The screening at Wellington's Embassy Theatre will take place two weeks ahead of the film's release on 14 December.
Oscar-winning Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson said it was fitting to hold the premiere "where the journey began."
Based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit is set 60 years before the Lord Of The Rings trilogy of films.
In An Unexpected Journey, Bilbo Baggins attempts to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from Smaug, the dragon.
The film's cast includes Sherlock's Martin Freeman, who takes on the lead role of Baggins.
Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, Cate Blanchett and Sir Ian McKellen, who all starred in Jackson's Oscar-winning trilogy, also appear in the movie.
British actor Andy Serkis has reprised his motion-capture animated role of Gollum.
The film is split into two parts, with the second instalment - The Hobbit: There And Back Again - due for release in December 2013.
The 3D movies were shot at a rate of 48 frames per second, compared with the industry standard of 24 frames.
Following a preview of unfinished footage at the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas in April, some critics claimed it "looked like a made-for-TV movie".
Jackson admitted: "It does take you a while to get used to," adding, "Ten minutes is sort of marginal, it probably needed a little bit more."
He wrote the screenplay with partner Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens and Mexican director Guillermo del Toro. | The world premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will take place in New Zealand on 28 November. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "18339087"} | 363 | 23 | 0.559722 | 1.418047 | -0.000036 | 1.55 | 15.25 | 0.75 |
The third instalment of the franchise, made £12.6m in the UK, accounting for two out of every three tickets sold, its distributor Lionsgate said.
It just beats The Inbetweeners 2 which made £12.5m when it came out in August.
In the US, Mockingjay made $123m (£79m), a significant drop from last year's instalment, Catching Fire, which took $152m (£100m) on its debut.
The movie adaptations of The Hunger Games, based on the best-selling teen books by Suzanne Collins, have taken more than $1.5bn (£946m) at the worldwide box office.
In the North American box office rundown, Walt Disney's animated action film Big Hero 6 was in second place this weekend, with ticket sales of $20.1m (£12.7m)
Director Christopher Nolan's space adventure Interstellar, which has taken $121m (£77m) since its release at the beginning of November, took $15m (£9.6m) this weekend and was at number three.
Former number ones, comedy Dumb and Dumber To and thriller Gone Girl, rounded out the top five.
Figures for the rest of the UK box office are not due to be released until later this week.
Film company Lionsgate, which has split the final Hunger Games book into two parts, will release the final instalment in 2015.
It was announced earlier this month the best-selling franchise would be made into an "immersive" stage show in summer 2016 to bring Collins' writing "to life". | The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 has scored the biggest debut of the year at the UK and US box office. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "30174710"} | 345 | 30 | 0.581898 | 1.43925 | 0.093848 | 1.458333 | 13.083333 | 0.791667 |
James Forrest's stunning second-half strike in Trondheim sealed a 1-0 victory on aggregate over Rosenborg.
The Scottish champions will face Astana, Qarabag, Rijeka, Hapoel Beer Sheva or Slavia Prague.
"We look forward to anybody we get. On our day, we'll beat anybody. We saw that last season," Griffiths said.
Griffiths, who came on as a substitute in the second half against Rosenborg, praised makeshift striker Forrest for an "outstanding display".
"He showed on Saturday against Sunderland that he deserved his place up front," Griffiths told BBC Scotland. "He did well. The goal went in, he could've had another one if he had dinked the goalie but we got the winner, that's all that matters.
"We've got that big a squad that the manager will be thinking of players to rotate and keep fresh for the Champions League. We've got a massive game Saturday - our league opener [against Hearts] - and we will go and put on a show."

Asked about where he would rate his winner in Norway in career-terms, Forrest said: "I've scored a few but it (the goal) is definitely up there. Last week (the first leg) was a bit frustrating with 0-0 at home, but I thought the boys came out here and we had a good performance.
"To score away from home in Europe and to score the winner - it doesn't get much better.
"To see it go in the back of the net, you can't get anything better. Griff [Leigh Griffiths] came on and did well - I'm just buzzing we got through.
"The way we play, Rosenborg showed us a lot of respect the way they sat back in both games because they know we can hurt teams."
Celtic will be seeded in Friday's play-off round draw and manager Brendan Rodgers is expecting another stern test.
"When the draw comes it's going to be one of those anxious moments again at some point over the two legs," Rodgers said.
"Whoever we get, it will be a tough game but my focus is now on Hearts [in the Premiership on Saturday]."

The hottest name in American comedy, Schumer is nevertheless still something of an unknown quantity in the UK.
That could be about to change with the release of her new movie Trainwreck, which she wrote and Judd Apatow directed.
It's the first time the This is 40 and Knocked Up filmmaker has made a feature film which he has not himself written.
"Judd Apatow reached out to me after hearing me on (US shock jock) Howard Stern a few years ago and he said that he could tell that I could write movies, that I thought visually," she says. "I probably would never have had the confidence to just take it upon myself and write a movie unless he encouraged me.
"Is there a bigger compliment that someone saying I will put my name and a lot of money into you?"
For his part, Apatow has nothing but praise for his leading lady and collaborator: "I heard her on the radio talking about her dad, who has MS and she was telling these really dark stories about what it was like to care for him but they were also really funny and also really warm, you could tell how much she loved her dad.
"I thought she was this really interesting person, she has a side that I haven't seen presented in movies before and I asked her whether she wanted to write a movie."
Before penning Trainwreck, Schumer may have been a newcomer to screenwriting but she had been performing stand up in her native New York clubs since 2004.
Prior to that she graduated from The William Esper studio, an acting school, where she studied for three years.
The comic made her network debut in 2007 when she placed third in on NBC's Last Comic Standing and later co-starred on an episode of the hit comedy 30 Rock.
After years of grafting on the sidelines, she says the sudden shift into stardom has been an eye-opener.
"I know that's how things happen and I'm certainly glad that I haven't had this much exposure before. I don't think anyone's ever really ready for this amount of exposure.
"I won a critics' award the other night and I couldn't be there to accept it. So, one of my writers went and said, 'Amy couldn't be here, she's being treated for over-exposure'. I thought that was really funny.
"But it was never my dream; I was never trying to be here. This is so far beyond anything I ever saw for myself that its overwhelming."
In 2013, Comedy Central premiered Inside Amy Schumer, a mix of sketch, stand-up comedy and on-the-street interviews.
With jokes and observations about sex, work, relationships and gender inequality, the series and the two that followed it, introduced Schumer and her take-no-prisoners attitude to a much wider audience.
Though she has her fans, her jokes about racial stereotypes and race relations have led to some accusations that she has "a blind spot" on race.
She addressed the criticism on Twitter, saying she enjoyed "playing the girl who time to time says the dumbest thing possible, and playing with race is a thing we are not supposed to do, which is what makes it so fun for comics."
Schumer insists she never set out to push the envelope in terms of what she wanted to talk about on stage and in her shows.
"I don't think I ever decided that, it was just what was funny to me. When you start out, you do whatever you can to be on stage so I did a lot of open mics.
"The audience was all comedians and they would sit there with their notebooks and you have to pay to do the show so you have to surprise them or trick them into laughing so that's a skill set I developed early because it was the only way I could get laughs."
In the notoriously male-centric profession of comedy there is little surprise Schumer has faced sexism is all its forms during her time on the road.
"I don't think that I face any more being a comedian," she says. "I think that all women face sexism every day whether it's buying coffee or walking into a grocery store, it's just part of our world. But whenever I'm met with any sexism I call it out."
Sometimes that sexism can come from her frank material.
"The most sexism I've faced is when I get off stage. I talk about sex, right now it makes up about 30% of my act and I'll go on stage after a male comic who maybe talks about sex for 80 percent of his act.
"The booker or promoter will say to me, 'Wow you're not afraid to talk about sex,' but they wouldn't say that to the guy and I would be looked at as easy but the guy wouldn't."
Most recently, Schumer stuck her head above the parapet to address the issue of gun control in the US.
It followed the fatal shooting of two women at a screening of her film in Louisiana. The gunman had a history of mental health issues.
The comedian put laughs aside to appear with her father's cousin, Senator Chuck Schumer, to call for American state authorities to submit information on potential gun buyers to a national database.
She also criticised proposals to slash funding to mental health services.
The gun issue, in particular, puts her in the sights of the powerful US gun lobby, making it something of a David and Goliath battle.
"I think I did understand the gravity of it," she says. "I have so much room for educating myself about this topic, I think the central issue is money, it's about funding. They're trying to take away money from mental health services, it's awful and I really hope that doesn't happen."
The Trainwreck is in UK cinemas now. | From diving at the feet of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian and presenting the MTV movie awards; to appearing as Princess Leia on the cover of GQ magazine and urging stricter gun control laws, Amy Schumer is absolutely everywhere. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "33880242"} | 1,313 | 53 | 0.246015 | 0.751296 | 0.870015 | 0.666667 | 28.357143 | 0.52381 |
Researchers from the University of Amsterdam have created an online game in an attempt to shed light on why some tunes get stuck in your head.
Fans must identify song clips and compare them by their catchiness.
The researchers hope the findings will help the understanding of long-term memory and the treatment for dementia.
Dr Ashley Burgoyne of the University of Amsterdam said: "We do know that music has a very powerful effect on memory, more powerful than many other memory triggers. But the reasons for it aren't completely understood.
"Why is it that there are certain pieces of music that you hear just a couple of times and 10 years later you hear it again, and you may have forgotten the title and the artist, but the music comes back to your immediately?"
Dr Burgoyne said he hoped 10,000 people would play the game, Hooked On Music. The findings from the game would be "one piece of a larger puzzle", he said.
"There's been some very nice research showing that, if you can bring the favourite music of people who are suffering from dementia, it can really re-enliven them. These memories don't seem to fade.
"So if we can have a better understanding of how that process works and identify the features of music that seem to lock [it] into long-term memory, then you can perhaps use that to make better clinical decisions about what music is going to be the most therapeutic."
The game was created and launched with the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester.
The museum's Dr Marieke Navin said: "The idea is that people could be contributing to scientific research. We tried to make it a fun thing that people might want to play irrespective of the science behind it." | Hit songs by Elvis Presley, Abba and The Spice Girls are among those being used in research that hopes to unlock the secrets of how memory works. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "27938794"} | 373 | 33 | 0.486847 | 1.314196 | 0.101789 | 0.655172 | 12.103448 | 0.517241 |
At least four blasts struck the southern Damascus suburb of Sayyida Zeinab, killing at least 83 people, state media said.
Earlier in Homs, 57 people, mainly civilians, were killed in a double car bombing, a monitoring group reported.
So-called Islamic State (IS) said it carried out the attacks in both cities.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State John Kerry has said a "provisional agreement" has been reached with Russia on a partial truce in the conflict.
History of the conflict - how the civil war has spread
Maps of the conflict - the shifting territorial gains
Both of Sunday's attacks targeted areas dominated by minorities within Islam reviled by the Sunni Muslim radicals of IS.
In Damascus, at least four explosions were reported in Sayyida Zeinab, the location of Syria's holiest Shia Muslim shrine, said to contain the grave of the Prophet Muhammad's granddaughter.
The state-run Sana news agency reported at least 83 dead and 178 wounded.
The Amaq news agency, which is linked to Islamic State, said IS militants had detonated a car bomb and then blown up explosive belts.
The district was hit by suicide attacks last month that left 71 people dead and which IS fighters also said they had carried out.
In Homs, the blasts happened in a predominantly Alawite district, the sect to which President Bashar al-Assad belongs.
Syrian state TV footage showed debris and mangled vehicles.
One of the early centres of the uprising against President Assad, Homs was once dubbed the "capital of the revolution".
But rebels left the city late last year under a ceasefire deal, leaving the city in government hands.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group also said that at least 50 Islamic State fighters had been killed in an advance by government troops, backed by Russian air strikes, east of the northern city of Aleppo in the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, Mr Kerry spoke optimistically about progress towards a possible ceasefire.
He had spoken to his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov, he said, and they had agreed on terms but details still needed to be worked out.
Earlier this month, world powers involved in Syria agreed to seek a "cessation of hostilities" but the Friday deadline has come and gone.
For his part, President Assad has said he hopes to be remembered as the man who "saved" Syria.
Asked by Spanish newspaper El Pais where he would see himself in 10 years' time, he said: "If Syria is safe and sound, and I'm the one who saved his country - that's my job now, that's my duty."
Mr Assad also said his army was close to encircling rebel-held parts of Aleppo, and were advancing on Raqqa, the main stronghold of IS fighters.
He said he was ready to implement a temporary truce as long as there were guarantees what he called "terrorists" would not use it to improve their positions.
Separately, Amnesty International has criticised Turkey for refusing entry to some Syrians wounded in the latest fighting, urging it to keep its border open.
Amnesty's crisis response director, Tirana Hassan, said: "Turkey's highly selective practice is appalling - only severely injured people are allowed entry to seek medical treatment while everyone else fleeing the violence is left unprotected." | Bomb blasts in the Syrian cities of Homs and Damascus have left at least 140 people dead, monitors and state media say. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35624654"} | 797 | 33 | 0.432049 | 1.037329 | -0.154346 | 1.166667 | 27.333333 | 0.833333 |
The company's Facebook page was overrun with negative comments after the discount appeared in a paper on Monday.
Owner Marc Watts said he would keep the course open despite receiving threats to burn down the premises.
The discount was reportedly not new and had been running for three years.
An advert for the discount offered by Tumbledown Trails Golf Course featured in the Wisconsin State Journal earlier this week, saying it was intended to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the 2001 attacks in New York that killed nearly 3,000 people.
It said the discount, which also included 18 holes of golf for $19.11, was valid for the anniversary on 11 September only.
Responding to negative comment on the discount, owner Marc Watts apologised on the golf course's Facebook page saying there was no intention to cause offence and pledged to donate some of the day's earnings to the 9/11 memorial in New York.
"We're a little hurt by the fact that people are putting such a negative context on this," Mr Watts said in an interview with the Associated Press news agency. "I thought people would appreciate it."
He added: "We could close, but then all these people with their negative attitudes, they win.'' | The owner of a Wisconsin golf course that advertised nine holes of golf for $9.11 to mark the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks has apologised after a backlash that included death threats. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "24053015"} | 261 | 44 | 0.583309 | 1.544286 | 0.951856 | 2 | 6.828571 | 0.8 |
Two adults and four children in East Ham, east London, had to be treated for carbon monoxide poisoning, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said.
London Ambulance Service (LAS) was called on Wednesday at about 16:20 GMT.
Fire brigade head, Dave Brown, said it was the first incident of its kind he had seen in 28 years.
Mr Brown, head of operations, prevention and response, said: "I have never heard of anybody using a barbecue to dry clothes let alone using one indoors."
He branded the woman's behaviour "dangerous".
LFB said the elderly woman lit the barbecue in the garden of the home in Hockley Avenue and then placed it in the kitchen with the door open.
Source: Health and Safety Executive
She left the house with her four grandchildren, aged between 10 months and four, and two daughters-in-law, aged 26 and 29, inside. Someone then closed the door.
LAS said it responded to reports of people collapsing and the patients were taken to Whipps Cross Hospital. They have since been released.
Mr Brown said: "Never, ever bring a lit or smouldering barbecue indoors.
"Not only is it a serious fire risk but it also emits carbon monoxide which is a poisonous gas that can kill or seriously injure."
Carbon monoxide is produced when fuels such as gas, oil, charcoal, coal and wood do not burn completely.

Adam Price, shadow cabinet secretary for finance and economy, said he was "concerned" the sale process had been suspended.
He said a link-up with ThyssenKrupp could be the "death knell" of the industry and lead to job losses.
The Welsh Government is calling for an urgent meeting with the company.
It is looking to clarify the situation and said it remains willing to help.
Mr Price said the link-up would "likely lead to the closure of the Port Talbot steelworks".
The sale of Tata Steel's UK business is on hold as the company considers a European tie-up, creating further uncertainty for British steelworkers.
Speaking after a board meeting in Mumbai, Tata said it had started talks with "strategic players in the steel industry".
Mr Price said: "I am very concerned at the news of the suspension of the sales process and am deeply disappointed that the Wales-led management and worker buyout will not be able to go to the next stage of the process.
"Merger with the German steelmaker would very likely lead to the closure of the Port Talbot steelworks and the concentration of activity at Ijmuiden, and must be opposed at all costs."
Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns said he was interested to hear the "basis and evidence used to make such bold remarks", adding that the link-up was "encouraging".

Suarez, 26, has been told to train alone after seeking a move away from Anfield throughout the summer.
24 April: Banned for 10 games by the Football Association for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.
29 May: Drops a big hint that he wants to leave Liverpool after saying he finds life in England hard.
12 June: Suarez reiterates his love for Liverpool, but insists life in England is very hard.
8 July: Liverpool turn down a £30m bid from Arsenal.
24 July: Arsenal offer £40,000,001 for Suarez, triggering a clause in his contract.
2 August: Says he will consider a formal transfer request and the possibility of court action if his Liverpool dispute is not resolved.
7 August: Suarez says he wants to leave Liverpool to join a Champions League side.
8 August: Told to train alone by manager Brendan Rodgers, who says the player has shown "total disrespect" for the club.
8 August: Liverpool owner John W Henry insists striker Luis Suarez will not be sold this summer - no matter what the price.
Arsenal have had two bids rejected for the Uruguayan, with Liverpool owner John W Henry saying it would be "ludicrous" to sell to their rivals.
"There will come a point where he'll recognise the club is not going to sell," Rodgers said.
Suarez has agitated for a switch since the end of last season, admitting in May that it would be "difficult to say no" to a move to Real Madrid when speaking to a Uruguayan radio station.
The only official interest in him thus far has come from Arsenal, however, with their latest offer of a pound over £40m being turned down.
That deal had been expected to trigger a release clause in the contract by the player, with Suarez going on to tell the Guardian and Daily Telegraph he had been promised he could leave Liverpool this summer if they did not qualify for the Champions League.
Both Rodgers and Henry have dismissed that assertion.
Speaking ahead of a friendly against Celtic in Dublin on Saturday, the Liverpool manager again reiterated his club's position that there is "no inclination to sell".
"We're quite calm," Rodgers said. "The club is in control of the situation.
"We've got no inclination to sell and we've been strong on that."
Suarez has excelled since arriving at Anfield in January 2011 from Ajax for £22.7m, scoring 51 goals in 96 appearances.
Despite the furore surrounding him, Rodgers was convinced Suarez would continue his excellent form for Liverpool if forced to stay.
"He's a world-class striker. I've got no question that when he's back he'll have a similar impact," the 40-year-old said.
Rodgers also stated Suarez would return to training with his team-mates once his approach improved.
"It's been a difficult period for him but it's my job to protect the group," he said. "Once he's back with the spirit he'll rejoin the group."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reacted to Liverpool's vow that they will not let Suarez leave by stating he will continue his pursuit of the player in "a respectful and amicable way".
"There is nothing to add to what I said already about the transfer of Suarez," he said. "If it will be done, it will be done in a respectful and amicable way with Liverpool.
"I didn't read [Henry's] statements but we'll be faithful to the way we want to behave.
"We are looking at possibilities to strengthen our squad. Suarez is one of the targets. If he's not for sale, he's not for sale.

Patrick Hickey is being held at Bangu 10 Prison over his alleged role in a scheme to sell Olympic tickets for more than their face value.
It was reported that when police arrived at his hotel room Mr Hickey's wife said he had gone home to Ireland.
He was later found in another room in the same hotel.
In a statement, Mr Hickey's lawyer said: "Mr Hickey did not try to escape as informed by police.
"He was sleeping already for two days in one of the three rooms that were allocated to him and his family, due to insomnia, and he did not want to disturb his wife."
His lawyer said claims he tried to escape were "ridiculous" and said his wife had merely "panicked" when faced with Brazillian police.
Mr Hickey denies the allegations against him but has stepped down from all his posts temporarily.
It is thought he will appear in court later this week.

Beverley Finney was struck by Henry Rigby's car as he drove at 40 mph in a 30 mph zone in St Helens, Merseyside.
Liverpool Crown Court heard that along with facial injuries, she been forced to move house, as living near a busy road caused her to have panic attacks.
Rigby was found guilty of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and given a 15-month suspended jail term.
CCTV footage captured the moment Rigby, 19 and of Harris Street in Dentons Green, St Helens, struck Ms Finney and another pedestrian in his Vauxhall Corsa on Haresfinch Road in May 2016.
Merseyside Police said both victims suffered life-threatening injuries.
In a statement to the court, Ms Finney said she still suffered "bad headaches", a "lot of back pain" and "a numbness to the side of the face" as a result of what happened.
She said she had scars around her eye socket and hairline and "may consider" plastic surgery in the future.
"In terms of mentality, I have been affected badly," she said.
"We have had to move house to a property away from a busy road [as] I just couldn't relax with the noise of traffic.
"I would get so distressed with the noise of skidding cars or revving engines."
Rigby was also handed a three-year driving ban, given an order to carry out 240 hours of unpaid work and told to pay £750 compensation to each victim, as well as £500 court costs.

