Samples taken from long finned pilot whales that died in mass strandings in Fife in 2012 and on Skye in 2015 were examined in the new study.
The team said there was "an urgent need" to develop methods for assessing the impact of high-intensity sonar and other sounds' on whales and dolphins.
They believe the method they used could guide further research.
Staff from the Scottish Marine Animal Strandings Scheme worked with scientist Maria Morell on the study, which has been published in Scientific Reports.
The experts examined the inner ears of the dead whales. The organs were removed during post mortem examinations and preserved.
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was applied to the inner ears to detect acoustic trauma, damage caused by over-exposure to noises.
In their paper, the scientists said SEM was a useful method for detecting such damage. They have recommended that further research be carried out.
The strandings involved in the study saw large numbers of pilot whales get into difficulty in shallow water.
Twenty-one whales died on a rocky foreshore between Anstruther and Pittenweem in Fife in September 2012.
The stranding on Skye's Brogaig beach in June 2015 involved 22 whales. Seven of the animals died, or had to be euthanized because they were in distress and could not be saved.
A female and its unborn calf were among those that died.

Write a brief summary of the document. | Police received a number of calls after a big, bright flash or 'fireball' was seen - with people reporting seeing a blue, white or green light at about 6.45pm on Monday evening. Others said they had heard a rumbling sound.
Professor Keith Horne, from St Andrews University, said the meteor was probably about 10cm across, with the rumbling sound caused by a sonic boom.
The Met Office said the event was "not weather-related" as there were no thunder storms recorded on Monday night.
Professor Horne said the flash would have been caused by a meteor, the size of a tennis ball, travelling at about 30 kilometres per second.
"What you've seen is a piece of rock from outer space that has crashed into the earth," he said.
"When it hits the atmosphere it starts to burn up... It releases all this energy into the atmosphere which will cause a bright flash and sometimes bits of this explode."
One eyewitness who caught the flash on camera, Jenni Morrison, said "it was pitch black and then all of a sudden it was like a light switch went on. It became daylight - the whole sky lit up.
"I looked at my son, he looked at me and then it just went black again. It really didn't last long at all - literally seconds.
"We didn't realise what it was at the time until we looked back on my dashcam. We saw the ball of light over the trees on the left side coming down at some speed and then a massive flash.
"It was scary and amazing at the same time."
Police said a number of men wearing hooded tops and with their faces covered entered the property on Kinnaird Street at about 23:45 BST on Saturday and attacked the 19-year-old.
The teenager was cut on the neck and sustained bruising to his body.
One of the men was reported to have been carrying a gun, and several other men remained outside the house during the attack.
They made off in the direction of the New Lodge.
A woman in her 40s, who was also in the house at the time, was not injured.
Police have asked for anyone with information about the attack to contact them on the non-emergency number 101.
Lidiya Tsekova secured work at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge after an "unknown person" did a phone interview in her place.
She had already been rejected for a job over concerns about her English after a previous face-to-face interview.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) decided she was not fit to practise.
The council's conduct and competence committee heard Ms Tsekova was told in February 2014 that her English skills were not good enough for her to work at Addenbrooke's.
She had come to the interview with a friend, who had done most of the talking, with Ms Tsekova only answering "yes" or "no".
When she failed to get the job, she was told to reapply when her English had improved.
But when she later applied for another position on the dialysis ward, someone else who was fluent in English did the phone interview. Ms Tsekova was given the job as staff believed it was her on the phone.
It was only when she turned up for an induction and for her first day at work that staff realised she could not speak English.
On her first day, a senior clinical nurse had to mime actions to Ms Tsekova about taking off her apron and gloves as she did not understand the spoken instructions.
Concerns were reported to HR, and Ms Tsekova later refused to do a language assessment when asked to do so by the NMC.
She was dismissed for gross misconduct.
The committee found Ms Tsekova did not have the necessary knowledge of the English language to practise safely. | A large meteor seen in the sky over north-east Scotland has been caught on camera.

Give a brief summary of the following article. | A limit of 12 books per cell has been removed, while relatives and friends can now send books to inmates directly.
The rule changes, affecting more than 80,000 inmates in England and Wales, are meant to help prepare inmates for work when released.
Mr Gove said those "languishing in prison" were "potential assets" who could be "productive and contribute".
The scrapping of the rules from 1 September is one of Mr Gove's first key changes to prison policy since being appointed as justice secretary.
The restriction on receiving books directly came as a result of the Incentives and Earned Privileges scheme, introduced in November 2013 under Mr Gove's predecessor, Chris Grayling.
It prevented prisoners from receiving direct parcels unless there were "exceptional circumstances", such as a medical condition.
Although inmates were still allowed to use prison libraries, critics claimed they were often inadequately stocked and could be hard to access because of staff shortages.
That scheme was relaxed after a High Court ruling in December found that restricting prisoners' access to books was unlawful.
Subsequently, people were allowed to buy new books for prisoners through four approved retailers - Blackwell's, Foyles, Waterstones or WH Smith - who would send them to prisoners directly.
Mr Gove's changes will remove the limit of 12 books to a cell, as long as prisoners observe overall limits on the volume of personal possessions.
They will also allow people to send parcels of books directly to inmates without having to buy them through approved sources.
Governors will still be able to withhold any books which they deem "inappropriate, not conducive to rehabilitation, or contrary to the safe running of the prison".
And rules on receiving parcels other than book-only packages will remain.
Mr Gove said the most important thing that could be done for people in prison was ensure they were usefully employed, and received skills needed for employment, such as literacy and numeracy.
He cited Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute as a "big influence" on this thinking.
"He believes that we should see all human beings as assets, not liabilities," he said.
"I agree. Every individual has something to offer, every one of us can earn respect. People who are currently languishing in prison are potential assets to society. They could be productive and contribute.
"If we look at them only as problems to be contained we miss the opportunity to transform their lives and to save ourselves and our society both money and pain."
Chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform, Frances Cook, who had fiercely criticised the book restrictions, said the move was a "fantastic final coda" to its Books For Prisoners campaign. | Rules restricting the number of books a prisoner can have have been overturned by Justice Secretary Michael Gove. |
Can you write a short summary of this section? | Steven Kirkwood, 44, denies murdering Mr O'Hanlon, 45, at HK Autotek, Stevenston, Ayrshire, on 25 July 2016.
He has been giving evidence at his trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
Describing a meeting with the bodybuilder on the day he died, he said: "I wanted to talk to Michael O'Hanlon and I didn't want any hassle."
Mr Kirkwood has lodged a special defence of self-defence.
He told the court Mr O'Hanlan asked to meet him at HK Autotek at midday on 25 July last year.
The accused said he wanted to talk about Facebook and text messages that had been exchanged between him and his ex-partner Eileen, who was due to marry Mr O'Hanlon the following month.
Mr Kirkwood told the jurors that after he walked into the garage office Forbes Cowan, a former competitor in the World's Strongest Man competition, came in and "just started shouting."
He went on: "Out of the corner of my eye I could see Mr Cowan throw a punch and grab the back of my jacket."
Mr Kirkwood told the court he was down on his right knee when Mr O'Hanlon came into the office and both men started punching him.
He added: "I felt a jagging sensation on the left side of my back coming round to the front."
Defence QC Derek Ogg asked: "Was there any way for you to escape?" and Mr Kirkwood replied: "No."
The QC then said: "What were you thinking?" and the accused stated: "I thought they were going to kill me. I thought they were trying to stab me.
"At one point I pushed back and I saw a knife on the floor behind my left foot. I grabbed for it and swung it round behind me."
He was asked by Mr Ogg how many times he did this swinging gesture and replied: "I don't know maybe about half a dozen."
Mr Kirkwood told the court that he was swinging the knife in the direction of Mr O'Hanlon.
Mr Ogg asked: "Do you accept that all his injuries were caused by the knife you held in your hand?" and Mr Kirkwood said: "Yes."
The accused was then asked if he knew he had stabbed the bodybuilder and he replied: "No."
He said: "Forbes Cowan backed away from me. I ended up on my feet and Michael backed away towards the door. I edged out and that's when I saw Forbes Cowan handing Michael a pick axe shaft."
Mr Kirkwood claimed that he was hit on the hand and arm by the shaft as he tried to protect himself.
He said that Mr O'Hanlon then went to sit down and Mr Cowan went over to him and added: "I actually thought he was having a heart attack. The pick axe handle was by his side."
The jury heard that Mr Kirkwood got in his car and drove to his stepson's shop in Paisley. He later handed himself into the police.
He denied ever having a knife or any other weapon with him that day.
Charges of having a knife in a public place and attempting to defeat the ends of justice by disposing of it have been withdrawn by the Crown.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence's Prof Mark Baker said 10 million prescriptions a year in England were inappropriate.
He said regulators need to deal with overprescribing doctors who failed to change their ways.
The Royal College of GPs said the call was "counter-productive and unhelpful".
There is universal consensus that the very basis of modern medicine is under threat due to rising numbers of infections that are resistant to drugs.
The "antibiotic apocalypse" not only means that long-forgotten infections could kill again, but jeopardises procedures including surgery and chemotherapy.
Using antibiotics inappropriately for sore throats and colds increases the risk of resistance. Yet the number of prescriptions continues to rise.
NICE has prepared fresh guidelines on antibiotic prescribing for the NHS in England, which can be adopted by other parts of the UK.
The guidelines acknowledge that there is huge pressure from some patients for the drugs.
Prof Baker even said some people were "addicted" to the idea of getting antibiotics, even for conditions that would clear up on their own.
He added 97% of patients who asked for antibiotics ended up getting them, often by identifying a "soft-touch" doctor.
The guidelines say doctors should tell patients when antibiotics are inappropriate and refuse to write prescriptions.
Prof Mark Baker, director of the organisation's centre for clinical practice, said: "We are proposing that evidence is collected so the finger can be pointed at people who are a soft touch."
He said antibiotics could cause more harm than good in some patients, so overprescribing was "really hazardous practice".
And, he said, doctors should be encouraged to change their habits. But ultimately some cases should be dealt with by the General Medical Council, which has the power to withdraw a doctor's right to practise, "if necessary".
NICE admits that if previous guidelines on respiratory tract infections, which include colds, were actually followed then prescriptions would be 22% lower.
The latest rules for doctors should cut the 42 million prescriptions given each year by around a quarter.
Dr Tim Ballard, from the Royal College of GPs, said the focus needed to be on "societal change" - not doctors.
He said: "Any suggestion that hard-pressed GPs - who are already trying to do their jobs in increasingly difficult circumstances - will be reported to the regulator is counter-productive and unhelpful."
Robert, from Dorset, says some doctors are too restrictive.
"My daughter was ill for many weeks because the doctor refused an antibiotic.
"She was very poorly and the doctor said it was just viral and told us to go away. We took her back again and got the same response. We took her for a third time and asked him to test her mucus. He phoned us - rather embarrassed - to say that she had pneumonia.
"He prescribed her antibiotics and she got better quite quickly.
"Weeks of needless suffering!
"I'm sure he was under pressure not to prescribe antibiotics."
NICE will be publishing guidelines on educating the public next year.
Other recommendations include the use of "delayed prescribing" where a patient can only use a prescription if his condition gets worse and creating "antimicrobial stewards" who identify high levels of prescribing.
Niall Dickson, the chief executive of the General Medical Council, said doctors should reflect on their prescribing habits as part of an annual appraisal.
He said "doctors can, and do, face sanctions for mis-prescribing." But the message is "more about changing the norms of practice generally than pursuing individual doctors".

Provide a summary of the section below. | The power to run more of our own affairs is within reach if only our local authorities grasp the nettle. Some are. Some aren't.
David Cameron began the task of reshaping local government in England after the Scottish Referendum in 2014.
He pledged more powers for English authorities, as well as more independence for those north of the border.
And even though the legislation to set this in place is still going through parliament, the race is now on to form the new authorities that will grab that power - and it's set to be more of a marathon than a sprint.
Councillors in Norfolk and Suffolk are already pounding that long road and travelled to Westminster to lay their cards on the ministerial table.
The 16 councils in the two counties want to join forces to become a combined authority with more devolved power from central government and a bigger budget.
New responsibilities would be part of the devolution deal - including housing, further education and employment. The probation service and transport could also be added to their list.
With Norfolk and Suffolk keen to join forces, it's now all about getting the details of their new authority right.
Suffolk County Council leader, Colin Noble, said: "It is an opportunity for us to take more local control, to make decisions for ourselves rather than decisions being taken in Whitehall.
"And what we know is that when you take more locally-based decisions, quite often they are better decisions."
Norfolk County Council leader, George Nobbs, said: "There is no question of authorities being abolished or merged.
"This is case of a number of authorities working together, combining for a purpose to do something but not combining their membership or their democratic mandate."
But in Essex, they are still trying to work out who is on which team.
A bid to set up a Greater Essex combined authority could see all 15 councils club together to provide services for the whole county. But not all councils are fully on board.
Roy Whitehead, leader of Chelmsford City Council, has reservations, even though the city has registered an interest in joining Greater Essex.
"I am not convinced as yet, especially in financial matters, that there is actually a benefit in this for the residents of Chelmsford," he said.
Meanwhile, the unitary authorities of Southend and Thurrock are considering doing their own thing - and setting up a breakaway team with the possibility of joining forces with Castle Point, Rochford and Basildon councils.
Over in the west of the region, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire have already unveiled the branding for the new authority they want to set up - to be called England's Economic Heartland.
They claim to be at the centre of the UK's global competitiveness in science and technology, with an economy worth £48bn a year.
Jo Lappin, chief executive of the Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership, said: "For me, devolution is a demonstration to government of places that have vision, collaborative leadership and ambition.
"We have got a huge demand for public services and a rapidly growing population and that means we have really got to work together to deliver the best possible services."
The three authorities are also in talks with all the councils in Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes, to expand their already large bid.
Peter Marland, leader of Milton Keynes Council, views his authority as the "big boy in the playground" and he's keen to share any economic growth the devolution deal might bring.
"So while Milton Keynes is the jewel in the crown, this is about making sure that the benefits go right throughout the region," he says.
There is a still a long way to go down the devolution road, but the wheels in the East are beginning to turn.
The Inverness Highland Games will be held on Saturday and the Inverness Gala and a Bryan Adams concert on Sunday.

Give a short summary of the provided document. | Foxes fans, who are upset at the late switch in date and kick-off time, plan to enter the Emirates Stadium five minutes after the match has started.
The ploy has been backed by Gunners supporters, but Wenger says everybody should be in their seats on time.
"You can protest before and after but during the game you want everybody to be there," said the Frenchman.
The fixture was moved on 21 January, from Saturday (15:00 GMT) to Sunday (12:00 GMT), so it could be broadcast live on television.
Leicester supporters say the late switch has cost them money on travel and accommodation booked before the alteration.
But Wenger urged spectators not to miss "a moment of happiness".
"Life is not every day fantastic," he said, "Sometimes it's boring, sometimes it's difficult for many people.
"Football is a moment of happiness in your life, so don't miss it."
Arsenal supporters' group REDaction has called on home fans to join in the protest by applauding the late arrivals into the stadium.
Wenger has also defended Arsenal's ticket pricing again.
Last week, he said that extra television revenue for top-flight clubs, which starts flowing in from next season, should be used to buy players rather than cut ticket prices.
This week, he said the Gunners offered good value for money.
"It is a very complicated subject," he said when asked for his latest views on the ongoing row over ticketing.
"Our most expensive price is a fraction higher than the other clubs in London. Our most common ticket price is lower than many places in England. I don't think that we have a massive problem on that front."
He said it was "true we get more television income" than other leagues but said there was pressure to "pay for the players with a higher price".
He added: "You want the ticket prices to be as comfortable as possible for our fans. Our cheapest prices are cheaper than anywhere in London."
Stoke City have frozen ticket prices for eight seasons following their promotion to the Premier League.
Club chairman Peter Coates told the BBC: "We wanted prices to be affordable. It's a working men's sport and that's where its roots are.
"We haven't raised ticket prices. The amount of income we get from TV rights, we can afford to do what we do."
Liverpool have been in the news this week following plans to increase the cost of its most expensive matchday ticket to £77.
The club eventually decided to abandon the price hike after fans staged a walkout last weekend.

Please summarize the passage below. | The body of Liam Hill, 44, was found at his Rhyl flat on 8 January, two days after he was last seen.
A post mortem examination raised concerns about the cause of his death.
Speaking on Friday, Mr Hill's sister Colette Sudlow said: "We are angry someone's actions have taken Liam's life and destroyed ours."
Officers previously appealed to football fans for help as Mr Hill was seen at Rhyl's Bar Bow pub watching Everton v Manchester City on 6 January.
At a press conference, Ms Sudlow said: "For Liam to be taken away from us at such a young age and in such a cruel way is heartbreaking.
"This has been a very difficult time for the whole family and it's been made worse by the sudden passing of Liam's older brother Sean on Tuesday night."
Police previously said Mr Hill sustained significant head, upper and lower body injuries.
Det Supt Mark Chesters of North Wales Police said Mr Hill was well known in the area and he was "a little disappointed about the lack of information from the local community".
He added: "We have no doubt that Liam's injuries were sustained as a result of a deliberate and sustained attack by one or more people."

Rotherham 1-4 MK Dons
They may have been the top scorers in the country last season with 101 goals in League One, but life is meant to be a lot tougher in the Championship.
But you try telling that to Karl Robinson's men, who got their first ever season in the second tier under way with a thumping victory at Rotherham.
Harder tests will no doubt lie ahead, but the opening day table makes pretty viewing for Dons fans as they sit top of the pile.
Stevenage 0-2 Notts County
He's represented England in two World Cups, scored in a Champions League final and played for arguably the world's biggest club, but Teddy Sheringham has now stepped onto the other side of the touchline for the first time.
Unfortunately for Teddy, things didn't quite go to plan today, as his Stevenage side were comfortably beaten at home by Notts County.
The 49-year-old didn't have to taste defeat much in his career with Manchester United, but he will have to get used to the highs and lows of management very quickly.
Doncaster 1-1 Bury
There's nothing like a bit of controversy to kick-off the new season - but a sporting gesture made sure everything ended on friendly terms between Doncaster and Bury in League One.
After Bury put the ball out to allow treatment to one of their players, Doncaster's Harry Forrester accidentally chipped the ball over goalkeeper Christian Walton and into the net while trying to give it back.
The goal stood, but the hosts allowed Bury's Leon Clarke to walk the ball in to ensure a share of the spoils.
Cardiff 1-1 Fulham
Fulham only registered one shot on target, Matt Smith's goal, in their 1-1 draw at Cardiff.
It led to boss Kit Symons urging his side to carry more of a forward threat as the season goes on rather than just playing attractive football with no end product.

