being spent on the military.
Despite these concerns, Ms Power told the Today programme: "This is not about one country, but it is about a larger, collective challenge that we are now facing."
She said a small investment into UN peacekeeping could make a "tremendous difference".
The ambassador appealed to governments for aid in the form of military sophistication, niche capabilities, attack helicopters and intelligence.
"Those kind of capabilities could strengthen the missions as a whole and thereby diminish the threat that all of us face," she added.
The prime minister has come under increasing pressure from Conservative MPs to commit the government to meeting Nato's target, and a backbench bill on Thursday will attempt to enshrine this target in law.
He denied the UK was "shrinking its role in the world", telling LBC radio: "What we have done with the defence budget is we froze it in cash terms at around £36bn - that's the fifth biggest defence budget in the world and the second biggest in Nato.
"We have made very specific pledges to increase in real terms the equipment budget, which is absolutely vital - that's the aircraft carriers and the Type 26 frigates and the destroyers and hunter-killer submarines and the rest." | A senior US diplomat has warned of a "dangerous" gulf emerging between US and European defence spending. |

Japan have been buoyed by their shock 34-32 win over South Africa at the weekend, but defence coach Taylor is confident ahead of Wednesday's game.
"We've been focused on this match for a couple of years but over the last six to eight weeks we've put in a lot of work on Japan," said Taylor.
"They've got dangers all across the park [but] we're ready for this."
Taylor attended Japan's win against the two-time world champions, which was the Asian champions' first victory at a World Cup since 1991.
He admitted that Scotland are "going to have to concentrate for the whole game" and praised the Brave Blossoms' scrum.
The Australia-born coach added: "When we look right across their backline - nine, 10, 14, 15 - they are exceptional players and our guys know that. We will have to be at the top of our game defensively.
"But we are confident we can do that job. We have prepared exceptionally well.
"We understand some of their patterns but we won't be sitting there watching them play. We'll be going at them defensively."
Japan head coach Eddie Jones, who is leaving his post after the tournament to take charge of Cape Town-based Stormers, thinks his team can punish Scotland with their fitness late in the match.
But Taylor, refusing to be drawn, believes "everyone has opinions on how games go".

Provide a brief summary for the information below. | But why 30 hours?
It's a figure that crops up quite a lot in the tax and benefits system, although it's well short of the 37.4 hours worked by the average full-time worker.
The government's programme also includes giving 30 hours a week of free childcare (based on a 38-week school year) to families with three-year-olds and four-year-olds (who have not yet started school).
Thirty hours a week is the minimum that the Office for National Statistics considers to be a full-time job in its Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings.
It is also the minimum number of hours a week that someone aged between 25 and 59 would have to work to be eligible for Working Tax Credits.
We know from the Labour Force Survey that 72% of workers in the UK work 31 or more hours a week.
So it appears that this person working 30 hours a week is relatively unusual.
The minimum wage at the moment for those over 21 is £6.70 an hour, which would be £10,452 a year for someone working 30 hours a week. Currently, the threshold for paying income tax is £10,600.
The Conservative Party manifesto said the country was "on course for a minimum wage that will be over £8 by the end of the decade". Someone working 30 hours a week for £8 an hour would earn £12,480 a year, which is below the £12,500 a year income tax personal allowance that the government plans for 2020.
And we also know that if the minimum wage, which is based on advice from the Low Pay Commission, rises by more than a penny above £8 an hour, the income tax threshold will be raised accordingly.
You do hear references to the tax-free minimum wage without mentioning the 30 hours, but the Queen's Speech was very clear that the pledge was only for those working up to 30 hours.
And remember, it's not really a tax-free minimum wage - you start paying National Insurance at £8,060 a year, which is only just over 23 hours a week on minimum wage.
The Suffolk site was excavated in 1939. Gold and garnet jewellery, silverware and ceremonial armour were discovered.
The small black objects scattered among the 7th Century finds were believed to be pine tar used for boat maintenance.
British Museum and Aberdeen University experts have revealed they are bitumen and said they demonstrated the "far-reaching" Anglo-Saxon trade network.
They believe the petrochemical scraps should now be viewed as "exotic grave goods which can be counted among the other treasures from the burial".
The discovery was made when the fragments were included in an EU-funded research project studying the preservation of tars associated with ancient boats.
Pauline Burger, who analysed the material while on a Marie Curie Fellowship at the museum, said the result was "completely unexpected".
She said: "To find some undiscovered imported grave goods instead was tremendously exciting."
The chemical fossils within "show this material comes from the Dead Sea family of bitumens, perhaps sourced in Syria", according to Stephen Bowden, from the University of Aberdeen.
Bitumen is a viscous or semi-solid oil deposit, which is also known as asphalt.
The British Museum has described archaeological finds of bitumen from ancient Britain as "extremely rare" - and said this is the first to be linked to the Middle East
The experts do not know if the fragments were part of a larger object whose other materials did not survive or the remains of small objects.
British Museum senior scientist Rebecca Stacey said: "Either way, it rewrites our understanding of the finds and shows that more than 75 years after its first discovery there is still much to be learnt about this remarkable burial assemblage". | In the Queen's Speech it was confirmed the government would make sure that someone working 30 hours a week on the minimum wage would not have to pay income tax.

