The court in Novorossiysk gave two of the dancers 10 days in jail each, a third 15 days and two others received fines on charges of petty hooliganism.
The latest incident involves six dancers - one of them a minor who was not convicted - who had posted a video on YouTube.

A Russian court has jailed three women for performing a twerking dance in front of a World War Two memorial.

Article: Amir Ali Qureshi, from the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, predicts adverts featuring a dog on a trampoline will boost sales.
But he also expects a spike in people with broken bones turning up at A&E this Christmas.
He said injuries were common, even with trampolines that come with safety netting.
"Just last week I had a 27-year-old female referred to me with a life-changing injury to her left knee as a result of a trampoline accident," Mr Qureshi said.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) says more than 13,000 trampolining injuries are treated each year.
Broken arms, legs, knee dislocations and neck injuries can all result from having an accident on a trampoline.
Mr Qureshi added: "Some of these injuries are simply unpleasant, but others can be extremely serious.
"The issue at the moment, particularly where young people are involved, is that the use of nets gives children and their parents a false sense of security that they will be fine whatever the level and intensity of activity on a trampoline.
"In my opinion, as an experienced orthopaedic surgeon, the equipment is dangerous and should only be used in appropriate circumstances, which I believe can only be achieved under professional supervision."
Dave Walker, the leisure safety manager at RoSPA, said: "When using a trampoline at home parents must be aware that, just like any high-energy leisure activity, there is a risk, and they should take precautions to prevent potentially serious and life-changing injuries.
"Having netting around the trampoline is a good preventative measure, as is only allowing one child on at a time, and supervision to ensure the activity being carried out on the trampoline is appropriate.
"Many serious injuries occur when a larger person is on with a child, so parents should avoid getting on at the same time as their children."

Summary: Trampolines should be used only under professional supervision, according to a senior bone surgeon.

Article: The infection has been linked to thousands of babies being born with underdeveloped brains.
Some areas have declared a state of emergency, doctors have described it as "a pandemic in progress" and some are even advising women in affected countries to delay getting pregnant.
But there is much we do not know.
Deaths are rare and only one-in-five people infected is thought to develop symptoms.
These include:
A rare nervous system disorder, Guillain-BarrÃ© syndrome, that can cause temporary paralysis has been linked to the infection.
There is no vaccine or drug treatment so patients are advised to rest and drink plenty of fluids.
But the biggest concern is the impact it could have on babies developing in the womb and the surge in microcephaly.
It is when a baby is born with an abnormally small head, as their brain has not developed properly.
The severity varies, but it can be deadly if the brain is so underdeveloped that it cannot regulate the functions vital to life.
Children that do survive face intellectual disability and development delays.
It can be caused by infections such as rubella, substance abuse during pregnancy or genetic abnormalities.
Case study: 'It's not the end of the world'
The WHO says there is "scientific consensus" that Zika causes microcephaly as well as Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Some babies who died had the virus in their brain and it has been detected in placenta and amniotic fluid too.
Some governments have advised women to delay getting pregnant until more is known.
Experts now believe Zika is linked to a broader set of complications in pregnancy, including miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth and eye problems.
The US Centres for Disease Control says Zika lingers in the blood for about a week and can be spread by sexual intercourse.
"The virus will not cause infections in a baby that is conceived after the virus is cleared from the blood," it says.
"There is currently no evidence that Zika-virus infection poses a risk of birth defects in future pregnancies."
The WHO advises couples...

