In his dissent, Justice Greg Shaw wrote that he didn't think the case was properly filed nor did the court have jurisdiction.

Miss Vinson, 30, a nurse at Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, was diagnosed with Ebola days after visiting Coming Attractions Bridal & Formal store in Akron, Ohio in October. The store temporarily closed and was cleaned before reopening, but its owner, Anna Younker, said there was a lingering 'stigma' and business failed to bounce back. On Friday she announced on the shop's Facebook page that the bank has now cut off the business credit line, forcing her to sell the building for $338,000. Negative press: Coming Attractions Bridal & Formal store in Akron, Ohio, (above) which was linked to Ebola nurse Amber Vinson, is now up for sale after business failed to bounce back . Chain of events: Miss Vinson, 30, a nurse at Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas (pictured), was diagnosed with Ebola days after visiting the shop in October . The store, located at 1220 E. Tallmadge Ave., is listed with Cutler Real Estate. Particulars describe it as a 'great 4,000 sq ft brick retail building, built in 1996 with eye-catching curb appeal. 'The space would be ideal for beauty shop, message facility, auto parts store, doctors/dentist office, day-care center or veterinarian with plenty of parking.' Younker, who has been in business for 30 years, said her shop became known as the 'Ebola store' after news of Vinson's visit hit the press. She claims that the temporary closure and canceled orders cost the store at least $100,000. The loss wasn't covered by her insurance because the plan excludes viral illnesses. Ms Younker told NewsNet5 that Miss Vinson, who was visiting her hometown for a few days to plan for her wedding, should have been more careful.

'I wish that now she knew better not to travel. The impact its had on me is huge,' the store owner said. 'Never in a million years did I expect something like this to cause our business to have to close.' Ms Younker said she was particularly offended when Miss Vinson asked for a $480 refund on her bridesmaid dresses. Miss Vinson, who recovered from Ebola nine days after treatment, asked that the shop refund her bridesmaids the $479.89 they paid for their dresses, via her attorney. Ms Younker said the refund request feel like 'a slap in the face'. In January she posted a message to customers on Facebook, announcing that her business would be closing down. 'Despite our best efforts, we simply have been unable to recover,' she wrote. 'The decision for me to close was not easy for me. Anna Younker (above), who has been in business for 30 years, said her shop became known as the 'Ebola store' after news of Vinson's visit hit .

'I also want to thank my amazing staff for all of their hard work and dedication to our customers and our business. I appreciate your understanding and support.' One of the four staff members losing their jobs, Kayla Litz, told NewsNet5 that the Ebola scare had been particularly worrying for her because she was in her first trimester of pregnancy at the time. Ms Litz came through the quarantine period of 21 days Ebola-free along with the other employees of the store. The store is still filling orders that were made through January and plans to shut for good in May.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)ISIS militants in northern Syria released 19 Assyrian Christian hostages Sunday, an activist group said. According to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, all but one of the hostages were among the at least 220 Assyrians captured on February 23 during an attack on villages in the northern Syrian province of al-Hasakah. The Syrian Observatory had said previously that a self-proclaimed ISIS court ordered the release of 29 Assyrian Christian hostages, citing an Assyrian commander. The reasoning behind the release was not immediately clear. It was also not clear why only 19 people were let go Sunday. The "court" told the commander that the fate of the other kidnapped Assyrians has yet to be decided by ISIS Sharia jurists. When the decision was announced that at least some of the hostages would be released, Graeme Wood, with The Atlantic, said he was pleased to hear about it, but not entirely surprised. "ISIS has claimed for a long time to follow rules, and it claims that these Sharia courts will impose limits," he told CNN. "They can attempt to get credibility by showing that they follow rules and that they have some kind of transparent process that follows their particular implementation of Sharia law." Also this weekend, the Syrian Observatory reported that ISIS has killed 1,969 people, since the declaration of its "caliphate" last June. Nearly two-thirds of them -- 1,238 people -- were civilians. Six were children and eight were women, the group said. Of the rest, 95 were fighters from the al Qaeda-affiliated rebel group al-Nusra Front, the Syrian Observatory said, and 511 were officers and soldiers of regime forces. ISIS also executed 125 of its own members for "exceeding the limits in religion," the Syrian Observatory said. "We in SOHR believe that the real number of people that had been killed by (ISIS) is higher than the number documented by SOHR because there are hundreds of missing and detainees inside the (ISIS) jails, loss of communication with about 1,000 men of al-Shaitaat tribe, (and) dozens of Kurds who have still been missing" since ISIS attacked the Syrian town of Kobani in September.

Generate a summary of the text | The wife of a young lawyer found stabbed to death in a hotel just five blocks from the White House has made an emotional appeal for anyone with information about her husband’s death to come forward. The body of 30-year-old David Messerschmitt was discovered at The Donovan on February 10 - 24 hours after his wife, Kim Vuong, reported him missing. On Wednesday, six weeks after her husband’s brutal murder, Vuong spoke to the media outside the Metropolitan Police Department’s headquarters in Washington D.C. Scroll down for video . Kim Vuong made an emotional plea for anyone with information about husband David Messerschmitt's death at The Donovan hotel in Washington D.C. on February 10 to come forward on Wednesday . David Messerschmitt, pictured with his wife Kim Vuong, was found stabbed to death inside a boutique hotel in Washington, D.C. six weeks ago. Police are still unclear of the motive . Vuong asked the public for help in solving the mystery surrounding her husband's death. 'The world has lost a good person. David's family: a son and brother, and I have lost everything: my husband and my best friend. In one day, I lost the most important person in my life and the man I loved so much. And I have no answers,' she said. Messerschmitt, a 30-year-old D.C. attorney, was found partially clothed and stabbed in the back at the upscale boutique hotel. Vuong told police she last saw her husband on February 8 and received a text from Messerschmitt around 7:30 p.m. the following day that said he would behome soon. Messerschmitt never made it home and Vuong reported him missing on February 9. Messerschmitt's body was discovered the morning of February 10, reports ABC7. Also at Wednesday’s press conference police confirmed that a person of interest captured in previously released surveillance video was a woman. She can be seen wearing a dark, hooded jacket while walking through the lobby and a stairwell. Police have asked for help identifying the person and have offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Authorities have released images from surveillance footage showing a 'person of interest' at the hotel, who they have now confirmed is a woman . Before taking the stairs, the unidentified person waited impatiently for an elevator at the hotel around 7.45pm . Detective Paris White told Daily Mail Online last month that theft was not considered a motive in the crime because all of the victim's valuables, including his wallet, had been left at the scene. The couple, who married in 2012, lived together in an apartment just three miles from the hotel. Vuong was not aware her husband was at The Donovan when he sent the text message and she couldn't provide other details of his plans for that day, Detective White said. The DC Metropolitan detective said that the investigation was 'looking at everything' surrounding Messerschmitt's murder, including his work as a lawyer. His laptop was seized and investigators had trawled his social media accounts for clues.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Foreign intervention in Yemen's chaos has dramatically raised the stakes in the Arabian Peninsula, threatening to expand what is already a civil war into a conflict pitting Iran against Saudi Arabia and an Arab coalition. The Saudis launched Operation "Decisive Storm" last Wednesday with dozens of airstrikes in an effort to blunt the advance of Houthi militia and allied army units on the port of Aden -- and to protect the last bastion of Yemen's internationally-recognized President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi. There were also strikes in and around the capital, Sanaa, which resumed early Monday. Many analysts were surprised at the speed and scale of the Saudi air campaign, which the Kingdom said would continue until the Houthis -- a Shia minority that has swept across the country in the last six months -- retreated and laid down their arms. Essentially the Saudis are trying to bomb the Houthis to the negotiating table. The Houthis have responded by threatening a campaign of suicide bomb attacks inside Saudi Arabia. Iran, which has supported the Houthis as fellow Shia, described the Saudi offensive as a "dangerous move that would kill any chance at peaceful resolution of the crisis." Yemen is becoming the latest battleground in a contest for regional superiority between Saudi Arabia and Iran that goes back to the overthrow of the Shah during Iran's Islamic Revolution in 1979. It now resembles Syria, or Bosnia 20 years ago: a patchwork of shifting fiefdoms where force is the only means of influence. There is a real risk that Yemen will collapse as a state, with a revived independence movement in the south, the Houthis in the north, and the Sunni heartland in between. Adam Baron, a visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations and expert on Yemen's tortured recent history, says, "It's not difficult to divine Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners' motivations for taking this action." The Houthis were on the verge of overrunning Aden, a strategic port that overlooks straits through which 20,000 merchant ships pass every year. According to the U.S. Energy Information Agency, 3.8 million barrels of oil a day passed through the Bab el Mandab Straits in 2013. But Baron believes the Kingdom's "decision to launch a full-scale military action truly risks inflaming the situation further. It will be seen as an act of aggression by most Yemenis and risks taking the situation to a place that no-one will be able to control." As in Afghanistan, factions in Yemen do not respond well to foreign intervention. In 2009 the Saudis took military action against the Houthis in support of then President Ali Abdullah Saleh, using airstrikes and special forces, but were unable to subdue them. Now the Houthis have at least some of the $500 million in military equipment provided by the U.S. to Yemen since 2010, and they have proved to be capable fighters. They staged a lightning invasion of the capital, Sanaa, last September, taking advantage of popular discontent and an unwillingness among many army units to resist them. Since then they have moved on the Red Sea port of Hodeida and surged south toward Aden. They have also grafted themselves onto parts of the army in the battle against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) that is now raging in central and southern Yemen. Whether Saudi and Egyptian ground forces will become involved in the conflict is the big unknown. An Arab League summit in Egypt at the weekend agreed to form a joint military force, but that will take months at least to build. In the meantime, Saudi tanks and armor have been moved closer to the Yemeni border, but Saudi officials say there are no immediate plans to launch a ground offensive. Yemen has history as a graveyard of foreign forces. In the 1960s Egypt intervened in Yemen's civil war on behalf of the anti-royalists -- an operation that sapped the Egyptian army and contributed to its failure against the Israelis in the 1967 war. The extent of the Houthis' backing from Iran is hotly disputed. President Hadi said at the weekend that Iran was behind Yemen's turmoil and the Houthis were no more than its stooges. The Houthis deny receiving help from Iran, but as the conflict worsens, they may indeed turn to Tehran for the sort of military advice that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards are providing in Iraq -- and for funding and oil. Saudi and Iranian involvement in Yemen threatens to deepen sectarian distrust in a country where Sunni and Shia have historically not been enemies. This would suit both AQAP and ISIS (Islamic State in Syria and Iraq) which announced its sudden and murderous arrival in Yemen this month with massive suicide bombings at two Houthi mosques in Sanaa, killing at least 150 people. As the International Crisis Group puts it, a "long history of coexistence is beginning to break down" in Yemen. Baron says one critical question is whether ISIS and AQAP will now go head-to-head in trying to kill as many Houthis as possible. For the United States, which worked hard to "stand up" the Hadi government and encourage its campaign to eradicate AQAP, recent events have been a disaster. There will be less actionable intelligence against one of al Qaeda's most potent affiliates, and its Sunni allies in the Middle East (and especially the Gulf) will have even less interest than before in dialogue with Iran on issues from its nuclear program to Iraq. U.S. options have also diminished with the hurried withdrawal of some 100 military personnel from al-Anad airbase in the south of Yemen hours before it was seized by the Houthis. Drone operations from the base had at least blunted AQAP's freedom of action, even if they failed to eradicate the group. The unseen hand in Yemen's collapse is former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who was badly injured in a bomb attack in 2011, and eventually (very eventually) persuaded to cede office to Hadi after 33 years in power. But he was allowed to remain in the country and has not given up his political ambitions. Last fall, he was sanctioned by both the United Nations and the U.S. for undermining efforts to forge a new political settlement in Yemen. Baron believes Saleh is biding his time -- waiting for an opportunity to inject his son, Ahmed Ali, into Yemen's complex political equation. Ahmed Ali was formerly commander of Yemen's Republican Guard, and parts of the armed forces are still regarded as loyal to the Saleh clan. For now, Saleh has a marriage of convenience with the Houthis, but few expect it to survive. When he was President, Saleh launched a series of brief wars against the Houthis between 2004 and 2010. "Neither trusts the other; their recent cooperation notwithstanding, they are competing for political dominance, especially in the northern tribal highlands and the military," says the International Crisis Group. For the people of Yemen, the brief flash of hope that came with the Arab Spring is now a distant memory. Last week, at least nine protesters were killed in the central city of Taiz and more than 100 injured by Houthi militia. Aden has been rocked by looting and score-settling among rival clans. "Human rights in Yemen are in free-fall as even peaceful protest becomes a life-threatening activity," according to Said Boumedouha of Amnesty International. For the past three years, different parties and factions have fought over the state's few assets while the standard of living of ordinary Yemenis has continued to plummet. A U.N.-led effort to agree on a new constitution has been mired in squabbling, with all parties failing to honor commitments. "Even more damaging, those with most influence -- the Saudis and Iranians in particular -- are taking steps to undercut the negotiations," says the International Crisis Group. "This combination of proxy wars, sectarian violence, state collapse and militia rule has become sadly familiar in the region. Nobody is likely to win such a fight," the ICG says. But for now, such a fight seems destined to continue. | Saudi Arabia-led coalition launched airstrikes in Yemen last Wednesday .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Opening statements in the trial of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev set for Wednesday . After two months of jury selection, a panel of 12 jurors and six alternates was seated Tuesday for the federal death penalty trial of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The all-white panel included 10 men and eight women, 12 of whom will vote on Tsarnaev's fate at the end of a trial expected to wrap up in June. Six will serve as alternates. Opening statements in the case are scheduled for Wednesday. Tsarnaev, 21, faces 30 charges in connection with twin bombings at the finish line of the marathon April 15, 2013. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured. He is also charged in the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer days after the bombings. If the jury convicts Tsarnaev, the trial will move on to a second phase to determine his punishment. The only two options available for the jury are life in prison or the death penalty. Judge George O'Toole Jr., prosecutors and Tsarnaev's lawyers questioned prospective jurors individually. Many potential jurors were excused when they said they had already formed an opinion on Tsarnaev's guilt or were morally opposed to the death penalty. Many others were dismissed because of personal connections to the bombings, including people who have friends or family who were near the finish line when the bombs went off or who knew first responders who treated victims. During the jury selection process, Tsarnaev's lawyers tried repeatedly to get the trial moved out of Massachusetts, saying he could not find a fair and impartial jury because of the emotional impact the bombings had in the state. O'Toole rejected three change-of-venue motions, saying the process of carefully questioning jurors to detect bias was successful in finding impartial jurors. The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals twice refused to order the trial moved. The jury selection process began in early January when more than 1,350 potential jurors filled out questionnaires on their ties to the attack and their views on the death penalty. To be eligible to serve, candidates needed not to have formed a set opinion of Tsarnaev's guilt and to be willing to consider voting for execution if he was found guilty. Tsarnaev's lawyers last week asserted that the court had violated its own procedures about random selection, reordering jurors as they arrived in a way that reduced the number of black candidates questioned. Tsarnaev's attorneys on Monday offered a possible glimpse into their strategy when they argued that they need to be able to discuss the defendant's relationship with his older brother, Tamerlan, early in the trial. They described 26-year-old Tamerlan, who died following a gun battle with police three days after the bombing, as the driving force behind the attack, saying that his younger brother participated out of submissiveness.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN)The Afghan woman is dragged onto a roof and hit with a stick, as a horde of angry, screaming men swarm around her. At one point, video shows her standing with her face covered in blood. She is pushed and falls over, and her beating continues with feet, with rocks, with boards. Then, in the last part of the video, her body is engulfed in flames -- though it's not known whether, by that point, she was already dead. This horrific scene played out in Kabul on Thursday. It's already had ripple effects, including a United Nations statement on Friday condemning what it called "the brutal killing and burning of a 27-year-old mentally ill woman." That corresponds with what the woman's parents told CNN affiliate Tolo News, saying their daughter suffered from mental health problems for the last 16 years. It's not known whether her attackers knew this, or that it would have mattered. What motivated the mob, according to witnesses, was a belief that the targeted woman had burned the Quran. CNN hasn't seen any proof that she set a copy ablaze. Afghanistan's Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs has found no such evidence, either, according to Tolo. Mark Bowden, acting head of the U.N. Afghanistan mission, said that burning the Quran hurts efforts to promote "understanding and mutual respect between cultures and religions." "However, the brutal murder of this woman is an unspeakably horrendous act," Bowden said, "that should result in those responsible being prosecuted, to the fullest extent possible, under Afghan law." Nahid, a 45-year-old woman who goes only by one name, told CNN what she saw and heard outside the Shah Do Shamshera shrine, which is opposite a mosque by the same name. A group of women were shouting at the eventual victim, accusing her of burning the Quran, according to Nahid. The woman yelled back. This got the attention of men nearby. Police tried to close gates to keep them out but it didn't work, said the witness, noting that many men jumped a fence and began beating the accused woman. The hits and kicks ended after someone poured fuel on the woman and lit her on fire, said Nahid, who watched from inside the shrine. "(They) burned her and then threw her corpse away in the Kabul River," she said. As of Saturday, 11 people had been arrested in connection with the woman's death, according to Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Seddiqi. Seddiqi said that the investigation is ongoing. President Ashraf Ghani ordered two investigations related to the case -- one into the beating itself and another including religious scholars. His government is "committed to protecting and safeguarding all Islamic values," including prohibitions on burning the Quran (if that is, indeed, what this woman did). That's a responsibility of the nation's security and legal system, Ghani said, not of individual Afghans. "No individual is allowed to make oneself a judge and use violence to punish others in degrading manners," the President said. "Launching personal trials and choosing who to punish stands in clear contradiction to Sharia and Islamic justice." CNN's Masoud Popalzai reported from Kabul, and CNN's Greg Botelho wrote this story from Atlanta. | 11 have been arrested in woman's beating, government spokesman says .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Gary Bowyer's final words to his Blackburn players will be very simple before they step out at Anfield on Sunday: 'Good luck.' The Rovers boss knows the odds for the FA Cup quarter-final are heavily weighted in their opponents' favour, and would have been before Liverpool hit the run of form that has seen them win nine of their last 11 Premier League games. 'It's David vs Goliath,' said Bowyer. Gary Bowyer knows the odds are against Blackburn ahead of their FA Cup clash against Liverpool . Jordan Rhodes hit his 13th of the campaign to help Blackburn to their first away win since October . 'Nobody's giving us a chance outside of our dressing room. 'I think they're the most impressive team in the Premier League at the moment and the football that they're playing is fantastic. Obviously full credit to the manager for the way he changed his formation. 'We've studied the videos, we've come up with a gameplan, and we've worked with the players on it. We'll go and take the challenge to Liverpool. 'We've been very organised and very disciplined in the previous meetings with the Premier League teams, and then of course along the way you need a bit of luck. Rhodes turns the ball in past Wednesday keeper Jason Steele to give the visitors the lead . 'The mood's one of excitement and rightly so. The lads have earned the right to play at Anfield with the performances in the previous rounds.' Bowyer said his team will go into the match high on confidence, and they can certainly take great encouragement from their performances in the last two rounds. Neither Swansea nor Stoke enjoyed their visits to Ewood Park, with Blackburn racking up seven goals across the fourth and fifth rounds. Although Anfield presents a major step up, it is a ground that holds the most special of memories for Rovers. Twenty years ago in May, Blackburn celebrated the best moment in their history when they lifted the Premier League trophy at the Merseyside ground. Bowyer believes his team will go into the match high on confidence following the win against Sheffield Wednesday . The achievement will be marked by a minute's applause in the 20th minute on Sunday as a tribute to their late benefactor Jack Walker. Bowyer said of the cup run: 'Financially it's been excellent for the club at a time when we've got a transfer embargo and money's tight. 'For the players and the staff and supporters, it's been a great journey so far. But we want it to continue. 'For the supporters it's going to be a great day out. They're going to bask in the memory of 20 years ago. I think there's something planned in the 20th minute, which is going to be really good, but the players are going to do a job.' Josh King scores for Blackburn during his side's memorable 4-1 victory against Stoke in February . Steven Gerrard is back in training with Liverpool but he won't walk straight back into the team . Bowyer is also taking pride in earning positive headlines for Blackburn after the most turbulent of times. Rovers became a club at war with itself following the takeover in 2010 by Venky's and less than two years later they were relegated from the top flight. They had got through three managers in a season and were heading towards another relegation when Bowyer, who joined Blackburn's backroom staff in 2004, began another stint as caretaker manager in March 2013. Jordan Henderson has scored twice in a week for an in-form Liverpool side . Bowyer believes Brendan Rodgers' side are the 'most impressive' in the Premier League at the moment . His reward for stabilising the club was to be given a chance as permanent boss, and two years later Rovers are finally a football story again. Bowyer said: 'The supporters have been through a hell of a lot over the last couple of years but we're starting to put foundations in place, we've done that over the last 20 months, and we're starting to make progress. We've got to continue that. 'It's a measure of how far we've come already the fact that we're at this stage of the competition, we've got some very talented footballers and they're going to excel in that environment (at Anfield).' | Blackburn boss Gary Bowyer believes his side can cause an upset in FA Cup sixth round match against Liverpool .

