Officers investigating the incident said no other vehicle was thought to have been involved.
Investigations into the full circumstances are continuing, and officers have appealed for witnesses. | Police have named a motorcyclist who died in a crash near Forfar as Andrew Cassels. |
Write a brief summary of the document. | The Great Knot, a small wader, has attracted dozens of bird watchers from far and wide to Titchwell's RSPB reserve on the coast.
Only five have ever been spotted in England and this is the second to come to Norfolk.
Titchwell volunteer Geoffrey Fitt said it was a very rare and unusual visitor.
"It breeds in north-east Siberia and normally this time of year heads for the coasts of south east Asia or Australia."
The last Great Knot appeared on Breydon Water in July 2014.
Lewis Ball, 26, had not been seen since he left the Thekla on Bristol's Floating Harbour at 03:20 GMT on Sunday 5 February.
Avon and Somerset Police said Mr Ball's family had been informed of the discovery.
Formal identification has not yet been carried out, a police spokesman said. | A bird that lives most of the year in Siberia and winters in south east Asia or Australia has been spotted in north Norfolk.

Summarize the content provided below. | It is expected to be a digital boost for a major mountain bike event, due to be held in the Glentress Forest.
Organisers hope it will allow live streaming of the 80km Enduro event.
If the technology proves successful in the thick forest, it could be used to deliver communications services to rural areas.
About 600 mountain bikers are expected at the Tweedlove Bike Festival event at the weekend, as well as many spectators.
Thanks to the ground-breaking trial, they are likely to be able to access the internet on smart phones and tablets from within the forest.
Moira Forsyth, of the Innovation Directorate of Scottish Enterprise, which is one of the agencies behind the trial, said the technology could be a major opportunity for local businesses.
She said: "TV white space technology has the potential to provide a major boost for Scottish tourism.
"Like many rural tourism businesses the majority of mountain biking locations have no or very poor connectivity - whether mobile or internet access.
"This lack of connectivity to stream live events also significant limits the international viewing opportunities when Scotland hosts global events such as the Enduro World Series, which bring significant income into rural locations."
So-called "white space" is the unused frequencies allocated to broadcasting services. The frequencies vary by region but devices such as mobile phones and tablets could use the free spectrum.
The trial at Glentress Forest will test the technology in a densely forested, mountainous rural environment.
It has been led by Scottish Enterprise, the Mountain Bike Centre of Scotland, which is based at the forest near Peebles, and Microsoft.
Danny Cowe, the mountain bike centre's business development manager said: "We're acutely aware that the visitor experience can be negatively impacted by poor connectivity - shutting down their ability to share their experience on social platforms.
"Beyond this they cannot use smart phones or other mobile devices in order to view or look and book with local businesses - for example local restaurants.
"We can see how this clever new technology could hugely improve both the spectator experience and improve their time at centres such as Glentress."
Jim Beveridge, senior director of international technology policy at Microsoft, said: "We've successfully trialled it in everything from lifeboats to businesses and now in sport. It brings people together in a way that just wasn't possible five years ago and it just might bring some of the superstars here this weekend direct to your mobile."
The white space technology could help local business Dirt School expand and enhance its mountain bike coaching service.
Head coach Andy Barlow said: "As we are launching a mountain bike coaching app and offering virtual training programmes, it is vital that we are then able to connect with our students to provide feedback instantly.
"TV White Space technology could enable us to do that at Glentress."
The 37-year-old tied for seventh place at the Hong Kong Open at the weekend, securing a top-110 finish in the Race to Dubai and his card for 2016.
This year was Ford's first on the European Tour, having come through Qualifying School last year.
"I was very emotional afterwards. It is hard to stop it when you have been pushing it back for so long," he said.
Ford had started the week 118th in the Race to Dubai, and says he had doubts about whether he would be able to remain on the Tour.
"I was always in a good position but the thoughts build as the week goes on," Ford told BBC Radio Kent.
"You have to accept you are nervous and the mind will wander. It was heightened even more as you know what it means.
"People asked me whether, on the 18th green, I knew what the scenario was and what I needed to do.
"It was the last hole of the year so there was no comeback. I had to keep those thoughts at bay and focus on the single shot in front of me and that's what I'm most proud of."
Ford's best result this year came when he finished second at the Africa Open in March, and he believes he can capitalise further in 2016.
"I can pick and choose which events I play," he said. "I am pretty much guaranteed nearly all the big events and it is huge from that point.
"My game is suited to certain courses so I can make sure I am ready for those tournaments." | A remote forest in the Scottish Borders will be hooked up to the internet this weekend as part of a trial of cutting edge "TV white space" technology.

Bearsted golfer Matt Ford says retaining his European Tour card was an emotional moment. |
Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | The King's College London team says leg power is a useful marker of whether someone is getting enough exercise to help keep their mind in good shape.
Exercise releases chemicals in the body that may boost elderly brains, say the scientists, in the journal Gerontology.
But they say more research is needed to prove their hunch.
It is difficult to untangle leg strength from other lifestyle factors that may have an impact on brain health and the study did not look specifically at dementia, experts say.
The researchers tracked the health of more than 150 pairs of twin sisters aged between 43 and 73 at the start of the study.
Leg power was measured (at the start of the study) using a modified piece of gym equipment that measured both speed and power of leg extension, while brain power was measured (at both the start and the end of the study) using computerised tasks that tested memory and mental processing skills.
Generally, the twin who had more leg power at the start of the study sustained their cognition better and had fewer brain changes associated with ageing measured after 10 years. And the finding remained when other known lifestyle and health risk factors for dementia were included.
Lead researcher Dr Claire Steves said: "When it came to cognitive ageing, leg strength was the strongest factor that had an impact in our study.
"Other factors such as heart health were also important, but the link with leg strength remained even after we accounted for these.
"We think leg strength is a marker of the kind of physical activity that is good for your brain."
Alzheimer's Society director of research Dr Doug Brown said the findings added to the growing evidence that physical activity could help look after the brain as well as the body.
"However, we still don't fully understand how this relationship works and how we can maximise the benefit," he said.
"And we have yet to see if the improvements in memory tests actually translate into a reduced risk of dementia."
Alzheimer's Research UK director of research Dr Simon Ridley said: "We know that keeping active generally can help reduce dementia risk, and it's important to take into account strength training as well as aerobic exercise." | Older women who have strong legs are likely to fare better when it comes to ageing of the brain, a decade-long study of more than 300 twins suggests. |
Please provide a summary for the content below. | Cancer charities argued the drug adds an average of six months to the lives of some women whose breast cancer has become inoperable.
Women in England, Wales and Ireland have already been refused access to the drug on cost grounds.
The Scottish Medicines Consortium also had concerns about cost effectiveness.
The SMC said it had to consider value for money and take account of the needs of all patients who need treatment, not just those affected by this medicine.
Earlier this year the SMC was reformed to give patients and clinicians a greater say on which new medicines are approved.
The drug approval body for England and Wales, NICE, ruled in August that Kadcyla was still too expensive to be approved for routine NHS use.
It led to claims by the manufacturer Roche that the system was "broken".
NICE generally approves treatments which cost no more than £30,000 per year of better-quality life.
In the case of Kadcyla, NICE said the quality-to-cost ratio had been calculated at £166,000.
The Irish equivalent of NICE and the SMC, the National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics, has also ruled that Kadcyla is not cost-effective.
The only way women will be able to access it will be through a new Peer Approved Clinical System (PACS).
They will need the support of their consultant to argue that the drug offers them particular benefit over and above what has already been considered by the SMC.
Prof Jonathan Fox, chairman of the SMC, said the organisation was "disappointed" not to have been able to recommend Kadcyla, which is also known as trastuzumab emtansine.
He said it had "taken on board" the drug's effectiveness and applied as much "flexibility" as possible in its considerations. Ultimately, however, "the committee felt unable to accept it."
He said: "While the PACE process is a determining factor when we consider medicines like this, and was designed to increase access to such medicines, that access cannot come at any price - we have to consider value for money and take account of the needs of all patients who need treatment, not just those affected by the medicine under consideration. NHS Scotland does not have infinite resources.
"This is a devastating condition and we understand that this decision will be very disappointing for patients. Most of our committee members are practising clinicians who care for patients daily and the decision to not recommend a life-extending medicine is never taken lightly.
"Local NHS boards have processes in place to allow clinicians to prescribe medicines that are not accepted for routine use by the SMC. We would welcome a resubmission for trastuzumab emtansine that takes into account the issues raised by the SMC appraisal."
James Jopling, the Scotland director for Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said: "Support for this drug has united the entire breast cancer community.
"Patients, families, carers, oncologists and all four breast cancer charities in Scotland have called for this medicine to be approved. In addition, over 1,800 members of the public have signed our petition calling for more medicines like Kadcyla to be made available in Scotland.
"So this is a deeply disappointing outcome and, though we recognise the very high cost of this medicine made it hard for the SMC to approve, it becomes more vital than ever that pharmaceutical companies do more to set the cost of new medicines at a price the NHS can afford."
He continued: "Access to drugs for people who really need them is an ongoing problem and Breakthrough is leading the call for a solution to be found. We are determined to stop breast cancer for good, and making sure every woman receives the treatment she needs is the first step."
Health Secretary Alex Neil said: "As happens currently, any patient with secondary breast cancer whose clinician believes that Kadycla will be of significant benefit can make a request to their health board to access the drug.
"There are already patients in Scotland being treated with Kadcyla, funded by the NHS, and this will continue with the additional funding pledged by the Scottish government.
"However this is clearly not the ideal situation for patients and clinicians in Scotland, and I hope that the manufacturer will resubmit Kadycla quickly and at a fair price." | The organisation which decides which medicines should be routinely available on the NHS in Scotland has decided not to approve breast cancer drug Kadcyla. |
Write a brief summary of the provided content. | Two males, aged 19 and 17, were arrested on Tuesday in connection with the death of Abdul Hafidah.
The 18-year-old was hit by a car and then stabbed on 12 May in Moss Side, Manchester, and died later in hospital.
Police believe he was chased near Greenheys Lane before being hit by a blue Vauxhall Corsa on Moss Lane East.
A post-mortem examination revealed he died of a stab wound to the neck. Four others arrested in connection with his death, including a boy of 14, were released on bail until 20 July.
Police are continuing to appeal for anyone who may have dash-cam footage of the incident or the area and said the attack took place in a busy area during rush hour.
The nine-floor building, part of Ipswich Hospital, was hit on Tuesday evening.
Just before 19:00 GMT, Hospital chief executive Nick Hulme tweeted that a "massive clap of thunder and lightning has struck the building".
A hospital spokesman said patient care had not been affected but the unit's bleeper system was down.
Mr Hulme said everything was "safe" but there may be disruption for a while.
Hospital co-ordinator Karen Lough said the maternity unit was "fully operational" and the contingency plans had worked.
"We are using phones and radio communication to replace our bleeper system, but patient care has not been affected," she said.
The tournament has been staged at the prestigious Surrey club since 1984.
But the quality of the greens and course layout changes in 2009 have kept some of Europe's star players away.
"We have every intention to be at Wentworth for a long period of time," said Pelley.
Another issue involves Wentworth residents, who are seeking an increase in the fees paid by the European Tour to hold the event on the estate's West Course.
However, Pelley is confident issues with the course and local residents can be resolved.
"We have to significantly improve the golf course," added Pelley.
"The golf course in particular, where our interest lies, is a golf course that we believe our top players will want to play on year after year."

The Scarlets are set to sign the Wales full-back on a National Dual Contract (NDC) with the WRU, after Halfpenny left Toulon in the summer.
Davies wants Halfpenny, 28, back in Wales after three seasons in France.
"Talks are ongoing," Davies confirmed to BBC Wales News' Welsh language Newyddion 9 programme.
"I think the Union and the regions are eager to ensure that the best Welsh players play in Wales.
"Those discussions are ongoing but there is no development that can be announced as yet."
Davies refused to be drawn on which of the four regions Halfpenny would be joining if he agreed to return to Wales.
"We're looking forward to bring him back to play his rugby in Wales so that he's considered as one of the game's heroes and that the kids and the next generation can see one of our best players play in Wales," Davies said.
Halfpenny has spent three seasons in Toulon after joining from Cardiff Blues but is set to link up with the Scarlets rather than his former region.
The WRU would pay 60% of his contract as part of the NDC, with the Scarlets contributing the other 40%.
"The regions are always looking to retain, first of all, and then repatriate our leading players to play rugby in Wales," added Davies.
"It's important for the young generation to see their star players being readily available for them to watch most weekends."
Scarlets general manager Jon Daniels remained coy on whether Halfpenny was heading to Llanelli.
"We are preparing for next season with the squad that we have got," said Daniels.
"If there is anything on Leigh Halfpenny in the near future, I am sure the Welsh Rugby Union will be making that statement when they are ready to do so. Until then we are getting on with our preparations.
"We have a squad here who has been working hard for a good couple of weeks and we are looking forward to the challenge." | Police investigating the murder of a teenager who was hit by a car and then stabbed in the neck have arrested two further people.

Summarize the provided information. | The local clinical commissioning group (CCG), which commissions healthcare for the borough, said it made the decision to withdraw free IVF to save money.
A borough council committee has written to Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt asking him to look at the decision.
The Department of Health said it would respond to the letter in due course.
A spokesperson said: "Fertility problems can have a serious and lasting impact on those affected, which is why we expect all CCGs to implement NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) guidelines."
Croydon's CCG said IVF was still available to those with "exceptional clinical circumstances".
NHS oversight group NICE recommends women under 40 can be offered up to three free IVF cycles on the NHS, but the final decision lies with CCGs.
In the letter, Croydon Council's health and social care scrutiny sub-committee said the withdrawal of funding had resulted in a postcode lottery as residents of other London boroughs continued to have access to free IVF treatment.
It said Croydon CCG had been left a large deficit by the previous primary care trust and due to historical underfunding and had to find savings of £36m this year.
Sub-committee chairwoman Carole Bonner said: "Not only are we asking for the decision to be reversed, but we are also asking for funding from the government to address the balance."
Leader of Croydon Council Tony Newman said: "It's true to say that the decision to withdraw funding will be reviewed in a year, but even if the funding is restored at that point there would be residents who have passed the age limit and missed the chance of conceiving."
Croydon CCG, which was placed in financial special measures in 2016 for NHS overspending, said the decision could help save £836,000 per year.
Dr Agnelo Fernandes, from Croydon CCG, said: "We took this difficult decision only after careful consideration and discussion in the context of the increasingly challenging financial position we face.
"We have a statutory requirement to prioritise frontline services for the people of Croydon and live within the financial resources available to us."
Two brothers and another man from Carrickfergus appeared at Belfast Magistrates' Court on Monday charged with attempted murder.
The court heard the door man at the Royal Oak bar was attacked on Saturday night with a fire extinguisher.
He is in a stable condition in hospital.
The men who appeared at court on Monday were Brian Sinclair, 50, from O'Rorke's Row, Ian Sinclair, 36 from Elizabeth Avenue and Glen McCullough, 52, from Castlemara Drive.
There was a heavy police presence at the Laganside Courts complex.
A judge told the court: "I have no desire to close the court. I'm asking everyone to remain composed."
Brian Sinclair applied for bail, which police opposed on the grounds of potential interference with witnesses.
An officer told the court that Ian and Brian Sinclair had been refused entry to the Royal Oak bar on Green Street by the victim.
He said the brothers believed they were not being allowed in because of an ongoing loyalist feud in the area.
It was heard that CCTV footage showed Brian Sinclair wrestling the victim to the ground, where Ian Sinclair hit him repeatedly on the head with a fire extinguisher.
The court heard that Glen McCullough was also seen lifting the fire extinguisher and hitting the victim on the head with it as he lay in the entrance hallway to the bar.
The court heard the victim has a blood clot and air pockets in his brain as well as facial fractures, and will need to be "continually monitored" in hospital.
Brian Sinclair's solicitor said his client had been a turbine rigger for 30 years and was due to take up a new contract in Wales.
He added that his client had been "caught up in something".
A judge refused bail, telling the court that Brian Sinclair was not an "appropriate candidate" because of the suspected link between the assault and "organised paramilitarism".

Write a concise summary of the provided excerpt. | Sullivan finished second to McIlroy at the European Tour's season-closing World Tour Championship, to collect the biggest pay cheque of his career.
And the 28-year-old from Nuneaton is now third on the European points list.
"I know one of his goals next year is to make the Ryder Cup team and he'd be a huge asset to Europe," said McIlroy.
"Andy is some player. I said at the start of the year when we played together in Dubai how fantastic he was. He's got all the shots."
Sullivan now has only McIlroy and former Walker Cup player Matthew Fitzpatrick ahead of him on the points list to make Europe's team at Hazeltine, Minnesota, after more than doubling his previous best pay day at last month's victory at the Portugal Masters, by collecting 820,552 euros (£575,000).
Paul McGinley, Europe's Ryder Cup-winning captain at Gleneagles in 2014, said: "His game is solid, his attitude is superb and I love his tenacious spirit.
"Along with the likes of Danny Willett and Matthew Fitzpatrick, we've got a few exciting new Ryder Cup contenders."
Paired with Sullivan on the final day in Dubai, McIlroy needed a monster putt after going into the water on 17 to see off his rival by a single shot.
"He kept on making putts. I had to dig very deep. I have to give a lot of credit to him," added the former world number one, now third in the official world rankings after an injury-curtailed year.
"I gave it everything on that front nine," added Sullivan. "I birdied a lot of holes but he just kept coming.
"When he went in the water at 17, I thought I'm back in the game, but I gave him a good teach on my line and, after my putt, I expected him to hole his and he did.
"Cometh the hour, that's what world-class players do."
His recent win in Portugal was Sullivan's third in 10 months and he finished the season eighth in the European order of merit.
"I think I've done myself proud. Portugal was a big turning point for me. I learnt a hell of lot about myself there and the qualities I possess when I go in front," he added.
"It's now just a question of doing it on a bit more consistent basis and giving myself the chance to get up on at the final tee with Rory a little bit more often." | England's Andy Sullivan has been tipped by Rory McIlroy as an "asset" to the European team if he qualifies to make his Ryder Cup debut next year. |

"The players have made it difficult for themselves," added O'Neill.
"I'm not going to say we've been progressing at a rate of knots. We're progressing in small steps and taking a few setbacks. This was another one."
He added: "Some of our performances have been good but we just have to live with the results and they've been poor, there's no getting away from that."

Friday night's defeat, courtesy of goals from Rufat Dadasov and Mahir Shukurov, means Northern Ireland have taken just two points from a possible 12 against the two lowest ranked teams in their World Cup qualifying group.
They now have just one match - on Tuesday against Israel - to avoid an embarrassing bottom-placed.
The result was compounded by Jonny Evans's injury-time red card for a crude foul that led directly to Azerbaijan's second.
Evans will now be suspended for the game in Israel, alongside Gareth McAuley, who was booked for talking back to the referee, and Oliver Norwood.
O'Neill declined to hold his tongue on those incidents, although insists his side have been harshly treated by officials over the course of the qualification group.
"Jonny has admitted it was frustration so that was stupid for a player of his level and the level he plays at with Manchester United. He should know better," O'Neill added.
"You could see frustration creeping in to the players as the game went on, not only towards the opposition but also to the referee.
"We have to learn to control that. And as for Gareth, anything for dissent is inexcusable, simple as that.
"But for a team like us, who who have committed virtually the fewest fouls in Europe, to have the disciplinary record we have is a bit of a joke." | Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill says the 2-0 World Cup qualifier defeat by Azerbaijan is another "harsh lesson" for his team. |
Summarize the following piece. | The rare malt was among seven bottles of whisky taken from Tullibardine Distillery's shop in Blackford at the weekend.
About £14,000 worth of whisky and two glasses were stolen from the shop during the break in.
Police want to trace a man seen walking with two bags near the A9 at Blackford at about 21:55 on Saturday.
He was described as between 25 and 35-years-old, of medium build, and was wearing a red top, light-coloured shorts and worker boots.
Police Scotland said the Stirling Street shop was broken into between 17:00 on Saturday and 09:25 on Sunday.
A typical branded whisky sold in a UK supermarket can cost about £14. Cheaper blends can be bought for less, a single malt would be about twice as much.
But, at the top end of the market, a rare bottle might fetch many thousands of pounds.
In some examples, luxury packaging (think crystal decanter, encrusted with jewels) makes up much of the cost.
In others, the rarity of the drink itself, from casks matured decades ago, pushes up the price tag.
The top prices in auction can match works of art. In 2010, an auction house in New York sold a decanter of whisky for $460,000 (£353,000).
Rob Lawrie, 49, from Guiseley, faces up to five years in jail if convicted of attempting to bring the girl from the "Jungle" migrant camp near Calais, to Leeds where she has relatives.
It urges the Foreign Office to seek clemency from the French authorities.
The government said it had contacted French police about the incident.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live Mr Lawrie said he had first met the Afghan girl, who he knew as "Bahar", when he travelled to France to provide aid to refugees.
"[Her father] had asked me a few times to take her and I had always said no, then, on my last journey we were sat round a campfire and Bahar was sat on my knee and she just snuggled in and fell asleep in my lap, " he said
"It was one of those moments and I just said, 'This is no life for a four-year-old' and all rationality left me and I knew what I had to do."
Mr Lawrie hid Bahar in a compartment above the driver's seat of his Transit van.
He was stopped by border officials who discovered two Eritrean boys who had sneaked into the vehicle unbeknownst to him.
Mr Lawrie was arrested and, after Bahar was discovered, she was returned to the camp.
Mr Lawrie, who is due in court in France in January, said: "You do not need to tell me I'm an idiot, I know I'm an idiot.
"I did the wrong thing, I've got no doubt and I'm going to apologise to the French court.
"I'm not saying 'Look at me, I'm a hero' I'm saying 'I did it the wrong way, lets try and find out the right way'."