Summarize the information in the following section. | Matthew Lane Durham, 21, had committed "heinous crimes on the most vulnerable victims", the US court said.
Durham targeted orphans while working as a volunteer at the Upendo Children's Home in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, between April and June 2014.
He is the latest charity worker in Kenya to be convicted of sex crimes.
The BBC's Abdinoor Aden in Nairobi says that Upendo Children's Home, where Durham was accused of abusing more than 10 children - some as young as four years, has welcomed the sentence by an Oklahoma court.
It has put up a video on YouTube with the headline: "Upendo Children Celebrate Justice!!", showing the orphanage's founder telling her colleagues in Nairobi about the sentencing, which she had attended.
"It is a new beginning for them," Eunice Menja said.
In court, Ms Menja fought back tears as she read a statement, saying that the sexual abuse carried out by Durham was "not only a betrayal of the Upendo mission but of the trust Upendo placed in him", the Associated Press news agency reports.
"Matthew Durham defiled the children. Matthew has no remorse. After he got caught, he still denied [the charges],'' she is quoted as saying.
Although Durham said he was innocent of the charges, he added that he was sorry that the accusations against him had damaged the orphanage.
"The Upendo kids do not deserve this,'' Durham said, AP reports.
Judge David Russell said Durham, who appeared in court in a prison-issued orange jumpsuit, was the abused children's "worst nightmare come true", it reported.
The court also ordered the former charity worker, who was arrested in 2014 at the home of his parents in the US after fleeing Kenya, to pay restitution of $15,863 (£11,000).

