Provide a summary of the section below. | Leslie Paul, 64, of Clephane Road, north London, committed the offences between 1980 and 1988 at a Lambeth children's home, where his four male victims lived.
He was convicted of a string of assaults at Blackfriars Crown Court.
Jailing him, Judge John Hillen said Paul used his position, power and charisma to groom and abuse the boys.
Paul was last month found guilty of 15 indecent assaults, one count of indecency with a child under 14, and one count of aiding and abetting indecent assault on a boy under 14.
He pleaded guilty to one count of making an indecent image of a child on or after 1 January 2005.
The court heard that one victim was subjected to "vile group sexual abuse" by Paul and other unidentified men.
The judge told him: "If you were not part of a paedophile ring, you were at least knowledgeable about and in contact with a group of paedophile men."
Paul had also been jailed for offences against children in 1994 and 2002 - and in 2002 a sentencing judge said he believed Paul had achieved rehabilitation following the historic offences.
But the most recent investigation started in October 2012 after a victim came forward with allegations against Paul.
An inquiry was launched by detectives from the Met's Operation Trinity and further victims were identified.
Det Supt Ang Scott said: "Paul was responsible for the care of his victims; the ultimate position of trust. He used that power to take advantage and commit the most serious of crimes against them."
One victim said the abuse he suffered as a teenager ruined his life.
He said: "I didn't speak about it until I was contacted by the police in 2014 as I thought nobody would believe what happened to me."
But he added: "I can finally start to move on with my life knowing that everyone now believes me." | A former Lambeth social services carer has been jailed for 13 years for sexual offences against children in his care. |

Please provide a summary for the content below. | The operation's Bronze Commander gave a dramatic account of events leading up to the moment police firearms officer Anthony Long shot Azelle Rodney, 24.
Mr Rodney was killed in Mill Hill, north London, in April 2005.
Mr Long, 58, who has given an address in Leatherhead, Surrey, denies murder.
An officer, identified only by call sign E1, told the jury how on the day of the shooting, the suspects were thought to be armed with an automatic weapon and on their way to rob a group of Colombian drug dealers in Edgware, north London.
A convoy of firearms officers set up to support surveillance had been parked in Harlesden, north London, when they were told the suspects were on the move.
During his evening briefing - an hour and three quarters before the shooting - he told his men to be "at the top of their game".
"I told the teams it was believed the suspects had possession of automatic weapons and were seeking access to another," he said.
"It was my way of telling my team 'guys, this could be really risky, this could be dangerous".
He said Mr Long - call sign E7 - was to provide "static cover" during the operation because of his position as the front passenger of the car which would pull up alongside the target Volkswagen Golf.
When the Golf left Harlesden, the firearms team followed it into Hale Lane where E1 ordered a "state red" to initiate the stop.
E1 got out of his vehicle shouting "armed police" and ordered a group of people sitting outside a pub nearby to move inside.
He said: "As I approached these people I heard a succession of shots ring out from the vicinity of the Golf."
E1 said later another officer - known as E3 - opened the Golf door to reveal Mr Rodney slumped in his seat.
"I saw a black male slumped in the vehicle," he added. "I could see he was not moving and blood was spilling out of his head down his body."
He said Mr Long "told me that he fired at the male suspect believing he was going to fire a gun.
"That was sufficient to know he was the officer who fired the shots," he added.
When he went back to the suspects' car, E1 said: "I looked in and saw a black self-loading pistol on the seat.
"I also saw several bags in the footwell. I know it transpired there were weapons."
The trial continues. | A senior firearms officer told his team to be "on top of their game" before a police marksman shot dead a suspected armed robber, a court has heard. |

Give a concise summary of the following information. | The blue "Please offer me a seat" badge, and accompanying card, were trialled by 1,200 people in September.
The badge will join TfL's "Baby on board" badge for pregnant women as a permanent feature from spring 2017.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan called the roll out "great news" for Londoners.
During the trial, 72% of journeys were said to be easier as a result of the badge, while in 86% of trips participants reported feeling more confident when asking for a seat.
There is no set definition of conditions that qualify for the badge and card, but TfL say the system will be based on trust - as with its "Baby on board" badge scheme.
Twitter user @BlueTube2016, who blogged about her experience during the trial, said: "Before I had the badge, I was always really anxious about travelling on peak.
"Without something to see, I didn't want to risk being interrogated about my invisible disability, or have to justify my need for a seat, so I suffered in silence.
"Before I had the badge, I never had the confidence to ask for a seat unless I had a visible sign," she said.
While welcoming the scheme, Alan Benson, chair of Transport for All, warned that some customers "don't want to use a badge and card".
"We want to see those people supported too, and for everyone to get a seat who needs one."
When it is launched, TfL will become the first European transport provider to officially recognise hidden impairments in such a way, it is believed.
Mark Anderson tied up Nigel Poustie and beat him with a baseball bat and hammer before scalding him with boiling water.
Anderson kept Mr Poustie hostage at his Dundee flat overnight before the 49-year-old managed to escape.
Mr Poustie was subsequently discovered seriously injured in the street and later died in the city's Ninewells Hospital.
Judge Lord Boyd told Anderson, 51, he had subjected Mr Poustie to "the most appalling attack, which can only be described as torture."
The judge said at the High Court in Edinburgh: "One can only imagine the fear he experienced during this time."
Anderson was originally charged with murder but admitted a reduced charge of culpable homicide.
Mr Poustie was described in court as a "poor soul" who had suffered personal problems following the death of his mother.
Mr Poustie and Anderson were said to have had a falling-out which led the killer to state to another friend: "I will torture him".
Prosecutor Adrian Cottam said that Mr Poustie was tortured overnight in Anderson's flat after being strapped to a chair and repeatedly punched.
He was also hit on the legs with a hammer and baseball bat.
Mr Cottam told the court: "He repeatedly begged him to stop.
"Anderson said he had betrayed him and would take what was given to him."
Mr Poustie then had a pillow case put over Mr Poustie's head as he sat "immobilised" in the chair.
Anderson told a woman in the house to boil a kettle, and a cup of boiling water was poured over Mr Poustie's head.
After leaving Anderson's home, Mr Poustie was seen looking "injured and disorientated" and later collapsed in the street.
He was taken to hospital, but suffered a cardiac arrest and never recovered.
Mr Poustie sustained extensive bruising and scalding, but existing health issues were a factor in his death.
Anderson was arrested four days later and initially claimed his victim must have been hit by a car or fallen over.
Defence counsel Mark Stewart QC said Anderson had shown "genuine remorse and sorrow" for what had happened.
He said: "I am asked to publicly offer his sincerest apologies to the family.
"The accused did not for a minute perceive the consequences of what happened.
"When the deceased left the accused's house, the accused genuinely believed he was not in any danger of serious harm." | Badges for people with hidden disabilities are to be rolled out across the Transport for London (TfL) network next year, following a successful trial.

Summarize the information in the following document. | The deal between the Democratic Unionist Party and Ulster Unionist Party means there will be a single candidate from the two parties.
The DUP will step aside in Fermanagh and South Tyrone and Newry and Armagh.
The UUP will step aside in East Belfast and North Belfast. Sinn Féin has now called on the SDLP to form a pact.
However, the SDLP told BBC NI's Good Morning Ulster that it was against the idea, calling the unionist move "a sectarian carve-up".
The unionist pact includes the constituency of Fermanagh and South Tyrone, which Sinn Féin held in 2010 by a margin of just four votes.
Despite six months of negotiations, the unionist parties were not able to agree a single unionist candidate for South Belfast.
However, DUP leader Peter Robinson described the unionist pact as the "most comprehensive electoral agreement between our two parties in the last 29 years".
He said it would help to "reduce the number of non-unionists returned" to Westminster.
UUP leader Mike Nesbitt said their aim was to "get the pro-union vote out" in May's general election.
Two of the four constituencies are currently held by Sinn Féin, whose MPs do not take their seats at Westminster under a long-standing policy of abstentionism.
This time, the DUP has agreed to step aside in Fermanagh and South Tyrone, where the party will encourage its supporters to vote for former UUP leader Tom Elliott.
Similarly the DUP will not field a candidate in Newry and Armagh, where the UUP's only Stormont minister, Danny Kennedy, is standing for election.
In turn, the UUP will support former DUP Mayor of Belfast Gavin Robinson in his bid to win back the East Belfast seat from Alliance - Naomi Long unseated the DUP leader at the last general election.
The UUP has also agreed not to stand in North Belfast, where the DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds faces a challenge for his seat from Sinn Féin's Gerry Kelly.
The DUP leader said grassroots unionists wanted to see his party working with the UUP to "maximise the unionist vote".
"I commend the constituency associations from both parties who have considered the bigger picture and accepted they should stand aside in the greater interests of unionism," Mr Robinson said.
"With a predicted hung parliament, I am calling on all unionists to unite behind these agreed candidates and maximise the pro-union voice in the House of Commons."
The UUP leader said he acknowledged "there will be those who feel disappointed that no understanding was possible in South Belfast".
"The key now is to get the pro-union vote out on 7 May, not just in South Belfast but across Northern Ireland," Mr Nesbitt said.
The DUP is currently the fourth largest party at Westminster, while the UUP has no MPs.
East Belfast Alliance MP Naomi Long said: "The DUP clearly now know that Gavin Robinson cannot win against Alliance in a fair fight, so they have resorted to this anti-democratic move in a desperate attempt to strengthen their position.
"Many UUP voters were already disillusioned by the party's involvement in whipping up sectarian tensions around flags and parades and this decision will only serve to further alienate them.
"This decision has sounded the death knell for the UUP in East Belfast, who have abandoned their voters without gaining any truly winnable seats in return."
The EuroMillions ticket for the 8 June draw was bought in the Stevenage or Hitchin area of Hertfordshire.
The missing ticket-holder matched all five numbers - 5, 11, 22, 34 and 40 - and the Lucky Star numbers - 9 and 11.
The deadline to claim the money was 23:00 GMT on Wednesday. It is the biggest unclaimed lottery win in history.
A National Lottery spokeswoman said: "Unfortunately, I can confirm that the ticket-holder did not come forward within the deadline to claim their prize and has now sadly missed out on this staggering amount of money.
"The vast majority of prizes are claimed within the 180 days but to avoid this unfortunate situation happening again, we would urge all National Lottery players to check their tickets on a regular basis."

Write a brief summary of the document. | He and two of the site's controlling shareholders are accused of pimping.
Allegations that the site has carried adverts aiding forced prostitution have dogged the platform for some years.
Liz McDougall, representing Mr Ferrer, told the BBC the prosecution was an "election-year stunt".
"The actions of the California and Texas attorneys general are flatly illegal.
"They ignore the holdings of numerous federal courts that the First Amendment protects the ads on Backpage.com," she said in a statement.
"The actions of the attorneys general also violate Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act pre-empting state actions such as this one and immunising web hosts of third-party created content."
The BBC has contacted the office of the California attorney general for comment.
Adverts offering prostitution services were against the website's policies and were blocked, and the site removed them when contacted by law enforcement, Ms Mcdougall added.
Backpage operates in hundreds cities around the world, including London, Jerusalem, Beijing and Miami.
The State of California Department of Justice conducted a three-year investigation and concluded that "many" of the site's adult escort adverts involved prostitutes and victims of sex trafficking, including children.
"Raking in millions of dollars from the trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable victims is outrageous, despicable and illegal," said Attorney General Kamala D Harris, from the State of California Department of Justice. | The general counsel for Craig Ferrer, chief executive of small ads website Backpage, has said the charges against him made by the California and Texas attorneys general are "illegal". |
Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | Schumacher, 27, was re-enacting a hanging scene during an interactive performance in Pisa, when a spectator realised the stunt had gone wrong.
The actor, who had been in a coma since Saturday night, has subsequently been declared brain dead by doctors.
An investigation has been launched into the theatre's safety procedures.
Keeping actors safe
Schumacher's condition has been deteriorating since he was taken to a local hospital on Sunday. He did not respond to treatment and doctors suggested he had suffered severe and probably irreversible brain damage.
Following a six-hour procedure to establish brain death on Thursday, the hospital issued a statement: "The family and the prosecutor's office have both authorised that his organs be donated, but their removal will be subject to a medical assessment to be performed in the course of the night."
Schumacher was appearing in a production of Mirages at the Teatro Lux.
At the time of the incident, he was reciting a monologue from Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening alone in a courtyard in front of just one spectator. The performance ended with Schumacher placing his head in a noose.
The actor was discovered unconscious and seriously oxygen-deprived by a second spectator, reportedly a medical student, who rushed to his aid.
The actor reportedly changed the ending of the scene, which was meant to involve a gun rather than see him hanging.
The prosecutor's office is looking into the circumstances of the incident. Both his mother and close friends have ruled out suggestions Schumacher took his own life.
It is understood the focus of the investigation will shift from grievous bodily harm to culpable homicide (manslaughter). The main assumption remains it was a tragic accident on stage.
"We are shocked," Gabriele De Luca, the art director at the theatre, told the Daily Mail. "No one, not even us, understands how this happened and it will be up to the police to shed light on it." | Raphael Schumacher, the Italian actor who was accidentally hanged during a live theatre performance, has been declared clinically dead. |
Write a summary for the following excerpt. | The 47-year-old replaces David Moyes, who resigned in May following the Black Cats' relegation to the Championship.
Since taking over at Preston in 2013, Grayson has led them to promotion from League One and two 11th-place finishes in the second tier.
The ex-Huddersfield and Leeds boss has signed a three-year deal on Wearside.
"I am delighted to come to Sunderland, a club with such wonderful history and tradition," said Grayson, who brings Preston assistant Glynn Snodin with him to the Stadium of Light.
"I want a group of players full of desire, team spirit and a never-say-die attitude - that's the very least that we should expect from a Sunderland player."
Sunderland were granted permission to speak to Grayson on Thursday morning, after the club's initial search for a new boss was put on hold earlier in the month while talks over a potential sale of the club were ongoing.
Preston said that, after contact from the Black Cats, Grayson asked to speak to the club, with a statement from North End confirming that a compensation package, believed to be about £750,000, was already guaranteed in his contract.
Sunderland had previously approached Aberdeen to speak to Derek McInnes regarding their managerial vacancy, but he chose to remain with the Scottish Premiership side.
Off the pitch, the Black Cats say owner Ellis Short will "continue his commitment, financially and personally", after talks with a German consortium ended.
A statement on Thursday confirmed they had been in talks with an interested party in the past week, but have now decided the takeover "would not be in the best interests" of the club.
A television production company fronted by Sunderland fans withdrew its bid to take over on 21 June, leaving the German consortium in the running.
But now American Short will continue in charge of the club he has owned since 2009.
"We would like to thank our supporters for their patience during what we know has been a period of uncertainty and frustration for them," said Sunderland's statement. | Sunderland have appointed Preston North End boss Simon Grayson as their new manager after earlier announcing that the proposed sale of the club is off. |

Officers said injuries sustained by the six men were consistent with a variety of weapons - thought to be knives and guns - being used.
Mr Lee was local to the area. A post mortem examination is to be carried out later.
Police Scotland said CCTV footage showed several people looking out windows at the time of the incident and others watching nearby.
Officers have appealed to anyone who saw the disturbance, which happened on the footpath at the bottom of Ballantay Terrace, to contact them.
Officers have been patrolling the area to reassure the local community.
Det Supt Allan Burton said: "The men involved are believed to be known to one another and sought each other out in targeted attacks.
"The end result has been a young man losing his life.
"We have had an encouraging response from the local community so far but I know that there are still people in the area who have not spoken to us.
"I would urge them to get in touch - help us, tell us what you know, your information could prove vital."
A team of about 10 forensics officers were seen at the rear of a nearby property.

Write a brief summary of the document. | Last week, human remains were found close to Cribbs Causeway in Bristol which officers "strongly believe" are those of the missing pensioner.
A post-mortem over the weekend was inconclusive and further DNA testing is now being carried out.
However, Avon and Somerset Police said it was "satisfied that there's nothing to suggest [the death] was suspicious."
The 73-year-old went missing last July, sparking a high-profile campaign to find him.
Decomposed remains were found in undergrowth close to The Mall shopping Centre in Patchway by a member of the public, last Thursday.
Avon and Somerset Police said it had now completed an examination of the area and "strongly believe it is Derek" because of personal items found nearby.
DJ Derek's great-niece Jennifer Griffiths, said the discovery near the shopping centre had been "hurtful".
"I feel like the last eight months - all this searching and looking for him came to nothing because we were looking in the wrong area," she said.
"I feel guilty at the fact that I should have gone with my intuition and started looking at Cribbs Causeway."
DJ Derek, a former accountant, was known to thousands of music fans and played hundreds of sets at local clubs and pubs, as well as at the Glastonbury festival.
He was a resident of St Pauls in Bristol since 1978 and also appeared at gigs across the UK including the Big Chill, worked with Massive Attack and appeared in a Dizzee Rascal video.
Pupils at Osmani School and Thomas Buxton School, 120m (394ft) apart in Whitechapel, were told to stay at home until 16 and 23 November respectively.
The spiders can give a "nasty bite which may cause an allergic reaction in vulnerable people", the schools warned.
Nests and eggs were found in the buildings and school grounds which are closed for fumigation.
"Pest control teams are currently on the premises of both schools, dealing with the infestation of false widow spiders," a spokesperson for Tower Hamlets Council said.
"The spiders are not considered to be dangerous but do bite.
"Due to health concerns for staff and pupils the schools will be closed until next week.
"If you are worried about the health of your child - in particular around spider bites - please do make sure that you refer your child to a local GP."