She was John McCain's running mate in 2008 before they lost to Barack Obama.
Despite retiring from politics in favour of a media career, she remains an influential conservative voice.

"We are ready for a change," she told the rally in Ames, Iowa.
"He (Trump) is beholden to no one but 'we, the people'. He is perfectly positioned to let you make America great again."
The New York businessman, who leads the Republican race, said in a statement that he was "proud" to receive her backing.
Ms Palin was a "trusted conservative" with a "proven record of being fiscally modest, staunchly pro-life and [she] believes in small government that allows businesses to grow and freedom to prosper", the statement added.
While the former Alaska governor's reputation has been diminished since the heady days of 2008 - thanks to her absence from public office and involvement in series of questionable reality television shows - she is still well liked by conservative Republicans and nearly universally known.
Her backing could help insulate Mr Trump against charges that he's not a true believer in the cause due to his support for liberal political issues and candidates in the past.
At the very least, she could add even more crowd-drawing power to a Trump campaign that already fills entire sports arenas.

Mrs Palin was just two years into her Alaskan governorship when she was picked by John McCain to be his running mate.
The self-described "hockey mom" soon garnered huge crowds and massive media attention.
After the election in 2009, she resigned as Alaska governor and has since forged a lucrative career as a writer and political commentator.
"How 'bout the rest of us? Right wingin', bitter clingin', proud clingers of our guns, our god, and our religions, our Constitution. Tell us that we're not red enough? Yeah, coming from the establishment. Right."
"Well, Trump, what he's been able to do, which is really ticking people off, which I'm glad about, he's going rogue left and right, man, that's why he's doing so well."
"He is from the private sector, not a politician, can I get a "Hallelujah!"
"Exactly one year from tomorrow... President Obama will be able to look up, and there, over his head, he'll be able to see that shining, towering, Trump tower. Yes, Barack, he built that, and that says a lot."
Ahead of the announcement, Mrs Palin tweeted a link to an article by her daughter Bristol attacking Mr Trump's main rival for the key Iowa caucus, Ted Cruz.
Iowa is the first chance for voters to have their say in the nomination race.
Mr Cruz has himself praised Mrs Palin saying "without her support, I wouldn't be in the Senate" - a reference to her backing that helped him to his surprise victory in a 2012 Senate run-off election.
"Regardless of what she does in 2016, I will always be a big fan," he tweeted.

The Aspar Ducati rider had qualified in 11th position and moved up to eighth place in the race, before dropping down the field in the latter stages.
The Toomebridge man had scored points in all nine previous rounds of this year's series and lies 11th overall.
Italian Andrea Iannone took his maiden victory despite nursing a rib injury.
Iannone's triumph at the Red Bull Ring was the first for Ducati since Casey Stoner won at Phillip Island in 2010.
Iannone hit the front with seven laps remaining and had a 0.938 seconds advantage over Andrea Dovizioso at the chequered flag, with Jorge Lorenzo third, Valentino Rossi fourth and Marc Marquez fifth.
Marquez leads the championship standings on 181 points, followed by Lorenzo on 138, Rossi on 124 and Pedrosa with 105.

The siblings, then aged 10 and 11, carried out the "sadistic" attack in Edlington, near Doncaster, in 2009.
Now aged 18 and 19, the brothers were granted lifelong anonymity by High Court judge Sir Geoffrey Vos.
Outlining his reasons for making the order he said he felt the brothers were "equally committed to rehabilitation".
Sir Geoffrey said the younger brother had made "his own statement" at a hearing on 9 December.
"He fully acknowledged the extreme gravity of his offences, and said compellingly that he now feels inside like a completely different person," said the judge in his ruling.
"He said that, '[it] has taken a long time to get there and I have done loads of work with professionals in secure to work through what I did and why I did it.
"'I now feel like I have become the opposite to that person who did the crimes.
"'I desperately want to carry on being the person I have become. I want to get a job or maybe even go to uni'."
Sir Geoffrey added: "The other evidence before me suggests that [his] ambitions may be genuinely capable of realisation."
He went on: "I have no doubt that [the older brother] is equally committed to the path of rehabilitation."
The brothers' victims, aged nine and 11, were throttled, hit with bricks, made to eat nettles, stripped and forced to sexually abuse each other in the attack.
A sink was dropped on the older boy's head, and the younger boy had a sharp stick rammed into his arm and cigarettes pushed into the wound.
Parts of the attack were recorded on a mobile phone.
The brothers, who admitted causing grievous bodily harm, were sentenced to a minimum of five years' detention in 2010.
They were released earlier this year and given new identities.
Sir Geoffrey said he was satisfied the anonymity order was in the public interest. | One of two teenage brothers who tortured two boys in South Yorkshire told a judge he was now "the opposite of that person who did the crimes". | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "38370089"} | 427 | 33 | 0.492231 | 1.277052 | -0.252792 | 1.9 | 13.2 | 0.7 |
A one-eyed, neo-fascist gangster called Massimo Carminati is accused of having run the criminal network. He will be questioned via a prison video-link.
According to prosecutors, mobsters flourished under Rome's former right-wing mayor Gianni Alemanno.
It was a Mafia-type network, they say.
However, the operation was separate from southern Italy's traditional Mafia activities such as drug-running and extortion, anti-Mafia prosecutor Alfonso Sabella told Reuters news agency.
Forty-six defendants are on trial in the corruption case, which concerns millions of euros allegedly stolen from city hall. The suspects were arrested last December.
Gangsters allegedly conspired with local politicians to siphon off funds intended for migrant and refugee centres, and for rubbish collection in Rome and the surrounding Lazio region.
The politicians on trial include:
Ex-mayor Gianni Alemanno denies wrongdoing. He is under investigation, but is not involved in this trial.
The alleged gang members on trial include two close associates of Mr Carminati - Salvatore Buzzi and Riccardo Brugia.
Like Mr Carminati, Mr Brugia used to be in a violent, outlawed far-right group called NAR (the Armed Revolutionary Nuclei).
NAR members were implicated in the notorious bombing of Bologna train station in 1980, which killed 85 people.
Mr Carminati, in jail in Parma, lost an eye in a shoot-out with police in 1981 while trying to flee to Switzerland.
The trial will move to a court bunker at Rebibbia prison on the outskirts of Rome after the opening session.
It is expected to last until next summer.
Last week, the current mayor of Rome, Ignazio Marino, was forced to resign in an unrelated scandal involving expenses. | One of Italy's biggest organised crime trials in years - dubbed Mafia Capital - has opened in Rome, where councillors and gangsters allegedly stole millions of euros of public cash. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "34732412"} | 452 | 48 | 0.546427 | 1.292277 | 0.264528 | 0.939394 | 10.272727 | 0.575758 |
FAW chief executive Jonathan Ford says the 72,500-capacity Principality Stadium is an option.
But after Wales' run to the Euro 2016 semi-finals, Coleman wants to stay at the 33,000-seater home of Cardiff City.
"I would imagine we're going to stick to that, and we should stick to it." he said.
"We could gamble and go back to the Millennium Stadium. It is a magnificent stadium, we know that, we could get another 20,000 maybe, but we made a choice.
"I'd rather be playing at Cardiff City Stadium where there's 30,000 screaming Taffs breathing down the opposition's neck, and our boys feeding off that."
Wales will start their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign against Moldova at Cardiff City Stadium on 5 September.
It is understood they could play a friendly match at the Principality Stadium before it hosts the 2017 Champions League final.
Wales last played at the home of Welsh rugby in a 2-0 Euro 2012 qualifier defeat by England in March, 2011.
"We've got both options available to us," said Ford.
"If the demand is there we need to satisfy that demand whether that's at the Cardiff City Stadium or the Principality Stadium. But obviously it's not available to us for every single match."
Wales' momentous European Championship campaign saw them reach the semi-finals of a major tournament for the first time.
Coleman's men lost to Portugal in the last four on Wednesday but, having won four of their six games in France, Wales exceeded expectations with a string of generation-defining performances.
Before returning to Cardiff for Friday's homecoming parade, the players enjoyed a night out on their final evening in Dinard - the coastal Brittany town where they have been based during the tournament - while Coleman and his staff were also able to unwind.
"We watched the game [France's semi-final win over Germany] and had some pizza and a few cold beers, which were welcome," he added.

"It was nice, a lovely atmosphere fair play. The local people in Dinard have given us such a welcome.
"They were playing our national anthem at the restaurant where we were. We sang that and then we sang the French national anthem.
"That whole feeling, I hope that's being projected back home, what the atmosphere has been like.
"I know there were one or two unsavoury moments at the start of the tournament but, predominantly, all we've seen is positivity from people from all different countries." | Manager Chris Coleman wants Wales to continue playing home matches at Cardiff City Stadium despite increased interest in the national team. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36744228"} | 557 | 24 | 0.44133 | 1.088224 | 0.201838 | 1.363636 | 23.590909 | 0.636364 |
Villa goalkeeper Brad Guzan tipped over Marcos Rojo's powerful 25-yard effort, but was beaten by Ander Herrera's low shot after good work from Daley Blind.
Wayne Rooney added a second goal when he spun and fired into the top corner.
Villa's Christian Benteke pulled one back with a low strike before Herrera scored his second with a side-footed finish in injury-time to seal the win.

Louis van Gaal's side deserved the victory, their fifth in a row in the Premier League, after having 77% possession and restricting their opponents to only two shots on target.
However, Benteke's goal, which came within two minutes of Rooney's spectacular effort, gave the hosts a scare before Herrera's late goal secured the three points.
The result was enough to take United above bitter rivals Manchester City, although Manuel Pellegrini's team will go second if they beat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday.
United are now eight points above fifth-placed Liverpool as they aim to return to the Champions League after a season without European football.
Van Gaal's side now face a vital spell with a home derby against Manchester City followed by a trip to leaders Chelsea.
Defeat for Villa sees them remain three points above the relegation zone with a crucial home game on Tuesday against fellow strugglers QPR.
United had to be patient in the first half against a well-organised Villa side before Herrera put them ahead two minutes before the break.
Ashley Young released the overlapping Blind and he pulled the ball back to the unmarked Spanish midfielder, who took a touch to set himself and drilled the ball past Guzan from 12 yards out.
Villa should have equalised when Jores Okore met Leandro Bacuna's flighted free-kick but glanced a header wide from eight yards.

That miss proved costly as Rooney, who had a first-half appeal for a penalty turned down after he had been challenged by Ciaran Clark, scored his sixth goal in his last eight United appearances.
Substitute Angel Di Maria played the ball into Rooney and the England captain did well to control the pass, spin and shoot past Guzan.
It looked like the game would be over as a contest but Villa responded when Joe Cole's corner - Villa's first - found its way to Benteke and the Belgian striker's shot squeezed underneath David De Gea.
That goal, only the fifth Villa have scored in the second half in 16 away league matches, was not the start of a fightback as Juan Mata played in Herrera who scored the third to seal the win.
Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood:
"I thought we stuck in there and were always in the game until the third goal killed us.
"But it was encouraging. They have given me everything and left nothing on the pitch, but Manchester United were too good for us."
On his side's match against QPR on Tuesday, Sherwood added: "It's a massive game for us.

In the top flight, 11 clubs put the price of this ticket up, contributing to a 6.54% year-on-year rise. It now averages £30.68, up from £28.80.
The most expensive match-day ticket fell slightly to an average of £56.63.
In the season ticket category, both the cheapest and most expensive rose about 1% to £513.95 and £886.21 respectively.
That works out at £27.05 and £46.64 a game.

The study, which also gathers prices for pies, programmes, tea and away tickets across the UK, found replica shirt prices rose 4.8% year on year. Premier League clubs released 50 outfield strips this summer and a home jersey bought in a club shop will now cost an average £49.68.
Swansea were the only club out of 227 in 13 leagues across the UK who declined to take part in the study.

Fans have largely seen prices remain the same or drop this season, as BBC Sport's study found 51 of the 76 ticket prices analysed dropped or remained the same.
The Premier League said this shows clubs are "working hard to keep grounds full" and "doing a good job with record occupancy at 96%".
As in 2014-15, no Premier League ticket is above £100, with Arsenal (£97) and West Ham (£95) most expensive.
But more than a third of the clubs sell a match-day ticket for £25 or less during the course of a season, with Leicester City's £22 offering the cheapest.
The Premier League says BBC Sport's focus on individual match tickets is "misleading" as 66% of fans use season tickets.
Of the teams who remained in the Premier League from 2014-15, only West Brom raised the cost of their cheapest season ticket, citing the "competitive realities" of the competition for their £50 hike.
Prices range from £294 at Stoke City to £2,013 at Arsenal, though the Gunners' season tickets include seven cup fixtures and the London club say most fans pay between £1,000 and £1,100 for a season pass.
According to its own study released last week, the Premier League say season ticket holders paid an average of £32.50 for adults and £10 for juniors to watch matches.
And clubs in the top tier are keen to grow the number of young fans at their stadium, with the likes of Crystal Palace offering a junior season ticket for £95, Liverpool for £180 and Everton admitting under-11s for £5 a game.
West Ham, who sell their cheapest at £617.50, have promised to cut all season ticket prices upon moving to the Olympic Stadium next season, with some available for more than £300 less.

Clubs no longer have a voluntary agreement to keep home shirts for beyond one season, so every club changed at least two kits this summer, with 10 teams releasing three.
Manchester United's £60 adult shirt is a league high and their junior option at £45 outstrips a £38.42 division average.
At the Old Trafford club, it costs £118 for a full adult strip, including shorts, socks, and a printed name and number. A junior strip is £103.
Kit manufacturers, including Adidas and Nike, told BBC Sport that the cost of researching and manufacturing scientific materials were significant in pricing.
Bournemouth's £40 adult shirt and Norwich's £28 junior shirt are the cheapest in the Premier League.
The average pie costs £3.35 in the top flight, up 1.82%, while a tea is £2.09, down 2.84%. A programme is £3.42 on average, up 6.77%.
The most expensive brew in England is Liverpool's £2.50 cup, while Crystal Palace say their pie is produced by "an artisan baker" at a cost to the public of £4 - a joint high with Manchester City.
For the first time, Price of Football gathered away ticket prices.
Clubs told us the average cost of the cheapest ticket they offered away fans during the first six home games of the season was £30.28. The dearest away ticket in this period cost £46.44 on average.
Both figures exceed the Football Supporters' Federation's campaign, which wants to cap away tickets at £20. However, 16 of the 19 clubs have subsidised the cost of tickets for their own travelling fans in the last year.
Children's prices, senior rates and student offers allow clubs to focus pricing on specific sections of their fan base and many offer deals and initiatives during the campaign.
Tottenham chartered two flights to Newcastle for fans at the end of last season, charging just £2.51, while the Magpies have committed to sending disabled supporters on two free away trips each year, including food, travel and tickets.
Arsenal told the BBC they reduce more than 350,000 tickets in price during the campaign and Watford consider fans who travel to Vicarage Road, offering a discount on season tickets of over £100 if your journey is more than 75 miles.

In the five seasons in which the BBC has run its Price of Football study, the cost of a cheap match-day ticket has risen by £5.12 - around 20%. The cheapest season tickets are up 16% in four years.
Clubs point to savings made elsewhere, with Everton referencing just a £2 rise over 10 years in some of their concessionary season tickets.
But how will changes in the football landscape impact things?
The most recent analysis of Premier League clubs' finances, found clubs made pre-tax profits of £187m, the first profit since 1999. In addition, the league's wages to revenue ratio fell from 71% to 58%, the lowest since 1998-99.
From next season, a bumper new television deal worth £5.136bn starts in the Premier League and will bring clubs tens of millions in extra revenue. Even the club which finishes 20th will earn an estimated £100m, up more than £30m.

Barring a 14-goal swing in the final round of fixtures, Garry Monk's side will now finish outside the top six.
Fans who bought a season ticket for the Championship club before the end of May 2016 will get 25% of their money back.
The club had pledged to give refunds of 50% if they sold 15,000 tickets, but they did not reach that number.
Leeds, who have extended a deadline for supporters to claim their money back, are in the process of sending forms to season ticket holders who qualify for the refund.
The cost to the club, co-owned by Italian businessman Massimo Cellino, is not known, but it is understood that funds have been ring-fenced to pay back the money.
Speaking after Saturday's 3-3 draw with Norwich, which effectively ended their play-off hopes, manager Monk said: "The reality is, the majority of the group were not quite ready for this situation. That's not a criticism. It's just a fact." | Leeds United say they will honour a promise to partially refund fans who bought season tickets for 2016-17 if they miss out on the play-offs. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "39770835"} | 217 | 33 | 0.614487 | 1.435829 | 0.091465 | 1 | 6.733333 | 0.666667 |
Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Enda Kenny's language sounded more diplomatic than that of former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern. Mr Ahern told the BBC any British exit from the EU would be "senseless" and set Northern Ireland back "light years". But given the close trading, social and cultural relations between Britain and Ireland, it is obvious any taoiseach will be worried about what would be a far reaching change to the status quo.
This week, a report from an Irish parliamentary committee spelled out Dublin's concerns in more detail. The Oireachtas (Irish Parliament) Joint Committee on European Union Affairs wants the Irish government to be "involved from the outset in all negotiations on the UK relationship with the EU, as UK's membership of the EU is an issue of vital national interest to Ireland".
When it comes to Northern Ireland the committee argues that - in the context of the Good Friday Agreement - "the Irish Government has a voice in relation to the future of Northern Ireland and must feature in EU negotiations with the UK".
In the event of a British withdrawal from the EU, the committee wants London and Dublin to make arrangements to replace any lost EU funding.
Perhaps even more difficult to achieve, the committee wants the Irish and UK Governments to negotiate "to have Northern Ireland recognised (in an EU context) as having 'a special position' in the UK, in view of the Good Friday Agreement". It also recommends that "special arrangements be negotiated at EU level in that context, to maintain North-South relations and Northern Irish EU citizenship rights".
Boiling that down, I assume the idea is that if someone is living in Northern Ireland, but carrying an Irish passport, they should continue to enjoy the benefits of EU membership, even if the UK has pulled out.
Some unionists are not impressed by the Irish Parliamentary Committee's intervention. Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) MEP Diane Dodds regards the committee's view that Dublin must play a role in Mr Cameron's renegotiation as "unwelcome interference in the affairs of the UK".
Should Britain leave the EU, there is no doubt there will be practical consequences so far as the UK's only land border is concerned. But will it, as the Irish committee fears, "result in issues around freedom of movement in border areas, border controls and customs checking"?
On security grounds alone, it seems unlikely that a new network of fixed customs posts and immigration offices will be erected between Newry and Dundalk or Londonderry and Donegal.
Indeed, as the Irish Parliamentary Committee itself points out, arrangements like the British Irish "Common Travel Area" which allows the free movement of people pre-date UK or Irish membership of the EU, as does the special status of Irish people living in the UK as "non-foreign aliens" (a term I hadn't been aware of until reading the committee's report).
However, it is hard to argue with the committee's contention that "should the UK leave the EU, then the Northern Ireland border would become significant as it would become an external EU border".
"This would raise considerable challenges for the open borders policy between the UK and Ireland," the committee's report added.
If a UK outside the EU sought to tighten immigration controls at Dover and Heathrow, could it completely ignore a porous land border with a neighbouring EU state?
Back in the days of Tony Blair's ill fated "e-borders" initiative, unionists objected to the idea they might be asked to show passports when travelling on flights or ferries between Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
The "e-borders" initiative was scrapped, but if the UK pulled out of the EU, would it ask Irish officials to carry out UK immigration checks, introduce more extensive mobile checks on the Northern Ireland border or flirt once again with the idea that operating checks on travel across the Irish Sea makes geographical, if not political sense? | Covering the talks between David Cameron and Enda Kenny in Downing Street last week, it was obvious that Irish concerns about any potential British withdrawal from the European Union occupied more of the two prime ministers' time than their discussion of what might happen next in Stormont's budgetary saga. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "33255310"} | 886 | 66 | 0.425219 | 1.09657 | 0.590481 | 1.037736 | 14.660377 | 0.660377 |
The 53-year-old former Wolves CEO replaced David McNally in August 2016, who resigned when the Canaries were facing Premier League relegation.
Moxey took up the position after overseeing the transition of ownership at Wolves, where he spent 16 years.
"The role has not worked out satisfactorily for Jez, his family or the club," club chairman Ed Balls said.
Balls continued: "All parties have professionally and amicably agreed to move on. We wish Jez all the best in his future career and now our focus is on the next steps for Norwich City."
Finance director Steve Stone, who acted as the club's interim chief executive in the summer of 2016 prior to Moxey's arrival, will take up the role again on a short-term basis.