Where is the Porce III Dam | The Porce III Dam is an embankment dam on the Porce River 90 kilometres (56 mi) northeast of Medellín in Antioquia Department, Colombia. The dam was constructed between 2004 and 2011 for the primary purpose of hydroelectric power generation.
Background
Between 1974 and 1976, hydrological studies were carried out on the Porce River and between 1982 and 1983, studies regarding the river's hydroelectric development were completed. The study recommended the five projects, Porce I, Porce II, Porce III, Porce IV and Ermitaño. In December 1984, the feasibility report for Porce III was submitted and complementary studies were carried out between 1986 and 1996. In 2002, the design and consultancy contracts were awarded along with the environmental license issued. In 2004, construction on the dam began and the river was diverted by 2007. By 2010, the dam began to impound the reservoir and was complete by 2010. Between 2011, all four generators were commissioned. | The Porce III Dam is an embankment dam on the Porce River 90 kilometres (56 mi) northeast of Medellín in Antioquia Department, Colombia.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | FA chairman Greg Dyke challenged more clubs to grow their own Harry Kane as he unveiled his new quota proposals designed to boost the numbers of elite English footballers. Dyke wants to change the rules until nearly half of each 25-man squad in the Barclays Premier League is 'Home Grown' under his stricter definition of what makes a 'Home Grown' player. Together with new Home Office rules on work permits for non-EU footballers, agreed with the FA and set to be introduced in May, he believes this can increase the ratio of English players in the Premier League from 35 to over 40 per cent and produce an England team to win the World Cup in 2022. Greg Dyke has challenged more clubs to grow their own Harry Kanes to help England win the World Cup . FA chairman Dyke has proposed three rule changes to what makes a home-grown player . While there is a slight increase in the number of English players in the Premier League this year — up from 32% last year to 35% — that is largely down to Burnley being promoted. If they were to be relegated and replaced by Watford — second in the Championship — the proportion would fall to 31%. However, only 22% of the starters in the current top four teams are qualified to play for England, compared to 28% last year. In 2014, just 23 English players appeared in the Champions League group stage, compared with 78 Spaniards, 55 Germans and 51 Brazilians. This season the three English clubs that reached the knockout stages of the Champions League started only 10 English players, compared to 12 French and nine Spanish in those three sides. In the last two weeks only five English players started in the second legs of the knockout stage. In 2010 England Under 17s won the European Championship, beating Spain in the final. Of that 18-man match-day squad, only four have gone on to play more than 20 top-flight games, while double that from the Spanish squad have done so in La Liga. Of the 12 clubs who have played in each of the last five Premier League seasons, the average number of home-grown players per squad has gone from 11.4 to 9.4. Only 62% of current home-grown players are qualified to play for England. Dyke set this target 18 months ago when he established a Commission to investigate the diminishing number of English players at the top level and a clock on the wall of the coaches' room at St George's Park is counting down to the World Cup final in 2022, albeit the wrong date since FIFA confirmed the Qatar tournament will be moved to winter. Dyke warned he is prepared to force his rule-changes through the courts if agreements cannot be reached with the Premier League and the Football League. His proposal is to make three changes to the 'Home Grown' player rules, to be phased in over four years from the start of 2016-17. 1) A Home Grown player is a player irrespective of nationality who is registered to play in England or Wales for three years before his 18th birthday (rather than his 21st birthday as currently stated). This takes players like Cesc Fabregas out of the equation, and others signed at 16. 2) Reduce the number of non-Home Grown players in a 25-man first-team squad from 17 to 13. And so increase the Home-Grown players from eight to 12. 3) Introduce requirement that at least two Home Grown players are 'club trained', ie. have been registered with their current club for three years prior to their 18th birthday. Dyke's vision is to open pathways for those like Kane to make the final step from talented development player to the first-team without unexceptional foreign players blocking the route. 'How many more Harry Kanes are out there who just can't get a game?' said Dyke, summoning the example of the 21-year-old Tottenham striker who has broken into the first-team this season, took his goal tally to 29 with a hat-trick on Saturday and has been rewarded with his first senior England call-up. Kane scored his first Premier League hat-trick for Tottenham at the weekend and has a bright England future . England manager Roy Hodgson has called up Kane to the England senior squad for the first time . 'Suddenly an English kid who was out on loan and touch-and-go to get a game in the first-team is the top-scorer in English football. It's great news. 'A lot of very talented kids are going into professional football clubs at a very young age and an awful lot are getting lost. We have to do more to help these kids and give future England managers a greater chance of success. 'It is also not aimed at disadvantaging our clubs in UEFA competitions. Apart from Porto, who have this established association with Brazilian talent, every other club in the Champions League quarter-finals would satisfy these criteria. 'If Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, PSG and Monaco can do it, why can't our clubs?' Dyke (centre) has a vision that he hopes will enable England to win the 2022 World Cup . Only 23 English players appeared in the Champions League group stage this season, and three - John Terry (left), Steven Gerrard (centre) and Frank Lampard (right) - have retired from international duty . Only 23 English players appeared in the Champions League group stage this season, compared with 51 Brazilians, 55 Germans and 78 Spanish players. Three - John Terry, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard - have retired from international duty. Only five English players started in the second leg of the last 16 ties: Terry, Gary Cahill, Joe Hart, James Milner and Danny Welbeck. 'That's the grim picture at the top of the game, but it's hard to argue we don' t have the talent,' said Dyke, who applauded the work of the academies and the Premier League's Elite Player Performance Plan. The FA chairman reaffirmed the his commitment to improving coach education and grassroots facilities but has abandoned the idea of allowing B-teams to compete within the Football League framework. Gary Cahill (left) was one of just five English players to start in the second leg of the Champions League last 16 . Steve Cotterill's Bristol City won the Johnstone's Paint Trophy on Sunday, but plans are forming to include Under 21 teams alongside League One and Two clubs . 'There's no point flogging a dead horse,' he said, but plans are forming to include U21 teams from Premier League clubs in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. Asked about the reaction he expected from the clubs, Dyke replied: 'Some will buy in, some won't. We will go round and try to convince them. We will ask: Are you sure you haven't got a Harry Kane playing in your youth side? 'It's not an option I'd like to go down but the FA could change the rules. Or we could persuade UEFA to change the rules.' Dyke has taken legal advice and believes he could force this through. The Italian FA have agreed to non-EU restrictions in Serie A from 2016. Mame Biram Diouf qualifies for a work permit under the old formula, but not under the new formula . Bryan Oviedo (right) is another player who would struggle to obtain a work permit under the new system . The Home Office work permit changes are expected to quicken the process. From May, non-EU work permits will be reset with a new formula involving the player's cost combined with his nationality and international experience and leagues where he has played. The top 50 ranked nations will be eligible, rather than the top 70. Overall this would increase the opportunities of Brazilians and Argentines but reduce those from lower ranked nations, meaning that players like Bryan Ovideo, Ryo Miyaichi, Roger Espinoza, Brek Shea, Mame Biram Diouf and Geoff Cameron who qualified under the old system, would fail. The FA estimate that 42 players who acquired work permits in the last five years would not under the new rules. And, although there will be an appeals process, it will be less lenient than before when 80 per cent of appeals were successful. | Greg Dyke has unveiled new quota proposals to boost home-grown talent .

The Wolfsburg striker has been a transformed player since 2014 ticked over into 2015 and just can't stop scoring. Hardly prolific in the first-half of the season, with just one goal to his credit, the Dutchman is now Europe's hottest striker following a sensational run of form. Dost's double in Wolfsburg's thrilling 5-3 comeback win over Werder Bremen on Sunday took his 2015 tally to 13 goals in eight outings.