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | The 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals granted the reprieve less than eight hours before killer Scott Panetti was due to receive a lethal injection.
His lawyers had argued he was too delusional to be executed and sought a delay so his competency can be tested.
Panetti was convicted in the fatal shootings of his in-laws in 1992.
The US Supreme Court in 2002 prohibited the execution of the mentally impaired, but have allowed it for mentally ill inmates with a rational understanding.
A number of conservatives leaders had joined the fight to save Panetti's life, writing a letter asking Texas Governor Rick Perry to commute the death sentence to life in prison.
"As conservatives, we must be on guard that such an extraordinary government sanction not be used against a person who is mentally incapable of rational thought," according to the letter.
"It would be immoral for the government to take this man's life."
Ellen Stewart-Klein, an assistant Texas attorney general, meanwhile told that appeals court Panetti's medical records "strongly indicate rational awareness of his impending execution and the reason for it".
"Panetti's mental status has at best been severely exaggerated by his counsel," she added.
On Monday, in a separate appeal to halt the lethal injection, Panetti's lawyers told the US Supreme Court the Texas inmate was severely mentally ill "before, during and after the crime for which he has been sentenced to death".
Panetti was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1978 and hospitalised more than a dozen times before killing Joe and Amanda Alvarado.
"Imposition of the death penalty on people with severe mental illness, as with people with intellectual disability, does not serve the two goals of deterrence and retribution because of their reduced moral culpability," his lawyers told the court.
The Supreme Court added a provision mandating that an inmate have a rational understanding of why he was being put to death in 2007 under a previous appeal from Panetti.
His case has gone to the high court for review at least five times since his 1995 conviction, records show. | A US appeals court has halted the execution of a schizophrenic Texas inmate who was due to be put to death on Wednesday. |
Provide a summary of the section below. | Odlanier Mena, who was 87 years old, was serving a six-year jail term.
The crimes were allegedly part of the "Caravan of Death" - a military operation thought to have killed more than 100 opponents of the 1973 coup.
On Thursday, President Sebastian Pinera announced plans to close the jail where Mena was being held.
A lawyer representing Mena said his client had been worried about having to be moved from Cordillera to another military facility at Punta Peuco.
Mena is said to have shot himself in the head at home on Saturday. He had been due to return to prison the following day.
At Cordillera, prisoners have access to the internet, cable TV, a tennis court, gardens and a barbecue area.
"He had been terribly upset by the move. It affected him a lot that in Punta Peuco he would not have the medical attention he needed," Jorge Balmaceda told 24 Horas TV.
The comfortable conditions at the prison have been sharply criticised by many in Chile, including former Presidents Ricardo Lagos and Michelle Bachelet.
Critics say military prisoners should not be given different treatment to others serving prison terms.
President Pinera's decision to move the prisoners of Cordillera to Punta Peuco also follows a controversial interview by one of its 10 inmates, the notorious former head of Pinochet's intelligence agency, Manuel Contreras, on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the 1973 coup.
Contreras told reporters there was no torture at the Villa Grimaldi, one of the secret police's main complexes, and that all of the dead during the Pinochet dictatorship were killed in armed confrontations with security forces.
More than 3,000 people died or disappeared in Chile between 1973 and 1990 and nearly 30,000 are believed to have been tortured.
Allegations that a Spaniard was behind the killing were being investigated, Johnny Rodrigues said.
The lion, named Cecil, was shot with a crossbow and rifle, before being beheaded and skinned, he added.
The 13-year-old lion was a major tourist attraction at Zimbabwe's famous Hwange National Park.
Zimbabwe, like many African countries, is battling to curb illegal hunting and poaching which threatens to make some of its wildlife extinct.
Mr Rodrigues, the head of Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, said the use of a bow and arrow heralded a new trend aimed at avoiding arrest.
"It's more silent. If you want to do anything illegal, that's the way to do it," he told BBC's Newsday programme.
However, the lion, which had a distinctive black mane, did not die immediately and was followed for more than 40 hours before it was shot with rifle, Mr Rodrigues said.
The animal had a GPS collar for a research project by UK-based Oxford University, allowing authorities to track its movements.
Mr Rodrigues said Cecil's killing was tragic.
"He never bothered anybody. He was one of the most beautiful animals to look at."
The lion had been "baited" out of the park, a tactic which hunters used to portray their action as legal, Mr Rodrigues said.
Two guides had been arrested and if it was confirmed that the hunter was a Spaniard, "we will expose him for what he is", he added.
The six cubs of Cecil will now be killed, as a new male lion in the pride will not allow them to live in order to encourage the lionesses to mate with him.
"That's how it works... it's in the wild; it's nature taking its course," Mr Rodrigues said. | A former Chilean general and director of intelligence during Augusto Pinochet's rule has killed himself while on weekend release from prison.

Please give a summary of the document below. | Successive mayors have tried to get the legislation to cap the increasing number of minicabs, driven in part by apps like Uber.
So far they have failed which has meant that Transport for London (TfL) has to issue Private Hire Vehicle (PHV) licences if the drivers meet the requirements.
Currently, there are 118,000 licensed private hire drivers who have been blamed for congestion, pollution and an increase in collisions.
If you look at the regulation around this market, you can see where it has been outpaced.
It is only now that more compliance officers are being recruited, and soon there will be 350 officers to police 139,000 vehicles. Previously there were 82 officers.
To pay for that, TfL is having to introduce large fees for minicab operators, some will be millions of pounds.
Helen Chapman, general manager of taxi and private hire at TfL, said: "The operator fees system is no longer fit for purpose.
"It is only fair that licence fees for private hire operators accurately reflect the costs of enforcement and regulating the trade.
"The changes to fees would also enable us to fund additional compliance officers to help crackdown on illegal and dangerous activity."
Even basic data gathering such as the number of collisions and occupants injured in taxis and private hire vehicles isn't split between the two trades.
Although that is now changing, the existing data gives an interesting picture. Between 2013 and 2015 the number of passengers injured in taxis and minicabs went up from 544 to 827 - an increase of 52%.
The corresponding figures for black cabs shows they have remained static at about 21,000 over that period but the number of PHVs went up 54% from 65,656 to 101,434.
There are now calls from the Liberal Democrats on the London Assembly for drivers to be banned from using what they think is causing the problem: apps while driving.
Black cab organisations like the London Cab Drivers Club would also like to see them restricted and they also want much clearer guidance from the Met Police and TfL about when they can be used.
At the moment, TfL says it is up to the individual drivers to make sure they are driving safely.
An Uber spokesperson said: "It is against the law to hold a mobile phone or device in your hand while driving. Drivers must be in proper control of their vehicle and concentrating on the road at all times."
In the middle of a rapidly changing world, it is TfL whose old systems cannot cope with the changing landscape.
Messi's contract expires in 2018 and he is expected to command a new deal on a par with the reported £21m a year earned by Luis Suarez and Neymar.
But La Liga's salary cap means Barca must exercise common sense, Grau said.
"We want the best players but perhaps we have to prioritise," he added.
La Liga agrees budgetary limits with each club at the start of every season, which prevents boards from spending more than 70% of their budget on wages.
The big-money contracts awarded to Messi's fellow forwards Suarez and Neymar, which run until 2021, eat into a significant part of their wage budget, which must also absorb an average player salary of £5.6m - the highest in La Liga.
Messi, 29, reportedly earns about £19m and Grau admitted any increase had to be considered with a "cool head".
"We have to make the numbers add up," he added. "One option is to increase our revenues, as our economic strategy forecasts.
"The club wants the best player in the world to stay at Barca. I would like to ease the concerns of club members and supporters but we have to use common sense." | If there is one area where technology has outpaced regulation in London - and in many other major cities - it has been the rapidly changing taxi and private hire market.

Summarize the content given in the passage. | Dempsey, 35, won his first race of the day but then finished fourth and 14th to allow defending champion Dorian van Rijsselberghe to close the gap.
However the 2012 silver medallist has won an appeal against the 14th place after being knocked into the water.
Scott, 29, sits 10th after two races, with Slovenia's Vasilij Zbogar first.
Although Dempsey said he was happy to be "leading from the front", his 14th place conceded some of the advantage he had gained from a blistering start that saw him win three of the first four races.
He entered the water following an altercation with Lithuania's Juozas Bernotas at the start of the day's sixth race.
The successful protest means the 14th place will be discounted and Dempsey will be awarded a score taken as the average of his first nine race finishes.
"When the wind does that, everything gets clustered and I thought they were going to call the race off," he said.
"I'm leading at the Olympics so I'm happy about that. It's good to race from the front."
Scott, a four-time world champion, missed out on competing at London 2012 to Sir Ben Ainslie despite winning his first world title in 2011.

Violence flared in Rakhine State after a Buddhist woman was raped and murdered by three Muslims.
A series of reprisals and revenge attacks between communities has now left about 50 people dead.
Many of the displaced have sought refuge in Bangladesh, which has now closed its border.
Human rights groups have criticised Bangladesh for the decision, saying it is a violation of international law.
The United Nation's World Food Programme says it has provided emergency food supplies to more than 66,000 people - around two-thirds of those displaced - in the past week.
Poor roads and bridges make reaching many communities difficult, the organisation says.
Two Muslim men convicted of raping and killing the Buddhist woman last month were sentenced to death on Monday.
A third man who died in jail was given a posthumous conviction.
Following the woman's murder in May, a bus carrying Muslims was attacked and 10 people were killed, prompting more unrest in several towns and villages in Rakhine.
Rakhine state is named after the ethnic Rakhine Buddhist majority, but also has a sizeable Muslim population, including the Rohingyas.
The Rohingyas are a Muslim group and are stateless, as Burma considers them to be illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.
The BBC's Jonah Fisher, in Thailand, says there are still reports of sporadic violence but some sort of calm appears to have returned to Rakhine State.
But, our correspondent says, that has not stopped people trying to flee - both internally and across the border to Bangladesh.

Give a short summary of the provided document. | The money will go towards supporting local businesses, creating jobs, building new houses and local infrastructure improvements.
Decisions on where to spend the money will be made by local authorities and businesses.
The £6bn is the first instalment of £12bn the coalition is investing in a series of local "Growth Deals".
Prime Minister David Cameron said: "Growth Deals are a crucial part of our long-term plan to secure Britain's future.
"For too long our economy has been too London-focused and too centralised. Growth Deals will help change all that. They are about firing up our great cities, towns and counties so they can become powerhouses.
"By trusting local people, backing business and investing in infrastructure, skills and housing, we can create thousands of new jobs."
The government says it expects the investment to lead to work on more than 150 roads, 150 housing developments and 20 rail stations, as well as kick-starting super-fast broadband networks.
At the end of last month, the opposition Labour party said it would transfer £30bn of funding from central to local government.
"The government's announcement today falls far short of Labour's plans, with only a small fraction of the £30bn being devolved, no decentralisation of powers over skills, infrastructure and employment and no proposals for city regions to benefit from increased business rates revenue," said shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna.
Figures from £2bn, 2015-16 Local Growth Fund
The decision to invest directly in local economies follows a report by former deputy prime minister Lord Heseltine in 2012 calling for a greater devolution of power from London to the English regions.
The report recommended moving £49bn from central government to regional bodies to help local businesses.
Alex Thomson, chief executive of the Localis think tank, told the BBC that the funding marked "the beginning of the end of the culture of Whitehall knows best".
He said Local Enterprise Partnerships, comprising local authorities and businesses, now had to show they could provide good value for money in order to secure additional funding in the future.
The projects earmarked for investment include £18m to revamp the Metrolink transport system in Manchester, which will include 12 new trams, revamped stations and improved bus services. This is part of a wider £50m transport package across Greater Manchester.
They also include £23m for a new road tunnel linking Swindon to nearby Wichelstowe.

Another striker said that he had been threatened while chasing away a pickpocket: "He said to me, 'why don't you let us work... if this continues you will have problems'."

Please summarize the passage below. | Speaking after the European Central Bank (ECB) said it was not increasing emergency funding to Greek banks, Mr Tsipras said Greek deposits were safe.
Greece is due to make a €1.6bn (£1.1bn) payment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday - the same day that its current bailout expires.
Greece risks default and moving closer to a possible exit from the eurozone.
Greeks have been queuing to withdraw money from cash machines over the weekend, and the Bank of Greece said it was making "huge efforts" to keep the machines stocked.
Greek banks are expected to stay shut until 7 July, two days after Greece's planned referendum on the terms it had been offered by international creditors for receiving fresh bailout money.
The Athens stock exchange will also be closed on Monday.
Capital controls - how do they work?
Eurozone finance ministers blamed Greece for breaking off the talks, and the European Commission took the unusual step on Sunday of publishing proposals by European creditors that it said were on the table at the time.
But Greece described creditors' terms as "not viable", and asked for an extension of its current deal until after the vote was completed.
"[Rejection] of the Greek government's request for a short extension of the programme was an unprecedented act by European standards, questioning the right of a sovereign people to decide," Mr Tsipras on Sunday said in a televised address.
"This decision led the ECB today to limit the liquidity available to Greek banks and forced the Greek central bank to suggest a bank holiday and restrictions on bank withdrawals."
The Greek prime minister said that wages and pensions, as well as bank deposits, were guaranteed.
He also said he had sent a new request for an extension to the bailout. "I am awaiting their immediate response to a fundamental request of democracy," added.
The temporary closure of banks in Greece, and the introduction of capital controls, is very bad news for Greece. Greek people will have less money to spend and business less to invest; so an already weak economy will probably return to deep recession.
As for the impact on the rest of the eurozone, corporate treasurers and wealthy individuals will wake up on Monday wondering if their money is safe in the banks of other weaker eurozone economies.
Greece's bank holiday from hell
The German and British governments advised tourists to take plenty of euros to Greece in case they had trouble withdrawing money.
Following the news from Greece the euro fell by nearly two US cents against the dollar in early Asia Pacific trade, Reuters reported.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and US President Barack Obama spoke about the crisis by phone, agreeing that it was "critically important" to help Greece remain in the eurozone, the White House said.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls told French TV: "We must do everything so that Greece stays in the eurozone.
"Doing everything, that means respecting Greece and democracy, but it's also about respecting European rules. So Greece needs to come back to the negotiating table.''
Sunday's developments come after several days of particular turbulence in Greece's debt crisis.
The current ceiling for the ECB's emergency funding - Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) - is €89bn (£63bn). It is thought that virtually all that money has been disbursed.
The ECB was prepared to risk restricting ELA because the failure of the bailout talks cast new doubt on the viability of Greek banks - some of their assets depend on the government being able to meet its financial commitments, the BBC economics correspondent Andrew Walker reports.
He adds that it is a fundamental principle of central banking that while you do lend to banks that are temporary difficulty, you only do so if they are solvent. | Greek banks are to remain closed and capital controls will be imposed, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras says. |

Dame Lowell Goddard quit in August but denied a report on Friday alleging misconduct and racism against her.
The most senior civil servant in the Home Office has also been asked to explain to MPs what the government knew about her resignation.
Prime Minister Theresa May and the home secretary may also be asked to appear.
Asked if the inquiry was now an embarrassment, Mrs May told the BBC: "No, it's very important.
"We have to remember about all the survivors and victims of child sexual abuse who deserve justice."
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse is investigating the extent to which institutions in England and Wales have failed to protect children from sexual abuse.
Dame Lowell was appointed in February 2015 and became the third inquiry head to quit, resigning in August after 18 months in the role.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd told the Home Affairs Select Committee at the time that she believed Dame Lowell left because she was homesick.
But on Friday, the Times reported that Dame Lowell had been accused of making racist comments and being rude to junior staff, and that senior Home Office staff and advisers knew about alleged comments and other complaints.
The senior New Zealand judge hit back at the claims, and called them "false" and "malicious".
The Home Office later said it had been "made aware of concerns about the professionalism and competence of Justice Goddard" on 29 July, six days before she resigned and several weeks before the home secretary appeared before the committee and made no mention of the concerns.
The committee has asked Dame Lowell to appear either in person or by video link from her home in New Zealand.
Labour MP Chuka Umunna, who is a member of the committee, said: "Not only would this help with the smooth running of the inquiry going forward, but I believe she owes it to the survivors and their families."
Permanent secretary Mark Sedwill will be asked to appear in front of the committee, possibly as early as Tuesday.
MP Tim Loughton, the committee's acting chair, said Mr Sedwill would be giving evidence "on the basis that he was sitting alongside the new home secretary [Ms Rudd] when the committee questioned her about the Lowell Goddard situation."
Mr Loughton said the committee would also need to "decide whether to call Theresa May, rather than Amber Rudd, as she was home secretary when the whole thing came to a head about Lowell Goddard".
Diane Abbott MP, Labour's shadow home secretary, said they were "grave allegations" and demanded an assurance there had been no attempt to cover up the accusations made about Dame Lowell.
"Because if true, it would mean that the home secretary knowingly put at risk the integrity of the entire inquiry," she said.
Though the child abuse inquiry is independent of the government, the Home Office would have had the power to remove the judge from her post, but a Home Office statement said it had received no formal complaint.
A source on the committee said it did not have the power to compel Dame Lowell to appear but suggested it could announce a formal censure if she failed to give further evidence.