Afghan-born Qadri (5-60), Jeevan Mendis (2-80), and occasional bowler Wayne Madsen (2-12) did the damage as the pink ball turned sharply all day.
Only Nick Selman, with a slow 43, and Aneurin Donald (31) got going before Chris Cooke's late 39 not out.
Derbyshire's last four-day win was at Northants in July 2015.
Qadri is his county's youngest-ever Championship player and first cricketer born in the 21st century to appear in the four-day competition.
He showed remarkable composure in bowling most of the day and consistently tying down all the batsmen.
Fittingly he claimed the final wicket of Glamorgan captain Michael Hogan, caught at mid-wicket, to spark mid-pitch celebrations among the delighted Derbyshire fielders.
Derbyshire bowler Hamidullah Qadri told BBC Radio Derby:
"It's amazing, a first win for Derby for two years, so all the boys are so happy and they were very supportive throughout my spell. It was really good to express my skills and take a first five-for of my career in a winning cause.
"As a youngster you want to take every opportunity, so it felt really good. I back my skills, I know I'm good enough to play on this stage and I reckon you should express your skills and play without fear.
"I'm really happy for Afghanistan and Ireland to get Test status, they deserve it and they've been playing good quality cricket so it's good for (Afghan) bowlers and batsmen to get good experience of different conditions around the world.
"I've been receiving messages from a few news anchors in my country with good wishes, it's been wonderful."
Glamorgan coach Robert Croft told BBC Wales Sport:
"Where we got in a difficult situation was the third session of day one, when the last three put on 131, and in our first innings batting when we gave up a couple of soft wickets.
"That was a very easy pitch to bowl spin on at the end, fair play, their spinners bowled nicely but I'd expect any spinner to bowl well on that towards the end.
"There are parts of (day-night cricket) that I've really enjoyed and parts it would take me a lot more convincing.
"The timings are one thing, there are certain periods when it's quite clear bat gets on top of ball or ball gets on top of bat when it starts swinging in the twilight zone. The ball goes very soft, there's a need to make sure it retains its hardness like the red Duke ball." | Sixteen-year-old debutant Hamidullah Qadri spun Derbyshire to a first County Championship victory in 710 days, as Glamorgan were bowled out for 172. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "40439063"} | 607 | 47 | 0.404649 | 1.171098 | 0.147833 | 0.821429 | 18.714286 | 0.678571 |
Whatever the reaction at the international film festival, people in Northern Ireland will make up their own minds about 'The Journey' and whether Stormont politics can successfully be turned into showbiz.
The truth is that the scriptwriter did not care about the global audience when he put pen to paper.
Colin Bateman from Bangor, County Down, wrote it primarily for a Northern Ireland audience.
He says he was only interested in making sure that when he goes to his local cinema he does not have to hide behind the seats afterwards as film-goers try to lynch him for crimes against the movie business.
That is unlikely to happen. The majority of critics in Europe so far have been positive and Bateman says he is ready to celebrate and break open a "vintage bottle of Buckfast".
He may choke on it, however, if he reads the Daily Telegraph review of the film.
'A graceless Wikipedian plod through the Irish peace process" is the headline. Ouch.
As the first journalist from Northern Ireland to see it, I found it uncomfortable viewing at times.
Only good manners stopped me jumping out of my seat in a posh Venice cinema and yelling "That never happened. They've got it wrong. Paisley and McGuinness were never in a car together, never mind a graveyard or a remote forest near Loch Lomond trying to save a dying deer. You're making this up."
Silly me. Of course, it was made up.
The film-makers make it clear in the opening sequence that this is a fictional drama.
Yes, Paisley and McGuinness developed a bond in real life, but the movie sets aside the facts and imagines a quicker, action-packed blossoming of the political bromance.
Once you get your head round that, everything is fine. You can resist the urge to scream at the screen... but it takes a while.
There is no doubt the movie will divide opinion at home.
The Belfast-born director Nick Hamm, a Campbell College old boy, calls it a "feel-good film".
Really?
Ninety percent of the dialogue is about Northern Ireland politics and the 30 years of the Troubles from Bloody Sunday to the hunger strikes to the Poppy Day bombing in Enniskillen.
Indeed at one point Ian Paisley (played brilliantly by Timothy Spall) turns to Martin McGuinness (played equally well by Colm Meaney) and lists one-by-one the names of everyone killed by the IRA bomb at Enniskillen.
Amid the fiction, it is a heavy dose of reality.
Feel-good movie? It did not feel like it then.
However, Hamm points to the denouement, the fact that these two old enemies finally realised in later life that there was more that united them than divided them.
They went on to become good friends. They kept in touch after Paisley retired. At one point, they even prayed together.
It is a remarkable story.
At a time when the world seems to be in self-destruct mode, those behind the film believe it is a story a global audience needs to hear. | There was a standing ovation in Venice at the world premiere of the new film about Ian Paisley and Martin McGuinness but tougher audiences lie ahead. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "37308867"} | 700 | 36 | 0.444693 | 1.357823 | 0.640677 | 1.074074 | 22.740741 | 0.703704 |
After being airlifted to hospital having taken the full force of his mate's bike in that road accident last June, the 27-year-old was told he would never walk again.
He was also soon telling himself to "man up".
"I am not the sort of person who is going to sit in the corner and cry about what happened," he told BBC Sport. "Life's for living.
"And at least I got to go in a helicopter. It was one hell of a way of paying to get in one, and I couldn't see a lot because I had a stupid thing around my head. But at least I got in one."
Having heeded his own rather harsh "man-up" advice, Metcalfe-Hall, from Grantham, is now one of Britain's top handcyclists, is chasing a Paralympic dream, has a hugely impressive list of races and charity commitments pending - and plenty more besides.
Life has altered to an unrecognisable extent in a little under 18 months.
It is the handcycling that takes up most of Metcalfe-Hall's focus, because he was quickly "hooked" and wants to be the best.
Currently ranked around the top 10 in the country, he knows breaking in to the world's elite will be incredibly tough because of the commitment to the training and the costs involved.
But he is loving the journey and is in no doubt he will achieve his goals.
"I want to win," said Nottingham-born Metcalfe-Hall. "And one way or another I am going to win. I want to be number one or two in the country.
"Handcycling has made me who I am now. It has given me a focus and a drive. It's given me purpose."
Handcycling is still very much a new sport in Britain but it is growing, according to Ian Durrant, treasurer for HandCycling Association UK.
"There's been a definite upturn in interest since the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics," said Durrant, himself a keen handcyclist who helps run the charity.
"At the moment it is a much bigger sport in mainland Europe, America and Australia.
"There is some way to go to catch up with countries such as Poland, Germany, Austria, Spain because they have been doing it for much longer and have better support. But we are getting there."
Metcalfe-Hall is getting there in some style.
"His timeline is amazing from when he had his accident," said Durrant. "He has made remarkable progress. I am not sure I have seen someone come on so quickly - he's a natural athlete."
The road that led Metcalfe-Hall to his all-consuming handcycling addiction began when he "lost the front end of his bike" on a corner while riding in Bourne in his home county of Lincolnshire.
The accident itself feels like a lifetime ago because so much has changed. But the memories are vivid.

"My mate was behind me and I took a right-hand bend that had gravel on it and I didn't see the gravel," he said.
"I knew it was going down so I got off of it, dumped the bike and got away. I remember seeing all the Tarmac flashing past my face.
"I only blacked out for a split second so I remember everything. Everything. And I still see it every now and then.
"I heard a great big bang and felt it at the same time. And then that was it and I woke up again and I was staring at a bike and after a few seconds thought 'that's not my bike' because we have the same bike, but his has different indicators and different colours.
"I had the bike laid head to toe on me and I couldn't breathe. But I wasn't going to bench press that in a hurry."
Lucky might sound like a ridiculous word to use in relation to his accident, but Metcalfe-Hall tries to look on the positive side.
A first aider who saw the accident took control, alerting the emergency services, removing the bike, keeping calm and keeping Metcalfe-Hall safe until the paramedics turned up.
"He was brilliant," explained Metcalfe-Hall. "He talked to me all the way through, and did everything until the ambulance turned up.
"My mate had a twisted wrist after doing a cartwheel across the road and he knocked off his wing mirror - but I protected his bike because it was laid on top of me!
"It could have been a foot up and I could have lost my head, or a foot lower and he could have ran straight through me."
Metcalfe-Hall was taken to Nottingham's Queens Medical Centre, where it soon became obvious he was unlikely to walk again.
"The bone was through the spinal cord and had chopped through it," he added. "They said I would probably never walk again, and I knew that because I couldn't feel my legs. They said they wanted to get the operation done before things could get worse."
Three days later he was transferred to a specialist spinal unit in Sheffield and was soon thinking about the next stage.
Metcalfe-Hall could not wait to get out and find his "new life", pushing himself to the limits during his rehab, trying all sort of sports and activities from fencing to archery and tennis, and taking part in the Spinal Injury Games.
Within three and a half months he was out and about and discovered handcycling after attending a talk by athlete and inspirational speaker Kenny Herriot.
Then came the rather sizeable issue of finding the cash to fund his involvement in the sport. Handcycling equipment is not cheap.
But his family and former boss Dave King were able to raise approximately £11,000 at a charity event, enabling him to fund his bike, which cost nearly £8,000.
Metcalfe-Hall took part in Ride London 2015 and has a punishing list of events and races planned next year, from a skydive and wingwalk to the Three Peaks Challenge and the London to Paris Armed Forces Ride.
Keeping a positive outlook is his default setting - though he is the first to admit it has been made significantly easier by the "incredible support" he has received.
Dad Andrew Metcalfe, mum Wendy, King and countless friends are mentioned, particularly several able-bodied mates who would go on gruelling 10-mile rides in a wheelchair to keep him company.
"My dad's been great," he said. "We just have a laugh. He calls me 'Mr Wheeler' and I call him 'Mr Walker'. And Mr Walker helps out a lot in everything I do.
"He has a go at me and says, 'You've been sat on your bum all day. Again'. It's a good laugh. You need people to lighten things up.
"Everybody has their moments where they feel low and cannot deal with it. But then you say, 'Come on, get up and get on with with it'. I have friends who are a lot worse off than me."
Metcalfe-Hall admitted the accident had been tough to deal with when it came to his relationship with his daughter Skye.
"She still draws pictures of me stood up which is a bit gutting," he added. "I was a big strong dad - a builder and a kickboxer - so I would throw her about and go on climbing frames and stuff like that.
"I still chase her about, throw her on the sofa and play fight and I fall out of my chair. We still do loads but she knows what my limitations are and is pretty good with it. I can still take care of her on my own as I did before.
"I am developing myself," he added. "The last year has just been phenomenal. I think 'Was it really only a year ago I was injured?' I have met some brilliant people, done some incredible things and had such kindness shown to me.
"And you have to get on with things. I cannot just sit around. Well, that's exactly what I do, but you know what I mean." | Lying on his back with a 200kg motorcycle crushing his chest was not exactly how Dan Metcalfe-Hall envisaged preparing for the helicopter ride he always wanted. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "33771515"} | 1,870 | 40 | 0.391825 | 1.170712 | -0.012908 | 0.8 | 55.333333 | 0.6 |
Along with diving partner Jack Laugher, 21, Mears won the men's synchronised 3m springboard final on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old from Burghfield Common in Berkshire was given just a 5% chance of survival after contracting the Epstein-Barr virus in 2009.
His family were in Rio to see the pair win GB's first ever diving gold medals.
At the age of 16, Mears collapsed with a ruptured spleen, losing five pints of blood.
Speaking to BBC Radio Berkshire before leaving for Rio, he said he had been "pretty close to death's door".
"It helped me adapt to this kind of lifestyle as an athlete," he said.
"That feeling that nothing could be worse than that is a good mindset to have. When you are training and feel you can't do another dive, it helps me work a bit harder.
"At school I was a bit of a joker, it kick-started me to think, 'this is what's life's about - better start doing something now'."
His father Paul, who watched his son take gold in Rio, said: "It was the turning point - up until then he was doing his sport because it was something he'd always done.
"He got sick, nearly died and came back from that and dedicated the rest of his youth to the sport. To see it pay off in the one that really matters is just a dream come true."
Jeff Pearce, a coach at Reading Central Pool, recalled how staff were "amazed at what his capabilities were" when Mears began diving lessons as a child.
"He stood out like a sore thumb - his attitude, his physical ability, the things he could try were way beyond his age," he said. | A life-threatening illness suffered by Olympic gold medal-winning diver Chris Mears was the "turning point" in his career, his father has said. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "37045642"} | 412 | 34 | 0.519448 | 1.510104 | 0.296695 | 0.9 | 11.966667 | 0.633333 |
Two officers were also hurt in the attack, it said.
The group was travelling in an armoured convoy in northern Sinai.
Militants in Sinai have intensified their attacks on the security forces after the military overthrew President Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood last year.
Tuesday's bombing took place on the road between Rafah, on the border with Gaza, and North Sinai's provincial capital, el-Arish, the interior ministry said.
Responsibility for past attacks has been claimed by an al-Qaeda-linked group, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis.

The alliance said it must adapt to the mixture of conventional military tactics, subversive campaigns and cyber-warfare that Russia was using in Ukraine.
Nato says that Russia is backing rebels in Ukraine - a claim denied by Moscow.
Three Baltic countries are preparing to ask for a permanent presence of Nato troops on their soil to act as a deterrent to the Russian military.
"Hybrid warfare combines different types of threats, including conventional, subversion and cyber," said Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg.
"When the world has changed, Nato has to adapt," he added.
Speaking after a meeting of defence ministers in Turkey, Mr Stoltenberg said that a more assertive Russia had been using force to change borders and intimidate its neighbours.
The two-day conference was also attended by EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini. Nato has said that it will look to increase its co-operation and intelligence sharing with the EU.
"We will ensure that the strategies we are developing are complementary, so that we can work together quickly and effectively in the case of a hybrid threat against any of our members," said Mr Stoltenberg.
In another development, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have said they are preparing to ask Nato to station one troop battalion in each country.
Lithuanian Army spokesman Capt Mindaugas Neimontas said that the request would be made in a joint letter later this week.
"It is necessary because of the security situation," he told The Associated Press news agency. "It's not getting better in our region, so it will be a deterrent."
There is growing concern over increased military activity from Russia.
On Thursday, RAF fighter jets were scrambled after two Russian military aircraft were seen flying towards UK airspace.
Nato forces have also stepped up military exercises, especially in eastern European nations.
The alliance is conducting its largest ever anti-submarine warfare exercise in the North Sea, off the coast of Norway.
The West has criticised Russia for annexing the Crimean peninsula and has accused Russia of arming rebels in the east of Ukraine.
More than 6,000 people have been killed in fighting which began in April 2014 between Ukrainian government forces and rebels in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
The lull in the conflict in eastern Ukraine since February's ceasefire has been punctuated by frequent violations, and on Tuesday Ukraine said three of its soldiers had been killed in the past 24 hours. | Nato has pledged to counter "hybrid warfare" from Russia. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "32741688"} | 553 | 18 | 0.539231 | 1.32695 | -0.469311 | 2 | 39.416667 | 0.833333 |
They voted for keeping the UK in the EU single market after Brexit, despite being told to abstain by their party.
Chris Bryant, Ann Clwyd, Stephen Doughty, Susan Elan Jones, Madeleine Moon, Albert Owen and Jo Stevens were amongst 51 Labour MPs who rebelled.
The amendment, put forward by Labour MP Chuka Umunna and also backed by the four Plaid Cymru MPs, was defeated.
Three Labour frontbenchers were sacked for defying the party whip in the vote.

The interior ministry said two of the assailants were also killed when forces at the Naqb checkpoint, about 80km (50 miles) from Kharga city, fought back.
It was not clear who was responsible, but the ministry blamed "terrorists".
Jihadist militants have killed hundreds of soldiers and police officers since the military's overthrow of Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
Most of the attacks have taken place in the northern Sinai peninsula, where troops are battling a local affiliate of so-called Islamic State.
Last week, IS said members of the group were behind an assault on a police checkpoint west of the city of Arish that left another eight officers dead.

Prop Jones, 33, of Merthyr Tydfil, was doing 36mph in a 30mph zone on the A4109 near Glynneath in Neath Port Talbot in his Mercedes E220.
The Cardiff Blues player already had nine points on his licence.
Cardiff magistrates rejected his appeal that not being able to drive would cause "exceptional hardship".
He was banned for six months.
Jones said it would place a strain on his wife and parents who would have to give him lifts.
The court heard that if he is picked for Wales for the 2015 Six Nations campaign he will have to go to training camps at "all hours of the day".
Jones told the hearing: "I can get called in at random times to do random training sessions.
"I wouldn't be able to say when I would get back from games. It's not unknown to get back at one or two in the morning."
The court heard Jones, who has 95 Wales caps, had already been caught speeding three times during the past two years and had done a speed awareness course.
Magistrates banned him from driving for six months, saying that he was wealthy enough to be able to afford his own private chauffeur.

Wales last week qualified for their first major tournament since 1958.
Bale, 26, also praised Coleman's predecessors - the late Gary Speed and John Toshack - but said much of the credit had to go to the current boss.
"He's been amazing. All the players love him. I think he's created such a great atmosphere in the camp," he said.
The Real Madrid forward said all of the players "enjoy going away with Wales" and "never want to miss it".
He added: "Even the ones who miss out - we're all texting and they're always gutted not to be there."
Appointed in January 2012, Coleman started his Wales reign with four losses, and considered resigning after the 6-1 defeat by Serbia in September 2012.
But the 45-year-old former Fulham boss transformed his side's fortunes and is set to sign a new contract.
Bale said: "He's been incredible. He's really brought that passion and pride back for Wales. Even just at lunchtimes and meetings there's always that bit of banter.
"He's a great person to have around as well as being your manager. We respect him as a manager and a man as well."
Bale said Coleman had "grown into his own" after a "bit of a rocky start".
"It's obviously been a long process," he added. "A lot of us who are playing now were with John Toshack and Gary Speed and now with Chris Coleman, but [credit] mostly to Chris I think because he has really pushed us on and made us really kick on and have that belief in ourselves.
"It was a difficult time with the death of Gary for us as players, we were very close to him. It was one of those times that maybe made us a little bit stronger.
"We wanted to do it for Gary and his family as well. Chris Coleman coming in really gave us that belief. It was a difficult time but we have tried to use it as a positive and do it for Gary."
Having qualified on Saturday despite losing 2-0 in Bosnia-Herzegovina, thanks to Cyprus beating Israel, Wales ended their campaign with a 2-0 win against Andorra three days later.
"It's a bit surreal," said Bale. "We know we have done it but it hasn't quite fully sunk in to be honest.
"It's obviously a major achievement but I think it will really sink in when we start to go to France and the hype and the buzz around the tournament will really kick in."
Bale said Wales' achievement was on a par with winning the Champions League with Real Madrid.
He added: "It's such an historical moment for Wales. I think everybody knows how much it means to me to play for Wales and to create history for the country, so to qualify probably meets it right up there.
"We're not going there to make up the numbers, we really want to make an impact in the tournament and give everybody a run for their money. We believe in ourselves and hopefully we can make a whole nation proud."