Swindon 4-1 Bradford
He'd only netted seven league goals in 78 appearances before today, but Swindon's Nathan Byrne turned into the unlikely match winner with three second-half goals for the Robins.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Brett Smitheram from Chingford defeated fellow Briton Mark Nyman in three straight rounds during the contest's final in the French city of Lille.
The 37-year-old's highest scoring word was BRACONID, meaning a parasitic wasp, which earned him 176 points.
Mr Smitheram, who also collected a 7,000 euro (£5,873) prize, said he was "absolutely thrilled to have won".
It was the former UK champion's first victory at the tournament. His best previous result was reaching the quarter finals in 2014.
His Knutsford-based opponent, Mark Nyman, is a writer who was named world Scrabble champion in 1993 and has been a producer on legendary Channel 4 word game Countdown.
After his win, Mr Smitheram admitted his opponent was one of his "Scrabble idols" when he was growing up.
"He used to be the producer of Countdown and he got me on Countdown when I was 17, 20 years ago now. I was on Countdown about 10 or 12 times," the new champion said.
"So he's known me for 20 years, and at the time when he interviewed me for Countdown he said 'What's your biggest aspiration?' and I said 'I want to win the Scrabble World Championship'.

Please provide a summary for the content below. | The police unit will patrol important buildings such as the prime minister's office.
If a suspicious drone is detected, the operator will be warned via loudspeakers on the ground.
But if he or she fails to respond, police will launch drones equipped with nets to bring down the device.
"Terrorist attacks using drones carrying explosives are a possibility," a senior member of the police department's security bureau told the Asahi Shimbun website.
"We hope to defend the nation's functions with the worst-case scenario in mind."
In April, a drone carrying a small amount of radioactive material landed on the roof of the prime minister's office. No-one was injured and a man was subsequently arrested in connection with the incident.
A video posted online by Japanese website Jijicom shows how Tokyo Police's drones, complete with nets, might catch an unwanted airborne device in action.
"In Japan, it is illegal to pilot drones over certain areas such as airports and power plants, over roads, or above a height of 150m," Paul Haswell, a partner at legal firm Pinsent Masons, told the BBC.
"Some cities such as Tokyo and Osaka have also outlawed their use in parks."
Regulations on drones came into force in Japan this week, following an amendment to the country's Aviation Act.
"Japan's new net-carrying, drone-disabling drone is certainly an interesting way to police those areas where drones are forbidden," added Mr Haswell.
Rules over drone use are being tightened up in several countries. In the US for example, authorities have called for a drone register which would list device owners across the nation. | A drone squad, designed to locate and - if necessary - capture nuisance drones flown by members of the public, is to be launched by police in Tokyo. |
Please give a summary of the document below. | The move ends years of speculation about the ownership of the company.
Bernie Ecclestone will remain as chief executive but Chase Carey, vice-chairman of 21st Century Fox, will become the new chairman.
Liberty Media has stakes in several sports and entertainment businesses, including the Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball club.
Owned by the billionaire John Malone, Liberty will initially purchase a minority stake in the world's leading motor-racing championship. A full takeover is planned if regulators approve the deal.
The total transaction values the firm at $8bn but includes $4.1bn worth of F1's debt.
Liberty Media is buying the stake from the private equity firm CVC Capital.
CVC has held a stake for the past decade but sold some of its holding in 2012.
It has been criticised for taking considerable profits from the sport, which has suffered from falling TV ratings in recent years.
This is one of the biggest deals in sports history and one of the most important moments in the history of F1.
Under overlord Bernie Ecclestone's long command - and the last decade of ownership by private equity group CVC - the motorsport series has enjoyed remarkable growth in terms of global popularity, profits and new races.
Liberty Media will hope to build on these strengths, helping the sport gain new fans, especially in the Americas, and to capitalise on new opportunities around marketing, promotion, digital rights and social media.
However, assuming European regulators approve the takeover, there are issues that the new US owners will need to address - the decline in appeal among younger audiences in an ultra-competitive sporting landscape, the rising costs to teams, fans and circuits, and the predictability of races.
Many inside the sport will be relieved to see the back of CVC, which has done very well out of its investment, and excited by the future. But this is also the beginning of the end of Mr Ecclestone's remarkable reign. Inevitably there will be uncertainty.
Ecclestone to stay for 'three more years'
Beginning of the end for Ecclestone?
Ecclestone: The man, the myths and the motors
"We are excited to become part of Formula 1," said Greg Maffei, chief executive of Liberty Media.
"We think our long-term perspective and expertise with media and sports assets will allow us to be good stewards of Formula 1 and benefit fans, teams and our shareholders."
Mr Ecclestone said: "I would like to welcome Liberty Media and Chase Carey to Formula 1 and I look forward to working with them."
Earlier, he said in an interview with Reuters that he had been asked to stay on for three years and would miss the Singapore Grand Prix on 18 September as he needed be in London for the negotiations.
The 85-year-old British businessman has run the sport for 40 years.
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.
Russian authorities have so far not commented on Ikea's move.
Ikea was founded in Sweden in the 1943, and has become one of the most successful multinational companies.

Write a concise summary for the following article. | Almost £6m has been set aside for the project which will be centred on the Irish and Scottish coasts.
It is being led by scientists from Northern Ireland's Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI).
They are developing a network of marine monitoring devices.
The scientists will be able to record whale and dolphin chatter, allowing them to identify numbers and species in the water.
The technology will also enable them to assess whether noise from commercial fishing, or other marine industry affects them.
Dr Adam Mellor of AFBI says noise can have a big impact on sea mammals:
"Displacement from noise is a very real effect and....if it doesn't cause them to move will change their behaviours and, at the most acute levels, can cause physical and physiological damage to the animals."
As well as assessing the environment for marine mammals, scientists hope to learn much more about the salmon and sea trout which spawn in our rivers.
Very little is known about what happens to them, or where they go when they return to the open seas.
Some are to be caught, fitted with trackers and followed to try to help scientists fill in the gaps in our knowledge.
Bigger marine buoys with complex equipment slung underneath will also be used to assess the state of the oceanic climate and its impact on underwater habitats, plants and animals.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Ian Loak, from Burton Latimer, Northamptonshire, threatened a 22-year-old man who had been making fun of him.
Northampton Crown Court heard Loak had been "very drunk" when he made the threat. He later began to hit a wooden fence with the Gurkha machete.
Loak pleaded guilty to possession of an offensive weapon.
He was sentenced to 12 months in jail, suspended for two years.
Northamptonshire Police had received reports of a man standing in a street with a weapon at 19:20 BST on 21 July.
Police were called to the scene and arrested Loak. They found a knife in his pocket and a search of his home uncovered the machete.
At various times in the case the prosecution referred to the weapon as a "machete" and a "Gurkha Kukri" knife.
The prosecution said Loak had a number of previous convictions for violent offences, the last of which dated back to 1998.
The court heard he had been convicted of a "very serious offence" in 1987, which earned him the nickname of "the Axe Man".
Judge Lynn Tayton asked if the prosecution had any more details of this offence, but was told they did not.
The court heard Loak had suffered a stroke which had "changed his personality".

Summarize the content of the document below. | Some 59% of voters have said "No" to the proposal put forward by the right-wing Swiss People's Party.
The vote happened amid growing unease at rising immigration and the problems which, the party says, come with it.
But opponents said the law would create a two-tier justice system unfairly targeting foreigners, who make up around 25% of Switzerland's population.
Almost two million foreign passport holders live permanently and legally in Switzerland, but as gaining Swiss nationality is a complicated and expensive procedure, and is not conferred automatically at birth, these foreign nationals include many who have never lived outside of Switzerland.
The Swiss government says only two in every 100 foreigners living in Switzerland have been granted Swiss citizenship.
Opinion polls initially suggested the proposal would get support, but the mood among voters shifted in the last weeks of the campaign.
More than five million people were entitled to vote in the referendum; only Swiss nationals get to vote.
This result is a major blow for the right wing Swiss People's Party.
The high turnout, over 60%, and the big majority against the deportation proposal show clearly that voters think the party has gone too far.
The proposal to automatically deport foreigners, many of whom were born in Switzerland, for minor offences such as speeding, was viewed as highly discriminatory.
The size of the defeat over deportation is likely to force the Swiss People's Party to reconsider similar policies, which it has been planning to put to nationwide votes.
In 2010 the Swiss approved measures to deport foreigners convicted of murder or sexual violence.
The proposal rejected on Sunday included automatic deportation with no right of appeal if a foreigner committed two minor offences within 10 years such as speeding or arguing with a police officer.
The changes would have created some of the strictest laws on foreigners in Europe. | People in Switzerland have rejected a plan to automatically expel foreigners who commit minor crimes, results show. |
Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | Should I shield them from the news? Is it best just to turn the television off? Will the images they see traumatise them? Or should I tell my children exactly what's happened?
The advice from professionals is that talking about these issues is better than avoiding them.
Consultant clinical psychologist Emma Citron, who specialises in children and trauma, says families should not shy away from talking about the tragic events in Manchester.
"Give children basic facts, tell them what it is they want to know, ask them what they would like to know and then give them access to that," she says.
"Support them and comfort them and be there for them, hug them, cry with them if they're crying, just respond to how they're responding emotionally.
"Take the lead from them - we need to know what it is they want answers to."
While turning off the television and radio might be a natural protective instinct, Dr Bernadka Dubicka from the Royal College of Psychiatrists, says shielding children from traumatic events in the news isn't practical in today's society.
"Parents can't shield children from these events completely," she says. "The reality is that children and young people are bombarded by 24/7 news."
Dr Dubicka says the most important thing is for parents to be there and to try to help their children manage their emotions.
"Trying to hide the news isn't helpful because they'll hear about it elsewhere and parents won't then be there to take them through it."
While it's important to talk about the news, parents should avoid unnecessary detail, adds Ms Citron.
"Avoid nasty details, there's no need for them, they're unnecessary.
"You don't want to be describing the scene, describing the bloodshed, describing what it looked like, showing them images - I would be avoiding all of that, because that can traumatise the child."
Ms Citron also advises parents to be firm with older children about how much they read on the internet.
"Tell your young person not to go scouring the internet for all the inside stories, it's just not necessary - we need to protect our young people as well."
Ms Citron says parents should take the lead from their children in how the conversation develops, but should try to include as many calm and reassuring phrases as possible.
"General comments like, 'This is a very rare occurrence', 'It's absolutely awful, but thank goodness it's extremely rare', and 'Security is going to be tightened even more', are really reassuring.
"We don't want our children feeling afraid to go out, we don't want them not to grow up to lead normal, happy, healthy, well-adjusted lives."
If faced with the question, "Could this happen again, mummy?", Ms Citron recommends telling the truth, but also giving children lots of reassurance about their normal, everyday activities.
"I would be saying, 'Of course it could' - and don't lie about that - 'But it's very unlikely, these are very, very rare events and we are sure the police are going to up security even more.
"'It'll be absolutely fine to still go to your football or your netball, it'll be absolutely fine to still go on your scout camp', or whatever it is they do.
"'We have to to carry on living our lives in a normal way and not be cowed by these bad people.'"
The scale of the Manchester attack and the possibility that affected schools might postpone exams, means the subject will be an inevitable topic of conversation in schools.
"I'd be surprised if schools weren't giving pupils a chance to talk about the attack," says Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders.
"If students want to talk, teachers will let them ask questions and they will be talking to them about how they can look at appropriate, reliable sources for information."
Mr Barton says schools will also be working hard to emphasise a sense of community cohesion.
"Schools will be wanting to emphasise the sense of community and shared values - they'll be using every opportunity to celebrate what they have in their own community."
But, in his 15-year experience as a head teacher, he says schools will be keeping a "business as usual" approach in the wake of this attack, unless they are directly affected.
"Routines are important and can carry people through - they keep a sense of calm purpose."
The signs of trauma depend very much on the individual, however, symptoms to watch for include:
If you are concerned about your child and think he or she is traumatised by events in the news, you can approach your GP.
If the problems go on, the doctor may suggest accessing some extra help from the local child and adolescent mental health service (Camhs).
But parents should try not to be overly anxious, as Dr Dubicka says: "The vast majority of young people will cope with this and will be OK." | News of a terrorist attack is always frightening, but for parents there is the added dilemma of what to say to their children. |
Summarize the passage below. | Peter Byrne contacted the firm as tremors caused by his condition meant he kept hitting the standard controller's touchpad, pausing games.
Alex Nawabi from Sony's marketing team said he would investigate.
He then modified a Dual Shock 4 controller himself and sent it to Mr Byrne as a surprise.
On the bespoke version, the touchpad has been disabled and its button re-routed to the back of the device.
In a letter to Mr Byrne, who lives in New Jersey in the US, Mr Nawabi said it took him around 10 hours and three attempts to create his solution.
He said he had undertaken the work on his own initiative and told Mr Byrne it would not be covered by the warranty.
"I'm not 100% sure how long it will last, as it's the first time I've ever done anything like this," he wrote.
"I have plans to build you one more controller in case this one breaks but I'd like feedback on this one first."
Mr Nawabi added that Mr Byrne's email had "struck a chord" with him.
"It killed me to hear how something you used to enjoy thoroughly was being ruined because of our new controller design," he wrote.
Mr Byrne said he was delighted with his new controller.
"Honestly, I expected them to just make a note of my issue and say 'we'll address this in the future'," he told the BBC.
"It works very good so far. I have no problems and gameplay has been fine".
Mr Byrne's story attracted the attention of local news outlet News12 New Jersey (subscription site) after he posted pictures of the letter and his controller on Facebook and it was shared widely.

Can you summarize the following information? | The Australian, who retired in 2013, feels the number of 'pay drivers', such as Sauber's Felipe Nasr and Marcus Ericsson, is not good for the sport.
"These guys are on a phenomenal level but the depth has never been weaker," Webber told BBC Radio 5 live.
"We need to get the calibre that we have at the front of the grid. We need more depth and the cars to be faster."
Pay drivers bring sponsorship to secure a seat in order to help their team reach its annual budget.
Webber added: "If you go from the top 10 back, there are a lot of pay drivers. This is not good.
"The physical components are the lowest it's ever been. It's like a rugby tackle but 30% softer."
When Webber entered F1 in 2002, the cars were near their fastest and physically demanding to handle with V10 engines and refuelling allowed.
A series of changes in recent years has taken the sport down a slower, environmentally-friendly path with a raft of drivers aids to make overtaking easier.
"The drivers want cars that are more demanding," says Webber.
"It's a bit like being an F-18 fighter pilot but flying for British Airways. They're within their comfort zone, pacing races. It's frustrating.
"F1 should be the pinnacle. It should be by far the fastest through the corners, physical on the drivers and things where the drivers are the gladiators again.
"The car still needs to be something the fans have never seen anything like before. There's so many categories which are close to them now."
Following the death of British IndyCar driver Justin Wilson last month, calls for closed cockpits in single-seaters have increased.
Governing body the FIA has been looking into various methods to provide better protection for drivers' heads since Felipe Massa, then driving for Ferrari, was hit on the helmet by a bouncing spring during qualifying for the 2009 Hungarian Grand Prix.
Cockpits enclosed by a fighter jet-style canopy had been considered, but were dismissed because of concerns about the strength of the cover.
F1 driver Jules Bianchi died in July nine months after suffering serious head injuries in a collision with a recovery vehicle in the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix.
The deaths of the Frenchman and Wilson, who competed in F1 for Minardi and Jaguar in 2003, have brought the issue of open cockpits into question once again.
Webber has joined a number of current drivers who feel it is time to offer greater protection to drivers' heads.
"I am a purist but I'd like to see them closed. They're delaying the inevitable now. It's going to come," he said.
"In 10 years it probably will be there so let's just bring it forward and find a way that is elegant and safe for extraction.
"There's enough experts to make that happen."