Article: Millions of Chinese people are believed to have been affected by the data leaks, said security experts at the University of Toronto.
The data reveals where people are, search terms, sites visited and the ID numbers of devices they own.
Baidu said it had tackled the problems with the insecure computer code.
The code is found in a software development kit that can be used to create apps for Android phones and programs for Windows.
Baidu itself used it to make web browsers for Android and Windows and many other firms have used the kit too.
Apps and browsers made using the Baidu kit have been downloaded hundreds of millions of times, said researchers at Toronto's Citizen Lab in the report. As part of a long-running research project, the Lab has focussed on privacy and personal data use in China. Last year the team found shortcomings in the Alibaba browser.
The latest report found several security and privacy shortcomings in the Baidu code.
Some data, including GPS coordinates and search terms, is sent in plain text.
In addition, the protections added to other forms of information, such as unique device IDs, could easily be broken.
Poor protection of apps made with the kit also made users "susceptible" to fake updates that could give an attacker access to a phone or a Windows computer.
"The transmission of personal data without properly implemented encryption can expose a user's data to surveillance," said the authors in their report.
Worryingly, they added, users would have no warning that the data was being transmitted or gathered.
"The leakage of such user data is particularly problematic for individuals who use these applications and their devices to engage in politically sensitive communications," said the report.
"It's either shoddy design or it's surveillance by design," Ron Deibert, director of the Citizen Lab, told Reuters.
Citizen Lab said that Baidu had fixed some of the bugs in the code since it had first been told about them in November last year.
However, it added, the poor encryption scheme was...

Article: The court in Novorossiysk gave two of the dancers 10 days in jail each, a third 15 days and two others received fines on charges of petty hooliganism.
Prosecutors had said their "erotic and sexual twerk dance" was disrespectful to historic memory and unacceptable.
Earlier this month, Russian officials closed a dance school after a similar dance video emerged on the internet.
The latest incident involves six dancers - one of them a minor who was not convicted - who had posted a video on YouTube.
"This incident of disrespect for the memory of war history is unacceptable  and any attempts to desecrate sites of military glory will be stopped  immediately," prosecutors said.
The sentences come as Russia prepares to mark the 70th anniversary of  the World War Two victory.
They also follow the incident early in April when a video clip from the Orenburg dance school on YouTube was viewed millions of times.
The video clip, entitled Winnie the Pooh and the Bees, showed a group of teenage girls dancing on stage in striped leotards, long socks and mini-skirts,
They perform hip-thrusting moves characteristic of twerking.
A committee is investigating whether the performance amounts to negligence or even "debauched action", which is punishable by a range of sanctions from community service to three years behind bars.

Article: The advisory group set up by the Scottish government in 2015 issued a report examining some of the "many changes" which need to be made.
The report said tackling hate crime should be "a priority concern for the whole of society".
The Scottish government said it contained "important messages that we should all reflect on".
A review of available evidence on hate crime for the Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research has warned that "there is a problem of hate crime in contemporary Scotland", adding that all stakeholders spoken to reported higher levels of hate crime than is recorded in official figures.
There have been concerns about an increase in hate crimes across the UK in the aftermath of the Brexit vote, although some reports have shown a reduction in such offences in Scotland.
However, the number of hate crime offences relating to football in Scotland have risen 49% in the past year.
The Advisory Group on Hate Crime, Prejudice and Community Cohesion was established in 2015 to provide advice and analysis on the issue.
Their report notes that racist offences are the most prominent hate crime category, but have been falling slightly while reports of offences based on sexual orientation had increased 20% in the past year.
It said the Scottish government's approach was "widely appreciated", but said that while the criminal justice system was seen to take the matter seriously, the system "continues to feel disjointed from the perspective of many victims".
The group also heard "disturbing" evidence about the "rapidly growing" phenomenon of online abuse, and warned that too often offenders are not challenged.
They recommended a multi-agency approach, with groups from across government and society treating hate crime as a high priority.
Specific recommendations include:
Chairman Dr Duncan Morrow said it was clear that "hatred and prejudice continue to have very serious consequences for people and communities across society".
He said: "Prejudice and hate have a huge impact on the quality of life of...