"No shots were fired and no injuries have been reported. The robbers fled‚" Airports Company South Africa said in a statement.
The Hawks, an elite police unit, declined to release details, but has said that a high level investigation by all law enforcement agencies is now under way, the BBC's Milton Nkosi reports.
The police have described the robbery as bearing the hallmarks of an inside job.
A source within the Hawks has described the robbery as looking like "something scripted from a Hollywood movie", South African journalist Graeme Hosken told the BBC's Newsday programme.
The journalist added that the thieves, who used special access passes to get into the airport, knew exactly which containers to take and were careful to get hold of small denomination notes, which are thought to be easier to pass on.
A police spokeswoman, Athlenda Mathe, was quoted by South African broadcaster eNCA as saying she could not comment on "how much money exactly was stolen".
Guards from a private security firm protecting the valuable cargo were stopped by the robbers, who were travelling in a vehicle marked with "police", the TimesLive news website reports.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Leader Ruth Davidson will call on voters to send a message to the SNP on independence as she unveils the party's manifesto in Edinburgh.
The party said the manifesto will also seek to empower councils.
And it will set out plans to reverse what it describes as "a decade of SNP centralisation".
Ms Davidson said the council elections on 4 May were an opportunity for people "to make clear the priorities they want in Scotland".
She said: "It is to ensure we have local councils focused on your school and your local services, not on a divisive referendum campaign most people don't want.
"We have two key points to make at this election. After 10 years of SNP centralisation, we want to make the case for localism - so decisions are put back in the hands of your local community.
"And, after a decade of constitutional division, we want to send a message to the SNP: we don't want your unwanted independence referendum.
"Every Scottish Conservative councillor who is elected on 4 May will demand nothing less."
The party's local government spokesman Graham Simpson claimed that Scotland was "fast becoming one of the most centralised countries in the western world".
He added: "The SNP government reserves for itself the right to make the vast majority of economic decisions, so local authorities have been relegated to mere service providers.
"We need to empower councils and give them a renewed sense of meaning and purpose. They can and must be the engines of growth".

What is the summary of the provided article? | A PTI spokesman made an announcement on Imran Khan's official Facebook page. Ms Khan also confirmed on Twitter that they had decided to part ways.
The pair got married in January at Mr Khan's home.
The former cricketer was previously married to British journalist and activist Jemima Goldsmith.
PTI spokesman Naeem Ul Haque asked for the media to "refrain from any speculation" due to the sensitivity and seriousness of "this extremely painful matter".
"There will be no further communication in this respect," he added.
Mr Khan echoed the request to be left alone on Twitter: "This is a painful time for me & Reham & our families. I would request everyone to respect our privacy."
He denied that there had been any financial settlement between them, adding: "I have the greatest respect for Reham's moral character & her passion to work for & help the underprivileged".
Reham Khan, a journalist, said on her Twitter page: "We have decided to part ways and file for divorce."
Mr Khan and Ms Goldsmith were married for nine years and divorced in 2004. They have two sons who live in the UK.
Last year Imran Khan was at the helm of major protests and rallies calling for political reform and for Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to step down.
Last year, the Wall Street Journal accused Mr Najib of corruption, claiming that the $681m (£478m) had come from troubled state fund 1MDB.
Mr Najib has faced repeated calls to step down as prime minister but has been cleared of wrongdoing.
He said the Saudi statement confirmed what he had always maintained.
The full background to the 1MDB scandal
Malaysia PM in the clear?
The 1MDB fund was set up by Mr Najib in 2009 to pay for major new economic and social developments in Malaysia.
Last July, Malaysia's then-Attorney General Abdul Gani Patail linked the $681m in Mr Najib's account to companies and bodies which had ties to 1MDB.
Mr Patail was replaced, and, after an investigation, his successor cleared Mr Najib of corruption, saying that the money was a personal donation by the Saudi royal family to the prime minister's private bank account.
Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir, speaking to reporters at a summit in Istanbul, confirmed this, according to Malaysian state news agency Bernama.
"We are aware of the donation and it is a genuine donation with nothing expected in return. We are also fully aware that the attorney general of Malaysia has thoroughly investigated the matter and found no wrongdoing," he said.
"So, as far as we are concerned, the matter is closed," Mr Jubeir said, after a meeting with Mr Najib on the sidelines of the summit.
The fund has been dogged by allegations of corruption.
Last week, a Malaysian parliamentary enquiry found its entire board 1MDB had been acted irresponsibly, and called for an investigation into the former chief, although it did not implicate Mr Najib.
A Swiss investigation into 1MDB was opened last year, citing "suspected corruption of public foreign officials, dishonest management of public interests and money laundering".

Give a brief summary of the provided passage. | He named five people:
Fifteen years later, these men still form President Putin's core group and dominate the strategic heights of Russian government and big business:
This core group illustrates two important points about who runs Russia.
First, there has been continuity in terms of the personnel closest to Mr Putin. Real reshuffles are rare, and very few have been evicted from this core group.
Second, the heart of the leadership team is made up of allies who served with Mr Putin in the KGB, in 1990s St Petersburg, or both.
This core group also includes others whom the president trusts to implement major infrastructure projects, such as Arkady Rotenberg, one of those responsible for the Sochi Winter Olympics, as well as several regional figures and senior bureaucrats.
Many of these figures held senior positions even before Mr Putin's rise to power.
Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, formerly Minister of Emergency Situations, was a prominent party political figure in the second half of the 1990s and leader of the United Russia party from 2001-05.
Such figures convene in the security council, one of the most important organisations for co-ordinating high-level decision-making and resources.
At the same time, the Russian administrative system - the so-called vertical of power - does not function well: policy instructions are often implemented tardily and sometimes not at all, so others have important roles helping develop and implement projects.
One such individual is Yuri Trutnev, elected as a regional governor in 2000, and then appointed Minister for Natural Resources and Ecology in 2004.
In 2013, he was promoted to Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary to the Russian Far Eastern Federal District, a high priority post for Mr Putin.
Russian observers also point to the role played by Vyacheslav Volodin in helping Mr Putin run Russian politics since 2011.
Mr Volodin rose through regional and then national party politics, before being appointed to government positions.
He established the influential All-Russian Popular Front in 2011, which makes an increasingly significant contribution to formulation, implementation and monitoring of the leadership's policies.
Mr Volodin was subsequently appointed First Deputy Head of the presidential administration, responsible for overseeing a "reset" of Russian domestic politics since 2012.
Alongside continuity in the core leadership team, there has been a growing need for effective managers to implement its policies.
Indeed, rather than shrinking, as some commentators have suggested, the leadership team appears to be expanding.
There are several rising stars who play increasingly important roles in party politics and administration.
One is 39-year-old Alexander Galushka, who is a member of the Popular Front and many of the president's and prime minister's advisory committees.
He was appointed Minister of the Far Eastern region in 2013.
This leads us to the final point about who runs Russia with Mr Putin - while the President is the central figure, he is part of a team, which itself is part of a system, and therefore highlights the importance of effectiveness in implementing tasks.
All the individuals have reputations for hard work, loyalty and proven effectiveness in completing difficult tasks in business, state administration and politics.
As one Russian close to Mr Putin has observed, he did not choose them for their pretty eyes, but because they get things done.

Baroness Manzoor said the Tory party was now her "natural home".
She also said leaving the Lib Dems, for whom she had been a member of the House of Lords for three years, was "tough but... the right thing to do".
Baroness Manzoor, who had been the Lib Dem spokeswoman on work and pensions, added: "I could not support the leadership of a party that calls itself democratic and then refuses to acknowledge the will of the people in a referendum."
She was referring to Lib Dem leader Tim Farron's call for a second referendum on the terms of any Brexit deal.
Baroness Manzoor said: "Theresa May's vision of a Britain that works for everyone, and her clear leadership over Brexit, now make the Conservatives a natural home for me and millions of people like me, from all communities across the UK.

Rob Kearney is fit to play at full-back after recovering from a biceps problem.
Both Sexton and Kearney came through a full week of training at the squad's Carton House base in County Kildare unscathed.
Sexton, 31, has been out of action since sustaining his injury during Leinster's Champions Cup draw with Castres on 20 January.
Jackson deputised impressively for Sexton at Murrayfield and in Rome, but must settle for a place on the bench on this occasion.
"It was a call like any other, we debated it and we do believe we get a good balance with having both players available," said Schmidt of the selection call on starting Sexton ahead of Jackson.
"It's very hard to come into a side and come off the bench when you haven't played. So starting the match has allowed Johnny a bit more training time with the team this week.
"It's a balance, and I think on Saturday based on how things have gone in the past we'll probably see both players in some positions in some stage of the game.
"Johnny's done a lot of conditioning in the period of his injury, and fitness is never really an issue for Johnny, it's just making sure he's fully fit.
"And he is. He trained well today and fully on Tuesday. He's highly motivated to get into the game on Saturday."
Conor Murray has recovered from a hip issue to take his place in the starting line-up, with Munster's Niall Scannell dropping to the bench in light of the return of Best to the number two shirt.

John MacKenzie has accused the charity of treating landowners, farmers, crofters and estate workers with "suspicion".
The owner of the 60,000-acre (24,281 ha) Gairloch and Conon Estate, said he believed 99% of people involved in land management felt the same way.
RSPB Scotland said it preferred "constructive dialogue" to signs.
Mr MacKenzie told BBC Radio Scotland that he erected the notices after similar action was taken by another Highland landowner.
He said he wanted to show his unhappiness with the RSPB.
Mr MacKenzie had given permission for the monitoring of a red kite nest on his estate, believing that the work was being done by staff from Forestry Commission Scotland.
However, he withdrew his consent when he learned it was being done by an RSPB employee.
Mr MacKenzie said he also found out that the RSPB was monitoring a different bird's nest on his land than the one he had been told about.
He said the charity treated landowners, their workers and others involved in agriculture with a "degree of suspicion".
Mr MacKenzie added: "If you were to speak to 98-99% of all shepherds, farmers, crofters, ghillies, foresters, stalkers, gamekeepers and landowners in the Highlands they would say they simply do not trust the RSPB in the way they operate."
He said the vast majority of these people supported wildlife conservation.
RSPB Scotland said it was not required by law to notify landowners of its survey work, but usually did so as a courtesy.
A spokesman added that the monitoring that was done on Mr MacKenzie's estate had involved the use a vehicle provided by the Forestry Commission as part of its support of red kite conservation.
Checking on the health of the Highland's red kite population has added significance following the deaths last year of 16 kites and six buzzards. Some of the birds were poisoned.
The RSPB spokesman said the charity wanted to be clear that the Gairloch and Conon Estate had not been implicated.
Responding to Mr MacKenzie's signs, the spokesman said: "Whilst we would prefer a constructive dialogue with anyone who disagrees with our charitable work, especially in local communities, it is of course the right of any individual to erect a sign on their private land expressing their opinion, if they wish to do so." | Andrew Little, the head of New Zealand's main opposition Labour Party, has resigned - less than two months before the country's general elections.

Please provide a summary for the content below. | The work ran five years over schedule and millions of euros over budget.
The Dutch state museum has been closed since 2003. Renovation was delayed by flooding, asbestos and a dispute over access for cyclists.
"It was kind of Murphy's Law," says museum director Wim Pijbes. "What could go wrong did go wrong."
Pijbes added: "It has been closed for 10 years, but now it can go on for decades."
On Wednesday, Johannes Vermeer's The Milkmaid was rehung, making it the last major work to return to the museum in the heart of Amsterdam.
It sits in the Gallery of Honour, a breathtaking cathedral to the Dutch Golden Age, showcasing works by Rembrandt, Jan Steen and Frans Hals.
The old masters draw the eye, but so do the intricately decorated ceilings and pillars that frame them - all painstakingly recreated after being painted over in the post-war years.
In the halls flanking the grand gallery, the decoration is more modern. British artist Richard Wright, a former Turner Prize winner, has dusted the ceilings with almost 50,000 stars, hand-painted in a swirling, shifting constellation.
It all serves to set up the Rijksmuseum's biggest star - Rembrandt's Night Watch.
A gigantic Baroque painting of 17th Century city guards teeming with drama and movement, it is the only work to be hung in its original place.
"Everything has changed," says Taco Dibbits, the museum's director of collections.
"We have more than one million objects and we used to display them by material. You had a gallery for glass, a gallery for porcelain, a gallery for paintings.
"Now we have mixed all the media and presented the visitor the story of art from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century."
So the museum's paintings mingle among cabinets, kitchenware, magazine covers, doll's houses and pottery in a splendid, higgledy-piggledy array.
It illustrates the cross-pollination between decorative and visual art - for instance, how Japanese prints inspired a Parisian vase-maker, whose designs prompted Van Gogh to paint Amandelboom In Bloei (Almond Tree In Bloom) - but it also presents some striking juxtapositions.
In the 20th Century Gallery, a kitsch German chess set, with snipers as pawns and a Panzer tank for the kings, is vaguely comedic, until visitors notice the Auschwitz prison uniform worn by 16-year-old Dutch girl Isabel Wachenheimer, which hangs silently nearby in grim disapproval.
As Dibbets observes: "The works talk to each other".
In total, there are 800 years of Dutch history retold in more than 8,000 objects across the Rijksmuseum's 80 galleries.
There is a brand new entrance hall in the shape of a voluminous atrium, flooded with natural light from the five-storey-high glass ceiling.
Pijbes describes it as Amsterdam's equivalent to Tate Modern's Turbine Hall - a free-to-enter public auditorium that will host performances, parties and new exhibits.
By tunnelling under a cycle path that runs through the centre of the museum (the proposed closure of which caused uproar) it unites the east and west wings for the first time. It also created a few headaches.
"We found beautiful new spaces, but being below the building means you dig into water," Pijbes says.
In fact, with Amsterdam already under sea level, digging down meant the Rijksmuseum flooded. Workers floated around in dinghies as they fought the water table.
Even now, sceptics wonder if the museum is jeopardising its collection.
"For foreigners, it is really frightening to be under sea level, and even more frightening to have the collection below sea level," says Pijbes.
"But for the Dutch, it's everyday life."
He insists that "complex engineering work" means the lower galleries are safe. But these aren't the only measures taken to protect the artworks.
The museum is newly illuminated by 3,800 individual LED lights, which lack the paint-destroying heat and UV rays of incandescent bulbs.
They were installed by Dutch lighting specialists Philips, who also claim the LEDs enhance the viewing experience.
"Incandescent lights focus on ambers and reds," says the company's chief design officer, Rogier van der Heide. "The LED adds a beautiful return of the blues and greens. The cooler colours are clearer... So we get to see the full beauty of the colour spectrum."
Visitors will get to decide for themselves when the Rijksmuseum throws open its doors on 13 April.
After the gala opening, hosted by the abdicating Queen, the first day's entry will be free. After that, the directors predict more than two million people will come to the gallery every year, restoring it as one of Europe's most important museums.
What's more, Dibbets hopes visitors will leave with an appreciation of how art and society developed hand-in-hand over the last eight centuries.
"Chronology is a fantastic way of ordering your memories," he says, "and this museum is the memory of The Netherlands." | When Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands officially reopens the Rijksmuseum next week, it will mark the end of a painful restoration project. |

Write a brief summary of the document. | The Fed has been buying bonds to lower long-term interest rates and boost growth since September 2012.
A end to stimulus efforts indicates the Fed believes the US economy can continue to grow without its support.
Currently, the bank is buying $35bn (£20bn) of bonds monthly.
That is down from a high of $85bn in January, when the US central bank first began trimming its monthly bond purchases by $10bn a month.
The minutes from the 17-18 June meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) revealed that the central bankers planned to continue their $10bn cuts until one final $15bn trim in October.
"If the economy progresses about as the Committee expects...this final reduction would occur following the October meeting," the minutes said.
US markets - which had been trading up for the day - shed a few points in the wake of the announcement, which many investors and analysts had long been expecting.
Investors had been unsure about the pace of the Fed's cuts, and had put the end of the stimulus programme at either October or mid-December.
By naming an exact date, the Fed has attempted to relieve that uncertainty.
Now, the speculation on Wall Street will be when the central bank will raise its short-term interest rate - known as the federal funds rate - which has been at 0% since the 2008 financial crisis, when it slashed rates to boost growth.
Critics of the bond-buying stimulus programme - which is known as "quantitative easing - have argued that by keeping rates extremely low for a long period of time, the Fed has forced investors into riskier areas like stocks or corporate debt.
That has led to fears of a bubble, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average topped 17,000 points for the first time last week.
However, Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen recently sought to allay fears about increased risk in the financial sector.
In a speech last week in front of the International Monetary Fund, Ms Yellen said that while she did "see pockets of increased risk-taking across the financial system", the Fed still had many tools at its disposal to act should certain sectors begin to overheat. | The Federal Reserve will end its stimulus programme in October if US economic growth continues at its current pace, according to minutes from its June meeting. |

"If this FA Cup final was to be the beginning of the end for Roberto Martinez and Roberto Mancini, one was leaving on a magic carpet while the other was being smuggled out of the back door"
Ben Watson's 90th-minute goal gave Wigan their first trophy in their 81-year history and made it a miserable day for Mancini and his players as last season's Premier League champions will finish without any silverware this season.
"Our target when we started the season was to win the Premier League," said Mancini. "But I think our mistakes started in the last transfer market. We didn't do enough to our team."
On reports in Spain that City have already agreed a deal with Pellegrini, he added: "I don't know if it is true or not. I don't think so. I do know football and in football anything can happen. In one or two weeks you can know if it's true or not.
"I don't need to ask the club about it. There is no reason to ask."
Mancini, who was seen in conversation on the Wembley touchline before the game with City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak, said: "Do you think the chairman told me before the game 'don't worry'?
"We will see if it is true in the next two weeks. If it is not true you have written stupid things in the last six months. If it is true I'm stupid because I don't understand this.

Morison met Shane Ferguson's angled cross to shoot through the legs of substitute keeper Heurelho Gomes.
It was no more than Millwall deserved - they hit the bar through Lee Gregory after just 17 seconds and forced two fine saves from Gomes.
Watford, semi-finalists last season, managed just one shot on target.
Gomes, meanwhile, kept out volleys from both Gregory and Morison, before the latter landed the decisive blow.
FA Cup fifth round draw: BBC One on Monday from around 19:20 GMT
Millwall have now beaten two Premier League sides in this season's FA Cup, and this performance was every bit as impressive as the victory over Bournemouth three weeks ago.
With a league match against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium less than 54 hours after the end of this tie, Hornets boss Walter Mazzarri made seven changes to his team.
Not only did his fringe players fail to impress, he also lost goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon, who was carried off on a stretcher in the first half after challenging Gregory.
The Hornets are still awaiting international clearance for forward M'Baye Niang, signed on loan from AC Milan, while Mauro Zarate is still suspended from his time at Fiorentina.
The sooner they are available the better as far as Mazzarri is concerned, with Watford, 14th in the table, left to focus on securing their top-flight status.
Reaching the fifth round of the FA Cup is nothing new to Millwall - they managed it as recently as 2013.
And there is a feeling the Lions are heading in the right direction this season under manager Neil Harris, a former Millwall striker.
The 39-year-old has assembled a group of hard-working and talented players who are challenging for a place in the League One play-offs.
Gregory, who was playing for non-league Halifax three seasons ago, could have taken home the match ball but for Gomes, while the cross from substitute Ferguson for the winner was exquisite.
Morison, in his second spell at Millwall, finished superbly to earn his side a richly deserved victory.
Millwall boss Neil Harris: "We were excellent. In the first half we were outstanding but I was starting to think 'will it come?' But we got that moment of magic and fortunately the experience shined.
"This club and team epitomise everything what the FA Cup is about. They are an honest bunch, organised and have quality."
Watford boss Walter Mazzarri: "I'm very disappointed and I am sorry for the fans. We put out the formation we thought was best considering that in two days' time we are playing against Arsenal.
"If the players have the fire I have inside of me at this moment then I'm sure we will react to this result. We need to be like warriors that fight for each ball."
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright speaking on BBC One
"I don't understand why Watford rested all those players. I don't know what else they are playing for. Steve Morison was immense for Millwall. He epitomised everything Millwall were about."