"Playing in England has been a good experience and one that has made me a better and more rounded player.
"I still see myself as a 10, but I'm happy to play either there or at full-back."
Glasgow Warriors assistant coach Jason O'Halloran is looking forward to working with Jackson.
"Ruaridh is an experienced player who will add to the competition we have within our squad," he said.
"He knows the club well from his previous time here and can play in a number of positions in the backline."
The move is seen as a way to improve animal welfare and develop responsible dog ownership by helping identify strays.
It is estimated 190,000 dogs will need to be microchipped before the March 2015 deadline.
Nearly 60% of dogs in Wales have chips, which have coded owners' details.
In England, compulsory microchipping will not come into force until April 2016.
Some charities offer the procedure for free but it costs about £20-£30 at a private veterinary clinic.
It involves inserting a sterile chip the size of a grain of rice between a dog's shoulder blades.
The Welsh minister for Natural Resources Alun Davies said it was increasingly important to have a method of tracing dogs back to their owners.
"Dog owners already have a duty of care under the Animal Welfare Act but it can be difficult to ensure that this duty is being met without a reliable form of identification," he said.
"By microchipping all dogs in Wales we can formalise the relationship between an owner and pet and ensure an increased level of accountability."
Mr Davies said public consultation had shown there is "overwhelming support" for the plans.
According to the Dogs Trust - which has a re-homing centre in Bridgend - the total number of stray dogs in Wales increased from 9,482 in 2011 to 10,230 in 2012.
The charity plans to offer free microchipping to dog owners in Wales before the regulations come in.
The trust's chief executive officer, Clarissa Baldwin, said: "Microchipping involves a minimal one-off cost, but the benefits last a life-time.
"The reality is that no matter how responsible an owner you are there is a chance your dog could get lost or stolen - micro-chipping is the most effective way to assist in a lost dog being returned to its owner."
The British Veterinary Association's (BVA) Welsh branch secretary, Bob Stevenson, said: "This is fantastic news for dog welfare in Wales.
"Microchipping provides veterinary practices, charities, and dog wardens with the ability to reunite lost and stray dogs quickly and safely with their owners.
"It is important to remember that microchips are only as useful as the information held on the database and we must all work together with the Welsh government to ensure that dog owners understand the importance of keeping their information up to date."
Compulsory microchipping came into force in Northern Ireland last year. | Scotland fly-half Ruaridh Jackson has left Harlequins to return to Glasgow Warriors on a one-year contract.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | England midfielder Livermore had been suspended since May following a positive cocaine test.
He played 69 minutes and was given a rousing reception by the home fans.
David Meyler's close-range finish before the break was enough for Hull to progress, with the visitors missing a host of first-half chances.
Livermore was spared a lengthy ban by the Football Association because of "unique" personal circumstances.
Swansea made 10 changes from Saturday's draw with Everton and had plenty of chances in the opening 45 minutes, but they were made to rue their wastefulness.
Matt Grimes headed over, Gylfi Sigurdsson slid the ball past an empty net and Wayne Routledge missed two chances.
The winner came when Shaun Maloney's header was parried into the path of Meyler, who poked home underneath the crossbar.
Hull were more comfortable after the break although Kyle Bartley hit the post late on for the frustrated visitors.
Hull manager Steve Bruce:

"He's been through a tough time, a really tough time, and it's important now he gets his career back on track."
Swansea boss Garry Monk:
"If you played that game 100 times you'd win 99.
"They scored with pretty much their only chance and we had so many chances it could have been a cricket score in the first half.
"We just didn't take any of them and got hit with a classic sucker punch. We showed a lack of composure which was disappointing."

Write a summary of this document. | A legal wrangle means they are "highly unlikely" to move into their new stadium as scheduled for 2017-18.
The Premier League club may have to find an alternative venue while construction work is carried out.
Plans for the 56,250-capacity stadium, next to their current White Hart Lane ground, are being challenged by the landowners.
Progress on the project appeared to take a big step forward in July when a compulsory purchase order of land was approved.
But a Spurs statement issued on Wednesday said that decision was being challenged in the High Court and the club fear they will not able to move into the new stadium for the start of the 2017-18 season.
"The club has revised its construction programme in order to take the shortest possible time to construct," said the statement.
"This now therefore involves the club moving away from the Lane during construction for a period of one season, to start at the beginning of a season in order to comply with Premier League rules.
"We are currently undertaking due diligence on alternative stadium options."
The stadium would be built as part of a development that would also include the land their current home (capacity 36,240) stands on.
In 2011, Tottenham lost out to West Ham in a bid to move to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford.
The venue - which will be the Hammers' home from the 2016-17 season - is reportedly among alternatives, together with Wembley and Milton Keynes Dons, being considered for the time away from White Hart Lane.
But with West Ham established as the prime tenant, it is thought the Olympic Stadium is not a front-runner in the search for a temporary home. | Tottenham Hotspur face having to play all their home matches away from White Hart Lane for one season. |
Can you summarize the following content in brief? | Frankly, British prime ministers and governments have often found it hard to slot in. And since the referendum, what has always been a tricky relationship has taken on new layers of complexity, upset and uncertainty too.
There will be no significant discussions about how we leave the European Union, no digging through the details.
Leader after leader made that perfectly clear as they stepped out of their shiny black BMWs, arriving at the summit on Thursday afternoon.
Even if Theresa May had made up her mind, and persuaded the cabinet to do the same - which, remember, is a long way off - European leaders will not engage in much more than small talk until the technical legal process has begun.
And there is not much appetite for making it easy either. As French President Francois Hollande, with a stinging Gallic shrug, said: If Theresa May wants a "hard Brexit", the negotiations "will be hard". He, of course is in rather a lot of trouble at home, so perhaps, just perhaps, sounding off about something else could provide a useful domestic distraction.
Of course, Number 10 hopes to build up the vital relationships here, to turn the pleasantries into meaningful exchanges. But Theresa May's first summit here as prime minister was not a day for details, let alone decisions.
But to dismiss it would be to miss the political point.
Theresa May finds herself in a weird political twilight zone. She's been keen to reassure EU leaders on Thursday, particularly after the febrile atmosphere of the Tory conference, that Britain is - today, tomorrow and after Brexit - a dependable ally.
Whatever was said on the fringes in Birmingham, her decision to talk immediately about the importance of Europe taking a strong united approach on Russia, is a signal that she wants her counterparts to believe that Britain isn't just in a headlong rush to the exit door, and won't crash out of the union in chaos.
Her desire for what Number 10 call a "smooth Brexit" is designed to reassure. How many of her counterparts believe that's remotely possible, is a rather different question.
Watching her meet and greet the other EU leaders was seeing a leader go through the familiar political choreography.
Tony Blair always seemed to try to "work" the whole room, like the host at a weird cocktail party where the guests weren't really friends.
Gordon Brown seemed to opt to engage intently with a favoured serious few. David Cameron often appeared to try to get as close as possible to the influential others, often cracking a few jokes, performing for the cameras, as he settled down to business.
Watching Theresa May press the flesh in her more formal way, I was struck that she believes she will be the last British prime minister to do so, and unless something extremely unexpected happens, that will come to pass.
And that's why today matters.
We're seeing the first few encounters in a political relationship that will shape her future, and of course, all of ours.
The prime minister's most significant act in office is likely to be leading us out of the European Union.And how that departure unfolds will be decided by the group gathered here. The prime minister's success or failure in Number 10 will likely be decided here in Brussels - not in Britain.

What is the summary of the following document? | Raymond Sykes smashed Arthur Walters-Girout's skull and cheek and went on a spending spree in JD Sports and GS Superfoods in Woolwich.
The body of Mr Walters-Girout, 82, lay undiscovered at his home in Sidcup, south east London, for five days.
Sykes, 36, must serve at least 25 years in prison for the murder.
He was sentenced at the Old Bailey earlier.
Sykes, of Engineer Close, Woolwich, claimed he had carried out a mercy killing after he found his former neighbour hitting himself over the head with a claw hammer in June 2015.
Jurors dismissed his claims and convicted him on Tuesday.
At sentencing, Sykes was told his claims he tried to help the victim kill himself were "wholly inconceivable".
During the attack the unemployed father-of-four gained the pin for the stolen bank card and threw a phone across the room to prevent Mr Walters-Girout calling for help.
He was later found dead, slumped in a chair in the living room.
After the attack Sykes drove off in the victim's car to join two others - Jason Hill, 23, and Ashley Hill, 22 - for a spending spree.
In total 84 transactions were made to steal more than £2,400 from the victim's bank account, though Sykes was only involved with three purchases.
Sykes twice tried to hang himself while awaiting trial for murder and also had a history of depression and financial worries, the court heard.
Jason and Ashley Hill, both from Woolwich, previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud and will be sentenced at a later date.
Regulations were unveiled in March that outlawed foreign ownership of online publishing services.
The rules also required that all content shown to Chinese people must be stored on servers based on the Chinese mainland.
Apple said it hoped access to the services would be restored soon.
Currently, anyone in China who visits the iBooks store or tries to use iTunes Movies service is greeted with a message in Chinese saying the services were "unusable", reports Reuters. Both services have only been available in China for about six months.
The move has widely been seen as a blow to Apple which is keen to ensure its products are popular and sell well in China, because the region is the second biggest market for its products. The shutdown comes only days before Apple reports its second quarter financial results.
The services were shut down on the orders of China's media watchdog - the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television. The action is believed to be part of a wider attempt by China's government to consolidate its control over the internet and media organisations.
China has defended the restrictions saying online publishing had to be monitored to combat terrorism and foreign ideas that could prove harmful.

Mr Coyne said he was "deeply disappointed, but not surprised" by his dismissal, which he says he was notified of by email.
He was suspended in April after accusations of bringing Unite into disrepute.
Mr Coyne said he would appeal against the decision.
Mr Coyne said he faced seven charges at a disciplinary hearing but three were thrown out before it got under way and three more were dismissed in the final hearing.
The seventh charge, he said, related to an alleged technical data breach, which was claimed to have damaged the relationship between Unite and the Labour Party.
"This preposterous trumped-up charge has been used to indict me - even though the returning officer from Electoral Reform Services had already ruled that there was no breach of the rules," Mr Coyne added.
During the proceedings, he said "no complaint was raised" about the way he carried out the role in the 16 years he held it.
But, he says he was told union rules required his role to be "the general secretary's representative in the region".
"It was implied that, because of the way I criticised Len McCluskey during the campaign, I could not fulfil that role," he added.
"It was always clear to me that the charges were nothing more than a stitch-up. My real 'crime' was having the audacity to challenge Mr McCluskey in the General Secretary election that he called unnecessarily," he added.
"It is a public warning to any member of Unite's staff who is thinking of challenging the way the McCluskey gang run the union: step out of line and you will be out of a job. Political dissent is not tolerated inside Unite."

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Five white police officers were shot dead by a black man, Micah Johnson, during a protest rally on Thursday.
The march was against the killing of black men by police. Two deaths this week have led to nationwide protests.
Mr Obama said "it was just not true" the US was returning "to the situation in the 60s".
His comments, on the side of a Nato summit in Warsaw, echoed those earlier of Vice-President Joe Biden, who said Americans had a duty to stand up against injustice, but that people also needed to support police.
Johnson, who was himself killed during the assault in Dallas, supported black militant groups who encouraged violence against police.
Dallas police chief David Brown said Johnson had told a negotiator that he had wanted to kill white people, especially white police officers, because he was angry about the recent shootings of black men by police.
The attack came after the police killings of Philando Castile in Minnesota and Alton Sterling in Louisiana.
Mr Obama said Americans of "all races, all backgrounds", including many of those who were protesting, were outraged by the Dallas killings.
The unity shown in the wake of the attack was a strong foundation on which to build, he said.
"When you start suggesting that, somehow, there is this enormous polarisation and we are back to the situation in the 60s, it's just not true," he said.
"You are not seeing riots and you are not seeing police going after people who are protesting peacefully.
"We have seen almost uniformly peaceful protests and we have seen, uniformly, police handling those protests with professionalism.
"And so, as tough, as hard, as depressing as the loss of life this week, we have got a foundation to build on. We just have to have confidence that we can build on those better angels of our nature."
He also repeated his call for urgent action on gun control, saying anyone who cared "about the safety of our police officers" had a duty to address the issue.
As well as the five police officers killed, another seven were injured. Two civilians were also hurt.
The shootings of police officers have made even the critics of the police force here soften their language.
One of these critics, Greg Johnson, a stage technician, came into a convenience store with a colleague, Keelen Whitfield, during their lunch break.
Mr Johnson said he resented the way police officers carry heavy weaponry and artillery when dealing with the community. He said that they tote around the kind of weapons used in war zones.
"Why do you have to got so militarised?" he said.
Still, he didn't condone the violence. "At the end of the day, those police officers - they're innocent," he said.
Mr Whitfield said he hoped that the shootings, however brutal, might change things.
"The police may get the message to kind of tone it down on African-Americans."

Johnson, 25, who officials say acted alone, was killed by remotely detonated explosives that were sent into a car park where he had taken refuge after the shootings.
He was a member of the US Army Reserve from 2009 to 2015 who had served in Afghanistan.
Bomb-making material, rifles and a combat journal were found his home in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite.
A number of gun attacks involving police officers and civilians have occurred in other parts of the US in the aftermath of the deaths in Minnesota and Louisiana.
The violence was also addressed by US tennis player Serena Williams after she won her 22nd Grand Slam title at Wimbledon on Saturday.

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | Coppola, an Oscar-winner for Lost in Translation, will direct a new production of Giuseppe Verdi's tragedy La Traviata at the Rome Opera.
She was enlisted by fashion designer Valentino Garavani, a fan since seeing her lavish 2006 film Marie Antoinette.
The venue and its patron Garavani - known as Valentino - said the drama balanced "the classic and the modern".
Like Marie Antoinette, Verdi's opera is set in 18th Century Paris.
But, based on the play La Dame aux Camelias by Alexandre Dumas fils - the son of The Count of Monte Cristo author Alexandre Dumas - it tells the story, not of a queen but of a young courtesan who sacrifices all for love.
Rome Opera Foundation's general manager Carlo Fuortes said the production of La Traviata would take inspiration from the world of film and would be a "momentous event".
Coppola, the daughter of Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola, won the best original screenplay Oscar for her 2003 film Lost Translation, starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson.
Her other notable films include The Virgin Suicides and Somewhere, for which she won the Golden Lion at the Berlin Film Festival.
Nathan Crowley, who worked on two Batman movies, will design the production.
Meanwhile, Valentino will fittingly create the costumes for his collaboration with Coppola. He will be helped by the two designers who took over from him at the fashion house that still bears the Valentino trademark name.
The involvement of the celebrated fashion designer has been a big boost for the Rome Opera House whose finances have been hit hard by the European financial crisis.
It finally returned to break even last year after cutting costs and accepting state funds. The engagement of the world famous designer has added extra kudos, funds, and now celebrity sway.
There will be 15 shows of La Traviata from 24 May to 30 June. | Film director Sofia Coppola is to make her live opera debut in Rome later this year. |
Please summarize the given passage. | Government figures show there are expected to be around half a million more secondary age children by 2026.
The increase is being fuelled by the baby boom of the early 2000s, which means growing numbers of pupils moving through the school system
Overall pupil numbers are expected to increase by 654,000 (or 8.7%) to around 8.1m by 2026.
In secondary schools alone, the overall population is projected to reach around 3.3m in 2026, a 19.1% increase or around 534,000 more pupils.
This is the second year running that secondary school numbers have risen, the government report said.
It added: "This is primarily because increased births from 2002 onwards means there are now larger numbers entering secondary schools at age 11 than are leaving them at age 16."
Primary school numbers are projected to be around 100,000 higher in 2026.
"Direct immigration of pupils born outside the UK has a very small effect on the school age population," the Department for Education report says.
"However, the birth rate, which has a much larger effect, is in turn affected by any increase in the number of children born to non-UK born women (who overall tend to have higher fertility rates)."
Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said the pressure on secondary school places would be intense going forward.
He added this meant decisions on new school building and expansions needed to be taken carefully and with local knowledge.
He said: "There's huge urgency to this and we are all watching it closely." | The number of pupils in England's secondary schools is set to rise by almost a fifth within the next decade. |

Can you summarize the given article? | America's 14-time major champion, 41, came back after 15 months out injured in December, but has not played since his back problems recurred in February.
Plans to compete at Augusta in April - on the 20th anniversary of his first Masters win - had to be abandoned.
"I want to play professional golf again but I'm not looking ahead," he said.
"I can't twist for another two and a half to three months. Right now, my sole focus is rehab and doing what the doctors tell me. I am concentrating on short-term goals."
Woods' first return to competitive action came in December at the Hero World Challenge - an 18-man tournament in the Bahamas - and he finished 15th at the PGA Tour event.
He has not won a tournament anywhere since 2013, while his title drought in major championships dates back to 2008.
"It has been just over a month since I underwent fusion surgery on my back, and it is hard to express how much better I feel. It was instant nerve relief. I haven't felt this good in years," he wrote on his website.
"The long-term prognosis is positive. My surgeon and physiotherapist say the operation was successful. I'm walking and doing my exercises, and taking my kids to and from school. All I can do is take it day by day. There's no hurry.
"But I want to say unequivocally, I want to play professional golf again."