His total is second only to Barcelona's Argentine star Lionel Messi, who has 15 goals in 14 matches since the beginning of January. But arguably Dost's current form is more impressive, given that the Bundesliga only resumed on January 30 following its winter break. Having scored against Cologne in Wolfsburg's last fixture before the winter pause, Dost picked up where he'd left off with two against league leaders Bayern Munich on January 30. He then found the net in the home win over Hoffenheim on February 7, before scoring four in a remarkable 5-4 win at Bayer Leverkusen a week later. The run has continued, with Dost scoring two goals in each of Wolfsburg's matches with Sporting Lisbon, Hertha Berlin and Werder Bremen in the last fortnight. The 25-year-old's prolific form has pretty much sealed Wolfsburg a place in next season's Champions League - though they are eight points behind runaway leaders Bayern, they have a 10-point cushion from third-placed Borussia Monchengladbach. They are also through to a last 16 Europa League tie with Italian giants Inter Milan. Dost's form has also stolen the thunder of Andre Schurrle, who arrived at the Volkswagen Arena from Chelsea on deadline day for a fee of £22m. 'Things keep going, and they're going well,' said Dost after his brace in Bremen. 'Every week I'm here saying that [the goals] will stop again, but I just keep going and we'll see where I am in the end.' Dost's form has ensured Wolfsburg are on course for a Champions League place . Dost celebrates after scoring in Wolfsburg's dramatic 5-3 win at Werder Bremen on Sunday . It hasn't always been so good for Dost. This is his third season in the Bundesliga and by some way his best - he scored 12 in 33 matches in his first season at Wolfsburg, then five in 15 last year. The 6ft 5in target man has prospered from an effective link up with the former Chelsea man Kevin de Bruyne, who has contributed six assists since the Bundesliga resumed in January. Born in the Dutch city of Deventer, Dost's first professional clubs were Emmen and Heracles Almelo, where 15 goals during the 2009-10 season led to rumours of a move to Ajax. In the end, the 20-year-old moved elsewhere in the Eredivisie to Heerenveen and realised his potential with two prolific seasons. In 2011-12, he scored a remarkable 38 goals in 39 matches in Dutch league and cup, finishing as the country's top goalscorer. Dost salutes the crowd at the Volkswagen Arena after scoring in the win over Hertha Berlin . Applying a cool finish to score against Hertha Berlin during the recent Bundesliga encounter . Inevitably, there was interest from the Premier League, with Dost turning down a £7m move to Aston Villa at the time. Instead he moved to the Bundesliga and Wolfsburg, making an immediate impact with a stoppage time winner away to Stuttgart on his debut. Aside from that, his winner at defending champions Borussia Dortmund last season was also memorable. But it is this season that has seen Dost elevate his game to another level. Having started the campaign as Wolfsburg's third-choice striker, he is now indispensible. With his eye for goal, clinical finishing, aerial prowess and ability to hold the ball up, Dost has matured into the complete package, raising plenty of eyebrows throughout the football world. | Dost has 13 goals in eight matches since the start of 2015 .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Manuel Pellegrini's problems are mounting but he refused to concede the title despite suffering a hugely damaging defeat at Anfield. Coming so soon after losing 2-1 to Barcelona in the Champions League City needed a show of character against Liverpool but got the opposite, and the Manchester City manager admitted the performance was not good enough. The defeat leaves City five points behind Chelsea having played a game more, but Pellegrini saw City pull their dream of becoming champions out of the fire last season and he hopes history will repeat itself, even though time is running out. Manuel Pellegrini is refusing to accept defeat in the title race despite seeing Manchester City lose again . Pellegrini (left) looks on despondently as he shakes the hands of Brendan Rodgers (right) at full-time . ‘I think we never give up about the title,’ said Pellegrini. ‘We must try to improve our play first and after that try to win our next game. You never know in football what will happen. 'It is more difficult when you have less games and you continue with the same points. ‘But I don’t think the team can think about that. The team must think about how we can win the next game. 'There were a lot of problems. There were two goals from Liverpool, very good goals in the top corner. We missed three clear chances. It was a close game. ‘Liverpool played very well and they deserved to win. I am concerned about the whole team. We were playing very well against Stoke and Newcastle. Philippe Coutinho lets fly from range to score the winning goal for Liverpool against City . Hart is left helpless as Coutinho's effort rises above his outstretched hand and hits the back of the net . Liverpool were pegged back as Edin Dzeko finished off a delightful team passing move . 'We start this week against Barcelona and then (here), it was not our team, we cannot lose so many balls with the technical players we have. ‘That is more important to analyse than the performance of one player. It is more important to think as a team.’ If Pellegrini was disconsolate, Brendan Rodgers was exultant and he hailed Philippe Coutinho’s latest magical display as the Brazilian catapulted Liverpool firmly into the Champions League race. Liverpool extended their unbeaten run in the Barclays Premier League to an 11th game and Coutinho’s role in inspiring the win was crucial, not least when he scored a sublime 75th-minute goal. Coutinho’s influence on the team has grown in recent weeks, with three goals in his last seven appearances, and Rodgers feels the key to this consistency stems from him having peace of mind after signing a long-term contract last month. Liverpool boss Rodgers can't hide his joy at the final whistle as Liverpool edged out City . He had been spared the long trip to Istanbul for the Europa League tie against Besiktas in midweek and the benefits were obvious as his passing and movement tormented Pellegrini’s side. ‘It was a brilliant result and an equally brilliant performance,’ Rodgers enthused. What made Liverpool’s performance all the more meritorious, according to Rodgers, was that their preparations had been disrupted by the Europa League. They only returned to Merseyside at 4.30am on Friday yet finished the stronger side on Sunday. ‘It is a big win but we still have a lot of games to go,’ said Rodgers. ‘But it is a significant win for us, another three points. 'To prepare yourself for a game against the champions is no mean feat. You have to take your hat off to them, the performance was at a real top level.’ | Manchester City lost 2-1 at Liverpool on Sunday afternoon . The champions are five points behind Chelsea in the Premier League title race - and have also played a game more . Despite that manager Manuel Pellegrini insists his players will never give up on the title despite it now looking improbable they will retain it . Elsewhere, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers hailed his side after the win . The Reds have now taken 20 points from a possible 24 in 2015 . |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | It emerged on Monday that Raheem Sterling could be prepared to turn down as much as £180,000 per week as contract talks with Liverpool continue to stall. The England international's current £35,000-per-week deal has another two years to run at the end of this season and Sterling has so far turned down a number of offers from the Anfield club. Sterling has become increasingly concerned by his constant switching of positions in the Liverpool side and has even been utilised at right wing back by Brendan Rodgers. Here, Sportsmail answers five key questions on the Liverpool star’s future. The Liverpool forward was in action for his country on Friday night in a European qualifier . Raheem Sterling is prepared to turn down a mammoth £180,000-a-week deal at Liverpool . 1) What is Sterling’s issue with the deal on the table? Brendan Rodgers dug himself a hole by claiming Sterling is the one of the best young players in Europe. Someone of that stature is worth, at least, £100,000-per-week. Your moral views on whether a player so young should be paid so much is irrelevant. You pay your best players the going rate. Sterling, arguably, is Liverpool's best player meaning he should be, at least, on a par with Daniel Sturridge's £150,000 per week. Likewise, there are issues with Sterling's role in the team at the moment. He's been shifted around the pitch by Rodgers - even utilised as a right wing back on occasions. He sees his best position as being through the middle. Sterling's current £35,000-per-week deal has two years to run at the end of this season . The 20-year-old scored for England in their 4-0 win over Lithuania at Wembley on Friday night . Sterling impressed as part of England's front three but he has been used at wing back by Liverpool . 2) What would it take to get him to sign a new deal? Certainly an improvement on the £90,000-per-week deal they've offered but even that may not be enough for him to sign. Qualifying for the Champions League will also help matters. A player of Sterling's rising stock wants to be plying his trade on the biggest club stage of all. Playing in the Europa League next season is nowhere near as glamorous. Assurances over his role in the side may help, too. 3) Are Liverpool losing patience with their star man? The fans are starting to get a little restless. The longer this drags on, the more agitated supporters become. Fans believe there will be a resolution but that optimism isn't shared by those in the corridors of power at Anfield. They know there's a real danger of Sterling point blank refusing to sign any sort of contract. Liverpool chiefs need to keep negotiations amicable. It's a delicate juggling act for them. There will be no shortage of suitors for Sterling should he leave Liverpool - in the Premier League and Europe . Sterling takes on Lithuania's Georgas Freidgeimas during the Euro 2016 qualifier at Wembley . 4) What is the likelihood of Sterling leaving Anfield in the summer? It remains in Liverpool's hands. The fact of the matter is Sterling will still have two years left on his current £35,000-per-week contract this summer. They could sit tight and maintain he isn't for sale. But whether Liverpool want to risk their prized-asset entering the final year of his contract remains to be seen. Also, will Rodgers want a player who has made it clear he doesn't want to stay? If there is no agreement over a contract, Sterling is likely to leave this summer. 5) If he was to go, what are his options? Clubs across the continent will be clambering for his signature should Liverpool decide to sell. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are both monitoring the situation carefully. Likewise, Manchester City will be hugely interested in the forward. Arsenal are also keeping tabs on Sterling's situation but the greater finances of their rivals mean they are likely to be outsiders.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | A stag party in Las Vegas is usually the cue to go a little crazy. But the groom, my mate Justin Jacob, was adamant he didn't want 'crazy'. On this trip, we were determined to do things differently. After all, we are all older and wiser now… . Vegas wasn't the first choice among our party - we had originally planned to go to Thailand. There were going to be just five of us, so we thought we would head somewhere with some nightlife and a good spa so that we could relax too. The famous Las Vegas casinos are definitely worth a punt if you're feeling flush . But then the number who wanted to travel grew to ten, so Justin suddenly announced: 'We're going to Vegas. I don't care if it's been done before – we're going to go and do our best out there.' As Justin's best man, it was my job to organise the stag party - and I discovered what a nightmare that can be. First of all, it was impossible to get everyone to pay the money at the right time. And then those who had said they were coming suddenly decided that they couldn't make it, and people who had said 'no' then announced they were available. We planned a three-night trip. Going on past experience, I knew it would be intense - nobody gets much sleep because there is always something going on. You plan to go to bed, for example, and then you get sucked into going to a pool party. Las Vegas is home to many stag and hen parties - but the groom on Jeff's trip said he didn't want 'crazy' We stayed at The Cosmopolitan, one of the newer hotels in Vegas. It's vast - just walking from one end to the other takes about half an hour. It has great shops and 14 different restaurants, including STK, a steakhouse which also has branches in New York and LA. Like most of the hotels in Vegas, The Cosmopolitan is very skilfully laid out so that it doesn't matter where you are going to or coming from, at some point on your journey through the hotel you will find yourself passing the slot machines and the gaming tables. Nobody gets much sleep in Las Vegas because there is always something going on. You plan to go to bed, for example, and then you get sucked into going to a pool party . When you get to your room at the end of the day, you're unlikely to have any change in your pockets - it will all have been eaten by the 'slots'. I'm not really a gambler, so I think I probably came home with a little bit more in my pocket than the others. I had to be the sensible one, after all, because I saw it as my duty to look after the groom. You're there to make sure he's having a great time - within the limits, of course. As the best man, Jeff (left) was 'Mr Sensible' on the trip, and looked after the groom-to-be Justin Jacob (right) We didn't start off with a carefully drafted plan about how we spend our days in Vegas - instead, we decided that we would all meet up at certain points. We would all get together at dinner, for example, and then we would all head out to a club afterwards. It wasn't that difficult to arrange. We had three rooms between us, so it was usually just a case of picking up the phone and saying: 'Right, we're meeting in 15 minutes.' We looked at going on a Grand Canyon tour, but in the end we never really escaped the hotel scene – Vegas really sucked us in, chewed us up and spat us out! Half the time you're not sure whether it's breakfast or whether you should be getting ready for a night out . While we had planned to take it easy, in the end we partied like we did when we were in our 20s. The problem is that when you're down in the gaming rooms, there is no natural light, so you have no idea whether it's night or day. Half the time you're not sure whether it's breakfast or whether you should be getting ready for a night out. But we all agreed the trip was a huge success. We didn't get much sleep but we had plenty of fun. And on a stag trip, that's all you can ask for. Getting there . Virgin Holidays offers three nights in Las Vegas from £1,379 per person for departures in June. This includes return flights from Gatwick to Las Vegas and accommodation at The Cosmopolitan.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Utah's governor signed a bill Monday that brings back firing squads as a potential way to execute some death row prisoners. Lethal injection remains the primary method for carrying out executions in the state, Gov. Gary R. Herbert said in a statement. A firing squad would only be used in the event the necessary drugs cannot be obtained. "Those who voiced opposition to this bill are primarily arguing against capital punishment in general and that decision has already been made in our state," said Marty Carpenter, a spokesman for Herbert. "We regret anyone ever commits the heinous crime of aggravated murder to merit the death penalty and we prefer to use our primary method of lethal injection when such a sentence is issued. However, when a jury makes the decision and a judge signs a death warrant, enforcing that lawful decision is the obligation of the executive branch," he said. Utah banned death by firing squad in 2004, though inmates who chose that option before the law changed still ended up being shot to death. The last execution by firing squad was in 2010, and it was also the most recent execution in Utah. A Utah firing squad also executed Gary Gilmore in 1977, the first death by capital punishment after the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty the prior year.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | George North has been warned he could put his career in jeopardy if he plays again this season after suffering a third confirmed concussion in the space of four months. The Northampton and Wales winger, who sustained two head injuries against England in February but was controversially allowed to play on after medics missed the incidents, was knocked unconscious again on Friday night in Saints' Aviva Premiership win over Wasps. Northampton director of rugby Jim Mallinder indicated after the game that the 22-year-old could still be considered for next Saturday's European Champions Cup clash with Clermont, but brain injury experts insist he should not play again this season. 'George needs to be given an extended rest period to figure out if this is something that he has just not recovered from or whether there are genuine issues,' World Rugby concussion advisor Professor Willie Stewart said. George North was knocked out after colliding with Nathan Hughes' knee during the win over Wasps on Friday . 'I think he personally needs to say, 'No, I'm not playing again this season'. If he does play again too soon it could be the end of his World Cup or even his career. 'The people looking after him, including Northampton and the Welsh Rugby Union, should be recommending some time out and the experts he is seeing should recommend some time out. 'No-one should be talking about playing him next week. That's just ridiculous. I know at this time of year we're getting into the thick of it for trophies and championships but it's also getting into the sharp end for George's brain. 'I would be surprised if he makes another appearance. 'The people who are minding him and looking after his career should be saying to him that in World Cup year, even if he feels 100 per cent better in six weeks, it is not worth risking his chance on the highest stage.' North was immediately knocked unconscious following the contact during Northampton's win over Wasps . The Northampton and Wales winger is treated by medical staff before leaving the field on a stretcher . North missed Wales' win over South Africa last autumn after being concussed against New Zealand and was given three weeks off in February after the outcry over the way his double head knock against England was handled. A Northampton statement read: 'After the game George North was conscious and in the Saints' changing room with the rest of the team. He has been into the club for treatment and will continue to be monitored by the Saints' experienced medical team throughout the weekend. 'As with everyone in the squad, Northampton Saints places the highest importance on player welfare, and as such North will see a specialist early next week for an assessment.' England full back Mike Brown, rested for a month during the Six Nations after being knocked out against Italy on February 14, missed Harlequins' Wembley clash with Saracens after experiencing further concussion-related symptoms in recent days. Earlier this week former Wales international Jonathan Davies said he feared for Leigh Halfpenny's career if the full back did not improve a tackling technique that contributed to him being concussed in his side's final Six Nations win over Italy. The North and Brown cases have again raised questions over rugby's return-to-play protocols, which can permit concussed players to play again within six days if they are shown to be symptom free. In professional boxing, a sport with a concussion rate comparable to professional rugby's, any fighter who loses consciousness for less than a minute faces a mandatory 90 day stand down. A loss of consciousness of more than a minute leads to an enforced 180 day rest period. North was also knocked out twice during Wales' Six Nations defeat by England earlier this year . The winger played on that day but missed the next match as Wales medics were criticised for their decision . | George North has been told not to play again this season after suffering a third concussion in four months against Wasps .

Education Nicky Morgan has also publicly criticised the move, recently saying it was ‘in danger of holding back the next generation of scientists.’ But Ofqual has insisted that the change will ‘liberate’ teachers from repetitive practicals and offer more variety to pupils. Under the proposals, there will be no separate exam specifically covering the lab work students have done, but instead there will be written exam questions that will draw on what students have learnt. This will count for at least 15 per cent of the total marks available. Each exam board offering science GCSEs will have to specify a minimum number of practical experiments a pupil must take part in and this number will be no less than eight in each individual science and 16 for combined science courses. The move means that practical science will no longer be assessed through ‘controlled assessment’ - a type of coursework completed in the classroom. Education Nicky Morgan has criticised the move, saying it was ‘in danger of holding back the next generation of scientists’ Schools will also have to confirm that students have completed a range of experiments and each pupil will have to keep a record of their work. Ofqual chief Glenys Stacey said: ‘There is unanimous agreement among scientists that practical work is central to good science qualifications. ‘We have consulted widely and have identified a new approach to the assessment of practical science that will liberate teachers to offer a wider variety of classroom experimentation and promote effective student progression to further study or employment.’ A document on the plans says that students who do not do practical work will still be able to achieve science GCSEs, but insists that these young people ‘are likely to find it challenging to achieve the highest grades without having the relevant practical experience’. Confirmation of the changes comes in the wake of strong opposition to a similar overhaul of A-level science. Morgan’s criticism will be the first major test of Ofqual’s independence after it was set up in 2010 as a non-ministerial government department. Mrs Morgan said in a letter to Ofqual yesterday that while she appreciated the ‘reasoning’, she still harboured reservations. She wrote: ‘I continue to share the concerns of many in the science community that not having an assessment of practicals as part of the GCSE risks undermining the teaching of practicals in schools. ‘It is important you take all possible steps to mitigate that risk.’ She called for the situation to be monitored to ensure that pupils are still undertaking a range of practical activities. She added: ‘I would also expect – as I am sure you are planning – arrangements to be put in place to evaluate the impact of the approach when it is implemented in schools: with a commitment to revisit the decision if the evidence shows the approach to have had a detrimental effect.’ | Pupils will no longer have practical work assessed through coursework .