Shirley Chaplin, 57, from Exeter, was stopped from wearing a necklace with a cross by her employer on health and safety grounds.
The court ruled that her rights had not been violated under the European Convention on Human Rights.
Ms Chaplin said: "I don't regret it. I had to stand up for my faith."
She was one of four British Christians who had brought cases against the government, claiming they suffered religious discrimination at work.
Ms Chaplin was transferred to a desk job by Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Trust Hospital for failing to remove the cross, which she had worn to work for 30 years.
The judges had decided that agreed health and safety concerns outweighed her religious rights.
Mrs Chaplin said: "It seems ridiculous to me - I wore it [the crucifix] on my confirmation when I was 16, I've been a nurse since 1978.
"I've worn it without incident, I've nursed a very wide range of patients, I've been bitten, I've been scratched, I've had computers thrown at me, but no-one has ever, ever grabbed my crucifix.
"To say it's a health and safety risk, I really don't agree with that at all. We intend to appeal and take it back to the European Court."
Hospital officials said they discussed several ways the ward sister could wear the cross, including concealing it under her clothes, but the nurse refused.
Source: BBC Religion and Ethics
Why is the cross important to Christians?
Her discrimination case was heard by an Employment Appeal Tribunal in 2010, but they failed to uphold her complaint.
Lynn Lane, human resources director for the trust, said: "This case was between Mrs Chaplin and the UK government.
"However, we are pleased that the European Court's findings endorse the earlier findings of an employment tribunal.
"Our own dress code for clinical staff is in accordance with Department of Health guidelines and designed to protect the health and safety of our patients and staff."
She said: "I started on this journey and I have to see it through and I think the appeal will be the end."
Christian Concern funded Ms Chaplin's case and said it would support her if she plans to appeal to the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights.
In the joint ruling, the court decided that Nadia Eweida, a British Airways employee who had been told to stop wearing her white gold cross visibly at work, did suffer discrimination over her beliefs.
Judges ruled that the rights of the other three Christians including Ms Chaplin had not been violated.
The other two were Gary McFarlane, 51 - a marriage counsellor fired after saying he might object to giving sex therapy advice to gay couples - and Islington Council registrar Lillian Ladele, who was disciplined after she refused to conduct same-sex civil partnership ceremonies. | A Christian nurse who lost her discrimination-at-work case at the European Court of Human Rights has said she plans to appeal. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "21028691"} | 633 | 28 | 0.515049 | 1.375828 | 0.366807 | 2.653846 | 22.038462 | 0.961538 |
He has published his policy on shared education.
Its aim is to enable more children and young people from different community backgrounds to be educated together.
Shared education can include sharing campuses like Lisanelly in Omagh, as well as pupils in separate schools engaging in joint classes.
Teachers and school governors from different schools can also work together to share good practice.
The policy says that "all children and young people should have the opportunity to be involved in shared education".
As part of the drive to achieve this, a Shared Education Bill will be introduced to the assembly, although this has been delayed due to the failure of the executive to meet recently.
Schools will also be required to outline their plans for engaging in shared education, while teachers in training will be given the opportunity to learn together.
Extra funding of £25m over four years has previously been made available to schools engaging in shared education projects.
The executive's 'Together, Building a United Community Strategy' also included a target to commence 10 new shared education campuses in the next five years.
Most children in Northern Ireland - around 92% - are educated at schools mainly attended by either Protestant or Roman Catholic pupils.
However, many schools have pupils from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds.
The minister says that shared education helps to raise educational standards and reduce underachievement; makes better use of resources, and builds good relations among young people.
Shared education is not the same as integrated education, where schools enrol similar numbers of Catholic and Protestant children as well as pupils from other religious and cultural backgrounds
Integrated schools aim to enrol at least 30% of their pupils from the minority community in their catchment area, although can start with as little as 10% of pupils from that community.
A number of organisations consulted about the shared education policy expressed the view that integrated education was preferable to shared education.
However, the Department of Education said that integrated schools would benefit from taking part in shared education projects. | Education Minister John O'Dowd has said he wants "all children and young people" in Northern Ireland to be involved in shared education projects. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "34270448"} | 410 | 32 | 0.653958 | 1.668926 | 0.169634 | 3.5 | 15.076923 | 0.884615 |
It carried out observations at 60 sites in five areas of England and 30 locations in Scotland last October.
Overall, the DfT found 1.1% of drivers holding a mobile in their hand compared with 0.5% with a phone to their ear.
Van drivers used their phones the most, with 2.7% falling foul of the law.
Legislation was introduced in 2003 making it illegal to use a hand-held mobile phone while driving or riding a motorcycle.
Drivers may be issued with a fixed penalty notice, resulting in three penalty points on the driving licence and a fine of £100. If a case goes to court, they face disqualification and a fine of up to £1,000.
The use of hands-free phones is permitted but a driver can still be stopped if police believe they are distracted.
The DfT says the purpose of its surveys in South East England, Manchester, Newcastle, Durham, Norfolk and Scotland was to "assess compliance".
Observations were made of drivers of cars, vans, taxis, lorries, buses, minibuses and coaches between 07:30-12:00 and 13:30-18:00 on weekdays. Some locations were surveyed again at weekends.
The DfT said: "A distinction was made between drivers holding the phone to their ear (indicating that the driver was receiving or making a call) or holding it in their hand (indicating that the driver may have been receiving or making a call, texting or reading a text, or using it for some other interactive function)."
It acknowledged that "it was not possible for observers to determine what the mobile phone was being used for".
However, it said the finding "suggests that most mobile phone usage whilst driving was for the purposes of sending or receiving a text or using social media rather than making a call".
Among car drivers, 1.4% were found to be using a mobile.
Although 2.7% of van drivers were using a phone, most (1.9%) were holding it to their ear rather than in their hand.
Only 1.2% of goods vehicles and lorry drivers were on a phone, with bus, coach and minibus drivers having the lowest usage rate at 0.4%.
Officials spotted 1.7% of male drivers using a hand-held mobile phone, compared to 1.3% of females.
The DfT said the proportion of car drivers in England observed using a mobile was about the same as in 2009, when a previous survey was carried out.
Transport minister Robert Goodwill said: "No phone-call is worth risking an accident. This research shows that the problem isn't just drivers making phone calls, it is their use of phones to text or use the internet.
"While this only provides a snapshot, it is an interesting insight that will help inform future policy. We will keep further deterrent measures under consideration."
A survey commissioned by ministers in Northern Ireland last year suggested 1% of drivers were using a mobile. There has been no similar research in Wales. | People who use their mobile phones illegally while driving are more likely to be sending texts or using social media than making a phone call, the Department for Transport says. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "31634425"} | 646 | 35 | 0.507646 | 1.189096 | 0.308187 | 1.53125 | 18.46875 | 0.78125 |
The Business, Innovation and Skills and International Development Committees' joint report has evidence of breaches of international humanitarian law.
However, there is division between MPs on the issue.
The Foreign Affairs Committee's report says weapons exports should stop only if UK courts rule the sales unlawful.
The committee's Conservative chairman Crispin Blunt is understood to have drawn up the rival document after objecting to proposals to issue the call for immediate suspension through the House of Commons Committees on Arms Export Controls (CAEC).
Reports suggested he walked out of a CAEC private meeting to prevent a vote being taken on the draft report, because he felt it was one-sided.
The move came amid claims that UK-made arms are being used in indiscriminate bombing raids on civilian targets by the Saudi-led coalition fighting Shia rebels in neighbouring Yemen.
One of the attacks resulted in the deaths of 47 civilians, including 21 women and 15 children, and injuries to 58 who were killed when a wedding party at a house was struck by missiles from military aircraft.
CAEC inquiry chair Chris White said the UK had led the way in setting up international humanitarian law to govern arms sales.
But, the conflict in Yemen raised serious concerns that the country was not determined to make sure they were respected.
"During this inquiry we have heard evidence from respected sources that weapons made in the UK have been used in contravention of international humanitarian law," he said.
"The Government can no longer wait and see and must now take urgent action, halting the sale of arms to the Saudi-led coalition until we can be sure that there is no risk of violation."
He called for an independent inquiry into the circumstances surrounding incidents in Yemen such as allegations of the use of cluster bombs.
And he said the current system for overseeing the sale of arms must be improved.
The government has faced sustained pressure to suspend the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia.
In August, aid agency Oxfam accused the British government of "denial and disarray" over the trade.
But Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has defended it, insisting the export of weapons to the country would continue.
The CAEC is made up of four parliamentary committees - Business, Innovation and Skills; Defence; Foreign Affairs; and International Development.
The Defence Committee has not said whether it intends to publish its own report. | The UK must stop sales of weapons which could be used by Saudi Arabia in Yemen until an inquiry into human rights breaches is complete, MPs have said. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "37376317"} | 507 | 32 | 0.528727 | 1.373018 | 0.968168 | 1.233333 | 15.566667 | 0.833333 |
The metal rods were used by Causeway Coast and Glens council to mark out a makeshift car-park for the Irish Open golf championship in Portstewart.
Ryan Patev, 11, was playing with his younger brothers on Wednesday when he fell on the rod.
It punctured 4in (10cm) into his right thigh, just 2cm from a major artery.
It is understood that he fell backwards off a wall onto the rod.
Natalie Patev said her son had a lucky escape - despite now being off his feet and not allowed to go outside.
"Ryan could have died - it doesn't bear thinking about," she told BBC News NI.
"He is upset and really sore, he can't walk on it or anything and has to stay inside."
Ms Patev said the rods were not "capped" and the car park had been constructed in a "slap-dash" fashion with "no thought put into the children's safety".
"They were there for the golf - it was a parking area they had made... like an overspill," she said.
Recovering after his ordeal, Ryan Patev described the moment he was injured.
"I just saw the the pole sticking out at the side of my leg," he told BBC Newsline.
"Luckily, my other leg was supporting it so it didn't go down any further.
"My friend, Tommy, pulled the iron rod out of the ground so I could lie on the ground."
Ryan Patev said those responsible for the rods should have put up warning signs.
"I didn't see it at first and I just don't want it to happen to anyone else."
A council official had visited the family's home and offered Ryan and his mother tickets to the tournament, but this was not what they wanted, Ms Patev told The Belfast Telegraph.
"(The official) apologised and said they have removed the iron rods from the grass," she told the newspaper.
The Health and Safety Executive said it was aware of the incident and was making inquiries.
In a statement, Causeway Coast and Glens Council confirmed that a council officer and a representative from the European Tour's car park operation visited Ryan Patev at home on Thursday.
A spokesperson for golf's European Tour said it was working with the council to carry out a full investigation into the incident.
"We were very sorry to hear of Ryan's unfortunate accident," said the spokesperson.
"A representative of the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, along with a member of our car parking team, visited Ryan and his family at home yesterday afternoon to offer support and check on his wellbeing, and we all wish him well in his recovery." | The mother of a boy who was impaled on a metal rod is seeking legal advice after what she called a "totally preventable" injury. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "40529101"} | 601 | 36 | 0.394884 | 1.078686 | -0.328329 | 0.703704 | 20.296296 | 0.62963 |
Mr Leishman was elected as a Labour councillor for Dunfermline on 3 May.
His nomination was proposed by the party at the first full meeting of the council on Thursday morning, and he was elected provost by 42 votes to 35.
Mr Leishman said: "This is one of the proudest days of my life. Fife's been good to me, and now is a chance to pay something back."
He added: "It is a deep honour to be elected as provost and I will work hard for all the people right across the Kingdom of Fife."
Labour has formed a minority administration in Fife.
Mr Leishman became manager of the Pars in 1982 when they were languishing in the bottom tier of the Scottish football League. He was only 28 years old at the time.
He became a Dunfermline legend after taking the club to the Premier League just five years later, and became famous for his flamboyant personality, "aeroplane" celebration and national television appearances, when he often recited humorous poems about football.
He left Dunfermline in controversial circumstances in 1990 before returning as general manger in 2003 following stints at Montrose and Livingston.
Mr Leishman briefly returned to the East End Park dugout two years later, before moving back upstairs, initially as general manager and then as director of football - a post he still holds. | Former Dunfermline Athletic football manager Jim Leishman has been named as Fife Council's new provost. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "18102491"} | 313 | 28 | 0.614199 | 1.588645 | 0.141622 | 0.705882 | 15.352941 | 0.705882 |
To understand why this view is so strongly held, you have to grasp the scale of Chinese investment in the UK.
There is a long list of British brands and companies that now have Chinese backers: Weetabix, House of Fraser, MG cars, London taxi cabs, Heathrow and Manchester airports.
And the UK has become the second most popular destination for Chinese investment in Europe, second only to Italy.
Many investors worry that those economic ties will be damaged if Brexit occurs.
John Zai is one of them. Originally from Shanghai, he heads Cocoon Networks, a venture capital group that plans to invest in tech companies in Europe, primarily in the UK.
It's just signed a 10-year lease on the former London Stock Exchange and aims to transform it into Europe's largest tech innovation centre.
"If we can combine the European technology and the ideas with the Chinese money, the Chinese capital, it's going to be crazy," he enthuses.
But those plans could all change if the UK votes to leave the EU.
"It's going to probably cause a lot of problems, because Cocoon is a platform bridge between China and Europe.
"It's China and Europe, not China and the UK or China and London.
"Tech companies are really dependent on talent," he says. "If the UK leaves the EU, all this different talent from the EU, from all these different countries, they're going to be gone.
"People are always talking about how London is going to become a Silicon Valley but without all this talent, it's not going to happen."
Many hope the UK's economy will flourish because of the close relationship between London and Beijing.
Deals worth more than £40bn ($56bn) were signed when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the UK last October.
During that visit, Mr Xi made his views clear: China supports a "united EU".
"China definitely wants to sell more Chinese products into the European market, but they'd better do it from the eurozone really," says Philippe Le Corre, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington.
London would be less attractive to investors if it could offer only the UK market of 65 million people, rather than the 500 million across the EU, he says.
"London would not lose its role as trader of renminbi but in terms of consumer products, big industries, even tourism, I believe London would be affected."
But it's not all about money.
How trade and the UK's economy are affected by membership of the EU.
For Mr Xi, the EU referendum also carries political concerns.
During his time in power, over almost four years, he's fostered closer ties with London - a counterbalance, perhaps, to China's rockier relations elsewhere.
If the UK leaves the EU, Mr Xi's judgement could be called into question.
"There has been some criticism that he has been spending too much attention on ceremonial matters and diplomacy without concern for the slowing Chinese economy at home," says Yu Jie, the China programme manager at the LSE Ideas think tank in London.
"So, if the UK leaves the EU, it won't only undermine the Chinese relationship with the UK. It will also undermine Xi Jinping's image as a steady leader because he's betting on the wrong horse."
Chinese entrepreneurs might also come to feel that they've bet on the wrong horse. Over tea at his private members' club, Mr Zai admits to worries.
"I'm just afraid if we leave the EU, it's going to be like an earthquake, like a huge earthquake. To be honest, I have no idea what's going to happen. Personally, I'm quite nervous."
Nerves in London stretching all the way to the halls of power in Beijing.
Some might argue that Chinese concerns shouldn't matter and British voters will make their own decisions on EU membership.
But those who have invested financial and political capital in a closer relationship between China and the UK might be heading for a few sleepless nights. | The view from China appears to be unanimous: Chinese leaders and business people want the UK to remain inside the European Union. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36545639"} | 907 | 25 | 0.479239 | 1.236055 | 0.142461 | 0.916667 | 34.166667 | 0.666667 |
The Bluebirds were second from bottom when Warnock took charge in October.
But Tuesday's remarkable 4-3 win away at Derby lifted Cardiff up to 12th place in the Championship table, 13 points clear of the relegation zone and 13 points adrift of the top six.
"This is the same group of players," Warnock told BBC Wales Sport.
"I don't think they realise yet how good they can be. It is amazing what you can do really - this is why I am in football so long, to get the best out of what you have is fantastic.
"We played against the teams who have spent millions and yet we compete with them. That is what its all about."
Warnock has said he will meet Cardiff chairman Mehmet Dalman to discuss his future after Saturday's home game against Rotherham.
The 68-year-old has previously stated he would like to challenge for promotion with the Bluebirds.
But asked about his upcoming talks with Dalman, the ex-Sheffield United and Crystal Palace boss preferred to focus on the fixture against his former side Rotherham.
"It'll probably be a horrible game on Saturday - it's all about trying to get the three points," said Warnock.
"It does not matter how we play on Saturday because they will not give anything. I have been there, they are a good group of lads. We have to get our minds on that.

Wing Matt Healy's superb opening try helped the visitors seize the early initiative, while Aled Thomas kicked Scarlets' first-half points.
Steff Evans and Michael Collins went over for tries as Scarlets went ahead.
Jack Carty kicked Connacht into the lead with two minutes left, but Shingler replied to seal Scarlets' win.
Having failed with a similar late penalty chance in their festive derby defeat by arch-rivals Ospreys, Shingler was given the chance to redeem himself after replacing Scarlets' starting 10 Aled Thomas.
Having also lost at Cardiff Blues, on New Year's Day, Scarlets were desperate to get their campaign back on track.
Shingler's kick capped an admirable fight-back against a Connacht side who have impressed this season to send Scarlets back above Leinster, who had been top following a clinical win over Ospreys in Swansea on Friday.
Pat Lam's Connacht stayed fourth as they earned a losing bonus point.
The midfield was dominated by New Zealand-bred players with Scarlets' Regan King and Hadleigh Parkes facing Connacht's Bundee Aki, who partnered Irishman Craig Ronaldson.
Shoulder-charging King cost Aki 10 minutes in the sin-bin while King followed in the first half after illegally killing a Connacht attack.
After Healy's 65-metre dash for his opening try, Parkes halted a second with a well-executed tackle that forced the Irishman to drop the ball as he attempted to dab down.
Ronaldson added the conversion to the penalty that punished King's indiscretion.
But Scarlets had the final say of the opening period as Thomas kicked their first points with a penalty.
The home side got closer with Thomas' second penalty and after scrum-half Aled Davies' superb work in a multi-phase attack, wing Steff Evans slid over at the corner.
Thomas converted to put the hosts ahead for the first time.
Ronaldson levelled from the restart, but Scarlets again took the lead after King drifted wide on to Thomas' well-weighted pass.
The once-capped New Zealand All Black timed his feed to try-scorer Collins to perfection.
Ronaldson's 63rd minute departure left Carty with Connacht's kicking responsibilities. He put the visitors two points behind and kicked another with two minutes remaining to give them the lead.
But the drama continued as replacement Ronan Loughney's tip-tackle at a ruck gave Shingler his chance.
Scarlets boss Wayne Pivac told BBC Radio Wales: "With the last two matches being narrow losses, we couldn't really afford another one if we wanted to stay in the top four and also top six, because it's that close at the moment with, I think, eight teams going for six spots.
"Both teams were in a similar position with players unavailable and a recent run of losses, I guess so to get back on the winning way was really important."

Mr Salmond decided to speak his mind about the US presidential hopeful after a supreme court decision on a contested wind farm development.
The SNP MP said Mr Trump was a "three-time loser" who was having a "damaging impact" on the Scottish economy.
Mr Trump hit back at Mr Salmond calling him "a has-been and totally irrelevant".
The US businessman's legal challenge to a planned offshore wind farm off the Aberdeenshire coast, close to Mr Trump's Menie golf course, was rejected by the UK's Supreme Court.
This led Mr Salmond to launch an attack on Mr Trump's impact on Scotland.
He accused Mr Trump of "condemning" Turnberry, the Ayrshire golf resort he bought in 2014, to "Open Championship oblivion".
Earlier, the chief executive of the Professional Golfer's Association said Mr Trump's comments on the presidential campaign trail were "not a positive thing for golf", amid speculation the Open Championship will not be hosted at Turnberry in light of his controversial statements.
Mr Trump has attracted even more controversy that usual in his campaign seeking the Republican nomination for the US presidential race.
A petition to have the billionaire barred from entry to the UK gathered hundreds of thousands of signatures after he called for a temporary halt on Muslims being allowed to enter the United States.
SNP MP and MSP Mr Salmond said as he was no longer first minister he was now free to speak his mind on the "damaging impact" of Mr Trump's "interventions" on the Scottish economy.
He said: "By his unacceptable behaviour he has condemned Turnberry, one of the outstanding golf courses on the planet, to Open Championship oblivion.
"There is no way the R&A will go near the Ayrshire course while Trump is in charge. As a result Scotland stands to lose the £100m economic return from a Turnberry Open."
Mr Salmond also said Mr Trump had "failed to meet the claims he made for the Menie Estate Golf complex" in Aberdeenshire.
He said the "fine golf course" did not have a permanent club house, "far less the claims of thousands of jobs and billions of investment", and said his legal challenge to an offshore wind farm near the course was "deeply damaging".
A spokesman for the Trump organisation hit back at Mr Salmond, saying: "Does anyone care what this man thinks? He's a has-been and totally irrelevant.
"The fact that he doesn't even know what's going on in his own constituency says it all. We have a permanent clubhouse and the business is flourishing.
"He should go back to doing what he does best - unveiling pompous portraits of himself that pander to his already overinflated ego." | A war of words has erupted between Scotland's former first minister Alex Salmond and US tycoon Donald Trump. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35113085"} | 623 | 30 | 0.422329 | 1.020066 | -0.342805 | 0.7 | 27 | 0.6 |
The video, published by The Sun, shows Johnson, 29, apparently talking to other inmates at HMP Moorland about his child sex abuse case and victim.
The former Sunderland and England midfielder was jailed for six years in March 2016 for grooming and sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.
A spokeswoman said: "An investigation is under way."
The Prison Service spokeswoman also said measures to "find and block illegal mobile phones" were being "stepped up".
She added: "Those who break the rules will be punished and can face extra time behind bars."
In the video, Johnson said he felt he had received a tougher sentence because of his celebrity status.
He also said he hoped to resume his football career abroad after leaving prison.
Rape Crisis in the North East said it was concerned about the effect the publication of the video could have on Johnson's victim.
A spokeswoman said his comments showed "arrogance and a lack of remorse".