Can you write a brief summary of this passage? | Wintery showers, moving offshore overnight on Monday, mean there is a widespread risk of ice on untreated surfaces on Tuesday morning.
Motorists are advised to be aware of possible hazardous travel conditions.
The Met Office forecast comes after snow closed schools in Gwynedd, Anglesey, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire on Monday, with roads also affected.
The alert covers coastal areas in north west, south west and mid Wales until 10:00 GMT on Tuesday.
The strike of 40,000 teachers in the Canadian province began in June. A last-minute attempt to bring teachers back failed last week.
Key sticking points between the provincial government and the teacher's union include pay and class size.
The British Columbia government says it will not pass a law to force teachers back to work.
Extended summer camps and childcare options were filling up across British Columbia, broadcaster CBC reports.
The province has offered C$40 ($37; £22) per day per child under 12 to pay for childcare costs, but it will not be paid out immediately.
The 25 shows include dates in London and at Dublin's Croke Park, where the band played a triumphant homecoming show on the original Joshua Tree tour.
Released in 1987, the album included hits such as Where the Streets Have No Name and With or Without You.
It sold 25 million copies, turning the band into stadium-filling superstars.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, U2 guitarist The Edge said the band had not yet decided how to structure the concerts.
"The show might not necessarily start with track one, side one - Where the Streets Have No Name - because we feel like maybe we need to build up to that moment," he said.
"So we're still in the middle of figuring out exactly how the running order will go."
Alongside the hits, fans will be looking forward to hearing some rarely-performed album tracks, including Trip Through Your Wires and In God's Country.
The song Red Hill Mining Town, a response to the 1980s miners' strike, will also receive its first live performance, having never featured in the band's setlists - although they rehearsed it during soundchecks in 1987.
"Recently I listened back to The Joshua Tree for the first time in nearly 30 years," said U2 frontman Bono, "It's quite an opera.
"A lot of emotions which feel strangely current, love, loss, broken dreams, seeking oblivion, polarisation… all the greats.
"I've sung some of these songs a lot but never all of them. I'm up for it, if our audience is as excited as we are… it's gonna be a great night."
"It seems like we have come full circle from when The Joshua Tree songs were originally written, with global upheaval, extreme right wing politics and some fundamental human rights at risk," added guitarist The Edge.
"To celebrate the album - as the songs seem so relevant and prescient of these times too - we decided to do these shows, it feels right for now. We're looking forward to it."
Support acts confirmed for the tour include OneRepublic, The Lumineers and, in the UK and Europe, Noel Gallagher.
"It will be both a pleasure and an honour to play my part in what still remains the greatest show on earth," said Gallagher.
U2 also plan to release a new album, Songs of Experience, later this year.

Please summarize the following text. | Somizi Mhlongo said in a video posted on Instagram that a guest pastor at Grace Bible Church in Soweto had said being gay was "unnatural".
The TV and radio personality said he was deeply offended by the words.
Gay marriage is legal in South Africa and the pastor's reported comments have sparked debate about religious views.
Some have called on the church to denounce homophobia.
During the sermon, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, who was visiting from Ghana, is reported to have said: "There is nothing like that [homosexuality] in nature."
Reacting to the comments, Mhlongo said: "The church was cheering. I am not going to sit there and listen to someone offend me. This is who I am. I am a gay man, get it straight into your skull. My soul is alright with my God."
The hashtag #GraceBibleChurch has been trending in South Africa, with some criticising the sermon and others defending it.
The church has since said that while it does not condone homophobia, these views are held by certain people not only in the church but in wider society.
"That was not the only thing that he was talking about. There are other people who are smokers who were offended because he also referred to a lot of lifestyle issues. And a lot of people who are having multiple partners were very offended," broadcaster ENCA quoted Reverend Ezekiel Mathole as saying.
The controversy about a sermon delivered in one of Soweto's biggest churches by a visiting pastor from Ghana demonstrates how sensitive the subject of homosexuality still is on our continent. South Africans are steadily coming to terms with being a tolerant society when it comes to matters of sexual orientation. But in doing so, they may be out of kilter with the rest of the continent.
Take the South African position at the UN in July 2016 for instance, when its ambassador in New York abstained on a vote on setting up a gay rights watchdog. This was something that the constitution back home would support. So it was expected that the ambassador would have voted for the motion.
Explaining the country's unusual stance when it had in the past advocated for gay rights, Ambassador Nozipho Mxakato-Diseko said: "We learned from our struggle against apartheid that if we are clear about the end goal, which for us is the end of violence and discrimination against the LGBTI persons, a better approach is building maximum consensus."
She later explained further on a local radio show that the majority of African states had voted against the motion and therefore she would have been out of step with them.
So as this debate rages and as the television personality, Somizi Mhlongo, leads the charge on social media against what he called an offensive sermon, it is important to recognise that part of the solution in this debate lies with the concept of time. Many people tell me they're still trying to come to terms with the more liberal constitution but they need time. | A South African church is trending on social media after a local celebrity said he walked out of a service because of a homophobic sermon. |
Please summarize the passage below. | Singapore's Joseph Schooling defeated decorated US Olympian Michael Phelps in the 100m butterfly swimming race and won his country's first-ever Olympic gold medal.
The 21-year-old Singaporean won in an Olympic record time of 50.39 seconds.
Phelps came in second, earning a silver on 51.14 seconds - tied with South Africa's Chad Le Clos and Hungary's Laszlo Cseh.
"I'm just ecstatic. I need it to sink in," Schooling told reporters after his historic swim.
"It feels great - kind of feels surreal right now, it's crazy," he said.
"I really can't describe how this moment feels. All the adrenaline is running through my veins right now. It's a dream come true."
Celebration and praise has poured in from his countrymen back home, who flooded social media early on Saturday morning with congratulations for their man in Rio.
"We are elated, so proud," said Singaporean Li Hsing, a mother-of-one at a local swimming pool.
"I was just sitting here watching my daughter swim and my phone kept going off with messages, for us Singaporeans - this is our first gold."
Others like 18-year-old student Gerald Gan said Schooling would go down in modern Singapore history as being its first Olympic champion.
"To my friends and me, Schooling has always been the name to watch and support because he is a Singaporean, born and bred here," he told the BBC.
"We just celebrated Singapore's 51st birthday and this Olympic win was such a perfect present for our country.
"Onward Singapore, Joseph Schooling has brought pride to our home."
Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong also took to Facebook to congratulate the new Olympian.
"This is Singapore's first Olympic gold medal ever and also our first medal for ‪the Rio Olympics," he wrote in a post that gathered tens of thousands of likes and comments.
"My heartiest congratulations to Joseph Isaac Schooling for his historic gold medal win. It is an incredible feat to compete among the world's best - stay focused and emerge victorious.
"You made us very proud today."
But to many Singaporeans following Schooling's Olympic journey, it was all about the emotions of seeing him meet his childhood idol back in the Olympic swimming pool - eight years after they first met.
Many on Facebook shared memes and photos of the swimmers' meeting in 2008.
"[This must have been playing out] in Joseph's mind: Doesn't matter if I win or lose, it was an honour to compete in Olympic swimming besides my childhood idol," said Koyuki Everdeen.
"I can really see that he put in a lot of hardwork and effort. And that's why he won first place."
Keith Power said: "Just shows the influence sports stars can have on impressionable young minds. He was obviously inspired - well done Joseph!"
Oli To thinks it must have been "a dream come true" for the Singapore swimmer.
"To swim and compete with Michael Phelps, Joseph is a winner and world-class whether he wins an Olympic medal or not."
"Their difference in timing was only a fraction of a second." | It isn't every day you come face to face with your childhood idol - and defeat him at the Olympics. |

The city's mayor says about 500 residents have been displaced. Two residents and two firefighters suffered minor injuries.
The fire was still smouldering on Thursday morning.
Local media reported the fire begin at 17:00 local time (10:00 GMT) and continued to burn for hours.

Judy Huth's lawsuit alleges that Cosby molested her at the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles in 1974 and told her to lie about her age.
Cosby's lawyer had no immediate comment on the accusation.
Cosby, 77, has faced a series of renewed allegations that he drugged and sexually assaulted more than a dozen women.
He has not been charged in connection with any of the allegations, which his lawyers have described as "discredited" and "defamatory".
Ms Huth's lawsuit says she and a 16-year-old friend met Mr Cosby on a film set and were later invited to his tennis club, where they were given alcohol before being taken to the Playboy mansion.
There, Ms Huth alleges that she was forced to carry out a sexual act against her will. The lawsuit states that the teenagers were told to lie about their age, and say they were 19 if asked.
It says the incident caused Ms Huth "psychological damage and mental anguish". She is seeking unspecified damages.
The claims in the lawsuit are the first in which a woman has alleged that Cosby assaulted her when she was under age, the Associated Press reported.
In 2005 a woman who accused Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting her brought a lawsuit against him, but the case was settled out of court.
The new suit came a day after Cosby resigned from the board of trustees of Temple University in Philadelphia, where he was once a student, amid the allegations.
Several broadcasters have shelved projects with Mr Cosby, including NBC and Netflix.
Oracle, which owns Java, argued that Google had infringed its copyright and had sought almost $9bn (£6.1bn) in damages.
The long-running legal battle has been closely watched as Java is widely used, and Android runs 80% of the world's mobile devices.
Oracle says it will appeal to the US Supreme Court.
"We strongly believe that Google developed Android by illegally copying core Java technology to rush into the mobile device market," said Oracle lawyer Dorian Daley.
"Oracle brought this lawsuit to put a stop to Google's illegal behaviour. We believe there are numerous grounds for appeal and we plan to bring this case back to the federal circuit on appeal."
Google, and its parent company Alphabet, argued that they should be able to use Java for free under the "fair use" clause.
Fair use under US copyright law allows some access to material without the permission of the rights holder.
The jury at the US District Court in San Francisco unanimously upheld that argument.
In a statement Google described today's verdict as "a win for the Android ecosystem, for the Java programming community, and for software developers who rely on open and free programming languages to build innovative consumer products."
Oracle had argued the success of Android was in danger of "destroying" interest in Java.
The "widespread dominance" that Android had achieved in the mobile phone market had done "irreversible" damage to Java's potential market, said Oracle.
That success was based on Google using 37 Java packages without permission, it argued.
The case had previously been to trial in 2012, but that ended in a deadlocked jury.
The incident happened when the boy was on a scooter on Burnland Place in Elrick just after 19:00 on Thursday.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Mohammed Moshin Ameen, of east London, admitted five counts of encouraging the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism on Twitter.
He admitted inviting support for IS and disseminating a terrorist publication.
He was remanded in custody at the Old Bailey until sentencing on 28 April.
The tweets were sent on the social media site in the six months between May and October last year.
The charge of disseminating a terrorist publication relates to a link to a video entitled "For The Sake Of Allah", which was posted on Twitter in September.
Ameen appeared in court via video-link from Wandsworth Prison and spoke only to confirm his name and enter his pleas.
The MP for Wentworth and Dearne said he had not originally intended to stand but was "dismayed at how narrow and shallow the debate has been so far".
He becomes the seventh candidate, meaning at least one or two of those already declared will lack enough MPs' support to make the ballot paper.
But Mr Healey said he was confident of gaining enough support.
Also standing are Rushanara Ali, Ben Bradshaw, Angela Eagle, Stella Creasy, Caroline Flint and Tom Watson.
Writing in the Guardian, Mr Healey said: "I know I'm a late entrant when others have been up and running for some time. But the scale of the defeat, the complexity of the lessons and the huge task of holding things together while we rebuild requires a unifier - someone who can work across the political breadth of the party and with the unions."
He added: "Our new leader must be able to give their total attention to establishing themselves and re-establishing Labour with the country.
"Labour's internal affairs have to be left largely to others but their deputy must be much more than a party manager and motivator."
Mr Healey spent four years at the Treasury under Gordon Brown and was also a housing minister before becoming shadow health secretary for a year from October 2010.
He said he had been encouraged by colleagues to add his name to an already-crowded field.
To be on the ballot each candidate needs nomination from 35 MPs, but with only 232 Labour MPs in total, not all seven of those currently standing will reach that target.
Mr Healey has already nominated Yvette Cooper for the party leadership.

Give a brief summary of the content. | Activist monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the pull-back in Syria's second city came after days of heavy fighting.
State media confirmed the military had taken over the whole of the old city.
Government forces now control about 75% of eastern Aleppo, held by the rebels for the past four years.
The rebels, who had been left with just a spit of land north-east of the citadel after recent government advances, abandoned it by Wednesday morning, retreating to territory they still hold further south.
In a separate development, Syrian state news agency Sana reported that several Israeli missiles struck the Mazzeh military air base outside the capital Damascus overnight, causing a fire but no casualties.
The SOHR said remaining rebel-held areas in the south-east of the city came under heavy artillery fire overnight.
At least 15 people were killed in government bombardments on Tuesday, it added.
Tens of thousands of civilians are still trapped in the last of the rebel-held districts.
The BBC's Lyse Doucet in Aleppo says officials there are preparing for another exodus, as families try to flee under fire in an extremely dire situation.
A statement by the rebel Aleppo Leadership Council said civilians were in great danger, and it would support any initiative to ease their suffering.
"Civilians should be either protected or evacuated to a safe area where they will not be under the mercy of [Syrian President Bashar al-]Assad and his henchmen," it said.
It proposed:
Food supplies are exhausted in eastern Aleppo and there are no functioning hospitals after months of heavy bombardment.
However, the Syrian government has ruled out any further truces in Aleppo, and Russia and China on Monday vetoed a UN Security Council resolution on a week-long ceasefire.
French President Francois Hollande responded to the veto by accusing Russia of "systematic obstruction" which "bolsters the regime of Bashar al-Assad in its destructive drive which is harming the defenceless civilian population".
In a conference call on Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described all the remaining rebels in eastern Aleppo as "terrorists," saying that they had united around the jihadist group formerly known as al-Nusra Front.
Meanwhile the Russian defence ministry reported that a Russian military adviser in Syria had been killed by rebel artillery fire.
Col Ruslan Galitsky died of his wounds several days after the attack, on a residential area of government-held western Aleppo, it said.
London Fire Brigade told people living near to the fire to keep their doors and windows closed to protect them from the smoke.

Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Not least because now, 10 months before the building reopens following its renovation, there is no curtain.
But that is a minor hurdle for the volunteers who have already raised the £1.9m needed to fund the comprehensive facelift.
In their final push to finish the theatre, The Guild of Players, the volunteers who own the building, are breaking with the fundraising norm.
They hope to raise about £20,000 in cash donations but they have also appealed for donations of the physical items they need to create a working theatre.
In addition to a good quality stage curtain, the guild has drawn up a wish list of items including computers for a media suite, a washing machine for cleaning costumes and a industrial freezer for storing interval ice cream.
Group member Kristen Layne said: "In terms of props and theatre-type things, we have a tonne of that which will be going back in. We are certainly not starting from scratch.
"What we need is things like tables and chairs in the bar. We have always just had folding tables because we had multi-use rooms.
"And we'll have a much bigger lobby - we never had room before for chairs and counters."
The guild hope they can persuade businesses to donate large items and that individual supporters will make cash donations.
They are also looking to make money from selling props, costumes and other theatre paraphernalia which has accumulated in the building.
In their first jumble sale they raised £800. Amongst the items on sale were ties in "50 shades of grey" and about 60 waistcoats.

Other improvements included in the expansion are aimed at attracting cruise ships to the port.
Aberdeen Harbour Board described the project as a "major new chapter" in the port's history.
Board chief executive Colin Parker said: "We are delighted that, after six years of detailed planning and extensive consultation with our many stakeholders and the regulatory authorities, we are now in a position to approve commencement of construction.
"Aberdeen Harbour Board, in partnership with Dragados UK, a main contractor, will develop facilities over the next three years that will represent a step change in the marine support capabilities in Scotland.
"These will transform the port's ability to accommodate the trend for larger vessels we are witnessing across a whole range of industries.
"The expansion will afford existing customers the opportunity to diversify and expand their interests, whilst attracting new customers and markets to the port, including up-scaled decommissioning activity, a more significant share of the available cruise vessel fleet and larger more cost-effective commercial vessels."
Transport Minister Humza Yousaf said: "This is excellent news for Aberdeen and the Scottish maritime industry, as the signing of the construction contract means this nationally significant project can now get underway in earnest.
"The significant investment will bring jobs and business to Aberdeen, supporting the local and national economy.
"The historic harbour will be transformed to accommodate larger vessels, opening up potential new revenue streams and offering customers world-class marine support facilities.
"These are exciting times for Aberdeen Harbour."
However, residents from the Torry area who formed the Battle for the Bay of Nigg Committee say they remain against the plan.

Summarize the information in the following section. | In 1939, the year World War Two broke out, Churchill penned a popular science article in which he mused about the likelihood of extra-terrestrial life.
The 11-page typed draft, probably intended for a newspaper, was updated in the 1950s but never published.
In the 1980s, the essay was passed to a US museum, where it sat until its rediscovery last year.
The document was uncovered in the National Churchill Museum in Fulton, Missouri, by the institution's new director Timothy Riley. Mr Riley then passed it to the Israeli astrophysicist and author Mario Livio who describes the contents in the latest issue of Nature journal.
Churchill's interest in science is well-known: he was the first British prime minister to employ a science adviser, Frederick Lindemann, and met regularly with scientists such as Sir Bernard Lovell, a pioneer of radio astronomy.
This documented engagement with the scientific community was partly related to the war effort, but he is credited with funding UK laboratories, telescopes and technology development that spawned post-war discoveries in fields from molecular genetics to X-ray crystallography.
The Tizard Mission: Start of a special relationship?
Despite this background, Dr Livio described the discovery of the essay as a "great surprise".
He told the BBC's Inside Science programme: "[Mr Riley] said, 'I would like you to take a look at something.' He gave me a copy of this essay by Churchill. I saw the title, Are We Alone in the Universe? and I said, 'What? Churchill wrote about something like this?'"
Dr Livio says the wartime leader reasoned like a scientist about the likelihood of life on other planets.
Churchill's thinking mirrors many modern arguments in astrobiology - the study of the potential for life on other planets. In his essay, the former prime minister builds on the Copernican Principle - the idea that human life on Earth shouldn't be unique given the vastness of the Universe.
Churchill defined life as the ability to "breed and multiply" and noted the vital importance of liquid water, explaining: "all living things of the type we know require [it]."
More than 50 years before the discovery of exoplanets, he considered the likelihood that other stars would host planets, concluding that a large fraction of these distant worlds "will be the right size to keep on their surface water and possibly an atmosphere of some sort". He also surmised that some would be "at the proper distance from their parent sun to maintain a suitable temperature".
Churchill also outlined what scientists now describe as the "habitable" or "Goldilocks" zone - the narrow region around a star where it is neither too hot nor too cold for life.
Correctly, the essay predicts great opportunities for exploration of the Solar System.
"One day, possibly even in the not very distant future, it may be possible to travel to the Moon, or even to Venus and Mars," Churchill wrote.
But the politician concluded that Venus and Earth were the only places in the Solar System capable of hosting life, whereas we now know that icy moons around Jupiter and Saturn are promising targets in the search for extra-terrestrial biology. However, such observations are forgivable given scientific knowledge at the time of writing.
In an apparent reference to the troubling events unfolding in Europe, Churchill wrote: "I for one, am not so immensely impressed by the success we are making of our civilisation here that I am prepared to think we are the only spot in this immense universe which contains living, thinking creatures, or that we are the highest type of mental and physical development which has ever appeared in the vast compass of space and time."
Churchill was a prolific writer: in the 1920s and 30s, he penned popular science essays on topics as diverse as evolution and fusion power. Mr Riley, director of the Churchill Museum, believes the essay on alien life was written at the former prime minister's home in Chartwell in 1939, before World War II broke out.
It may have been informed by conversations with the wartime leader's friend, Lindemann, who was a physicist, and might have been intended for publication in the News of the World newspaper.