It is the first time the procedure has been performed in Europe.
The technique, originally developed in India, offers patients the chance of a much faster recovery after the operation.
Normally a kidney transplant would involve serious open surgery and a sizeable incision to perform the transplant.
The team at the Royal Liverpool used keyhole surgery to implant the donor kidney through an incision of just 6cm (2in).
A smaller incision is a lot less invasive for the patient and heals more quickly.
The technique was developed by Prof Pranjal Modi at the Institute of Kidney Diseases and Research Centre in Ahmedabad.
He said: "It is tremendously beneficial to the patient. I talk one-to-one to all the patients and they are so happy.
"Their outcomes are so good that I am encouraged to do it further and further."
Brian Blanchfield, a company director, had spent years living with a failing kidney before his sister Pam donated one of hers.
He was up and about just four days after the operation.
He told the BBC: "I'm feeling good.
"They said I'd be the first one to do it, and the interesting thing was they asked me where I wanted the kidney to go.
"So they went through my appendix scar, as there was already a cut line there."
Sanjay Mehra, a consultant transplant surgeon at the Royal Liverpool, who assisted with the operation, believes there are significant benefits.
"[In the past] the scar has been around 20-25cm for the renal transplant patients," she said.
"But here the scar is around 6cm, so there is a huge difference in the size of the scar, which has a cosmetic benefit.
"But also in the long scar there is muscle cutting, which can give problems in the long term."
Elaine Davies, director of research operations for Kidney Research UK, says about 6,000 people - roughly 90% of the total organ waiting list - are waiting for a kidney.
But fewer than 3,000 transplants are carried out each year.
She said: "As this new technique results in the creation of a smaller wound, it limits surgical complications and improves recovery time, which will ultimately be better for the patient.
"Keyhole surgery for the retrieval of kidneys has already made a big difference to donors.
"As long as this technique for transplanting a kidney is proven to be as safe and as effective as the current technique, we welcome this development."
This is not a technique that will be used in every kidney transplant.
It is most suitable for those patients who are very overweight, where major abdominal surgery carries greater risk.
But it shows how keyhole surgery is now providing new options for surgeons in even the most complicated operations. | Tiger Woods says he "hasn't felt this good in years" after having a fourth operation on his back, but added he will not "hurry" to return to golf.

Please summarize the following text. | Market researchers Kantar Worldpanel said there was an overall growth of 0.3% in the 12 weeks to 14 August, boosted by the warm weather.
Lidl and Aldi recorded like-for-like sales growth of 12.2% and 10.4%.
Tesco had a sales drop of 0.4% compared with 2015, the slowest in six months.
Fraser McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Kantar Worldpanel, said: "Current trends suggest the retailer may return to growth this year, which would mark the end of a decline stretching back to March 2015."
Asda remained at the bottom, with sales down 5.5%. Last week, Asda reported its worst quarterly performance on record.
Sainsbury's saw sales fall 0.6% and Morrisons by 1.8%.
Market researcher Nielsen, which has published industry data in the 12 weeks up to 13 August, found similar trends.
It and Kantar noted that promotional sales had dropped, reflecting the big four supermarkets' move towards simpler pricing models and permanent price cuts.
Mike Watkins, Nielsen's UK head of retailer and business insight, said the big four supermarkets were simplifying "the overall customer offer in response to the growth of the discounters by lowering the level of promotions and reducing multi-buys, instead moving to permanent price cuts".
He added that the hot weather and success at Rio had helped boost overall supermarket sales.
"Brexit seems to have been replaced by an Olympic 'feel-good' factor among shoppers and there were more visits to buy food and drink in the last four weeks than this time last year."
Nielsen said the strongest category performances were in soft drinks, with mineral water sales up by 18.5%. This was followed by frozen foods driven by ice-cream sales.
Kantar said grocery price inflation remained negative, with a representative basket of goods 1.3% cheaper than it was last year. | German discount chains Lidl and Aldi have continued to grab market share from the big four supermarkets, which all reported a drop in sales, according to market data. |

Give a short summary of the provided document. | The reason? The speed is faster than what one would expect from measurements of the cosmos shortly after the Big Bang.
Some other telescopes have found this same problem, too.
But Gaia’s contribution is particularly significant because the precision of its observations is unprecedented.
“It certainly ups the ante,” says Adam Riess from the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) and the Johns Hopkins University, both in Baltimore, Maryland, US.
The inability to lock down a value for the expansion rate has far-reaching consequences - not least in how we gauge the cosmic timescale.
If the Gaia speedometer is correct, it would mean having to reduce the estimated 13.88-billion-year age of the Universe by perhaps a few hundred million years.
The European Space Agency (Esa) mission, launched in 2013, is making the definitive map of our Milky Way Galaxy, logging extremely accurate distances to a billion nearby stars.
Just last week, it issued the first tranche of separations to two million objects, and this information was immediately seized upon by thousands of astronomers worldwide - Prof Riess and his team among them.
The Nobel Laureate was interested in a specific subset of stars in the data dump known as cepheid variables.
These are pulsating stars that puff up and deflate in a very regular fashion and shine with a known power output.
They are a lower rung on the “ladder” that astronomers use to plot the separation between our galaxy and the positions of galaxies that lie billions of light-years away.
Once you know the cepheids’ exact distance, you can use their behaviour to calibrate higher rungs on the ladder - specifically, a class of supernovae, or exploded stars, that also shine in a standard way.
And by probing a sufficiently deep volume of space, it is then possible to trace the rate at which the modern cosmos is expanding.
Gaia's imperative - To work out how far it is to the nearest stars
The tell-tale is the way the light from progressively more distant galaxies becomes stretched to longer wavelengths.
This relationship is known as the Hubble Constant and tying down its value is one of the great quests in astronomy.
Working with a clutch of 212 Gaia cepheids, Prof Riess’s team gets a Hubble Constant for today’s Universe of 73.0 kilometres per second per megaparsec (a megaparsec is 3.26 million light-years).
Or put another way - the expansion increases by 73.0km/second for every 3.26 million light-years we look further out into space.
The number is almost exactly the same as the value the Riess group has produced using cepheids observed by the mighty Hubble telescope (73.2km/s per megaparsec). Both values have an uncertainty of just over 2%.
The problem is that these calculations come out quite a bit bigger than the one that has been determined using a very different method.
This alternative focuses on the Universe as it was just after the Big Bang and relies on what we know about the contents and the physics at work in the cosmos to predict a modern value of the expansion.
It has been done most recently using data from Esa’s Planck space telescope, which produced the most detailed description of the “oldest light” in the sky - a remnant glow of microwave radiation from the Big Bang itself.
Going with this method gives a Hubble Constant of 66.9km/s per megaparsec.
As Gaia repeats and extends its cepheid measurements in the years ahead (and it is expected to plot precise distances to at least 7,000), the confidence in its Hubble Constant calculation is likely only to increase.
This would put pressure on scientists to revise some of the components they plug into the Planck side to remove the tension that exists between the two approaches. And it is a fair bet that any such revisions are almost certainly rooted in what we know - or rather do not know - about the “dark Universe”.
This includes the unseen matter in galaxies (dark matter), the vacuum energy (dark energy) postulated to be driving an acceleration in cosmic expansion, and even as yet unidentified massive particles.
“Gaia is going to be a very important, really revolutionary, way to measure distances,” said Prof Riess.
“Ultimately, when Gaia is done, we ought to be able to measure the Hubble Constant to 1% precision. That’s the same precision that is predicted by the Cosmic Microwave Background. That will be really powerful.
"And if there is a discrepancy, if there's something interesting going on in the dark sector of the Universe, it should give us much better evidence of what that is,” he told BBC News.
Prof Gerry Gilmore was a proposer of the Gaia mission and is one of its senior researchers.
He said members of the Gaia science team had also run the cepheid numbers and produced a value very similar to Prof Riess’s.
Asked to list possible reasons for the discrepancy, the Cambridge University scientist raised the possibility that dark energy was time-dependent - that its influence evolves through the history of the Universe.
“Another idea that people have become quite keen on in the past year is that we actually live, by chance, in a low-density part of the Universe,” he explained.
“It’s still quite a big part of the cosmos, perhaps 1-2%, but because it’s a low-density part it’s accelerating faster than the average.” | Europe’s Gaia space telescope has been used to clock the expansion rate of the Universe and - once again - it has produced some head-scratching. |
Summarize the passage below. | It argues too much money goes to large-scale farms and says assisting smaller, more diverse farms would help the countryside and rural communities.
At present, farmers get about £3bn a year in subsidies, with the biggest farmers receiving as much as £1m.
The National Farmers' Union said it was wrong to say all big farms were "bad".
The CPRE has set out its vision for the future of agriculture after the UK leaves the European Union in a paper titled New Model Farming.
Farmers currently receive subsidies and other payments under the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) - but will cease to get EU funding once the UK leaves the EU.
Ministers have promised to maintain EU levels of funding until at least 2020.
What could Brexit mean for farmers?
The grants, which are given for owning land and also taking care of wildlife, can amount to up to 60% of some farmers' income.
Existing level of state aid needed to be justified, and there should be a shift away from giving money to "industrial farms", the CPRE report said.
Such large-scale farms damaged the environment and put smaller farmers out of business, it claimed.
Subsidies should instead be directed towards smaller farms, and land should be made available for new farmers to enter the market, it said.
The charity argued this would benefit the countryside, and help rural communities reconnect with farming.
The National Farmers' Union has welcomed the Treasury's promise to maintain EU levels of farming subsidies until 2020, saying it would give "longer-term confidence" for farming businesses.
Cate Le Grice Mack, from the CPRE, told BBC Radio 4's Today programme there had been "a huge decline" in biodiversity in the UK.
She said authorities needed to make sure we are "maximising the potential for our landscape - for food, but also for wildlife and biodiversity".
"What we are saying is that farmers need encouraging and supporting and helping to actually improve the natural landscape.
"They are the people who can do it, they are the people with the skills, this is about encouragement and help."
Minette Batters, deputy president of the NFU - which has launched a month-long consultation of its members on post-Brexit farming policy - said the UK had "incredibly diverse farmers".
"What we cannot say is that big is bad, or small is good", she said.
"The point is we have a very diverse food and farming landscape in this country that the consumer benefits from."
She added: "Farms doors are open, the public can see what is going on and I really do not think we have industrial farming."

Please summarize the passage below. | That is the role filmmaker Nathan Jennings believes TJ's had in Newport, with its influence growing out of the miners' strike and still felt today.
It is seven years on Tuesday since its owner John Sicolo died.
Director Jennings, 29, is making a film on the life of a man who helped put the city on the world music map.
While the club closed in 2010 after his death, the calibre of acts it attracted led DJ John Peel to add the word "Legendary" to its title while Magazine FHM put it in its "Top 50 nights out in the world" in 1997.
Yet, Jennings' documentary will be a social commentary focusing mainly on the effect it had on an area undergoing hard economic times with the demise of the mines and cuts at the steelworks.
"About one in two or three households in Newport and further away stepped through those doors," he said.
"Every town has its club like The Hacienda (Manchester) and The 100 Club (London), that captures an era, people feel connected to and which gives the area its identity.
"TJ's for a long time was that for Newport."
He started going as a teenager to meet "likeminded people and an alternative crowd" and feels it became a second home for many because the owner made everyone feel "part of his extended family".
As well as attracting bands such as Green Day, The Offspring and Therapy, owner Sicolo also allowed "mess-around bands" to get up and play.
"John was a chef in the merchant navy and would let performers stay above the club and cook for them," Mr Jennings added.
"They would come over on the 'toilet circuit' of smaller clubs and say they were well looked after, talk of the hospitality, and word spread with bands from around the world then wanting to come."
However, Jennings believes the evolution of the city into a music destination started a long time before El Sieco's changed its name to TJ's in 1985.
In the late 1970s, the Stow Hill Labour Club was one of the city's main venues, attracting acts such as The Cure, Adam Ant and The Sex Pistols.
Then in 1979, Simon Phillips opened Rockaway Records in Newport Market - which led to him putting on fundraising punk nights for miners and the Ethiopian famine.
"These shows appeared at random, intimate venues, such as Billy Bragg in the dockers' club. When the strike was over, he kept doing them," Jennings said.
"When Simon met John great things happened, with his ability to attract acts and John's warm personality.
"These days you get big, corporate venues, but they don't have the personality of the smaller ones. You felt the music in TJ's, were close to it, it was the perfect intimate venue.
"The sad thing is, it closed when John died. he poured his heart and soul into it."
Rockaway Records' Phillips put on about 300 shows under his Cheap Sweaty Fun banner between 1986 and 2007, and while the capacity was officially 400, Jennings believes many attracted far more - including about 700 for a performance by American band Rocket from the Crypt in 1996.
However, it was not just a proving ground for acts from across the Atlantic - some believe it was a birthplace of the "Cool Cymru" movement, which saw many Welsh bands achieve huge acclaim.
Jennings said acts such as Feeder, Manic Street Preachers and 60ft Dolls "found their feet there", while Catatonia filmed the video for single "Mulder and Scully" at TJ's.
Others who had played or recorded in the city or nearby such as Metallica, Iron Maiden and the Stone Roses would also pop in.
It is was also where the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain reputedly proposed to Courtney Love, who was fronting a gig at TJ's with her band Hole.
The documentary is in the early stages of production with a number of interviews already recorded and Mr Jennings plans to travel to the USA to speak to bands who played at TJ's, before entering it into international film festivals.
He said: "It created something positive, a sense of inclusion for people who may have felt like outsiders and were having a hard time economically.
"Newport is not the nicest place in parts. I am proud to be from there, but it can be dark and gritty.
"This will be the story of how music can be at the heart of a community, something people can relate to around the world." | Sometimes a nightclub can capture the spirit of a city and come to represent the dreams and aspirations of many alienated people who live in it. |

The Australian, 42, has been head coach at Leicester since July 2010 and has led the Tigers to successive runner-up positions in the Premiership.
O'Connor was a backs coach in Australia before his Leicester role.
The son of a former Australian rugby league professional, O'Connor played most of his club rugby in Canberra with ACT and then the Brumbies and was capped at senior level by Australia against Ireland.