Pleaese give me a short list of the main characteristics of cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's playing style. | Tendulkar is cross-dominant: he bats, bowls and throws with his right hand, but writes with his left hand. He also practices left-handed throws at the nets on a regular basis. Cricinfo columnist Sambit Bal has described him as the "most wholesome batsman of his time". His batting is based on complete balance and poise while limiting unnecessary movements and flourishes. He appears to show little preference for the slow and low wickets which are typical in India, and has scored many centuries on the hard, bouncy pitches in South Africa and Australia. He is known for his unique punch style of hitting the ball over square. He is also renowned for his picture-perfect straight drive, often completed with no follow-through. The straight drive is often said to be his favourite shot. In 2008, Sunil Gavaskar, in an article he wrote in the AFP, remarked that "it is hard to imagine any player in the history of the game who combines classical technique with raw aggression like the little champion does". Equipment-wise, his bats tend to be heavier than the average batman. | Cross-dominant

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)The BBC's director-general, Tony Hall, has allegedly received death threats days after "Top Gear" host Jeremy Clarkson was dropped. "Police in Westminster are investigating an allegation of threats to kill," the Metropolitan Police confirmed to CNN in a statement. The allegation was reported to the police on Wednesday. "The threat was made by email," the police added. "The content of the message suggests (it was sent) from outside the UK." The alleged threats come shortly after Hall took the decision to dismiss popular presenter Clarkson from "Top Gear," one of the most-watched television shows in the world. "Top Gear" was suspended March 10 after an apparent altercation between the motor show host and producer Oisin Tymon on March 4. At the time, the BBC issued a statement saying that there had been a "fracas" between the host and a BBC producer. More than 1 million fans of Clarkson and "Top Gear" signed a petition to reinstate the host. The document was delivered to the BBC's headquarters by a fan dressed as the "Stig" -- the incognito racing car test-driver who appeared regularly on the show -- driving an armored tank. On Wednesday, the British broadcaster announced that it would not be renewing Clarkson's contract as host of "Top Gear" after he allegedly busted his producer's lip and hurled verbal abuse at him. Hall issued a statement online following the decision. "It is with great regret that I have told Jeremy Clarkson today that the BBC will not be renewing his contract," he announced. "It is not a decision I have taken lightly. I have done so only after a very careful consideration of the facts and after personally meeting both Jeremy and Oisin Tymon." Placing emphasis on Clarkson's legacy, Hall added that the BBC will be looking into a new host for "Top Gear" in 2016. "This will be a big challenge and there is no point in pretending otherwise," he said. Inquiries are ongoing to establish where the threat came from, the police said.

The Barclays Premier League derby between the two clubs at Villa Park on Tuesday ended in a 2-1 victory for the hosts after a stoppage-time error from Ben Foster saw the Baggies and England shot-stopper give away a penalty that was converted by Christian Benteke. Pulis spoke up for Foster - who has kept six clean sheets in all competitions since the Welshman took over at Albion - after the game. Ben Foster is not guaranteed to keep his place against Aston Villa in the FA Cup quarter-finals . Foster brought down Matthew Lowton to concede a penalty against Villa in Premier League clash on Tuesday . Christian Benteke scored from the spot to give their midlands rivals a late victory at Villa Park . And while refusing to say outright whether or not the 31-year-old would keep his place at the weekend, the head coach once again had praise for Foster at his press conference on Thursday to preview the cup tie. Asked about his goalkeeper selection for Saturday's game, Pulis said: 'I'll be telling the goalkeepers first before I tell you! 'Boaz Myhill has had an injury with a finger, which we have to take into account. 'With the number of clean sheets he has kept (12 overall this season), Ben has been absolutely fantastic. 'Everybody makes mistakes. Goalkeepers get highlighted, like referees, because it can cost you games.'

It appeared Hutton was lucky not to have been sent off by referee Jonathan Moss. And while Pulis was keen on Thursday to avoid hitting out at the official for not doing so, he did once again express his desire for there to be a referral system for managers during games where they get 'two calls' each, something he has spoken about in the past. 'I've seen the challenge back,' said Pulis. Alan Hutton appeared to raise his studs into Berahino's leg during Aston Villa's win over West Brom .

'Jon didn't cost us the game on Tuesday, we cost ourselves the game. 'People make good decisions and bad decisions and you have to accept it - but I'm sure he'll look back at it and maybe will analyse it differently to how he did on the night.' He then added: 'I would have two calls during a game, where managers can call things back. 'You could put advertising on the big screens (at the same time) - the clubs could make some money from it. Pulis has labelled the alleged spitting incident involving Jonny Evans (left) and Papiss Cisse as 'disgusting' 'And it gives a chance to the officials to get right decisions that could be big. They, FIFA and UEFA, have to accept that referees do make mistakes.' Pulis also made his feelings clear about spitting following Wednesday night's incident involving Manchester United defender Jonny Evans and Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse. 'It is disgusting and disgraceful,' Pulis said. 'Spitting should never be anywhere near our game. It should be dealt with.'

What is game of Cricket? | Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at one of the wickets with the bat and then running between the wickets, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this (by preventing the ball from leaving the field, and getting the ball to either wicket) and dismiss each batter (so they are "out"). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side either catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground, or hitting a wicket with the ball before a batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket. When ten batters have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee in international matches. They communicate with two off-field scorers who record the match's statistical information. | Cricket is a game played using a bat and a ball, with 11 players in each team. The surface in the centre of cricket filed is called Pitch which is 22 yards long. The batting starts with 2 player on the pitch, a batter and runner. Bowling side chooses a baller and rest of the 10 players are spread across the filed to catch the ball. Once ten batters from batting side are dismissed, the other sides gets opportunity to bat. The runs are scored by running between each end of the wicket and hitting the ball outside the boundary lines of the filed. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Boston (CNN)Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's attorney made one thing clear during her opening statement in the Boston Marathon bombing trial: He did it. "It was him," defense attorney Judy Clarke told jurors. Tsarnaev carried one of the pressure cooker bombs on April 15, 2013, and placed it near the finish line, she said. He was there when a police officer was killed. He was involved in a shootout with police. The accused bomber will not sidestep any of his actions, Clarke said. So, why even a trial at all? Because there's disagreement over why Tsarnaev did it, Clarke said. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was influenced by his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Clarke said. He was enlisted by his brother to commit these horrific acts, she said. The first day of the trial provided jurors with a peek at the strategies of the prosecution and defense. Based on their opening statements, both sides agree on the basic facts around the attacks -- who carried them out and how. But both sides presented divergent views of why Dzhokhar Tsarnaev carried out the attacks. The goal of the Tsarnaev brothers was to kill as many people as possible, U.S. prosecutor Bill Weinreb said during his initial statement to jurors. The prosecutor described in detail the deaths of three victims near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon and painted a picture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as a holy warrior committed to violence. More than 260 others were maimed or injured by two pressure cooker bombs that exploded within 12 seconds of each other. A fourth person, an MIT police officer, was ambushed and killed in his patrol car three days after the bombings as Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, allegedly ran from police. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed after a gunbattle with police. So it is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev who is on trial, charged with 30 counts related to the bombings. Weinreb said Tsarnaev's actions after the bombings -- going to Whole Foods to buy a gallon of milk, hanging out with friends -- show that he didn't care about what he did. To the contrary, the prosecutor told jurors, he believed he had done good. The motive for the attacks can be found in the boat that ultimately became Tsarnaev's hideout before his arrest, he said. There, Tsarnaev allegedly wrote messages explaining that he believed the U.S. government is an enemy of Islam. Boston Marathon bombing timeline . Tsarnaev listened to jihadist lectures and songs, and had an online presence in which he espoused a radical view of Islam, Weinreb said. He had a collection of magazines published by al Qaeda, one with instructions for building the same type of bomb used in the Boston Marathon attack, he said. The defense pinned the radicalization on Tamerlan. Clarke showed two side-by-side photos in court: One of the brothers smiling, and one of them carrying backpacks linked to the attacks. The attacks were "incomprehensible, they're inexcusable," she said, but also asked, who turned Tsarnaev from the smiling kid into a bomber? It was Tamerlan who self-radicalized, and Tamerlan who influenced his brother to follow him, she argued. At the outset of the trial, Weinreb spoke in detail to the jury about the lives ended by the pair of bombs at the marathon. Martin Richard, an 8-year-old spectator, was standing with his family cheering runners on when the second bomb exploded just feet away. Martin was only 4 feet 5 inches tall and weighed 70 pounds, the prosecutor said. The bomb blew large holes into the boy's chest and organs -- "tore large chunks of flesh out of Martin's body," Weinreb said. The boy died. The first witness the prosecution called Wednesday was Thomas Grilk, executive director of the Boston Athletic Association. Grilk provided some facts about the marathon, but Assistant U.S. Attorney Aloke Chakravarty also asked him to talk about the day of the bombings. The prosecution played videos of the first explosion, then the second, showing people scrambling in the aftermath. Grilk let out a long sigh as one of the videos was paused. "Every day you walk outside, you are in that area," testified Shane O'Hara, the manager at Marathon Sports, a running store close to where the bombs went off. He was emotional as he vividly recounted what sounded to him like a loud cannon, and the instant cloud of smoke that covered the windows. O'Hara recalled stepping outside to the smell of gunpowder and burning hair, and cries for help. The decisions about who to aid first -- those among the injured needing help before others -- still haunt him, he said. There were cries, sirens and screams, he said in answer to prosecutors' questions. He sniffled as a photo of the blown-out storefront was shown in the court. He told the jury the plea he heard from one of the injured: "Stay with me, stay with me." Wednesday's testimony centered on the stories of the survivors. Tsarnaev's lawyers opted not to cross-examine any of the witnesses who testified to what they lived through that day. Colton Kilgore and Rebekah Gregory were part of a large group who were present to cheer on a family member. Kilgore took the witness stand and described the videos he shot after the blasts. It was an instinct to record the scene, he said. "I was blown through the air. There was a deafening explosion," he said. He saw bodies and faces also tumble through the air. His videos captured the chaos, the cries for help, people using any material they could find to help perform first aid. At one point, Kilgore recalled, he sat on something hot, only to realize he was sitting on pieces of burning metal and shards. Gregory testified that she was watching the race, but also looking after her 5-year-old, Noah, who was a bit bored. After the blast, she couldn't feel her legs. "My bones were literally laying next to me on the sidewalk," she said. "At that point I thought that was the day I would die." Her first instinct was for Noah's safety. She asked God to take her if she was indeed dying, but to let her know that Noah was OK. Somehow, she said, despite the confusion and her pain, she could hear his voice calling her. Noah was injured. Gregory now wears a prosthesis. Sydney Corcoran was a high school senior on the day of the bombings. Her testimony centered on her near certainty that she would die that day. She passed out and awoke to a group of men attending to her, putting pressure on her leg, trying to find where she was bleeding. One man put his forehead on her head and told her she would be OK. But then, another man said he could see her eyes were going white, she testified. "I could feel my body going tingly and I was getting increasingly cold. I knew I was dying," she told the jury. It took nearly two months of juror interviews -- 256 people over 22 court days -- to select the jury in the bombing trial. The group includes 18 people from across the socioeconomic spectrum, but the group is almost exclusively white. Race has been an issue raised by Tsarnaev's defense during four unsuccessful attempts to move the death penalty trial from Boston. His attorneys argued that the way the court issues jury summons led to picking a panel that's older and whiter than the community at large. But prosecutors argued that the jury had been picked properly. "The prosecution got exactly what they wanted," said CNN legal analyst Mark Geragos, a criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles. Middle-aged white jurors tend to be more likely to support death penalty verdicts, he said. "It's a target demographic for a death penalty jury." Just one juror seemed to combine youth and ethnic diversity. A college student who is taking a break from his studies, he said his mother was born in Iran and converted from Islam to the Baha'i faith. The Slip Away, a boat in which Tsarnaev sought cover after the police gunbattle, also is expected to be a key piece of evidence. The prosecution is seeking to remove a panel on which Tsarnaev allegedly scrawled incriminating messages so jurors can see it. Weinreb has said the boat is too large to bring into the courthouse. The defense, however, wants the jury to see the entire boat, complete with bullet holes. Defense attorney David Bruck argued that cutting out a panel would take the written words out of context and wouldn't fairly reflect Tsarnaev's state of mind. Court papers have already given the public a glimpse of several statements Tsarnaev allegedly wrote inside the boat: . "The U.S. government is killing our innocent civilians," he allegedly wrote. "I can't stand to see such evil go unpunished." "We Muslims are one body. You hurt one, you hurt us all." "Now I don't like killing innocent people. It is forbidden in Islam but due to said (unintelligible) it is allowed." "Stop killing our innocent people and we will stop."

The annual Texcoco Horse Fair, which takes places on the eastern fringes of Mexico City, will see 16 nightly bouts of cockfighting over the space of a month – all of which end in the death of one of the animals. Trainers from all over the country compete not only for the title of best trainer, but also to keep alive what they claim is a proud Mexican tradition despite demands to ban the 'disgusting' sport.

Trainers from all over the country compete not only for the title of best trainer, but also to keep alive what they claim is a proud Mexican tradition - even though the 'sport' has been met with furious protests . 'Cockfighting is deeply embedded in Mexico's rural culture', Texcoco tourism spokeswoman Rosalinda Benitez told MailOnline on the opening night of the month-long bloodsport bonanza. 'We want to showcase the proud tradition to our visitors'. The event, which includes fairground attractions and one of Mexico's biggest horse auctions, expects to receive more than 600,000 visitors over the month. 'Banning these events will never be accepted by the public', said Jaime Rodriguez, a Texcoco resident who looks forward to the annual fair every year. 'This year they want to make clear how much the people love to come and watch quality cockfights'. While cockfighting is banned in all 50 US states and Europe (it was banned in England in 1835), it nevertheless draws big crowds in Mexico, where fans come to gamble on the fights and drink until the early hours of the morning. Male birds are vicious and often emerge from the scuffles with their beaks filled with other's feathers .