"At the end of an unforgettable few months I am absolutely delighted to have signed as head coach," the 38-year-old told the club website.
"We have a clear vision of how we want to continue to improve the club."
The former Oakwell youth coach took over on a short-term basis after previous boss Lee Johnson left for Bristol City.
Heckingbottom won 13 of his 21 games in charge, culminating in a 3-1 win over Millwall at Wembley as Barnsley returned to the Championship after a two-season absence.
"We've enjoyed one of the most unforgettable and remarkable seasons ever here at Barnsley Football Club and it goes without saying that Paul has been instrumental in the success we have achieved," chief executive Ben Mansford said of the Barnsley-born coach.
"He's one of the brightest and hard-working young coaches in the country and we're absolutely delighted that he's agreed to become our permanent head coach."
Meanwhile, full-backs George Williams and George Smith are to leave Oakwell after the club withdrew contract offers to the pair.
Williams, 23, made 27 appearances last season, including both Wembley finals, while Smith, 19, played 29 games and had a spell on loan at Crawley.

Summary: Barnsley have appointed Paul Heckingbottom as their head coach on a 12-month rolling contract.

Article: Kiira Motors' Kayoola prototype electric bus was shown off at a stadium in Uganda's capital, Kampala.
One of its two batteries can be charged by solar panels on the roof which increases the vehicle's 80km (50 mile) range.
The makers now hope to attract partners to help manufacture the bus for the mass market.
Africa Live: BBC news updates
Can Africa lead the way on renewable energy?
Africa's new breed of 'solar-preneurs'
Kiira Motors' chief executive Paul Isaac Musasizi told BBC News that he had been "humbled" by the large and positive reaction to the test drive.
People have been excited by the idea that Uganda is able to produce the concept vehicle, or prototype, and Mr Musasizi said he wanted it to help the country "champion the automotive, engineering and manufacturing industries" in the region.
He also hopes that it will generate employment, predicting that by 2018, more than 7,000 people could be directly and indirectly employed in the making of the Kayoola.
But backing from international companies, which make vehicle parts, is essential for the project to take off.
The vision is that by 2039 the company will be able to manufacture all the parts and assemble the vehicle in Uganda.
The 35-seat bus is intended for urban areas rather than inter-city use because of the restrictions on how far it can travel.
If it is mass produced, each bus would cost up to $58,000 (Â£40,000), which Mr Musasizi says is a a competitive price.
Kiira Motors grew out of a project at Uganda's Makerere University, which is now a shareholder in the company, and it has also benefitted from government funding.

At the moment, 15 out of 20 clubs will have to increase capacity to comply with guidelines on accessible stadiums.
Earlier on Monday, a government report had criticised the inadequate facilities and support for disabled fans at Premier League grounds.
Minister for disabled people Justin Tomlinson MP had said "common sense can fix" some issues, but accepted other areas "will need some work".
"Frankly, some of it is disgraceful," he told BBC Sport. "There isn't provision in some grounds, supporters are split up or are put in with the away fans. I find that totally unacceptable.

Article: Some will pull out a debit or credit card ready to put in a reader. Others might use their smartphone to complete their purchase, the rest will be paying in cash.
The group using notes and coins is still significant but their numbers are starting to dwindle, particularly among the young.
That spells trouble for the operators of cash machines. Time then for a reinvention of the humble ATM [automated teller machine] but in a digital world what can you do with a hole in the wall whose primary function is dispensing cash?
The answer is a "bank in a box", a machine that is the alternative to a branch serving all your financial needs with 24/7 opening hours, says one manufacturer.
Other experts are more sceptical. They say all that can be done is to manage the decline of ATMs, and cash in general, until they are replaced entirely by a digital wallet found on our phones.
This debate is a far cry from the hurried signing of contracts, over a pink gin, between Barclays and John Shepherd-Barron in the UK some 50 years ago.
The deal, between bank and inventor, led to the first ever cash machine being installed in London in 1967.
All did not go entirely to plan. When one was installed in Zurich, Switzerland, there was a mysterious malfunction. Eventually, it was found that wires from two intersecting nearby tramlines were interfering with the mechanism.
Yet with other devices also being patented, the ATM soon evolved and its use spread widely.
The latest figures show that ATM numbers in the BRIC nations [Brazil, Russia, India, China] have gone up sharply and machines remain a constant if not growing sight in Western Europe.
Russia, has seen rapid growth in recent years, according to a report by Payments UK, while growth in India is coming, in part, from the development of solar-powered ATMs in rural areas.