What is the summary of the provided article? | The figures obtained by BBC Wales reveal that nearly one in seven routes across 19 council areas have been axed.
The charity Age Cymru warned of the impact this could have on older people saying they could become increasingly isolated and cut off from services.
The Welsh government said it was reviewing ways of funding services.
But a spokesperson also added that decisions on support for local service remained with councils.
Responses to a Freedom of Information request show 93 services have been cut from 656 subsidised routes between 2011 and 2014.
Some councils warned they were continuing to review bus services following cuts to transport budgets after a 25% reduction in Welsh government funding.
Nineteen out of Wales' 22 councils responded to the BBC Wales questions on bus routes:
Mavis Jones, a regular bus user in Brymbo, is near a bus route which is at risk in Wrexham.
She said: "I'd be stuck in the house and I wouldn't be able to go out at all because we haven't got a car and we don't drive, so the buses are very important.
"It would affect the elderly dreadfully. They wouldn't be able to go out to contact anybody, to have a chat or go anywhere at all to meet anyone. They'd be like prisoners in their own home."
In a statement, Wrexham council said: "At this time, no services have yet been identified as being cut or withdrawn.
"The budget will be discussed by full council on 26 February and we are awaiting to see what funding, if any, will come from the Welsh government after April."
Rob Lewis, deputy leader of Pembrokeshire council, told BBC Radio Wales it was becoming more challenging for councils to provide the same level of service when faced with tough budget decisions.
He said the local authority had received more than 700 responses from bus users, which it would use to design a revised service.
"What we are trying to do is provide a service, although it may not be the perfect service we would like to see, but to ensure that people do at least have an opportunity... for them to move around the county albeit on a limited basis," he said.
The latest figures on service cuts follow a report by the charity Age Cymru last December.
In it, the charity claimed there was a lack of bus services in many communities.
Spokesman Iwan Rhys Roberts said: "Older people will become increasingly isolated and cut off from services. They will not be able to access the services that they need. It's a big concern for us."
Responding to the bus service cuts, a Welsh government spokesman told BBC Wales that the transport minister was looking for "innovative solutions" to deliver an efficient, sustainable bus service across Wales.
"But local authorities are responsible for determining how they spend the funding we provide and identify which services should be supported and at what level," added the government spokesperson.

The chairman of the Society of Sports Therapists, Prof Graham Smith, told the BBC: "It was not about going 'bah, humbug'. Have fun, but be careful."
He said: "While it is a fun sport it can be very dangerous and should be treated with a large degree of respect, especially as for some, it is something that is done only once or twice a year."
By contrast regular skaters learn "how to fall properly".
If you fall, he recommends tucking your arms in and rolling - rather than putting you hand out to stop the fall, which could damage the hand or be hit by another skater's blades.
He said the hazards were greater for older people.
Peter Cornall, head of leisure safety at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said: "Leisure activities should be as safe as necessary, not as safe as possible; when going ice skating this means you should expect to fall over and for others to bump into you - in fact, that is part of the fun.
"If you're going skating, wearing a pair of gloves is always a good idea, as is wearing whatever protective kit the rink operators give you and lacing up your skates properly.
He also warned people not to over-estimate their ability: "you probably won't be able to recreate what you see during the Winter Olympics," he said.
The Modern Family actress took to social media after suggestions she looked anorexic in a recent photo.
Hyland underwent a kidney transplant in 2012 after battling kidney dysplasia her whole life.
"I'm not in control of what my body looks like," the actress said in a post on Twitter.
"I strive to be as healthy as possible, as everyone should."
Kidney dysplasia is a condition which can eventually cause the organ to malfunction.
Hyland made the comments after some fans suggested she looked anorexic in a recent Instagram post.
"No, that's not Photoshop, those are my legs, those are my arms," she said. "I write this because I've been accused of promoting anorexia, in, ironically enough, an anti-bullying post. And I want young girls to know that's not my intention."
Hyland has previously said: "I was born with so many health issues that doctors told my mother I would never have a normal life."
It's unclear what other health problems she has - but her father donated one of his kidneys for her transplant in 2012.
"This year has brought a lot of changes, and with that, physical changes," Hyland said. "I've been told that I can't work out. Which, for me is very upsetting."
"Being strong has gotten me where I am, both mentally and physically. I am not a fan of 'being skinny' which many of you have told me I'm too much of."
Speaking about her recent health problems, the actress said: "I've basically been on bed rest for the last few months, I've lost a lot of muscle mass.
She concluded: "I've been down before and I'll probably be down again in my lifetime but I'm steadfast and solid and will conquer my obstacles."
"I'm a 26-year-old woman who goes through more than you could ever imagine on a daily basis."

Mr Clooney's visit to Scotland in November made headlines in over 40 countries around the world.
It will be DiCaprio's first visit to Scotland.
Clooney's visit was arranged by entrepreneur Tom Hunter and Josh Littlejohn, the co-founder of Social Bite, a venture that helps the homeless community by allowing customers to pay for food and drink for the vulnerable.
It is now believed DiCaprio will visit Mr Littlejohn's Edinburgh sandwich shop before attending the not-for-profit Scottish Business Awards in the EICC later this year.
He may also deliver the keynote address at the Scottish Business Awards.

Summarize the content provided below. | The Old Bailey heard Michael Mason, 70, died after he was hit by Gail Purcell's Nissan on Regent Street in February 2014.
Ms Purcell, a 59-year-old hairdresser from St Albans, Herts, denies causing death by careless driving.
The case has been brought by the Cyclists' Defence Fund.
The court heard Mr Mason was cycling north towards the BBC's Broadcasting House headquarters at 18.23 GMT on 25 February when he was hit by Ms Purcell's Nissan.
The teacher landed on the road and suffered a "very severe injury to the brain" before dying in hospital days later.
Simon Spence QC, prosecuting, said: "For whatever reason, the defendant simply did not see a cyclist ahead of her... in circumstances she should have done and drove into the back of him."
He said evidence would show Mr Mason's bike was illuminated at the front and back and the road was well lit and not overly busy.
The court was told Ms Purcell had informed police she hadn't seen "anybody from my left", adding: "It's like they came from the sky."
Jurors were also told a witness, Sophia Tran-Thomson, had allegedly heard Ms Purcell say: "I'm the driver. It was me... I just didn't see him."

Please provide a summary for the content below. | The cup, thought to have been made for an emperor in 1425, was among a collection of antiques discovered by chance at Staffordshire University.
The collection of more than 270 pieces was donated to the university during World War Two and then forgotten.
The cup will be auctioned in Hong Kong on Tuesday.
Little is known about the collector of the rare Chinese artefacts other than his name was Ernest Thornhill and he was a chemist in London.
He donated his collection to protect it from being bombed during the war.
Prof Flavia Swann said the antiques were rediscovered last year after a chance conversation with the head of the Ceramic Technology Department.
It was after they said: "I've got some dusty old pots cluttering up my corridor, would you like to have a look?"
She said: "They were just in unlocked cabinets - sliding doors that when you slide them back they literally fell out to the floor.
"Nothing broke fortunately," she added.
The cup is being auctioned in Hong Kong and is billed to fetch at least £2m. The proceeds will be used to fund a new national ceramics centre based in Staffordshire.

Can you provide an overview of this section? | Instead, amid winds that got stronger as the day got longer, it became a hard grind for the best of them in the opening round of the Scottish Open.
Russell Knox was a mixture of contentment and weariness after his level-par 72 in the opening round of the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart.
"It felt like we were out there for about 10 hours," Knox said.
Trooping in after five and a hours spent fighting 25-30mph winds, Knox was three behind the pace, but it could have been a whole lot more had he not kept himself together at the tail end of the draw and in the most difficult conditions of the day.
"It was about as windy as you can play golf in. It was a long ,long day. Tricky conditions. I'm going to sleep good tonight."
Knox was happy, but also frustrated. He levelled criticism at the way par-5 18th hole was set-up, a brute that played directly into the wind.
"It was a terrible set-up on that hole in my opinion. It was 600 yards (actually it was 607 yards) into a 30mph wind. They could have moved the tee up. I disagree with that hole. I hit three good shots and then three bad putts (for a bogey six).
"All day you had to put so much thought into every shot. You know, 140 yards into a 25mph wind plays 180 yards. We were constantly thinking and that makes it hard.
"It was very close to being unplayable. On a couple of the exposed holes the ball was moving a little bit. They could quite easily have stopped it.
"Our group backed off putts about ten times. It took five and a half hours but I don't think we could have played much faster."
An illustration of the havoc the wind was causing came again on the 16th and 17th holes, the former a 337-yard par 4 and the latter a 226-yard par 3.
"I needed to hit more club on the par 3 than I did on the par 4. That shows you. It was goofy golf, but I hung in there. I'm happy but I've got to go out and do it again." | This was the day that Castle Stuart took vengeance on those who saw it as something of a soft touch. |

Victory in Texas was Spieth's first since his final day collapse at the Masters in Augusta last month.
"That is a tough hump to get over," said Spieth, 22. "To win in front of my home fans, what a great week."
"I was never going to come out and say it until I was able to get over it - but that was a really tough hurdle for me to get over.
"I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I went through on that back nine at the Masters, so to win on the third tournament back [was great]".
Leading by one shot overnight, Spieth levelled through the first nine, before making six birdies on the back nine to claim his eighth PGA Tour triumph and the first in his home state of Texas.
Spieth, who is from Dallas just 33 miles away from the course, is the youngest eight-time winner in 86 years since Horton Smith.
He is also the second youngest eight-time winner in PGA history.
"Victory means a lot and the crowds were fantastic. It was a really cool atmosphere to play for. I stayed patient and the birdies came in streaks."

Subscriber numbers rose by 106,000 over the period but that was lower than last year's rise of 134,000.
Advertising revenue in the UK and Ireland fell 3%, although Sky said that was better than the overall market.
Sky, which generates about a third of its business in Italy, Germany and Austria, said its group revenues had benefitted from the rise in the euro against the pound, as European sales in euros are counted back into sterling. As a result, group revenues rose 13% to £3.1bn.
Football as ever proved an important earner for the company, which said it had its most watched sports event ever on Sky Sports Italy, which was Italy v Germany's UEFA Euro 2016 match.

The League One club's game against Doncaster on Sunday has been postponed by the Rugby Football League.
A joint statement from the RFL, York Council and York City FC said they "firmly believe there is a future for professional rugby league in York".
Knights head coach James Ford has also revealed that there are people considering a takeover of the club.
"I'm probably a little bit out of my remit, but I know there are potentially one or two people interested," he told BBC Radio York.
"I think primarily we need to stabilise this year, get through our fixtures and make a real crack at these Super 8s."
Meanwhile, York Council has said plans for a new community stadium will not change despite the Knights' uncertain future.
Knights were set to share the stadium with York City, whose Bootham Crescent ground is currently used by both teams, when it opens in the spring of 2018.
The joint statement said: "We continue to work to resolve this situation and are hopeful that ways can be found for James Ford and his players to be able to fulfil the remainder of their fixtures.

Holyhead Coastguard received a 999 call on Sunday reporting the pair, believed to be from Birmingham, had got into difficulty off Barmouth beach.
The RNLI said the sea search was suspended at 18:30 BST, though a search of the shoreline is continuing.
A Coastguard spokeswoman said there had been an "intensive search" for the boys, reportedly aged 14 and 15, but "sadly they have not been found".
"It looks like there were two people in difficulty and another person in their same group went in to help," she said.
"That person managed to get out of the water - both the other two were still in difficulty."
She said the Coastguard had been told one person had been seen to "disappear under the water".
Rescue teams from Barmouth, Aberdovey and Fairbourne and a helicopter from Caernarfon joined the search.
The RNLI said: "Barmouth RNLI's inshore lifeboat was requested to launch by HM Coastguard at 13:40 and the station's all-weather lifeboat was launched 10 minutes later."

Summarize the information in the following document. | Two-month-old Daisy Mae Burrill died three days after 31-year-old John Burrill fractured her skull in Fleetwood, Lancashire, on 11 March.
Her injuries were consistent with being gripped by the legs and swung against a hard surface, his trial heard.
Mr Justice James Goss ordered Burrill to serve a minimum of 18 years in jail.
Sentencing, the judge at Preston Crown Court described Daisy Mae's murder as the "grossest breach of trust".
Burrill had "carried out a vicious assault upon a defenceless baby" after smoking cannabis throughout the early hours of the morning while tending to his daughter who would not settle, the Crown Prosecution Service said.
Burrill was found guilty by jury on Tuesday.
He had initially told medical staff and police the infant became limp but he could not explain why.
The court heard the child's mother, Ashlee Cox, described her then-partner as "moody" when he got up to feed the baby at their home in Gordon Road on the morning of 11 March.
Burrill, who admitted manslaughter but denied murder, told the court the baby had initially gone back to sleep but began to cry again.
He told jurors during his trial: "I think the tiredness just took over and I really lost my rag and I threw her down on to the couch."
The baby was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital and later transferred to Manchester Children's Hospital, where her life support was switched off on 14 March.
Following sentencing, Ms Cox said: "She was a beautiful baby girl and much loved new addition to the family... who will be forever in their hearts."
She said her family's suffering had been made worse by Burrill's refusal to admit that he alone was responsible for her death.

Summarize the following excerpt. | Sixteen people are confirmed dead after the magnitude 6.0 quake, which hit the mountain in Sabah on Friday.
Among the dead were six Singaporean children on a school trip, along with their teacher and guide.
In Singapore, flags are at half-mast and a minute's silence was observed at venues for the Southeast Asian Games, which the city-state is hosting.
At the weekend, Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Pairin Kitingan linked the earthquake to a group of 10 foreigners who had earlier stripped naked on Mt Kinabalu.
He said the tragedy was a "confirmation" that they had showed "disrespect" to the mountain. "It is a sacred mountain and you cannot take it lightly," he told reporters.
Authorities have identified some of the tourists and ordered border officials to be on high alert if they tried to leave Sabah.
Mount Kinabalu is one of South East Asia's highest peaks and a popular trekking destination.
Nationals on the mountain at the time the quake struck early on Friday were from China, the United States, the Philippines, the UK, Thailand, Turkey and Japan.
One Japanese and one Chinese tourist were reported killed.
The Singaporean dead have been named as six students and their teacher from the Tanjong Katong Primary School (TKPS) and a Singaporean adventure guide.
They were among 30 pupils and staff climbing the mountain in the state of Sabah on Borneo island as part of an educational trip. A teacher and a student are still missing.
"Our hearts go out to their families, and to the TKPS community," Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in a statement, praising the children for "striving to stretch their limits and take on new challenges".
More than 130 people were rescued or escaped. Many had to make their own way down with the help of tour guides and park rangers.
The US Geological Survey said the quake happened at around 07:15 local time (23:15 GMT) on Friday, at a depth of 10km (32,800ft). The epicentre was 54km (33 miles) from Mount Kinabalu, which stands at 4,095m (13,435ft).
The tremor was so powerful it also snapped off one of Mount Kinabalu's "Donkey's Ear" rock formations.
It also damaged roads and buildings, including schools and a hospital on Sabah's west coast, but there were no reports of casualties.

Please summarize the given passage. | Activist Abdelsalam al-Mismari was killed as he left a mosque after Friday prayers, officials said.
A retired air force colonel and a senior police officer were also killed in separate attacks.
Libya's government is struggling to control armed groups nearly two years after Muammar Gaddafi was toppled.
The BBC's Rana Jawad in the capital Tripoli says that although Benghazi has witnessed many targeted killings, Friday saw the first assassination of an activist.
Mr Mismari, a lawyer, was one of the earliest organisers of protests that eventually led to the overthrow of dictator Col Muammar Gaddafi.
He later became a critic of the armed groups that helped to topple Gaddafi but which have since refused to lay down their weapons.
He has also opposed the presence of the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya.
"He was coming out of Friday prayers when he was shot," said Benghazi security spokesman Mohammed al-Hijazy.
"It seems it may have been the work of a sniper because he was shot in the heart."
His colleague and friend Hannah Ghallal told the BBC Mr Mismari was "a hero and a man of principle who did what he preached". Fighting back tears, she added that his death was a loss for Libya.
A large crowd later gathered in central Benghazi to protest against the killing.
Our correspondent says Mr Mismari's death marks a potentially dangerous turning point. Some feel it is an attempt to silence civic groups, she adds.
In separate attacks on Friday, retired air force Colonel Salem al-Sarah was killed as he emerged from a mosque and police Colonel Khatab Abdelrahim al-Zwei was shot dead at the wheel of his car, officials said.
Benghazi has seen a number of violent incidents since the fall of Gaddafi, including an attack on the US consulate last September in which the US ambassador and three other US citizens were killed.
Playcraft Live will be performed at the city's Playhouse Theatre on 14 October.
It will simultaneously be streamed to the world online via the theatre's website, Minecraft and Youtube.
Slipping between both stage and game world, the story will unfold across different locations and times.
Minecraft is the second-best-selling videogame of all time.
It allows players to build things using cubic blocks and take part in exploration, engineering, crafting and combat.
The game is hugely popular with children and young teenagers.
The production will see the dramatisation of a script, written specifically for Playcraft by Alex Scarrow, author of the teen science fiction series of novels, Time Riders.
The story is based between books one and two of his Time Riders series.
Online audiences will experience the production as a live-stream simulcast.
For those lucky enough to be part of the Playhouse audience, they will be able to see the physical actor on stage communicating the play to them.
They will also see a stream of the digital version of that actor, within the Minecraft world, projected onto a screen.
These avatars will be developed and built by Minecraft experts operating from an adjacent room.
Kieran Griffiths, creative director at the Playhouse Theatre, said he was excited to be introducing something "completely new to the world of theatre".
"The production is hugely ambitious and a definite step into the unknown, but a tremendous opportunity to allow two artistic worlds to come together and learn from each other," Mr Griffiths said.
The project will also involve renowned creative producer Adam Clarke and digital educators MakeMatic.
It has been commissioned by The Space, which is funded by the BBC and Arts Council England.
"I suppose the thorny rose in between is the technology," Mr Griffiths said.
"Over the coming months we have to remove the thorns and make sure that rose is passed gracefully.
"At the end of it, we hope to produce an educational asset whereby we will see online amateur societies creating their own world within Minecraft."
Throughout the summer, Minecraft fans will be invited to join in on the production, find out more about the play and contribute to the process along the way. | A prominent Libyan political activist and two senior security officials have been shot dead in the restive eastern city of Benghazi.