However, Mr Medvedev - a qualified lawyer - is extremely close to his predecessor Vladimir Putin, a former KGB agent.
He campaigned as Mr Putin's protege and tied himself to his policies as soon as he won the 2007 election. "We will be able to preserve the course of President Putin," he said at the time.
With the news that he is to step aside in 2012 and allow Mr Putin to stand again as president, the "course of President Putin" looks set to continue after he leaves the Kremlin.
Indeed, he will not be travelling very far as he is proposing to swap places with Mr Putin, who has served as prime minister while out of presidential office.
Some would argue that even as president, Mr Medvedev left the real decision-making to the man who made him politically.
Considered an economic liberal, Mr Medvedev served President Putin as first deputy prime minister, and was also chairman of Russia's enormous state-run gas monopoly, Gazprom.
But his connection to his predecessor began much earlier.
Mr Medvedev trained as a lawyer in Leningrad - now St Petersburg. The son of a professor, he became an assistant professor in his own right at St Petersburg State University in the 1990s.
While there, he became involved in the city council and joined Mr Putin's external affairs team as an expert consultant working for the mayor.
It was a key period in Russia's transition from communism.
In 2000, Mr Medvedev took charge of Mr Putin's presidential election campaign and in October 2003 he was appointed Kremlin chief-of-staff.
Promoted to the post of first deputy prime minister in charge of national projects in 2005, he oversaw major social initiatives in the areas of agriculture, health, education and efforts to boost Russia's low birth rate.
He also helped restructure the Kremlin's relations with powerful billionaire oligarchs who made fortunes in the Yeltsin years, telling the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2007 that the aim was to create "big Russian corporations".
Endorsing his nomination as presidential candidate, Mr Putin said: "I have known him for more than 17 years, I have worked with him very closely all these years".
Mr Medvedev has been portrayed by some as a liberal but critics ask if his commitment to democracy is more than mere lip service.
During the 2007 election campaign, he refused to take part in televised debates with other candidates, saying they would give his rivals additional publicity.
But he considers himself a democrat, once saying: "We are well aware that no non-democratic state has ever become truly prosperous for one simple reason: freedom is better than non-freedom."
In office, he has also preached technological innovation for Russia, earning him the unkind nickname "nano-president", a jibe which also refers to his short stature.
Progress, Reuters news agency notes, has been slow on two trademarks of Mr Medvedev's modernisation drive: efforts to create a high-tech innovation incubator at Skolkovo, outside Moscow, and to turn the capital into a global financial centre.
"Dmitry Medvedev did not justify expectations," liberal journalist Mikhail Fishman wrote in a scathing commentary in Vedomosti newspaper.
"There is not the slightest hint that a single one of the tasks he set was implemented. Instead of a reformer we got a seat-warmer."
Perhaps the one change many Russians will remember from his presidency is the renaming of the police force from "militsia" with its Soviet connotations, to the more neutral "politsia".
Whatever his political values, Dmitry Medvedev has Western tastes, being a fan of rock groups like Pink Floyd and Deep Purple, which played at the Kremlin in February 2008 to mark the 15th anniversary of the founding of Gazprom.
Born 14 September 1965 in Leningrad, he was descended, by his own account, from farm workers, a blacksmith and a hat-maker.
He grew up in a small flat in Kupchino on the outskirts of the city now known as St Petersburg, where he says he dreamed of buying jeans.
While still a teenager, he fell in love with his future wife, Svetlana, with whom he has a son. | When Dmitry Medvedev became president of Russia in 2007, he was the country's first leader in decades with no known links either to the former Soviet Communist Party or secret services. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "15047827"} | 993 | 40 | 0.433319 | 1.131828 | 0.135707 | 1.088235 | 24.382353 | 0.676471 |
The disclosure has prompted Labour to accuse him of "jaw-dropping hypocrisy".
Number 10 said Mr Cameron had acted in his capacity as a local MP who believed Thames Valley Police could make savings without affecting front-line services.
This week it emerged Mr Cameron, MP for Witney in Oxfordshire, is involved in a row over cuts with the county council.
The PM had written to Oxfordshire council leader Ian Hudspeth saying he was "disappointed" at proposed cuts to elderly day centres, libraries and museums.
The Tory-run council said it had little choice because its grant had fallen sharply - from £194m a year in 2009/10 to £122m this year.
Downing Street has now confirmed to BBC Newsnight that Mr Cameron also lobbied Thames Valley Police to try to prevent the closure, or partial closure, of police stations in the region.
In the last parliament, Thames Valley had to find £57m worth of savings.
Despite being praised by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary for being an efficient and well-run force, it still closed seven police stations, and reduced opening hours at others.
One police source told Newsnight the force had done the best it could but could not afford to keep open stations that "hardly anyone ever uses".
Shadow cabinet minister Jon Ashworth said the prime minister was "completely unaware" of the effects of budget cuts in local communities.
"I think it's jaw-droppingly hypocritical from the prime minister because the reason these services are being cut in his constituency is because he is cutting them," he said.
"He is the first lord of the treasury, he is the man who is signing off George Osborne's cuts plan, so I'm surprised that the prime minister is so out of touch with what the impact of these cuts would mean that he is now lobbying organisations in his own constituency against the very cuts he is implementing."
Steve White, chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said Mr Cameron's lobbying of local police chiefs showed a disconnect between politicians in government and those implementing cuts.
"It's a bit disingenuous to have some politicians say they want to protect their own local police station but actually they know full well that it will be at the cost of other police stations around the country or indeed in the force," he said.
Downing Street denied that Mr Cameron was being hypocritical.
A spokesman said Mr Cameron had spoken up as a local MP during conversations with local police chiefs.
"He wants to see local authorities and the police making sensible savings through back office efficiencies and joint working," he said.

And the results of the ballot will also appear on the side of the building, which sits on the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow.
Based on when the results were called at the 2010 General Election, here is an estimate of the declaration times of Scotland's 59 seats. | BBC Scotland will be delivering extensive coverage of the election results across online, TV and radio. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "32605267"} | 139 | 20 | 0.628982 | 1.328367 | -0.066337 | 0.944444 | 6.944444 | 0.611111 |
Ash Handley put Rhinos ahead and Greg Eden replied for Cas in a tight first half, but two goals by Luke Gale saw the visitors lead 8-6 at half-time.
Zak Hardaker's stunning solo try against his parent club extended Castleford's advantage and Grant Millington also went over.
Adam Cuthbertson's try proved to be just a consolation for the home side.
It was an eighth successive Super League win for Cas, who stretched their lead by virtue of Salford losing to St Helens.
The home side went ahead after a mistake by Ben Roberts, who was caught trying to run the ball from behind the posts and his stray pass was punished by Handley.
Eden's 31st try of the season brought the game level as he grounded in the corner, while Leeds' Danny McGuire was sin-binned for arguing with the official.
Gale, who earlier been successful from the tee with the conversion, added a penalty to edge Castleford into a two-point lead, before Eden had a try disallowed for offside as the half drew to a close.
Castleford extended their narrow half-time lead thanks to a fantastic solo try from Hardaker, who cut through three players before running clear and side-stepping last man Liam Sutcliffe.
Gale's clever bobbling kick along the ground was snapped up by Millington as the Tigers went 20-6 ahead.
Leeds refused to lie down and Cuthbertson slid in after hesitation in the Castleford defence, but the leaders hit back again as Gale's penalty and drop goal took his personal tally to 11 points - and secured a seventh successive win for the Tigers at Headingley.
Leeds coach Brian McDermott believes the League Leaders' Shield is destined for Castleford, saying:
"I think Cas have got that. It's maybe not in the cupboard but the cupboard doors are open and waiting.
"I'm really proud of a group of men that keep showing up for each other and defending as they did.
"But I couldn't be any more disappointed with what Castleford didn't have to defend. I don't think we'll be as poor as that again this year with the ball."
Castleford coach Daryl Powell:
"We were awesome. Defensively we were superb. It was one of those nights you might see at the end of the season, so I thought it was quite symbolic for us.
"We played enough tonight without going over the top. Luke Gale's control of the game was absolutely outstanding. It was an excellent performance from us in tough conditions.
"We would have got rid of a few doubts about us as a team tonight which I'm really pleased with."

Erol Incedal plotted to attack a "significant individual" or killings similar to the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which left 174 dead, prosecutors said.
He also had a phone containing material supporting Islamic State, they added.
Mr Incedal, 26, from London, denies preparing for acts of terrorism. He is being tried partly in secret.
The jury heard Mr Incedal had no settled plan of attack. But the prosecution suggested the possession of the Blairs' address was significant.
Prosecutor Richard Whittam QC said the prosecution believed Mr Incedal was planning an attack on "a number of individuals, an individual of significance or an... indiscriminate attack such as that in Mumbai in 2008."
He added: "Count 1 does not suggest that Erol Incedal had settled on a specific target or a particular methodology but in the context of the case as a whole and the evidence that I am going to come to, you may think that this address does have some significance."
The court was later told of email messages between Mr Incedal and an unknown correspondent.
An alleged coded word referred to "k 11 22 aaa shhh", which prosecutors say may have referred to Kalashnikov rifles.
Another, which mentioned "mo88m 55bayy style", could be interpreted as Mumbai-style attack, the jury heard.
Earlier, the jury heard that Mr Incedal was initially stopped by police on 30 September 2013 and that investigators used that opportunity to place a bug in his Mercedes. He and another man, Mounir Rarmoul-Bouhadjar, were arrested weeks later in October when policed stopped their car in East London.
Mr Whittam told the jury that each man was carrying an iPhone which was held in a protective case. Between the phone and the case was a memory card which allegedly contained a document relating to bomb-making.
Last week Rarmoul-Bouhadjar pleaded guilty to possessing material useful for terrorism, the jury were told.
The court also heard an iPhone recovered during the investigation included photographs of a synagogue and material supporting Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria and Iraq.
Jurors were told on Monday that parts of the trial would never become public.
Proceedings on Tuesday afternoon are being heard behind closed doors - jurors are banned from ever disclosing what they hear.
Ten journalists will be locked in the room with them to observe proceedings. They will also never be allowed to reveal what is said during the sessions.
Mr Justice Nicol said: "This trial has some unusual features. The usual way that justice is administered is in public. Some of this trial will be conducted in that way.
"However, there will be other sessions of this trial that will be conducted in private. The public will not be able to attend these."
He added that there would be a third part of the trial where even those accredited journalists would be excluded from hearing the evidence.
"This is another reason why you must not talk about the private proceedings with anyone else outside of your number," said the judge. | A terror suspect was considering an indiscriminate Mumbai-style attack and had an address for Tony Blair and his wife, Cherie, the Old Bailey has heard. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "29609660"} | 680 | 36 | 0.377422 | 1.044429 | -0.10008 | 1.233333 | 19.766667 | 0.7 |
The UK's unemployment rate remained at 4.9%, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
According to the ONS, the number of people on the claimant count in July, the first month since the Brexit vote, was 763,600, down 8,600 from June.
Wages excluding bonuses rose 2.3% in the three months to June compared with a year earlier, the ONS said.
Including bonuses, earnings growth was 2.4%.
"The labour market continued on a strong trend in the second quarter of 2016, with a new record employment rate," said ONS statistician David Freeman.
"However, little of today's data cover the period since the result of the EU referendum became known, with only claimant count and vacancies going beyond June - to July for the former and to May-July for the latter," he added.
The jobless total is now at its lowest for eight years, while the unemployment rate is at its lowest since the summer of 2005, according to the ONS figures.
The employment rate reached a record high of 74.5%, with 31.8 million people in work in the three months to June - 172,000 more than the previous quarter.
Howard Archer of IHS Global Insight said that the UK economy showed "impressive resilience in the run-up to the EU referendum and the immediate aftermath of the vote to leave".
However, he warned: "It is premature to draw any firm conclusions from this... It remains likely that softening economic activity and heightened uncertainty will take a toll on the labour market over the coming months."
Hargreaves Lansdowne economist Ben Brettell said that while forward-looking surveys to gauge business confidence had suggested the Brexit vote had delivered a shock, "surveys are driven by sentiment, and can therefore overreact".
"The dramatic fall in confidence may not ultimately be borne out by activity, and today's claimant count number is a tentative sign that things might not turn out as bad as many predicted," he said. | The UK unemployment total fell by 52,000 to 1.64 million between April and June, official figures indicate. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "37105028"} | 441 | 22 | 0.467404 | 1.038994 | 0.193193 | 0.736842 | 20.631579 | 0.631579 |
The team manager was speaking as she added midfielders Chloe Arthur and Joelle Murray, plus defender Vaila Barsley, to her warm-up party.
Arsenal 26-year-old Little misses out with a cruciate ligament injury.
"Losing a player like Kim is obviously upsetting for the team," said Signeul. "We are devastated for Kim."
Signeul had hoped to add the midfielder to her squad as the Scots host Romania at Falkirk Stadium on 9 June before travelling to take on Sweden on 13 June as they prepare for this summer's finals in Netherlands.
But Little, who has 117 caps and had been suffering from a niggling injury, picked up a cruciate ligament problem during training with her club.
Signeul said it was a blow for the midfielder to suffer such an injury "at such a bad time" but urged her to now target helping Scotland to the 2019 World Cup finals in France.
"We wish her well in her recovery and hope to see her back in a Scotland jersey soon," said the Scotland boss.
"The important thing for Kim now is to concentrate on returning to full fitness.
"She is young and will have the chance to represent Scotland at other major championships in the future.
"But we will continue to focus on our preparations for the Euros as planned to ensure that we make the nation proud."
Hibernian 30-year-old Murray has returned to fitness after missing the recent friendly defeat by Belgium, while Bristol City 22-year-old Arthur also missed that game.
Barsley, the English-born 29-year-old who plays for Eskilstuna United in the Swedish top flight, made her debut in that 5-0 loss in Belgium.
"Vaila did very well in her debut against Belgium last month and we want to give her another opportunity to stake her claim for a place in the squad for the Euros," added Signeul.
"We are very happy to have Joelle return to fitness after missing the last match, while Chloe has done very well for Bristol during the spring and we are excited to have her in the squad."

The moves aims to plug "potential leaks from work e-mails and shared documents amid heightened security threats," the Straits Times newspaper said.
Officials said employees across government would also be barred from forwarding any work-related information to personal emails.
Singaporeans have responded with shock and scepticism online.
Some people thought the move contradicted Singapore's much-promoted Smart Nation technology initiative.
Others thought the suggestion that the measure could also apply to teachers, who do not deal with much sensitive information, was extreme.
The Straits Times said a memo was sent to all government agencies, ministries and statutory boards announcing the restrictions.
The Infocomm Development Authority (IDA), the agency in charge of the change, said it would guard against cyber-attacks and create a "more secure working environment", Channel News Asia reported.
An IDA spokesperson told the BBC: "The Singapore Government regularly reviews our IT security to make our IT network more secure.
"We have started to separate internet access from the work stations of a selected group of public service officers, and will do so for the rest of the public service officers progressively over a one-year period."
It will eventually apply to all 100,000 public service computers.
Some Singaporeans on social media have speculated whether a specific security breach sparked the move. Officials would not say if this was the case.
Like many other countries, Singapore has had previous incidents of cyber attacks, including Anonymous group hacking the prime minister's official website in 2013.
Employees will still have email. They will also be able to access the web on their personal devices and there will be dedicated internet terminals.
Local media had reported that employees would simply be able to forward work e-mails to private accounts, if they wanted to click on links.
This caused many to point out that would actually increase the chances of an information leak, and encourage employees to do more work on their personal devices which are less secure.
But the IDA spokesperson said this was not the case and that forwarding work emails would be prohibited.
Public servants will, however, be allowed to forward non-work e-mails to their private accounts, the spokesperson clarified.
This is a very rare move for a government to make.
Banks sometimes limit which of their employees have internet access, keeping it to client-facing staff only. Or they limit access to certain websites that may be harmful.
File sharing is often restricted in companies for security reasons, as employees may accidentally download malware from websites or share sensitive information online. | Public servants in Singapore will be blocked from accessing the internet on work computers from May next year. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36476422"} | 543 | 22 | 0.514921 | 1.429478 | 0.393533 | 1.052632 | 26.789474 | 0.842105 |

The 21-year-old heads for Edgbaston on Friday night looking to do to the same to the Birmingham Bears as he did to Durham's bowlers a week ago.
Inside 53 electric minutes, he blasted 14 fours and eight sixes in a stunning new county T20 record score of 127.
"Tom's innings was very special," Rhodes told BBC Hereford & Worcester.
"He can hit a beautiful straight ball. He struck a couple of sixes straight into New Road, which were magnificent.
"If you look at the direction of a lot of his sixes, they were very straight and that's nice to see because sometimes he can drag it a little bit and get into trouble. He also fielded extremely well, taking three good boundary catches."
Malvern College-educated Kohler-Cadmore got to his hundred in just 43 balls, only just failing to surpass former Worcestershire skipper Ben Smith's fastest-ever century for the county.
Smith was marginally quicker on the way to making 105 off 45 balls against Glamorgan at New Road in 2005.
But it supplanted Graeme Hick's 116 not out against Northamptonshire at Luton in 2004 as the highest score by a Worcestershire batsman in the T20.
And, more importantly, the 38-run victory got the five-times quarter-finalists off to a winning start as they bid to shed the unwanted statistic of being one of only counties (the others are Derbyshire) who have never made it to Finals Day.
Worcestershire then followed up their Friday night run fest with another eye-catching performance in the Championship this week, bowling out Leicestershire for 43 inside 25 overs to claim their first victory of the season in the long form of the game too.
"I've been involved in some crazy days of cricket over my career," said Rhodes. "And that was certainly one of them. The bowling and fielding was outstanding."
Birmingham Bears will New Zealand international wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi making his home debut on Friday night in a private contest of four Kiwis that throws him and his new Bears team-mate Jeetan Patel up against Worcestershire pair Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry.
After a winning start at Trent Bridge last Friday night, Ronchi admits: "I can't wait. The crowds really came out for the first T20 of the season at Nottingham. That was fantastic and we're hoping we can get another win under our belts.
"It should be a good crowd," said Bears captain Ian Bell, who will be playing in his first T20 local Bears-Pears derby in seven years, due to his past England commitments.
The Bears may be on a downer after losing Chris Woakes to England this week, then going on to lose a Championship game they should have won against Durham.
But Bell points out: "It would be nice to win and get back on the horse straightaway.
"Worcestershire are now a fantastic T20 side with two good overseas players and some batters that look good at that form of the game.
"We've got a few niggles and it's exciting that we might see a few of the younger lads. But any T20 home game is good, particularly against Worcestershire at home.
"It's my first against them for a long time and it should be a great night. Everyone loves a derby."
Twenty 20 cricket is now into its 14th year in the English summer calendar - and the Bears have so far experienced 24 short-form encounters with their old local rivals Worcestershire.
Worcestershire held the upper hand in the two sides' early years of T20 combat, winning four of the first five. But they have had slim pickings since, winning just four more times and their overall total of eight victories now stands now stand well shy of the Bears' 14, with two abandonments.
But, having lost of their last seven T20 Pears-Bears contests, maybe the prospect of playing for silverware might help, especially as the cup, the Gifford Trophy will be played in honour of one of their most famous former players, former England slow left-arm spinner Norman Gifford.
Lancashire-born Gifford played for Worcestershire for 22 years, from 1960 to 1982, playing 15 Tests and captaining his adopted county for 10 seasons. But, as he then went on a further six seasons with Warwickshire as player, the last three of them as captain, the cup has been named in his honour.
The Norman Gifford Trophy itself is not a new piece of silverware. It was first contested by Warwickshire and Worcestershire in three List 'A' matches between 1967 and 1969 as the Mackeson Trophy. | Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes says that the beauty of Tom Kohler-Cadmore's batting is the straightness of his hitting. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36371942"} | 1,069 | 34 | 0.392395 | 1.148225 | -0.052065 | 1.125 | 37.791667 | 0.708333 |
The Luther star's production company, Green Door Pictures, will collaborate with BBC Three on the films from new writers.
Established names will work alongside new actors for the series.
BBC Three controller Damian Kavanagh vowed the channel, which goes online next month, would be bold, British and creative.
He has a budget of £30m a year for creative ideas, he said at an event to launch the new-look channel.
Elba, widely considered to have been overlooked for an Oscars nomination for his role in Beasts of No Nation, said: "I'm looking forward to working with BBC Three and giving new writers and actors a chance to show what they can do."
Kavanagh said the short films, made in conjunction with BBC Drama in-house, would be set in London, featuring "chance encounters between two people".
New programmes for the channel also include Clique, focusing on two friends starting university in Edinburgh, magic show Life Hacks with Ben Hart and Unsolved: The Boy who Disappeared which tells the true story of the disappearance of a teenager two decades ago.
BBC Three programmes including Stacey Dooley Investigates and Life and Death Row will still be available when the switchover happens on 16 February.
Kavanagh said: "We're reinventing our offer for young people and this is just the start. We will be bold, we will be British and we will be creative."
The channel is introducing two new formats for online - The Daily Drop, home to a stream of daily content, and The Best Of, bringing together original long-form programmes and new content, including short films.
BBC director general Tony Hall said: "We are the first broadcaster in the world to work out what it's going to be like in this on-demand world.
"This is new and let's be clear, it's also risky, but risky in the way it should be risky because if we don't take risks, who's going to?"
He applauded BBC Three for making programmes that "provoke such strong reactions" and emphasised the importance of finding new talent.
"I want people to look back on the new BBC Three as being the place that spotted the next James Corden, the next Aidan Turner, the next Sheridan Smith," he said.
Switchover night will include the first episode of Cuckoo, the first film from the new series of Life and Death Row, and Live from the BBC, featuring new British comedians.