Lewis Hamilton's victory in Sunday's Italian Grand Prix extended his lead at the top of the drivers' standings to 53 points over Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.
Despite his dominance, the two-time world champion has been criticised for attending celebrity events such as the MTV video awards in Los Angeles.
Is Hamilton being too flamboyant for his own good or is his character just what the sport needs?
"You can be cool," says Webber. "David Beckham, Usain Bolt, Valentino Rossi - they're all different characters. Lewis is different in his own way.
"Lewis sees himself as a brand. He wants to be marketable and he's a little bit box office.
"Don't underestimate his penetration in the American market too."
Two fast drivers in the quickest car. One has a slight edge over the other. Both are fighting it out for the world championship until the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
For Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in 2014, read Sebastian Vettel and Webber in 2010. Germany's Vettel pipped his Red Bull team-mate to the drivers' championship and proceeded to enjoy a dominant run of four consecutive world titles.
With Rosberg off the pace of Hamilton this season, just as Webber was compared to Vettel in 2011, the Australian feels the off-season this winter will be crucial for Rosberg to regroup.
"That's why the first world championship is very important," says Webber. "My weakest year was the year after and Nico is going through that now.
"I led the championship for a huge part of 2010 before Seb got on a roll at the back end.
"Nico can come through this period but now there's no time to take a break. The races are every fortnight - bang, bang, bang.
"It's not like tennis or golf where you can miss a tournament and go hug your teddy. You've got to keep pressing on.
"This winter will be big for Nico."
For the second season in a row, Jenson Button's future in the sport remains uncertain.
The 2009 world champion has a contract with McLaren for 2016 - but the team have the choice whether to exercise this option.
Button, 35, wants his future to be finalised in the next few weeks, but with the McLaren struggling at the back of the field, Webber feels a change of scenery could do the Briton good.
"To know he's going into a race and has no chance is mentally very difficult," said Webber.
"I'd love to see him try something different, try sportscars.
"I get frustrated watching his situation. I want to see him in a competitive car but is that going to happen next year? Unlikely.
"JB, the type of guy he is, gutsy and a dark horse, he would love the environment where it's a little less tense." | Ex-Formula 1 driver Mark Webber says the strength in depth on the current grid is the lowest it has ever been. |
What is the summary of the given information? | The Welsh government has agreed a "memorandum of understanding" with Medicon Village in Lund, Sweden.
The centre is a hub for research in life sciences, and part of the wider Medicon Valley science centres across the Oresund Strait in Denmark.
Economy Minister Edwina Hart said twinning with Medicon would bring mutual benefits to Wales and the Nordic research centres.
"I see it as the start of a long term, wide ranging collaboration between Wales, Medicon Village and the wider Medicon Valley region and am pleased to announce that discussions are already under way between Lund and Cardiff universities," she said.
"Twinning with an internationally renowned life science region will help raise international awareness of the sector in Wales and its capabilities.
"It will provide businesses and research institutions with a unique opportunity to work much closer on an international level with a well-established and strong European life science cluster to find partners, collaborators and investors and help promote international business development."
Life sciences include such areas as biology, medicine, and ecology which study living organisms.
Medicon Village in Lund is sited at the former research centre for the pharmaceutical giant, AstraZeneca, with 600 people working in medical research, pharmaceuticals, medical technology and biotechnology.
Across the Medicon Valley centres, some 40,000 people are employed in more than 100 biotech companies and 200 medical research ventures.
Ursula Hultkvist Bengtsson, the executive vice-president of Medicon Village, welcomed the link with the Welsh government.
"This is our first international partnership which we expect will create value for our members together with the important Welsh life science cluster," she said.
"The global health challenges can only be solved by working together and it is important to reach out and collaborate for the benefit of people's health and wellbeing."

Write a summary of this document. | Officers in an armed response vehicle spotted a blue Transit van that was being driven with three wheels on the Clackmannanshire Bridge.
When they signalled to the driver to stop, he crashed the van into a barrier on the bridge.
He then got out and climbed over the bridge's safety railings before entering the River Forth.
The man has not been seen since the incident, which happened at 02:50 on Friday. The bridge was closed while a search was carried out and did not reopen until just after 21:00.
Police Scotland said its officers had been responding to the "potential risk to public safety" caused by the van only having three wheels.
A statement released by the force said the officers had "attempted to alert the driver that they wished him to stop by turning their vehicle around and activating their blue lights".
The officers had then attempted to save the man from the water.
Ch Insp Irene Ralston said: "At this time the main focus of this operation is to trace the man, who has not been seen since he went into the water, which was at high tide. We are continuing to keep his family informed and supported.
"The incident happened as officers were in the very initial stages of attempting to make the driver aware of their presence and their concerns over the condition of his van. Anyone with information relevant to this incident is asked to contact police immediately.
"We are also keen to hear from other motorists who may have been on the roadway around the Clackmannanshire Bridge just before 02:50 on Friday morning and saw the blue Transit van.
"If you believe you can assist us then please come forward. In the meantime I would like to thank the public for their patience and co-operation while the bridge remains closed."
"If we reach an agreement with him we'll appoint him as Black Stars coach," GFA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi said.
"If we don't reach an agreement with him, we'll look at our second option."
The GFA said the Israeli is their first choice ahead of the Spaniard Juan Ignacio Martinez and former Switzerland assistant coach Michel Pont.
"We're going to engage Grant on the details of the job requirement and expectations which will span from remuneration, conditions of service and others," Nyantakyi added.
"We are going to re-negotiate effectively. We know his salary expectation but we'd like to see if we can beat it down further."
The 59-year old took Chelsea to the final of the 2008 European Champions League and also had a four year spell in charge of the Israeli national team.
The GFA did not put a timeline on when they intend to make a firm appointment but say they will offer Grant a two year contract with a mandate to win Ghana their fifth Africa Cup of Nations title.
The Black Stars have been without a coach since Appiah left the job after the opening two 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and was replaced by Maxwell Konadu on a temporary basis.
Konadu oversaw the Black Stars back-to-back ties against Guinea in October, leading them to a 1-1 draw and a 3-1 victory to lift them to the top of Group E.
The delay in finding a new coach means Konadu is set to oversee the Black Stars final qualifiers, away to Uganda on 15 November and then at home to Togo four days later.
Initially former Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac is being widely tipped to return to the post he held between 2008 and 2010.

When he asked her outright, she denied being a spy, he told the programme.
He also confesses to having felt intimidated acting with his on-screen mother in Downton, Dame Maggie Smith.
He told Kirsty Young his parents met when his father was training as a doctor and his mother as a nurse. She followed him to Singapore and worked for the Foreign Office there
When he was about 10 years old and the family were living in London, his mother took a job for three days a week.
But he did not ask her about it until much later on.
He said: "We used to drop her off at her office sometimes at Lambeth North.
"I opened the newspaper one day and it said 'Century House MI6 building to be sold' and I looked at the photograph and said, 'Mum, that's your office.'
"And she said 'Mmm, yes dear.' I said, 'You're a spy?'.
"She said 'No, I'm not a spy dear.'"
Bonneville said his mother died just over a year ago. When he asked his father if she ever said anything about her work: "He said, 'Never, she just went to the office.'"
"All I know is she didn't have special umbrellas or knives coming out of her toe caps or anything like that, she did just work in the office.
"But I am extremely proud, not only that she found fulfilment in that work, as well as bringing up us kids, but that she never spoke about it."

"She is the most astonishing actress. Her wit is legendary, as you say, and she doesn't suffer fools. And you raise your game, you have to.

Write a brief summary of the document. | Countrywide - which lets 90,000 properties - said just 5% of British homes now have overseas owners, compared with 12% in 2010.
Foreign investors have previously been blamed for pushing up house prices.
The fall is most evident in London, where the proportion of overseas landlords has fallen from 26% to 11%.
Tax changes appear to have discouraged some of them, while others have bought property in cheaper areas instead.
The news was welcomed by tenants groups, who said foreign owners had clearly benefited from tax loopholes in the past.
"This implies that there has been a gradual net sell-off, which demonstrates that government taxation of foreign property is having some impact in deterring speculation," said Dan Wilson Craw, director of Generation Rent.
"Sadly, that has not prevented house prices rising by more than inflation between 2013 and 2016, pricing millions of renters out of home ownership."
The biggest fall in foreign ownership in London has been amongst Europeans. In 2010 they made up 39% of foreign investors, but they now account for 28%.
Asians, including those from Hong Kong, have taken over as the biggest London buyers.
While the decline in sterling has made UK properties relatively cheaper for foreign investors since June 2016, landlords have been hit by earlier tax rises.
Investors who already own a property have had to pay a 3% surcharge on Stamp Duty (Land and Buildings Transaction Tax in Scotland) since April 2016.
And since April 2012, companies buying property in the UK have also been liable for the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED).
This amounts to £3,500 a year for properties worth between £500,000 and £1m, or £7,050 for those worth over £2m.
"A steady increase in foreign investors' tax bills combined with more recent falling expectations of price growth in London has led to a decline in foreign investment in buy-to-let," said Johnny Morris, research director at Countrywide.
"As well as having to contend with increased stamp duty and ATED, overseas investors also saw the removal of capital gains tax exemptions in 2015."

In a letter to parents, the school in Trent Vale for 11 to 18-year-olds, said it was "facing cuts next year of £289,000 in addition to the more than £1m that has been cut" over the previous five years.
It said that meant it had had "£200 funding cut per pupil per year since 2013 with another £286 per pupil cut from this year's budget".
In a statement, the school said whilst it could meet its "core" commitments, the provision of "the outstanding opportunities that we strive to offer has been supported by parents for the last 20 years via a voluntary payment to the school fund".
It added: "We have recently reminded parents, as we do annually, of the benefits to their children of supporting the school in this way."
The government said school funding was "at its highest level on record at almost £41bn in 2017-18" and that was set to rise, as pupil numbers increase, to £42bn by 2019/20.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | UKIP have been campaigning hard in the Lincolnshire seat, an area which voted heavily to leave the European Union.
The seat has returned Conservative MPs since it was formed in 1997 - Tory Stephen Phillips had a majority of more than 24,000 votes in 2015.
He resigned in November, citing "irreconcilable policy differences" with the government.
Although he backed leaving the EU, he had since been critical of the government's approach to Brexit.
Mr Phillips won with 56.2% of the vote in 2015, Labour came second with 17.3% with UKIP a close third on 15.7%.
But UKIP has been throwing its weight into the by-election campaign, hoping to bring about a similar upset to last week's Richmond Park by-election, which saw the Lib Dems overturn a 23,000 Conservative majority.
UKIP will be hoping to capitalise on Eurosceptic feeling in Sleaford and North Hykeham, situated in Lincolnshire, west of Boston - which had the highest majority of Brexit voters in Britain.
UKIP's former leader Nigel Farage and his successor Paul Nuttall have been on the campaign trail in the constituency, supporting their candidate Victoria Ayling - a former Conservative who stood for the Tories in Great Grimsby in 2010 - running Labour a close second.
Conservative candidate Dr Caroline Johnson, a consultant paediatrician, stood unsuccessfully for Scunthorpe in 2010, losing to Labour. She has said she is "completely behind the government's plans for Brexit".
Jim Clarke, a refuse driver, is standing for Labour. Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has been to Sleaford to give a speech backing Mr Clarke. The party will be hoping for a strong performance after losing its deposit in last week's Richmond Park by-election.

Police said his death appeared to be a contract killing.
The 58-year-old was shot several times by an unidentified gunman as he left his car outside his home in north-west Moscow on Tuesday night.
Mr Akhtakhanov had opposed the Chechen separatist movement, believing Chechnya should remain part of Russia.
"An unknown person shot at Akhtakhanov twice: first in the leg and then in the head," the Investigations Committee of Russia said in a statement.
The Interfax news agency quoted police sources as saying that Mr Akhtakhanov was shot at about midnight and that the killer escaped in a car which was later found several blocks away.
A pistol with a silencer was found in the car.
Mr Akhtakhanov was a professor at the Modern Humanitarian Academy in Moscow.
He received a special journalism prize in 2009 for a book of poems called "I am proud of Chechnya, which gave heroes to the world".
On his website, he describes himself as an educator and an advocate of Chechnya remaining part of Russia.

Summarize the content of the document below. | The strike caused disruption but Transport for London (TfL) said Hammersmith and City and Circle line trains were running every 20 minutes.
Members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union called the strike amid claims industrial relations had broken down.
The drivers ended their industrial action at 21:00 BST on Friday.
TfL said a full service would be running on both lines on Saturday.
The RMT has accused TfL managers of being "heavy handed", including putting staff toilet breaks on a stopwatch and showing "flagrant disregard" for agreed policies and procedures.

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Germany's federal statistics office Destatis, said the annual rate of inflation fell to 0.2% in December from 0.6% a month earlier.
That was its lowest level since October 2009.
It comes two days before eurozone inflation figures for December, which some analysts believe will show the currency bloc falling into deflation.
Inflation in the 18-nation currency bloc in November stood at 0.3% according to the European Union's statistics agency, Eurostat.
It has been below the Bank's target of 2%, or just below, since the start of 2013.
A number of other eurozone countries, including Spain and Italy, have already fallen into deflation.
Using the European Central Bank's (ECB) preferred statistical calculations - the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) - German inflation was even lower at 0.1% in December.
The latest figures will increase pressure on the ECB to begin buying government debt.
After the ECB's December meeting left interest rates unchanged at 0.05%, the bank's president, Mario Draghi, said it had "stepped up" its preparations to act if needed, and help prop up inflation in the eurozone.
While low inflation leads to lower prices and can be good news for consumers, it can also lead to falling economic activity, job losses and recession.
Consumers and businesses tend to postpone making purchases or investments in the belief that prices may fall further.
This can lead prices even lower to the point where businesses are forced to lay off staff or even close altogether.
In the summer the ECB cut interest rates to a new all-time low and began an asset purchase programme to inject cash into the economy to help combat deflation.
But big falls in the price of oil, which has fallen more than 50% in the past six months, has had a greater impact on prices, continuing to push them lower.
Jennifer McKeown at Capital Economics said that the fall in German inflation was largely due to lower oil prices, and that the broader eurozone figure was likely to be negative for the first time since October 2009.
She added: "Such a development would surely make the pressure for the ECB to implement quantitative easing at its January meeting irresistible."
But concerns remain over how the ECB will structure its bond buying programme and whether Greek bonds will be included - given the uncertainty over which political party will win the snap election called for three days after the next ECB meeting.
The far-left Syriza party, which has vowed to reverse the austerity measures that were a condition for Greek bailout packages totalling €240bn (£187bn), holds a narrow lead in opinion polls.

Can you summarize the following information? | "I don't know where this came from. There is nothing to pardon," Jay Sekulow said.
On Saturday, Mr Trump said he had "complete power" to issue pardons, following reports he had asked advisers about the scope of his authority.
Criminal and congressional inquiries are underway into alleged collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign.
Earlier in the week, the Washington Post reported that Mr Trump had inquired about his ability to pardon himself, family members or aides in connection with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into claims Russia interfered in the US election.
Mr Trump has reportedly been infuriated that the inquiry has widened to consider his finances and close family.
Presidents have broad abilities to issue pardons and Mr Trump could potentially restrict Mr Mueller's investigation.
His tweet said: "While all agree the U. S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is LEAKS against us. FAKE NEWS."
But Mr Sekulow said they were not looking into the question of pardons.
"We're not researching it, I haven't researched it because it's not an issue we're concerned with or dealing with," he told ABC.
He went on to say whether a president could pardon themselves remains an open question.
"With regard to the issue of a president pardoning himself, there's a big academic discussion going on right now," he added. "From a constitutional, legal perspective you can't dismiss it one way or the other."

Can you summarize this passage? | "What we need is sensible, realistic rules that do their job - no more, no less", said EU Commission First Vice-President Frans Timmermans.
He is known as Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker's "right-hand man".
Critics accuse the Commission of over-legislating, increasing business costs across the 28-nation bloc.
"Sometimes there's a tendency in Brussels to think 'I legislate therefore I am'. I want to change that, and focus on what Europe needs to do, not what would be nice to do", Mr Timmermans said.
He was speaking in London - and the UK government is among the most vociferous critics of EU bureaucracy.
Mr Timmermans, previously the Dutch Foreign Minister, said he was listening to the concerns of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) about EU regulations.
"I want a Europe that works for the little guy ... the big boys and girls can look after themselves very nicely. I want SMEs to feel the difference - to say, hey this actually works."
The Commission drafts EU laws, which then require approval by the EU governments (the Council) and European Parliament to take effect. The Commission also enforces the EU treaties, acting against infringements.
In December Mr Juncker presented a work programme for 2015 consisting of 23 new initiatives - about one-fifth the number put forward in some years by previous Commission heads.

Can you summarize the given article? | A judge at Birmingham Crown Court told Costco store manager Roger Cooper, 41, and ex-soldier David Cooper, 39, they must serve at least 30 years for killing 34-year-old Sameena Imam.
Ms Imam had been having a two-year affair with Roger Cooper and issued him with an ultimatum to leave his partner.
Her body was discovered buried in an allotment in Leicester in January.
An eight-week trial heard Roger Cooper spent at least a month plotting to kill Ms Imam - one of his three lovers - to prevent her exposing their affair.
The men bought poisonous metals, identified a shallow grave and communicated in text messages written in a Star Wars-based code before killing Ms Imam.
Ms Imam is believed to have been overpowered on a sofa at David Cooper's home in Leicester after being driven to the property from Coventry by his brother.
She was reported missing by family members in Essex after failing to return home for Christmas, sparking a major police inquiry.
Jailing the pair, Judge Patrick Thomas QC told the siblings: "The use of a poison in a case such as this demonstrates a cold-blooded intention to kill, regardless of the consequences.
"You worked together, hand in glove, in planning and carrying out the murder of a joyful and bubbly young woman, brutally betrayed by a man she loved and his brother."
After a jury returned unanimous guilty verdicts on Tuesday, the detective leading the murder hunt described the killing as "the most callous offence" she had ever investigated.
"Most murders that occur are spontaneous events driven by anger or jealousy, whereas in this case what we uncovered was weeks and weeks of planning to kill Sameena, numerous attempts on her life and a really unusual cause of death," said Det Chf Insp Caroline Marsh.
After the conviction, Ms Imam's family said nothing could have prepared them for discovering she had been murdered.
In a statement, her father Imam Din said: "As a family we are absolutely devastated at the loss of Sameena.