Summarize the content provided below. | Friends of the Earth Cymru had wanted a judge to examine how ministers reached their decision on the £1bn project.
The group, which is worried nature reserves will be damaged, said it was "disappointed" and would continue making the case against the road.
The Welsh government has insisted the decision had been "carefully considered".
Three firms have already been awarded the contract to start work on the project around Newport.
Friends of the Earth had raised three grounds for concern:
Sitting in the High Court, Mr Justice Hickinbottom rejected the review.
Gareth Clubb, director of Friends of the Earth Cymru, said: "Naturally we're disappointed by the conclusions of this judicial review. But the case against the M4 gets stronger by the day.
"Just yesterday a report was published by the renowned Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research that said 'it is difficult to envisage how the M4 relief road can be justified."
A Welsh government spokeswoman said: "We welcome the judge's ruling. We believe this is the best solution to transport issues around Newport and that it is vitally important to the economic prosperity of Wales."
Analysis by BBC Wales environment correspondent Iolo ap Dafydd
This is a significant decision which now may well lead to the new relief road being built. The fact that the Welsh government on Wednesday announced three contracts for preliminary works underlines the confidence of ministers and civil servants.
Friends of the Earth Cymru argued that conservation sites would be damaged and reasonable alternatives hadn't been fully explored by the Welsh government.
But the judge said their case had "fallen very far short" and it was up to the government to decide on the merits of where to build the road, or if it would sacrifice part of the Gwent Levels.
Environment groups question building a new stretch of the M4, with a projected increase of traffic and greenhouse gas emissions.
They argue this is at odds with the Welsh government's repeated climate change commitment - which is to reduce emissions by 3% per year and 40% by 2020.
Ministers argue a new M4 will reduce congestion and emissions and make Wales "more resilient to the effects of climate change".

President: Edgar Lungu
Edgar Lungu became the sixth president of Zambia in January 2015 after winning a narrow election victory to replace former leader Michael Sata, who died in office.
He gained a new term in August 2016.
A former justice and defence minister from the ruling Patriotic Front, Mr Lungu's toughest challenge has been to turn around a slowing economy hit by a slump in copper prices, the country's biggest export.
A trained lawyer, he has worked in both the state and private sectors.
Although state-run radio and TV continue to dominate Zambia's media sector and have the widest reach, they operate alongside several private television stations, some independent newspapers and a growing number of private radio stations.
In its 2015 Freedom of Press survey, US-based Freedom House rated Zambia as "Not Free", reporting an increase in violations, including "editorial pressure, harassment, and intimidation of journalists and outlets" in the run-up to elections at the end of 2014.
Some key dates in Zambia's history:
1889 - Britain establishes control over Northern Rhodesia.
1960 - Independence struggle: Kenneth Kaunda launches United National Independence Party (UNIP).
1964 - Independence: Northern Rhodesia renamed Zambia, President Kaunda rules for next 27 years.
1972 - One-party state: Kaunda's UNIP becomes the only legal party until 1991.
1991 - First multi-party elections in 23 years, Frederick Chiluba's Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) wins.
1997 - Attempted coup. Former President Kaunda is arrested but later walks free.
2001 - President Chiluba steps down over opposition to his bid to run for an unconstitutional third term.
2001-08 - Third President Levy Mwanawasa serves two terms, dies in office.
2011-14 - Fifth President Michael Sata, dies in office.
2015 - Sixth President Edgar Lungu elected. | Zambia, unlike most of its neighbours, has managed to avoid the war and upheaval that has marked much of Africa's post-colonial history, earning itself a reputation for political stability. |
Summarize the following piece. | The US Federal Communications Commission says 34 million Americans - 23.4 million of whom are in rural areas - lack a broadband net connection.
Microsoft pledged to "eliminate" the problem in five years' time, using spectrum freed up by the move to digital TV.
Experts said the plan could be costly and may cause interference.
White space technology refers to the unused broadcasting frequencies in the wireless spectrum.
TV networks leave gaps between channels, and the spectrum - which is similar to that used for 4G - can be used to deliver broadband access.
Microsoft said it would have 12 projects up and running in 12 states in the next year.
It plans to invest in partnerships with telecoms companies via its Microsoft Rural Airband Initiative, with the aim of bringing broadband connectivity to two million people by 2022.
"Our goal is not to enter the telecommunications business ourselves or even to profit directly from these projects," writes Microsoft chief legal officer Brad Smith in a blog post.
"We will invest in the upfront capital projects needed to expand broadband coverage, seek a revenue share from operators to recoup our investment, and then use these revenue proceeds to invest in additional projects to expand coverage further."
He said that "real progress to close the rural broadband gap has plateaued in recent years".
"As a country, we should not settle for an outcome that leaves behind more than 23 million of our rural neighbours.
"To the contrary, we can and should bring the benefits of broadband coverage to every corner of the nation."
Unused airwaves in the UHF television bands offered "powerful bandwidth", said Mr Smith.
"It would enable wireless signals to travel over hills and through buildings and trees," he said.
Boston Consulting Group, who worked with Microsoft on the proposal, estimated that TV white space could provide broadband for 80% of rural America currently lacking broadband.
In the UK, BT has used TV white space to provide broadband on the Scottish island of Bute and ran another small trial in Sutton, Surrey.
The technology has also been used at London Zoo, to broadcast footage of meerkats, and is being deployed on the Isle of Arran.
Some radio groups have complained that use of the technology could pose a threat to the use of radio microphones and other wireless equipment to cover events, make films and at conferences.
Fernando Elizalde, a principal analyst at research company Gartner, said the plan was "ambitious" but "a little more sensible than Facebook's laser-powered drones or Google's balloons".
"White space technology is there, but it is quite expensive and could cause interference," he said, adding that it would also require time for the FCC to assign channels for broadband.
Currently, the modem needed in homes to support the technology can cost up to $1,000 (£778), although Microsoft has said it hopes to bring costs down to $200 within the year. | Microsoft has laid out an ambitious plan to improve broadband services in rural America, using TV white space. |

Summarize the content provided below. | The journalist, who has presented Channel 4 News since 1989, gave the MacTaggart Lecture at the annual Edinburgh TV festival.
He said Facebook's inaction was a "threat to democracy".
Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg says the company is "experimenting" with ways to support the news industry.
In a 50-minute speech, Mr Snow said Facebook had helped Channel 4 News find a wider audience for its reports, but left publishers at the mercy of the social network.
"Facebook's principles are seldom explained in detail and can change overnight at Mr Zuckerberg's whim," said Mr Snow.
He also criticised the company's reputation for allowing false stories to spread unchallenged.
"Facebook enabled the story, 'Pope endorses Trump for President'," he said.
"That engaged more than a million people during the US elections. That same algorithm that prioritised many amazing reports of ours, also prioritised fakery on a massive scale.
"Facebook has a moral duty to prioritise veracity over virality. It is fundamental to our democracy."
Mr Snow also said Facebook had paid news publishers a "nominal rate" for their stories, which was not enough to support truthful, investigative journalism.
"Facebook feasts on our products and pays all but nothing for them. This cannot last," he told the audience.
Channel 4 has posted a transcript of the full lecture.
On Wednesday evening, Mr Zuckerberg said Facebook was exploring new ways to support journalists.
In a post on his Facebook profile, he said: "As more people get more of their news from places like Facebook, we have a responsibility to create an informed community and help build common understanding."
He said the social network was testing a way to make it easier for people to subscribe to publishers they liked, and Facebook would not take a cut of the subscription money.
He also described changes to help people check the authenticity of articles.
"Eventually, our goal is to put a publisher's logo next to every news article on Facebook so everyone can understand more about what they're reading," he wrote.
"Giving people a voice is not enough without having organisations dedicated to uncovering new information and analysing it. We're going to keep experimenting with different ways to support the news industry and make sure reporters and publishers everywhere can keep doing their important work."
The post was not a direct response to Mr Snow's speech.
"I'm a fan of Facebook," Mr Snow said in his lecture.
"It's great, it's terrific - but I'm not a fan of playing fast and loose with the products that we in this room generate at great expense.
"It cannot be beyond the bounds of human understanding to come up with a way of ensuring that these mega-entities have to pay to play." | Facebook should do more to tackle the spread of "cancerous" fake news, and help fund original journalism, newsreader Jon Snow has said. |
Can you summarize this passage? | Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky said action would be taken after the checks while an MP described the film as "shameless propaganda of sin".
The live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast features Disney's first ever gay character and love scene.
A Russian law prohibits the spreading of "gay propaganda" among minors.
The 2013 legislation, which has angered human rights activists and the international gay community, describes homosexuality as "non-traditional sexual relations".
Homosexuality was decriminalised in Russia in 1993 and the country officially removed it from a list of psychiatric disorders in 1999.
However, homophobic attacks have been documented in recent years.
Director Bill Condon has spoken of an "exclusively gay moment" in Beauty and the Beast.
It involves LeFou, who is a sidekick of the film's main antagonist Gaston.
LeFou, played by US actor Josh Gad, tries to come to terms with feelings for Gaston that swing between lust and admiration, as a side-plot to the main story.
The movie is due to be released in Russia on 16 March.
But Vitaly Milonov, an MP of the governing United Russia party, urged the culture minister to hold a screening of the film before it was released to see if it complied with the law and to "take measures to totally ban" it if he found "elements of propaganda of homosexuality".
His colleague Alexander Sholokhov said that if the scenes violated the law, the film should be banned from cinemas.
"As soon as we get a copy of the film with relevant paperwork for distribution, we will consider it according to the law," Mr Medinsky said.
Meanwhile, Russian actor Pavel Derevyanko told state-run TV Russia 24, "I will not take my kid to this movie."
When the first Beauty and the Beast trailer was released last year it had almost 130m views in 24 hours.
Emma Watson plays Belle, the young girl who falls in love with a monstrous beast with a dark secret.
Her suitors - the Beast and Gaston - are played by Brit stars Dan Stevens and Luke Evans.
The cast includes Ewan McGregor, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Kevin Kline and Stanley Tucci.
In another groundbreaking moment, the film is to feature the first interracial kiss in a Disney live-action film.
The animated version of Beauty and the Beast came out in 1991.
Hospital statistics revealed there were 632 new cases between September 2014 and March 2015, a report from the West Midlands Police and Crime Panel said.
Between January and November last year 118 cases were referred to the West Midlands force.
A new task force to tackle mutilation was being launched, the panel said.
Further work could be carried out to consider "how to achieve best outcomes in tackling FGM", it said.
The panel said there was "inconsistency across the region" and "different areas and organisations are at different places to deal with this form of child abuse".
Muslim Women's Network UK said flashbacks at least twice a week were common in the women it had been talking to, the report stated.
A regional task force would ensure "better co-ordination of agencies" to eradicate the practice, which has been illegal in Britain for 30 years, the panel said.
The report said: "We call upon all relevant authorities, including those involved in law enforcement, the justice system and public health, to do everything in their power to protect young girls from this life-endangering, health-threatening crime."
There had been no reports to West Midlands Police of mutilation in the area but there had been some intelligence to suggest girls "are brought to Birmingham to be cut", the panel said. | Russian officials are coming under pressure to check if Disney's new film Beauty and the Beast breaches the country's law against "gay propaganda".

Write a summary for this information. | Needing 180 to avoid an innings defeat after following on the previous evening, Somerset quickly lost night-watchman Tim Groenewald.
Tom Abell then gave a return catch to Simon Kerrigan to leave the hosts 61-2.
But Trescothick made 129 in an unbroken stand of 168 with skipper Chris Rogers (75 no) before declaring on 229-2.
The two veteran left-handers have a combined age of 78, but they also have a colossal 133 centuries and over 48,000 first class runs between them.
And they defied everything Lancashire - including 15 overs from England paceman Jimmy Anderson - could throw at them.
Twice in one Anderson over early in the afternoon session, Trescothick enjoyed good fortune when, with no second slip, he edged boundaries between first and third slip.
But, in the end, Lancashire, one of only two teams to win a game in Division One of the County Championship this season, took 11 points from the draw, to climb within three points of leaders Warwickshire.
Somerset, who have drawn all three of their Championship matches, took nine points, while the only winner was the typically flat, dry Taunton track, which did offer turn on the final day, but never gave much assistance to the seamers.
Somerset director of cricket Matthew Maynard:
"We saw some real old-fashioned attritional county cricket, with two very experienced batsman battling against a turning ball.
"Marcus and Chris played so well, but we mustn't forget James Hildreth's century in the first innings. He batted superbly.
"It wasn't an ideal pitch and we hope there will be more pace in the next one we prepare here, but it did make for some fascinating cricket.
"Again we have shown character as a team to pick up our third draw against a very good Lancashire side. Now we have to try and get ahead in a game so we can exert pressure."
Lancashire head coach Ashley Giles told BBC Radio Manchester:
"If we continue to play the way we have in the opening two matches we'll be all right. I have to be happy with the way we have performed.
"We knew First Division cricket would be tough and that has certainly been the case for all four days here.
"The surfaces of the wickets at Taunton don't tend to break up. When we arrived I was expecting us to field first, but it was a used pitch.
"We thought it might spin as the game progressed and there was some turn, but it was always going to be difficult to bowl Somerset out twice." | Marcus Trescothick made his 60th first class century - his second in a week - to steer Somerset to a draw against Lancashire in the County Championship. |

In the past decade, the number of seals born on the beach has risen from about six to about 600 this season, which Mr Anstell described as "a bit of a phenomenon".
"Visitor numbers is a real issue for local people," he said.
"On peak days such as Boxing Day and New Year's Day, people descended on Horsey in their hundreds, if not thousands. It is chaotic for parking in a place not designed for this many visitors."
He said he was unsure why thousands of seals chose to come ashore at Horsey, but added: "They would want a solid and stable beach on which to give birth and Horsey is good for that.
"It's got a wide expanse of sand and dunes, which give them some protection from the weather and very high tides."
Mr Anstell said the seal pups would be suckled for about three weeks, during which time they would put on about 2kg (4.5lb) a day.
"The mother then leaves them alone on the beach for another three weeks. That's when they're at their most susceptible.
"If they wander into another seal's territory, they will be attacked."

The blasts targeted a dozen sites, including the Bombay Stock Exchange, the offices of national carrier Air India and a luxury hotel.
Indian media reports say Dossa was admitted to the jail hospital ward after he complained of severe chest pain early on Wednesday.

"He's probably saved me £1.5m I would imagine. I can't see myself buying anyone better than that," said Warnock.
Copenhagen-born Zohore was signed by Kortrijk, a club also owned by Cardiff owner Vincent Tan, a year ago from Danish outfit OB Odense and was immediately loaned to the Bluebirds for the second half of the 2015-16 season.