Article: Pte Matthew Boyd, 20, was off-duty on a night out in Brecon when he was punched and beaten by Jake Vallely.
But the jury cleared Vallely's friend Aaeron Evans of manslaughter after Cardiff Crown Court was told he was not present during the attack.
Vallely, 24, will be sentenced on 8 December.
The unconscious body of Pte Boyd, who served with the Royal Gibraltar Regiment, was found by police in the town in the early hours of 8 May.
Pte Boyd, who is originally from Carrickfergus, County Antrim, had been in the town for training exercises at the infantry battle school.
During the trial, the court heard Pte Boyd was making his way back to the barracks when he was attacked outside a bar called The Cellar.
CCTV footage showed the soldier being punched, going to the ground and being beaten until he no longer moved.
Vallely then dragged his body from the scene before fleeing.
The trial was told the killer had been on a seven hour drinking binge and in the hour before the attack was boasting he was the "hardest man in Brecon".
His friend Mr Evans was cleared of any involvement in the attack, after the jury was told he had left the scene before the start of any violence.
Senior investigating officer Det Supt David Guiney, from Dyfed-Powys Police, called the attack "a despicable act" that "shocked" the community of Brecon.
"I plead with anyone who plans a night out drinking with their friends to please, walk away from any conflict, do not resort to violence," he said.
A family tribute described Pte Boyd as an "all-rounder" who had "a promising career ahead of him which has been cut short".
The tribute read: "Matthew was full of life. He was loving, caring and loyal. He was always playing jokes on his peers and family, and always brought smiles to our faces."
It said Vallely had created "a void in our family that will never be filled", adding the "unbearable pain" was something they will have to live with for the rest of their lives.
"During this trial, it has been mentioned that Jake Vallely called himself the 'hardest...

Article: The team, from the University of Bristol, found that raindrops kick off very fast vibrations in the lid of the plant's jug-shaped leaves.
This propels ants from the lid into the pitcher trap below, where they drown and are consumed by digestive juices.
The findings, published in the journal PNAS, are based on high-speed cameras and laser vibration measurements.
Using these instruments, Dr Ulrike Bauer and her colleagues recorded extremely fast movement in the lid of the pitcher leaf, after it was hit by a raindrop.
It wobbles like a stiff spring, she said.
"You have a raindrop hitting the surface and that causes it to move down, fast. Then because of this spring property, it moves to a certain point and springs back.
"You get an oscillation, very similar to when you put a ruler on the edge of your desk and flick the end down with your finger."
This movement is unique in the plant kingdom, Dr Bauer said - partly because of its speed, which easily outstrips the insect-trapping manoeuvres of other carnivorous plants, and partly because of the way it exploits an external energy source.
"Having a fast movement in a plant is unusual in itself," she explained, "but having a fast movement that doesn't require the plant to invest any energy - it just requires it to build the structure - that's something quite surprising."
The findings place the species in the study, Nepenthes gracilis, into its own carnivorous category; it belongs neither with "active" carnivorous plants, like flytraps, nor motionless "passive" insect eaters - like most other pitcher plants.
Key to the pitcher's rain-powered trap is the stiffness of its lid. When the team studied another species, which catches ants using only the slippery rim of its pitcher, they found it had a more bendy lid.
This meant that vibrations from a falling raindrop were concentrated right at the tip - much like the motion of a springboard used in competitive diving, Dr Bauer explained.
"It concentrates the acceleration at the very tip. If you try to jump off the middle of...