Summarize the information given below. | The service's trust says it has received 19,151 "non-urgent" calls since August, 2014, with only 318 of these requiring an ambulance.
A woman from Rhyl, Denbighshire, also told 999 she had "pulled her side reaching for her charger".
The trust said such calls put more needy patients' lives "at risk".
The Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust said a patient in Pontypool, Torfaen, told a call handler they had a burning face because they "tried to eat a Scotch bonnet chilli pepper", in October 2014.
A caller from Wrexham also complained in November, 2014, of an injury after they had "punched a punch machine".
The trust's head of clinical services, Richard Lee, said: "Calls of this type put people's lives at risk as the ambulance attending that patient is not available for a serious road accident, heart attack or stroke.
"Once again, we urge the public to 'choose well' to ensure busy emergency services are available for those who need them most urgently."
The lawsuit claims she was fired after refusing his sexual advances.
Ms Carlson worked for the conservative-leaning US network for 11 years before her contract expired in June.
Mr Ailes denies the allegations and alleges Ms Carlson filed the suit in retaliation for not having her contract renewed.
Ms Carlson first co-presented the morning programme Fox & Friends before moving to her own show, The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson, in 2013.
The lawsuit, obtained by Politico, claims that when she moved to her own show, Mr Ailes "reduced her compensation and withheld network support and promotion" for her show.
"I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you'd be good and better and I'd be good and better," Mr Ailes allegedly said.
Ms Carlson, who won the Miss America contest in 1989, alleges that Ailes said he had "slept with three former Miss Americas, but not with her".
The complaint also alleges that Mr Ailes instructed her to turn around in his office so he could look at her backside and that fellow anchor Steve Doocy "regularly [treated] her in a sexist and condescending way" and regarded her as a "blond female prop".
Mr Ailes also allegedly called her a "man hater", "killer" and that she needed to "get along with the boys".
It is not her first time dealing with the matter - in her book, Getting Real, she writes about the experience of a television executive who "threw himself on top of [her] and stuck his tongue down [her throat]".
"Notwithstanding her strong performance and tireless work ethic," the lawsuit reads, "Ailes denied Ms Carlson fair compensation, desirable assignments and other career-enhancing opportunities in retaliation for her complaints of harassment and discrimination because she rejected his sexual advances."
But Mr Ailes said Ms Carlson had "conveniently" decided to pursue the case when she realised her contract would not be renewed.
"This defamatory lawsuit is not only offensive, it is wholly without merit and will be defended vigorously," he said.
Fox parent company 21st Century Fox said it had full confidence in Mr Ailes but would conduct an internal investigation. | A complaint of athlete's foot and a man "feeling knackered" are among the time-wasting 999 calls the Welsh Ambulance Service has received.

What is the summary of the given information? | About 160 people died when HMS Anglia struck a German mine close to the Kent coast on 17 November 1915.
The ship was carrying soldiers, some severely injured in the Battle of Loos, back from France to England.
Many of the casualties were soldiers with amputated limbs as well as medical staff who perished trying to save them.
Campaigners have long-called for the ship to be protected - to safeguard the remains and honour those who died.
It has now been included in a new list of wrecks covered by the Protection of Military Remains Act.
Historian Dr Peter Marsden said it was "wonderful to have succeeded at long last" but he was highly critical of the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
"This huge story lying on the sea bed needs protection. It shouldn't take years and years to get it done," he said.
"It's not just protection of the objects that might be taken by divers, it's the recognition by the government that these are the people who died in service to their country."
An MoD spokesman said: "The Ministry of Defence ensures that all wrecks, including HMHS Anglia, are protected under the Act if they meet the correct criteria."
He said a survey carried out by English Heritage in October 2014 pinpointed the vessel's exact location and condition, information that was critical for her to be considered for designation under the Act.
The shipwreck will be given protective status in March, which is the next available opportunity, he added.
The ship sank within 15 minutes of striking the mine off the coast of Folkestone.
Dr Marsden said many died on their bunks as the ship went down. "It must have been a terrible death," he said.
The change, which comes into force on 3 March, will mean divers are still free to explore the site but they must not touch or remove anything they find. | The remains of a First World War hospital ship that sank in the English Channel more than 100 years ago has been given legal protection. |
Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | Mar Gudmandsson said the current debt problems in the eurozone were not due to the common currency, but rather a failure in banking regulation.
Iceland is still in recession after its banks collapsed in 2008, forcing their nationalisation.
It opened membership talks with the European Union earlier this year.
Speaking to the BBC World Service, Mr Gudmandsson said Iceland could exist both "inside and outside" the eurozone.
"There is no panacea in terms of the exchange rate regime. You can always get yourself into problems if you try hard enough," he said.
Mr Gudmandsson added that the dramatic fall in the value of Iceland's currency following the banking crisis had been "very difficult" for companies and households, and joining the euro would lessen the exchange rate risk for the financial sector.
The future of the eurozone has been questioned after the Irish Republic became the second eurozone member after Greece to seek a bailout. And some analysts say the debt crisis could worsen and spread to other members, putting the euro at risk.
But Mr Gudmandsson said he didn't believe the common currency was the problem, rather that banks were "undercapitalised... and that regulation and supervision wasn't strict enough".
The European Union has begun membership talks with Iceland, and the country is viewed as having a strong case for joining because of its already close trading and economic links with the EU.
However, it has still not resolved a dispute with the UK and the Netherlands over money owed as a result of the collapse of the Icesave online bank. The two countries want Iceland to reimburse them to the value of £3.1bn ($5bn).
While appreciating that joining the euro could have some positive effects, some in Iceland fear that EU membership could harm the country's traditional fishing and whaling industries.
Meanwhile Iceland's central bank has warned that the banking system is still burdened by large numbers of non-performing loans.
In its latest financial stability report, it says about 39% of commercial bank loans are in default, down from 42% at the start of 2010.
It also says banks should be ready for the withdrawal of deposits by foreign investors once capital controls are relaxed.
The controls were introduced following the crisis to protect the banks and to stabilise Iceland's currency, the krona. | The governor of the central bank of Iceland has told the BBC that joining the euro could still be a "good option", despite the debt crisis. |
Give a concise summary of the passage below. | The university had a £750,000 budget for the Docklands campus but spent £319,000, and four staff were employed.
It rented the space but did not go any further having "tested the market".
Unions previously criticised USW for "wasting money" when it said it was no longer viable to retain both campuses in Newport, placing 90 jobs at risk.
The Caerleon campus is being closed and no new students are being recruited for courses there.
A USW spokesman said: "Withdrawing the London centre project earlier than originally planned was a prudent decision taken due to changes in market conditions.
"The financial investment in the London centre will be included in the university's financial statements in due course."
The spokesman added the business case had been predicated on recruiting international students, but changes to visa regulations had "introduced a level of complexity" which had affected the project's viability.
He said they had had applicants but had made the decision not to enrol any.
Gareth Morgans, GMB regional organiser for Wales, said: "It's absolutely a slap in the face. Our members feel betrayed by the university.
"I have up to 90 members at Caerleon University in Newport at risk of redundancy.
"To them this news is devastating; that such a frivolous waste of money has been undertaken by the university on a venture that as far as we can see was never going to materialise.
"They've recruited staff there. If this money had been put into Caerleon to repair the building where it needs repair and to recruiting students, I am sure Caerleon could be vibrant."
The MP for Torfaen, Nick Thomas-Symonds, said: "Clearly if no students have enrolled on the course there must be very serious concerns about the value for money of the course.
"What I will be seeking is answers as to precisely why that has happened and indeed why that was given a priority at the same time there were issues with the Caerleon campus."
But Ken Richards, a former member of the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales, backed the university's London move.
He told BBC Radio Wales' Good Morning Wales programme: "I think they were right to try but perhaps they might have looked at the competition first to see what they were likely to come up against from more prestigious universities."
The stock dropped around 5% in its first day of conditional trading to 235p, after being priced at 250p per share by the firm.
Shares opened at 244p and dropped as low as 231p at one point, even though it had been over-subscribed.
Its owners, private equity firms Permira, Charterhouse and CVC, sold their entire stakes in the AA.
The motoring association initially said the company would be valued at about £1.385bn, but its market capitalisation dropped to £1.313bn on Monday.
Institutional investors, including Aviva, Blackrock, Legal & General, Invesco, and Lansdowne Partners, backed a management buy-in led by former Green Flag boss Bob MacKenzie, who has been appointed as the AA's executive chairman.
"We will work with the existing management and the AA's loyal workforce to deliver an enhanced experience for all our members and customers, and to serve the broader needs of the UK motorist," Mr MacKenzie said in a statement.
"Our offer will enable the AA to become an independent publicly-listed company and we look forward to creating substantial value for all our stakeholders."
The firm's stock market flotation echoed that of sister company Saga, which closed flat on its debut.
The AA was formed by motoring enthusiasts in 1905 primarily to avoid police speed traps. It is best known for its breakdown recovery service, but also sells insurance and financial products.
The organisation voted to demutualise in 1999 and to be acquired by Centrica for £1.1bn.

Write a summary for this information. | Around ten miles of trails have been published online after an environment group borrowed a special camera from technology company Google.
Using the backpack camera, volunteers walked the paths recording imagery which took almost a year to stitch together.
People can now view the paths in 360 degree detail, using the information to plan a day out.
The Belfast Hills Partnership hopes it will encourage more people to use the trails. the special backpack contained 15 cameras each taking 24 images a minute.
GPS technology logged location information. Four volunteers were used to do the work last summer.
The result is now available through Google Maps' Street View function.
There are also links on the Belfast Hills website http://belfasthills.org/.
Jim Bradley was one of those who lugged the equipment around the hills.
"It weighed about three stone, or nineteen kgs and by the time I got to the top of Cave Hill, it felt even heavier," he said.
People do not always react well when they spot the Google Street View car recording imagery and can sometimes make inappropriate gestures.
Mr Bradley said he did not think there had been such a reaction from the people whom they had met in the hills.
"But I haven't checked all the footage yet," he said. | For the first time, people are able to view miles of public paths around the Belfast hills thanks to some sophisticated technology and an internet giant. |
Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | Automatic weapons and rocket propelled grenades were among arms found when they intercepted the attackers' truck, police in the capital Bujumbura told the BBC Great Lakes Service.
The police have made two arrests.
At least 240 people have died since April, after the president decided to run for a controversial third term.
Zenon Ndaruvukanye escaped unhurt from the attack in Kajaga, western Bujumbura, in which his police officer bodyguard was shot dead.
People from both sides of Burundi's political divide have been killed in attacks on an almost daily basis in recent months.
The US said this week it will place sanctions on four current and former officials in Burundi in connection with the continuing violence there.
Earlier this month, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution strongly condemning the escalating violence.
The French-drafted resolution also paves the way for a possible deployment of blue-helmeted UN peacekeepers.
Burundi's constitutional court backed Mr Nkurunziza's third-term bid, as his first term as president did not count towards the constitutional two-term limit because he was chosen by MPs, rather than in a popular election.
Mr Nkurunziza was duly re-elected with 70% of the vote in July.

The company, which operates sites in Moodieburn and Bellshill, provides products for markets across the world.
The trading update led to the company's share price falling more than 20%.
The firm, which has seen its market valuation drop 44% since March, said it now planned to introduce new products and drive "production efficiencies".
Devro has grown with the rising demand for meat-based food from developing countries.
It makes collagen-based casings, mainly for sausages, with plants in Australia, the USA, China, the Czech Republic, and in North Lanarkshire.
Despite reporting improvements to sales in Russia and south-east Asia, the company said it had suffered problems with the transition to a new manufacturing plant in South Carolina.
In August, the firm reported problems with the transfer of customers onto new products and capacity constraints during the transition to the new factory.
As a result, revenue in South America fell 9% in the first half of the year.
With its trading update, the company announced plans to grow sales through "improved commercial capabilities", introducing new products and driving production efficiencies.
Those changes are expected to offset the fall in the volume of sales - partially in 2017 and fully in 2018.
The traditionally London-based club are moving 82 miles north of their current High Wycombe home to play in Coventry.
Nearly 3,000 people have signed a petition to protest against the move, which has seen the club buy a 50% stake in the Ricoh Arena as part of the deal.
Coventry City will continue to play there still as tenants of the stadium.
Wasps chief executive Nick Eastwood has previously described the move as a "watershed moment" in the club's history.
The club were reportedly an hour from administration when businessman Derek Richardson took over last year, but they continue to lose £3m a season playing at Wycombe Wanderers' Adams Park ground, and Eastwood has said the move will secure the long-term future of the team.
Wasps have played at Adams Park in High Wycombe for the past 12 years.
Coventry already has a long-established rugby union club, Coventry, which was formed more than 130 years ago and currently plays in National League One.
The city's councillors supported a deal to sell the authority's share in ACL - the company that runs the Ricoh Arena - to the Premiership club.
The council said the move guaranteed Coventry City Football Club's continuing tenancy at the stadium.

Loughries Primary School, just outside Newtownards in County Down, has 75 pupils.
It became an integrated school on 1 September following approval from former education minister John O'Dowd in 2015.
It is the 65th such school in Northern Ireland.
Originally opened in 1842, it is the oldest surviving school in the Newtownards area.
The decision to transform was taken following a ballot in favour of integration by the parents of its pupils.
Children from Protestant, Catholic and a variety of other backgrounds are taught together in integrated schools.
About 22,000 pupils - 7% of the school population - are educated in them.
The first integrated school, Lagan College in Belfast, opened in 1981 and there are now 45 primary schools and 20 post-primary schools across Northern Ireland.
They educate around 22,000 pupils, approximately 7% of the school population.
Any new integrated school must attract 30% of its pupils from the minority community in the area where the school is situated.
However, the growth of the sector has stalled in recent years.
A review of integrated education, also commissioned by Mr O'Dowd earlier this year, is due for completion imminently.
Keister spoke to Leone Stars goal keeper coach Tamba Moses and logistics officer Alusine Kabba three weeks ago, and allegedly called the SLFA President Isha Johansen 'corrupt.'
Moses and Kabba have also been banned indefinitely.
'These officials were found guilty of gross misconduct by bringing the name of the institution into disrepute," the SLFA said in a statement.
"The SLFA management will subsequently inform the suspended officials with regards development on their employment status."
The SLFA secretary general Christopher Kamara also wrote to Keister about his previous conduct:
"You have had countless verbal and written warnings about your conduct."
Before his ban was announced, Keister - a former Sierra Leone international - had already issued a statement apologising for what he had said in the leaked audio.
Keister, who was appointed eleven weeks ago, has only taken charge of Sierra Leone for one official match, a 1-0 win over Kenya in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Cup qualifier in Freetown in June.
The Leone Stars' next competitive game is away to Ethiopia in March next year.
Robert Russell, 46, committed much of the sexual abuse while his victims were asleep.
Prosecutor Kath Harper described his conduct as "sexually deviant."
At the High Court in Glasgow, Russell was found guilty of offences which took place in Livingston between 2003 and 2016.
He raped one girl when she was aged between 12 and 14.
The court heard Russell threatened to kill the schoolgirl to stop her telling anyone what had happened to her. He also said that no-one would believe her.
Eventually the girl told school friends what had happened to her, and also opened up to a friend on Facebook.
However, when asked by police in 2011 and 2013 she denied she had been raped.
Ms Harper said: "She was scared because he had threatened to kill her if she told. Imagine the effect that might have on a child.
"It was only in 2016 when, out of the blue, the police came to her that she finally divulged the full extent of what happened."
Judge Lord Clark told Russell: "By the verdict of the jury you have been convicted of 11 charges which includes the repeated rape of a young girl and sexual abuse of her and three others."
Russell was placed on the sex offenders register and will be sentenced next month.

Write a summary for this information. | Sgt Steven Floyd, 47, had been placed in a closet by inmates, but he shouted to fellow officers and told them to get out of the building, officials said.
Geoff Klopp, of the Correction Officers Association of Delaware, added that Sgt Floyd's actions had "saved lives".
Earlier, officers stormed the prison block, ending a 24-hour standoff.
Prisoners in C Block at the James T Vaughn Correctional Center in the town of Smyrna took four staff and fellow inmates hostage on Wednesday.
One of the prisoners told a local newspaper they were protesting against US President Donald Trump.
On Thursday morning, a female prison employee was rescued and taken to hospital as police raided C Block.
Sgt Floyd, a 16-year veteran of the Department of Corrections, was found unresponsive after tactical teams used construction equipment to breach a wall and enter the building.
"Sgt Floyd Sr was a father, a grandfather, a loving husband. He worked overtime three to four times a week to put his kids through college, through masters school - anything his kids or his wife wanted, or his grandkids. He loved them with all his heart," said Mr Klopp.
Authorities have not said how he died.
"My prayers all day yesterday was that this event would end with a different result. But it didn't," Governor John Carney said on Thursday morning.
The governor called the situation "torturous" and promised a full investigation.
The rescued employee was found less than two minutes after the raid began.
She has been identified only as a female counsellor with the Delaware Department of Corrections.
Some inmates "actually shielded this victim and ensured her safety", said Robert Coupe, secretary of the Delaware Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
Officials say that she is in hospital, and is "alert and talking" after being rescued at around 05:00 local time.
At one point during negotiations authorities turned on the water, so that inmates could bathe and drink, however the inmates used the water to fill metal footlockers, which were then used to barricade prison hallways, officials said on Thursday.
Officials have not yet determined the attackers' motivation, but have said the weapons used were "sharp instruments".
Two of the prison employees and 46 inmates were released on Wednesday and overnight by the hostage-takers at the facility, which is the largest prison for men in the north-eastern state.
Three maintenance workers hid in the basement and were not discovered by the hostage takers.
They were able to get to the roof late on Wednesday, and were rescued by tactical teams.
Earlier in the day, inmates called the News Journal newspaper in Wilmington to explain their actions and make demands.
In that call, an inmate said their reasons "for doing what we're doing" included "Donald Trump. Everything that he did.
"All the things that he's doing now. We know that the institution is going to change for the worse."
He also demanded education, a better rehabilitation programme and called for inmates to be granted scrutiny of the prison budget.
Authorities said they were not sure if all the inmates had been held against their will.
All 120 inmates housed in the block should be considered "suspects", he said.

What is a brief summary of the information below? | The figure exceeds Boeing's previous forecast that it would deliver between 755 and 760 aircraft.
Rival Airbus is due to unveil its numbers on Tuesday, but is not expected to have delivered many more than the 629 aircraft seen in 2014.
Despite Boeing's record deliveries, new orders fell by half last year.
Airlines, especially fast-growing carriers in the Middle East and Asia, have been on a spending spree in recent years, but cut back new orders markedly in 2014.
Boeing's deliveries for 2015 beat its previous record of 723 in 2014. Last year, the US manufacturer delivered 120 of its 737s in the final three months of last year, slightly below the target production rate of 42 a month.
Boeing has ramped up production of its range of aircraft by 60% over the past five years.
Production of the 787 Dreamliner, built largely with lightweight composite materials that reduce fuel use, will rise from a current 10 per month rate to 14 by 2020, Boeing said.
Boeing said that orders for new commercial aircraft fell to 768 last year from 1,432 in 2014. Analysts expect Airbus to have won more orders than Boeing last year when the European planemaker releases data next week.
As of 31 December, Boeing's backlog of orders stood at 5,795, representing more than seven and a half years of production at the current rate.
With Boeing's, and Airbus's, factories running at full capacity, airlines have been reluctant to spend billions of dollars on aircraft that they would not receive for several years. | Boeing looks to have cemented its position as the world's biggest aircraft manufacturer after delivering a record 762 planes last year. |

Emergency services were called to the scene in Curzon Road at 05:00 BST.
It is still the scene of a major operation here.
There is smoke billowing out of what used to be a mid-terraced house - the front and back wall completely destroyed and most of the roof as well.
It has also damaged properties either side - bricks have fallen out of the right-hand side property. There is a big hole in the roof and the glass has been blown out of the windows of the adjacent properties as well.