Write a summary for this information. | Club captain McShane returned from injury as Reading beat Burton 4-2 on Sunday to guarantee third place.
"There's a massive three weeks ahead of us and this is where the hard work starts," the Republic of Ireland international told BBC Radio Berkshire.
"It's definitely exciting. You want to be part of these moments as a player."
Reading will face Fulham in the play-off semi-finals, with the first leg at Craven Cottage on Saturday, 13 May and the return on Tuesday, 16 May at the Madejski Stadium.
"It's going to be a great atmosphere as Craven Cottage is a smaller stadium with the crowd close to the pitch," McShane said.
"We're looking forward to playing them again and the only way you can enjoy the play-offs is by winning them."
Reading will hope for better fortunes in the first leg than their past two visits to Craven Cottage, where they finished on the wrong end of 5-0 and 4-2 scorelines.
"It's a clean slate and a different ball game," McShane added. "We've come a long way since those two games.
"We're just looking forward to the challenge and the final goal, which is getting to the Premier League."
Kenneth Hall, 49, from Bridgwater, Somerset, sold details about killers held at the hospital to the News Of The World and Mirror newspapers.
They included Robert Ashman, who attacked MP Nigel Jones and killed his assistant with a samurai sword in 2000.
Hall pleaded guilty to misconduct in public office at the Old Bailey and will be sentenced next month.
The offences took place between 29 June 2002 and 6 October 2004.
Hall's wife Karen, who was also a nurse at Broadmoor, pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting the commissioning of the offence by allowing money she knew her husband was getting by selling stories to go into her account.
The mother-of-three did not sell any stories or disclose any confidential information herself, and was sentenced to five months in jail suspended for one year on Tuesday.
The Old Bailey heard how Hall made thousands of pounds selling stories to a freelance reporter, Anna Gekoski, who often worked for the News Of The World.
He later also made contact with a reporter at the Mirror.
Prosecutor Stuart Biggs said Hall "was both providing care and treatment to patients with mental health illnesses and personality disorders" when he sold the stories.
"And so he had responsibilities in respect of the risk they posed to each other, themselves and the community."
The court heard that Hall smuggled out patient notes relating to Ashman, leading to a number of stories, including one headlined, "Samurai Nut Could Be Free In 18 Months".
Mr Biggs said Hall also forged notes when he could not smuggle the originals out of the hospital.
In an email to Ms Gekoski, from 19 September 2003, Hall wrote: "Hope it goes in as a lot of work went into getting copies of those."
But the prosecutor said: "Many of the contents are fabricated. There is sometimes some truth, and sometimes there is more truth, but there is at least exaggeration.
"In this case it's a complete fabrication."
Hall also pleaded guilty to forgery.
Mr Biggs said: "In two different ways the public official abused his position.
"He had the credibility of the newspaper to create false documents, and he, on the rare occasions he was able, took out of the hospital a true document, with obvious sensitive and confidential information."
Sentencing Mrs Hall, who suffers from poor mental health and walks with a stick, Judge Timothy Pontius said it was a "tragedy" to see her in court.
But he said that in knowing her husband was making money by selling confidential information, she had encouraged the offending.
The judge told Hall, meanwhile, that a prison sentence "must be uppermost in the court's mind".

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Pine martens have been spotted by cameras in the Fermanagh woodlands, more than red or grey squirrels.
The animal is considered to be Ireland's rarest native mammal.
The results have forced researchers to rethink and they will now include pine martens in the survey.
They are now recruiting volunteers to take the project forward and get a better picture of both the red squirrel and pine marten populations in Northern Ireland.
The Fermanagh Citizen Science Red Squirrel Project originally set up cameras in 70 woodlands across the county.
The aim of the project was to monitor the Fermanagh red squirrel population.
The species was once common in Ireland but has been battling for survival ever since the grey squirrel was introduced from North America over 100 years ago.
Fermanagh and the Glens of Antrim remain the only red squirrel strongholds in Northern Ireland.
The project collected thousands of photos, but researchers were amazed to find that pine martens had been spotted more than their intended target.
Close to 40 per cent of the woodlands examined contained pine martens, compared to 20 per cent containing red squirrels and three per cent containing grey squirrels.
Dr David Tosh from Queen's University Belfast, said they had been trying to gain more information on the distribution of red and grey squirrels in County Fermanagh.
"We decided to use volunteers from the Fermanagh Red Squirrel Group and the National Trust to stick up camera traps in the forest and basically use that as a template for these red animals across the rest of Northern Ireland," he said.
"But we found more pine martens than we did red squirrels, which was a very pleasant surprise because they are also a protected and endangered species as well.
"We found pine martens in one in every three forests we surveyed while we only found red squirrels in every one in five.
"That doesn't mean that red squirrels are in decline, it's just that we found more pine martens than we did red squirrels, which is no bad thing in itself.
"They are very photogenic little creatures, they are not shy. They enjoy getting their photo taken." | Scientists behind a red squirrel monitoring project in County Fermanagh have been surprised after finding an even more elusive mammal has been 'photo-bombing' their research. |

He can give us something unique in English football
"I don't think there's any doubt that if Barkley doesn't get injured he's going to be top of the tree," said Match of the Day's Hansen, who won eight league titles with Liverpool.
"He has got absolutely everything."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez likened his player to former midfielders Paul Gascoigne and Michael Ballack.
"I can see some Ballack in him and some Gazza," the Spaniard said.
"Ross has incredible potential. We need to give him time and accept he is not ready yet. That will take time, but he has absolutely everything."
Gascoigne was widely regarded as the most gifted English player of his generation.