Article: European legal experts said the UK may still be liable after Brexit because of "concrete" obligations entered into.
Professor Takis Tridimas, from Kings College London, said commitments the UK had made under the EU's budgetary system would have to be "honoured".
The EU's current Multi-Annual Financial Framework, which sets a seven-year ceiling on spending, runs until 2020.
This has raised the question of what will happen if the UK leaves in 2019.
The UK is expected to begin official Brexit negotiations this Spring, with the talks scheduled to last two years.
Ending Britain's annual financial contributions to the EU was one of the key arguments during the referendum campaign, with Brexit supporters arguing money could be better spent on the NHS and other UK priorities.
The UK government has not ruled out voluntarily contributing to remain part of certain EU programmes, such as the student project Erasmus or Horizon, after Brexit.
But the more controversial issue of whether the UK may have to contribute to the EU's budget for a short period after it leaves has yet to be addressed.
Prof Tridimas chair of European law at Kings College London, told the Lords EU Financial Affairs sub-committee that the UK had signed up to commitments under the Multi-Annual Financial Framework (MAFF), which was unanimously agreed by member states in 2013, until 2020.
While there was no precedent for a member state leaving, he said he believed these commitments were legally binding under existing EU treaties and the terms of the UK's entry into the then European Economic Community in 1972.
However, he said they could potentially be amended in "unforeseeable circumstances", if all member states agreed.
"MAFF can be revised and I think Brexit is grounds for revision," he told peers. "But to my mind unanimity will be required to affect it."
Pressed by committee chair Baroness Falkner whether it could be resolved as part of the Brexit negotiations, he said there was a "good possibility" of a deal.
"It would be wise to have one," he said....

Article: Scotland's chief statistician said there had also been a 4% reduction in homelessness applications compared to the previous year.
However, there was a rise in the number of children in temporary accommodation.
The Scottish government said it wanted to work to reduce homelessness even further.
The Homelessness and Housing Options Statistics report found there were 28,000 cases in Scotland assessed as homeless or threatened with homelessness.
Of these, 25,000 cases were judged to be "unintentionally homeless" and therefore with a right to settled accommodation. About two-thirds secured this accommodation, mainly through the social or private rented sector.
Scottish local authorities said they received about 35,000 homelessness applications during 2015/16.
There has been no change in the number of households in temporary accommodation.
Shelter Scotland said the statistics showed 591 more children were homeless and living in temporary accommodation in 2015/16 than the year before.
The organisation's head of communications and policy, Adam Lang, called the figures "worrying" and said they should set "alarm bells ringing" when combined with the 220,000 children living in poverty in Scotland.
He added: "The impact of poverty and homelessness on children's health and life chances can be devastating. Children living in temporary accommodation can miss up to 55 school days a year, that's a quarter of the school year.
"If Scotland is serious about tackling child poverty and closing the educational attainment gap, then ministers must act now to ensure that all children in Scotland have access to a safe, secure and affordable home."
Shelter Scotland also said Scotland needed a "major step change in the supply of new affordable homes".
Scottish Housing Minister Kevin Stewart welcomed the decrease in homelessness and said the government was doing all it could to make sure everyone had access to a "warm and safe place to stay".
"It is, however, our aim to stop people becoming homeless in the first place which is much better...

The failure to reach a power-sharing deal was a "monumental failure" by Theresa May, she said.
DUP leader Arlene Foster said her party will "keep working over the summer".
Northern Ireland has been without a functioning devolved government since January, when the coalition led by the two biggest parties, the DUP and Sinn Féin, collapsed over a green energy scandal.
In a statement, Mr Brokenshire said the issues dividing the parties "cannot be resolved quickly enough to enable an executive to be formed" soon.
He added that the government would "not forget our responsibilities to uphold political stability and good governance".
"I will reflect carefully in the coming days on any further steps which may be required to support the continued effective provision of public services in Northern Ireland."
The secretary of state has dropped a hint that he is now considering passing a budget from Westminster.
Northern Ireland's civil servants have been controlling finances for several months.
But, to date, they have only had 75% of the block grant allocation.
A budget bill would change that - giving access to all £10bn of annual day-to-day spending.
It would also split the cash among individual departments like health and education.
However, it still leaves the question of who decides what polices or projects to spend it on.
These can be political decisions for ministers - not civil servants.
BBC NI's Political Editor Mark Devenport said a source had told him it was unlikely Mr Brokenshire would legislate for a budget before the Autumn.