Official data shows the number of nurses employed in the two most senior grades have fallen by 3% since 2010.
The Royal College of Nursing said senior nursing roles would be vital in the proposed seven-day drive.
The Department of Health said extra money was being provided to train up a "new generation" of nursing leaders.
The senior posts cover roles such as ward sisters and senior positions such as nurse consultants that lead teams.
The government has promised to recruit 5,000 new GPs and another 5,000 support staff, including practice nurses, to pave the way for the weekend opening of GP surgeries.
But there has been little detail about how the initiative will work across other areas, such as routine hospital operations and cancer care.
While the overall workforce of nurses has been growing, the number filling senior band seven and eight roles fell by 2,295 over the past five years to just over 64,000.
Speaking ahead of the start of the RCN annual conference on Monday, the union's general secretary Peter Carter said: "Nursing staff, and above all, senior expert nurses, are a huge part of the solution to delivering seven-day care.
"Many nurses working as ward sisters or clinical experts are able to make decisions, supervise teams and educate and mentor their junior colleagues."
The issue also looks set to be a major theme of the British Medical Association's annual conference which is being held at the same time as the RCN meeting.
In his speech to open the conference, BMA leader Dr Mark Porter will say there is a need for more clarity on the seven-day working proposals.
He will say: "We all want our patients to have the care they need when they need it. So show us the detail of what you mean. Show us how the country will pay for it.
"Show us something real, because all we've seen so far is the pursuit of easy headlines."
The Department of Health said it was liaising with NHS England on the issue.
A spokeswoman said: "Ensuring we have the right number of nurses is vital. That's why we're taking the issue of nursing recruitment seriously and have prioritised and invested in frontline staff, so there are over 8,000 more nurses on our wards."
She added there were now attempts to train up a new generation of nursing leaders with extra money being provided.

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | The London-based think-tank Chatham House said Nigeria's oil was being looted on an "industrial scale".
Africa's biggest oil producer should be more proactive in sharing intelligence so foreign governments can help crack down on the organised crime, it said.
Losses account for 5% of Nigeria's total oil output, the report said.
A conservative estimate - with 100,000 barrels a day believed to be the minimum amount stolen - lost revenues to the Nigerian government this year will be $3.6bn (£2.2bn), Christina Katsouris, co-author of the report Nigeria's Criminal Crude: International Options to Combat the Export of Stolen Oil, said.
"Proceeds are laundered through world financial centres and used to buy assets in and outside Nigeria. In Nigeria, politicians, military officers, militants, oil industry personnel, oil traders and communities profit, as do organised criminal groups," the report says.
It said that oil theft networks used foreign banks among other channels to launder or store their illicit earnings.
"Thieves have many ways to disguise the funds they move around the world. These include bulk cash smuggling, delayed deposits, heavy use of middlemen, shell companies and tax havens, bribery of bank officials, cycling cash through legitimate businesses and cash purchases of luxury goods," the report said.
People interviewed by Chatham House said other African countries, Dubai, Indonesia, India, Singapore, the US, the UK and Switzerland were possible "money-laundering hotspots".
"We tried to find cases of prosecution for money-laundering linked to crude oil theft and couldn't find one," Ms Katsouris said.
According to the report, interviewees said that the US, several West African countries, Brazil, China, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and the Balkans were possible destinations for the illicit oil.
"Because it's so mysterious we can't be sure that it's confined to a small narrow band of people - in fact we think that there's a very strong likelihood that it is actually going into the legal market," Ms Katsouris said.
The BBC's Tomi Oladipo in Nigeria says the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), charged with regulating the country's oil industry, is often seen as ineffective and corrupt.
Nigeria's former anti-corruption chief, Nuhu Ribadu, agreed that the Nigerian authorities needed to do more to tackle the problem and said it was essential for them to find ways of identifying its crude oil and then tracking it.
"It's something similar to the blood diamonds, we need to do it with oil. You must first of all identify it as your own crude, then you will be able to follow it, then whoever buys it you can make a case against that person or the country," he told the BBC's Newsday programme.
People living in the oil-rich swamps and creeks of Nigeria's southern Niger Delta region are among the country's poorest.
The report detailed how much of the oil was stolen, saying at a local level, gangs tap pipelines or other onshore oil infrastructure, which is then refined locally.
But more industrial bunkering involves tapping pipelines on land, under the ground and under water, using huge large hoses to load the oil.
"This activity takes place both in daylight hours and at night, and is easily observable from the air or ground," it says.
These barges then head for the coast and their crews transfer the oil onto small tankers which go to an "international class 'mother ship' waiting further offshore". | The proceeds from stolen Nigerian crude oil sold each year on international markets are being laundered in world financial centres, a new report says. |
Please summarize the following text. | The world champion was 0.393 seconds quicker than team-mate Nico Rosberg, with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel 0.938secs off the pace in third place.
Mercedes seem to have a huge advantage over Ferrari, who have a smaller but clear edge over Williams and Red Bull.
Williams' Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa were next, ahead of Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen.
Hamilton, fresh from his superb effort in finishing third from the back of the grid in Belgium last weekend, was in crushing form throughout the final hour of practice in warm sunshine at F1's most historic circuit.
He was just under 0.2secs clear of Rosberg in second practice on Friday and doubled that margin on Saturday morning.
Even at this early stage, the race victory looks likely to be a private battle between Hamilton and Rosberg, with Ferrari nowhere near the world champions despite introducing their final engine development upgrade of the season in an attempt to close the gap.
Hamilton is nine points clear of Rosberg heading into the grand prix, with eight races remaining this season.

Ferrari are also said to have some concerns about the reliability of the new engine, having rushed it through to introduce it in time for their home race.
Force India's Sergio Perez was ninth, ahead of Haas' Esteban Gutierrez, whose team-mate Romain Grosjean had a spin early in the session and was beached in the gravel trap at the Ascari chicane.
McLaren's fears that they will struggle to be in the top 10 on the grid on this power circuit are coming true - Jenson Button was 12th fastest behind the second Force India of Nico Hulkenberg and Fernando Alonso was down in 17th after not putting together a lap on his qualifying simulation run on the super-soft tyres.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | Londoner 2 to me this morning: "There are too many stupid people here, that's why we had to have Brexit."
The British capital is in shock today. Even people who voted Leave seem rather stunned by what's happened.
It is also a country deeply, bitterly divided and it is hard, so soon after this seismic result, to see how it can easily be unified.
Half the population is giddy, half despairing. This is not just a divorce between Britain and the EU, it feels just as much like a divorce between one Britain and another.
I was last in the UK in March, and this week I've been really struck by how much the national discourse has changed since then. The mood - on both sides - is angrier, more divided and positions are more entrenched. Did the referendum campaign create this, or just enable it?
Either way, this vote has revealed a deeper truth about the time we live in because it was a referendum, as much as anything, on globalisation itself.
Globalisation, with inexorable speed, has changed the world we live in. For all of us. Jobs have changed, the way we trade has changed, who we employ has changed and the feel of where we live has changed.
And the world has become more unequal too. In retrospect, it was perhaps inevitable that that process wasn't going to go ahead unchecked, ad infinitum.
But politicians, in Europe and the US, failed to grapple with the real life implications of this force and on Thursday a majority of Brits said "enough."
They were fed up with politicians who didn't listen to their concerns. It's no coincidence that London, which has benefited massively from the globalised financial system, voted just as massively to remain.
The question for Brits now is where does this take us? The markets plunged but that could be a temporary blip.
There are plenty who believe that Britain pays too much into the EU and gets too little back and that the UK will be better off when it is unshackled from the weight of the troubled EU economies.
There are just as many economists who say Britain will be worse off alone. The truth is we don't really know how protest votes pan out.
The global implications will be fascinating. This British referendum on the EU was, if you like, the test case for this new era of populist protest. It's the first big national vote we've had in this mood. The next will be America in November.
On Friday Donald Trump congratulated Brits on taking back their country. He drew the parallels with his own campaign and made the point that people are angry, in a lot of places.

Please give a summary of the document below. | Schools Minister David Laws said schools should not be relying on their brightest pupils to score well in inspections and league tables.
Mr Laws said there would be increasing focus on how well schools boosted the results of their disadvantaged pupils.
They must focus "relentlessly" on closing the achievement gap, he said.
Speaking at the annual conference of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers conference in Liverpool, he said: "The chief inspector [Sir Michael Wilshaw] has made clear that Ofsted will increasingly prioritise this area too.
"No school, however impressive, can be an 'outstanding school' if it is not achieving excellence for its most disadvantaged pupils.
"So, even where overall attainment is high, we want schools to focus relentlessly on closing this gap by improving outcomes for those from disadvantaged backgrounds."
Mr Laws told delegates it was "quite literally intolerable" that in some schools and certain areas of the country almost eight in 10 children on free school meals - a key measure of poverty - failed to get five good GCSEs, including maths and English. At GCSE level there is a 27% gap between the results of poor children and their peers, he said.
"This appalling gap between the life chances of poor children and the rest of the student population is a scar on the face of our education system in this country," he added.
Mr Laws said it would be "quite wrong" to blame teachers for this "miserable outcome" for those children as the gap was caused largely by inequalities in society.
But he said schools could rise to the challenge and make full use of the pupil premium - a payment worth around £900 per eligible pupil from this September - which has been designed to help schools raise results for poorer children.
"And I now need your help to show that the pupil premium is working and that it will close that gap between the outcomes of rich and poor children."
Mr Laws also appeared to offer an olive branch to teachers, saying they did one of the most important jobs in the country.
Mr Laws said schools currently had one of the best generation of teachers and "we should be willing to acknowledge that".
"Too often, politicians talk about education as if we have some unique monopoly of high aspirations for our young people
"But... I have yet to find anyone who works in education who is complacent about the huge gaps between the educational outcomes for children from rich and poor backgrounds."
He added: "We do appreciate the job you do - genuinely and sincerely."
His conciliatory words come after delegates passed a motion of no confidence in Education Secretary Michael Gove and the Chief Inspector for Schools in England, Sir Michael Wilshaw.
ATL members said the pressure put upon the teaching profession by both men was "horrendous".
ATL general secretary Mary Bousted had also raised concerns about Mr Gove's "wrong-headed" policies.
Babthorpe Hall Farm, near Selby in North Yorkshire, said the free-range hens had come to the end of their working lives.
Owner Sheena Seels said there had already been a bit of interest in the birds since her daughter Ellie posted a message on social media.
"It's been a very positive response, 300 have gone this morning," she said.
Ms Seels said the mass sale of birds was quite common in the egg industry, as producers restocked with younger birds.
"Once they come to 72 weeks their shell quality goes as the hens get older," she said.
The brood of Bovan Brown hens are described as having "lovely friendly temperaments".
Ms Seels said potential buyers needed to have enough space for the birds to wander about and they would be better with other chickens.
"They do like company. They are very sociable," she said.
"They look after themselves, so long as they are fed and watered." | Schools in England will no longer be rated as "outstanding" by inspectors if they fail to close the attainment gap between poor and affluent children.

The news was timed to coincide with the Olympics to maximise publicity.
It follows recent announcements from Google, Facebook, Amazon, Intel and Skype about new projects in London.
Tech City - a hub of digital and creative businesses located in East London - accounts for the bulk of the latest news, including:
Elsewhere, Sophia Search - a University of Ulster spin-out which provides software tools to help firms catalogue and analyse their data - has secured $3.7m (£2.4m) of investment allowing it to hire new staff in both the UK and US.
Airwatch - a US company that helps companies manage what apps and content are installed on their employees' smartphones and tablets - has announced plans to hire 75 new staff, doubling the size of its European headquarters in Milton Keynes.
And Tribal - a British software service provider to the training industry - is creating 40 new posts in Sheffield after winning more than £32m worth of contracts from Australia and New Zealand.
Further details will be announced at a London event organised by the government's UK Trade and Investment department to take advantage of the fact the Olympics have attracted many foreign officials and business leaders to the city.
"The government is determined to make Britain the technology centre of Europe, with London's Tech City at its heart," said Chancellor George Osborne ahead of the event.
London's tech ambitions face competition from elsewhere in Europe.
Berlin, Tallinn, Barcelona and Paris are among other cities with rising start-up scenes, while slightly further afield Israel's "Silicon Wadi" - based in and around Tel Aviv - has also benefited from its links to the Israeli military.

Summarize the following excerpt. | The Time To Change initiative, run by charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, works with schools, employers and local communities to reduce discrimination and raise awareness.
It has received £30m in funding so far.
More than 800 schools and almost 400 employers have taken part.
The charities say that as a result of the campaign, the proportion of people reporting discrimination as a result of mental health issues has dropped from 42% to 28%.
Earlier this week, data from NHS Digital revealed that young women are the highest risk group in England for mental health problems.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: "Tackling the stigma associated with mental health problems is essential if we are to break down barriers and encourage people to seek help before they reach crisis point.
"Time To Change is already making a difference, but with recent studies showing that just 50% of people seek help following a suicide attempt, it's clear that we still have major work to do."
Jo Loughran, interim director of Time To Change, said: "Since Time To Change began, we've made real progress in transforming public attitudes and empowering thousands of people to tackle discrimination, but we've always said that this is the work of a generation and there's still more work to be done."
London, Liverpool and Birmingham have expressed interest in staging the event after host city Durban pulled out.
Manchester City Council said it was ready "to ensure the delivery of a successful games" if asked.
Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said he would be "happy to work with" Manchester.
However, in a tweet he said Liverpool would "challenge" any attempt to "gift the games to London or anyone else without a proper bidding and procurement process".
It is understood Manchester would be willing to act as a host city, or in collaboration with other locations.
The city hosted the games in 2002.
In a statement, the council said: "If we were invited to help, we would be pleased to work with the Commonwealth Games Federation and the government to ensure the delivery of a successful 2022 Games in England."
A spokesman for the Mayor of London said the games are "a wonderful sporting event" and London "would listen to any proposal to host in 2022".

Summarize the content of the document below. | The structure, also known as the sphere and the golf ball, has been a feature of the north Caithness coast for almost 60 years.
The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) has recommended that the DFR be decontaminated by 2022 so it can then be demolished.
There were previous plans to retain the dome.
Historic Scotland had considered listing the building so that it would be conserved.
In 2007, Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL), the company that manages the site, released the results of public consultation on future uses for the dome.
Suggestions included turning it into a hotel, museum and even a nightclub.
However, because the structure is contaminated with low levels of radioactivity and due to high maintenance costs, it was decided to demolish it.
In 2011, plans to repaint the dome at a cost of £500,000 were cancelled.
The repaint had been done every 10 years to protect the dome's metal work.
DSRL said that following an assessment the steel was deemed thick enough to last as a protection until the reactor inside was dismantled.
The year 2022 is among planned "milestones" in the NDA's latest annual business plan for DSRL.
The bulk of the plan sets out targets for the next 12 months of the wider programme to clean up and demolish Dounreay, a former experimental nuclear power site.
The dome is one of the most recognised features of Dounreay.
In the 1950s, a sphere was considered to be the best shape of structure to contain a gases from the reactor, if there was a breach.
The sphere is made up of plates of steel that were welded into the shape of a sphere.
In the 1960s, it featured in a series of special edition stamps promoting Britain's "white heat of technology".

The university has launched a £24m bid, as part of this, to further redevelop the former paper mill at the site.
St Andrews has already spent £25m on developing a green energy centre at Eden Campus.
The centre pumps hot water four miles to heat university buildings at the main St Andrews site.
More than 350 university staff are to relocate from St Andrews to the Eden Campus in 2018.

The company stated it is confident it will produce a 60in (152cm) Ultra HD rollable TV by 2017.
LG unveiled one of its first flexible TVs at CES - a global consumer electronics and technology trade show - earlier this year.
Experts say flexible screens could see TVs used in more creative ways.
The new flexible panel has a resolution of 1,200x810, which is left undistorted even after it has been rolled into a 3cm cylinder.
LG says the flexibility was achieved thanks to using a backplane made of "high molecular substance-based polyimide film" instead of plastic.
The second panel is transparent and is said to greatly surpass earlier models, with the company boasting of a significant reduction in hazy images and a 30% increase in transmittance, which is responsible for the screen's transparent effect.
The company has claimed its new screens prove they are on track for much larger, Ultra HD-capable flexible screens in the near future, asserting they are "confident" they can deliver a 60in rollable panel by 2017.
"Flexible screens are an exciting prospect. First off, they're far more durable than conventional screens, meaning that we can expect to see bigger, better screens in, for example, aeroplanes," said Stephen Graves, online deputy editor at Stuff.tv.
"They also create the potential for some completely new gadget designs. Imagine a 10in (25cm) iPad that you can fold out into a 16in (40cm) screen - effectively doubling up as a small desktop computer or TV monitor."
Jeremy White, product editor of Wired magazine said that these new screens would be ideal for retail or exhibition display.
"Being able to curve screens around complex retail display units or using the transparency to have the screen envelop the product itself on a stand would certainly be eye-catching.
"And of course this is all leading to flexible tablets as well, which will possibly be the most useful application of flexible screens to the average consumer."
Evan Kypreos, editor of TrustedReviews, said that rollable TVs could be produced by 2017 but warned they'd cost far too much for the average consumer.
"If you've got the cash to splash then a rollable TV could create an experience similar to owning a projector, where you can easily hide away the screen when not in use, but without the noise and complexity of an actual projector.
"Instead of 60in-plus TV screens I think the more interesting application of this tech could be in wearables. Curved screen smartwatches with a whole wrist screen are an obvious example."

Summarize the provided information. | The high-tech mission involved sending an unmanned glider to an area around 50 miles (80km) south west of Milford Haven, called the Celtic Deep.
The glider travelled 372 miles (600km) in 30 days, undertaking nearly 3,000 dives to the seabed.
Data from the robot shows a previously hidden plankton concentration around 30m (98ft) below the surface.
Scientists said this marine "larder" is likely to be a foraging area for a range of creatures.
A busy shipping route and fishing ground, the Celtic Deep is also a haven for wildlife, attracting dolphins, porpoise and the world's second largest animal - the fin whale.
The information gathered is part of a bigger project run in partnership by WWF and the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) to improve understanding of our seas.
The data will be used to support calls for further sites, such as the Celtic Deep, to be added to a network of marine protected areas around Wales.
A public consultation on the issue, on behalf of the Welsh Government, has been held this year - although the Celtic Deep is not one of the proposed sites for extra protection.
"This incredible technology is giving us a completely new level of understanding of our seas," said Dr Lyndsey Dodds, WWF-UK head of marine policy.
"The latest evidence pinpoints important food areas for creatures such as porpoises - something that would be invisible to satellites.
"Data like this is really important because it gives us a clearer picture of life beneath the surface. That is vital for Welsh and UK governments to help them improve the way they manage our waters and help both people and nature."
This weekend sees the start of the next phase of the project, with researchers launching another robot from Newlyn in Cornwall.
The innovative surface vehicle named "Thomas" will gather data and images from another "hotspot" off the Isles of Scilly, and will again be paired up with a submarine glider.
It is the second attempt to launch Thomas after he ran into technical problems in Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire last summer.
Powered by the sun, wind and waves, the robots are operated remotely by scientists in Southampton and Portsmouth via satellite link.
NOC's chief scientist of marine autonomous and robotic systems, Prof Russell Wynn, said: "We have already successfully demonstrated the ability to capture valuable data from beneath the surface, and now we hope to capture images and sounds of marine life at the sea surface." | A "hidden larder" for sharks and whales has been discovered off the west coast of Wales by a pioneering marine robot. |
Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | David Phelan, a Kettering General Hospital Trust governor, said patients were removed from lists because national targets were being missed.
The governors were due to look at a resolution claiming his behaviour had breached its code of conduct.
But Mr Phelan decided to resign from his position as a governor.
The governors had stressed the decision to take action against him was not connected to his whistleblowing.
Kettering General Hospital's lead governor Stuart Lake said the governors had backed a resolution saying the Mr Phelan had committed a "serious breach of the trust's code of conduct" due to "hostile, abusive and disruptive behaviour".
He said Mr Phelan had decided to leave the meeting before presenting his case.
Mr Phelan said he believed the action of governors was connected to him whistleblowing.
"I believe the truth will out," he said.
In May, a BBC investigation found thousands of Kettering General Hospital patients had waited a year or more for operations.
The hospital admitted there had been "anomalies" and that a thorough review of data had been carried out.
A hospital review has found that 138 patients were harmed - including one who had substantial sight loss - as a result of the long waits.
Mr Phelan, who raised concerns under whistleblowing procedures, was working as associate general manager in the trauma and orthopaedics department when he discovered discrepancies in the referral to treatment time (RTT) data in October 2015.
He warned managers that the daily RTT report was understating the true position by half when checked against patient records.
He told the BBC he discovered managers at Kettering General Hospital had used six exclusion categories to remove patients from their official waiting list data.
The NHS regulator fines for breaches of waiting times are per patient.
A hospital spokesman said: "We suspended reporting of our waiting list data to the Department of Health in December 2015 when we became aware of some anomalies which suggested there could be some issues with our systems."
The hospital said it was confident the issue had been addressed. | A whistleblower who alleged that patients were removed from a hospital's waiting lists to "fiddle" the system has resigned as a governor. |

Gambling tycoon James Packer and David Gyngell, who heads the Nine Entertainment Group, were seen fighting at Bondi Beach on Sunday.
It is not clear what caused the brawl between the two, who are good friends.
The incident has dominated the Australian media, with photos reportedly sold for a six-figure sum.
"Eastern Suburbs Local Area Command has commenced an investigation into an incident that occurred about 14:00 Sunday... at Bondi Beach," a police statement said.
"Police have not yet received an official complaint but have appealed to anyone who witnessed, or has vision or images of the incident."
James Packer, son of media tycoon Kerry Packer, is one of Australia's richest men, with an estimated wealth of around A$6bn ($5.6bn, £3.3bn) from his gaming empire.
David Gyngell, a top-level media executive, was best man at his wedding, as Mr Packer was at his.
Photographs showed the two men trading punches, wrestling and swapping headlocks. Video footage then showed them grappling on the ground, with three other men trying to separate them.
After the fight, the men released a joint statement.
"We have been friends for 35 years and still are," it read. "In that time we have had our fair share of ups and downs. We respect each other and neither of us will be commenting further."