Cockfighting is also banned within the limits of Mexico City, four cities in the state of Veracruz and Coahuila state on the Texas border, but the bloodsport is nevertheless extremely popular in more rural areas of the country. Indeed the cockfighting arenas, known as palenques, are often the social hubs of many Mexican towns. 'Cockfighting is a family business', said Gregory Castillo, a gamecock trainer from Ranchito Gaby, one of the eight gamecock-producing ranches competing on the fair's opening night. 'We get a good reception wherever we perform and people always come out to witness the spectacle. It always produces a good party atmosphere'. Gregory had already seen two of his prize gamecocks die against superior opponents that evening, and was engaged in strapping the curved razorblade of Mexican cockfighting regulation onto the left leg of his third bird. 'The razorblades make for more interesting fights', he told the MailOnline as he spat on the rooster's head, a common technique to anger the bird before it enters the battle. 'We train our animals to attack with their legs and feet first, and use the beak to finish the job later'. The cuurved weapons attached to the birds' legs must be changed every five minutes in order to ensure they are not left blunted by the sand of the arena . Spatters of blood cover the floor of the cockfighting ring, surrounded by fans enjoying drinks and snacks . The cocks often scrap furiously on the floor of the arena, which is covered in blood from previous fights . 'Banning these events will never be accepted by the public', according to Jaime Rodriguez, a Texcoco resident who looks forward to the annual fair every year . The cockfighting areana, known as a palenque, in Texcoco has a capacity of more than 3,000 people, and few seats were left unsold as the public clamoured to see the opening event of the month-long celebration . The weapons attached to the birds' legs must be changed every five minutes in order to ensure they are not left blunted by the sand of the arena. 'It's a disgusting practice and there's no reason that it should continue simply because it's seen as tradition', said Leonora Esquivel, a leader of the AnimaNaturalis animal rights organisation, in a telephone interview with the MailOnline. Leonora's organisation, which works closely with Mexico's Ecologist Green Party, is currently petitioning the government to put an end to animal cruelty in the country. The group focuses particularly on bullfights, cockfighting and illegal dogfights which occur periodically around the capital. Each cockfight runs for a maximum of 15 minutes, though most are over within two. Starting on the edge of the arena, the gamecocks are shown to one another, producing aggressive crowing, before being placed in their respective corners and let loose to attack one another. The flurry of feathers, beaks and claws is rapid and furious. The male birds are extremely vicious and often emerge from the scuffles with their beaks filled with other's feathers. Even if a bird is injured and not attempting to fight any longer, it is permitted only a 15 second recovery period before being placed within a yard of its opponent and forced to continue. The flurry of feathers, beaks and claws, when it comes, is rapid and furious and fights are always to-the-death . The sport revolves entirely around gambling, and betting odds are always 2:1 on the fight's outcome . 'Sometimes it comes down to luck. A weak bird might land a fatal blow with the razor and it's all over' A fight is declared over only when one of the birds is lying dead on the arena floor. The sport revolves entirely around gambling, and betting odds are always 2:1 on the fight's outcome. The gamecocks are displayed to the gamblers by being paraded around the circular arena, before being placed in front of a non-competitor mona ('monkey') gamecock to allow the gamblers to gauge their reactions. 'The more aggressively they peck, scratch and display their neck feathers at the mona, the more likely it is that they will be a good fighter', said Mauricio Alvarez, an observer in the crowd who had quadrupled his money over the previous two fights. 'But sometimes it comes completely down to luck. A weak bird might land a fatal blow with the razor and it's all over'. Bookmakers patrol the circular arena taking bets whenever a fight is not in progress. The high-rollers are always invited to seats within five rows of the arena and bookies' fees are negotiated depending on the size of the bets. The month-long Texcoco Horse Fair also features bullfighting and attracts more than 600,000 visitors a year . The facade of the main cathedral building in Texcoco (left). Mexico's national sport, charreria, is a kind of rodeo made up of different equestrian competitions and is also practiced at the fair (right) Cockfighting is banned within the limits of Mexico City, four cities in the state of Veracruz and Coahuila state on the Texas border, but is permitted in Texcoco, on the outskirts of the capital . For people further back in the stands, tennis balls with slits in them are thrown back and forth between gamblers and bookmakers: stuffed with stakes, winnings and losses. The palenque in Texcoco has a capacity of more than 3,000 people, and few seats were left unsold as the public clamoured to see the opening event of the month-long celebration. Following 16 cockfights, each ending with the bloodied loser unceremoniously dumped in a cement bucket, one of Mexico's most famous bands 'Los Angeles Azules' (The Blue Angels) took the animals' place to play to a packed house. The fair will culminate with three shows by Luis Miguel, one of Latin America's most famous artists and a Michael Bublé-esque crooner, from April 9 to 11. All the shows will follow directly on from the cockfights. In December of last year animal rights activists achieved a nationwide ban on the use of wild animals in circuses, imposing fines of up to £180,000 on organisations which cannot prove the domestic origins of any animals which are used in their performances. The Mexican government is currently engaged in the struggle to find homes for more than 2,000 repossessed tigers, lions, elephants and other such animals which have been freed as a result of the law. International supermarket chain WalMart was in trouble late last year as shoppers complained that a store in Veracruz state hosted a cockfight in order to promote a soft drinks company. | Annual Texcoco Horse Fair takes places on eastern fringes of Mexico City .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)The Rev. Fred Craddock, the pulpit giant who was "like no other preacher you have ever heard," has died, his church announced. Craddock, who redefined the art of preaching, died Friday in Blue Ridge, Georgia. The cause has not been disclosed. The 86-year-old had been in declining health due to Parkinson's disease in recent years, according to the United Methodist Reporter. "Fred Craddock was a national treasure and a devoted servant of the church and Jesus Christ. His impact on preaching -- in terms both of scholarship and practice -- is incalculable," said the Rev. Thomas Long, a friend and a pastor at Emory University's Candler School of Theology. Craddock faces his toughest convert . Preachers studied classic Craddock sermons such as "Have You Heard John Preach?" and "Grace and Disgrace," much like aspiring jazz musicians listened to saxophonist John Coltrane and amateur boxers studied tapes of Sugar Ray Robinson -- for clues to greatness and inspiration. Craddock elevated preaching to an art. He was often called a preaching genius. Rather than deliver a sermon like a lecture -- an intro, three main points and a conclusion -- he developed an "inductive" conversational style of preaching. His sermons unfolded like a short story -- there was foreshadowing, plot twists, dialogue; language of startling beauty and surprise endings. The way he ended his sermons was as memorable as what he said. He would abruptly stop, turn from the pulpit, and quietly sit as the audience sat in silence. People didn't applaud or shout hallelujah after his sermons. They were too busy absorbing what he had just said. The Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor, an author and world-renowned preacher, once said of Craddock: "He spoke of Kierkegaard as easily as he spoke of the Indianapolis 500. He quoted Kafka as helpfully as Corinthians... but he was also someone who noticed a lot about ordinary human life on earth." Craddock, who taught preaching at the Candler School of Theology until his retirement, was selected as one of the 12 most effective preachers in the English-speaking world in a poll of 341 seminary professors and editors of religious periodicals in 1996. I had a chance to meet Craddock, as well as hear him. I spent several weeks with him in the autumn of 2011 to write a profile about his relationship with his father. He was just as impressive outside the pulpit. He would ease his rotund little body in a wooden chair and share touching stories about growing up poor in the small town of Humboldt, Tennessee, during the Depression with an alcoholic father. He'd talk about the infirmities of old age -- I remember saying with a chuckle that "I should have something" when referring to his bout with Parkinson's because he was getting old. He was funny, folksy, witty and his eyes danced with glee when he told a story. Sitting in Craddock's presence was like listening to a wise uncle or grandmother. He had courtly, Southern manners, and he gave the impression that he had all the time in the world for you. I never once heard him criticize anyone. It's not uncommon to meet great people who, to borrow a phrase that Craddock used, have "domestic wreckage" at home. But the Craddock family was among his biggest fans. He was married to his high school sweetheart, Nettie, for more than 50 years, and they had two children, Laura and John. Laura named her son after her father. And John, who became a CEO instead of a pastor, said his father was the most remarkable man he knew. "I don't care if it's a guy on the street asking for a dollar or the president of the United States, he makes you feel as if you're the most important person in the world when he's talking to you," said John Craddock. "I won the lottery as far as great fathers go." Over the years, I kept in contact with him. I'd go to preaching workshops at his beloved Craddock Center, a non-profit ministry that served needy children in North Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. The center provides books, hot meals, storytelling and music. Perhaps Craddock saw something of himself in the kids he helped. One thing is certain: He wasn't content to preach compassion. He lived that message. Craddock's funeral will be held at 2 p.m. Monday at Cherry Log Christian Church in Blue Ridge, Georgia.

The ecstasy is Michail Antonio. The powerhouse winger showed improbable runs to glory can be completed with a solo goal to savour as manager Dougie Freedman collected another three points.

Picking up the ball well inside his own half, he turned and galloped. He checked inside Jack Hunt, sped clear of Kari Arnason, cut across Farrend Rawson and unleashed a shot from 25 yards that flew into the bottom corner. There was an inevitability about it all. Eric Lichaj will be credited with the assist but in much the same way a tee might aid a 300-yard drive by Rory McIlroy.

The striker crept behind Kirk Broadfoot and lobbed a finish that goalkeeper Adam Collin got a hand to but in vain. The result extends Freedman’s record to seven wins, two draws, and one defeat since taking over from Stuart Pearce. Brentford, in sixth, are eight points ahead. It seems just too much, but you never know. Rotherham are in a similar predicament at the other end. Steve Evans’ team sit six points above the drop zone.

Evans said: ‘It’s a cruel game, we were the better side in the first half for long spells.’ But the night belonged to Antonio. ‘Every team needs a bit of magic and certainly Michail gives us that,’ said Freedman. He added a thinly veiled call to neighbours Derby, who have not won in five games. ‘Of course the season is finishing too early but we need to make sure we take care of business and keep on winning,’ Freedman said. ‘It’s a fierce competition like I’ve never seen. Teams above us are really panicking. Certain teams that are not too far away from us location-wise.’ Antonio has scored 13 goals since his £1.5 million move from Sheffield Wednesday last summer .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has freed a Saudi diplomat it kidnapped three years ago, Yemeni Foreign Ministry officials told CNN. Tribal leaders involved in negotiations with al Qaeda over the last month handed Abdullah Al Khalidi to Saudi authorities on Monday, two Yemeni government officials said. Unknown gunmen kidnapped Al Khalidi, the Saudi deputy consular, in 2012 as he was leaving his residence in the Mansoora district of Yemen's business capital of Aden. He was later handed over to al Qaeda, where he appeared in al Qaeda video last year pleading to the Saudi government to ensure his safe release. Al Qaeda was demanding a ransom for his release and threatened to kill him if the ransom was not paid. CNN was not able to confirm whether Saudi Arabia or his family paid a ransom in exchange for his release. A Yemeni Foreign Ministry official told CNN that his government was not involved in the negotiations for Al Khalidi's release. "The Yemeni government does not negotiate with terrorists. Ransoms that are paid to terrorists motivates them to conduct more kidnappings," said the official on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to talk to media . The Saudi Interior Ministry announced Monday that Al Khalidi reached Riyadh safely and is undergoing medical checkups. Al Khalidi had been living in Aden for four years when he was kidnapped. Last week, a Frenchwoman working for an international organization was kidnapped, along with her Yemeni translator, in Sanaa. Two four-wheel drive vehicles were used in the kidnapping attempt, according to eyewitnesses. Their whereabouts remain unknown. Kidnappings of foreigners is common in Yemen with tribes or al Qaeda-linked militants often demanding a ransom for their release or using them as a bargaining chip in their dealings with the central government. Al Qaeda is believed to have been behind most of the kidnappings since 2012. Gunmen kidnapped an Iranian diplomat, Ahmed Bakht, in Yemen in 2013, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Bakht was an Iranian national employed within the Iranian Embassy in Yemen and was kidnapped while traveling through the diplomatic quarter in Sanaa when gunmen blocked the road ahead of him and abducted him. | Saudi ministry says diplomat arrived in Riyadh safely and is undergoing medical checkups .

Generate a summary of the text | Militants fighting for the Al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front in Syria have released images showing them posing with American anti-tank missiles captured from Western-backed rebels. The terrorists are seen wearing military fatigues as they pose with deadly American-made BGM-71 TOW missiles in a warehouse in Atarib, a town 15 miles west of the city of Aleppo. The showboating images show the masked militants pointing to America logos on cardboard boxes filled with food and weapons, which were seized when the Western-backed moderate rebel group Harakat Hazm recently disbanded and allowed their headquarters to be overrun with jihadis. The emergence of the photographs comes as Nusra Front militants announced they are considering splitting with Al Qaeda in order to create an antonymous terror organisation that can rival the Islamic State's reign of terror in Syria and Iraq. Showboating: The terrorists are seen wearing military fatigues as they pose with deadly American-made BGM-71 TOW missiles in a warehouse in Atarib, a town 15 miles west of the city of Aleppo . Taunting: The American food and weapon supplies are now in the hands of Al Qaeda-backed terrorists, who used social media to goad the U.S. military . The warehouse in Atarib had been held by members of Harakat Hazm since November but the fall of a nearby former government military base known as Base 46 led to the rebel militia declaring its disbandment last week. The United States military had provided Harakat Hazm with vast shipments of weapons and food supplies in recent months, according to the International Business Times. With the Nusra Front having now seized control of Harakat Hazm-held buildings and territory, these supplies are now in the hands of Al Qaeda-backed terrorists, who used social media to goad the U.S. military. 'Thanks be to God, Allah let the Mujaheddin take these weapons after we fought the traitors [Harakat Hazm],' a Nusra Front-linked Twitter account boasted. 'Tens of American TOW missiles became for the Mujaheddin,' the message added, alongside pictures of militants pointing at the stamped boxes that prove the products are U.S.-made. Vast: The supplies were seized when the Western-backed moderate rebel group Harakat Hazm recently disbanded and allowed their headquarters to be overrun with jihadis . The photographs emerged as Nusra Front leaders announced they are considering cutting their links with Al Qaeda in order to form a new entity backed by Gulf states. Sources within and close to Nusra said that Qatar, which enjoys good relations with the group, is encouraging the terrorists to go ahead with the move, which would boost the militants' funding. The exercise could transform Nusra from a weakened militia group into a force capable of taking on Islamic State at a time when it is under pressure from bombing raids and advances by Kurdish and Iraqi military forces. It could also boost the influence of Qatar and its allies in the campaign to oust Assad, in line with the Gulf state's growing diplomatic ambitions in the region. Qatari officials were not available for comment. Extremists: Nusra Front militants (pictured) announced they are considering splitting with Al Qaeda in order to create an antonymous terror organisation that can rival the Islamic State's reign of terror in Syria and Iraq . Intelligence officials from Gulf states including Qatar have already met Nusra Front's leader Abu Mohamad al-Golani several times in a effort to encourage him to abandon Al Qaeda, sources say. They promised funding once it happens. 'A new entity will see the light soon, which will include Nusra and Jaysh al Muhajereen wel Ansar and other small brigades,' said Muzamjer al-Sham, a prominent jihadi figure who is close to Nusra Front and other Islamist groups in Syria. 'The name of Nusra will be abandoned. It will disengage from Al Qaeda. But not all the Nusra emirs agree and that is why the announcement has been delayed,' said Sham. The Qatari-led bid to rebrand Nusra and to provide it with new support could further complicate the war in Syria as the United States prepares to arm and train non-jihadist rebels to fight Islamic State. Nusra Front is listed as a terrorist group by the U.S. and has been sanctioned by the UN Security Council.

The charge appears to relate to an incident where a number of Tigers players reacted furiously to Alex Bruce being booked by referee Jon Ross for a robust but ultimately fair challenge on Riyad Mahrez.

The issue of players applying pressure to referees came to the fore last week with Chelsea being accused of being over-zealous during their Champions League clash again Paris St Germain. And following the match at the King Power Stadium, Tigers boss Steve Bruce launched a thinly-veiled attack on the Leicester players for their behaviour towards the officials.

'The reason we enjoy the Premier League is its honesty and integrity and if we're going to go down the route of every other league - jumping around and whinging and trying to get people yellow and red cards - for me that's not right.'

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Iraqi forces battling to wrest Tikrit from ISIS are now in control of the city, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said Tuesday on Iraqiya TV. Al-Abadi, who is also the top military commander, said on state television that the city was liberated. While al-Abadi has declared victory in the battle, pockets of fighting continues. Iraqi forces and Shiite militias are taking part in clearing operations. Iraqi forces reached the center of Tikrit and hoisted the nation's flag on top of the Governorate Building, al-Abadi said. Fighting continued on the outskirts of the city, he added. Tikrit had been under ISIS control since June. The push into Tikrit comes days after a series of U.S.-led airstrikes targeted ISIS targets around the city. The airstrikes made it possible for the Iraqi forces to move through the city. Troops reported finding dozens of roadside bombs and booby-trapped buildings as they combed the city. At a Cabinet meeting before he declared Tikrit liberated, al-Abadi was already calling the operation a success. "The success of the Tikrit experiment will be repeated in other areas because of the results it has achieved on the battlefield, on a humanitarian level, protecting civilians as much as possible, in addition to the low casualties amongst our security forces," he said. Iraqi forces have tried multiple times to win back Tikrit since ISIS conquered the city as part of its campaign to amass an expansive Islamic caliphate but failed until now. This operation, however, was the biggest by the Iraqi military so far. "We managed to take (ISIS) by surprise," the Prime Minister said. "And our air force ... in addition to coalition air force, helping Iraqi forces, managed to deal severe blows to ISIS and the enemies of Iraq. And our ground forces with the blood of Iraqis, Iraqis alone with their own blood, were able to liberate this land." The latest push began after al-Abadi ordered Iraqi forces on March 1 to retake Tikrit and Salahuddin province. Militants have been under pressure ever since in the battleground city, which is the birthplace of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and is located about 160 kilometers (100 miles) north of Baghdad. The Iraqi forces were aided by a coalition made up of mostly Shiite militiamen and volunteers. The militia members, estimated to number around 20,000, are backed by Iran. The offensive marked the first very overt participation of Iranian advisers on the front lines. The victory in Tikrit sets the stage for Iraqi forces to take back an even bigger prize: Mosul. Mosul is Iraq's second-biggest city and the site of one of its military's biggest embarrassments, when Iraqi troops dropped their weapons and ran rather than defend their posts last June. A U.S. official said in February that up to 25,000 Iraqi troops plan to return to Mosul in April or May and, ideally, win it back. This comment came days after al-Abadi told the BBC that while there's still work to do, he felt confident Iraqis could recapture the key northern city. CNN's Arwa Damon, Mohammed Tawfeeq, Jason Hanna and Mariano Castillo contributed to this report. | ISIS still has some fighters in Tikrit; joint forces are in clearing operations .