Article: Kevin Rose, 57, hit a Vauxhall Corsa before mounting a pavement in Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire.
He struck pedestrian Lucy Brown, 18, of Prestatyn, killing her instantly.
Rose, of Guildford, Surrey, was given a 30-week prison sentence, suspended for two years, and banned from driving for a year.
Rose was convicted last month at Caernarfon Crown Court of  causing death by careless driving in November 2013 but was cleared of a more serious death by dangerous driving charge.
The trial heard Rose was driving a box van and had stopped at a lay-by.
He poured coffee from a flask and was drinking it while driving, which led to the fatal crash, he said.
The defendant coughed and fainted, meaning he was no longer in control of the vehicle.
Judge Robin Rowland, sentencing at Merthyr Crown Court, said: "Anyone contemplating this case cannot help but reflect that had you stayed for another minute or so to drink your coffee before driving off, the chain of events that followed would not have happened."
Rose was also ordered to pay Â£2,800 costs and a Â£100 surcharge.
PC Jo Roberts of North Wales Police said: "It is very sad that a small number of motorists still feel they can behave in a totally inconsiderate and careless manner when they take to the roads."

Article: Mr Zimmerman, a neighbourhood watchman, was cleared over the death of the 17-year-old in February 2012 after saying he acted in self-defence.
He said he was selling the gun partly to raise funds to fight "Hillary Clinton's anti-firearm rhetoric".
The Martin family would not "comment on the actions of that person", they said.
"The Trayvon Martin Foundation is committed to its mission of ending senseless gun violence in the United States," his family said in a statement to media in Florida.
"This election season, we are laser focused on furthering that mission."
When asked by Florida television channel WOFL what he would say to people opposed to the sale, Mr Zimmerman said: "They're not going to be bidding on it, so I couldn't care less about them.''
Few cases in recent years have been more racially sensitive or led to such an anguished national conversation as the killing of Trayvon Martin. It sparked demonstrations around the country, prompted President Obama to remark that if he had a son, he'd have looked like the black teenager and brought about the first use on social media of the hashtag "Black Lives Matter."
So the decision of the former neighbourhood watchman, George Zimmerman to put the gun he used up for auction not only seems extraordinary but also cruel and callous - especially since he refers to the weapon on the online site as an "American icon."
This is not the first time that Zimmerman has sought to cash in on his notoriety. His first painting of an American flag, emblazoned with the words "God One Nation with Liberty and Justice For All," sold on eBay for the staggering sum of $100,000.

Article: The miracle involved the healing of a Brazilian man with several brain tumours in 2008, the Vatican said.
Mother Teresa died in 1997 and was beatified - the first step towards sainthood - in 2003.
She won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work with the poor in the slums of Indian city of Kolkata (Calcutta).
"The Holy Father has authorised the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to proclaim the decree concerning the miracle attributed to the intercession of blessed Mother Teresa," the Vatican said on Friday.
She is expected to be canonised in Rome in September.
Beatification by the Catholic Church requires one miracle, while the process of becoming recognised as a saint requires proof of at least two miracles.
Mother Teresa was beatified in 2003 after Pope John Paul II accepted as authentic a miracle attributed to her.
He judged that the curing of an Indian woman suffering from an abdominal tumour was the result of the supernatural intervention of the late Mother Teresa - a claim challenged by Indian rationalists.
There are few details about the recovery of the Brazilian man, whose life the Vatican says was saved in the second miracle.
His identity has not been disclosed to maintain the discretion needed for the investigation, the Catholic New Agency has said.
It says he was unexpectedly cured from brain tumours in 2008 after his priest prayed for Mother Teresa's intervention with God.
Born Agnes Gonxhe Bojaxhiu in Skopje, Macedonia, in 1910, she founded the Missionaries of Charity in 1949, dedicating her life to caring for impoverished and sick people in Kolkata.
Known as the "saint of the gutter", she earned worldwide acclaim for her efforts.
Her critics, however, accused her of mixing with dictators and peddling a hardline Catholicism.