What is the summary of the document provided? | Petrol bombs were hurled inside the courthouse and a fire broke out in the office of judge Nikolai Didyk, Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported.
Last month the Ukrainian lawyer of one of the two Russians was found dead. He had been kidnapped and brutally beaten.
Ukraine has charged the Russian pair with waging war in eastern Ukraine.
Alexander Alexandrov and Yevgeny Yerofeyev were captured in eastern Ukraine last May. They are suspected of serving with Russian military intelligence, the GRU.
Russia says they were volunteers who had left active service.
A shaky ceasefire is holding in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian rebels control large swathes of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Western leaders and Nato accuse Russia of helping the rebels with heavy weapons and regular troops - something Moscow has repeatedly denied.
The Kiev fire was quickly extinguished and no vital court documents were damaged, reports say.
Ukraine's chief military prosecutor, Anatoliy Matios, was quoted as saying several men had infiltrated the court premises and hurled several petrol bombs, before fleeing the scene in a car, which was later found abandoned. He called it an attempt to intimidate the judge.
The trial of the two Russians is a high-profile case - they are accused of "terrorism" and waging a war of aggression against Ukraine.
Lawyer Yuriy Hrabovsky was defending Mr Alexandrov but disappeared last month mid-trial. His body was found in a forest 125km (78 miles) south of Kiev.
Ukrainian officials say Mr Alexandrov and Mr Yerofeyev confessed to serving in the Russian special services, but later retracted their confessions.
The two men deny charges of terrorism. Prosecutors have called for life sentences.
During his kidnap, on 6 March, Hrabovsky made a video statement, saying he was giving up defending Mr Alexandrov. Investigators say he appeared to be drugged in the video.
A kidnapper asked him "Why? Why?", to which he replied: "I made a mistake."
He was last seen rushing into his office and grabbing something from the safe, accompanied by an unidentified man, Anna Nemtsova of BBCRussian reports.
Two men have been detained in connection with the murder, but their possible role has not been explained. According to Iosif Bronz, vice-president of the Ukrainian lawyers' union, the murder "looks like a special operation".
The UK Home Office wants to build a 51-bed "short-term holding facility" on Abbotsinch Road to house those awaiting removal from the country.
It follows the announcement last month that the controversial Dungavel removal centre in Lanarkshire is to close in 2017.
The plans are currently being considered by Renfrewshire Council.
If approved, the new building would be constructed on a former British Airways social club, known as The Clansman, and feature 20 bedrooms and ancillary accommodation over two floors.
The plans say the building would have to be "robust in order to hold and safeguard individuals detained by Home Office Immigration enforcement".
The accommodation, which would be encircled by a 3.6m fence, would feature 12 bedrooms for male detainees and five for females as well as two bedrooms for those classed as vulnerable and one for a disabled person.
The Home Office said the "vast majority" of stays there would be for less than a week.
UK Immigration Minister Robert Goodwill said the facility would provide easy access to London airports, "from where most removals take place, meaning those with no right to be in the UK can be removed with less delay".
Mr Goodwill also said the closure of Dungavel would result in "significant savings to the public purse".
Dungavel, which opened near Strathaven in 2001, can hold up to 249 detainees.
It is the only such centre in Scotland and has been the subject of numerous protests, which branded the site "racist and inhumane"
Much of the criticism concentrated on the detention of children at the facility, before the practice was ended in 2010.
More recently it has focused on the length of time detainees were held at the facility and the conditions inside.

What is the summary of the provided article? | Al-Jazeera TV and Sharqiya are among the channels accused of "inciting violence". A ban has been imposed on their operations across Iraq.
More than 170 people have been killed in less than a week and PM Nouri Maliki has spoken of a "wave of sectarianism" in Iraq that began abroad.
An army raid on a Sunni protest camp on Tuesday sparked widespread clashes.
More than 20 people died at the camp, in the northern town of Hawija, near Kirkuk, prompting two Sunni ministers to announce their resignation. Demonstrations spread to Ramadi and Falluja in western Iraq as well as towns and cities elsewhere in the north.
The protesters accused the Shia-led government of discriminating against Sunnis and demanded the resignation of Mr Maliki, himself a Shia.
The Iraqi Communication and Media Commission said in a statement that the satellite channels had "exaggerated things, given misinformation and called for breaking the law and attacking Iraqi security forces".
The watchdog complained of a "sectarian tone" in the TV coverage and said "undisciplined media messages exceeded all reasonable limits" and threatened to "jeopardise the democratic process".
BBC Baghdad correspondent Rafid Jaboori says most of the 10 channels are Sunni-owned while Qatar-based al-Jazeera is perceived as more pro-Sunni in its Arabic-language reporting in Iraq.
A source at al-Jazeera told BBC News that it was not yet clear whether or not the suspension covered its English-language operations as well as its Arabic programming.
The director of Baghdad TV, which is owned by the Iraqi Islamic party, told the BBC that he was waiting to hear from the authorities what action would be taken.
Several people were killed on Friday in bomb attacks on two Sunni mosques in Baghdad. On Saturday, another 10 people, including five soldiers, were killed by gunmen close to the main Sunni protest camp west of the capital.
On Saturday, Mr Maliki appeared to blame the conflict in Syria for the surge in sectarianism as he warned of strife "knocking on the doors of everyone".

Summarize the information given below. | The Handle with Care display is at the Harrogate Autumn Flower Show in North Yorkshire.
It has been designed to help visitors to enjoy the beauty of their garden more safely, the show said.
There were more than 700 hospital admissions in England due to accidents involving plants and fungi in 2014 - 2015, according to organisers.
Nick Smith, the show's director, said: "Some of the UK's most dangerous plants, such as hemlock and giant hogweed, are also among the most invasive, spreading with ease from hedgerows to gardens and wildflower areas if unchecked.
"With the right information, people can identify those plants with the potential to cause harm and handle them accordingly.
"Laburnum seeds are renowned for toxicity and how many people know that deadly ricin comes from the common castor oil plant or that elderberries and elderflowers, are toxic when not ripe?"
Deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna)
Renowned for both its hallucinogenic and lethal properties, both the foliage and berries containing toxins such as atropine, scopolamine and hyoscyamine. The berries are said to have quite a pleasant, sweet taste and are therefore easy to mistake for edible fruit, such as bilberries, with tragic consequences.
Giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum)
One of the many foreign plants introduced to Britain in the 19th Century as ornamental plants, it is now widespread, especially along riverbanks. The plant contains furocoumarins, which reduce the skin's protection against the effects of UV radiation. Exposure to sunlight after contact causes severe skin rashes, blistering and burns, but the effects may not start for 24 hours after contact.
Monkshood (Aconitum napellus)
All of the plant is highly toxic and fatal if consumed. Gloves and long sleeves should also be worn when handling Monkshood to avoid skin contact with the sap. Aconite and aconitine are thought to be the key toxins. Ingestion of even a small amount results in severe stomach upset, but it is the effect on the heart, which is often the cause of death.
Poison hemlock (Conium maculatum)
Five alkaloids are said to be present in hemlock, coniine, conhydrine, pseudoconhydrine, methyl-coniine and ethyl-piperidine. It causes violent vomiting and causes paralysis of the nervous system. Death is usually the result of respiratory failure.
Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea)
Foxgloves are a source of digitoxin, a glycoside in the drug digitalis, which has been used as a heart stimulant since 1785. It is also well-known for its toxicity in all parts of the plant. Consuming the leaves can cause oral and abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. In severe cases, symptoms can include visual disturbances, plus heart and kidney problems.
Winter cherry (Solanum Capsicastrum)
The berries are poisonous, containing solanocapsine, which is similar to the alkaloids found in the nightshade family. Their appealing appearance make the fruits particularly dangerous to young children and pets and, although they are rarely fatal if consumed, it is best to keep the plant well out of reach.

Please summarize the passage below. | Research shows that stress levels peak at the point where the pencil is poised to put a cross in the box against the name of the chosen candidate.
This year's local council and police commissioner elections could see even more confusion with some Yorkshire voters being asked to make up to five choices.
Even the most seasoned voter can often have a crisis of confidence in those final seconds in the privacy of the voting booth.
I have to admit that even after more than four decades of taking part in elections a question still flashes through my mind every time the pencil touches the ballot paper:
* "Am I ticking the box or putting a cross in it?"
Surveys say I am not alone.
Other regular concerns that come up are:
** "Is the candidate representing the party I want?"
*** "Should the ballot paper be signed?"
These election worry wobbles are only to be expected. Secret ballots mean that voting has to be a solitary experience and phoning a friend is not really an option.
At most elections voters merely have to put a single cross against the name of just one candidate.
That is exactly the system being used by eight local councils across Yorkshire to elect a fresh batch of councillors this year.
However, two others will be asking a lot more of their electorate.
Voters in Sheffield and Rotherham will be handed multiple choice ballot papers where they are being asked to pencil in up to three crosses.
That is because for the first time these two South Yorkshire neighbouring local authorities are holding "all-out" polls where every seat is being elected.
Traditionally councils use the "thirds" system in which on three successive years a third of the council seats come up for election.
As each council ward is represented by three councillors it means that just one seat is being contested in each election year.
Sheffield and Rotherham's full elections means all seats are up for election in every ward so voters will be able to pick three from a long list of candidates on the ballot paper.
In Sheffield recent radical changes to the boundaries of all its wards forced a switch to full elections.
Rotherham was ordered to contest every seat by the government in the hope of a fresh start for a council tainted by its failure to effectively tackle the scandal of the mass grooming and sexual assault of young girls by criminal gangs in the town.
This is in addition to entirely separate elections being held on the same day across England where every voter will be given the choice of putting two crosses on the ballot paper.
This is for the local Police and Crime Commissioner elections where the relatively unfamiliar "supplementary vote" system is being used.
A cross can be put against both a first and second choice candidate.
If no candidate takes more than 50% of the first choice votes then the second preferences come into play.
The top two go into a run-off where the "supplementary" votes are added to their totals for a winner to emerge.
No wonder the council officials who will be running polling stations on 5 May are preparing to spend a lot of time explaining how to vote.
Those anxious questions answered:
* A cross in the centre of the box against the name of the chosen candidate (or candidates) is the best option to ensure the ballot paper is not "spoilt". However, as long as the voter's intention is clear a tick or a single stroke of the pencil will probably be sufficient at the discretion of the returning officer.
** Official party name and an emblem are now printed alongside a candidate's name. Independents allowed a six-word description.
*** Writing on a ballot paper to identify the voter, send a message to the candidate or make a statement will "spoil" the vote. | Voters in parts of Yorkshire could be forgiven for leaving behind piles of nervously chewed pencil stubs at their polling stations on 5 May. |

Fatim Jawara was on board a boat that ran into trouble last month while crossing from Libya to Europe, the country's football federation says.
Her family confirmed news of her death, according to association president Lamin Kaba Bajo.
Many of the undocumented migrants who arrive in Italy are Gambians.
The Gambia's President Yahya Jammeh has been accused of intimidating the opposition - charges he denies.
Jawara made her debut with the national women's side a year ago, after playing in the junior team.
"She will be remembered for saving a penalty kick in a friendly encounter involving the national soccer team and the Glasgow Girls from Scotland," Mr Bajo told the AFP news agency.
In a Facebook post, the federation said the manner in which she had died was "shocking".
The coach of the Red Scorpions, a local team she played in, described Fatim as a very lovely person who always smiled.
Chorro Mbega told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme that Jawara was a member of the squad that represented the Gambia in the 2012 under-17 World Cup in Azerbaijan, having first joined the team in 2009.
"Fati was a player who can play anywhere on the field. I'm really sad about this because she fought so much to be number one," Ms Mbega said.
She said she was not aware of Jawara being frustrated but added that Red Scorpion players were not paid salaries.
More than 4,200 migrants fleeing conflict and poverty have died or gone missing in the Mediterranean this year, figures from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) show.
Fatim Jawara's absence was nationally noticed when The Gambia national female team was schedule to play Senegalese club Casa Sports during celebrations to mark a girls football festival recently.
She played for local club Red Scorpions FC in Serekunda town, just outside Banjul, where she made her way to being first-choice goalkeeper, leading to her selection for the national team.
Her death in the Mediterranean has shocked Gambians and brings back the issue of illegal migration facing the country into a shaper focus.
Rumours started flying that Fatim had gone on the "Back Way", the now famous name for the boat journey across the Mediterranean to Italy, according to Red Scorpions captain Fatu Fatty.
"A few days later we confirmed from her family that an agent had contacted them to say Fatim was among those on the boat that capsized," Ms Fatty explained in tears.
"She was everyone's friend in the team. Jovial and funny to an extreme," Ms Fatty said.
A Gambia Football Federation official noted she was not the first footballer to have suffered such a fate but she was one of the most high-profile to have died this way.

Under plans to introduce shared bins it said: "Shared bins will be provided, rather than individual bins for every household, in areas where there is limited space at each property to store bins, and there is space in the local amenity to provide shared bins".

What Mr Trump will make of the honour remains to be seen - especially as the tiny moth, with its wingspan of just more than a centimetre, is native to southern California and the Mexican region of Baja California.
However, Mr Nazari said he hoped it would inspire Mr Trump to prioritise ecological issues during his term in office.
He told Live Science: "I hope that the president will make conservation of such fragile ecosystems in the US his top priority. These ecosystems still contain many undiscovered and undescribed species, and deserve to be protected for future generations."
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday he was considering banning US coal exports in response to the "unfair" tax on Canadian lumber.
The government is also looking at duties against several Oregon industries, the BBC has learnt.
Oregon has been one of the loudest supporters of an up to 24% tax on Canadian softwood lumber.
Mr Trudeau wrote to British Columbia (BC) premier Christy Clark to say that he was "carefully and seriously" considering trade action on coal exports. He said trade officials will explore next steps.
Ms Clark had previously asked Ottawa to ban US thermal coal exports, and has said she will impose a tax on thermal coal entering BC ports regardless of the federal government's decision, because "it is the right thing to do".
BC is one of Canada's largest producers of softwood lumber.

"We strongly disagree with the US Department of Commerce's decision to impose an unfair and punitive duty on Canadian softwood lumber."

This has nothing to do with US President Donald Trump, who has been a vocal opponent of Nafta and criticised Canada for protectionist dairy policies, the BBC is told.
Instead, the government is considering levying duties on several Oregon industries, including wine, wood chips, plywood, flooring and packaging material, that receive state support which the Canadian government believes may constitute illegal subsidies.
Democratic Oregon senator Ron Wyden is one of the biggest critics of the Canadian softwood lumber industry.
Canada and the US have long had a trade dispute over softwood lumber, with the US arguing that Canada unfairly subsidises its industry by charging minimal fees to log publicly owned lands.
Last week, the US Commerce Department announced it will charge five Canadian softwood exporters duties ranging between 3.2% to 24.12% to make it a "level playing field". | Plans to shake up bin collection services in Sheffield to save £3.4m have been outlined by the council.

Can you summarize the following information? | The marsupial's milk contains important peptides that appear to be able to kill hard-to-treat infections, including MRSA, say the Sydney University team.
Experts believe devils evolved this cocktail to help their young grow stronger.
The scientists are looking to make new treatments that mimic the peptides.
They have scanned the devil's genetic code to find and recreate the infection-fighting compounds, called cathelicidins.
PhD student Emma Peel, who worked on the research which is published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports, said they had found six important peptides.
These appear to be similar to peptides in the milk of other marsupials, which means these animals are worth studying too.
"Tammar wallabies have eight of these peptides and opossums have 12," she said, adding that studies into koala's milk had now started.
Experts believe marsupials are good to study because their babies have to thrive in a relatively dirty environment.
Tasmanian devil mothers give birth after only a few weeks of pregnancy. The tiny offspring then spend the next four months maturing in their mother's pouch.
The Sydney team recreated the six devil peptides that they found and tested them on 25 types of bacteria and six types of fungi.
One of the synthetic peptides - Saha-CATH5 - appeared to be particularly effective at killing the superbug methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA.
MRSA
Many people carry MRSA on their skin and inside the nose and throat.
Most of the time, the infection is harmless.
But if it enters the body through an open wound for example, it may cause problems, which is why people staying in hospital are at a higher risk.
MRSA is treatable, but only with a combination of antibiotics that can get round the resistance problem.
It also appeared to kill another resistant bug, called Vancomycin-resistant enterococcus, as well as fungi, called Candida, which are commonly involved in skin infections.
Experts agree that we urgently need new drugs to fight treatment-resistant infections.
A recent review warned that by 2050, superbugs could kill one person every three seconds across the world unless urgent action was taken.
Dr Richard Stabler, Associate Professor in Molecular Bacteriology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said: "We need to do this hunting in unusual places for new antibiotics. People are beginning to explore and find new molecules." | Milk from Tasmanian devils could offer up a useful weapon against antibiotic-resistant superbugs, according to Australian researchers. |

He said: "The team will be working hard to provide the best possible assistance to the Suffolk Police major investigation team."
About 5,000 people had pledged support to the crowdfunding page after the family of Mr Mckeague, from Dunfermline, Fife, expressed concerns about the police investigation.
Mr Wringe, who has a background in counter terrorism, said MIS provides intelligence services to government agencies and Fortune 500 clients.
Mr Mckeague, a gunner at RAF Honington, was last seen at about 03:25 BST walking alone in Bury St Edmunds.
He was seen walking into a dead-end loading bay area known at the "horseshoe" but not seen coming out again.
His mother Nicola Urquhart told ITV's This Morning on Thursday that she "will not stop believing" her son is alive until there is evidence to prove otherwise.

And in many ways, over the last several months, it has been a gripping thriller for interested Malaysians.
But on Tuesday, Malaysia's top prosecutor cleared Prime Minister Najib Razak of corruption in a long-running financial scandal that involved millions of dollars, an overseas donor and questions about government conduct to boot.
And what a gripping tale it has been. Here's what we know:
So we're left with yet another mystery - this time a sum of a smaller amount, but big questions all the same.
Some of Malaysia's ruling party leaders have reportedly said money was used in the general election of 2013 - but critics say it was used to buy political patronage.
And in many ways, many of the previous questions have yet to be answered.
Why did the prime minister need this money in the first place?
And what of the vigorously denied allegation that the funds came from IMDB - the ailing state investment fund which has Mr Najib as chairman of its board of advisors.
This scandal couldn't have come at a worse time for Malaysia - the country has been hit by falling oil prices and the reputational damage to its economy can't fully be quantified.
It's thought that millions of dollars have been pulled out of the Malaysian economy as a result of the impact of the global financial turmoil in recent months.
Further, there is a nervousness surrounding the way the economy is being run - and the perceived lack of transparency there isn't helping.
The fact that Malaysian shares and the currency barely reacted to this news on Tuesday just reflects the ongoing fatigue that many Malaysians have with the state of affairs.
But every good thriller or mystery usually has a twist.
Investigations have been completed and the case is closed in Malaysia, however, 1MBD may yet have to answer questions from foreign authorities looking into the case of the "mysterious millions".

Give a short summary of the provided document. | Ally Calvert collapsed in Abbey Wood, south-east London, on Saturday, and died in hospital two hours later.
Met Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe called for nitrous oxide to be made illegal in the wake of Mr Calvert's death.
But his family have said an underlying heart condition was to blame.
The force said Mr Calvert was believed to have taken nitrous oxide and drank alcohol at a party, but a post-mortem examination had proved "inconclusive".
Further toxicology tests are being carried out, but Mr Calvert's family have said they do not believe the gas was responsible for his death.
In a post shared on social media, one relative wrote: "As a family, we would like to express how overwhelmed we have been with the support for the recent loss of Ally.
"We can now confirm, that the use of balloons/nitrous oxide did not cause the death of our baby, as we originally knew anyway."
They said the underlying heart condition which led to his passing, which was "inevitable" and happened regardless of "where he was, or who he was with at the time".
Friends of the teenager, who described Mr Calvert as "the nicest guy you will ever meet", started a social media campaign titled #AllysBigHeart, in memory of him.
Speaking after Mr Calvert's death, but before the post-mortem result was revealed, Sir Bernard said nitrous oxide use had resulted in a "terrible outcome".