Summarize the content given in the passage. | Rapid response teams are now sent by insurance companies to major incidents, following criticism of their reaction to the UK's 2007 deluge.
Householders hit by Storm Desmond and its aftermath have been told to stay safe, but to act to reduce risks of further damage or loss.
This includes locking up unattended homes and keeping evidence of damage.
Thousands of homes were evacuated or left without power in Cumbria after Storm Desmond hit northern England and Scotland.
And some people and their homes and businesses are threatened by repeat flooding.
Mark Shepherd, of the Association of British Insurers (ABI), said insurers would be staffed over the Christmas holidays to deal with fresh claims.
"Everyone hopes the flood waters stay away over the Christmas break, particularly for residents of Cumbria who have already seen their properties inundated more than once in the past few weeks.
"People affected by flooding will be able to pick up the phone to their insurer on Christmas Day to get help, and work will start straight away on assessing damage and making emergency payments where needed.
"Sadly there was also flooding over the Christmas and New Year period in the winter of 2013 and we saw then that many loss adjusters were on the ground the same day to help people affected," he added.
Advice from the British Insurance Brokers' Association to those affected includes:
Meanwhile, many business insurance policies cover damage to premises and stock, but loss of trading owing to interruption is usually only covered if firms have paid an extra premium as an add-on to their policy.
At present, the recent flooding is not the worst to have hit the UK, with about 6,570 homes and businesses having been flooded so far.
The frustration and upset for many of those affected is that they have been hit before.
For example, Cumbria was hit by devastating floods in 2005 and 2009.
Some 25,000 flood and storm claims were made to insurers following the 2009 floods, with £174m paid out.
All these incidents were still far smaller than the 2007 floods across swathes of the UK, which led to claims of £3.2bn.
There is provision in place for compensation to be paid to those who suffer lengthy power cuts as a result of storm damage.
The amount of time that power is off and the severity of the storm are key to compensation levels.
They are currently being assessed.
A guide has been published for those wanting to obtain flood insurance who live in areas at high risk of flooding.
Many of these householders are concerned about high premiums, high excess and a lack of access to insurance.
A new scheme, known as Flood Re, has been agreed between the government and insurance industry and is planned to start in April.
Under the scheme, residential homeowners in areas with the highest flood risks should be able to shop around for insurance, because the extra risk involved will be passed from the insurer to an industry body, called Flood Re, which is sponsored by the government.
Insurers will choose which properties are deemed suitable for the scheme.
Businesses, including landlords, are not covered by the programme.
Brendan McCafferty, chief executive of Flood Re, said he expected insurers to be more likely to use the system now, with the latest flooding impact coming so close to the launch date.
There is an issue for those whose insurance renewal is due before April.
Mr McCafferty said these householders might decide that cancelling an existing policy a few months into the year - which might also incur a charge - and shopping around for a new deal, would be a cheaper option once the system was operating. | Insurers say a "small army" of claims managers have been deployed to flood-hit areas, but they have urged affected residents to follow advice to protect any claims. |
Summarize the content given in the passage. | Preston, who had lost in their previous nine play-off campaigns, went ahead when Beckford struck from close range.
Paul Huntington scored with a cushioned volley from a Paul Gallagher cross and Beckford curled in from the edge of the area to make it 3-0 at the break.
Beckford's third came as he slotted in when one-on-one with Wes Foderingham.
Preston recovered from missing out on promotion on the final day of the campaign to return to the second tier after a four-year absence.
Beckford, who has been on loan at Preston but was released by parent club Bolton last week, won the free-kick that Gallagher subsequently sent into his path inside the six-yard box to give the Lilywhites the perfect start.
As well as conceding, Swindon lost captain Nathan Thompson with a leg injury as he tried - and failed - to challenge Beckford in the build-up to the goal.
Preston centre-back Huntington added a second when he arrived unmarked to tap home from Gallagher's inswinging delivery from the left - his ninth goal of the season.
Mark Cooper's Swindon side dominated possession for the majority of the game and striker Michael Smith should have got a goal back when he headed wide from Nathan Byrne's cross.
Moments later, Beckford, who scored three goals in the play-off semi-final, reached Joe Garner's flicked pass before beautifully curling a left-footed shot into the bottom corner.
He completed his hat-trick when strike partner Garner sent him clear of the defence and Beckford calmly sent the ball beyond Foderingham.
A long-range Jordan Turnbull effort and a Jonathan Obika header, which was tipped wide late on, were among the Robins' best chances to score.
Swindon boss Mark Cooper:
"We didn't deal with Joe Garner and Jermaine Beckford.
"If a ball comes in your box and you don't want to head it or compete then you're in trouble.
"You've got to give credit to Preston, they were excellent.

The 43-year-old chief prosecutor at Romania's Anti-Corruption Directorate, known locally as DNA, says she will not answer to them: "I will answer to the citizens."
The success of the DNA under her leadership has made Ms Kovesi a star. And she has vowed to continue with their job regardless of any lack of support.
But proposed changes to Romanian laws could cripple her work. Last week, the government withdrew a decree that would have softened anti-corruption laws, after they sparked huge street protests.
However, it is now is looking to parliament to enact similar measures.
The DNA was created in 2002 to tackle corruption, an issue that seemed endemic in Romania. In 2007, the EU put the country - and Bulgaria - under a mechanism to monitor judicial reform and the fight against corruption.
But it was only when Ms Kovesi was made its chief, in 2013, that the body gained public support, with its investigations of a prime minister, former government ministers, media moguls, judges and prosecutors.
"Romanians trust in DNA is quite remarkable," she told the BBC in an interview.
The agency was trusted by twice as many people as the government, opinion polls suggested, and its support seemed to be higher among younger people.
"More and more people came and submitted complaints, they were willing to give witness statements regarding corruption cases. And all that because Romanian citizens noticed that the law is equal for everybody. This is what we do," she added.
The former basketball player and daughter of a prosecutor has been described by media as "softly-spoken" and "quiet". Ten years ago, she became Romania's youngest prosecutor general and the first woman ever to hold the office.
The DNA has launched some 1,170 prosecutions in the last three years, in cases which cost the state more than €1bn (£860m).
Her work has been internationally recognised - last year, she was awarded France's Legion of Honour.
Corruption decree: Strategic retreat or surrender for government?
But she also has her critics, who say she has become too powerful. and that the anti-corruption fervour has become a witch-hunt.
They argue her agency has unfairly targeted certain people and parties, teaming up with secret services and working hand in hand with judges, allegations she dismisses. "All the parties have members who were investigated by DNA."
They also criticise the use of wiretaps, saying it amounts to techniques used during communist times - something that she also rejects.
"When we talk about pre-trial arrest warrant, about an interception [wire-tapping] warrant, all these things cannot be done by the prosecutor without a warrant, an authorisation issued by judges. We cannot do that all by ourselves."
She adds that cases are pursued by merit and weight of evidence.
Ms Kovesi strongly opposed the recent government decree, that would have decriminalised some corruption offences and seen dozens of officials freed.
She estimated that the changes would have had an impact on one in three cases brought forward by the DNA.
"Starting from now, it will be a huge risk for the judicial system, in each day," she says.
"Because in each day we can find out about another modification, we can find out about the changes of our jurisdiction or maybe our office can be dissolved or not exist anymore." | Laura Codruta Kovesi has caused divisions in Romania. |
Summarize the following piece. | They bought debts from the bank, and other Espirito Santo companies, and repackaged them as investments for branch customers.
Following complaints, BES was made to refund the customers, contributing to a record £2.8bn half-year loss.
BES was eventually split into a "good bank" and a "bad bank" on 3 August.
According to a Wall Street Journal report, Portuguese regulators are now interested in three Jersey companies, or "Special Purpose Vehicles", and one in the British Virgin Islands, which they say are connected to the Espirito Santo conglomerate.
The companies named are Top Renda, EuroAforro Investments and Poupanca Plus Investments.
Their alleged link to the Espirito Santos group is difficult to verify because Jersey companies can conceal their true beneficiaries by nominating local trust firms as shareholders.
The St Helier trust provider named in the companies' filings, Sanne Fiduciary Services, has not responded to requests for comment.
The filings of the three Jersey companies do show, however, that over the past ten years they bought hundreds of millions of euros worth of debt from Espirito Santo group companies.
To fund this, they sold many small batches of "preferred shares", which are a cross between shares and bonds. These are the products which had to be refunded.
Swiss bank Credit Suisse is named on the filings as the "arranger" of the deals.
Concerns over Banco Espirito Santo, and its exposure to other companies controlled by the reclusive Espirito Santo family, first arose in June.
Following the split, the "good bank" was part-nationalised, re-named Novo Banco, and bailed out with a £3.9bn loan from what remains of Portugal's financial crisis bailout fund.
The episode has affected banks in other countries and created uncertainty in Portugal's economy. | Three companies implicated in the downfall of the Portuguese bank, Banco Espirito Santo (BES), are registered in Jersey. |
Summarize the information given below. | Thursday's referendum saw Scotland, London and Northern Ireland vote in favour of Remain - while England and Wales backed Brexit.
Ms Sturgeon said it was "democratically unacceptable" that Scotland faced being taken out of the EU against its will.
And she said a second independence referendum was "highly likely".
Scotland voted in favour of the UK staying in the EU by 62% to 38%, but the UK as a whole voted to leave by a margin of 52% to 48%.
The result saw Prime Minister David Cameron announce he would stand down by October.
Hundreds of people protested against the EU result in Glasgow and Edinburgh on Friday evening.
Ms Sturgeon said there was now a "significant divergence" between Scotland and the rest of Britain which she "deeply regretted".
She said the meeting of the Scottish cabinet on Saturday morning would "discuss our next steps in more detail".
And she said the Scottish government was to begin preparing legislation to enable another independence vote.
Ms Sturgeon has said she has "clear common cause" with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who wants London to remain in the EU despite the Brexit vote.
But she has stressed that her priority was to "act at all times in the best interests of Scotland and in a way that unites, not divides us".
It looks "highly likely", says Nicola Sturgeon, that there will now be a second referendum upon Scottish independence.
Is she enthused by this prospect? Does she thrill at the notion? Is she buffing up her best lines from 2014? The answers to those questions would be no, no and, once again, no.
To be clear, for the avoidance of any doubt, Nicola Sturgeon remains rather keen on the concept of Scottish independence. Indeed, she yearns for it.
She knows that means another referendum at some point in the future. But not now. Not in these circumstances. Not in these troubled times.

Opposition leaders at Holyrood - who all backed Remain ahead of the referendum - shared Ms Sturgeon's disappointment at the result.
But both Ruth Davidson of the Conservatives and Scottish Labour's Kezia Dugdale said it did not justify holding another independence referendum.
Ms Davidson said an independence vote would not help the country achieve stability, and was not in the best interests of the people of Scotland.
She added: "The 1.6 million votes cast in this referendum in favour of remain do not wipe away the two million votes that we cast less than two years ago.
"And we do not address the challenges of leaving the European Union by leaving our own Union of nations, our biggest market and our closest friends.
"I believe in Scotland's place within the United Kingdom today as much as ever."
BBC Scotland took to the streets of towns and cities across the country to find out what people feel about the decision to leave the EU.
Ms Dugdale said she and Ms Sturgeon had "profound disagreements", about the constitutional future of Scotland, but said she stood ready to work with the first minister in the best interests of the people of Scotland.
She added: "Now is the time for calm heads. Labour's manifesto ruled out a second referendum in the lifetime of this parliament - we won't be changing our minds any time soon.
"On the question of independence, many of the fundamental questions that were unresolved and unanswered in 2014, remain so. Not least the question of currency. What we don't need today is more turmoil, more upheaval and more economic chaos."
The Scottish Greens, who support independence, have launched an online petition calling on Holyrood to "examine and exhaust every option for continuing Scotland's close ties with Europe". | Nicola Sturgeon is holding a cabinet meeting to discuss the Scottish government's response to the UK voting to leave the EU. |
Provide a concise overview of the following information. | Brian Stack, who was Chief Prison Officer at Portlaoise Prison in the Irish Republic, was shot in Dublin in 1983. He died 18 months later.
The IRA never claimed responsibility for the murder, but his family believe he was targeted because of his job.
His son, Austin Stack, described the meeting as very productive and genuine.
Two of the murdered officer's sons met Mr Adams at the Irish houses of parliament in Dublin on Thursday evening.
Speaking after the meeting, Austin Stack told the Irish state broadcaster RTE that no promises has been made, but that the Sinn Fein president had agreed to help them as best he could.
Mr Stack added that his family felt the offer was genuine and said they are due to meet Mr Adams again in about four weeks.
His father was shot in the back of the neck as he walked along Dublin's South Circular Road shortly after leaving a boxing tournament.
He was the only prison officer to be assassinated in the Republic of Ireland during the Troubles.
The man who carried out the shooting escaped on a motorbike, driven by an accomplice.
The prison officer was left brain damaged and paralysed from the neck down by the shooting and died from his injuries.
Austin Stack, the eldest of his three children, was 14 at the time of the shooting and is now the assistant governor of Wheatfield Prison in west Dublin.
He said he believes the IRA carried out the attack because his father thwarted a number attempts by members of the paramilitary group to escape from Portlaoise Prison and to smuggle weapons into the high security jail.
Mr Stack has said he wants the IRA to admit responsibility for his father's murder and his family want answers and closure from their discussions with the Sinn Fein president.
They have asked Mr Adams to speak to his contacts about the killing in the hope they can find out who carried it out and why.
"We're not looking for any form of revenge. We would like to sit down with those people, talk to them and get some form of responsibility."
Mr Adams, who stepped down as MP for West Belfast to become a member of the Irish parliament two years ago, has consistently denied that he was ever a member of the IRA.
Speaking after the meeting, the Sinn Fein president told RTE it had been a "good" and "comprehensive discussion".
"There are many families who are looking for closure. It may be that I won't be able to help but I certainly have the desire to be of assistance," Mr Adams said.
He added: "We have each agreed to go off and reflect on what was said. And we have agreed to meet again."
Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Enda Kenny told a gathering in Philadelphia on Sunday that the decision had been taken at a cabinet meeting last week.
He said it was a "clear recognition of the importance that Ireland attached to her citizens wherever they were".
The move was recommended by a Constitutional Convention in 2013.
Last July, the Diaspora Minister Joe McHugh said there was a commitment to hold a referendum.
An options paper will be published later this month outlining arrangements on how to register citizens abroad, and how to facilitate voting outside of the Republic of Ireland.
This will then be discussed during the Global Irish Civic Forum in Dublin in May.
The referendum is unlikely to be held this year, and if it passes, would come into effect for the presidential election after the one set for 2018.
During his visit to Philadelphia, at the beginning of the taoiseach's annual St Patrick's Day trip, Mr Kenny told a separate gathering that the "plight" of thousands of illegal Irish immigrants living in the United States would be an "absolute priority" during his visit.
He has vowed to raise the issue with President Donald Trump and said that undocumented Irish immigrants wanted to remain and contribute in the US. | The family of a murdered prison officer who was widely believed to have been killed by the IRA has held a meeting with Sinn Fein President, Gerry Adams.

A spokesman said: "This poor kitten must have been through a terrifying ordeal."
The centre hopes to re-home the kitten once she is old enough.
The force has bought Alverton Court, which used to house the Rural Payments Agency, to replace its current home at Newby Wiske Hall.
The new building cost £4.5m and fitting it out is expected to be an additional £2.5m.
Police and Crime Commissioner Julia Mulligan claimed the new HQ would save the force £4m over the next 30 years.
"Moving from a Grade II listed stately home, costing over £1m a year to run, into this much more practical and modern building is very welcome indeed," she said.
"Reducing the cost of North Yorkshire Police's estate is an important part of meeting our savings targets, and frees resources which we can focus on front-line policing; resources which will become increasingly scarce over the next few years."
The new headquarters building is located six miles away from Newby Wiske Hall, which will be sold.

Podmore is the third Middlesex bowler to spend time at Glamorgan in three seasons after Welsh product James Harris and Tom Helm appeared for the county in 2014.
Glamorgan are expected to add another seam bowler to their squad before the start of the season.
The county recently re-signed all-rounder Craig Meschede on a three-year contract after a successful 2015 spell on loan from Somerset.
Glamorgan chief Hugh Morris told the club's website: "He (Podmore) is a bright, young fast bowling talent who will add depth to our seam bowling department, which is an area we identified as needing strengthening."
Podmore said: "With limited opportunities available to play red ball cricket here (at Middlesex), this is an ideal way for me to not only gain invaluable experience in this format of the game, but also to hopefully help Glamorgan get off to a good start in their own Championship campaign."