Gobinda Chinweefat, 26, was arrested near the scene of a burglary in Didsbury, Manchester, on Friday night.
A short time later, he complained of chest pains and police called an ambulance to take him to hospital.
While driving along Kingsway, Mr Chinweefat opened the ambulance doors and jumped out. Greater Manchester Police said he could be seriously hurt.
Det Insp Kevin Marriott said the ambulance had been travelling at between 20 and 30mph (40 to 48km/h) when Mr Chinweefat jumped out.
He landed on his back but immediately got up and ran away through a tunnel linking Kingsway to Brailsford Road.
"We are making every effort to find him," said Det Insp Marriott

Speaking in London, he said: "Take a longer, more optimistic view of history."
Earlier, the US president visited the Globe theatre and watched actors perform scenes from Hamlet.
It came a day after he said Britain would be at "the back of the queue" for US trade deals if it left the EU.
His comments angered Leave campaigners. UKIP leader Nigel Farage accused him of doing Downing Street's "bidding" and "talking down Britain" and Tory Liam Fox said his views were "irrelevant".
Following his appearance at Lindley Hall in London, Mr Obama met Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Mr Corbyn said he had had an "excellent" discussion with the president on issues including the challenges facing post-industrial societies, the power of global corporations, technology, inequality, poverty, and "very briefly" the subject of Europe.
Taking questions from young people at the earlier town-hall event, Mr Obama said change takes time.
"If any of you begin to work on an issue that you care deeply about, don't be disappointed if a year out things haven't been completely solved," he said.
"Don't give up and succumb to cynicism if after five years poverty has not been eradicated and prejudice is still out there somewhere and we haven't resolved all of the steps we need to take to reverse climate change."
Progress is "not inevitable" but must be fought for over the long term, he said.
Mr Obama said it was "inspiring" meeting young people, which "gives [him] new ideas".
Asked about security and attitudes to Muslims, he said keeping people safe and preventing terrorist attacks in the US and UK was "one of our biggest challenges".
The US president said there was "a tiny subset of groups that have perverted Islam" and our "greatest allies" in tackling extremism in the US were those "Muslim Americans who are historically fully integrated in our society".
He said Islamophobia was not only wrong but "as a practical matter... self-defeating behaviour if we are serious about terrorism".
Being careful with language used in relation to Muslims and respecting people's faiths were "security matters, not just feel-good, liberal political correctness", he said.
Mr Obama also praised Prime Minister David Cameron for being "ahead of the curve" on LGBT rights issues.
He said the campaign for marriage equality in the US and elsewhere had "probably been the fastest set of changes in terms of a social movement that [he'd] seen".
Asked about his legacy as president, Mr Obama said he would not have a sense until 10 years from now.
But he added: "I'll look at a scorecard at the end... I think that I have been true to myself."
He mentioned changes he had made to the US healthcare system: "That's something I'm proud of," he said.
"And saving the world economy from a great depression, that was pretty good."
Asked about skills in dealing with political opponents and finding common ground, Mr Obama said: "If you spend time with people who just agree with you, you become even more extreme in your convictions.
"Seek out people who don't agree with you. That will teach you to compromise.
"Compromise does not mean surrendering what you believe."
Mr Obama's comments came on the second full day of his three-day visit to the UK, and weeks ahead of the 23 June in-out referendum.
Speaking at a joint news conference with Mr Cameron on Friday, Mr Obama said the US "wants Britain's influence to grow - including within Europe".
"The UK is at its best when it's helping to lead a strong European Union. It leverages UK power to be part of the EU.
"I don't think the EU moderates British influence in the world, it magnifies it." | US President Barack Obama has urged young people to "reject pessimism and cynicism" and "know that progress is possible and problems can be solved". | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "36119829"} | 862 | 40 | 0.417282 | 1.112021 | 0.519248 | 1.206897 | 27.344828 | 0.724138 |
Prosecutors said the men were in constant contact with IS in Syria through Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the leader of the attacks in Paris last November.
He was killed in a shootout in Paris days after the attacks in which 130 people were murdered.
The Verviers cell was planning an attack in Belgium, prosecutors said.
Molenbeek's gangster jihadists
"The cell in Verviers aimed for the bloodiest possible attacks using bombs and automatic weapons," Judge Pierre Hendrickx said.
"For Abaaoud and the Verviers cell, the airport at Zaventem constituted a target," he added.
The airport was eventually targeted in March by militants who were also connected to Abaaoud. Two men detonated suicide vests, killing 17 people.
What we know about the Brussels attacks
Who were the victims?
Marouane El Bali, Souhaib El Abdi and Mohamed Arshad were charged with forming a terror organisation and given 16 years. Omar Damache was jailed for eight years on the same charge.
The men had returned from fighting with IS in Syria and a cache of explosives and weapons was found in the building where they lived, prosecutors said.
Paris and Brussels bombers' links uncovered
Two other men, Sofiane Amghar and Khalid Ben Larbi - who were killed in the Verviers raid - had also travelled to Syria.
A total of 16 suspects were charged in connection with the raid last January, but nine remain on the run.

The Fochabers-based family business is famed for its soups and preserves.
A spokeswoman for the company said: "The Baxter family confirm with great sadness that Mrs Ena Baxter passed away on Thursday (15 January).
"The family respectfully requests privacy at this difficult time."
Mrs Baxter and her late husband Gordon - who died in 2013, aged 95 - built up the firm from a cottage industry into an international food group over a period of 50 years.

David Clarke, 26, who had learning difficulties, was beaten to death in his flat at Forthriver Road on 6 June 2001.
At the time, police said it was one of the most savage and brutal killings they had ever dealt with.
Det Ch Insp Alan Dickson said the inquiry had been re-opened after detectives received new information.
Mr Clarke's body was found in his flat later on the day of his death by friends who were concerned for him.
He had been an "inoffensive and vulnerable" man and died after an "increasingly frenzied" assault, DCI Dickson said.
"I have been a police officer for 28 years and a murder detective for 13 of those years," he said.
"Apart from the wounds sustained by gunshot victims, David's injuries are the worst I have seen.
"This was a frenzied and savage attack."
Police said Mr Clarke had been bullied in the weeks leading up to his murder.
DCI Dickson said there was no paramilitary involvement in the murder and people should not be concerned about bringing information forward.
"This was an incident in which a vulnerable young man, who was no threat to anyone, was savagely beaten because he was an easy target.
"The community took David to its heart - people helped to pay for his funeral, his grave is tended to this day by locals and his old flat is now a community centre known locally as Clarke House.
"The information needed to apprehend David's killer, or killers, lies within the local community at Forthriver and Glencairn.
"Even though there were a number of arrests in the original investigation, there is a sense that this is a forgotten murder.
"It has certainly not been forgotten by police or, probably, by those involved." | Police have re-opened an investigation into the murder of a man in north Belfast 14 years ago. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "34957677"} | 420 | 23 | 0.455558 | 1.133586 | -0.331357 | 1.15 | 17.8 | 0.75 |
The Commission said the EU was aiming to phase out animal testing, but it was still too early to ban tests on live animals conducted for medical research.
The campaign group Stop Vivisection gathered 1.1 million signatures in a bid to change the law.
The Commission says a 2010 directive allowing animal tests will remain law.
It sets out detailed animal welfare rules for scientists conducting lab tests on animals.
Drug treatments and chemical toxicity are two of the most important research areas for such tests, and in most cases mice or rats are used. Cosmetics cannot be tested on animals under EU law.
There is often controversy about how closely animal tests can mimic human biology and scientists are refining alternatives, such as computer models.
Labs in the 28-nation EU used 11.5 million animals in experiments in 2011, according to the most recent official data available. France, Germany and the UK accounted for 55% of the total number.
In its response to the Stop Vivisection petition, submitted under an EU mechanism called "European Citizens' Initiative (ECI)", the Commission said that "for the time being, animal experimentation remains important for protecting human and animal health, and for maintaining an intact environment.
"While working towards the ultimate goal of full replacement of animals, Directive 2010/63/EU is an indispensable tool at the EU level to protect those animals still required. The Directive implements the Three Rs - to replace, reduce and refine animal use in Europe."
Under EU rules the Commission has to consider legislative changes if more than a million people in at least seven EU countries sign a petition on a particular issue.
The Commission said it "welcomes the mobilisation of citizens in support of animal welfare" and will organise an EU conference on animal testing "by 2016" to review the progress made towards reducing such tests.
Its response to the petition was welcomed by several research scientists, quoted by the Science Media Centre.
Nancy Lee at the Wellcome Trust said the Commission had recognised "the crucial role that the carefully regulated use of animals in research has in improving human and animal health and advancing modern medicine".
Prof Jan Schnupp, a neuroscientist at Oxford University, said strong animal welfare safeguards were in place in the EU and animal tests were carried out "only if these experiments have passed tight scrutiny by independent ethics boards".
More than half of those who signed the petition were in Italy, where it was launched.
Nick Palmer, head of policy at the UK anti-vivisection group Cruelty Free International, said the UK "is one of the largest users of animals in research in Europe and the UK is particularly secretive".
Speaking to the BBC, he said UK researchers do not have to publish full details of such experiments, whereas in much of Europe they do. He also complained that the number of such tests had risen in the UK.
"We are pleased in principle that the Commission is saying explicitly they think animal experiments should be phased out, but we're unhappy with the absence of any clear strategy to do so," he said. | An EU-wide campaign to stop laboratory experiments on animals has failed to persuade the European Commission to impose a ban. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "33015460"} | 647 | 30 | 0.50704 | 1.233221 | 0.087264 | 0.956522 | 26.391304 | 0.782609 |
Gal Gadot was formerly in the Israeli army. Military service is compulsory in the country.
The Lebanese interior ministry banned the film hours before its release, on a recommendation from the General Security directorate, reports say.
The nations are officially at war, but have observed a ceasefire since 2006.
A formal request to ban Wonder Woman was first made by the Ministry of Economy and Trade, which oversees a long-standing policy of boycotting Israeli exports, which it considers "enemy attempts to infiltrate our markets".
But the decision took cinemas by surprise. One of the first indications that the ban was approved came from Lebanon's Grand Cinemas chain, which tweeted on Wednesday: "#WonderWoman has been banned in #Lebanon."
Just 12 hours before, it had responded to a follower's concerns, saying: "It won't be banned dear."
The film was due to have had its Lebanese premiere in Beirut the same night.
Film distributor Tony Chacra of the company Joseph Chacra and Sons said that decision was "very frustrating". "The movie has nothing to do with Israel," he told the Reuters news agency.
As news of a possible ban spread, Lebanese users on social media site Reddit said publicity for the movie had been high.
"I am Lebanese and I'm seeing ads for WW everywhere in Beirut. Pretty much everyone of my friends want to see it. This is just a vocal minority [against it]," one user wrote.
Ms Galdot has previously appeared as Wonder Woman in 2016's Batman v Superman, which was shown in Lebanese cinemas.
The Ministry of Economy and Trade had requested that movie be banned on the same basis, but was not successful.
Lebanon and Israel have no diplomatic relations.
Lebanon's Hezbollah movement fought a brief war against Israeli forces in 2006. Since then, a United Nations-monitored ceasefire has largely been observed.
However, there have been occasional border clashes between the two countries, and Israel has targeted Hezbollah with strikes in Syria in recent years. | Lebanon has banned superhero blockbuster Wonder Woman from cinemas, because the title character is played by an Israeli actress. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "40114370"} | 479 | 25 | 0.569634 | 1.555938 | -0.451007 | 0.714286 | 19.285714 | 0.619048 |

The world champion was 0.351 seconds clear of Daniil Kvyat's Red Bull in second place and 0.719secs ahead of Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg.
The German was fourth, behind the second Red Bull of Daniel Ricciardo.
Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was fifth with team-mate Sebastian Vettel seventh after two spins, behind Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz.
Hamilton was also quickest in the first session and was more than 0.7secs quicker than Rosberg on the medium tyre earlier in the session, as well as on the soft tyre on his qualifying simulation run.
The world champion looks already as if he will be tough to beat this weekend, on a race track where he has won four of the eight races in which he has competed.
"It was really good fun, but incredibly hot - hotter than a sauna," said Hamilton. "I lost over a kilo just then so it is going to be tough in the race.
"This morning I was thinking maybe this is my favourite track. It is so fun to drive - the combination of corners... It's bumpy, it feels old school."
Rosberg had a second attempt to try to close the gap to Hamilton but was already 0.6secs down when he aborted the lap after a mistake at Turn 12.
Red Bull's pace suggests that they could potentially emerge as the second quickest team behind Mercedes this weekend, as the twists and turns of the Hungaroring emphasise their strong chassis and play down the power deficit of the Renault engine.
The Red Bulls were also impressively fast on their race-simulation runs later in the session, Ricciardo in particular lapping consistently quicker than the Mercedes until he suffered an engine failure, bringing his session to a premature end.
"His race run was looking pretty competitive," team principal Christian Horner said, confirming that Ricciardo would not suffer a grid penalty because the team would fit an engine for the rest of the weekend that had already been used this season.
Ricciardo said: "Low fuel was pretty good, we can still clean it up a bit, but high fuel we're pretty much there. I won't get too excited yet, though."
BBC F1 analyst Allan McNish said: "The Red Bull pace looks genuine - I think they have stepped up into second place overall, for this race at least.

"They have a chance of the podium but it will be pretty tight on Saturday as we know Williams always run very conservatively on Fridays."
McLaren's Fernando Alonso was eighth with team-mate Jenson Button 12th, the Williams cars of Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa were ninth and 10th and Toro Rosso's Max Verstappen came 11th.
It was an encouraging performance from McLaren. Their Honda engine is significantly less competitive even than the Renault but, like Red Bull, the car is reasonably competitive.
Force India did not run at all as they investigated the cause of a violent crash suffered by Sergio Perez in the first session.
The Mexican was pitched into a spin by a rear suspension failure after he ran wide over a low kerb and the team were not prepared to risk team-mate Nico Hulkenberg until they could be sure what had happened.

The Scottish Veterans Fund helps projects provide services in areas such as employment, housing, and wellbeing.
Veterans Secretary Keith Brown said the Scottish government had pledged £360,000 - its largest contribution yet.
The fund will open for applications this autumn.
The boost includes a three-year £240,000 contribution from Edinburgh-based investment company Standard Life for employment schemes.
Mr Brown said: "For the past eight years, the Scottish government's Scottish Veterans Fund has been a source of help for projects that make a vital difference to people's lives.
"I am delighted to announce our largest contribution yet, with the fund to be supported by £360,000 of Scottish government money over three years.
"This will ensure it continues to help small, one-year projects - while, for the first time, applicants can bid for two or three-year funding for more strategic projects.
"I'm particularly grateful to Standard Life for their commitment, bringing the total available to £600,000 over three years.
"This investment will enable charities and other organisations to provide even more support to veterans leaving the armed forces and settling in Scotland each year."