Can you provide an overview of this section? | Five years ago, IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn (DSK) was accused of attempted rape after his arrest on an Air France plane bound for Berlin, where he was due to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel to discuss the euro crisis, although the charges were later dropped.
Now the deputy speaker of the French assembly, the ecologist Denis Baupin, has had to resign after being accused by eight women from his party of sexual impropriety.
The timing of the accusations against Denis Baupin appears highly political, amid infighting within the Green Party.
It doesn't mean that the facts described by the accusers (including groping in dark corridors and sending salacious texts) did not take place, simply that the allegations may amount to nothing more than smears, especially as the facts date back more than three years and can no longer be tried under French law.
Denis Baupin, 53, is left having to sue his accusers for defamation to try to prove his innocence. He vigorously denies the allegations.
Radical left feminists such as Caroline de Haas and Clementine Autain claimed that "everybody had known about it for years".
But then why has nobody spoken up before, especially in the Green Party, where transparency is almost an ideology? Social media were quick on the case of Denis Baupin, but it felt more like the Inquisition than justice.
These allegations have thrust into the spotlight many different aspects of the problem of sexual harassment in France.
The DSK scandal was a watershed moment in contemporary France in that it allowed French women to talk and be heard on the subject of casual misogyny and everyday sexism that seem ingrained in French culture.
As a French woman born in the seventies, I was taught both Simone de Beauvoir and the art of gracefully enduring daily sexism, as long as it didn't go too far, but the limits were murky and never really explained to any of us.
Besides, when I started in journalism, the legal notion of sexual harassment, or for that matter moral harassment, was deemed a thing invented by the Americans to make human relations miserable.
I simply learnt quickly not to remain alone in the presence of certain older colleagues, to escape their groping with a smile and a joke, and to ignore their "declarations of love".
It usually worked and, after all, we were heirs of 18th-Century literary and artistic greats Marivaux and Fragonard - one had to abide by certain cultural, unwritten laws. I must say that I also benefited from the protection of older male and female colleagues who knew who the philanderers were.
With time, one developed a sophisticated radar. But for most of us, it is still a question of keeping out of the way of male-chauvinists rather than fighting them directly.
Perhaps it is because many of the "new feminists" who do take them on seem to "imply that women are by definition victims and men all predators", as the editor of Causeur magazine, Elizabeth Levy, put it.
"There have always been men, and women, abusing their power to obtain sexual favours," she argues. "But now, and because of a few fools, the whole male gender is incriminated. The new feminists say they want to free us from sexism, but what they really want is to invent a genderless and sexless world."
French society seems at a crossroads, torn between the desire to crack down on sexual harassment, move forward and free itself from a long tradition of male chauvinism - and the reluctance to start a gender war.

It also sets out plans to build 100,000 new homes across Scotland over the next five years.
And it includes a £1bn pledge to improve energy efficiency in homes.
The Conservatives have set their sights on replacing Labour as Holyrood's main opposition party on 5 May, with polls suggesting the SNP is on course for a third successive term in government.
Speaking as she launched the manifesto at an event in Glasgow, Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson said she knew the chances of her becoming first minister after the election were "next to nil" and that the SNP
But she insisted she was the "only one who can stand up to the SNP", and argued that Labour had had "nine years, six leaders, and no success in holding the SNP to account".
Instead, she said: "I seek to lead a strong opposition to the SNP. And this manifesto today sets out how.
"So it isn't a programme for government - it is a programme for that strong opposition. It sets out how we intend to challenge the SNP in the event that they are returned for a third term in office."
Ms Davidson claimed the SNP was "arrogantly passing bad laws" knowing Labour would complain but ultimately "bend the knee".
She said she would start a positive and "patient" campaign for Scotland to stay in the UK, with no more "Project Fear" tactics - a reference to criticism of methods used by the Better Together campaign ahead of the 2014 referendum.
Ms Davidson insisted there were no "so-called indyref triggers that justify another referendum", but admitted: "Too often we have failed to make the case for why our family of nations works.
"And the legacy from the referendum is that we on the pro-UK side have allowed 'No thanks' to be seen as a constant negative.
"If we are to counter the SNP's misinformation, this must change. The case for independence is dead. The case for the Union must now be made.
"Our aim must be clear - we want to listen, to learn and to convince people who voted to leave the United Kingdom that a Scotland within it can meet their aspirations and ambitions."
Ms Davidson also stated her belief that strong opposition leads to better government, and that her party could be a "new voice in the land".
Attendees might have been forgiven for thinking they had attended the launch of the Ruth Davidson Party.
The Scottish Conservatives clearly know their leader is popular, and a key selling point for them in May's election.
On the backdrop, on the lectern, projected on the walls and emblazoned on every manifesto - 'Ruth Davidson' was absolutely everywhere at the Tory manifesto launch, with the name of the party she leads noticeably more absent.
It might have looked more like a presidential campaign launch than a party one, but when Ms Davidson addressed her candidates and activists, she wasn't making a pitch for the top job in Scottish politics.
Whereas Kezia Dugdale insists she wants Nicola Sturgeon's chair, Ms Davidson is more eager to take the Labour leader's place at the head of the official opposition.
To that end, she was open about setting out a programme for opposition, rather than one for government.
Her opponents say this is simply a cop-out, to avoid having to come up with detailed plans for how Scotland would be run under a Tory government.
As for Ms Davidson, she might have had her eye on future sparring sessions at First Minister's Questions when she said she wouldn't "carp from the sidelines" - a favourite rebuttal of Ms Sturgeon's during recent Thursday encounters - but rather offer real scrutiny and alternatives to what she says will inevitably be an SNP administration.
The Conservative manifesto underlines the party's commitment to ensuring taxes in Scotland are no higher than elsewhere in the UK.
This a key fault line between the Tories and the other main Holyrood parties, who have all called for income tax rates to be increased to varying degrees once powers are handed to the Scottish Parliament next year.
The manifesto also pledges to scrap the Scottish government's controversial named person scheme, with Ms Davidson predicting opponents of the scheme would "win ground" over the summer.
It commits the party to opposing a second referendum on independence over the course of the next parliament.
And it opposes the current policies of free university tuition - instead favouring a graduate contribution system - and free prescriptions, with the Conservatives proposing a gradual reintroduction of charges.
Ms Davidson said warm housing should be a key priority for the Scottish government, with her party calling for £1bn of funding to go towards meeting a fresh target for every home to have an energy efficiency rating of "C" or better by the end of the decade.
The Conservatives said more than six in 10 homes in Scotland are ranked average or worse in energy efficiency, which Ms Davidson said was adding hundreds of pounds to energy bills.
Speaking ahead of the launch event, the Tory leader said: "We believe that making every home a warm home should be one of the Scottish government's key priorities for infrastructure over the next five years.
"A real focus on this would cut fuel poverty, increase jobs, and would do so much to help us meet our carbon reduction obligations.
"It's an example of the kind of positive contribution we want to make to Scotland over the next five years."

"They're two quality additions," head coach Lee Radford said.
Challenge Cup holders Hull FC, who face Wigan in the final of the competition on 26 August after beating Leeds 43-24 in Saturday's semi-final, take on Salford Red Devils their opening Super 8s game on Friday.
Radford said the club has tried "on a few occasions" to recruit Faraimo.
"We were in for him when we signed Mahe Fonua, but he ended up going to Parramatta," Radford said. "I'm over the moon to have finally got him.
"Mickey is someone who knows the squad really well and Bureta will add a lot too."
The chancellor said market volatility meant it was not sensible to attempt to sell the multi-billion pound stake it still owns to members of the public.
The shares will now be sold via a "trading plan" - small tranches of shares sold to institutional investors.
Philip Hammond said the private sale would ensure the taxpayer recovered the "full investment" made in the bank.
He said that £17bn of the £20bn invested by the government, when it bailed out the bank during the financial crisis, had already been sold back to the market.
"We need to recover the taxpayers' money," Mr Hammond said, saying that he wanted Lloyds to be fully back in the private sector.
"The proceeds of the Lloyds bank sale - the priority is to turn those assets into cash and use those to reduce debt," Mr Hammond said.
He said that the sale of the government's stake in the Royal Bank of Scotland was "not practical at the moment" whilst the bank was under the threat of fines from the Department of Justice in America and was struggling to sell its Williams and Glyn branch network.

Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound, the Clyde manager added: "That's not with the staff. They are fine. It's with the fans.
"Obviously it goes back to the days of what happened with (Ian) Durrant.
"I always found it a very difficult place to go and especially now with Del (manager Derek McInnes) being there, I watched their game against Dundee, and they are back firing.
"They are looking good. The front three I really like - Hayes, McGinn and Rooney are always looking a threat.
"It is going to be a tough game."
Mark Warburton's side have come in for criticism for their performances since promotion to the Premiership, which culminated in a 5-1 hammering at rivals Celtic in their recent league outing.
Ferguson believes his old Ibrox team-mate McInnes will have his Aberdeen players primed for the visit of Rangers, but thinks Rangers could exploit weaknesses in the Dons defence.
He said: "The only problem I have with Aberdeen is that defensively they don't look great, but going forward they are a major threat.
"So it is a massive game next weekend. It is a very hostile place to go and it boils down to what happened with Durranty - it has always been like that.
"I know Del really well - obviously I played with him - and I really like the way he is setting his teams up, his signing policy.
"He's not got a lot of money to play about with, but he's got some real good players.
"I really like the look of the boy he's brought in from Norwich, the midfielder (James) Maddison - he looks a player.

Summarize the content given in the passage. | German Shepherd Nero, six, jumped over railings in Watford which, unknown to his handler, had a 12ft (3.5m) drop on the other side. He "landed badly".
A little over a week later, Nero is expected to return home this weekend.
"Given time, with the right rest and care, Nero should be able to make a full recovery," police said.
The dog was with handler PC Clive Warncken of the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire dog unit, when the accident happened in the early hours of Thursday 21 July.
Nero had been called in to track four people, suspected of assaulting a woman aged in her 30s, before making off with her handbag.
"Nero was immediately taken to a vet where it was discovered he had sustained two fractures to his neck," a police spokesman said.
"The next few days are crucial for Nero who was injured doing what he loved, servicing his community and tracking down baddies," the dog's unit wrote on Twitter.
Dozens of police forces and members of the public sent messages of support after seeing the post shortly after Nero's accident.
"Nero has been examined by an expert and a treatment plan, primarily consisting of rest and medication, has been devised. He will be closely monitored and, given time, with the right rest and care, Nero should be able to make a full recovery," a police spokesman said.
Sergeant Cray Birch from the BCH dog unit said they were "continuing to support his handler at this difficult time and wish Nero the fullest and speediest of recoveries."
The estimated £4.3bn cost of the initiative would be paid back over time by the taxes paid by those who settle in Britain, he said.
The government said it would accept 20,000 Syrian refugees by 2020 - but Labour said the figure was inadequate and urged ministers to do more.

"For all that we focus on Brexit, and lots of other things as well, the biggest humanitarian crisis facing our continent is still going on and Britain is turning its back and pretending it's not happening," he said.
"If you show confidence in people and give them sanctuary they become very loyal citizens.
"We are only talking about 50,000 people. We are talking about doing what is right."

The former Army major and helicopter pilot has not stopped smiling all day. Here's his amazing journey - in pictures:
The fungus, which dates back 440 million years, spent its life under the ground rotting down matter.
Even the scientist who analysed it - Dr Martin Smith - admits it is a ''humble little fungus''.
But the pioneer, known as Tortotubus, could help explain how early life colonised the rocky barren Earth.
Most scientists agree that life moved from the sea to the land between 500 and 450 million years ago.
But in order for plants and animals to gain a foothold on terra firma there needed to be nutrients and soil to support them.
Fungi kick-started this process, by getting nitrogen and oxygen into the rudimentary soil.
Dr Smith says there were probably bacteria and algae already on land - but these are rarely preserved in the fossil record.
This makes Tortotubus probably the oldest fossil of a land-dwelling organism yet to be found.
Dr Smith told BBC News: ''It's the first fossil of an organism that only lived on land.
''It would have broken down dead, decayed material - essentially rotted it.''
The fossilised fungus has been found in many locations, including Sweden and Scotland.
Each microfossil is shorter than a human hair is wide and has a rope-like structure similar to that of some modern-day fungi.
Scientists think that early fungi contributed to soil formation and the rotting process, thereby paving the way for flowering plants and trees, then animals.
''During the period when this organism existed, life was almost entirely restricted to the oceans: nothing more complex than simple mossy and lichen-like plants had yet evolved on the land,'' said Dr Smith, who carried out the research at the University of Cambridge but is now based at Durham University.
''But before there could be flowering plants or trees, or the animals that depend on them, the processes of rot and soil formation needed to be established.''
The research is published in the Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.

Cwmbran-based MDS Recycling was ordered to pay £45,000 plus £3,207 costs at Cwmbran Magistrates' Court.
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service brought the case after a visit by safety officers in July 2014.
The company faced nine charges, with prosecutors saying staff were at risk of death if a fire started.
An MDS Recycling spokesman said the firm regretted what happened and it currently complies with all regulations.
The company was visited at its Avondale Industrial Estate base as part of a risk-based inspection programme.
The court was told one fire exit was completely blocked by stacked recycled material, and the only other one available had LPG cylinders and combustibles stored by it.
Other offences included storing waste materials and LPG Cylinders inappropriately at the site.
It was also found the site was not fitted with an appropriate working fire alarm system or any emergency lighting.
The maximum fine of £5,000 was imposed for each offence.

Can you provide a summary of this content? | The US tech giant sold 40.4 million iPhones in its third quarter, slightly above forecasts of 40.02 million.
Apple chief executive Tim Cook said the results reflected "stronger customer demand... than we anticipated".
The firm said it expected sales to fall again in the fourth quarter to between $45.5bn (£34bn; €41.4bn) and $47.5bn.
Demand for Apple's flagship product has been slowing since the second quarter when the firm reported the first drop in iPhone sales since their 2007 launch.
The iPhone makes up for around two-thirds of Apple's sales and accounts for even more of its profits.
The slowdown in iPhone sales sent profit down 27% to $7.8bn in the three months to 25 June, while revenues fell 14.6% to $42.4bn.
Apple's sales in Greater China - defined by the company as China, Hong Kong and Taiwan - plunged 33%.
The firm blamed economic uncertainty and people not upgrading their phones as often for the drop.
China accounts for almost a quarter of Apple's sales, more than all of Europe combined.
"It is very clear that there are some signs of economic slowdown in China, and we will have to work through them.
"We understand China well and we remain very, very optimistic about the future there," said Apple chief financial officer Luca Maestri.
Results were also hit by the impact of a stronger dollar.
Nonetheless, shares, which have fallen almost 20% over the past year, rose over 7% in after-hours trading because the firm's overall performance was not as bad as analysts had expected.
Mr Maestri said comparisons to the second quarter last year, when iPhone 6 sales surged 35%, made its performance seem worse than it was.
He also pointed to its services business, which includes the App Store, Apple Pay, iCloud and other services, as a bright spot.
The division made nearly $6bn in revenue, up 18.9% from the same time last year, and is now the firm's second-largest sales generator after the iPhone.
The shift is good news for the firm because it allows it to make more money from its existing users.
It reported a pre-tax profit of £7.5m for the 24 weeks to 18 May, following a loss last year of £3.8m.
Gross sales in the period were £442.4m, up 15.6% from a year earlier.
Ocado chief executive Tim Steiner said the launch of its tie-up with Morrisons had been "particularly encouraging".
Ocado formed a multi-million pound partnership with the UK's fourth largest supermarket last year, which resulted in Morrisons starting its own door-to-door delivery service in January.
The Morrisons deal should pave the way for more such agreements to commercialise the value of Ocado's intellectual property, Tim Steiner said.
Ocado has not made an annual pre-tax profit since it was founded in 2000, but analysts have been forecasting one for this year of about £16m.
While the UK's mainstream supermarkets are seeing their sales squeezed by discount chains, the online grocery delivery market has suffered less of an impact.
Ocado's specialist online pet store, Fetch, which was rolled out last year, was doing well and sales of Ocado's own-label range were up over 50%, Mr Steiner said.
The company is planning to launch another specialist site, for kitchen and homewares in the second half of 2014, Sizzle.co.uk.
It will also begin work on a third warehouse facility, in Andover, Hampshire, if planning approval is granted. The new facility will be smaller than its existing distribution centres in Hertfordshire and North Warwickshire and will not be used for Morrisons' products. | Apple has reported a second consecutive quarter of falling iPhone sales, but the 15% drop was not as bad as analysts had feared.

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Your child's headteacher, along with the governing body, is at the sharp end of filling empty jobs.
So no wonder that at many schools heads tell me it's near the top of their worry list.
Despairing of the impact of traditional job ads, they are taking to social media and eyeing up talent they might poach from other schools.
Some are trying to grow their own, by recruiting likely candidates into teaching assistant posts and then coaxing them to train.
Others are sidling up to promising departing sixth formers to ask if they might want to come back to do some volunteering at the school while weighing up career options at university.
But ultimately the MPs on the influential Public Accounts Committee are in no doubt the buck stops with the government.
And yet their report, just published, describes a remarkable lack of reliable data to really tell officials what is going on.
Part of the problem has been the gulf between national statistics showing a very low vacancy level of 0.3% and what is happening on the ground in some parts of England.
When term starts there has to be someone in front of the class even if it is a temporary, or agency teacher.
So the vacancy statistic tells us nothing about who is teaching, how good they are or whether they're just a short-term solution.
It took some time for the government to stop pointing to this statistic, and admit that schools in some areas were experiencing something rather different.
There are more ways than ever before to train as a teacher in England, with an increasing shift to more being based in schools rather than universities.
They vary from the extremely niche, such as Troops to Teachers, to the main Schools Direct programme where a school can act as a training hub for its area.
It can be confusing to navigate if you're thinking of becoming a teacher and, for the last four years, not enough people have been recruited to meet the numbers needed.
The government is now planning to track trainees into the workforce, but for the moment there is little solid evidence of how the different training routes are working.
The same is true of the bursaries which are aimed at enticing graduates in shortage subjects into a teaching career.
As science graduates can go into well paid jobs, it's not unreasonable to think financial incentives might make a difference.
After all, a £30,000 tax-free bursary while you train is quite a good offer.
What the MPs are asking for is better evidence the public money being spent is delivering a long-term payback.
It's not that the government is doing nothing, rather that it's doing many things without, the MPs suggest, being able to prove what works best.
The government has promised to make sure there are enough talented teachers recruited, wherever they're needed.