Sarbjit said: 'My role in the family after I got married was to cook and clean, take care of the family, take care of the extended family if they were coming round, cooking and cleaning and then accompanying our mother-in-law to other occasions. She was constantly in charge, and she did rule the house and she would tell us what to do instead of discussing it with us.' When Surjit and Sarbjit both had children, their mother-in-law took over their upbringing as well. Sarbjit recalls: 'There were times where we breastfeeding and she would look at us and she would say, "‘the babies are not happy. Maybe we should put them on the bottle." 'When we were out one day, I rushed home to feed my baby, and the baby was sleeping. I was going to wake her up and feed her, and she said, "oh, I've already fed her." 'That was really shocking for me. I really felt upset thinking, even that right has been taken away from me.' While Sarbjit felt powerless, her sister-in-law Surjit started rebelling against their treatment. She cut her hair, started wearing make-up and made new friends she started going out drinking with. Her husband and mother-in-law started beating her because they said such behaviour brought them shame - but Surjit remained defiant. She then told Sukhdave that she intended to leave him and wanted a divorce. Upon hearing this, Sarbjit said their mother-in-law was enraged and told her, 'your sister will have divorce over my dead body.' Sarbjit didn't realise quite how far Bachan would go to stop her daughter-in-law leaving her son until it was too late. Murderous matriarch: Bachan Athwal was jailed for life in 2007 for her part in Surjit's death . Bachan arranged for Surjit to go to India with her - but the young women never returned from the trip. Sarbjit said her sister-in-law had only gone because Bachan tricked her. She explains: 'My mother-in-law spoke to Surjit and said, "before you have your divorce I want you to come to a family trip to India with me. I didn't want to go on my own, just come with me and meet the family out there. Do your duty as a daughter-in-law and then when you come back you can have your divorce."' When Bachan returned from the two-week trip without Surjit, she and Sukhdave told Surjit's two children that their mother had run away and left them because she didn't love them. Sarbjit knew her sister-in-law would never do such a thing and confronted her mother-in-law. 'I kept saying, "where's Surjit?" She wouldn't speak at first. Then all of a sudden the power came back into her voice and she became that strong dominating woman again. She looked at me and said, "Surjit's been taken care of." 'She told me, "Surjit was driven out in a jeep and Surjit was drugged, strangled and her body was thrown in the river."' Sarbjit was shocked and horrified by the confession but she was too scared to go to the police and tell them what Bachan had told her. She now knew what her mother-in-law was capable of and was scared she or her children could be her next victim. She said: 'My normality was terror. A woman I once called my mum, she was actually a murderer.' For years, Sarbjit continued to live in fear and silence while Surjit's family tried to find out what happened to her. DCI Clive Driscoll, a senior investigator at the Metropolitan Police, took on the case after Surjit was reported missing by her family. But for years the case remained unsolved due to a lack of leads and no body. Sarbjit today, left, and right as a scared young bride forced into an arrange marriage at the age of 19 . It's only when Sarbjit finally realised that she must tell the truth that justice is served. After telling her parents what she knew, they arranged for her to meet DCI Driscoll. With the information Sarbjit supplied, he travelled to Punjab in India to try to find more evidence, advising Sarbjit to sit tight and not let Bachan and Sukdave know the police are on to them. Thanks to the people he met in India, who remembered Surjit's visit, and how her mother-in-law and husband tried to cover their tracks after her disappearance, he is finally able to piece together a picture of what happened to Surjit. He said: 'It is my view that Surjit was tricked into thinking she was going shopping. Along the way she was driven to an area close to the river. There she was strangled. Her gold was removed from her. She was then thrown into the river Ravi.' As the case grew stronger it was reported in the local press that the police had information that would soon lead to arrests. Bachan and Sukdave realise their crime could soon be discovered and Sarbjit could give evidence against them. So they decide to get rid of her too. Sarbjit reveals she was chilled to the bone when her mother-in-law told her, 'we're going to take a trip to India'. The mother has now trained as PCSO as she wants to help others in need . 'I realised that I had to get out,' Sarbjit said she she fled to DCI Driscoll and urged him to arrest Bachan, and Sukhdave right away. In April 2007, the pair, then aged 70 and 43, were found guilty of murder following a long trial at Old Bailey, London, and jailed for life. Sarbjit said: 'After nine years we finally got justice. That felt good.' Now trying to rebuild her own life, Sarbjit lives with her children and has qualified as a PCSO as she wants to help the police stop similar cases happening again. She added: 'I want to set up my own charity and help other victims of similar situations, because I don't want them to go through what I did. 'I want to give the support and courage and help them get their voices to the police and seek justice. I know it's going to take time to get that but I've got to hope I can.'

Generate a summary of the text | Roberto Martinez insisted Everton had to take collective responsibility for their Europa League embarrassment as he defended his team selection. Everton endured a night of humiliation against Dynamo Kiev and tumbled out after a 5-2 defeat (6-4 on aggregate) in the Olympic Stadium. Their performance was stained by defensive mistakes, with Antolin Alcaraz particularly culpable. This was a night comparable to how Everton folded against Dinamo Bucharest (2005) and Benfica (2009) when they also conceded five times. Everton's Ross Barkley and James McCarthy (right) look miserable during the painful defeat . It made Martinez's decision not to start John Stones puzzling but the Everton manager maintained there was only a slight difference between the two teams and it was Kiev's superior finishing that meant they reached the quarter-finals. 'We did make some defensive mistakes but also there was some incredible finishing and sometimes you have to highlight the quality of that,' said Martinez. 'It is only natural and normal from the outside to look back, and I do not regret playing Alcaraz - the defence has been strong in the last two games. Everton's Phil Jagielka, Tim Howard and Leighton Baines look dejected after Dynamo Kiev score their third . 'We conceded only one goal from a corner in the first leg and kept a clean sheet against Newcastle on Sunday, although we did not adapt too well to the pitch. 'But it is a case of the whole team not defending well enough. I do not think it is down to the personnel, but as a team. Dynamo built a lot of momentum with their crowd rather than us being to blame.' Everton got back into the tie when Romelu Lukaku equalised Andrei Yarmolenko's opener but they fell asunder afterwards and Phil Jagielka's late header provided no solace. Martinez, though, was pleased that Everton kept searching for goal. Lukaku and Ross Barkley both look out of sorts as Everton crash out of Europe . 'I am looking at the effort and the way we gave up,' said Martinez. 'We tried everything to stay in the tie but the way it unfolded was down to one team taking most of their chances .

Gareth Barry looks at the ground in disappointment as Everton crashed out of the Europa League . Roberto Martinez and substitute Leon Osman remonstrate with the fourth official Christoph Bornhorst . 'Both teams created a lot of chances and the difference was one team taking them.

What is the study of semiconductors? | Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes, sensors and integrated circuits, and associated passive interconnection technologies. The nonlinear behaviour of active components and their ability to control electron flows makes digital switching possible, and electronics is widely used in information processing, telecommunications, and signal processing. Interconnection technologies such as circuit boards, electronics packaging technology, and other varied forms of communication infrastructure complete circuit functionality and transform the mixed components into a regular working system.
Today, most electronic devices use semiconductor components to perform electron control. The underlying principles that explain how semiconductors work are studied in solid state physics, whereas the design and construction of electronic circuits to solve practical problems are part of electronics engineering. | The underlying principles that explain how semiconductors work are studied in solid state physics. |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Sportsmail takes a look at 10 things we have learned from a weekend of international fixtures and reflects on a selection of interesting rumours from the Football League. 1. Ashley Williams was on Arsenal’s radar for ages before signing a new four-year deal at Swansea last summer, but a move to the Emirates fell through supposedly because he wasn’t considered Champions League quality. The 30-year-old has made a nonsense of that verdict since with his performances for Wales. Brilliant in a defiant defensive display when they gained a 0-0 draw away to Group B favourites Belgium in November, the Welsh captain was again outstanding in the 3-0 win in Israel which put Chris Coleman’s side top of the group. While Gareth Bale grabbed the headlines, Williams was superb at the back. He gave the ball away only twice in 90 minutes – and won it back both times. Ashley Williams (right, pictured with Gareth Bale) was in impressive form during Wales' win against Israel . 2. John Terry is clearly a far more decent bloke than the various unsavoury episodes of his past would suggest. At the age of 34 and with a back that needs constant treatment, Chelsea’s captain could have done with a weekend off after playing all but four of Chelsea’s 45 games so far this season. But he gave up his time to play 45 minutes of Steven Gerrard’s All Star charity game supporting various good causes in the Merseyside area. Terry was also first to agree to play when Stiliyan Petrov ran out a sell-out game in Glasgow 18 months ago to raise funds for Leukaemia research. John Terry, pictured with Mario Balotelli, played 45 minutes of Steven Gerrard's All Star charity match . 3. Nathaniel Clyne might have to rein in some of the attacking instincts that have worked so well for him at Southampton when he’s wearing an England shirt. The 23-year-old is beginning to look like a natural at right back for Roy Hodgson after winning his third cap in the 4-0 win over Lithuania. But Hodgson clearly asked Clyne to keep his position to let opposite full back Leighton Baines do most of the marauding forward. The Everton man played 53 passes in the forward half, nearly twice the number (28) that Clyne did. England ace Nathaniel Clyne may have to keep his position in order to let Leighton Baines maraud forward . 4. Portugal might have gone top of Group I with their 2-1 victory over Serbia but new boss Fernando Santos could do with finding some fresh talent for his squad. Seven of the side that started the game, including Cristiano Ronaldo, were already in their country’s senior squad for Euro 2008. Portugal have failed to significantly freshen up their international squad since Euro 2008 . 5. There must be something about the north London air because if Harry Kane can’t stop scoring goals, the same is true of Olivier Giroud. Arsenal’s centre forward, who has 11 goals from 13 starts for his club since the start of 2015, was on the scoresheet again for France as they beat Denmark 2-0 in a Sunday night friendly. Kane, certain to get his first full England start in Italy after his dramatic 79-second debut goal against Lithuania, has 14 from 14 starts for Spurs since New Year’s Day. Harry Kane and Olivier Giroud flew the flag for north London by scoring for England and France respectively . 6. Andrew Robertson’s return from injury could be a key in helping Hull battle away from the relegation zone in the last two months of the season. The 21-year-old left back, picked up from Dundee United last summer by Steve Bruce for a bargain £2.8million, showed he is back to full match fitness with a dazzling display for Scotland. He played 100 passes in all during the win over Gibraltar, with 93 of them reaching a team-mate – and 49 of them in the attacking half of the field. Hull full back Andrew Roberton impressed against Gibraltar following his return to full match fitness . 7. Notts County say they are going to name a new manager this week with 50-year-old Dutchman Ricardo Moniz, once on Tottenham’s coaching staff, the current bookies’ favourite to get the job. They might be better off forgetting that and sticking with the experienced figure of Paul Hart who stepped up from working with the Academy for a one-off day as caretaker boss against relegation rivals Scunthorpe. The 61-year-old made a dramatic difference, lifting County out of the relegation zone with a 2-2 draw – and only a late Niall Canavan goal stopped him taking all three points. Notts County look set to appoint former Tottenham coach Ricardo Moniz following Shaun Derry's exit . 8. Midfielder Daniel Johnson was the big star when Aston Villa’s youngsters reached the quarter-finals of the NextGen series in 2012, but despite sitting on the bench as an unused sub for a few times could never find a way to the first team when Paul Lambert was in charge. He finally gave up trying to earn a Premier League chance in January and signed for Preston. After scoring in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Fleetwood, he now has six goals in 12 games – and must wonder how he’d have fared if he’d hung on for the Tim Sherwood regime. Daniel Johnson, pictured scoring against Fleetwood, has been in impressive form since leaving Aston Villa . 9. Mark Yates was sacked by Cheltenham in November as punishment for failing to match his achievements of previous seasons when he twice took the tiny club to the League Two play-offs. That worked well. Replacement Paul Buckle has since come and gone too, and the club are now bottom of the table following a 3-0 home defeat by Plymouth. Caretaker Russell Milton is in charge until the summer – but has so far overseen just one win in eight matches. Cheltenham have struggled in League Two since deciding to sack former manager Mark Yates . 10. Signing a goalscorer is the key to success at any level as Grimsby have proven by shaking up the race for promotion from the Vanarama Conference. Paul Hurst’s team looked nowhere near the race until they brought in 6ft 5ins centre forward Ollie Palmer on a loan deal from Mansfield – and haven’t looked back. The 23-year-old got his sixth from nine games in a 2-0 win at Welling that lifted them above Bristol Rovers on goal difference and just a point behind leaders Barnet. Ollie Palmer has scored six goals in nine games since joining Grimsby Town on a loan deal from Mansfield . | Ashley Williams' proposed move to Arsenal fell through in the summer .

Mackay won the FA Cup with Tottenham three times, in 1961, 1962 and 1967 . The sombre mood carried into the game. But with an outside chance of a top-four finish, Spurs tried to breathe life into their season in the seventh minute when Chadli sent a neat volley past Lukasz Fabianski from Danny Rose’s cross. Finally, there was noise emanating from White Hart Lane. That was quickly replaced by a stunned silence after eyes clocked Gomis, all alone, collapsed in the centre circle. Both sets of medical staff sprinted on to attend to the stricken striker. Gomis received five minutes of treatment. Gradually the worried expressions lifted, a clear sign that this wasn’t as serious an incident as that of Fabrice Muamba’s cardiac arrest at White Hart Lane three years ago. The incident only added to the subdued atmosphere, and when Ki Sung-yueng converted from a tight angle in the 18th minute, the decibel levels — but for a small corner of visiting fans — dropped further. Spurs supporters needn’t have worried, though, as Mason and Townsend scored before the hour. They were, though, forced to endure a hairy final five minutes after Gylfi Sigurdsson smashed home a volley in the 88th minute to set up a grandstand finish.

The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at one of the wickets with the bat and then running between the wickets, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this (by preventing the ball from leaving the field, and getting the ball to either wicket) and dismiss each batter (so they are "out"). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side either catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground, or hitting a wicket with the ball before a batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket. When ten batters have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee in international matches.

Durant, who had averaged 25.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 27 games this season, had surgery last month to alleviate soreness in his foot caused by a screw that was inserted in October during a procedure to repair a fracture at the base of his small toe. But after he visited two specialists this past week and held several conference calls with a specialist team, it was determined that the fracture, which had shown significant healing previously, was demonstrating signs of regression. 'The bone graft is the standard procedure for the five to eight percent of Jones fracture surgeries that do not initially have success or experience setbacks sometime within the recovery period,' the Thunder said in a statement. 'While everyone is disappointed that Kevin falls into that group, we are encouraged that the bone graft procedure has historically demonstrated long-term health and stability.' Durant is the NBA's reigning MVP and is a four time NBA scoring champion . Durant is embraced by LeBron James after wining gold at the 2012 Olympics in London . The news comes one week after the team said Durant, 26, had been shut down indefinitely due to problems with his surgically repaired right foot. Durant, a four-time NBA scoring champion who starred on the gold medal-winning U.S. team at the 2012 Olympic Games, had been inching his way toward a return before the team removed him from basketball activities last week. He had been intensifying his on-court workouts from light shooting to 3-on-3 drills even though the soreness from earlier in the season was not resolved. | Oklahoma City Thunder star has been ruled out for rest of the season .

Instead, he is using his monthly allowance of £9 to buy food at the tuck shop, including tins of ‘chakalaka’ - a spicy African vegetable concoction, reported South Africa’sYou magazine. News of the fallen track star’s poisoning fears and dramatic weight loss follows an improvement in his prisoner status, as exclusively revealed by MailOnline last month. Now a category A prisoner, the ‘Blade Runner’ is entitled to the maximum privileges afforded to a convicted inmate, including ‘contact’ visits, the freedom to wear jewellery, pursue a hobby and own a radio. His budget at the tuck shop has also increased, from £6 a month to £9.