He was one of the stars of the 1990 World Cup when England reached the semi-finals and won 57 international caps between 1988-98.
Ballack won 98 caps for Germany and spent four years with Chelsea from 2006-10. He helped the Blues to the Premier League title and three FA Cups.
Former England striker Gary Lineker also remarked on the similar characteristics of Barkley and former Spurs team-mate Gascoigne.
"He has a bit of Gazza about him," tweeted Lineker."
"Similar stature, technique, confidence, ability to glide past opponents and a certain naivety."
Liverpool-born Barkley, who impressed again for Everton in a 1-1 draw at Arsenal on Sunday, made his debut for the Toffees two years ago in a 1-0 defeat by QPR, but then spent time on loan at Championship sides Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds.
Born: Wavertree, 5 December 1993
Teams: Everton, Sheffield Wednesday (loan), Leeds (loan)
Premier League debut: 20 August 2011
England debut: 6 September 2013
Having established himself as a regular at Goodison Park under Martinez, he made his first England appearance as a substitute against Moldova in September.
Barkley came off the bench twice more in last month's friendly defeats against Chile and Germany at Wembley.
"We have to make sure we give him at least another 50 starts to see his evolution," said Martinez.
"As a country, we need to be a little bit more protective about our youngsters because, if we look after him properly, he can give us something unique in English football and to the nation.
"I've never seen an English player with that sort of mentality." | Former Liverpool defender Alan Hansen says Everton attacking midfielder Ross Barkley has the ability to reach the highest levels in the game. |
Summarize this article briefly. | Eliza Wasni, 16, appeared in court on Wednesday, the day after Grant Nelson was found in a pool of his own blood outside an apartment building.
The Uber driver was attacked minutes after he had picked Ms Wasni up from a Walmart store, prosecutors said.
He managed to escape, but died later in hospital after undergoing surgery.
Ms Wasni, who has been charged as an adult, tried to flee in his blood-covered car but crashed, and continued on foot, wearing just her bra and leggings.
She was found hiding near an air-conditioning unit, still clinging to the machete and knife - which she only dropped after being Tasered.
Ms Wasni had called for an Uber to pick her up from the store in Skokie, north of Chicago, at about 03:00 local time (08:00 GMT), despite not being old enough to use the service.
She was also accused of stealing the weapons from the store.
Assistant state attorney Michelle Cunningham told reporters Mr Nelson, 34, had been able to give a description of his attackers to police after they found him "laying in the grass, bleeding from multiple deep stab and hacking wounds to his arms, side, head and chest".
Judge Michael Hood called the crime "extremely violent", according to the Chicago Tribune, and ordered Ms Wasni to be held without bail.
The man spotted a bomb under his car when he checked under it at his home in Kingsway Park, near Tullycarnet estate, in the east of the city.
He was about to take his 12-year-old daughter to school.
Ulster Unionist Ross Hussey said it was clear the Provisional IRA "haven't gone away and they are still here".
Those responsible, he added, should "wise up and go away".
Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly said there was "no rhyme, reason or logic" to the attack.
SDLP leader Alaisdair McDonnell said it was "insanity" to think that killing another fellow human being could benefit anyone.
After the attempted attack, which happened last Friday, police said the device bore striking similarities to previous bombs used by dissident republicans and that was now a major line of inquiry.
A senior PSNI officer said the man targeted had left the police force some years ago.