The study tracked more than 200,000 Australian smokers and non-smokers above the age of 45 over six years.
Mortality risk went up with cigarette use, BMC Medicine reports.
Smoking 10 cigarettes a day doubled the risk, while 20-a-day smokers were four to five times more likely to die.
Although someone who smokes could lead a long life, their habit makes this less likely.
Smoking increases the risk of a multitude of health problems, including heart disease and cancer.
Cancer Research UK currently advises that half of all long-term smokers eventually die from cancer or other smoking-related illnesses.
But recent evidence suggests the figure may be higher.
Newer studies in UK women, British doctors and American Cancer Society volunteers have put the figure at up to 67%, says Prof Emily Banks, lead author of the Australian study.
"We knew smoking was bad, but we now have direct independent evidence that confirms the disturbing findings that have been emerging internationally.
"Even with the very low rates of smoking that we have in Australia, we found that smokers have around threefold the risk of premature death of those who have never smoked. We also found smokers will die an estimated 10 years earlier than non-smokers," she said.
George Butterworth, tobacco policy manager at Cancer Research UK, said: "It's a real concern that the devastation caused by smoking may be even greater than we previously thought.
"Earlier research has shown, as a conservative estimate, one in two long-term smokers die from smoking-related diseases in the UK, but these new Australian figures show a higher risk.
"Smoking habits differ between Australia and the UK [in terms of] how much people smoke and the age they start, so we can't conclude that the two-in-three figure necessarily applies to the UK."
In Australia, about 13% of adults smoke. In the UK, the figure is about 20%.
Stopping smoking can bring a person's health risks back down.

"It is one of the 38 matches we have to play but, for the fans, it is unbelievably big as a rivalry," said Van Gaal, 63, who said assistant manager and United's appearance record holder Ryan Giggs had left him in no doubt about the fixture's importance.
''I have felt that, also with a lot of the players in the squad but especially with Ryan Giggs," the Dutchman said before his first Manchester derby.
''He presented the analysis of Manchester City, and I felt more tension with him. It was good to see that."
United brought in six new players this season at a cost of £150m, including Angel Di Maria for a British record £59.7m and Van Gaal believes they can match City's impressive galaxy of talent.
"I am not jealous of the squad of Manchester City," he said. "I am proud of my players and that is the most important thing and when we play like a team then we have a big chance to win."
Legendary former striker Denis Law, who had two spells at City between 1960-61 and 1973-74 either side of an 11-year stint at United (1962-73), says the potential return of captain Wayne Rooney to United's starting line-up after suspension would be a "massive boost" for the Red Devils.
And the 74-year-old thinks Rooney will overtake him on the list of all-time goalscorers at Old Trafford this season, before he climbs to the top of the pile.
England forward Rooney, who has 219 goals for United, is now only 18 goals short of Law (237), who is second behind 249-goal Sir Bobby Charlton.
"I am sure he can pass it this season," Law said. "And if he stays away from injuries he will be the highest scorer in Manchester United's history.

Despite not breaking any bones, the injury could force Wilson to miss the European Championships in April.
He was part of Team GB's best ever Olympic gymnastics performance, the squad winning seven medals in Brazil.

Summarize the following excerpt. | The mid-point net income of all households in the UK was up 3% after inflation.
That meant average income before housing costs reached £473 per week - around £24,600 a year, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said.
This income had fallen during the financial crisis.
There was little change in the gap between rich and poor, as has been the case since 2011-12, the figures showed.
However, the data revealed that on one measure child poverty had increased, and in two other measures it was unchanged in 2014-15 compared with the previous year.
"Child poverty isn't inevitable - the government needs to invest in our children so we can all share the rewards of a stronger economy and a fairer society," said Alison Garnham, chief executive of Child Poverty Action Group.
Work and Pensions Secretary Stephen Crabb said: "There is of course still more to do and that is why our Life Chances Strategy will look at the root causes of poverty whether that is worklessness, debt or addiction, family breakdown or educational attainment. It is only by doing this that we can truly tackle poverty and ensure everyone succeeds in life." | The average income in the UK moved above its 2009-10 peak in 2014-15, official figures show, owing to a rise in the number of people in work. |

It will feature only three of the top 10 players in the Race to Dubai.
"There's a lot of scaremongering," said 45-year-old Irishman Harrington.
That was a big factor cited in not going to Rio, safety reasons, and how wrong were they there?
"They have to put more security in and pay attention, but is it more dangerous here than anywhere else? I'm not sure."
The leading 70 players in the Race to Dubai were eligible for the Turkish Airlines Open starting on Thursday, but the withdrawals mean the field goes down as far as Sweden's Pelle Edberg, who is ranked 102nd.
Harrington, who is 43rd in the standings, said he encountered no problems when he played at the 2016 Rio Olympics, amid fears of the Zika virus, and in Northern Ireland, during the Troubles.
"That was a big factor cited in not going to Rio, safety reasons, and how wrong were they there?" he said.
"I've tended to travel and play around the world because I did it in the late 80s and early 90s in Ireland and we had our troubles in Ireland.
"I played a lot of golf in Northern Ireland during that period and I remember other golfers from down south saying 'you're mad going up there'.
"You couldn't convince people who hadn't gone there and experienced it for themselves that it was a great place to go."

Townsend, who replaces the departing Vern Cotter in May, will lead the side on their three-match tour in June.
After the Italy game, which will be the first tier one international played in Singapore, Scotland face Australia in Sydney and Fiji in Suva.
"This time will be invaluable for our coaching team as we strive to further improve the squad," Townsend said.
Dominic McKay, Scottish Rugby chief operating officer, said: "Our first Test in Singapore sees the continuation of our long-term objective of further-globalising the Scottish Rugby brand in Asia-Pacific, as part of an exciting summer tour to the southern hemisphere for the Scotland team."
The three Tests will be played on consecutive Saturdays, with Italy on 10 June, Australia seven days later and Fiji on 24 June.
The second Test takes Scotland to Australia for the first time since 2012, when captain Greig Laidlaw kicked a match-winning penalty to secure a 9-6 triumph, the team's first win down under since 1982.
More than 30 staff will lose their jobs when the Mount Murray Hotel and Country Club in Santon closes after 20 years on 6 February.
Managing Director David Lyons said all staff were informed on Thursday.
The Mount Murray was developed by island-based tycoon Albert Gubay in the 1990s.
According to Mr Lyons the golf club will remain open for business but the hotel and leisure club will close.
A hotel spokeswoman said anyone with gym memberships will be refunded and those who have booked wedding functions will be contacted to discuss "alternative arrangements".
The November 2013 fire caused millions of pounds worth of damage.
A witness living on the Mount Murray estate said: "It went up like an inferno."

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | Samir Hussain said covering his face with his hands saved his sight but he was left unable to fully close one eye.
The 28-year-old, who is backing calls for controls on the sale of corrosive substances, said he felt the acid "eating away" at his face.
He now wears a facial mask and said customers at the Kent shopping centre where he works often ask what happened.
"I work in a public-facing role and it is something I talk about on a daily basis," said Mr Hussain, who works in Tunbridge Wells.
He must wear the mask all day and night for at least 18 months as part of his treatment following the attack at Cineworld in Crawley, West Sussex in September.
"When it was thrown, automatic reaction was to raise my hands and cover my face," he said.
"So luckily my eyesight was saved, although my eyelid does not close properly any more.
"When it hit my face it was a cold shock and that's when you feel the acid actually eating away at your flesh."
Mr Hussain, from Redhill, Surrey, is backing calls for controls on the sale of corrosive substances such as sulphuric acid, battery acid, and powerful drain cleaners.
James Berry, Conservative MP for Kingston and Surbiton, wants people buying dangerous substances to have to pay by credit or debit card so their details are recorded.
He says anyone buying the most concentrated substances should need a licence.
It follows an acid attack in Southampton, also in September last year, which left Carla Whitlock scarred and blind in one eye.
The Home Office said sulphuric acid was a reportable explosive precursor, meaning sellers must report suspicious purchases to the police.
"We are working with retailers to identify the best means of restricting sales of products with a high acidic content," said a spokesman.

Can you summarize the following information? | At the same time, it unveiled plans to raise another $8bn by bringing back an unpopular financial transactions tax that was abolished eight years ago.
The government is struggling to pull the country's economy out of recession.
It has also been hurt by the slump in President Dilma Rousseff's public approval rating, which is now just 8%.
The measures were announced at a news conference by Finance Minister Joaquim Levy and Planning Minister Nelson Barbosa.
They include reducing the number of government ministries from 39 to 29, as well as cutting 1,000 public-sector jobs and freezing the pay of remaining state employees.
Mr Levy said the axe would fall on some big public infrastructure projects. But projects designed to benefit poorer Brazilians, such as the social housing programme Minha Casa Minha Vida (My House My Life), will also be hit.
Analysts were unimpressed with the package, saying it was unlikely to do much to restore the public finances to health.
"We're left with the impression that the government is now scraping the barrel in an effort to plug its budget hole," said Neil Shearing, chief emerging markets economist at Capital Economics.
"Indeed, the latest measures reveal more about the impotence of the government in being able to constrain spending than anything else."
Brazil's economy has been depressed by the end of the global commodities boom, while a corruption scandal centred on state oil giant Petrobras has damaged investor confidence.
President Rousseff's critics also accuse her of policy mistakes during her first term, including interventions in the energy market and a failure to bring inflation under control.
But many supporters of her left-wing Workers' Party have revolted against her newfound attempts at austerity, with the MST land-reform movement accusing her of having adopted a "neo-liberal" programme at odds with her election promises.
Last week, Brazil lost its investment-grade credit rating following a downgrade by Standard & Poor's to "junk" status.
The US rating agency said mounting political turmoil and the difficulties faced by President Dilma Rousseff's government in tackling growing debt was behind the decision.

Man City keeper Marie Hourihan then saved brilliantly from Millie Turner's downward header from a set-piece, before Toni Duggan, Parris and Georgia Stanway missed chances to extend the visitors' lead at the other end.
On the stroke of half-time, Scotland forward Claire Emslie's low finish drew Bristol City level.

Northampton Borough Council decided to extend a suspension on the licence for a further 21 days on Friday.
The fight, which involved 50 or 60 people, took place in the early hours of 12 December.
A suspension on the licence of NU Bar, which was also involved in the incident, has been lifted.
The council considered the two licenses separately in a private meeting, with evidence presented by Northamptonshire Police.
The licensing sub-committee decided NU Bar could open with changes to its licensing conditions, including needing to give police 14 days notice of any external promoted event.

Mrs Fualaau was a married 34-year-old mother of four when she began a relationship with him.
After she had served her prison term, the pair married in secret in 2005.
Mr Fualaau filed for separation early this month without stating the reason for his decision, it has emerged.
In the petition, he writes that neither he nor his wife own any property or have debts, US media report.

It comes after South West Trains announced the launch of a new fleet of trains with free wifi, wider doors and air conditioning.
Waterloo's peak time capacity will rise by 30%, say Network Rail.
The work programme will mean taking eight platforms out of service during August 2017, with "significant changes" to services.

"This is the biggest package of improvements for passengers travelling to and from Waterloo for decades. It will provide passengers with a better station, extra seats and new trains," said Sir Peter Hendy, the chairman of Network Rail.
"And let's face it, this is not before time. Since 1996, the numbers of passengers on routes into Waterloo have more than doubled."

Children use their computers for more than an hour a day, researchers say.
The study showed YouTube was the most popular destination.
Jackie Marsh of the University of Sheffield said parents needed to check the appropriateness of what their infant children were using online.
The study revealed the widespread use of tablet computers among toddlers, averaging an hour and 19 minutes on weekdays and slightly longer at weekends.
Most were able to use touchscreens to control the computer and were using them to play games, watch television, films and online videos.
The Economic and Social Research Council-funded project examined computer use in 2,000 families with one or more tablet computers - and found that 31% of under-fives had their own device.
"It may seem surprising that in homes with a tablet, nearly a third of under-fives have their own device," said Lydia Plowman of the University of Edinburgh.
"But when parents upgrade their tablet, many pass on their older model to their children. Budget models are also popular gifts."
The study also involved the collaboration of the BBC's CBeebies service for young children - and CBeebies was found to be one of the most popular apps for this age group.
Other popular online services and games were Disney, Angry Birds, Minecraft and Candy Crush.
Prof Marsh, from the University of Sheffield's school of education, said that parents needed to watch out for games or apps that are not "age-appropriate" or which do not offer much value for such pre-school children.
She also warned about the adverts and pop-up links that can come with apps and websites.
"The study showed that the use of apps on tablets by pre-schoolers can be very productive and foster a wide range of play and creativity. However, apps need to be chosen carefully by parents for this age group."
A previous Ofcom study, published earlier this year, had shown that tablet computers were particularly popular with families with children - and among the 5 to 15-year-old age group, 71% of children had access to a tablet device at home.
Earps, 21, became the first signing for Vixens manager Dave Edmondson in March and made 19 appearances in all competitions last season.

Write a summary of this document. | The Kaesong Industrial Complex (KIC) is located inside North Korea just across the demilitarised zone from South Korea. The project was launched in 2004, largely financed by the South to increase co-operation.
It is one of the last remaining points of peaceful engagement between North and South Korea, and is often seen as an indicator of relations between them.
South Korea has said the purpose of the KIC was to develop an industrial park where South Korean companies could manufacture their products using North Korean labour.
It argued that would help North Korea start to reform its economy, which is in a dire state, and ease tensions between the two Koreas.
It was also seen as a way to encourage companies to keep production local rather than moving to China or other low-wage countries.
Although it is a private venture, run by Hyundai Asan, part of the Hyundai Group, and the Korea Land Corporation (also a South Korean company), both governments are involved in the initiative.
Companies have been given incentives by the South Korean government to move operations there, including political risk insurance to cover losses in their investment.
All the goods made there are exported to South Korea for sale.
The KIC is a duty-free zone, and there are no restrictions on the use of foreign currency or credit cards. No visa is required to enter the complex.
A total of 124 companies currently operate in the KIC from industries including clothing and textiles, car parts and semiconductors.
Some 54,000 North Korean workers are employed there as well as hundreds of South Korean workers, according to the Unification Ministry in Seoul. It is the biggest contributor to inter-Korean trade.
If all the stages of development are completed as planned, it will eventually be half the size of Manhattan Island and will house shopping and residential areas, as well as tourism and recreation.
South Korean companies pay about $100m (£69m) a year in wages to North Korean workers in the KIC, according to Yonhap news agency.
The project as a whole has contributed almost $2bn in trade for North Korea, according to the Reuters news agency.
However, if the project is threatened, South Korea also stands to lose.
The government would be liable for hundreds of millions of dollars in insurance payments to the South Korean companies that use the complex.
Yes. In April 2013, the North shut down the complex for more than four months, after heightened tensions sparked by military drills by Seoul and Washington.
Similarly in 2009, North Korean authorities imposed a number of restrictions on the KIC after US-South Korean military drills. Entry into KIC was shut for several days and hundreds of South Korean workers were effectively trapped.
Some observers attribute a decline in production for the year to this incident. The restrictions were later relaxed, the border re-opened and demands that investors increase wages were dropped.
However, for the most part the KIC has continued to operate and expand despite the frequent flare-ups of tension on the peninsula.
It was not shut down in 2010, despite two violent incidents. A South Korean naval vessel, the Cheonan, was sunk in disputed waters, killing 46 sailors. Seoul says a North Korean torpedo sank the ship, but Pyongyang denies any role in the incident.
Late in 2010, North Korean artillery units fired shells onto and around Yeonpyeong Island in disputed waters. Four South Koreans were killed, including two civilians.
It was the first direct artillery attack since the 1950-1953 Korean war. South Korea responded by shooting shells at North Korea. | South Korea has suspended operations at a jointly run industrial park in North Korea following the North's recent rocket launch and nuclear test. |

He was a founder member of language promotion body Menter Cwm Gwendraeth; vice-president of Dolen Cymru Lesotho, which helps orphans in the southern Africa kingdom; and an ambassador for the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.
Mr Francis said: "John had not been well for a while but, like most things in his life, he fought hard to maintain his usual high level of passion and commitment.
"He will be sorely missed here at the garden where the impact of his unstinting efforts and hard work, over many years, cannot be underestimated."
Born in Abergynolwyn in Gwynedd, Mr Ellis, a widower, leaves two children and six grandchildren.
Since Westley, 48, took charge in October the Exiles' form has improved.
Newport are eight points off the play-off places, but Westley has issued his players with an ambitious challenge.
"We can look at sixth place and think two or three weeks down the line it's realistic we can put ourselves in contention," said Westley.
"That will be a nice starting point. If we can get to Christmas time and we are in the mix, that's a nice point to be at.
"I've won promotion out of this league from 18th in January, so we all know what's possible."
The Exiles are unbeaten in their last six games, a sequence that has seen them beat AFC Wimbledon in the Checkatrade Trophy and progress to the second round of the FA Cup after a replay against Alfreton.
In the league there has been a draw with Barnet, victory over Accrington Stanley and an impressive three points taken from Carlisle, who were unbeaten at the time.
But, with his sights set so high and a trip to eighth-placed Notts County coming on Saturday, Westley insists keeping the current run going will not be enough to satisfy him.
"We want to improve what we are doing, that's the key," he added.
"If you get into the frame of mind where you want to keep things going, you've lost the plot and are on the road backwards. The route forward has to be improvement.
"We've got a lot of work to do, we don't underestimate it, right now we are producing decent form, but we have to produce that form on a sustained basis if we are going to mount any sort of campaign." | John Gwyndaf Ellis, vice-chairman of the board of trustees at the National Botanic Garden of Wales, has died.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Dogs were not allowed on the beach from May to September but the council extended the ban, which now lasts from Easter until the end of October.
Weymouth Borough Council said the decision was taken after a public consultation.
But protesters say 63% of respondents wanted the dates to stay as they were.
About 200 dog owners and their pets descended on a dog exercise area near the pavilion on Sunday afternoon to protest against the Public Space Protection Order.
More than 1,000 people have also signed a petition to have the changes revoked.
Judi Moore, who started the petition, said: "I do not see how dogs on the beach are an evil nuisance now when they were a welcome adjunct to the town's attractions last year.
"I think not to allow dogs is a retrograde step. This is the English Riviera, not the Mediterranean. Nobody is going to be sitting on the beach in bare feet and a swimming cossie in April and October - it's not sane."
The council said nearly 1,700 people responded to a public consultation about the changes with about a quarter of people wanting a year-round ban.
Councillor Richard Kosior, chairman of the council's Policy Development Committee, said: "We would like to reassure the public that the correct information from the consultation results was taken into account when the Policy Development Committee made a decision to extend the ban."
Community protection councillor Francis Drake said: "Members were aware that the majority of respondents wanted the dates to stay the same. However, after taking the consultation results into consideration, the Policy Development Committee made the decision to extend the ban."
The pair announced the news "with great sadness" in a statement on Twitter, but said they remained "great friends".
"After many exciting adventures together over the last 18 years we have come to the end of our rainbow," the pair said.
BBC Radio 2 DJ Ball and Cook married in 1999 and have two children together.
In the statement, they said: "We are still great friends and will continue to support each other and raise our beautiful children together, living next door but one."
The couple, who live in Brighton, East Sussex, had their first child, Woody, in 2000.
They announced they were to separate in 2003, but reconciled, and had their second child, Nelly, in 2010.
Ball, 45, is best known as a former BBC Radio 1 breakfast show host and currently hosts Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two.
Cook, 53, is a former member of the band the Housemartins and under his pseudonym Fatboy Slim enjoyed success with songs including Praise You; Right Here, Right Now; and Weapon of Choice.
Georgina Jones, 92, from Dolwyddelan, has been awarded the BEM.
"Receiving the honour was a shock and a surprise when I had the letter," she told BBC Wales.
"I've been in the church all my life, playing in three or four services on Sundays. The church was my life."