Please give a summary of the document below. | It could prevent deadly mitochondrial disease, but has provoked a fierce ethical debate.
DNA for mitochondria - tiny compartments within cells which unlock the energy from food - is passed from mothers to children, so a donor woman's mitochondria might stop the disease.
Prof Doug Turnbull, head of the centre in Newcastle that has pioneered the research, said the disease affects organs that are "heavily dependent on energy metabolism".
"So in the heart you have cardiac failure; progressive weakness in the muscles leading to extreme fatigue and respiratory failure; and in the brain, epilepsy, stroke-like episodes and cognitive decline," he said.
"In the most severe cases I've looked after, the children died in the first 48 hours of life.
"That is unusual; often these conditions are associated with increasing levels of disability.
"I saw a patient on Tuesday that I've looked after for 33 years."
That patient was one of Prof Turnbull's first when he started out in the field as a young neurologist, "fascinated" about understanding, diagnosing and - more recently - preventing the disease.
The centre in Newcastle sees patients from across the UK and is acknowledged as one of the best in the world for caring for people with mitochondrial disease.
Yet even with the best available medicine there are many heartbreaking stories, including those of families who have lost multiple children.
Six of Sharon Bernardi's children died within days of birth.
Her son Edward survived to the age of 21, although he was often ill.
Prof Turnbull said the huge desire of families to have healthy children motivated the team at the Newcastle centre.
"We've been discussing it since 2000," he said.
"It was the stories of the patients the whole team saw over the years that made us go 'Look, we've got to do better'.
"We have very limited treatments, so the most important thing for those families is to have children that are unaffected."
The idea featured in a report by the UK Chief Medical Officer that year, and the Newcastle team's first application for funding was made in 2001.
What emerged at Newcastle was a massive team effort between fertility experts, doctors caring for patients and experts in the genetics of mitochondria.
Their objective was to reach a point where healthy DNA from parents could be combined with healthy mitochondria from a donor.
The proposed therapy - called pronuclear transfer - is controversial.
Last week the Catholic and Anglican churches urged UK politicians to delay their decision to allow more research and debate.
The destruction of embryos as part of the process is among the ethical concerns raised.
Others say it is a first step towards creating so-called "designer babies", where genetic characteristics could be chosen by parents.
In pronuclear transfer, the mother's egg and the donor's egg are both fertilised as part of IVF to create a pair of embryos.
The DNA from mum and dad form two balls of genetic information in the embryo called pronuclei, which will fuse to create the genetic blueprint for a child.
These are transferred to the donor embryo, which is packed with healthy mitochondria and has its pronuclei removed.
The Newcastle research passed a significant barrier in 2010.
The group published a study in the journal Nature showing the technique was possible using eggs that would have been discarded as they were unsuitable for IVF.
"When we published that paper there was a recognition that... if we can make this work with abnormal eggs surely we should be moving forward with this," Prof Turnbull said.
He credits his colleague Prof Alison Murdoch, from the Newcastle Fertility Centre, for having the foresight to begin making the case for starting the process that could lead to a change in the law.
"She was very wise at the time, she said we could get the science finished, but if we don't push forward with trying to get the regulations through Parliament then we could get the science sorted and it could take years to go through," he said.
This is one of many times Prof Turnbull diverts the attention to colleagues - particularly to Prof Mary Herbert, another leader in the field of mitochondrial transfer.
He comes across as a man keenly aware he needs to make the case, but unwilling to be the centre of attention.
"An awful lot of expertise has to go into developing anything like this, this is a massive team effort," he said.
"This has never been about the scientist, it's about the patients."
The 2008 Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act left provision for babies to be "created from material provided by two women".
But it required a debate and a vote in both the Commons and the Lords for it to be enacted.
Five years, three scientific reviews and a public consultation later, the UK is about to decide.
"The whole process has been suitably rigorous and the UK should be suitably proud of its ability to regulate in such a sensitive area," Prof Turnbull said.
However, there was a sense of frustration in his voice when I suggested things had progressed quickly since 2010.
"It was first mooted in 2000, discussed extensively prior to the 2008 act, a lot of the ground work was done in 2010," he said.
"Is that quick?"
Any child born through this technique would have about 99.9% of their DNA from their parents.
But mitochondria have their own DNA, so that 0.1% would come from the donor.
It has given rise to the headline that frustrates many in the field: "Three-parent babies".
Prof Turnbull responds: "We know precisely what those genes do.
"Those mitochondria are not going to influence any of the characteristics of these children, they're going to provide healthy mitochondria. But it's a catchy headline.
"Do I think it's accurate? Of course I don't.
"Is there anything I can do about it? Even less," he concludes with a resigned chuckle.
But the headlines point to a deeper issue.
The change to the child's genetic composition will be passed down through the generations.
It is known as germ-line therapy and is illegal in many countries.
Some argue we are sleep-walking into a society that allows these techniques and opening the door to other forms of genetic modification of children.
I put these arguments to Prof Turnbull.
"I think people are perfectly entitled to their view, I've always felt that," he said.
"That the critics say 'I wouldn't have this' is of course reasonable, but I think the thing we all struggle with here at Newcastle is that they are denying other people the right to make those sorts of decisions.
"When you talk to patients with mitochondrial disease they want to make those decisions."
If the vote in the Commons goes through on Tuesday, and the House of Lords agrees in the coming weeks, the UK fertility regulator could grant Newcastle the first license this year.
The first attempt would then be expected this year, with the first baby born in 2016.
Prof Turnbull admits to being a "natural pessimist" and says he is "anxious" ahead of the vote by MPs.
His final argument is: "This is research that has been suggested by the patients, supported by patients and is for the patients, and that's an important message." | On Tuesday, MPs will decide whether to allow the creation of babies from three people - mum, dad and a second, donor, woman. |

Please summarize the given passage. | The Lower House passed the bill to create the post of "state counsellor", which now requires only presidential approval to become law.
Unelected military representatives holding a quarter of parliamentary seats boycotted the vote, calling the bill unconstitutional.
Ms Suu Kyi's party won elections but she is not allowed to be president.
Clause 59(f) of the Burmese constitution bars candidates with foreign spouses or children, and Ms Suu Kyi's two sons hold British passports.
The clause was widely considered to have been written specifically to prevent Ms Suu Kyi from taking office.
The bill has gone through both the lower and upper houses and now must be approved by President Htin Kyaw.
Htin Kyaw is Myanmar's first elected civilian leader in more than 50 years, and a close aide to Ms Suu Kyi.
At the heart of power: Analysis by Jonah Fisher, BBC News, Naypyidaw
The Burmese parliament in Naypyidaw has not seen a session like this before.
The army representatives refused to vote, stood in protest and complained repeatedly that this new bill is unconstitutional.
But it was all in vain - they are now hopelessly outnumbered by elected MPs from Aung San Suu Kyi's party.
So this - the first bill proposed by the civilian government - passed unchanged.
Having been denied the presidency by a clause in the constitution, this job will formally place Ms Suu Kyi at the heart of Myanmar's new administration.
In addition to state counsellor, Ms Suu Kyi will also be foreign minister and minister in the president's office.

"I am ready for it," said Petricola of his impending North West 200 return.
"I don't remember why I crashed but I accept it. I am a big boy.
"When you ride in a road race you know it is possible to have a hard crash like this. It is not a problem."
He careered into a lamp post when he slid off his BMW superbike at Primrose corner during superstock practice, a day after his birthday.
Just days after Petricola's accident, English rider Simon Andrews, 29, died after crashing in a race at the same North West meeting.
Petricola broke two vertebrae, his left arm, his right elbow and right leg, several ribs and suffered perforated lungs in the huge impact as well as a serious head injury.

"I hit my head and there was bleeding on my brain because of the trauma," recalls the Frenchman.
He was treated within seconds of the crash by the travelling doctors from the race's medical team and transferred by helicopter to the Royal Hospital in Belfast.
In a coma, his life hung in the balance for several days before he eventually regained consciousness.
"At first I had no memory at all," added the native of Longwy, a small town on the Belgian border.
"I didn't even know that I was at the North West when I woke up. I just saw all my family there at the bedside.
"For me there was a bit of pain, but for my family and friends it was a very hard experience when I was in the coma."
Petricola will make his North West return with the same Ice Valley BMW team that he raced for last season.
"This year I want to have a lot of fun at the North West," he added.
"I would love to be the fastest newcomer but I know my place, my level, because there are very fast riders from England and Ireland there."
The Frenchman's near-death experience has done nothing to diminish his attraction to the Northern Ireland event, which takes place this year from 10-16 May.
"On my first lap I thought it was incredible.
"It was so fast and bumpy, especially the bit in the town, under the railway bridge. I love this track."
Petricola raced at a 24-hour endurance race at Le Mans before making his return to the roads in Scarborough last weekend.
"There was no fear. I am happy now, it is OK."
North West 200 event director Mervyn Whyte says he will be delighted to see Petricola back racing at Portrush.
"Franck has made a great recovery and we will welcome him back to the paddock," added Whyte.

Please provide a short summary of this passage. | Members of the UK Parliament's Scottish Affairs Committee urged the administrations to work together to tackle the problems facing the area.
Their report highlighted "major structural challenges facing residents in the south of Scotland".
It also called for the new Borders Railway to be extended to Carlisle.
In the report, Our Borderlands - Our Future, the committee said Dumfries and Galloway and the Scottish Borders had been adversely affected by the "instinct of the Scottish government to centralise power and functions in Edinburgh".
It recommends that the UK and Scottish governments work together on a series of issues affecting the region. They include:
Members also highlighted problems regarding the rollout of superfast broadband in the area.
They said its link with youth migration showed that it could have "significant and damaging potential consequences".
The committee also found that vast swathes of the region do not have adequate mobile phone coverage and they called on Westminster to tighten the regulations which require operators to extend coverage to remote rural areas.
They accepted the problems in the area were also faced by other communities but they argued that in the south of Scotland these had been "brought into sharp focus post-devolution, where both the policies of the UK government and Scottish government have a direct impact on the Borderlands".
The MPs stressed: "Throughout this report we have repeatedly called for more collaboration, both between local authorities across the Scotland-England border, and between the UK and Scottish governments, specifically in delivering major infrastructure projects which are crucial to the future prosperity of the region."
They said local enterprise bodies had been scrapped in favour of the creation of a centralised Scottish Enterprise, to the detriment of the south of Scotland.
"At the same time, the UK government's capacity to deliver its responsibilities in Scotland has reduced," he added.
"It has been too easy for Whitehall departments to assume that their major functions are devolved, and to not give adequate attention and priority to administering their reserved functions north of the border.
"Both of these trends have had a tangible, negative impact on the daily lives of people in the south of Scotland."
Committee chairman Ian Davidson pointed to the success of initiatives in the Highlands and Islands in invigorating a local economy and promoting a distinct identity.
He said: "The Borderlands of Scotland have not had a fair deal from either the UK or Scottish governments."
"There is also a lack of dynamism and of focus in addressing the multiple problems of the region," he added.
"Unfortunately there is no equivalent to the leadership which has developed the Our Islands - Our Future initiative or the collaboration between councils and other bodies in the Highlands and Islands.
"A combination of complacency, lethargy and fatalism seems to inhibit progressive change and sustainable growth. As we have repeatedly stated, collaboration and co-operation are key - not only across the border, but at all levels of government - including at local and community level."
A Scottish government spokeswoman said it was open to discussing new approaches to meeting the "needs and aspirations" of local communities.
She added: "In August 2013 we launched the Borderlands Initiative at a cabinet meeting in Hawick to facilitate cross-border council discussions and enhance joint working by local authorities in order to develop mutual economic and social links.
"The issues are complex however - and we recognise that different localities will have differing appetites for local autonomy and accountability as well as for the attendant risks that are associated with particular responsibilities."

Summarize the following excerpt. | McIlroy, 27, was among several high-profile withdrawals from the tournament over concerns about the Zika virus.
He had also criticised golf's place at the Olympics, saying he would not even watch the tournament on TV.
But following the event's success, he said: "There was more people at the golf events than there was at the athletics. It was good to see."
The Zika virus, which has been linked to brain defects in newborn babies, led to McIlroy - and others - pulling out.
But he went on to say players did not see the Olympics as the "pinnacle", and that he would only watch the "stuff that matters" - such as the athletics and swimming - when following the Olympics on television.
Speaking ahead of Thursday's PGA Tour play-off event at The Barclays in New York, the Northern Irishman said: "To see the crowds and see the turnout, I was glad to be somewhat proven wrong.
"It seems like it was a great atmosphere down there. I think it was one of the cheaper tickets as well, and I think that encouraged a lot of people to go.
"I thought golf was sort of going to get lost a little bit. It was away from the village; I thought it was going to just sort of blend in with everything else."
Justin Rose became golf's first men's Olympic champion since 1904 by seeing off Henrik Stenson in a thrilling final round. The Englishman had also made history by hitting Olympic golf's first hole-in-one in the opening round.
McIlroy said of his Ryder Cup team-mate: "You go back years and see his quotes about it, and he was really excited to play and looking forward to play. So I think it was the right winner in the end."
The company is being spun off from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The firm did not reveal the expected price range or number of the common shares.
UBS Investment Bank, BofA Merrill Lynch and Santander are underwriting the flotation, the company said.
Ferrari intends to list its common stock with a fundraising target of $100m.
The company was set up by former Alfa Romeo race car driver Enzo Ferrari in 1939, and produced its first car, the 125 S, in 1947.
The symbol of the firm, a prancing horse - 'Cavallino Rampante' - was adopted by Ferrari after being used by an Italian World War 1 pilot, Francesco Baracca, who had it painted on the fuselage of his aircraft.
The 'Ferarri red' was the colour assigned by the International Automobile Federation to all Italian grand prix cars early in the 20th century.
In 1969, Mr Ferrari sold the Fiat Group a 50% stake in the company, which was increased to a 90% stake in 1988.
The 28-year-old joined Movistar in 2013 after two years with Team Sky and broke the world hour record in 2015.
He won an individual time trial stage at the 2013 Giro d'Italia but only rode one other Grand Tour, the 2015 Tour de France, with the Spanish team.
"It's so exciting for me to join this team," said Dowsett.
"I had five amazing seasons with Movistar but it is time for a change - Katusha-Alpecin will not regret this transfer."
Dowsett, who won the most recent of his record five British time trial titles in 2016, said he hoped to be part of the lead-out train for German sprinter Marcel Kittel, who will also join Katusha next season after leaving Quick-Step Floors.
"I will continue to focus on my time trial but also all other races, especially stage races, including the Grand Tours, are important for me," said Dowsett, whose hour record was subsequently broken by Bradley Wiggins.
"In my period with Team Sky, I was one of the riders to protect Mark Cavendish and bring him to the last kilometre - I hope to do the same now with Marcel Kittel."

Please summarize the passage below. | Ukraine's Petro Poroshenko and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin spoke by phone to discuss steps to make Friday's truce durable.
But by Saturday evening there were reports of shelling near the southern city of Mariupol.
Meanwhile, Russia vowed to respond if the European Union imposed new sanctions over the Ukraine crisis.
The EU says the sanctions, targeting more Russian individuals, will be introduced on Monday but could be later suspended if Russia withdraws troops from eastern Ukraine and observes a current truce.
Russia has repeatedly denied accusations by Ukraine and the West that it has been sending regular troops into eastern Ukraine to help the rebels.
Some 2,600 people have died in fighting after pro-Russian rebels seized towns in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions in April - a month after Russia's annexation of the southern Crimean peninsula.
In a statement Mr Poroshenko also said that the two presidents had stressed the need "to maximise the involvement" of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in monitoring the truce.
The two leaders also discussed ways of co-operating in delivering humanitarian aid to the region.
In his turn, President Putin said in a statement that an agreement was reached to "continue dialogue".
The ceasefire deal was signed during talks between representatives of Ukraine, Russia, the OSCE and the separatist rebels in Minsk, Belarus.
The truce came into effect at 15:00 GMT on Friday.
There were no reports of major fighting in the east for the first 24 hours, but by Saturday evening the BBC's Fergal Keane tweeted from Mariupol that shelling had resumed.
The spokesman for Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, Andriy Lysenko, said earlier on Saturday that the rebels had fired 10 times on Ukrainian troops since the truce.
Unconfirmed reports also say a number of fighters from Ukraine's Aydar battalion were ambushed and killed after the ceasefire.
Meanwhile, the rebel leader of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, Aleksandr Zakharchenko, said the truce was "not being fully observed" and that rebels had been subjected to shelling in the town of Amvrosiyivka near Donetsk.
Also the International Committee of the Red Cross said in a tweet that aid trucks on their way to Lugansk had been forced to turn back by shelling, without giving any further details.
Our correspondent also spoke to Andriy Biletskiy, the commander of Ukraine's Azov battalion, who said he believed fighting would resume within "five to seven days".
"We will see how the situation develops," he said. "If it was a tactical move there is nothing wrong with it... if it's an attempt to reach an agreement concerning Ukrainian soil with separatists then obviously it's a betrayal."
A BBC crew that travelled to Donetsk airport on Saturday morning heard a few gunshots and small explosions but residents said the night had been quiet.
Earlier on Saturday, the Russian foreign ministry said there "will undoubtedly be a reaction from our side" if the new EU sanctions were passed.
The fresh sanctions would add another 24 to the list of people barred from entering the EU and whose assets have been frozen.
Among them would be the rebel leadership in the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions, officials in Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in March, and Russian "decision-makers and oligarchs", European Council President Herman Van Rompuy and European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso said in a statement.
The Russian foreign ministry said the EU was "practically sending a signal of direct support to the 'party of war' in Kiev". | The Ukrainian and Russian presidents have said that a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine is "largely holding". |
Can you summarize this content? | Wales international Ward joined Liverpool from Wrexham for around £100,000 in 2012.
A clause in that transfer means Wrexham will be due a cash bonus now Ward has featured for Liverpool in the Premier League.
"Danny Ward was brilliant," Klopp said following Sunday's victory.
Ward first featured as an unused substitute for Liverpool in October 2012 and has impressed in loan spells at Morecambe and Aberdeen.
He kept 13 clean sheets for the Dons, prompting Liverpool to recall him.
Ward has represented Wales at Under-17, Under-19 and Under-21 level and made his senior debut against Northern Ireland on 24 March.
"It's a special day for myself and my family, but it was all about the three points," said Ward.
"It gives you a real boost. The manager knows what we're about. He trusts us.
"I'm disappointed not to get a clean sheet but that's football - it can change in an instant."
Klopp fielded an experimental side following Liverpool's stunning Europa League win against Borussia Dortmund and was full of praise for his young team.
"They've never played together. They could have defended better, played a bit more football in the first half, but it was really, really good," he said.
However, the German felt Ward needed more protection from the officials for Bournemouth's late goal which denied him a clean sheet.
"It was a clear foul, open for all to see," Klopp added.
"Let the self-confidence grow of goalkeepers, they're normal human beings."
Mark Moat, 42, and from Bridgnorth, is also charged with arson in connection with the blaze, which broke out last November.
Sandra Nowocinska, 22, died four days after being rescued from the fire at an apartment in the Horsefair area.
Mr Moat was remanded in custody and is due at Worcester Crown Court in June.
He faces additional charges of arson and threatening to cause criminal damage in relation to two other separate incidents.
They were brought to Altnagelvin Hospital on Wednesday evening after becoming unwell.
Police have warned that medication should not be taken without clinical advice.
Earlier this month, while hosting the team at State House, President Museveni promised to reward each of the players and officials for reaching the Nations Cup after 39 years of waiting.
"Yes, 30 players and six officials have received their payment," Uganda FA President, Moses Magogo told BBC Sport.
Magogo thanked the President for the good gesture and promised that the national team and the federation will continue to work hard to develop and promote football.
Magogo also explained that six other players and four officials have not received the payment, despite their account details being sent in.
The FA President said the authorities who were handling the payments in the President's office had reduced the numbers.
Among the players to miss out are defenders Hassan Wasswa Mawanda and Nicholas Wadada.
"I have not received my money yet, but I have been told they are working on the matter so that I receive the money," Mawanda told BBC Sport.
Although President Museveni had promised to give out US$15,000 each, the ministry of Education and Sport clarified that US$10,000 had been paid out, with an aim to pay out US$15,000 in the future to match other nations' rates.
Uganda is the only country in the Cecafa region to have qualified for the 2017 Nations Cup.
The Cranes are also in the group stages of the 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifiers.
The 21-year-old German's injuries are not life-threatening, according to the Bundesliga 2 club.
A second family member was also injured and is in hospital after the incident in Wiesbaden, near Frankfurt.
The German club said they was "shocked, stunned and deeply saddened" and would "be wherever our help and support is needed".
Wachs was yet to play for second-tier Dynamo, having signed in the summer from Mainz, where he mainly featured in the reserve team.
"Marc, his family, and the process of recovery, both physically and mentally, are now the only priorities," said Dynamo sport managing director Ralf Minge.
"Everything else does not matter. I would also like to express our deep compassion to Marc, his family and all his relatives.