Summarize the content of the document below. | Humza Yousaf said passengers "deserve better" train services, but insisted that "improvements are being made".
There has been criticism of train services since Dutch firm Abellio took over the ScotRail franchise in 2015.
Managing director Phil Verster said he was "determined" to "deliver a railway of which Scotland can be proud".
The Scottish government has come under pressure from opposition parties about the level of services and details of the improvement plan, which has now been published.
It includes measures to improve punctuality and reliability through a series of local and nationwide programmes, from infrastructure developments to "performance workshops" for managers and staff about running services on time.
Mr Yousaf, who visited Waverley Station before speaking at a rail conference in Edinburgh, said there was an "improving picture" in terms of performance.
He said he was "delighted" that the improvement plan was being published, hoping for "immediate improvement in the performance from ScotRail".
He said: "I understand passenger frustration. The standards that they expect are not being met and the standards that I expect ScotRail to meet are not being met either. So, I understand their frustration but improvements are being made here and now.
"Improvements are being made, I want to continue to see them made, bearing in mind that there will be disruption.
"I can't as transport minister promise that there will never be disruption because of train failure or track failure or weather disruptions, but we're doing what we can to improve the situation because passengers and commuters certainly deserve better than the standards they're experiencing just now."
Opposition parties have repeatedly questioned the government over the level of services, with Labour saying the "clock is ticking" for Mr Yousaf.
Transport spokesman Neil Bibby said the publication of the plan was "two months late", adding that "in that time the full scale of the SNP's mismanagement of the railways has been exposed".
He said: "This January, rail fares across Scotland are due to rise once again and the service passengers have been receiving hasn't been good enough. After weeks of misery on Scotland's railways, passengers deserve a break. That's why we're calling for a fare freeze in 2017."
Tory finance spokesman Murdo Fraser said: "It's quite clear that the fleet of trains we have right now are struggling to cope with the demands of thousands of passengers and that delays, cancellations and disruption will continue to be a regular feature of our railways until they are overhauled.
"Ultimately it is the responsibility of the SNP government as the client to ensure that we have a rail system fit for purpose. We need to know what sanctions will be applied if the 249 action points in this document are not met."
Mr Yousaf has apologised to passengers and suggested services could be taken into the public sector in future, warning Abiello that the franchise contract could be reviewed.
The plan was published on the same day as improvements to train infrastructure were unveiled in Edinburgh, in the form of new couplers which allow trains to be linked and separated more quickly.
Phil Verster, ScotRail Alliance's managing director, said the latest investment was "another milestone achievement in our overall train improvement programme", which "sees £475m spent on refurbishments and new trains for Scotland's railway".
He added: "We are going through the biggest improvement in our railway since the Victorian era and this investment in our rolling stock is another significant signal of our determination to deliver a railway of which Scotland can be proud." | Scotland's transport minister has called for "immediate improvement" in rail services as a major improvement plan for ScotRail was published. |

Can you summarize the given article? | South Wales Fire and Rescue reported 31 incidents between April 2016 and March 2017, up from 12 in the previous year.
It said crews had been subjected to verbal and physical abuse, including having bricks thrown at them.
North Wales and Mid and West Wales fire services did not have figures when asked, but said they had a zero tolerance approach to attacks.
The areas in south Wales which had the highest number of attacks on firefighters include Blaenau Gwent (13%), Caerphilly county (16%), Cardiff (19%) and Newport (23%).
South Wales Fire and Rescue is now working with Crimestoppers and the Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner to reduce the number of attacks and bring offenders to justice.
Matthew Jones, head of the fire crime unit in south Wales, said their job was to "save lives and protect property".
"Firefighters put their lives on the line to keep communities safe and to be treated with such a lack of respect sometimes is, quite frankly, appalling," he said.
A North Wales Fire and Rescue spokeswoman said attacks on their firefighters were "rare when considering the number of calls they attend each year".
She said: "We will not tolerate abuse or attacks directed towards our staff".
"Members of staff responding to emergencies or delivering a community safety service are doing so to help and improve the communities we serve and should not be subjected to abuse of any nature."