The episode was first broadcast in October 2014 on Channel 5 but the error has only recently been spotted.
Mattel apologised and said it did not believe it was done "maliciously".
Channel 5, which broadcasts Fireman Sam, has removed the episode from its website.

He also said he had identified the page from the Koran as "Surah Mulk (67), verses 13-26".

"We have no reason to believe it was done maliciously."
In a statement, Mattel said: "The page was intended to show illegible text and we deeply regret this error.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | State Prosecutor Marilyn Mosby announced the revised charges on Thursday, but the most serious charges - including second-degree murder - remained.
Gray suffered a severe spinal cord injury in police custody in April and died a week later.
His death sparked weeks of protests and later riots and looting in Baltimore.
"As is often the case, during an ongoing investigation, charges can and should be revised based upon the evidence," Ms Mosby said.
The grand jury did not return charges on the false imprisonment charges that were brought against some of the officers.
Ms Mosby brought the false imprisonment charges earlier claiming that Gray's arrest was unjustified and illegal.
However, the grand jury did return new reckless endangerment charges that were not part of the original charges announced three weeks ago.
Ms Mosby has said that Gray's neck was broken while he was being handcuffed and placed into a police van. She also said that police repeatedly ignored his pleas for medical attention.
The officers are scheduled to appear in court on 2 July.
A lawyer for the six Baltimore police officers said they "did nothing wrong", after criminal charges were announced by Ms Mosby earlier this month.
Lawyer Michael Davey said the officers "at all times acted reasonably and in accordance with their training" and accused Ms Mosby of an "egregious rush to judgement".
"As all of the facts surrounding this case come out in the appropriate form, the officers' lack of wrongdoing will be made abundantly clear."
He also said that the defence team had "grave concerns about the fairness and integrity of the prosecution of our officers".
Ms Mosby rejected a police union request to step aside and appoint a special prosecutor to handle the case.
The grand jury's decision to bring charges largely similar to Ms Mosby's may quiet calls for her to step aside.
Gray's death is the latest in a string of high-profile cases in the US where unarmed black men have died after contact with the police.

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | The Canadian, Norwegian and Filipino hostages are being held by Abu Sayyaf, Islamist militant separatists who last week beheaded Canadian John Ridsdel.
In the video, the hostages say if the demands are not met "we will be executed like our friend John".
Abu Sayyaf has previously demanded a multi-million dollar ransom.
The Philippines and Canadian government have said they will not give in to ransom demands. The Philippines has also launched a military operation against the militant group.
Who are the Abu Sayyaf group?
Canadian PM's outrage over hostage killing
Mr Ridsdel was kidnapped from a marina near the city of Davao last September along with another Canadian, Robert Hall, his Filipina partner Marites Flor, and Kjartan Sekkingstad, a Norwegian.
They were taken to an Abu Sayyaf stronghold of the remote island of Jolo where Mr Ridsdel was killed on 25 April after a ransom deadline passed.
Founded in 1991, the Islamist terrorist and separatist group Abu Sayyaf is believed to have only a few hundred armed followers but it has managed to survive numerous assaults by the Philippine army, aided by US military trainers.
Since 2014, when its commanders started swearing allegiance to so-called Islamic State, Abu Sayyaf has intensified its drive to kidnap hostages for multi-million dollar ransoms, mimicking the practices of Islamist terror groups in the Middle East by issuing hostage plea videos with threats of beheading.
In the past, one of the most successful, if controversial, hostage mediations was carried out in 2000 by the late Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi, when he bought the freedom of six western hostages for a reported million dollars a head.
The large sums of money involved both then and since have led to accusations that Abu Sayyaf are really more interested in money than religion but their link to IS, however tenuous, appears to have only increased their fanaticism.
The new video, reported on Tuesday by the SITE Intelligence Group which monitors jihadist media, showed the three hostages with six gunmen standing behind them.
A masked militant warns Canada and the Philippines that the three remaining hostages would be killed "if you procrastinate once again".
Mr Hall is shown saying the governments were being ordered to "meet the demand" of the kidnappers, without giving further details.
He also asked the Philippines government to "stop shooting at us and trying to kill us. These guys are going to do a good job of that."
Mr Sekkingstad says that "if the demand is not met we will be executed like our friend John was a few days ago".
Ms Flor is seen pleading with several Philippines officials and candidates in the upcoming national election, saying "we want to be freed alive", the AFP news agency reports.
Abu Sayyaf is a fragmented but violent militant group with its roots in the Islamist separatist insurgency in the southern Philippines. Several of its factions have aligned themselves with the so-called Islamic State.
It has repeatedly taken hostages over the years but has often released them in exchange for ransoms.
On Sunday, the group released 10 Indonesian sailors they had been holding for five weeks.
It is still holding several captives, including a group of eight Malaysians and Indonesians seized from boats and a Dutch birdwatcher taken in 2012. | Three hostages being held by militants in the Philippines have appeared in a video pleading for their governments to meet the captors' demands. |

What is the summary of the following article? | Jordan Palmer admits killing Terrence Ojuederie, 42, in their cell at HMP Peterborough but denies it was murder.
The court heard Mr Palmer, 26, may have taken the synthetic cannabis drug Spice before the attack and his defence said it may have been taken involuntarily.
He was swaying when his cellmate was found on the floor, the trial heard.
Prison officer Mohammed Abubaker told Peterborough Crown Court Mr Palmer had called him to his cell in the early hours of 9 December 2015, saying he felt sick.
He said Mr Ojuederie, who was from Watford, was awake on the bottom bunk and he "seemed fine".
He said he then asked if Mr Palmer had taken any Spice, to which the prisoner replied "I don't know".
Mr Abubaker said Mr Palmer then called him back to the cell at about 01:30 GMT, stating: "I don't know what I've done, I don't know what I've done."
He returned to the cell to find Mr Palmer swaying from side to side, holding his palms upwards and with his cellmate lying on his back on the floor, Mr Abubaker told the court.
"All he [Mr Palmer] was saying was 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry'," he said.
When Mr Palmer was met by police, he told them "I don't know what happened", the court heard.
When cross-examined by defence QC Abbas Lakha, Mr Abubaker said there was nothing to suggest a fight or argument in the cell before the incident.
Mr Lakha said it was not disputed that Mr Palmer, whose address was given in court as HMP Woodhill in Milton Keynes, killed Mr Ojuederie.
But he said it was possible that the defendant had "involuntarily" used Spice and and the effects "might have led him to launch the attack".
The trial will continue on Wednesday.

The French defence minister's comments are likely to be a reference to reported attempts by IS militants to expand from Sirte into the town of Ajdabiyah in the east.
There have been increasing reports of the presence of extremist groups in the town, in recent weeks.

It is a strategy that, if successful, could cut off oil supplies from that part of the country, where key oil terminals are stationed.

Give a short summary of the provided document. | Two undercover white reporters, one a Muslim in traditional dress, travelled across the city to inquire about 40 jobs being advertised in shop windows.
Ian, the non-Muslim, was more than four times more successful in getting job interviews than Muslim-convert Zoltan.
Faith and Communities Minister Baroness Warsi and an academic expressed concern over the findings by Inside Out West.
Both journalists are from Manchester, they are of a similar age and ethnicity and were given equivalent CVs.
To make his faith clear, Zoltan used the name Mohammed and wore traditional shalwar kameez dress.
As part of the BBC Inside Out West investigation he and Ian applied for the same 40 jobs being advertised in shop windows around the city centre.
Ian's inquiries resulted in 13 interviews and one job offer without an interview. Zoltan was invited to three interviews.
At one café, Zoltan was told CVs were being collected and to assume he had not been shortlisted if he heard nothing further.
But when Ian inquired about the same job 10 minutes later, he was offered a trial shift.
The cafe owner spotted Zoltan in the distance and said to Ian: "See that guy in the hat? Do not tell him I've given you a trial shift on Saturday.
"If you bump into him in the street and he wants to talk to you, do not tell him because he's just given me his CV and I told him that I won't be making a decision until next week. So don't tell him."
After contact from the BBC, the cafe manager denied discriminating against Zoltan and said he had more things in common with Ian and had struck up a better rapport with him.
In another inquiry, both men visited a branch of a food retailer to ask about a mix of jobs on offer, including store supervisor.
Ian was given an application form and told there was a dozen store supervisor vacancies within the same chain locally.
Zoltan was told a driver's job, also being advertised, had already been filled and he was then only alerted to upcoming temporary Christmas jobs.
Elsewhere at one fast food outlet, both men inquired about a job being advertised for a delivery driver.
Zoltan was told about the pay and job requirements, such as needing a car and clean driver's licence, and he left his CV.
But five minutes later Ian made the same inquiry and was given an application form and told to fill it in straight away.
Faith and Communities Minister Baroness Warsi said: "It does concern me that somebody's opportunities are being curbed because of the religion they appear to follow.
"In this country we have a law which protects against discrimination, individual firms have policies which protect against discrimination.
"We need to make sure these policies are being applied at the grassroots level."
Professor Tariq Madood, director of the Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship at Bristol University, believes Muslim men find it harder to get a job.
He said: "They have to make more applications to get an interview, they have to have more interviews to get a job offer.
"They're more likely to be made unemployed when there is a recession. Muslim men's average wages are very low compared to white men.
"If they can't get work they are more likely to be involved in drug dealing, gang behaviour and, of course, they'd be more likely to be recruited into nasty political causes.
"How can you ask people to integrate and then treat them negatively and exclude them from job opportunities or other opportunities?
"You're really just sowing a division into the next generation and into the future."

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | A boost of A$29.9b ($21.4b, £15.4b) over the next decade reflects concern over military expansion in the region.
The white paper reiterates Australia's objection to the reclamation of land in the South China Sea and urges ASEAN and China to agree on a code of conduct.
China says it is "seriously concerned" and has expressed its "dissatisfaction" over the defence strategy.
Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Hua Chunying asked Australia to "take realistic actions" to work with China to maintain peace and stability in the region.
"In the hopes of relieving tensions and the possibility of an arms race, we hope that relevant countries can give up joint drills and stop increasing their military presence in the region," Ms Chunying said.
The largest investment outlined in the White Paper on Thursday is for submarines to replace Australia's current diesel and electric-powered Collins Class vessels. At a cost of more than A$50b it represents Australia's largest-ever defence procurement.
About 25% of the additional spending will be put towards the most "comprehensive regeneration of our Navy since the Second World War", the Defence document says.
Australia's Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the threats faced by Australia were not limited to foreign conflicts, but also included terrorism, cyber-warfare and climate change.

Summarize this article briefly. | It adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting health benefits from the most popular hot drinks.
Those who drank more than six cups of tea a day cut their risk of heart disease by a third, the study of 40,000 people found.
Consuming between two to four coffees a day was also linked to a reduced risk.
While the protective effect ceased with more than four cups of coffee a day, even those who drank this much were no more likely to die of any cause, including stroke and cancer, than those who abstained.
The Dutch tend to drink coffee with a small amount of milk and black tea without. There have been conflicting reports as to whether milk substantially affects the polyphenols - believed to be the most beneficial substance in tea.
Coffee has properties which could in theory simultaneously increase and reduce risk - potentially raising cholesterol while battling the inflammatory damage associated with heart disease.
But the study in the Journal of the American Heart Association finds those who drank between two and four cups a day lowered the risk of the disease by 20%.
"It's basically a good news story for those who like tea and coffee. These drinks appear to offer benefits for the heart without raising the risk of dying from anything else," said Professor Yvonne van der Schouw, the lead researcher.
Ellen Mason, Senior Cardiac Nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "This study adds further weight to the evidence that drinking tea and coffee in moderation is not harmful for most people, and may even lower your risk of developing, or dying, from heart disease.
"However, it's worth remembering that leading a healthy overall lifestyle is the thing that really matters when it comes to keeping your heart in top condition.
"Having a cigarette with your coffee could completely cancel any benefits, while drinking lots of tea in front of the TV for hours on end without exercising is unlikely to offer your heart much protection at all."
Joseph Harvey, of Sea Cliff Road, Scarborough, was sentenced on Monday to 12-and-a-half years in prison for offences including attempted rape and sexual assault.
The 62-year-old denied 18 charges at his trial at Sheffield Crown Court earlier this year but was found guilty.
The attacks happened in the Doncaster area.
South Yorkshire Police said the sentence reflected "the gravity of his offending".
Det Con Brian Thompson said: "While he pleaded guilty to some of the offences, he still put his victims through further trauma and distress by taking this to trial.
"I hope that the sentence handed to Harvey offers his victims reassurance and closure that, after so many years, their abuser is finally behind bars for his despicable crimes."

Give a brief overview of this passage. | The mound near a play area in Weedon Bec, near Daventry, was being cleared by the parish council in July when the explosives were found.
The bomb squad was called but the council found the cost of clearing the site quadruple to more than £1m.
The mound is thought to include waste from the nearby Weedon Barracks.
The council believes as the waste was created by the Army and the cost of clearing it should be paid for by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
The parish council has also had to pay £1,680 a week to provide 24 hour security for the site and there are only sufficient reserve funds within the Weedon Bec budget to cover this for 12 more weeks.
Zoe O'Toole, the chair of the council, said local researchers have found evidence that ordinance was dumped by the military at the nearby barracks, but the MoD has not yet committed to providing the funding.
"I am so frustrated. It is fair to say I've lost hours of sleep over this. Ultimately it could mean bankruptcy," she said.
The MoD said: "Safety is of paramount importance to MoD and we are examining ways in which we may be able to provide financial support to the parish council to address possible ordnance in addition to our on-going commitment to remove ordnance should it be encountered."

Summarize the content of the document below. | Josh Henson, from Rhondda Cynon Taff, was 300m (980 ft) away from the Erawan Shrine having a meal when the blast happened on Monday.
He said shops had shut early and traffic was at a standstill as medics tried to deal with the casualties.
But he said Thai authorities had dealt with the situation "superbly".
Mr Henson, of Brynna, was celebrating his 10-year-old cousin's birthday when the bomb exploded.
He and his relatives quickly began checking social media and news services to find out what had happened before returning to their hotel near the bomb site.
"It was just a horrible atmosphere and we just felt on edge and just so uneasy walking down the main street," he said.
"There was traffic - the cars were just stopped still. It was a very uneasy walk, it was not nice at all.
"We do feel a level of safety as we have been watching the news and we have found out about how they are dealing with the situation at the moment, [but] there is a level of caution that we do have to take."
Mr Henson said he and his family had planned to visit the capital's Grand Palace on Tuesday but they would be changing their plans on the advice of the Thai authorities.
The Erawan Shrine, which was crowded at the time, is a major tourist attraction and foreigners, including Chinese, are among the reported casualties.
No-one has yet said they carried out the attack, but Thailand's defence minister Prawit Wongsuwon said the bombers had "targeted foreigners... to damage tourism and the economy".

Here is the family's statement in full.
Charles's family would first like to thank the public and politicians who have been so warm in their tributes to him and so sincere in their concern for us.
We have been touched beyond measure by the outpouring of warmth for a man whose loss we will feel deeply forever.
The pain we feel has been at least eased somewhat by the reaction of so many people across Scotland, the UK and beyond, and by the affection expressed by politicians across the spectrum.
It has become all too apparent to us how much Charles meant to so many people and how many lives he touched.
We were grateful that his young son Donald was able to attend the Commons session where so many MPs spoke so warmly about his father.
The words and images of that day, and of so many other tributes, will be there for us to look back on with pride in Charles, and Donald will always know what a special father he had.
We would also like to thank all the public authorities and emergency services who have dealt with the aftermath of Charles's death with such courtesy, kindness and efficiency.
We have now been informed by the office of the procurator fiscal of the findings of the post-mortem.
Charles's death was caused by a major haemorrhage and the report makes clear this was a consequence of his battle with alcoholism.
We are grateful to the many friends and also medical experts who sought to help down the years but ultimately this was an illness Charles could not conquer despite all the efforts he and others made.
We can now proceed to make arrangements for his funeral and we will make an announcement on the details in due course. | A Welsh tourist has spoken of the "horrible atmosphere" in Thailand's capital Bangkok after a bomb exploded, killing at least 16 people.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | Three Islamist militant groups were working together on the plan, said army spokesman Lt General Asim Bajwa.
Six suicide bombers were to be involved in the plot, which was close to being carried out, he said.
Pearl was kidnapped by militants from Karachi and beheaded four months later.
The groups involved in the plot to spring prisoners from Hyderabad Central Jail were al-Qaeda, the Pakistani Taliban, and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LEJ), Lt Gen Bajwa said.
The army had arrested 97 militants from the groups over the past two years. They are accused of attacks on two Pakistani air bases, Karachi airport and several other targets.
Among them were three commanders, the army spokesman said. The LEJ's Naeem Bokhari and Sabir Khan, and Farooq Bhatti, deputy chief of al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), were reportedly captured by Pakistani forces in recent raids.
"Our conclusion is that all of the terrorist groups are trying to co-operate with each other in order to carry out terrorist attacks," Lt Gen Bajwa told a news conference.
Several of those arrested, including Naeem Bokhari, were in the advanced stages of planning the jailbreak, he added.
Video images released by the army showed blue plastic barrels filled with explosives, washing machines that had been used to transport arms and ammunition, long lengths of detonating cord and dozens of ball bearings.
The footage also showed several rifles that Bajwa said had been stolen from police in earlier targeted attacks.
"This plan was 90% ready for execution," he said.
Saeed Sheikh, who kidnapped and killed Pearl, is being held at the jail.
Lt Gen Bajwa said more than 350 kg (772 lb) of explosives had been recovered from a building believed to be a hideout.