Amnesty International, Liberty and Privacy International filed a legal complaint with the court today.
The scale of the surveillance carried out by GCHQ has been revealed by US whistleblower Edward Snowden.
A similar legal challenge mounted in the UK last year saw judges rule that the spying did not breach human rights.
"The UK government's surveillance practices have been allowed to continue unabated and on an unprecedented scale, with major consequences for people's privacy and freedom of expression," said Nick Williams, legal counsel for Amnesty in a statement.
The three organisations claim that the surveillance carried out by GCHQ breaches the European Convention on Human Rights that enshrines certain freedoms in law.
The surveillance carried out by GCHQ has been subject to a series of legal challenges since National Security Agency documents provided by Edward Snowden started to appear in the media.
In December, the Investigatory Powers Tribunal that oversees the work of the intelligence services ruled that GCHQ's spying did not violate Britons' human rights and was a legitimate way to gather intelligence.
In February, a separate ruling by the IPT found that the spy agency's surveillance programme was unlawful because the processes governing how GCHQ gathered and shared information were not public enough.
Amnesty acknowledged these rulings in its statement but said the "secretive" nature of IPT hearings meant there was little transparency about the way GCHQ was being policed. This, it said, undermined the faith people had in official oversight of the agency.
Information that had come to light in the last 12 months showed, said Amnesty, that there were flaws in the oversight system. One revelation concerned arrangements GCHQ has with its US counterparts to get at data it would be difficult for the UK agency to get permission to acquire.
There were also loopholes in UK laws governing surveillance being exploited by GCHQ to expand its spying abilities, it said. | Rights groups have asked the European Court of Human Rights to rule on the legality of the UK's large-scale surveillance regime. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "32251699"} | 421 | 28 | 0.548112 | 1.244577 | 0.286997 | 1 | 14.32 | 0.76 |
The Pro12 sides meet on Sunday at Murrayfield and then again at Scotstoun on 2 January.
As well as league points, the teams will be battling to win the 1872 Cup over two legs.
"Dealing with pressure is really, really important," said former Edinburgh and Scotland back Paterson.
"Your opportunities could be very, very few and far between. Your opportunity could be in the opening five minutes of the opening game and you've got to take it.
"You may not get another opportunity because everybody will be so tense over the two games. That's the key thing - keeping a calm head under pressure.
"You need some of your players, obviously, to get wound up and be more aggressive than others but you need the decision makers to be really clear under pressure and strike when you have opportunity to because there won't be a huge amount of opportunities."
Paterson, now an MBE, does some coaching with the Warriors and had two spells at Edinburgh as he became Scotland's most-capped and highest scoring player.
"It's your typical derby in many ways," he said of meetings of Scotland's two professional sides. "It's fiercely competitive on the field and off the field. There's a great tradition that the supporters compete as well.
"On the field, it's real - it's hard rugby, it's meaningful rugby, it's league points at stake but there's an 1872 trophy at stake as well.
"There's a real edge to it. What we have now is two teams that are really strong, really competitive. We've got reigning [Pro12] champions in Glasgow and you've got an Edinburgh team that are vastly improving - final of the European [Challenge Cup] last year.
"All that goes out the window when you come head-to-head. It comes down to you against your opposite number in a derby match and it's hard.
"They will be close. You've got two teams playing towards the top of their games, over two legs, it's an aggregate score in the 1872 Cup. The team that wins the first leg has a huge advantage." | Chris Paterson believes "a calm head under pressure" could be the key to success in Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors' annual double-header. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35161831"} | 480 | 30 | 0.575806 | 1.525041 | 0.498602 | 1.703704 | 16.074074 | 0.740741 |
The Proteas, chasing 492, lost three wickets for five runs in eight balls but recovered to close on 117-4.
It could have been better for England had opener Dean Elgar, unbeaten on 72, not been dropped by Keaton Jennings.
The hosts earlier moved from 74-1 to 313-8 declared, with Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root and debutant Tom Westley making half-centuries.
It can be argued that Root, declaring for the first time as Test captain, was conservative in waiting until the stroke of tea to end England's second innings, but his side are still on course to take a 2-1 lead in the four-match series.
South Africa would have to become only the fourth team to bat through the fifth day to save a Test after being four wickets down overnight.
England were helped by favourable bowling conditions when they dismissed South Africa for 175 in the first innings. Here, they had to be even better in the south London sunshine.
Elgar was reprieved at third slip by a diving Jennings off the bowling of James Anderson, but then watched from the other end as the Proteas crumbled.
A flat-footed Heino Kuhn was bowled by one that nipped back from Stuart Broad and Hashim Amla was caught at second slip when trying to leave Toby Roland-Jones, the second time in the match he has fallen to the debutant.
Ben Stokes then took over, first uprooting Quinton de Kock with a precision yorker and, next ball, Faf du Plessis offered no shot to be lbw, the same way he was dismissed in the first innings.
At 52-4, there was a thought that England could win inside four days, but Elgar found a willing ally in Temba Bavuma in an unbeaten stand of 65 that lasted for an hour and a half.
The crabby Elgar took a number of blows in between occasional drives and South Africa's unlikely hopes of saving the game rest mainly on him and the equally stoic Bavuma.
Resuming on 74-1 in ideal batting conditions, England had the pleasurable task of moving to a position from which Root felt safe to declare.
The hosts may have preferred under-pressure opener Jennings to make a telling contribution, only for the left-hander to fend Kagiso Rabada to gully after moving on from his overnight 34 to 48.
England's morning progress was untroubled, if not rapid, with Root (50) scoring through the off side and Westley (59) bringing up his maiden half-century with a classy clip through his favoured mid-wicket region.
Both fell trying to attack the left-arm spin of Keshav Maharaj and, when Dawid Malan was given lbw to Chris Morris on review, the rate was upped by Stokes and Bairstow.
Stokes, who made 31, heaved paceman Morris over cow corner for six, but the real entertainment came from Bairstow, who raced to 63 from 58 balls.
The highlights were a slog-sweep off Maharaj for six and a ramp over the slips off Rabada until he holed out to long-off to signal the declaration - not before Roland-Jones thumped two maximums of his own.
Ex-England captain Michael Vaughan: "Tom Westley was very good. I like players that don't seem to try to hit the ball hard, but time it very well to the boundary.
"On debut, in these conditions, he's faced a good bowling attack and gets a big tick from me. He's got a good temperament about him and he should be around for a while.
"At the minute, I don't think Keaton Jennings will be opening in this winter's Ashes but I do think England will stick with him for Old Trafford.
"At times he looked better but I still think he's struggling and I think he needs more energy in those legs, a little more oomph.
"At the minute he looks like a sitting duck. It's good he fought for his 48 but it was a great opportunity to get a hundred and he will know he will need more than 48 at Old Trafford."
England's Ben Stokes: "We always knew the target we wanted to be ahead when the day started. There wasn't really a massive plan until me and Jonny (Bairstow) started to play some more aggressive shots.
"There was a hint we might get 15 minutes before tea but Jimmy and Broady wanted to get into a rhythm rather than having to start again after a break."
Ex-South Africa captain Graeme Smith: "Well done to England, I thought they were very good, bar a declaration that maybe should have come 45 minutes earlier.
"If it wasn't for the late fight from Elgar and Bavuma it would have been very sorry for South Africa but those two have given them a glimmer of hope going into day five." | England are closing in on victory in the third Test after ripping through South Africa on day four at The Oval. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "40771333"} | 1,178 | 25 | 0.4183 | 0.980699 | -0.030328 | 1.181818 | 43.409091 | 0.818182 |
UN aid chief Stephen O'Brien told the Security Council that the plane dropped 21 tonnes of humanitarian items on a government-held part of Deir al-Zour.
Initial reports indicated that the aid had successfully reached the target area, Mr O'Brien said.
The UN says 200,000 civilians are living under siege in Deir al-Zour.
In a recent report, the UN said those trapped in the besieged areas were facing "sharply deteriorating conditions" with reports of "severe cases of malnutrition and deaths due to starvation".
Last week, more than 100 lorries carrying food and other basic goods reached 80,000 people in five other besieged areas of Syria. Two more convoys were sent to two towns besieged by government forces on Tuesday.
In another development on Wednesday, the main Syrian opposition umbrella group said it would respect a provisional ceasefire due to come into force on Saturday "for two weeks".
The statement from the High Negotiations Committee (HNC) came after the Syrian government also said it would observe the "cessation of hostilities" brokered by the US and Russia.
"Earlier this morning, a WFP (World Food Programme) plane dropped the first cargo of 21 tonnes of items into Deir al-Zour," Mr O'Brien told the Security Council.
He said teams from the Syrian Arab Red Crescent on the ground confirmed that "pallets have landed in the target area as planned".
BBC UN correspondent Nick Bryant says the air drop is a last resort by aid agencies after warring parties blocked access to the city.
Convoys of lorries are considered the most efficient form of delivery for much-needed supplies, he says.
The World Food Programme had previously ruled out humanitarian air drops in Syria due to the complexities of obtaining use of airspace, organising distribution on the ground, and finding suitable drop zones.
The UK government also said air drops were "high risk and should only be considered as a last resort when all other means have failed".
But Jan Egeland, who chairs a humanitarian taskforce, said last week that the strategy was the only way to feed people in Deir al-Zour.
The UN estimates that more than 480,000 Syrians are living in besieged areas, with four million more people in "hard-to-reach" areas.
Last week, convoys of aid lorries reached rebel-held Muadhamiya, Madaya and Zabadani, near Damascus, and pro-government northern villages of Foah and Kefraya.
The supplies are expected to last for about a month.
All sides in the civil war are believed to have used siege warfare, in which forces surround an area and cut off essential supplies, in breach of international law.
The temporary "cessation of hostilities" is scheduled to take effect across Syria on Saturday after midnight Damascus time (22:00 GMT Friday).
It excludes IS and the al-Qaeda-linked Nusra Front.
The Syrian government has said it will observe the partial ceasefire, but insists it will continue to fight IS, al-Nusra and "other terrorist groups linked to them".
On Tuesday, the HNC warned that its acceptance of the truce was "conditional" on the implementation of a UN resolution that calls on all parties to lift sieges, allow aid deliveries, halt aerial and artillery attacks on civilians, and release detainees. | The UN says it has carried out its first air drop of aid in Syria to help civilians in an eastern city besieged by Islamic State (IS) militants. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "35654483"} | 758 | 36 | 0.456671 | 1.198527 | 0.529035 | 1.258065 | 20.83871 | 0.806452 |

Sturridge, 26, who did not play in Sunday's 2-1 win over Turkey, was sidelined with an unspecified knock.
The Liverpool forward has had an injury-hit season for his club.
Friday's game is the last before boss Roy Hodgson trims three players from his provisional 26-man Euro 2016 squad.
"It is interesting because Sturridge is one of the players who Roy Hodgson said has a question mark over him," said BBC Sport senior football reporter Ian Dennis.
"Rashford will play on Friday night. This raises the prospect of him maybe starting and does it then increase the chances of him going to Euro 2016?
"I expect Hodgson to be pressed on the fitness of Sturridge at his news conference on Thursday."
Rashford, 18, scored eight goals in 18 appearances in his debut campaign for Manchester United.
Sturridge, who has five goals in 17 England caps, finished as Liverpool's top scorer this season with 13 goals, despite missing much of the campaign through injury.
The striker, along with Liverpool team-mates Adam Lallana, James Milner and Nathaniel Clyne, joined Hodgson's squad on Monday after playing and scoring in the 3-1 Europa League final loss to Sevilla.
Chelsea defender Gary Cahill, who had an injection in the days leading up to captaining England in the win over Turkey, also missed Wednesday's session.
Jamie Vardy, who scored the winner against Turkey, was the only other absentee after being given time off to get married.
Leicester team-mate Danny Drinkwater was there for the ceremony but returned in time for training in Manchester, where Jack Wilshere and Jordan Henderson were involved as they looked to prove their fitness.
Midfielder Eric Dier says he does not consider himself a definite starter for England despite having featured in all of their last five games.
"I wouldn't call myself a key member but it's been a crazy 12 months for me," said the 22-year-old, who helped Tottenham finish third in the Premier League.
"It's been a great 12 months and I'm really enjoying every minute of it. Hopefully I can repay the manager's faith and keep improving."

The 24-year-old led by three early in the final round but eventually had to rely on the Australian bogeying the last to finish tied on 11 under.
The duo played the 18th hole four more times before Willett claimed victory.
"I've had some ups and downs in the last 18 months and I want to thank everybody for their support," he said.
Willett had previously finished in the top 10 on 19 occasions without managing a win
The Sheffield-born golfer was leading by one shot at the start of the day's play and birdied the third and fourth holes to take a three-shot lead.
But his early progress stalled on the ninth hole when he three-putted, allowing Fraser to draw level, and further dropped shots followed on the 11th and 15th.
The first extra hole saw both golfers par the 18th with Fraser holing from 12-feet, before both bogeyed it at the next attempt, with Willett missing from four feet. At the third time of asking, they parred it again.
Fraser, twice a winner on the European Tour, looked favourite to land the first prize of nearly £270,000 when he was 30 feet away in two and the Yorkshireman went over the green.
But Willett chipped close, while Fraser saw his putt lip out and then missed a four-footer coming back to give the Englishman victory.

Felicity Bassouls, 67, of the Scottish Highlands, is said to have harassed the ex-Northampton Saints player after he separated from her daughter, last year.
She appeared at Northampton Magistrates' Court on two counts of harassment without violence.
The case was adjourned for trial at Corby Magistrates' Court on 12 August.
The harassment is alleged to have taken place in Northampton and elsewhere between 1 September and 29 October last year, against Cohen and Ms Bassouls' own son, Austen Blaney.
Cohen, 36, had denied rumours that his marriage ended after his appearances on the BBC One celebrity show.
He starred in the 2013 series with dancing partner Kristina Rihanoff but denied they had a relationship.
In a statement issued at the time of their break-up, the couple said: "Ben and Abby Cohen have agreed to take time apart to deal with some marital issues but remain fully committed to the welfare of their children.

The 34-year-old Kazakh (37-0) sent Jacobs to the canvas in round four on his way to a 115-112 115-112 114-113 victory on the judges' scorecards.
Victory edges Golovkin closer to a super-fight with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
"Of course, I'm ready [to fight Canelo]," Golovkin told HBO.
"I'm very hungry. I'm very mad and excited - I'm like an animal for this fight."
Golovkin's promoter Tom Loeffler claimed the Kazakh and Mexican Alvarez (48-1-1) have "agreed on a lot of points" after plans for a unification bout against Britain's WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders failed to materialise.
According to CompuBox, Golovkin outpunched 30-year-old Jacobs in New York - 231 to 175 - but the American, who is the first cancer survivor to win a world title, believed he had won the contest.

The rights group says the most deadly incident happened in Bahir Dar, where at least 30 people died on Sunday.
The authorities have said seven died in Bahir Dar and that security forces were reacting to violence from protesters.
There has been an unprecedented wave of protests in Ethiopia in recent months.
People in the Oromo and Amhara regions have been complaining about political and economic marginalisation.
Amnesty says that 67 people died when "security forces fired live bullets at peaceful protesters" in different towns and cities in the Oromo region over the weekend.
There were clashes between security forces and protesters on Sunday in Bahir Dar, the Amhara regional capital.
Opposition activists have given similar figures for the number of people killed.
The government has blamed "nearby and distant foreign enemies and social media activists" for defying warnings about holding unauthorised protests, the government-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate (FBC) reports.
The authorities have said that the demonstrators were destroying government and private property and "inflicting deaths on innocent citizens" and arrests were made as people were trying to spread the violence, FBC adds.
The United States, a close ally of the government, said it was "deeply concerned" by the violence and said the people's rights to demonstrate should be respected.
The unrest was sparked last November by a plan to expand the capital into Oromia. This led to fears farmers from the Oromo ethnic group, the largest in Ethiopia, would be displaced.
The plan was later dropped but protests continued, highlighting issues such as marginalisation and human rights.
New York-based Human Rights Watch says that more than 400 people have been killed in clashes with the security forces since protests began. The government has disputed this figure.
The Amharas are Ethiopia's second biggest ethnic group and used to form the country's elite. | Nearly 100 people were killed in the weekend's protests in Ethiopia as demonstrators clashed with security forces in different parts of the country, Amnesty International says. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "37015055"} | 413 | 39 | 0.581419 | 1.368388 | 0.455086 | 1.448276 | 12.310345 | 0.827586 |
Fiona Donnison, 45, of Lightwater, Surrey, had denied the murders of Harry, aged three, and two-year-old Elise, in a trial at Lewes Crown Court.
Their bodies were found in holdalls in the boot of Donnison's car, near the former family home in East Sussex.
Donnison was jailed for life, with a minimum tariff of 32 years, following the killings in January 2010.
Judge Mr Justice Nicol described the murders as "deliberate and wicked acts".
He said: "The premature end of such young lives would have been a tragedy, but this was no accident.
"You killed them, you who were their mother. Why you did this defies logical explanation.
"It seems it can only have something to do with your feelings for Paul Donnison, the children's father and your former partner."
Speaking outside court, Mr Donnison, 48, said the pain his family had suffered was "almost unbearable."
He also criticised the criminal justice system, saying it was "biased" in favour of the person on trial and his former partner had been treated "with kid gloves".
Following the sentencing, it can also be revealed that prosecutors attempted to have Donnison tried for the murder of her first child with Mr Donnison.
After the deaths of Harry and Elise, investigators decided to look again at the circumstances behind the death of nine-month-old Mia, who died of a suspected cot death in April 2004.
Prosecutors said that "taken together" there was sufficient evidence for a jury to consider a murder charge in her case.
But at a pre-trial hearing, Mr Justice Cooke ruled to dismiss the charge of murdering Mia, saying there was no direct evidence in relation to her death.
Donnison had earlier chosen to stay in the cells as the jury returned its unanimous guilty verdict.
Jurors heard claims Donnison, a former City worker, used the children as the "ultimate pawns", in her vendetta against their father.
Prosecutors told the court she smothered the children with their bedding before putting their bodies in the car.
Donnison declined to give evidence during the trial.
But the defence argued she had suffered from depression at the time and said the charges should be reduced to manslaughter.
Jurors heard from mental health professionals who said Donnison swallowed a blade from a pencil sharpener earlier this year, could not remember events surrounding the deaths and could not bring herself to say the children's names.
But prosecutors dismissed this, pointing to the level of planning involved in the killings.
One clinical psychologist said she believed Donnison to have been "100% likely to be feigning" psychological problems or symptoms.
Donnison was also described in court as a narcissist with an overdeveloped sense of self-importance and entitlement.
Prosecutor Libby Clark said: "Harry and Elise were regarded as delightful, well-mannered and affectionate children by all who came into contact with them.
"Their lives were ended in a sudden and brutal act of revenge by the their mother.
"The jury has accepted the Crown's case that Fiona Donnison was not the victim she portrayed herself to be, but a calculating killer of her own children." | A mother found guilty of murdering her two young children has been sentenced to a minimum of 32 years in prison. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "14459954"} | 767 | 26 | 0.388865 | 0.995257 | -0.442528 | 1.363636 | 28.909091 | 0.909091 |
Last year 252 children aged 12 and under were given antidepressants while in 2009/10 it was 57.
During the same period the numbers for all children under 18 doubled from 2,748 in 2009/10 to 5,572 last year.
The Scottish government said the increase reflected a rise in the number of young people seeking help.
There are no official guidelines for the treatment of depression in children and adolescents in Scotland.
However, there are NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidelines for England and Wales that doctors can refer to and be guided by.
NICE says antidepressants should be given to teenagers and children in conjunction with psychological talking therapies.
Fluoxetine, which is usually sold under the trade name Prozac, is the only drug recommended for under 18s "as this is the only antidepressant for which clinical trial evidence shows the benefits outweigh the risks".
The statistics obtained by the BBC from NHS Scotland's Information Services Division show that last year 45% of the under-18s were prescribed fluoxetine.
They also show that 41% of them were prescribed sertraline and 13% citalopram, which are the recommended second-line treatments if fluoxetine is "not tolerated".
Ten adolescents, aged 13-17, were prescribed paroxetine despite NICE guidelines saying "paroxetine should not be used for the treatment of depression in children and young people".
Dr Elaine Lockhart, chairman of the child and adolescent faculty at the Royal College of Psychiatrists in Scotland, said: "Antidepressants are prescribed for a range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, OCD and even for migraines and pain in some cases.
"This data does not indicate what the prescriptions are for, so it is impossible to ascertain precisely why prescriptions for antidepressants have increased.
"Without this information, it is wrong to assume that only depressed children have been prescribed medication."
Dr Lockhart added: "Antidepressants are an evidence-based treatment. When left untreated mental illnesses such as severe depression can cause extreme suffering, and stop children from enjoying their childhood."
She said antidepressants should only be used in under 18-year-olds on the recommendation of psychiatrists, who take the prescription of psychotropic medication "very seriously".
Dr Lockhart said they medications were used when anxiety or depressive symptoms had not responded adequately to psychological therapies alone.
They could also be used to reduce severe symptoms so the child or young person could then make use of psychological therapies, she said.
The Scottish government has said it believes doctors are using medication correctly.
Mental Health Minister Maureen Watt said: "Any prescribing is a clinical decision and there is good evidence that GPs assess and treat depression appropriately.
"We have worked hard to reduce the stigma faced by people with mental health problems. As this stigma declines we would expect more patients to seek help from their GPs for problems such as depression.
"People with mental illness should expect the same standard of care as people with physical illness and should receive medication if they need it."
The minister added: "The number of items prescribed has been increasing consistently over the last ten years.
"This reflects the substantial increase in demand for child and adolescent mental health services."
Julie says her depression was first picked up when she was nine or 10 after her parents became concerned about her mental health.
She did not receive antidepressants at that young age and the treatment "was mostly speaking to people and trying to get things off my chest".
For Julie, which is not her real name, talking therapies did not work.
"Things just got worse," she says.
"I didn't find any help in talking to people. They didn't accept there were some things I didn't want to talk about. They were very pushy trying to find out why I was upset."
When she was 14 Julie went to the doctor and was prescribed the antidepressant sertraline.
"At first I thought it helped," she says.
"I have never had very high self-esteem and I noticed very quickly that it helped with that.
"But after a couple of months I started noticing that I was maybe overconfident and a bit cocky, obnoxious, rude and inconsiderate towards other people. I was different to my usual self on it."
At first it was just mood swings but a few months on from that it turned into "destructive behaviour", which got her into trouble with the police.
"That wasn't me," she says
"The person I was when I was on that drug was someone unrecognisable to me and my family.
"I was a horrible person when I was on that medication. I had a lot of problems at the time but that just wasn't me. I've not been like that since or before it."
Julie says the dose of her medication was increased to deal with the symptoms but the side effects got worse and her behaviour became more erratic.
When she stopped taking the drugs, she says, she returned to herself within weeks.
"Very quickly the bad behaviour stopped, the intense emotions stopped and the anger went away.
"I'm 100% positive those problems started when I started taking Sertraline. Once I had taken myself off it those problems went away in a short space of time."
Julie is now 19 and looking back she says the way the drug was prescribed and monitored was wrong.
"The dose I was on was wrong and I wasn't made aware of the risks," she says.
"I think if someone is one it they should be checked on very frequently. It shouldn't just be left to them to deal with." | Four times as many children under 13 were prescribed antidepressants last year as just seven years ago, figures obtained by BBC Scotland show. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "40942741"} | 1,225 | 29 | 0.541226 | 1.463012 | 0.089795 | 1.08 | 44.84 | 0.76 |
The delays are affecting blood delivery service Serv, whose managers have complained about a lack of information.
Alan Rogers, Serv Surrey controller, said bikers had been affected by the roadworks on the Coopers Hill Viaduct.
The Highways Agency said drivers should allow an extra 40 minutes for journeys, especially if heading for Gatwick.
In peak times about 4,500 vehicles an hour use the section of the M23 between junctions eight, which joins the M25, and nine, for the airport.
Night-time closures and a variable contraflow system, which started last month and will last until the end of November, have been causing tailbacks on both carriageways.
Mr Rogers said Serv's bikers collected blood at night from Tooting in south London for distribution to hospitals in Surrey.
They also meet riders on the A23 at Hooley to transfer blood for hospitals in Kent and Sussex.
"We don't know which parts of what roads are going to be closed on any particular night and that makes planning quite difficult," he said.
"The challenge is getting to the liaison with the Kent or Sussex guys for our pre-arranged rendezvous time."
Peter Phillips, Highways Agency manager for the M23, said: "If you are trying to get to Gatwick then please give yourself plenty of time or find yourself an alternative means of travel.
"There is a very good rail link but if you have got to come by car leave yourself plenty of time.
"Our website is the best source of information."
Separate roadworks to widen the A23 between Handcross and Warninglid in West Sussex are coming to an end.