The inquiry into the Dogan group, which owns Hurriyet newspaper and part owns CNN Turk TV, also involves an interview with an alleged Kurdish PKK militant.
A ceasefire between Turkey and the PKK unravelled in July and the conflict has escalated in recent weeks.
As tensions increased, protesters attacked Hurriyet's offices last week.
Pro-government demonstrators accused the paper of misquoting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
There were also attacks on another newspaper, Daily Sabah, as well as a number of offices belonging to the pro-Kurdish HDP party.
Anadolu news agency said prosecutors moved against Dogan after a pro-government newspaper said Hurriyet had used uncensored pictures of fallen Turkish soldiers.
On Monday, police raided a weekly news magazine, Nokta, seizing copies of its latest issue, whose cover had a mock-up picture, showing President Erdogan taking a selfie at a soldier's funeral.
Insulting the president is considered a crime in Turkey and carries a prison term of more than four years.
Dozens of people have been killed in the conflict in the east of the country, which is taking place as Turks prepare for another general election. In June, the ruling AK Party lost its majority in parliament and has since failed to persuade other parties to join a coalition.
Some of the worst fighting has been in the mainly Kurdish city of Cizre in south-eastern Turkey, where the government says 31 militants have been killed. The HDP says 23 civilians died there.
Critics of Mr Erdogan have accused him of using the collapse of the ceasefire to curb support for the HDP, whose share of the vote in June cost his party its majority.
They also say he has tried to silence both mainstream and social media ahead of 1 November elections.
Mr Erdogan became president in August 2014, after several years as prime minister, and has vowed to bolster the powers of the presidency.

What is the summary of the document provided? | He said it was likely "some monetary policy easing" would be required in response to the Brexit vote.
A deteriorating economic outlook means action from the Bank is likely during the summer, Mr Carney said.
The Bank's key interest rate - currently at a record low of 0.5% - is its chief tool of monetary policy.
A cut in interest rates would have a knock-on effect on savings rates, and makes the pound a less attractive currency to hold and do business in.
Mr Carney was speaking to business leaders in his second speech since the UK's vote to leave the EU.
"In my view, and I am not pre-judging the views of the other independent Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members, the economic outlook has deteriorated and some monetary policy easing will likely be required over the summer," he said.
This points to the likelihood of a cut to interest rates from their already record low.
It also creates the distinct possibility of further quantitative easing over the summer.
This is when the Bank buys assets, often government bonds, thereby increasing the supply of money in the economy.
The MPC next meets in the middle of July and then again in August.
How will Brexit affect your finances?
Markets shift after Carney speech
What has Brexit done to the economy?
In answer to questions from journalists, Mr Carney said the MPC would make an assessment between the meetings as to whether a policy response was required and if so, what it would be.
The Bank's predictions are that growth will be slower than previously expected next year.
Until now, the Bank had been predicting a fall from 2.3% to 1.6%, and that was based on a vote to remain in the EU.
"It now seems plausible that uncertainty could remain elevated for some time, with a more persistent drag on activity than we had previously projected," he said.
Any cut in interest rates would mean cheaper borrowing for UK householders, but a further period of low returns for savers.
But Mr Carney accepted there were risks to taking such action, and the effects on businesses and individuals.
"As we have seen elsewhere, if interest rates are too low - or negative - the hit to bank profitability could perversely reduce credit availability or even increase its overall price," he said.
He gave an assurance that the Bank would take "whatever action is needed" to support growth, but also said that it was an "uncomfortable truth" that the Bank could not in itself affect the direction of the economy.
"Monetary policy cannot immediately of fully offset the economic implications of a large, negative shock," he said.
"The future potential of this economy and its implications for jobs, real wages and wealth are not the gifts of monetary policy makers.
"This will be driven by much bigger decisions; by bigger plans that are being formulated by others."
He assured the UK that it had one of the most flexible economies in the world.
"The question is not whether the UK will adjust but rather how quickly and how well," he said.
On Friday, just hours after the result of the vote became clear, Mr Carney said that the Bank stood ready to provide more than £250bn of additional funds if required.
This was "as a backstop, and to support the functioning of markets", he said on Friday.
Before the vote, Mr Carney had said the risks of leaving "could possibly include a technical recession". The world's financial markets have witnessed considerable volatility in the days since the referendum.
Initially traders and investors saw heavy falls, but then there was a recovery with the FTSE 100 moving back above where it had closed last Thursday.