Provide a brief summary for the information below. | Antonio D'Amico was Versace's partner for 15 years. He found the designer after he was shot in Miami in 1997.
D'Amico said an early image from FX's American Crime Story, which shows the reaction of his character - played by Ricky Martin - was wrong.
"The picture of Ricky Martin holding the body in his arms is ridiculous."
The 58-year-old told The Observer newspaper he had not been consulted for the series, which will be titled American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.
He compared the photo to Michelangelo's Pieta, which depicts the body of Jesus in the arms of his mother after the crucifixion.
"Maybe it's the director's poetic licence, but that is not how I reacted," D'Amico said.
He explained that in reality, he ran out to find Versace on the steps of his Miami mansion but was soon dragged away from the scene.
He said: "I saw Gianni lying on the steps, with blood around him. At that point, everything went dark. I was pulled away, I didn't see any more."
But D'Amico said he wouldn't mind if Ricky Martin got in touch so he could offer him some insight into his former partner's life.
"It's getting to know the small things about a relationship… for example, Gianni was so ordered and focused at work but in his private life everything was disorganised," he told the paper.
"He'd leave the bathroom in a mess. At a certain point I said, 'Enough!' And when it came to cooking, he didn't even know how to [boil] an egg."
Versace, who was 50 when he died, was shot by Andrew Cunanan, who had murdered at least four other people in a three-month killing spree.
The body of Cunanan was found eight days later in a Miami houseboat following a huge manhunt. He had shot himself in the head with the gun he used to kill Versace.
American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace is set to air in 2018.

One of the four crew of the Louisa was rescued by a lifeboat after swimming for shore and then clinging to rocks.
Two men were found dead and the fourth, who also swam for shore, is missing.
The Marine Accident Investigation Branch's examination of the incident is ongoing, while further searches for the missing man are under review.
The boat, which was used for crab fishing, was understood to have taken on water, forcing the crew to abandon ship.
Ch Insp Gordon Macleod from Police Scotland said: "Our thoughts are very much with the families at this time. It is tragic accident for the community to deal with but primarily for the families that are affected. We have officers working with them and keeping them up-to-date with inquiries as they go on.
"We are obviously wanting to establish what has happened here and we are working very closely with the Marine Accident Investigation Branch.
"We will be looking at the safety around the boat and looking to establish what happened that led to this tragic accident."
Finlay MacLeod, superintendent of the Fishermen's Mission in Stornoway, said: "The four crewmen ended up in the water but with the cold and the exposure, hypothermia started to set in and two of them decided to swim to the shore, which they could see.
"During that swimming one of them drifted away from the other and he was lost whilst the other one made it to the shore." | The boyfriend of fashion designer Gianni Versace has described a forthcoming TV drama depicting the star's murder as "ridiculous".

More than 100 balloons are taking part in the event including one bearing the Tibetan flag.
Pilot Heaven Crawley, said people claiming to represent the Chinese Embassy had tried to get it banned.
"We understand from some of the organisers of the events we've been trying to attend - there has been some communication from people claiming to be from the Chinese Embassy suggesting that we don't fly," she said.
"But we've been told that we're able to fly - so tomorrow morning, we'll be here flying over Bristol."
A mass ascent of balloons is scheduled for 06:00 and 18:00 BST on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
This year's festival will also see the maiden flight of the world's first solar-powered balloon.
The balloon was made in Bedminster and is a hybrid aircraft, partially powered by the sun and partially powered by a conventional propane burner.
It is being launched at the fiesta to mark the city's status as the UK's first European Green Capital.
Other attractions include arena events, a flypast by the RAF Battle of Britain Display Team and a display by the Breitling Wing Walkers.
A second nightglow is also planned for Saturday evening.
BBC weather forecaster Ian Fergusson said wind could be "a potentially tricky issue", but said it should "steadily moderate into this evening".
"On Friday, winds will be light, meaning the prospect of balloon flights is good," he said.
For safety reasons, Clifton Suspension Bridge will be closed to traffic and pedestrians between 18:00 BST until midnight on Thursday and Saturday.

Entry to the fiesta is free but there are charges for parking.
This overturns a decision made by former minister John O'Dowd in 2015.
He maintained all exam boards operating in Northern Ireland must give their results using the letters A* to G.
That led to the two largest English GCSE exam boards to say they would not offer GCSE courses in Northern Ireland.
Mr Weir said those exam boards - AQA and OCR - have now confirmed they will reverse that decision.
Therefore, from 2018, many pupils in Northern Ireland will receive results in both letter and number form, as around one in four GCSEs here is studied through an English board.
The local examining body, CCEA, will continue to award GCSEs from A* to G only.
However, they will introduce a new C* grade.
Under the numerical grading system 9 is the highest and 1 is the lowest.
Speaking in the assembly, Mr Weir said that he had "decided to lift the current restriction upon the accreditation of 9-1 GCSEs".
"By re-opening the market in this way, our learners will be able to access GCSE courses leading to both alphabetical grades and numerical grades.
"Depending upon the decisions of schools, some young people will leave school with a record of attainment that consists of a mixture of letters and numbers." he said.
"This in practice is little different from what happens now with the mixture of qualifications at level 2 with GCSEs, BTEC, Level 2 Certificates and Diplomas."
In 2017, English examining boards will give their results in the form of numbers, where nine is the highest grade and one the lowest.
However, the change will not take effect for results in most subjects until 2018.
The body which runs examinations in Northern Ireland, the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA), has welcomed the minister's decision.
It a statement it said: "We are pleased that the Minister has moved swiftly to review policy and provide his decision on the future of grading for GCSEs in Northern Ireland.
"CCEA, as the Qualifications Regulator, has a statutory responsibility to ensure that qualifications taken by learners here are comparable to similar qualifications taken by learners in other parts of the United Kingdom.
"We will start work immediately on the technical implementation of the new grading and continue to ensure that our qualifications remain comparable to other similar qualifications elsewhere in the United Kingdom." | The 37th International Balloon Fiesta has begun in Bristol, with the ascent of the first balloons.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Riot police used tear gas to prevent activists distributing food from a lorry on Syntagma Square, where the country's parliament is located.
Athens Mayor Giorgos Kaminis says a Golden Dawn MP later tried to assault him for banning the gathering.
Golden Dawn, once a fringe movement, is now Greece's fifth-biggest party.
It was staging the handout to celebrate Greek Orthodox Easter, which falls this weekend. At past events, the anti-immigration party asked recipients to show ID cards proving they were Greeks.
Golden Dawn reportedly managed to hand out some food before police moved in, and it later continued the distribution elsewhere in the city.
Mr Kaminis said no party could use the square for such purposes and vowed to prevent "thuggery".
The mayor told the BBC that a Golden Dawn MP tried to attack him at a charity centre he was attending later in the day.
Bodyguards managed to restrain MP Giorgos Germenis, he said, although a 12-year-old girl was injured in the process.
Mr Kaminis says he plans to sue the MP over the incident, which was reportedly caught on camera.
Speaking to the BBC, the mayor called members of Golden Dawn "criminals".
The party, whose neo-Nazi ideology has been condemned by human rights groups, has soared in popularity during the financial crisis.
Greek authorities have been accused in the past of failing to take action against hate crime and attacks on immigrants.
Mr Kaminis said Thursday's police action was a "victory for the democratic state".

Investigators discovered fingerprints of suspected ringleader Abdelhamid Abaaoud and Stade de France bomber Bilal Hadfi at a flat in Charleroi.
A house was searched in a nearby town and bomb belts were found at a flat in Schaerbeek in Brussels.
The flat in Charleroi is being seen as a key part of the investigation.
Co-ordinated suicide bomb and gun attacks by so-called Islamic State (IS) jihadists left 130 people dead at the Bataclan concert hall, restaurants and the Stade de France in Paris.
Several of the attackers had travelled from Belgium and investigators are now looking at a flat at Rue du Fort in Charleroi as their meeting point the day before the attacks were carried out.
Both Abaaoud and Hadfi were there and it is thought gunman Brahim Abdeslam and his brother Salah Abdeslam went there too, along with another suspected attacker, Mohamed Abrini.
No trace of explosives was found but police did discover several mattresses. The flat was rented for a year in early September 2015 and paid for in cash.
A Seat Leon car used in the Paris attacks was spotted close to the Charleroi flat as well as near the house in Auvelais.

Belgian officials had already revealed they found a fingerprint in Schaerbeek belonging to Salah Abdeslam, who survived the attacks and went on the run. Traces of TATP explosive (acetone peroxide) were detected, suggesting the flat may have been used as a bomb factory. Again the flat was rented in early September.
They have now revealed that DNA traces of Bilal Hadfi were also found there.
The authorities say the house in Auvelais was also used as a hideout for two other men, thought to have travelled among refugees to get to Belgium. Several mattresses were found there too.
Officials say they were carrying false identities and were picked up in Budapest by Salah Abdeslam in September 2013. One of the men, using the false name of Kayal Soufiane, rented the Auvelais house on 5 October.
CCTV pictures emerged this week showing Salah Abdeslam at a petrol station close to the Belgian border in northern France, hours after he took part in the Paris attacks. He is seen with Hamza Attou, one of two men who are said to have driven him back to Belgium.

Write a summary of this document. | The private members' bill proposed that everyone would be on the organ donation register unless they opted out.
The bill was brought by Ulster Unionist Jo-Anne Dobson.
The clinicians congratulated Ms Dobson for raising awareness of the issue.
However, the three doctors - Dr Aisling Courtney, Dr Tim Brown and Dr Paul Glover - said that educating the public to sign up to the organs register was the best way forward.
"Our only concern is that the opt out system, if it's not understood well by the public, is that it will actually deter people from donating," Dr Courtney said.
"So we have a good system, we want to do whatever we can to make it better, and we're just not convinced just yet that the public in Northern Ireland have the inside understanding of the opt out.
"We're concerned it might make things worse and what we all want, and what Jo-Anne wants, is to make things better."
Dr Glover also said that the current system in Northern Ireland was working well.

Provide a brief summary for the information below. | Britain's Joshua, 27, is making the second defence of the belt he won in April.
At Friday's weigh-in, the champion scaled 17st 12lb, six pounds heavier than for his last fight, while his American challenger scaled 16st 13lb.
"People love the thud of punches and there will be a knockout," said Joshua.
"People are saying I'm the favourite but I don't see it like that. I take him as a real challenger. I've got to stay calm, wait for him to fatigue and then unload."
Joshua has finished all 17 of his pro fights early.
Molina is widely expected to be merely a stepping stone for Joshua, with a match against former heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko pencilled in for next April.
The Texan, 34, lost his first fight as a pro in 2007 but has been beaten only twice in 27 bouts since.
In 2012 he was knocked out in the first round by Chris Arreola, before lasting nine rounds with WBC champion Deontay Wilder. In his most recent fight in April, Molina caused an upset by beating Tomasz Adamek in Poland.
"This will be a heavyweight slug-fest but it's a two-way street - he can hurt me and I can hurt him," said Molina, who has 19 knockouts from 25 victories.
"The knockout could be quick, it could be slow - let's see how it pans out."

In an eve-of-conference article, Carwyn Jones said Welsh Labour won the 2016 assembly election by "fronting up" to people's concerns.

A "community-rooted" response could reconnect with voters, he added.
Writing on the Labour List website, Mr Jones explained how he responded to the general election defeat to ensure the party recovered in time to keep power in Cardiff Bay.
Speaking of how he was "ripped into" at a Labour public consultation event in Gower, which the Tories had won for the first time in a century, he said the "heated contributions" from the floor had been "hard, but necessary".
"We wanted a no-holds barred assessment of what people thought about politics, and about Labour - and we were getting it," he said.
Mr Jones said "ambitious but simple" assembly election pledges had been developed by having "meaningful" conversations with voters, "turning their concerns into visible action and plans for the future".
Labour won 29 of the assembly's 60 seats, and has kept power by agreeing to consult Plaid Cymru on a range of issues.

Neither side were able to break the deadlock during the opening 45 minutes with Wrexham's Ollie Shenton coming closest when he fired over the bar from Izale McLeod's cross.
Shenton's powerful volley was blocked by keeper Jamie Montgomery early in the second half before Gateshead took the lead.
Burrow beat Chris Dunn from 10 yards to score his fifth goal for Gateshead since joining from Halifax in November.
Wrexham substitute George Harry was denied a late equaliser by former Dragons defender Manny Smith.
Halifax sealed the win to extend their impressive form in the fourth minute of stoppage time with Johnson netting his seventh goal in six games from close range after receiving the ball from Tom Beere.
Wrexham manager Dean Keates said: "Overall it wasn't that bad a performance. Obviously it was disappointing.
"I think for long periods of the game we were in control and looked more capable but weren't clinical around their box.
"In the first half we edged it and in the second half, even when they scored, we were getting on top. I don't think it's a 2-0 game. We hope to get a reaction next week at Forest Green."

President Trujillo's death ended 31 years of bloody dictatorship.
Only Imbert and one other survived the aftermath.

Imbert, who was 93 when he died, also took part in a US-backed coup in 1963 against the leftist President Juan Bosch.
He later formed part of a military junta established after the coup and was declared president in 1965.
He also helped fight off the insurrection which aimed at returning Juan Bosch to power, which eventually sparked a US invasion.
Imbert was himself shot by followers of Trujillo in 1967, but survived.
While no specific plot has been identified, IS has "aspirations" for mass casualty attacks, he said.
In a Sunday Times interview Mr Wallace said there have been reports of IS using poisonous gas in Iraq and Syria.
"They have no moral objection to using chemical weapons... and if they could, they would in this country," he said.
He also pointed to a recent Europol report, which said there was evidence that IS has shown an interest in the use of chemical or biological weapons, and the potential realisation of "everybody's worst fear" in Europe.
Mr Wallace told the Sunday Times: "The ambition of IS or Daesh is definitely mass casualty attacks.
"They want to harm as many people as possible and terrorise as many people as possible."
He said that Moroccan authorities raided an IS cell in February which had substances that could have been used to either make a bomb or a "deadly toxin".
Mr Wallace also warned of the "enemy within" - with terror groups, Russia and cyber attackers trying to plant "traitors" in the government, the military and leading businesses.
He said: "The insider threat, as we would call it, is real and it can be exploited and there are people trying to do that as we speak.
"If it's hard to get in the front door, then what you try and do is get someone on the inside."
Last month, the head of MI6 said the scale of the terrorism threat to the UK is "unprecedented".
Alex Younger said UK intelligence and security services had disrupted 12 terrorist plots since June 2013.
He said many of the threats came from ungoverned spaces in the Middle East - namely Iraq and Syria.
Mr Younger also warned that "hybrid warfare", which included cyber-attacks and subverting democracy, was becoming an "increasingly dangerous phenomenon".

She said the prosecution's argument that Ms Steenkamp's stomach would have been empty if she ate when Mr Pistorius said she did was "pure speculation".
Mr Pistorius denies intentionally killing Ms Steenkamp on 14 February last year.
The South African Olympic athlete says he accidentally shot her through a toilet door in a state of panic, mistaking her for an intruder.
Social worker Yvette van Schalkwyk, who also gave evidence on Thursday, said Mr Pistorius was "heartbroken" after the killing.
Ms Van Schalkwyk said she was asked to accompany Mr Pistorius immediately after the shooting for "emotional support".
"I saw a heartbroken man. He cried 80% of the time," she said.
Ms Van Schalkwyk was a surprise witness who had asked to testify. She said she offered to speak after being upset by media claims that Mr Pistorius was "putting on a show" when he cried in court.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel objected, saying her evidence about Mr Pistorius' emotions were not relevant to the case.
However, Judge Thokozile Masipa said Mr Nel had questioned Mr Pistorius' emotions, and allowed the witness to continue testifying.
In his cross-examination, Mr Nel pushed Ms Van Schalkwyk to acknowledge that Mr Pistorius never said he was sorry that he had killed Ms Steenkamp.
"It's all about him," the prosecutor said. "It's not 'sorry for what I've done'."
Earlier, the court heard evidence on when Ms Steenkamp may have had her last meal.
Mr Pistorius had said the couple had dinner at about 19:00 on the evening Ms Steenkamp was killed. He said they went to sleep between 21:00 and 22:00.
The prosecution has argued that this cannot be true, as Ms Steenkamp had food in her stomach at the time of her death, in the early hours of 14 February last year.
This indicates that Ms Steenkamp ate later than Mr Pistorius said, and that this meant the couple could have been awake, and arguing, before the shooting, the prosecution says.
Prof Lundgren, who was shown copies of the post mortem report, said there were many factors that could have delayed gastric emptying in Ms Steenkamp's stomach, including sleep, exercise, medication and her age.
"One cannot state it as being fact" that Ms Steenkamp's stomach would have been empty six hours after eating, Prof Lundgren said. "I would say it is purely speculative."
In his cross-examination, Mr Nel argued that Prof Lundgren's list of factors might not apply to Ms Steenkamp, and that in normal circumstances one would expect the stomach to be empty eight hours after eating food.
If found guilty, Mr Pistorius - a national sporting hero and double amputee dubbed the "blade runner" because of the prosthetic limbs he wears to race - could face life imprisonment.
If he is acquitted of murder, the court must consider an alternative charge of culpable homicide, for which he could receive about 15 years in prison.
There are no juries at trials in South Africa, and his fate will ultimately be decided by the judge, assisted by two assessors.