Please summarize the given passage. | The four-inch piece of hair was bought by UK collector Paul Fraser at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas.
A German hairdresser kept a piece of Lennon's hair after giving him a trim before the star began filming the 1967 dark comedy, How I Won the War.
Richard Lester's film follows the World War Two misadventures of British troops led by an incompetent commander.
Lennon played Private Gripweed in the film, donning his now signature style round glasses.
"This is the largest lock of John Lennon's hair ever offered at auction and this world record price is a lasting testament to the world's more than 50-year love affair and fascination with Lennon and the Beatles," said Garry Shrum, director of music memorabilia at Heritage.
Also auctioned was a signed glossy head-and-shoulders "before shot" portrait of Lennon, taken shortly before the haircut, which sold for $2,125 (£1,475).
Several other Beatles items were also up for sale at the auction, including a photograph of the band signed by all four members which went for $42,500 (£29,500), and an unused ticket for the Beatles' first US concert in Washington D in 1964, which fetched $30,000 (£20,827).
The large gloss black-and-white photograph by Dezo Hoffmann featured the Beatles performing at the Empire Theatre, Liverpool on 7 December 1963.
The biggest seller was a rare sealed copy of the band's US LP Yesterday and Today, which went for $125,000 (£86,778).
Other sales at the entertainment and music memorabilia auction included a 1980s wristwatch that belonged to Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, which went for $42,500 (£29,500).
José Gregorio Pernalete went to the Supreme Court to hand in a request for it to open a case.
Juan Pablo Pernalete was killed on 26 April by a tear gas canister fired by the National Guard, Venezuela's chief prosecutor said in May.
No arrests have been made so far.
Shortly after the student's death, government officials including Information Minister Ernesto Villegas, then-Foreign Minister Delcy Rodriguez and deputy leader of the governing socialist PSUV party Diosdado Cabello denied the National Guard was responsible.
Mr Cabello blamed "gunmen in the service of the bourgeoisie" for Juan Pablo Pernalete's death and insisted there were no National Guard personnel in the area at the time.
They said evidence suggested that the 20-year-old student had been killed by a bolt gun by fellow protesters, whom they described as "terrorists".
But their version was dismissed by chief prosecutor Luisa Ortega, who gave a press conference on 24 May announcing that the young man had died of cardiogenic shock after being hit in the chest by a tear gas canister fired by a member of the National Guard.
Mr Pernalete's parents accuse the officials of deliberately twisting events to suit their narrative and of deceiving the public by trying to cover up the role played by the National Guard.
The parents want to sue the officials, which also include Defence Minister Gen Vladimir Padrino López and the head of the National Guard at the time, Gen Jose Benavides, for the psychological damages they said they suffered as a result of their alleged attempts to cover up the murder of Juan Pablo Pernalete.

Military spokesman Brig General Rabe Abubakar told the BBC the army had not killed anyone.
Reports of the deaths sparked outrage among Shia around the world and Iran called for their protection.
HRW said Nigeria's army version of events "does not stack up" and called for an independent judicial investigation into what happened.
The Shia have rejected a committee set up by the government to look into the incident, saying it would be biased.
"At best it was a brutal overreaction and at worst it was a planned attack on the minority Shia group," HRW Africa direction Daniel Bekele said.
The military accuses the pro-Iranian sect of trying to assassinate army chief Gen Tukur Buratai, which it denies.
It also released images purportedly showing Shia with sticks and some throwing stones at them when they tried to pass through a makeshift roadblock erected by the group.
But Human Rights Watch says there has been no "credible information" that any soldiers were injured or killed.
It is difficult to determine an accurate death toll but the information was gathered from hospital sources and eyewitnesses, the campaign group added in a statement.
Nigeria's Islamic spiritual leader, the Sultan of Sokoto, has warned that the raids on the sect, known as the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), could spark a new insurgency.
Militant Sunni Islamist group Boko Haram has killed thousands of people in its pursuit of an Islamic state, and has attacked the IMN.
The IMN said the military had destroyed its religious shrine and the home of its leader Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky during the raid.

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | For the past week traditional herdsmen have invaded the land, burned down the tourist lodge and brought in thousands of cattle to steal pasture.
Now police reinforcements have arrived and from the overlooking escarpment are trying to decide how best to restore law and order.
Suyian Soul tourist lodge - known locally as "Anne's Camp" - is overwhelmed with cattle picking through the charred remains of the looted buildings.
"We don't allow people to just walk onto the land," said Anne Powys, whose family has lived on this 44,000 acre farm for more than 100 years and is used to making grazing deals with the neighbours.
"We'd been talking to the local community for two months, but the young warriors who were driving the cattle came and said 'we don't want to speak to anyone, we're coming to take the grass, by force, so don't get in our way.'
"We realised that it wasn't them but local politics had changed their minds and that was disappointing."
The anti-stock theft police moved in, but in the confrontation a young man was killed, sparking an escalation - now the herdsmen have built cattle kraals and moved in.
At sunrise on a clear day, the sharp peak of Mount Kenya frames the horizon.
Giraffes, elephants and buffaloes are among the wildlife browsing the acacia bush.
A parched savannah grassland rolls off far into the distance. Laikipia County is a vast but harsh place to raise cattle, needing careful management to avoid overgrazing.
Tens of thousands of extra cattle belonging to Samburu, Pokot and Laikipiak Maasai pastoralists destroy the delicate balance, tearing through the landscape, consuming every piece of pasture and moving on.
Approaching the squatters is difficult - we tried to speak to herdsmen but they are armed, and suspicious of our intentions they fired shots at our car.
Other herdsmen we spoke to blame failed rains: "It's because of drought," said John Lapollei, who was illegally grazing his cattle on a nearby farm.
"This is the only place there is pasture, the only place we can bring our cows," he said, aware it was against the law but willing to risk arrest by an under-resourced police force.
The commercial farmers blame overgrazing and poor management for destroying previously fertile pasture.
"It's not about drought. The reality is there are too many people and too much livestock and it's a global thing," said Anne Powys, who blames climate change for more extreme weather.
A local politician has encouraged the herdsmen to take over the land using racially charged language - white Kenyans own most large farms.
Elections are a few months away and politics here are tribal and ruthless.
"It's not about white ranchers - it's about the whole community. There's a landscape of different peoples here who are suffering," said Anne Powys.
Large ranches owned by black Kenyans and many smallholders have also been targeted.
"People have been misused and told to go and destroy property - destroy the wildlife - try to destroy the livelihood of the place so you can take over."
A little further north at a large watering hole on Mugie Ranch, where buffaloes and elephants usually drink and tourists come to visit, there are cows as far as the eye can see, and more on the way.
"The damage occurring with the large number of stock at the moment is catastrophic," said Jamie Manual, who looks after the wildlife.
"The land will be overgrazed and degraded and this will turn to a situation where we have a disaster on our hands. A lot of wildlife will die through starvation through a lack of grass in the conservancy," he said.
The cattle make their way to the water around the carcass of an elephant killed in a clash with herdsmen.
"We've had a lot of incidents now where wildlife has come into conflict with herders and it results in a gunshot, a spear or a poison arrow."
It's a short drive to another carcass - a large bull elephant killed the day before - both have had their tusks removed.
"In amongst them are people who target elephants for ivory. We have lost seven elephants, seven are wounded and we are expecting to uncover a lot of other carcasses," said Jamie Manual.
At Suyian Ranch there's still uncertainty over how the invaders will be driven away and where they will go next.
And it's not just here - other farms in the area have been hit. Maria Dodds at Kifuko farm is living under siege.
Thousands of cattle are illegally occupying her land and many of her staff have fled after coming under fire on most days of the last three weeks.
The farmers broadly praise the local police, but say they don't have the resources or the numbers to confront the heavily armed pastoralists and restore law and order.
The national response has been slow, despite updated travel advice from the British High Commission about the clashes.
Laikipia is one of Kenya's most popular tourist areas, and many business owners are afraid that if the pastoralists are not stopped, the violence could spread and the economy could be badly affected.
Those already hit warn that unless the government takes decisive action, the land invasions will spread and the crisis deepen.
Anne Powys hopes it can still be resolved through dialogue.
"Even having lost my camp we are still willing to talk to our neighbours. We're going nowhere and neither are our community," she said. | There's a standoff at Suyian Ranch. |
Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Yahoo confirmed that for a four-day period in January, malware was served in ads on its homepage.
Experts estimate that as many as two million European users could have been hit.
Security firm Light Cyber said the malware was intended to create a huge network of Bitcoin mining machines.
"The malware writers put a lot of effort into making it as efficient as possible to utilise the computing power in the best way," Light Cyber's founder Giora Engel told the BBC.
Bitcoin mining malware is designed to steal computing power to make it easier for criminals to accumulate the virtual currency with little effort on their part.
"Generating bitcoins is basically guessing numbers," said Amichai Shulman, chief technology office of security firm Imperva.
"The first one to guess the right number gets 25 bitcoins and if you have a large volume of computers guessing in a co-ordinated way then you have a more efficient way of making money," he added.
Other than a computer running slower, victims will be unaware that their machine is being used in what could become known as a "bitnet".
It is a variation on the traditional botnet, networks of malware-infected computers used to churn out spam or bombard websites with requests in order to knock them offline.
Some experts estimate that such networks could be generating as much as $100,000 (£60,000) each day.
Since bitcoins have risen in value - at its peak one bitcoin was worth $1,000 - making it a lucrative market for online criminals.
"Bitcoin mining malware is the new frontier as criminal gangs look for new ways to make money," said Mr Engel.
Yahoo acknowledged the attack in a statement earlier this week.
"From December 31 to January 3 on our European sites, we served some advertisements that did not meet our editorial guidelines - specifically, they spread malware," the statement read.
It went on to say that users in America, Asia and Latin America weren't affected but did not specify how many European users were victims.
Fox IT, the Dutch cybersecurity firm which revealed the malware attack, estimates that there were around 27,000 infections every hour the malware was live on the site.
Over the period of the attack that could mean as many as two million machines were infected.
Such attacks may be hard to avoid, said Mr Shulman.
"For an ad platform it is virtually impossible to guarantee 100% malware free ads."
"There are many independent stakeholders involved in the process of web advertising, so from time to time any ad platform is bound to deliver malware." | Adverts on Yahoo's homepage were infected with malware designed to mine the Bitcoin virtual currency, according to security experts. |

But the United States and others back the Kurdish militia in Syria, the YPG, in its fight against the so-called Islamic State (IS) group.
Syria has accused Turkey of violating its sovereignty by backing "al-Qaeda-linked terrorists" in the north and has warned it has a right to respond.
"Turkish artillery shelling of Syrian territory constitutes direct support to the armed terrorist organisations," the Syrian government said in letters to the UN Secretary General and the Security Council's Chairman.
The letters accused Turkey of allowing about 100 gunmen - believed to be either "Turkish soldiers or Turkish mercenaries" - to cross into Syria.
"[Syria] will maintain its legitimate right to respond to the Turkish crimes and attacks and to claim compensation for the damage caused."
France's foreign ministry has also urged Turkey to end its assault on Kurdish fighters in northern Syria.
Syria's war hardly needs a new front, but another has now opened up.
Ankara sees the Kurdish PYD party and its YPG militia as terrorist organisations. It's worried that weapons are seeping over the border from Syria to the PKK, with which Turkey has renewed its armed conflict since a ceasefire broke down last year.
Washington rejects Ankara's view that the PYD is a terrorist organisation, seeing it instead as an effective ally against so-called Islamic State (IS). That has caused rifts between the two Nato allies and is hampering international peace talks.
Syria is the stage for several proxy wars, and Turkey has just started another, going after its Kurdish nemesis there and vowing to stop the PYD from cementing control of northern Syria.

Russia meanwhile has announced that the US and Russian presidents have agreed in a "frank and business-like" phone call to work more closely to implement the agreement reached in Munich on Thursday, under which world leaders pledged to work towards a cessation of hostilities in Syria within a week.
Russia is an ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and has been carrying out air strikes since September against what it terms "terrorists".
Russia argues that the "cessation" does not apply to its air strikes, which have tilted the balance of the war in favour of the Syrian government.
A Kremlin statement insisted that Russia remained committed to its battle against IS and "other terrorist organisations" fighting the Syrian government. Some of these groups are deemed moderate by the West.
Turkey's shelling of the Kurdish militia in Syrian began on Saturday.
The YPG rejects Turkey's demand to leave areas it has seized, saying Islamists would return if it left.

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | The eldest, 29, and his brother, 17, say one of the attackers was armed with a hacksaw and they both suffered cuts during the struggle.
They say they were harassed while driving through Bondy on Tuesday evening, wearing kippas.
Bondy is near Aulnay-sous-Bois, an area hit by anti-police rioting this month.
No suspects have been detained yet in connection with Tuesday's assault.
Bondy is part of Seine-Saint-Denis district, north-eastern Paris, where violence erupted earlier this month because of the alleged rape of a young black man by police.
The man, called Theo, left hospital this week after emergency treatment. Violence also rocked some other suburbs.
Seine-Saint-Denis has a high density of immigrants, many of them Muslims. The district suffers from high unemployment and urban deprivation.
A French group combating anti-Semitism, called BNVCA, said the two Jews had been racially abused first by two assailants who had followed them in a van.
In a statement to police, quoted by French commercial broadcaster LCI (in French), the younger brother says that when the van cut off their car, his brother lowered his window to ask why.
"I do what I want on the road," the driver allegedly replied. "You dirty Jews! You pr***s! You're going to die!"
The younger man says the driver then ran at his brother wielding a hacksaw, striking him with it as he tried to protect his face from attack.
When he saw the attacker aiming for his brother's neck, he struck him and a struggle ensued for the saw, in which his own fingers were cut, he said.
Some of the people then intervened to stop the attack, telling the brothers to leave, which they did, going to the casualty ward of a hospital, the younger brother said.
An eyewitness told LCI that he had taken a hacksaw off a man involved in the brawl but said he had seen no kippas.
"I saw neither Jew nor Muslim nor Christian nor atheist at the scene," he said. "As for the brothers' account, I heard nothing of the kind."
The BNVCA initially said that one of the brothers had lost a finger in the attack but they later corrected their account (in French) of the incident.
Anti-Semitism has been a feature of Islamist attacks in France in recent years: | French police are investigating an assault on two Jewish brothers in a Paris suburb, in which the attackers allegedly shouted anti-Semitic abuse. |
Give a concise summary of the following information. | Her case, which was supported by the Equality Commission, was settled out of court with no admission of liability.
The woman, who has been in the UK for 16 years, holds a British passport.
Speaking afterwards, she said: "I thought then, and I still think now, I was stopped because I am black."
The woman was leaving her mother-in-law to the airport when the incident occurred.
After the drop off, she and her children were waiting to be collected when she was approached by an immigration officer who asked to see her passport or ID.
She claimed that the officer told her she "looked foreign and not from here".
The woman showed the officer her driving licence and explained that she was British, that she was not travelling and was simply dropping off a relative.
The officer asked for details about her mother-in-law and a friend who had driven them to the airport, before checking her immigration status over a radio link.
After the case, the woman said: "I was doing what many other people do without incident - dropping off my relative for her flight.
"I've worked in the UK for 16 years, the most recent two of them in Northern Ireland, and I was really upset by this incident and the way it was handled by the Immigration Service."
She said the experience has had "a negative and unsettling effect" on her entire family.
"One of my children has asked me if we now have to carry our passports everywhere with us," she said.
Dr Michael Wardlow, Chief Commissioner of the Equality Commission in Northern Ireland, said he found the case "extremely disturbing".
"In effect, it has left a woman feeling she has been singled out and had her identity questioned in full public gaze," he said.
"And if a person feels, as this woman did, that they are singled out because of their skin colour, it can be particularly upsetting and humiliating - as it was for our complainant and her children, who witnessed the event.
"It is quite simply unacceptable that she feels she was challenged in a public place only because of the colour of her skin. It is vital that we challenge such simplistic stereotyping of people."
Dr Wardlow described as "ironic" the fact that the woman does not want to be publicly identified because of the fear of negativity or intimidation.
The Home Office has apologised to the woman for any offence caused. | The Home Office has settled a case with a black woman for £2,000 after she alleged an immigration officer at Belfast City Airport stopped her because she "looked foreign". |

Please provide a summary for the content below. | At countless UN climate meetings, Mr De Brum was a passionate champion of the rights of small island states.
He was instrumental in securing the "high ambition coalition" of rich and poor countries that was pivotal to a deal in the French capital.
Mr De Brum died at his home in Majuro, the capital of the Marshall Islands.
Born near the end of WWII, Mr De Brum grew up in an era when the tiny Pacific state was being used to host a number of US nuclear bomb tests.
When he was nine years old he witnessed one such detonation, while fishing with his grandfather around 200 miles away.
The resulting destruction of the atolls, the evacuation of many islanders as a result of the atomic tests became a hotly contested political issue. The islander's push for independence and compensation played a large part in Tony De Brum's political awakening.
As one of the Islands' first university graduates, Mr De Brum was heavily involved in the negotiations with the US that resulted in an agreement on independence and compensation signed in 1986.
However it was the threat of rising seas and a changing climate became the key issues of his time as a Marshall Islands foreign minister.
In the Paris climate negotiations, his warm, personal and relaxed style was very much in contrast to the stiffer, greyer faces of some teams.
He used his charm to build strong personal relationships with many of the political leaders from rich and poor countries alike.
This helped create the "coalition of high ambition," a group that ultimately involved around 100 nations, including the US, the EU, African, Caribbean and island states.
This alliance of rich and poor proved critical in pushing the deal through.
The biggest win from Mr De Brum's perspective, was that the Paris agreement committed to the goal of keeping global temperature increases close to 1.5C - "1.5 to stay alive," was a phrase often used by Mr De Brum.
Tributes to the former minister have been led by the Marshall Islands' President Hilda Heine.
"The very existence of the Paris Climate Agreement owes a lot to Tony De Brum," she wrote in a statement.
"He was a giant of history, a legend in every meaning of the world and a custodian of our shared future."
Others took to Twitter to extend their sympathies.