The men, who may be armed, crawled through plumbing tunnels and climbed down the building using bed sheets for ropes.
Authorities are determining whether the men had help from anyone inside or outside the Orange County Men's Jail when they made their escape on Friday.
All three men were set to go on trial separately for violent crimes.
"Each of the escapees should be considered dangerous," said Lt Jeff Hallock of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
Jonathan Tieu, 20, Bac Duong, 43 and Hossein Nayeri, 37, used tools to cut through the wall of their dormitory.
Clambering through the plumbing system, they made it to the roof and then abseiled to the ground.
Sixteen hours passed before the jail staff noticed. They suspect the escape was a long time in the planning.
"We're talking about breaching, in some places, significant amounts of steel, rebar and metal," said sheriff's lieutenant Jeff Hallock.
"We're going to take a look at everybody who may have been assigned there. What I can assure you is that the compromises in security have been shored up.''
This is the first escape from this jail in 20 years, officials said.
Tieu had been held on murder charges since 2013, Bac Duong was being held on attempted murder charges and Nayeri was being held on kidnapping and torture charges, among others.
There is a $50,000 (£35,100) reward for information leading to their recapture.
"There are people out there that know who these people are, who may have seen them. We're asking for phone calls, whether it's any piece of information you may have,'' Mr Hallock said.
Last summer, New York state inmates Richard Matt and David Sweat used tools that allowed them to break through the walls of their cells to freedom, setting off three weeks of searching.
Matt was later shot and killed by authorities while Sweat was captured.
A prison aide was found to have provided the tools and will serve a prison term.
Both men are named Shigeru Aoki. There can be many ways to write a name in Japanese with the same pronunciation, but in this case the pair use the same Chinese characters, or kanji.
They could not even be distinguished by party, since both ran as independents.
Votes are cast by writing the candidate's name on a ballot paper.
One Shigeru Aoki was an older incumbent and the other a younger newcomer. Election officials asked voters to add their preferred candidate's age, or the words "incumbent" or "challenger" to their ballots to clarify their choice.
Officials were also allowed to accept other clearly distinguishing observations.
But subjective opinions, like "the better-looking one", were not acceptable, Kyodo news reported.
Ballots with unclear distinctions or none were divided between the two Aokis in proportion to their clearly identifiable vote totals.
To help voters, candidate lists at registration tables in polling stations displayed each candidate's age and whether they were currently in office or not.
The men were among 32 candidates running for 30 seats. Some worried the fuss over the name issue might hurt other candidates, who might have received less attention as a result.
Challenger Mr Aoki acknowledged that the issue had made him better known, the Mainichi newspaper reported.
The pair - both originally from the construction trade - had similar policy platforms too.
Both wanted greater self-sufficiency for the port city, which is famous for its castle and summer festival but somewhat faded since its heyday as a major trading gateway to Korea and China hundreds of years ago.
Japanese media reported it is not the first time this situation has occurred, with one of the most recent cases being another city assembly battle, in 2003 in Naruto, about 70km (40 miles) from Tokyo. | Have a look at this video of a pretty daring dog!

What is the summary of the given information? | The Sikorsky S-70 was carrying senior military officers and members of their families, among them several children.
It came down in hilly terrain in Giresun province near the Black Sea. No cause of the crash has been given but the weather was poor at the time.
The passengers were reportedly flying to Eid celebrations in Giresun.
"Seven of our companions in arms, their wives and children have lost their lives," the army chief of staff said in a statement, without giving details of the fatalities.
A brigadier general and two colonels were among the passengers, Turkish media said.
The incident took place at about 17:15 local time (14:15 GMT) near Tohumluk village in the Alucra district of Giresun province, the army said.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told reporters the accident resulted "purely from poor weather conditions".
Deputy Prime Minister Nurettin Canikli, who travelled to the area of the crash, ruled out the possibility of a terrorist attack.
Police in Zimbabwe have arrested two people over the death of Cecil, the country's most famous lion, and say Mr Palmer may also face poaching charges.
But Mr Palmer, from Minnesota, said he relied on professional guides to find a lion and obtain the necessary permits.
He also said he only found out the lion's identity at the end of the hunt.
The American tourist, who is believed to have paid about $50,000 (£32,000) to go on the hunt, is said to have shot the animal with a crossbow and rifle.
It was later skinned and beheaded, according to the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force (ZCTF), a local charity.
Two Zimbabwean men - a professional hunter and a farm owner - have been charged with poaching offences because the group did not have a hunting permit.
They could face up to 15 years in prison in Zimbabwe if they are found guilty. They are due to appear in court on Wednesday.
But Mr Palmer, who is thought to be back in the US, insisted that his guides had secured "all proper permits" for the hunt.
"I relied on the expertise of my local professional guides to ensure a legal hunt," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
He said he had not been contacted by authorities in Zimbabwe or the US but said he "will assist them in any inquiries they may have".
"Again, I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practise responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion," he added.
The dental practice run by Mr Palmer was closed on Tuesday and a note was placed on the door referring visitors to a public relations firm, according to local press.
The practice's Facebook page was removed from the site after being besieged by angry comments and the company website was also taken down.
Zimbabwe, like many African countries, is battling to curb illegal hunting and poaching which threatens to make some of its wildlife extinct.
The 13-year-old lion was a major tourist attraction at the country's famous Hwange National Park.
Night-time pursuit
He is believed to have been killed on 1 July but the carcass was not discovered until a few days later.
The ZCTF said the hunters had used bait to lure him outside Hwange National Park during a night-time pursuit.
Mr Palmer is said to have shot Cecil with a crossbow, injuring the animal. The group didn't find the wounded lion until 40 hours later, when he was shot dead with a gun.
The animal had a GPS collar fitted for a research project by UK-based Oxford University that allowed authorities to track its movements. The hunters tried to destroy it, but failed, according to the ZCTF.
On Monday, the head of the ZCTF told the BBC that Cecil "never bothered anybody" and was "one of the most beautiful animals to look at".
The six cubs of Cecil will now be killed by the new male lion in the pride, Johnny Rodrigues added, in order to encourage the lionesses to mate with him.
"That's how it works... it's in the wild. It's nature taking its course," he added.
About a century ago there were around 200,000 lions roaming across Africa but that figure has dropped to less than 30,000 in recent years.
Hunting lions is legal in several countries in southern Africa, including Zimbabwe, but groups must obtain a valid permit from authorities. | A Turkish military helicopter has crashed in the north-east of the country, killing seven people and injuring the other eight on board.

Give a brief summary of the content. | City and boss Guardiola were without a win in six matches in all competitions, but Sergio Aguero flashed in Ilkay Gundogan's through ball to give them the lead.
The Baggies were flat and Aguero struck again, punishing hesitant defending with a powerful, top-corner finish.
West Brom improved hugely after the break but failed to take their chances before Gundogan twice slotted home - first from Aguero's chip and then after being found by Kevin de Bruyne.
The win means City leapfrog Arsenal, who won 4-1 at Sunderland earlier in the day, into first place in the table with 10 matches played.
Tony Pulis' side struck the post through Gareth McAuley late on and should have got one back at 2-0 through Salomon Rondon, but they slip to 15th and are now without a win in their past five games.
Aguero's last goals for City came in the 3-1 league victory at Swansea on 24 September, which was also City's most recent win before today. Who better, then, to set the tone at the Hawthorns?
The Argentina striker's first was rifled in brilliantly after his clever run was matched by Gundogan's quality pass into the space between West Brom's two centre-backs.
His second was spectacular, but equally simple. McAuley and Jonas Olsson both should have cleared a loose ball on the edge of the box but hesitated, allowing the 28-year-old to set himself up and smash home.
That was his seventh league goal of the season - the joint best return with Chelsea's Diego Costa - and ends a spell of six matches without a goal.
West Brom's players were obviously deflated by Aguero's two goals in nine minutes, so Pulis deserves credit for managing to galvanise his side into producing a spirited second-half display.
They might have got themselves back in it when Rondon miscued his finish when meeting James McClean's excellent cross, and Claudio Bravo almost gifted the Venezuela striker a goal when he rashly came to clear and left his goal exposed, but Rondon's header bounced just wide.
But City managed to ride out the pressure and always looked dangerous on the break, with Aguero hugely influential in driving forward on the counter-attack.
He was in search of the hat-trick, but it was Gundogan who expertly slid the ball past Ben Foster to end the Baggies' revival - meeting Aguero's fantastic dinked pass through the back line.
The 26-year-old Germany midfielder was excellent throughout, and his first-time finish for City's fourth capped his best performance since joining from Borussia Dortmund this summer.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "When we lose there are always doubts. Also in the second half I had doubts when we didn't play too well.
"I had doubts and saw what we had to improve. It's the first time I have not won in six games. Always you have doubts. Not over the principles.
"We need Sergio. We know how important he is for us when he can convince us how good he is and how important he is for this club.
"I am going to help him to be much, much better. That is my target.
"I'm so, so happy for him because with all of that he is one of the nicest people I have met.
"He is part of the history for this club. He is one of the best."

West Brom manager Tony Pulis: "In the first half we sat back waiting for it to happen. In the second half we gave it a go but needed to score. As the game opens up they have real quality on the break.

Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Last month, DUP leader Peter Robinson stepped aside as first minister and took all but one of his party's ministers out of the executive.
Since then, ministers have repeatedly resigned and been reappointed due to a row over the status of the IRA.
The Alliance Party has called a debate on whether that is damaging Stormont.
The party has asked the Northern Ireland Assembly to note that some DUP ministers have "resigned and resumed office more than 20 times since 10 September 2015".
Alliance has asked MLAs to vote on whether the "practice of rolling resignations has had a significant and detrimental effect on the governance of Northern Ireland and on the public's faith in the political institutions".
The motion has been proposed by Alliance MLAs Stewart Dickson, Chris Lyttle and Trevor Lunn.
The DUP introduced its resignations policy five-and-a-half weeks ago as a form of protest after police said some IRA members had been involved in the murder of Kevin McGuigan Sr.
Mr McGuigan Sr, a former IRA man, was shot dead near his east Belfast home in August.
Mr Lyttle said the debate was an opportunity to show people that there were MLAs and ministers working to deliver effective government.
"We fail to see how the Ulster Unionist Party resignation and in particular the rolling resignations of the DUP - we think over 20 in the last month - are achieving anything other that to damage public confidence further in the institutions, to imperil our public services and indeed to bring the assembly into disrepute," he said.
"They may also be in breach of the ministerial code which requires you to take office in good faith, to discharge your duties, to fully participate in the executive and to be accountable to the assembly, none of which is happening for those ministers."
The DUP said that because of Sinn Féin's links to the IRA it could not do "business as usual" at Stormont until the issue of paramilitary activity was addressed.
Speaking to BBC Northern Ireland's Sunday Politics programme, DUP MLA Peter Weir conceded that the resignations policy was "clearly seen as being messy".
But he added: "We're more interested in achieving an outcome rather than in the process.
"Let's remember why we are here.
"We're here because there was a man murdered on the streets and the chief constable indicated that the murder was carried out by individuals who are connected up with an organisation [the IRA] which was connected up with a party in government [Sinn Féin]."
Sinn Féin has repeatedly condemned the murder of Mr McGuigan Sr and said the IRA no longer exists.
Fraser Gibbon, 20, of Cuminestown, is thought to have been working by the side of the B9170 road near the village when he was struck by a car.
Although police officers and the ambulance service attended the scene, they were unable to save him.
His relatives described him as "a gentle giant" and said his death left "a massive hole" in their lives.
A statement issued through Police Scotland said: "Fraser was ripped from our lives and has left a massive hole that can never be filled. Fraser was described by all who knew him as a gentle giant, very much a family person who would do anything for anyone."
They added that he was a "proud father, a doting uncle to two nieces and brother to three sisters who all loved him dearly.
"He was the precious and deeply loved only son of Anne and Donald, and has been taken from us far too soon.
"We would also like to offer sincere thanks to all who assisted at the scene." | The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) policy of pulling its ministers in and out of the Northern Ireland Executive is to be debated at Stormont later.

Please provide a concise summary of the following section. | The four-year deal that Cork signed in July 2011 expires in the summer.
Koeman revealed to BBC Radio Solent in December he had recommended to the board that 25-year-old Cork should be offered a new deal.
"The board of the club is talking to him and his agent," Koeman told BBC South Today. "We've offered him a contract."
Cork, 25, is currently out injured with ankle ligament damage and Koeman says it is now up to the player to decide if he wants to stay at St Mary's.
"He can stay," said Koeman. "Jack Cork by himself has to say yes or no. We are waiting." | Southampton manager Ronald Koeman says the club have offered midfielder Jack Cork are new contract. |
Provide a concise overview of the following information. | The measures are outlined in the Vehicle Technology and Aviation Bill.
Ministers says they want to ensure it is easy for accident victims to claim compensation if a collision occurs when the cars are in automatic mode.
Insurers could still try to recover their costs from the vehicles' makers.
However, the bill - which applies to England, Scotland and Wales but not Northern Ireland - makes two exemptions.
If a vehicle's owner has made unauthorised changes to the car's software or fails to install an update that their policy requires them to, then they become liable.
It is proposed the Department of Transport will determine which cars will be classed as self-driving and become subject to the requirements.
The suggestions have been welcomed by the insurance industry.
"It demonstrates the government's clear commitment to moving forward when it comes to automated vehicles," said Ben Howarth, senior policy adviser at the Association of British Insurers.
"As an industry, we want to keep insurance as straightforward as possible, which is why insurers proposed the simple approach which the government is now taking forward."
Self-driving cars are already being tested on UK roads.
But many car companies predict it will be a decade or more before they begin to sell or rent fully autonomous cars to the general public.
Even so, the government believes the country will benefit from having related laws put in place in advance.
"It will... enable consumers in the United Kingdom to be amongst the first in the world to reap the rewards that improved transport technology will bring," the bill states.
"Putting the United Kingdom at the forefront of the most modern transport revolution will create new jobs and fuel economic growth around the country."
Other measures outlined by the bill include powers to:
Some businesses may resist being made to invest in the technology at an early stage, but one expert welcomed the fact the government might require them to do so.
"When you've got a big transition to a new technology, the market can take a long time to do what's required," said Prof David Bailey, from Aston Business School.
"So, I think this is about trying to stimulate things more quickly than would happen otherwise."
It allows the service, which is currently an internet and digital station, to broadcast on medium wave to Suffolk and parts of north Essex.
Manager, Peter Moore, wants to broadcast from its ship MV Ross Revenge on the River Blackwater in Essex.
It comes 50 years after the 1967 Marine Broadcasting Offences Act that was intended to stop pirate broadcasters.
Mr Moore said: "It's our intention to broadcast to the same people we used to when we had the ships off the Essex coast.
"It will be the same sort of service they would have heard in the past delivered in the same way and presented in many cases by the same people as before.
"It's like a living time capsule."
The station was founded in 1964 to play pop music all day in a time where broadcasting was dominated by the BBC and pop was played for an hour a week.
After the Marine Broadcasting Offences Act was passed in 1967, Radio Caroline continued to broadcast until the Ross Revenge was shipwrecked off the Kent coast in 1991.
The vessel has since been repaired.
This is one of five new medium wave community licences to be announced by regulator, Ofcom.
An Ofcom spokesman said: "Community radio services are provided on a not-for-profit basis and focus on delivering specific social benefits to a particular local area or community of interest."
A launch date for the new service is not yet known.
The Radio Caroline website said many details about the licence were still to be decided and preparations "may take some time". | Insurance cover for self-driving cars must offer protection for both times when the driver is in control and when the vehicle is in charge, according to new proposals from the UK government.

Provide a brief summary for the information below. | We are not in a time of beer and sandwiches. This is not the 1970s, when union barons and politicians shared snacks and hard talk at Number 10.
In fact, these days the capital's union leaders can't even get their feet through the front door at City Hall.
Since becoming mayor, Boris Johnson hasn't held talks with those who run London's transport unions despite numerous strikes. The only time he talked to Bob Crow, the former leader of the RMT, was when Mr Crow called in to a radio show the mayor was on.
Critics say the mayor should play more of a role in building bridges, but the mayor says it's for his team at Transport for London to do the talking.
But it's hard to split the politics from the process. Remember the root cause of this dispute: the mayor's ambition to run tubes through the night on Fridays and Saturdays.
It was a decision announced on the very day he revealed that TfL was to close its ticket offices (before becoming mayor he'd promised that none would shut under a Johnson administration).
As the unions went on strike over that decision, the mayor was happy to call for a change in the threshold for strike ballots - one that required the unions to get higher turnouts and higher majorities before they took action.
It is a call that has been heeded in Westminster.
The new government's Trade Union Bill will require a 50% threshold for ballot turnout and in key areas, like health, education and transport, require 40% support from all eligible members for action to go ahead.
Interestingly, the current strikes would still have gone ahead even if that legislation had been in place since both turnout and support are well above the government's suggested levels.
So where are we now with the current dispute?
Despite weeks of talks the two sides remain some way apart.
From the sidelines, the mayor has accused the unions of "playing politics" and, from the frontline, the unions have accused the mayor of - you guessed it - "playing politics".
At least there's one thing they agree on. | With London's Tube network set for a 24-hour shutdown for the second time in a month, critics say Boris Johnson should be building bridges with the unions - but the days of resolving disputes while enjoying light refreshments appear to be over. |
Summarize the following content briefly. | Chris Paisley is one shot back alongside France's Alexander Levy, with Richard Bland on 14 under.
Chris Hanson dropped off the pace at 11 under par, while Ryder Cup rookie Matt Fitzpatrick reached 13 under.
Lengthy weather delays on the opening two days meant the field completed their third round on Sunday.
Masters champion Willett, who was playing with fellow Englishmen Paisley and Hanson, has had just one bogey in his 54 holes so far.
Seven of the European Ryder Cup team, which includes Willett, have been competing in Monza as they prepare to take on the United States at Hazeltine in Minnesota from 30 September to 2 October.
The other Europe players still in contention are Martin Kaymer of Germany, Spaniard Rafael Cabrera-Bello and Englishmen Andy Sullivan and Chris Wood.

Livermore, 25, failed a drugs test after his newborn son Jake Junior died.
The FA ruled he should not be banned because of "the specific and unique nature of the circumstances".
"I should have realised that he was in trouble and in a dark place, but you carry on and just think he's lost a bit of form," said Bruce, 54.
"I said to my staff on numerous occasions last season that there was something not quite right with Jake, but I didn't identify what it was. I feel like I let him down a little bit."
Bruce told BBC Radio Humberside the club would do "everything we can" to ensure the player gets the help he needs.
Livermore has not played for the club since the 1-0 defeat by Burnley on 9 May, two weeks before the club were relegated back to the Championship.
Former Manchester United defender Bruce does not expect him to return to first-team action for at least three weeks.
The Tigers boss said he was "shocked and angry" at the time of the positive test, but acknowledged he had not known the player's personal circumstances.
"In this macho industry of alpha males, people don't want to ask for help," he said. "Sometimes it takes a bigger man to ask for help and I think Jake has realised that.
"We all think we're Arnold Schwarzenegger or Tarzan and it's not the case."
Bruce said Livermore understands "some people will never forgive him".
He added: "He's made a mistake, he's apologised and he wants to get back to a part of his life which he wants to do - playing professional football."
The former Tottenham player returned to training on Thursday after serving a club and FA suspension pending the outcome of his disciplinary hearing.
Bruce has backed him to have a big impact on Hull's promotion chances.
"He has got a huge part to play between now and the end of the season. His challenge now is to make us better and get us back to the Premier League," he said.
"I'm sure he's determined to get back playing and get back to a level that got him on the edge of England selection. That's what he needs to aspire to again."
Hull, who are second in the Championship after five matches, visit leaders Brighton on Saturday.