Mr Pistorius said in his statement at the start of the trial that he woke in the early hours and walked on his stumps to the balcony, pulled in two fans, closed the sliding door and drew curtains. He said that shortly before he had spoken to Reeva, who was in bed beside him.
He said he rejected prosecution claims that a witness heard arguing coming from the house before the shooting.
Mr Pistorius said he heard the bathroom window sliding open and believed that an intruder, or intruders, had entered the bathroom through a window which was not fitted with burglar bars.
"Unbeknown to me, Reeva must have gone to the toilet in the bathroom at the time I brought in the fans," he said.
Mr Pistorius said he approached the bathroom armed with his firearm, to defend himself and his girlfriend, believing Ms Steenkamp was still in bed.
Both sides agree four bullets were fired. Ms Steenkamp was hit three times.
Mr Pistorius said he fired his weapon after hearing a noise in the toilet which he thought was the intruder coming out of the toilet to attack him and Ms Steenkamp.
He said he was in a fearful state, knowing he was on his stumps and unable to run away or properly defend himself.
Mr Pistorius said he rejected claims that he was on his prostheses when he shot at the door.
A witness told the trial she woke to hear a woman screaming and a man shouting for help. She said that after the screams she heard four shots.
Mr Pistorius said he went back to the bedroom after shooting at the toilet door, still shouting for Reeva. Lifting himself up onto the bed, he felt over to the right hand side of it and noticed Ms Steenkamp was not there.
Mr Pistorius said this was when he realised she could have been in the toilet.
Mr Pistorius said he went back to the bathroom but the toilet was locked, so he returned to the bedroom, pulled on his prosthetic legs, turned on the lights before bashing in the toilet door with a cricket bat.
Forensics expert Johannes Vermeulen told the court that the height of the marks on the door caused by the cricket bat suggest Mr Pistorius was on his stumps at the time.
Mr Pistorius's defence team say he then called security at the gated housing complex and a private paramedic service before carrying Ms Steenkamp downstairs.
A security guard claimed it was the other way round, and he had called Mr Pistorius first after reports of gunfire. However, phone records shown to the court revealed Mr Pistorius called the estate manager at 3:19am, a minute later he called the ambulance service and at 3:21am he called estate security.
A minute later he received an incoming call - estate security calling him back.
According to police phone expert Francois Moller, Mr Pistorius called his friend Justin Divaris a short time later and just after 4:00am he called his brother Carl. | The 27th day of Oscar Pistorius's trial has heard evidence on when Reeva Steenkamp may have eaten her last meal. |
What is the summary of the following article? | The home side's first goal in five games arrived with just four minutes on the clock.
Donal McDermott's delivery into the six-yard area forced Declan Rudd to catch the cross at an uncomfortably high angle and, with Calvin Andrew looming menacingly, the Addicks goalkeeper spilled the ball, Niall Canavan applying the simplest of finishes from two yards.
Charlton enjoyed a slice of luck which paved the way to their 42nd minute equaliser. Keith Keane slipped as he attempted to head clear of Jordan Botaka, losing his footing just as he was about to connect with the ball and managing only to head it against his opponent.
The loose ball sent Botaka clean through on goal and, although his initial shot struck the post, he converted the chance at the second time of asking.
The visitors took the lead in the 66th minute when Patrick Bauer's header was nodded across the line by Teixeira, but Dale were level within three minutes, Ian Henderson's cross to the back post picking out Andrew's run and there was no stopping him as he powered a header into the net.
Rochdale regained the lead in the 84th minute when Nathaniel Mendez-Laing side-footed a firm finish into the bottom corner but, four minutes later, Teixeira headed his second.

What is the summary of the following article? | Kai Webb, 18, downed a bottle of vodka before attacking David Reynolds as he ran along Teignmouth seafront in Devon.
Webb, of Ashleigh Park, Teignmouth, admitted wounding, theft and two common assaults and was jailed at Exeter Crown Court for 12 months.
Mr Reynolds and his partner Eve Hazelton raised almost £30,000 for the breast cancer charity Coppafeel.
The couple were part way through running 10km a day for 100 days on 11 April when they were intercepted by a group of youths, including Webb, at about 19:00.
Webb walked up behind Mr Reynolds and smashed the bottle over the back of his head, causing a gash to the scalp and ear which required eight stitches.
A large group of supporters turned out to support film director Mr Reynolds the next day, when he overcame his injuries and ran dressed as a giant beer bottle.
Recorder Martin Meeke QC told Webb: "This was mindless unprovoked violence in a town centre and the sort of conduct which persuades many members of the public to avoid town centres at night."
Gordon Richings, prosecuting, said the bottle attack happened after Webb had already stolen beer and thrown a tray at an assistant in a sandwich shop.
In a victim impact statement, Mr Reynolds said: "My injury is very evident to other people as I have no hair."
Barry White, defending, said Webb was only 17 when the attacks took place and his family are at a loss to explain why he behaved as he did.
Janet Alder alleged the CPS racially discriminated against her during her dealings with them after the death of her brother, Christopher.
Judge Penelope Belcher, at Leeds County Court, said she shared concerns that racism played a part in his death.
But she dismissed claims that Ms Alder was treated in a racist manner.
Mr Alder, 37, choked to death while handcuffed and lying on the floor of a Hull police station in 1998.
After his death a coroner's jury returned a verdict of unlawful killing at an inquest.
In 2002 five Humberside Police officers went on trial accused of manslaughter and misconduct in public office. They were cleared of all charges at Teesside Crown Court.
During the discrimination hearing, between 20 September and 3 December 2010, Ms Alder said she believed crucial information relating to race was left out of the trial because people involved in the prosecution did not want them to be convicted.
She said analysis of the video of the events in the custody suite revealed the sound of monkey noises being made and that one officer is heard referring to "banana boats".
Cathryn McGahey, for the CPS, said lawyers involved in the case had told her these matters were not put before the jury for evidential reasons.
Miss McGahey said the CPS explained how they could not disprove one officer's account that he was referring to "banana boots" - the yellow, fabric footwear sometimes given to prisoners.
She also said it was explained to Ms Alder how the issue of the alleged monkey noises could not be put before a jury because it was impossible to say who had made the sounds.
Judge Belcher, who has now published her judgement, said: "In conclusion, I understand and indeed share Miss Alder's concerns as to the possibility that racial discrimination played some part in the actions of the police officers on the night that Christopher Alder died.
"I also understand and share her concerns as to the standard of the investigation undertaken by West Yorkshire Police into the actions of the Humberside officers.
"However, she has failed to satisfy me on a balance of probabilities that any actions by the CPS in this case involved racial discrimination by the CPS in their dealings with her.
"It follows that her claim in this action is dismissed." | A man has been jailed for smashing a beer bottle over the head of a runner raising money for a cancer charity.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | The data about WhatsApp users will be used to help targeted advertising seen by people on Facebook.
It will share phone numbers and the details of the last time that users signed on to WhatsApp, with Facebook.
The ICO said because the changes would affect a lot of people it wanted more details about what was being shared.
Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said in a statement that users' opinions about the change was likely to be split.
"Some might consider it'll give them a better service, others may be concerned by the lack of control," she said.
"Our role is to pull back the curtain on things like this, ensuring that companies are being transparent with the public about how their personal data is being shared and protecting consumers by making sure the law is being followed."
While organisations did not need to get prior permission from the ICO to change how they handle personal data, any change had to remain within data protection laws, she added.
Any organisation that breaks the Data Protection Act can be fined up to £500,000 by the ICO.
WhatsApp revealed the changes in a blogpost and said sharing more data would let it provide "more relevant" suggestions about who users should connect with.
Spam and abuse would also be better tackled thanks to the data-sharing deal, it added. The messaging firm also provided instructions for people who did not want their data to be shared.

The regiment said Watchman IV - also known as Stormer - had met the Queen twice and "brought joy to hundreds of people" at regimental occasions.
His coffin was carried through Burton in a procession attended by the mayor of East Staffordshire, and buried in gardens near the town hall.
Jim Massey, secretary of the Staffordshire Regimental Association, said: "Watchman was the fourth mascot we have had since World War Two.
"He was a particularly placid, well-behaved dog and a great regimental character, during the 10 years he spent with us.
"When we put his special coat on him, he knew he was going to get petted by hundreds of people but he never got growly with them."
Watchman IV, who was 15 when he died, lived with his handler Malcolm Bower and his wife. Mr Bower died in 2010.
The dog met the Queen in April 2006 at the 800th anniversary of Stafford borough and also at a remembrance service at Westminster Abbey.
Mr Massey said the dog had brought "instant recognition" to the regiment at such events.
"The mayor said a few words, we read a poem by his handler and we played the Last Post," said Mr Massey.

Summarize the content provided below. | Kevin Durant hit a game-high 33 points, while Stephen Curry recorded his first play-off triple-double, with 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.
LeBron James made a record-equalling eighth play-off triple-double.
The Warriors, who welcomed back coach Steve Kerr after missing 11 games through back issues, have now won a record 14 straight play-off games.
The visitors trailed by just three points at half-time at Oracle Arena, before the Warriors outscored the Cavaliers 35-24 in a decisive third quarter.
Golden State beat Cleveland in the 2015 finals but were 2-0 and then 3-1 up last year, only to let their lead slip as the Cavaliers won their first NBA title.
Kerr, a five-time NBA champion as a player, had been absent since game two of his side's first play-off series against Portland Trail Blazers after suffering complications from back surgery in 2015.
Assistant coach Mike Brown stepped in, completing 4-0 sweeps of Portland, Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs to reach the finals, with Kerr only announcing his return for this game hours before tip-off.
"For him to be out there when he has a built-in excuse not to because of the incredible pain he's under, it's amazing. It motivates us to win for him," said Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson, who hit 22 points.
Kerr, 51, led the Warriors to the 2015 title before last year's defeat and said his side would have to play "smarter" in game three of the best-of-seven series, which takes place in Cleveland on Wednesday (02:00 BST on Thursday).
"We play that same game in Cleveland, there's no way we win," said Kerr.
A triple-double means a player has recorded a double-digit number in three of five statistical categories: points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks.
Cavaliers small forward James, 32, made 29 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists to draw level with Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson on eight post-season triple-doubles. No other player has more than two.
"Right now, it means nothing, but it will mean something," said James.
"He's one of the greatest to play this game. When I'm done, I'll probably look back on it and say it was a cool feat."
With Curry also making a triple-double, it was only the second time in play-off history that opposing players have achieved the feat in the same game - the first coming in 1970 by New York Knicks' Walt Frazier and Milwaukee Buck's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. | Golden State Warriors took a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals with a dominant 132-113 victory over Cleveland Cavaliers. |
Write a concise summary for the following article. | The forward, 36, has recently revealed he will quit the game at the end of this season after a glittering career. But he is determined not to get carried away by the occasion.
"You've every right to get a little excited. I want to go out there, I want to enjoy it and I want to take it all in," said Ellis.
"But I know the difference between winning and losing so it's important that I'm disciplined enough to get the balance right."
Ellis is retiring after 18 years as one of British rugby league's most successful players.
After starting his career at Wakefield, he moved to Leeds before switching to the NRL and West Tigers in 2009, winning that club's player of the year award three years running. His return to Hull saw him lead the club to a first ever Wembley final win last year.
"People ask me about games gone by, and I really can't remember because you're constantly trying to be better, you're constantly moving on from one game to the next.
"It will be nice when I do eventually finish. I can have a little bit of a reflection of 'oh, that was good'."
Ellis' first memory of rugby league's oldest knockout trophy was on his fifth birthday, watching home town team Castleford win at Wembley against Hull KR in 1986. But he never dreamed he would ever emulate his boyhood heroes.
"I remember Jamie Sandy scoring and just carrying on running over the dog track towards the fans.
"But I don't think I ever thought I would play at Wembley. I probably just thought 'I hope Cas can get there next year so I can watch them again'.
"So to get to the level that I've got to, and have the opportunities I've had, is quite remarkable really.
"I spoke last year about not knowing whether you are going to play in another one again, and here I am. This really is the last one."

The body of Frank Ancona, who called himself an "imperial wizard", was found next to a river on Saturday.
His wife Malissa Ancona, who appealed for his return on Facebook, and stepson Paul Jinkerson Jr were charged with the murder on Monday.
They are also facing charges of tampering with physical evidence and abandonment of a corpse.
Police allege Mr Ancona, 51, was shot in his sleep on Thursday at home in Leadwood, Missouri, about 70 miles south of St. Louis.
It is thought his body was then driven about 20 miles and dumped near Belgrade. Mr Ancona was found by a family out fishing on Saturday.
Officers have found evidence of a burn pile near Mr Ancona's vehicle, which was found 30 miles from his body.
Mr Ancona was initially reported missing by his employer, after he failed to turn up for work.
Before his body was found, Mrs Ancona, 44, told officers he was out of the state on a delivery job, and that she planned to file for divorce on his return.
Mr Ancona was a member of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which describes itself as a "White Patriotic Christian organization that bases its roots back to the Ku Klux Klan of the early 20th century".
"Our mission is to preserve our White culture and heritage but also be relevant to the happenings going on in our Republic today," a statement signed by Mr Ancona and published on its website states.
Mr Jinkerson's attorney, Eric Barnhart, said he didn't believe his client was involved in the killing.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | After electing Labour MPs for 80 years, voters changed their minds and elected a Conservative.
What makes voters do this, and why is swing voting on the rise?
Back in the 1960s, about 13% of voters would change which party they voted for, says Dr Jonathan Mellon from Nuffield College, Oxford.
In 2015, that was closer to 40%.
"A really large proportion of voters are swingers - and this has been steadily increasing in each subsequent election," says Dr Mellon.
There have always been some voters who changed their minds.
The classic swing voter has no particular allegiance to any one party, and may choose a different party from one election to the next.
Their decision can decide the outcome of an election, but this usually happens indirectly.
"Either you'll get swings from the major parties to minor parties - such as traditionally the Liberal Democrats but now also UKIP, the Greens, the SNP - or you'll see voters swing back to one of the major parties," Dr Mellon says.
Joe Twyman, head of political and social research at the polling company YouGov, analysed swing voting at the most recent general election.
"One way of shifting that surprised a lot of people was the move from the Liberal Democrats to UKIP, and when people saw the data on that they would say, 'Well hang on, that doesn't make any sense, the ideology and the policies of Liberal Democrats are very different from those of UKIP. Why should people do that?'
"But it's about protest."
In the past few years, all the major parties have provided reasons for voters to turn against them.
The Conservatives damaged their reputation with Black Wednesday, a day-long economic crisis in 1992.
The Labour Party lost a million votes after the Iraq War, with many loyal members defecting to the Liberal Democrats or the Green Party.
Liberal Democrat activist Tom Southern witnessed voters turn against his party, angry with it for joining a Conservative-led coalition government and raising university tuition fees.
"It was clear immediately that around half the support had been wiped out within months if not weeks," he says.
And yet the coalition government was also beneficial to the smaller parties, including the Liberal Democrats.
The public saw that a minor party had teamed up with a major party and was now in government.
And this impression was reinforced during the 2015 general election campaign, when the leaders of seven different parties appeared on TV debates.
The media proclaimed that any one of the smaller parties might hold the balance of power.
This campaign proved to be a catalyst for voters.
One in every 12 people in the UK voted for UKIP.
One in two people in Scotland voted for the SNP.
It is much rarer for voters to switch between Labour and the Conservatives.
But the Copeland by-election is a reminder that this does happen.
James Tilley, professor of politics at the University of Oxford, has studied one reason why voters might make this move.
"In Britain it is definitely the case that older people are much more likely to vote for the Conservatives than younger people," he says.
As voters get older, they are about 20% more likely to vote for the Conservative Party.
But the reason for this is hard to identify.
"It could be that people born a long time ago are more likely to vote for the Conservatives," says Prof Tilley, "or it could be that as we get older we become more likely to vote for the Conservatives."
He leans towards the second explanation.
"People generally become a bit more resistant to change as they get older, and I think also that they tend to become less idealistic," says Prof Tilley.
"So if parties on the right represent a platform which is more favourable to the status quo, and more about pragmatism than it is about idealism, that might be more attractive to older people than younger people."
Swing voting is a nightmare for the parties.
In the past, MPs relied on their core vote to back them no matter what.
Now, they have to spend far more of their time campaigning to keep their seats and far less time legislating.
Politicians argue that democracy is less efficient when voters keep changing their minds.
But Rosie Campbell, professor of Politics at Birkbeck, University of London, thinks that politics works best when voters are willing to change their minds.
"In the past, voters stuck with parties that had let them down, or had morphed into something they didn't like," she says.
"Even if the future is more chaotic, the rise of the swinging mindset might just be the change our political system so desperately needs."

Summarize this article briefly. | The boat was carrying between 450 and 600 migrants when it sank eight miles (12km) off the port city of Rosetta.
It was transporting Egyptian, Syrian, Sudanese, Eritrean and Somali migrants.
Authorities said at least 163 people have been rescued but survivors told the BBC that hundreds more may have drowned.
Speaking to the BBC's Orla Guerin in Rosetta, survivors said smugglers forced anyone who wanted a lifejacket to pay extra.
Four crew members have been arrested on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter and human trafficking, Egyptian officials said.
The boat, which was kept off the coast for five days as more migrants were brought on board, is said to have capsized after a final group of some 150 people were crammed onto the vessel.
The incident came as the EU's border agency warned that increasing numbers of Europe-bound migrants are using Egypt as a departure point.
More than 10,000 people have died crossing the Mediterranean towards Europe since 2014, according to the UN.
A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants. | The number of bodies recovered after a migrant boat capsized off the Egyptian coast on Wednesday has reached at least 162, as the search continues. |