Given these paragraphs about Natural hydrogen, what is it? | Natural hydrogen (known as white hydrogen), is naturally occurring molecular hydrogen on or in Earth (as opposed to hydrogen produced in the laboratory or in industry). The name white hydrogen distinguishes it from green hydrogen, which is produced from renewable energy sources, and from grey, brown or black hydrogen, which is obtained from fossil sources or from the electrolysis of water. Natural hydrogen may be renewable, non-polluting and allows for lower cost operation compared to industrial hydrogen. Natural hydrogen has been identified in many source rocks in areas beyond the sedimentary basins where oil companies typically operate.
Origin of natural hydrogen
There are several sources of natural hydrogen:
- degassing of deep hydrogen from the Earth's crust and mantle;
- reaction of water with ultrabasic rocks (serpentinisation);
- contact of water with reducing agents in the Earth's mantle;
- interaction of water with freshly exposed rock surfaces (weathering);
- decomposition of hydroxyl ions in the structure of minerals;
- Natural radiolysis of water;
- decomposition of organic matter;
- biological activity
- Extraction
- Natural hydrogen is extracted from wells, mixed with other gases such as nitrogen or helium.
Several sources have been identified in France. Geologists Alain Prinzhofer and Eric Derville have demonstrated the existence of large reservoirs in a dozen countries, including Mali and the United States. However, their potential remains difficult to assess.
Numerous emanations on the ocean floor have been identified but are difficult to exploit. The discovery of a significant emergence in Russia in 2008 suggests the possibility of extracting native hydrogen in geological environments.
Geology
Natural hydrogen is generated continuously from a variety of natural sources. There are many known hydrogen emergences on mid-ocean ridges. Another of the known reactions, serpentinisation, occurs under the sea floor (in the oceanic crust).
Diagenetic origin (iron oxidation) in the sedimentary basins of cratons, notably in Russia. Other sources are being explored, such as mantle hydrogen, or hydrogen from radiolysis (natural electrolysis) or from bacterial activity. In France, the Alps and Pyrenees are suitable for exploitation. New Caledonia has hyperalkaline sources that show dihydrogen emissions. A large accumulation of natural hydrogen was discovered in Bourakebougou (Mali).
Characteristics
Dihydrogen is very soluble in fresh water, especially at depth (solubility increases with pressure).

Generate a summary of the text | Disgraced Rolf Harris, 84 (pictured with his CBE), has seen his honour annulled at the order of the Queen following his conviction for historic sex abuse . Rolf Harris has finally been stripped of the CBE that was awarded to him by the Queen. The move came eight months after the disgraced former children’s entertainer was jailed for nearly six years for a string of attacks on girls as young as seven. The paedophile, 84, had his honour annulled at the order of the Queen, days after being stripped of his Australian honours. Officials at the Cabinet Office had been accused of dragging their feet over the issue, but sources insisted they had to follow established procedures before removing the gong. An announcement in the London Gazette yesterday stated: ‘The Queen has directed that the appointment of Rolf Harris to be a Commander of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, dated 17 June 2006, shall be cancelled and annulled and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order.’ Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk, who in January raised concerns in the Daily Mail about why Harris still had a CBE, welcomed the news. He said: ‘I am delighted to hear that Rolf Harris has been stripped of his CBE. It is simply unacceptable convicted sex offenders like Rolf Harris should be allowed to make a mockery of our honours system.’ When Harris, who was jailed in July last year for 12 indecent assaults against four girls between 1968 and 1986, was stripped of his Australian honours last week, there was widespread disbelief that he still held his coveted CBE in Britain. It was awarded to him for services to entertainment and the arts, a year after he painted the Queen’s 80th birthday portrait. Scroll down for video . Normal protocol sees honours forfeited where the person is considered to have brought the system into disrepute. A recommendation can be made by the Honours and Appointments Secretariat to the forfeiture committee to revoke an honour if a person has been found guilty of a criminal offence, and the final decision must be approved by the Queen. Harris was first honoured in the late 1960s with an MBE, followed by an OBE a decade later, and a CBE in 2006. During sentencing, Mr Justice Sweeney told him: 'Your reputation lies in ruins. You have been stripped of your honours and you have no one to blame but yourself.' Seven of the 12 counts related to the friend of Harris's daughter Bindi, including one incident when she was 15-years-old when he sexually assaulted her while Bindi slept in the adjacent bed. During his trial, Harris was revealed as a 'Jekyll and Hyde' character who had a dark side to his personality and used his fame to 'mesmerise' underage fans before abusing them with impunity. Scotland Yard said he 'committed many offences in plain sight of people as he thought his celebrity status placed him above the law.' The entertainer's conviction caused widespread revulsion in Australia and Britain, where his television programs were watched by millions of children. The decision by the Honours Forfeiture Committee, published in the London Gazette today (pictured), would have been approved by Prime Minister David Cameron and the Queen before being officially published . All public traces of the entertainer have since been removed from his home town of Bassendean in Western Australia following his convictions, while a plaque outside his childhood home has been demolished. His artworks have also been removed from the council chambers, and his status as a freeman of the city has been revoked. Labour MP Simon Danczuk, who wrote an acclaimed book on the Cyril Smith child sex scandal, was among those who campaigned for the removal of the CBE. He has previously said: 'I find it difficult to understand why it has taken this committee so long. 'A number of paedophiles, of which Rolf Harris is one, have held significant honours, including Jimmy Savile and Cyril Smith. They used their power and cloak of respectability to abuse children.' Last week, Mr Danczuk wrote to Cabinet Secretary Francis Maude asking him for an update on plans to strip Harris of his CBE. He added: 'They have come close to bringing the whole honours system into disrepute, and you would have their honours would have been removed more quickly. 'The Australians acted more quickly against Rolf Harris than we did.' Harris, whose fortune is estimated at £11 million was the second person to be convicted under a wide-ranging police investigation set up in the wake of revelations that the late Jimmy Savile, a fellow BBC star, was a prolific abuser. The former children's entertainer joins the likes of dictators Robert Mugabe and Nicolae Ceausescu and disgraced ex- banker Fred 'the Shred' Goodwin in being stripped of their titles. In January 2012, Mr Gooodwin had his knighthood revoked after he was accused of contributing to the financial crash through his mismanagement of the Royal Bank of Scotland. Honours are usually only removed from people convicted and jailed, but the Cabinet Office said the scale of the RBS disaster - which had to be bailed out to the tune of £45billion by the taxpayer - made the case 'exceptional'. Harris was awarded the CBE in 2006, a year after he painted the Queen's 80th birthday portrait (pictured) In 2008, Mr Mugabe was stripped of his honorary knighthood over his 'abuse of human rights' and 'abject disregard' for democracy, the Foreign Office said. The Queen approved the annulment of Mr Mugabe's knighthood, which was awarded in 1994, on the recommendation of former Foreign Secretary David Miliband. Mr Mugabe was the first foreigner to be stripped of an honorary knighthood since Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu in 1989, the day before his execution by firing squad. In 1979, art historian Anthony Blunt, who was personal adviser to the Queen on art, lost his knighthood after being exposed as a Soviet spy. And in 2007, boxer 'Prince' Naseem Hamed was stripped of his MBE after serving a sentence for dangerous driving. Other recent cases involved a doctor who was struck off following the Bristol Royal Infirmary baby death scandal, a CBE holder who was disqualified from being a company director, and a man who forged the papers that secured him an MBE for 'services to the community'. The forfeiture of a knighthood is a rare event, and in past centuries it could involve a public ceremony of degradation during which the accoutrements of the honour would be stripped from the culprit. This would happen when a knight was found guilty of treachery or treason. In 1468, Sir Ralph Grey was taken to Doncaster where, being found guilty of treason, his 'gold spurs were hewn from his heels while his sword and all his armour were broken'. What is believed to be the last public degradation was in 1621 at Westminster Hall, when Sir Francis Mitchell was found guilty of 'grievous exactions' and had his spurs broken and thrown away, his belt cut and his sword broken over his head. Finally, he was pronounced to be 'no longer a Knight but Knave'. More recently, Sir Roger Casement had his knighthood cancelled during the First World War for treason. He was executed after trying to enlist Germany's help in the Irish independence movement. Count 1: Indecent assault between 5/4/80 and 4/4/81 on girl aged 15 .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | New York (CNN)Cardinal Edward Egan, who led the Archdiocese of New York for nearly a decade, died Thursday at 82, the archdiocese announced. Egan was pronounced dead of a heart attack at NYU Langone Medical Center at 2:20 p.m. "Thank God he had a peaceful death, passing away right after lunch today," Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Egan's successor and current archbishop of New York, said in a statement. Egan was appointed archbishop of New York in 2000 and later cardinal in 2001 by Pope John Paul II. Egan retired from the archdiocese in 2009. As the leader of one of the largest Catholic communities in the country, Egan oversaw a growth of more than 200,000 registered parishioners and welcomed Pope Benedict XVI on a visit to New York City in 2008 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of the Diocese of New York. "Cardinal Egan spread love and knowledge, and brought comfort to countless New Yorkers and others across the country and the world who sought his guidance and counsel -- especially in the aftermath of 9/11," said New York Mayor Bill de Blasio in a statement. Egan served previously as the bishop of Bridgeport, Connecticut, from 1988 to 2000, when the diocese was at the center of a child sex abuse scandal. The Bridgeport diocese in 2001 paid $15 million to 26 plaintiffs to settle sexual abuse claims against eight priests. Egan apologized for his involvement in the scandal in a letter read across the New York archdiocese in 2002, though he later retracted that apology in an interview with Connecticut Magazine 10 years later. "I should never have said that," Egan said. "I did say 'If we did anything wrong, I'm sorry,' but I don't think we did anything wrong." Egan was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1932 and was ordained in Rome at the Pontifical North American College in 1957. Funeral arrangements are pending, the archdiocese said.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | A hotel worker whose nose was bitten off on the night of his work Christmas party is having it rebuilt using skin from his face. Christopher Watson, 32, admits he was too drunk to remember on a night out with colleagues in Newcastle upon Tyne on December 23, but insists he was attacked. He is currently recovering from reconstructive surgery as doctors battle to repair his disfigured face using grafts from other parts of his head. But police have shelved the investigation into the alleged attack because he was too drunk to remember who attacked him, and where. Anger: Christopher Watson, 32, claims his nose was bitten off, left and right, during his work Christmas party but is furious after police shelved their investigation because he was too drunk to remember what happened . After checking CCTV at possible locations and hunting for witnesses, officers found nothing so were unable to record the incident as a crime and suggested he may have fallen over. Mr Watson fears the person who attacked him may now never be caught and denies he fell because he had no grazes on his hands, elbows or knees. Now he faces years of surgery to repair his nose, which was so severely damaged people cannot stop staring. Aftermath: Mr Watson says that people keep staring at him because of his injuries . He said: 'It's been awful. People still stare at me wherever I go, in the shop, on the bus, I get people looking at me. 'I just can't get my head around the fact that this has happened to me and I don't know why.' He had been enjoying a Christmas do with his colleagues from Newcastle's Vermont Hotel when the mysterious incident occurred, during the early hours of December 22, 2013. He believes he was attacked near Grey's Monument, outside Fenwick department store, in Newcastle city centre. He said: 'All I can remember is a flash of blue, then the pain of someone biting my nose, I can just remember the excruciating pain. I was delirious, in shock and in pain'. He then went back to the hotel he works in and a friend called an ambulance. When Christopher got to hospital medics told him a piece of his nose, the size of a five pence piece was missing. The hotel maintenance worker has since undergone painful skin grafts, and in December surgeons took skin from another part of his face to rebuild his nose. Last month Christopher went under the knife again for more reconstructive surgery. And he will return to hospital this month to find out what the next stage of his treatment will be. Christopher still believes part of his nose was bitten off. But police say there was not enough evidence to suggest a crime had taken place. 'There is no way I could have got that injury without someone else doing it. The police say I could have tripped or fallen, but I have no other bruises on my knees or hands. And I was wearing my glasses and they didn't break. 'The police have now written it off because I can't remember what happened. I thought it happened outside Fenwick but I can't be sure. They say they checked the CCTV cameras in that area and found nothing. But it could have happened somewhere else.' Mystery: Mr Watson has had surgery twice already after the incident on December 23 - but his memory of the night is hazy, making it hard for police to discover what happened . Northumbria Police has confirmed the incident was investigated but no evidence of an attack could be found. A spokeswoman said: 'We can confirm we received a report from the ambulance service that a man had suffered an injury. Extensive enquiries were carried out but no details of what happened or where could be clarified by the man or the person with him. If any further information is available we would ask people to contact the police.' | Christopher Watson, 32, left with nose injury after work Christmas party .

What's the Moroccan infrastructure ? | According to the Global Competitiveness Report of 2019, Morocco Ranked 32nd in the world in terms of Roads, 16th in Sea, 45th in Air and 64th in Railways. This gives Morocco the best infrastructure rankings in the African continent.
Modern infrastructure development, such as ports, airports, and rail links, is a top government priority. To meet the growing domestic demand, the Moroccan government invested more than $15 billion from 2010 to 2015 in upgrading its basic infrastructure.
Morocco has one of the best road systems on the continent. Over the past 20 years, the government has built approximately 1770 kilometers of modern roads, connecting most major cities via toll expressways. The Moroccan Ministry of Equipment, Transport, Logistics, and Water aims to build an additional 3380 kilometers of expressway and 2100 kilometers of highway by 2030, at an expected cost of $9.6 billion. It focuses on linking the southern provinces, notably the cities of Laayoune and Dakhla to the rest of Morocco.
In 2014, Morocco began the construction of the first high-speed railway system in Africa linking the cities of Tangiers and Casablanca. It was inaugurated in 2018 by the King following over a decade of planning and construction by Moroccan national railway company ONCF. It is the first phase of what is planned to eventually be a 1,500 kilometeres (930 mi) high-speed rail network in Morocco. An extension of the line to Marrakesh is already being planned.
Morocco also has the largest port in Africa and the Mediterranean called Tanger-Med, which is ranked the 18th in the world with a handling capacity of over 9 million containers. It is situated in the Tangiers free economic zone and serves as a logistics hub for Africa and the world. | Morocco has the best infrastructure in Africa.Morocco is ranked 32 in the world in terms of Roads, 16th in Sea , 45th in Air and 64 in Railways.

When was the theory of comparative advantage developed? | In an economic model, agents have a comparative advantage over others in producing a particular good if they can produce that good at a lower relative opportunity cost or autarky price, i.e. at a lower relative marginal cost prior to trade. Comparative advantage describes the economic reality of the work gains from trade for individuals, firms, or nations, which arise from differences in their factor endowments or technological progress. (The absolute advantage, comparing output per time (labor efficiency) or per quantity of input material (monetary efficiency), is generally considered more intuitive, but less accurate — as long as the opportunity costs of producing goods across countries vary, productive trade is possible.)
David Ricardo developed the classical theory of comparative advantage in 1817 to explain why countries engage in international trade even when one country's workers are more efficient at producing every single good than workers in other countries. He demonstrated that if two countries capable of producing two commodities engage in the free market (albeit with the assumption that the capital and labour do not move internationally), then each country will increase its overall consumption by exporting the good for which it has a comparative advantage while importing the other good, provided that there exist differences in labor productivity between both countries. Widely regarded as one of the most powerful yet counter-intuitive insights in economics, Ricardo's theory implies that comparative advantage rather than absolute advantage is responsible for much of international trade. | The classical theory of comparative advantage was developed in 1817 by David Ricardo. |