Over the past two weeks, almost every nation on the planet has sent a team of negotiators to Paris to pore over page after page of nuanced jargon peppered with what seemed like a world record attempt for the most square brackets in a document.
But these brackets did matter. In the tense talks at a conference centre in north Paris, semantics was king.
Negotiators inhabited a world were "shall" would result in something becoming legally binding and "should" actually meant voluntary, as BBC environment analyst Roger Harrabin explained here.
The fortnight kicked off with more than 150 world leaders, including Presidents Obama, Putin and Xi, descending on Paris to tell delegates that climate change was the most important issue facing us in the 21st Century.
Whether that was welcome support or unnecessary pressures it meant negotiators got down to business, often working through the night.
On Saturday evening - to claps, cheers and tears - a new landmark deal was born.
It was agreed by 195 nations. They will attempt to cut greenhouse gas emissions to a level that will limit the global average temperature to a rise "well below" 2C (3.6F) compared to pre-industrial levels - a level of warming deemed to be the point when dangerous climate change could threaten life on Earth.
You can read the final document here.
It depends on a multitude of factors - who you are, where you live, how you get from A to B, how you earn a living, how you spend your cash and how you like to spend your spare time.
If you live on a small low-lying island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the new agreement offers hope.
If nations manage to deliver then it could be the difference between having to flee your ancestral home and starting again thousands of miles away in an unfamiliar foreign land, or being able to plan and build for your family's future.
If you live in an industrialised, developed nation then it all depends on how committed governments and leading businesses are to achieving the goal. It could affect how much tax you pay, it could affect how much it will cost you to run a car - it may affect how much it costs you to feed and clothe you and your family.
But if nations do not commit to achieving the goal of limiting temperature rise to well below 2C, then the cost of adapting to the impact of a changing climate system will also affect the cost of living.
Numerous studies, including the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, say the cost of inaction will cost us all a great deal more than shifting to a decarbonised, climate-friendly way of life.
Some of it is legally binding within the United Nations framework. The regular review and submission of emission reduction targets will be binding.
So too will the $100bn fund from developed economies to help emerging and developing nations decarbonise their energy mix - which means moving away from burning fossil fuels to clean energy sources, such as renewables and nuclear.
What won't be legally binding will be the emission targets. These will be determined by nations themselves.
Within the agreement the targets are known as Intended National Determined Contributions (INDCs). To date, 187 countries have submitted their INDCs.
Observers have calculated that all of the targets, if delivered, will only curb warming by 2.7C. This is well above, not well below, the 2.0C goal of the Paris Agreement.
This begs the question why the targets themselves are not legally binding under international law.
This relates back to the 2009 climate summit in Copenhagen. Observers say the attempt to impose binding targets on countries then was one of the reasons why the talks failed.
In Paris, a number of big emitting emerging economies - including China, India and South Africa - were unwilling to sign up to a condition that they felt could hamper their economic growth and development.
Nations have not been shy in coming forward to highlight their role in delivering a deal in Paris.
For example, just a few hours after the global climate deal was struck, US President Barack Obama told millions of TV viewers that it provided the "best chance we have to save the one planet we have". He also did not miss the opportunity to highlight the importance of "American leadership" in clinching the deal.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said the deal represented "a huge step forward in securing the future of the planet".
The reaction from world leaders echoed the rousing rhetoric of their speeches on the opening day of the two weeks of negotiations.
The fact is that every nation played their part. Under the UN system, a single nation could have objected and refused to adopt the agreement and the deal would have been lost.
Among the more colourful rumours circulating in Paris was a suggestion that there was papal pressure to one president who was wavering.
And one shining star of the negotiations was French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, the president of the conference.
People lauded his handling of nations' positioning and posturing, with many saying that his political and diplomatic experience was one of the main reasons why there was a happy ending to the story.
Now the question is not who sealed the deal but who will deliver?
Even the most supportive observers accept that it is going to be a very tall order for the world to deliver a package of measures that will result in limiting global temperature rise to "well below" 2C (3.6F), let alone 1.5C, above pre-industrial levels.
Finance departments of governments around the globe are going to have to put decarbonisation at the heart of their fiscal policies. Past evidence suggests that this will be a big ask. To date, it has - at best - been on the margins and as soon as there have been wobbles in economic activity, green policies have either been put on the back burner, diluted, ignored or removed from statute books altogether.
There will have to be a paradigm shift in the philosophy of political parties. Lip service and nods, accompanied with a little tinkering will not be enough to deliver the aims of the Paris Agreement.
Campaigners say this is where you come in. Fiscal policy shapes economic activities. Governments, made up from elected politicians, shape fiscal policy. You elect politicians.

Of these, 12 could be habitable - orbiting at a distance where it is neither "too hot" nor "too cold" for water to be liquid on the surface.
The planets are given away by tiny dips in light as they pass in front of their stars or through gravitational "tugs" on the star from an orbiting world.
These new worlds are listed in the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia.
The tally now stands at 1,010 new exoplanets, bolstered by 11 new finds from the UK's Wide Angle Search for Planets (Wasp).
Abel Mendez of the Planetary Habitability Laboratory at the University of Puerto Rico, said that although the number has rapidly increased in recent years, due to a lack of funding this figure is much lower than it could be.
"We have more techniques and proven technology to detect more exoplanets, but the limit has been telescopes, especially space telescopes.
"If we had more funding there would be more telescopes and that count would be much larger by now."
The Kepler space telescope, which spotted many of these worlds in recent years, broke down earlier this year. Scientists still have to trawl through more than 3,500 other candidates from this mission so the number could rapidly increase.
In January 2013, astronomers used Kepler's data to estimate that there could be at least 17 billion Earth-sized exoplanets in the Milky Way galaxy. They said that one in six stars could host an Earth-sized planet in close orbit.
The number of confirmed planets frequently increases because as scientists analyse the data they are able publish their results online immediately. But as the finds are not yet peer reviewed, the total figure remains subject to change.
"Each night we get a list of astronomy papers where there might be an exoplanet announcement. When we get that we have to review it," explained Prof Mendez.
This exoplanet catalogue is organised by Jean Schneider, an astronomer at the Paris Observatory. For the past 18 years he has catalogued new exoplanets on the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia.
Others in the field, like Prof Mendez, are then able to review and comment on the findings, which makes it "more dynamic" he explained.
"That's why the other catalogues just lag behind. The review is reliable as it's exactly the same as what the journals do." Prof Mendez told BBC News.
Nasa will only accept those announced in an academic journal, so it updates its list far less frequently. Their tally currently stands at 919 confirmed worlds.
Jean Schneider said it was also important to note that there was "no consensus for the definition of a planet" and that past experience had shown that a few objects declared as planets were actually artefacts or low-mass stars.
"Some objects, like some Kepler planets, are declared 'confirmed planets' but have not been published in [referenced] articles. It does not mean that they will not be published later on, but it introduces another fuzziness in the tally," he added.
Even if there was a generally adopted definition, Mr Schneider said that for some objects "there is a large uncertainty on parameters, so that the planetary nature of the object is uncertain".
For Prof Mendez reaching 1,000 marks an important milestone in the quest to understand the history of the evolution of the cosmos.
"I don't just want to know where the exoplanets are, I want to understand the stars, because they are the hosts for the planets. I want to understand the whole galaxy and the distribution of the stars because everything is connected," he explained.
For him, the most exciting discoveries are Earth-like planets which could be habitable.
"We want to know how unique our planet is, that's a big question and we are now closer than ever," he added.
For Mr Schneider the most interesting is the candidate exoplanet around Alpha Centauri, as it is circling a star only four light-years away.
This planet likely has the same mass as Earth but is outside the "habitable zone" as it circles its star far closer than Mercury orbits our Sun. | The number of observed exoplanets - worlds circling distant stars - has passed 1,000. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "24549384"} | 961 | 26 | 0.464063 | 1.17306 | 0.096053 | 1.2 | 54.133333 | 0.8 |

Russian security firm Kaspersky Labs told the BBC they believed the malware, known as Flame, had been operating since August 2010.
The company said it believed the attack was state-sponsored, but could not be sure of its exact origins.
They described Flame as "one of the most complex threats ever discovered".
Research into the attack was carried out in conjunction with the UN's International Telecommunication Union.
They had been investigating another malware threat, known as Wiper, which was reportedly deleting data on machines in western Asia.
In the past, targeted malware - such as Stuxnet - has targeted nuclear infrastructure in Iran.
Others like Duqu have sought to infiltrate networks in order to steal data.
This new threat appears not to cause physical damage, but to collect huge amounts of sensitive information, said Kaspersky's chief malware expert Vitaly Kamluk.
"Once a system is infected, Flame begins a complex set of operations, including sniffing the network traffic, taking screenshots, recording audio conversations, intercepting the keyboard, and so on," he said.
More than 600 specific targets were hit, Mr Kamluk said, ranging from individuals, businesses, academic institutions and government systems.
Iran's National Computer Emergency Response Team posted
a security alert
stating that it believed Flame was responsible for "recent incidents of mass data loss" in the country.
The malware code itself is 20MB in size - making it some 20 times larger than the Stuxnet virus. The researchers said it could take several years to analyse.
Mr Kamluk said the size and sophistication of Flame suggested it was not the work of independent cybercriminals, and more likely to be government-backed.

This is an extremely advanced attack. It is more like a toolkit for compiling different code based weapons than a single tool. It can steal everything from the keys you are pressing to what is on your screen to what is being said near the machine.
It also has some very unusual data stealing features including reaching out to any Bluetooth enabled device nearby to see what it can steal.
Just like Stuxnet, this malware can spread by USB stick, i.e. it doesn't need to be connected to a network, although it has that capability as well.
This wasn't written by some spotty teenager in his/her bedroom. It is large, complicated and dedicated to stealing data whilst remaining hidden for a long time.
Prof Alan Woodward on Twitter
He explained: "Currently there are three known classes of players who develop malware and spyware: hacktivists, cybercriminals and nation states.
"Flame is not designed to steal money from bank accounts. It is also different from rather simple hack tools and malware used by the hacktivists. So by excluding cybercriminals and hacktivists, we come to conclusion that it most likely belongs to the third group."
Among the countries affected by the attack are Iran, Israel, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
"The geography of the targets and also the complexity of the threat leaves no doubt about it being a nation-state that sponsored the research that went into it," Mr Kamluk said.
The malware is capable of recording audio via a microphone, before compressing it and sending it back to the attacker.
It is also able to take screenshots of on-screen activity, automatically detecting when "interesting" programs - such as email or instant messaging - were open.
Kaspersky's first recorded instance of Flame is in August 2010, although it said it is highly likely to have been operating earlier.
Prof Alan Woodward, from the Department of Computing at the University of Surrey said the attack is very significant.
"This is basically an industrial vacuum cleaner for sensitive information," he told the BBC.
He explained that unlike Stuxnet, which was designed with one specific task in mind, Flame was much more sophisticated.
"Whereas Stuxnet just had one purpose in life, Flame is a toolkit, so they can go after just about everything they can get their hands on."
Once the initial Flame malware has infected a machine, additional modules can be added to perform specific tasks - almost in the same manner as adding apps to a smartphone. | A complex targeted cyber-attack that collected private data from countries such as Israel and Iran has been uncovered, researchers have said. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "18238326"} | 918 | 27 | 0.45703 | 1.157726 | 0.565524 | 1.08 | 33.56 | 0.84 |
Two goals in six minutes from Billy Waters and Harry Pell gave the Robins an unlikely lead before a Garry Thompson double levelled things.
Cheltenham's Jordan Cranston was sent off on 40 minutes and Wycombe thought they had won it when Joe Jacobson scored a late penalty.
But Waters fired in the rebound after missing a spot-kick of his own soon after to give struggling Cheltenham a crucial point.
Cheltenham were in front after just seven minutes when Waters tapped in Jamal Blackman's fumble for his 13th goal of the season.
Pell's side-footed finish from James Rowe's cross made it 2-0 shortly after, before Thompson pulled one back on 21 minutes with a neat flick.
Cranston's challenge on Matt Bloomfield saw him receive his second yellow card in quick succession and Thompson volleyed home from a tight angle to level before the break.
Jacobson's 81st-minute penalty, after Thompson was fouled, looked to have given Wycombe all three points.
But when Danny Wright was felled in the box by Michael Harriman at the other end, Waters saw his spot-kick saved but turned in the rebound to earn Cheltenham a draw.

The Home Office has been looking at a legal aid funding request for the families ahead of inquests into the 21 deaths and a decision is expected to be made this month.
But campaigners said without legal aid they would not have representation.
A pre-inquest review is due to be held next month.
The relatives want their lawyers, who have so far worked free of charge, to be paid out of public funds, in the same manner as police and other agencies who will be in involved in the inquests.
Q&A: Birmingham bombings inquests
Campaigner Julie Hambleton, from Justice 4 the 21, said: "All families involved in this horrendous atrocity should be able to effectively participate but without funding, without our legal team, we won't be able to do that so we may have to either just not attend or ask for an adjournment."
Twenty-one people died and 222 were injured when the bombs exploded at the Mulberry Bush and The Tavern in the Town in 1974.
Six men were convicted and then acquitted of the atrocity and no-one has since been convicted of involvement in the bombing, which is widely attributed to the Irish Republican Army (IRA).
In June, Birmingham's senior coroner ruled there was evidence that still needed to be heard and gave the go-ahead for fresh inquests. | Relatives of the Birmingham pub bombing victims say they may not take part in forthcoming inquests if they do not get public funding for their legal team. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "37347432"} | 299 | 36 | 0.645772 | 1.565694 | 0.462261 | 0.857143 | 9.321429 | 0.714286 |
Two building foundations and dozens of pieces of pottery and weapons were unearthed in the excavation, which started in September.
The dig at the old factory site, near Great Central Street and Highcross Street, is open until Sunday afternoon.
One of the mosaics is considered to be the "finest" ever found in more than 150 years in the city.
The rooms in the houses contain mosaics with elaborate patterns and designs.
The mosaic in one reception room is considered "the largest and finest-quality mosaic found in over 150 years in Leicester", the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) said.
The dig also located pottery, coins, brooches, beads, hair pins, gaming pieces and manicure objects along with a decorated knife handle cast in copper alloy, which depicts a scene showing victims thrown to the lions in an amphitheatre.
Richard Buckley, co-director of ULAS, said: "The excavation has revealed evidence for the homes of some of [Roman Leicester's] wealthier citizens who lived just a short walk away from both the town's baths, now at Jewry Wall, and forum, beneath what is now Jubilee Square.
"Despite huge disturbance from modern buildings, evidence for Roman streets has survived together with fragments of some spectacular coloured mosaic pavements which the public will be able to see from a specially constructed platform." | A Roman street complete with "spectacular" mosaic floors has opened to the public in Leicester. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "39738436"} | 301 | 21 | 0.602787 | 1.567675 | 0.467543 | 1.055556 | 14.722222 | 0.833333 |
Neil Jackson, 35, from Penylan, pleaded guilty to eight counts of fraud at Cardiff Crown Court on Thursday.
The Crown Prosecution Service said he had advertised his house on Gumtree.
The court heard he falsely took bonds of between £1,000 and £1,400 from eight people, between October 2016 and March 2017.
The case was adjourned for sentencing until 18 May and Jackson has been remanded in custody.
"Jackson persuaded various people to pay him money over a number of months," said senior crown prosecutor Kelly Huggins afterwards.
"He continued his pretence that he was a registered landlord and that the agreements would be honoured.
"Instead, he lied about his son's health in order to delay them and avoid making repayments.
"His victims were relying on him to put a roof over their heads, but the reality was he deliberately took their money and prevented them moving on with their lives." | A Cardiff man has admitted taking more than £10,000 bond money from prospective tenants but then not renting out the property. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "39587367"} | 217 | 24 | 0.546482 | 1.227968 | 0.151971 | 0.391304 | 7.869565 | 0.391304 |
The state-owned bank said it was moving the jobs, which help to handle loans for small businesses, as part of an ongoing cost-cutting drive.
But the company, which owns RBS and NatWest, added that UK staff would still deal with customers and take the decisions on whether to grant loans.
The Unite union said UK workers and taxpayers would lose out from the move.
"By shipping these jobs to India, RBS will be getting that work done more cheaply at the cost of jobs and livelihoods here in the UK," a spokesman said.
The bank's small business customers will also be unsettled by the decision, according to Mike Cherry, chairman of the Federal of Small Businesses.
"Many small business customers with RBS will be extremely concerned at the idea of local expert staff being sent packing and their roles outsourced to call centres halfway round the world," Mr Cherry said.
He added it was the "wrong way to rebuild trust" after branch closures and a mis-selling scandal that saw thousands of small business customers compensated by the bank last year.
The company, which is still 73% owned by the government after a £45bn bailout in 2008, said staff in Mumbai would take over back-office roles such as background checks.
But it added that UK-based staff would continue to do the work that involved customer contact.
Credit decisions will also be taken in the UK, according to the bank.

If you've just agreed a new mortgage or remortgaged, you'll probably not have met the person who decided to give it to you (or not).
That's not the case with small companies. They have a far closer relationship with their bank manager. The latter needs to know what kind of business you have and how you run it.
Some may have fretted that shifting more than 400 jobs relating to SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) lending to India might irrevocably alter than relationship.
And that's why RBS is stressing that all credit decisions will continue to be taken here in Britain and no relationship managers with SMEs will be downsized.
RBS doesn't want to damage its current position as the largest business bank in the UK.
A spokesman for the RBS group said: "As we become a simpler, smaller bank, we are making some changes to the way we serve our customers.
"Unfortunately, these changes will result in the net reduction of 443 roles in the UK."
The company said it would support staff affected by the "disappointing news", including by moving them into new roles where possible.
It comes just weeks after RBS said it would cut 250 IT jobs in the UK and move dozens of the roles to India. | Royal Bank of Scotland is cutting 443 UK jobs dealing with business loans as it shifts many of the roles to India. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "40397684"} | 596 | 26 | 0.475978 | 1.267684 | 0.151691 | 2.130435 | 23.956522 | 0.826087 |
The brawl broke out after two groups became involved in an row on a train which was travelling between Glasgow Central and Greenock Central.
The incident happened between 09:30 and 09:50 on 17 December.
Three of the people involved later got off the train at Greenock Central and the fourth got off at Greenock West.
One of the men is described as being white, of a sturdy build and was wearing a pink and white shirt, smart jeans and brown boots. He suffered a laceration to the head.

Buttler was involved in an angry exchange with home players when he was dismissed following a review in Dhaka.
He was found guilty of "using language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting" as England were beaten.
The ICC also fined Bangladesh's Mashrafe Mortaza and Sabbir Rahman 20% of their match fee for their roles.
Captain Mortaza and batsman Sabbir were guilty of "using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batsman upon his/her dismissal during an international match".
Javagal Srinath, who is on the International Cricket Council's elite panel of match referees, decided on the punishment.
"The Bangladesh players overstepped in their celebration of Jos Buttler's wicket, which prompted an inappropriate reaction from the dismissed batsman and required the on-field umpires' intervention," he said.
"We all want to see high intensity on the field of play, but only as long as it is not provoking or antagonising or disrespecting the opponent."
The revised ICC code of conduct came into force on 22 September, and one demerit point each has been added to the disciplinary records of the three players.
It is the first such point against Buttler and Mortaza but takes Sabbir's tally to three after he was penalised against Afghanistan in September.

Called Unheard Voices, the event in Inverness on 23 June is the first of its kind in the Highlands.
It will bring together academics, politicians, social workers and community activists.
Topics to be discussed include Brexit, integration, portrayal of Poles in TV dramas and mental health.
Historical links between Scotland and Poland will also be explored, such as the migration of Poles to Scotland after World War Two and the thousands of Scottish emigrants who went to Poland in the 16th and 17th centuries.
Organiser Dr David Worthington, who is head of the UHI's Centre for History, said it was hoped to bring some difficult issues into the open.
He said: "Migration is a complex experience. The Polish case emphasises both positive and negative sides of that.
"There are very difficult issues for host communities and for migrants themselves. I don't want to shy away from that I think it is important to bring people together to talk about these things at the moment."
He added: "I think to do it in the Highlands makes sense, because I would like to think that within this region people are sensitive to issues around migration and are very aware of the historical background in terms of the experience of people from the Highland in relation to this mass movement of people we associate with the Clearances." | The University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) hopes to shed light on the issues affecting Scotland's Polish community. | {"src": "xsum-1.2.1_train", "id": "40062933"} | 285 | 28 | 0.643553 | 1.676856 | 0.38556 | 0.73913 | 11.26087 | 0.652174 |