Given a reference text about Richard Brandon Morris, tell me what when and where he was born as well as the different colleges and universities he attended. | Richard Brandon Morris (July 24, 1904 – March 3, 1989) was an American historian best known for his pioneering work in colonial American legal history and the early history of American labor. In later years, he shifted his research interests to the constitutional, diplomatic, and political history of the American Revolution and the making of the United States Constitution.
Background
Richard Brandon Morris was born on July 24, 1904, in New York City. He attended high school at Towsend Harris Hall in New York City. In 1924, he received a BA degree from City College. In 1925, he received an MA from Columbia University, and in 1930 he received a PhD in history at the university with Evarts Boutell Greene as his dissertation advisor. Morris' dissertation, published by Columbia University Press as Studies in the History of American Law, with Special Reference to the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries (1930), still defines the research agenda for historians working on early American law, though at the time it attracted bitter denunciations from law school practitioners of legal historym, including Julius Goebel, Jr. and Karl Llewellyn, both then Columbia Law School faculty members. | Richard Brandon Morris was born on July 24, 1904.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)The attack on Mark Lippert, the U.S. ambassador to South Korea, allegedly by a knife-wielding Korean progressive activist at a breakfast meeting in Seoul, was a rare and shocking reminder of the ongoing conflict that continues to divide the Korean Peninsula. Despite the ever-present backdrop of inter-Korean tensions, security in downtown Seoul is typically quite relaxed. But on Thursday morning local time, the alleged assailant, who has been tied to Korean nationalist and anti-U.S. protests, reportedly shouted his opposition to annual U.S.-South Korean joint military exercises and called for Korean reunification as he cut the ambassador on the face and hand with a 10-inch knife. This breakfast meeting with Lippert was taking place at a building directly across the street from the U.S. Embassy in Seoul. And the scene was probably not too different from a similar breakfast meeting I attended with the ambassador at a downtown hotel only a week before the attack. Lippert moved freely without a security detail or security screenings at the entrance to the venue, and was accompanied by only one or two embassy staff. Indeed, even since 9/11, it is relatively easy to enter most large buildings in downtown Seoul, and security procedures have been generally perfunctory. In part this is because direct confrontations between South Korean citizens and U.S. government representatives in South Korea have been rare, and violent political attacks are unusual. True, there have been periodic group protests against the U.S. military presence in South Korea or against U.S. policy. But these protests have generally been conducted peacefully, a far cry from the environment of the 1980s, when pro-democracy protesters against a then-authoritarian South Korean government attacked and burned U.S. government facilities. Yet although downtown Seoul has been relatively safe and public security has often been lax, violent attacks on public figures in South Korea are in fact not unprecedented. The attack on Lippert brings to mind a May 2006 attack by a knife-wielding assailant on Park Geun-hye, South Korea's current President, while she was campaigning in local elections in Daejeon. (Her calm demeanor despite receiving a facial laceration contributed to her reputation as a politician and future President who is cool in the midst of a crisis.) The attack on Park wasn't the only time the dangers inherent in South Korea's lax security environment have been exposed: Back in 2008, a lone arsonist burned to the ground Seoul's unguarded Namdaemun, or South Gate, a South Korean cultural treasure. And of course, there is the backdrop of the ongoing inter-Korean confrontation, which plays out within Korean democracy in the form of a bitter confrontation between progressive and conservative factions. There is speculation that some members of South Korea's progressive movement have ties with North Korea, and some of them have allegedly been somewhat willing to foment violence to stir up conflict within South Korean society. Most recently, some members of South Korea's left-leaning United Progressive Party, which had won seats in South Korea's National Assembly, were disbarred and convicted of plotting a violent insurrection, leading to the dissolution of the party itself. And while this hard-core group represents a fringe element within South Korean society, it still remains active in part due to North Korean ideological and financial support. All this said, the overwhelming initial Korean public response to the attack on Lippert has been one of outrage, condemnation and sympathy. Indeed, far from revealing gaps in the U.S.-South Korea alliance or fomenting discord over whether joint military exercises should move forward, the incident is likely to strengthen South Korean feelings of support for the alliance with the United States. Still, the incident also serves as a reminder that even in the most seemingly safe and pro-American environments around the world, there is a risk that some zealous critics of U.S. policy may resort to violence against official U.S. representatives overseas. And that's especially so in regions such as the Korean Peninsula, where longstanding tensions still cast a shadow over security considerations. | Mark Lippert, U.S. ambassador to South Korea, was attacked in Seoul .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | The first video of Mohammed Emwazi - identified last week as ISIS executioner Jihadi John - has emerged . The first footage of ISIS executioner Jihadi John as a shy teenage schoolboy has emerged. The video shows Mohammed Emwazi, identified last week as the Islamist fanatic filmed beheading hostages in Syria, being chosen by a classmate to join in with a game of lunchtime football. The previously-unseen footage was filmed 11 years ago at Qunitin Kynaston Academy, the secondary school in St John's Wood, north London, where Emwazi was educated. The friendly kickabout is the first moving image to have been obtained of Emwazi before he became the ISIS's depraved executioner-in-chief. In the film, obtained by Channel 4 News, the 'football mad' teenager, thought to be around 15 at the time, is the second person to be chosen for the team. One of his fellow pupils can be clearly heard shouting 'Emwazi', beckoning over the future jihadi. But he also appears to be painfully shy, instantly raising his arm to cover his face when he knew the camera was focusing on him. Channel 4 News said Emwazi had been identified in the video by two different people that he knew at the time. The footage, filmed in May 2004, was broadcast this evening, after it emerged that the executioner had dumped two schoolboys on the M1 motorway at gunpoint in revenge for an attack on his brother. According to a former friend of his brother Omar, Emwazi and two bearded associates abducted two gang members in 2008, while he was living on the notorious Mozart estate in west London. After viewing the footage, Diane Foley, the mother of American journalist James Foley, told Jon Snow it was 'frightening' that a 'promising young person who had many gifts' could use his talents for 'such evil'. She said: 'It's very frightening he would end up filled with such hate. That's very disturbing to me that young people would be attracted to such hate?' She added that the fact Jihadi John had been identified did not help to bring her closure. She said: 'If it had not been that young man, then I'm afraid it would have been someone else. I think it's tragic for that young man and his family - it's just so sad and we must do more to protect our young people from the lies that have instilled so much hate and brutality.' Since being identified, Emwazi has emerged as a fun-loving young boy, who adored The Simpsons, Playstation games and eating chips. He was also said to have wanted to become a Premier League star, scoring goals for Manchester United by the age of 30. Scroll down for video . The video shows Emwazi, aged around 15, being chosen by a captain to join the team for a game of football . The footage, which is the first time any moving image has been obtained of Emwazi, was shot in the playground of Qunitin Kynaston Academy, the secondary school in Queen's Park . In a handwritten entry in his primary school yearbook, the Kuwaiti-born British citizen, who moved to the UK aged six, wrote: 'What I want to be when I grow up is a footballer'. The entries showed no sign he would go on to become the world's most wanted man, who is believed to have beheaded a string of hostages in the name of Islam. But, a decade later, Emwazi had shunned British life and was a 'known wolf' to MI5, having already taken the path towards becoming ISIS' most notorious murderer. In a chilling twist, in a school yearbook from when he was 10, Emwazi lists his favourite computer game as shooting game 'Duke Nukem: Time To Kill' and his favourite book as 'How To Kill A Monster' from the popular children's Goosebumps series. He also lists his favourite band as pop group S Club 7, and when asked what he wants to be when he is 30, writes: 'I will be in a football team and scoring a goal.' Emwazi also listed his favourite colour as blue, his favourite animal as a monkey, his favourite cartoon as The Simpsons and chips as his favourite food. Earlier this week, it emerged Emwazi was bullied as a schoolboy at the school in which the film was made. Emwazi, pictured as a schoolboy, was said to have wanted to become a Premier League star, scoring goals for Manchester United by the age of 30 . The terrorist has been on the radar of MI5 since May 2009, when it is thought he tried to reach Somalia to join Islamist terror group al-Shabaab . Former headteacher Jo Shuter told Radio 4's Today programme: 'He had adolescent issues. Particularly at that age, for the boys, it is a time when the hormones start raging, and he had some issues with being bullied which we dealt with. 'By the time he got into the sixth-form he was, to all intents and purposes, a hard-working aspirational young man who went on to the university that he wanted to go to.' After arriving in Britain when he was six years old, the extremist appeared to embrace British life, playing football in the affluent streets of West London while supporting Manchester United. He had moved to Britain in 1993, settling in the north-west London suburbs of Maida Vale and Queens Park. Neighbours recalled a polite, quietly spoken boy who was studious at his Church of England school, where he was the only Muslim pupil in his class. He went to mosque with his family, who spoke Arabic to each other, but wore Western clothing and became popular with his British classmates at St Mary Magdalene Church of England primary school in Maida Vale, West London. The footage was filmed at Quintin Kynaston Academy School in St John's Wood, north London, where Emwazi attended secondary school and was said to have been bullied . He was also described as 'calm and decent' and 'the best employee we ever had' by an IT firm for whom he worked in Kuwait. But, at some point during his lifetime, Emwazi was radicalised and was soon on the radar of MI5. It emerged today that the Home Office could face fresh questions over border controls after it is thought that Emwazi used a well-worn route to leave the UK. The 26-year-old a university graduate from Queen's Park, London, was able to flee to Syria despite being on an MI5 watchlist and being monitored by Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism command. He had been watched by the services since May 2009, when it is thought he tried to reach Somalia to join Islamist terror group al-Shabaab. Emwazi flew to Tanzania with friends apparently on a safari - but was arrested by police upon landing in Dar es Salaam and sent back to Britain. En route he stopped in Amsterdam, where he claimed to have been accused by an MI5 officer of trying to reach Somalia, home of the militant group Al Shabaab. Emwazi claimed to have been harassed and intimidated by security services - and even complained to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. He alleged an agent from MI5 knew 'everything about me; where I lived, what I did, and the people I hanged around with' and claimed the organisation attempted to 'turn' him to work for them. By Arthur Martin for The Daily Mail . The family, who have milked the benefits system for 20 years, went into hiding when their son was identified as Mohammed Emwazi . Jihadi John’s family are being guarded by armed police at a secret location in a security operation costing taxpayers more than £5,000 a day. Officers from Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism command provide round-the-clock protection for the Islamic State killer’s mother, brother and three of his sisters. The family, who have milked the benefits system for 20 years, went into hiding when their son was identified as Mohammed Emwazi. They initially left their £600,000 London flat, where their rent was paid by Westminster Council, and moved into a property nearby. But when Emwazi’s brother, Omar, 21, was spotted by a television crew the family were moved to a hotel where they are living under assumed names. They have been receiving an estimated £40,000 a year in benefits since they sought asylum in Britain in 1993. The family fled Kuwait after the first Gulf War, claiming persecution as they were seen to favour the Iraqi invasion in 1990. But after they were made British citizens Emwazi’s father Jasem, 51, returned to Kuwait – the country he claimed he fled fearing for his life. His daughter Asma, 25, is also there. Meanwhile Emwazi’s mother Ghaneya, brother and three of his sisters continue to drain the public purse of thousands more in protection costs. None are suspected of wrongdoing but police are thought to be questioning them about their contact with Emwazi since he moved to Syria. Tory MP Philip Davies said the public will be angry that the family are receiving such expensive protection, but added that the police are in an ‘impossible position’. They initially left their £600,000 London flat (pictured) where their rent was paid by Westminster Council, and moved into a property nearby . Scotland Yard refused to comment on the family’s whereabouts or security arrangements. Friends of the family said Emwazi’s father moved close relatives into a safe house in Kuwait after his son’s identity was revealed. Last night a former friend of the terrorist said he once kidnapped two boys at gunpoint in retaliation for a gang attack on his brother. Emwazi forced the teenagers into a car and ordered them to strip to their underwear before dumping them on the M1 motorway. The kidnapping was said to be retribution for a vicious attack the previous day when Emwazi and his younger brother Omar were attacked with bricks. Then, when Emwazi’s brother, Omar, 21 (pictured) was spotted by a television crew the family were moved to a hotel where they are living under assumed names . It occurred in 2008 when Emwazi was studying at the University of Westminster – a year before he was quizzed by the security services on suspicion of trying to reach militant training camps in Somalia. The friend, who was 14 at the time, said the attack was sparked by gang rivalries involving two West London estates. ‘There was a big fight,’ he said. ‘[Gang members] threw a brick at my head and broke my arm. Omar was punched in the face a few times and beaten up. ‘The next day Mohammed turned up with two religious guys with beards. They drove round in a car and found these two guys who attacked us, threatened them with a gun, made them take all their clothes off and drove off. They dumped them on the M1.’ | First time Mohammed Emwazi seen on camera since he was unmasked . It shows him being chosen to play football in playground, aged around 15 .

Generate a summary of the text | Phuoc Wagner, three, from Canada who received a life-saving liver transplant from her father, has had her long-awaited homecoming postponed after contracting norovirus. The toddler, who was possibly going to be released this week, remains in hospital as she recovers from the stomach flu. Phuoc and her twin sister Binh, adopted from Vietnam, were both in need of liver transplants because they suffer from Alagille syndrome, a genetic condition. Last month, their father Michael Wagner was able to give a portion of his liver to Phuoc - leaving him with an impossible decision after being a match for both girls, but only able to give the donation to one daughter. Following doctors' suggestions that he give the transplant to Phuoc since she needed it the soonest, they underwent surgery in February.

The girls mother, Johanne, said that they are still waiting on a living donor for Binh as they continue to be patient for Phuoc's return home, according to ABC News. However in good news, reports last month said the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto had received 400 submissions from people offering to be a living donor for Binh. Mrs Wagner wrote on Facebook: 'No homecoming yet - norovirus is keeping Phuoc in hospital. And norovirus in my house as well. Home front needs to be clear before they can come home.' Only a few days ago, she had written of the reunion between the girls, and also her nervous feelings about welcoming Phuoc back after her surgery. Mr Wagner and daughter Phuoc went into surgery on February 10, and five days after the operation, the family posted a video of the moment father and daughter were reunited in Phuoc's hospital room.

In the run-up to the surgery, Mr Wagner said it has been hard for him to accept that he could only help one of his girls (above, Phuoc pictured right, with her mother, left, holding Binh) 'Binh and Phuoc will soon be reunited. Talks of Phuoc's release from hospital this week. Some time spent together before Binh's transplant will be beneficial. Both girls keep asking for each other and the family needs to be reunited,' she wrote. 'It is scary though to welcome her back so soon after transplant. A lot of new stuff to assimilate. Daily nursing visits for weeks to come to administer IV meds and perform bloodwork. 'But most of all, the fear of something going wrong, and quickly. No germs allowed in our household. A lot of quiet time needed to allow for full recovery for both Daddy and Phu-Phu.' Mr Wagner and daughter Phuoc went into surgery on February 10, and five days after the operation, the family posted a video of the moment father and daughter were reunited in Phuoc's hospital room.

'So hard to believe we are hitting the one week mark: it seems like a blur,' Mrs Wagner wrote on Facebook. 'Michael still in hospital, Phuoc still on morphine, and mommy holding on on coffee. Still a fair amount of discomfort for Michael but he managed to visit his little girl two days in a row.' In the run-up to the surgery, Mr Wagner said it has been hard for him to accept that he could only help one of his girls. The Wagners said the girls’ doctor was the one who ultimately decided that Phuoc would get her father’s liver based on medical necessity.

'They were nine pounds at 18 months. So we left the orphanage that day and went to buy two little containers with dragonflies on them and that's what we were going to lay their ashes in if they didn't make it.' Despite the health problems, Mrs Wagner does not regret her decision. She said: 'We look back and we have no regrets. 'We would travel this path all over again.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho no longer feels the need to implement a 'confrontational leadership' style with his players because their season is going largely to plan. The 52-year-old Portuguese returned to Stamford Bridge for his second spell in charge last season but got off to a disappointing start by his own high standards and failed to win any silverware in 2013-14. This season, however, Chelsea have already won the League Cup and boast a six-point advantage over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table with a game in hand. Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has revealed he has ditched his 'confrontational leadership' style . The Portuguese tactician insists he has had no reason to 'provoke' his players during the current campaign . 'This season I don't need confrontational leadership - last season I felt I needed it a few times,' Mourinho told reporters. 'Basically, it's when you are ready to provoke your players to try to create some conflicts with the intention to bring out the best of them. 'In this moment I don't think I need that with this group because things are going in the direction I want.' It has not been all smooth sailing for Mourinho this season, however, as Chelsea were knocked out of the FA Cup by League One (third tier) Bradford City and were eliminated in the last-16 of the Champions League by Paris St Germain. 'Obviously you can say "but you lost in the Champions League", or "you lost against Bradford",' Mourinho said. Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard has matured into a 'great player', according to Mourinho . 'But globally, generally, the way they work, the way they behave, the way they live together, their motivations, their responsibilities, their frustrations, the way they react to the negative moments, the way they react to the positive moments, the absence of complacency, all this is going well. 'So I just need to be present. I don't need to be a big leader, or even try to find strategies as a leader.' Belgian forward Eden Hazard felt the wrath of Mourinho's 'confrontational leadership' style last season after neglecting his defensive duties during Chelsea's Champions League semi-final exit to Atletico Madrid. Hazard, however, has been Chelsea's standout player this season but Mourinho said he is unsure if the 24-year-old's development is down to the criticism he received. 'I don't know if it was that or it was his maturity coming, his level of ambition,' he said. 'I just think that was a natural evolution. 'He wants to be the best, to improve his game, score more goals. I still call him a kid but he's a man. He's a great player.' | Jose Mourinho is happy with the direction his players are going in . Mourinho had to wind his players up to get reaction in previous seasons . The Portuguese tactician has labelled Eden Hazard a 'great player' |