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

Article: The Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) also needs to step up its enforcement and regulation activity, the review said.
The NIEA's responsibilities include illegal waste.
The recommendations are in a report by Criminal Justice Inspection Northern Ireland.
The report examined the work of an NIEA unit responsible for major criminal investigations.
Its recommendations have been welcomed by Environment Minister Mark H Durkan who said they "mirror my approach".
Criminal Justice Inspection was called in to review the Environmental Crime Unit after concerns were raised last year about the way cases were being conducted.
It found there was nothing to suggest "systematic malpractice" and said claims of "criminal interference" were "unproven".
But it did suggest measures that could improve the unit's performance, including the prioritisation of serious cases.
James Corrigan of the Criminal Justice Inspection said: "The unit needs to apply a much more robust and rigorous approach to enforcement.
"That mean's much more focus on gathering evidence, a greater focus on case preparation and a greater focus on effective prosecution."
The report said more staff with an investigations background should be recruited.
It also recommended that there should be a strategic assessment of the waste industry to establish the scale of environmental crime in it.
It also said that when deciding which cases to pursue, persistent serious offenders should not benefit from discretion.
"The underlying principle of full compliance and respect for the law should be clearly stated and emphasised," it said.
Mr Durkan said the inspection team had been called in at his request.
"We already have a business plan in place to build strong partnerships with other law enforcement agencies to get tougher on those who damage our environment and heritage," he said.
"I accept all the report's recommendations in principle and, subject to some issues of resourcing, look forward to helping drive these forward, in partnership with our stakeholders. "

Article: Comic Enterprises had argued that 20th Century Fox's production had breached its trademark rights to the phrase The Glee Club.
A High Court judge ruled in the UK company's favour but said it had not been damaged.
The owner of the comedy and music venue chain, Mark Tughan, said he felt vindicated by the ruling.
Speaking after the hearing, he said: "It's a relief because you can't get any more David and Goliath than this.
"I always knew it would be a career-defining situation but I did not take it on for the fun of it - I took it on to win."
After the verdict was announced a spokesman for The Glee Club said in a statement: "The TV show could now be taken off air in the UK, Glee merchandise and DVDs removed from UK shops and music downloads halted."
A 20th Century Fox Television spokesperson stated: "We intend to appeal and are confident that, as the case plays out, we will ultimately prevail. We remain committed to delivering Glee to all of its fans in the UK."
The television show, about a singing club at a fictional US high school, first aired in 2009 on the Fox Channel - part of Rupert Murdoch's media empire.
Mr Tughan said the trademark was registered in 1999 and launched legal proceedings against 20th Century Fox in September 2011, which was contested.
He said: "Smaller independent businesses should take heart from today's decision.
"It clearly shows that trademark infringements by large multi-national companies can be effectively challenged in British courts.
"Trademark law does not exclusively exist for the world's largest companies, able to spend millions of pounds to protect their intellectual property, whilst simultaneously infringing the trademarks of others."
Deputy High Court Judge Roger Wyand QC made no mention of compensation in his written ruling but did state subsequent issues would be studied at another hearing.
He said album compilations of songs performed on the show had been sold in the UK, two world concert tours had included performances in Manchester and London and Glee merchandise had...

Article: It is thought to be the second test of the North's new Musudan missile. An attempt earlier this month also failed.
The tests come amid a recent ramp-up in weapons activity as the country prepares for a rare party congress.
Reports suggest it is planning a fifth nuclear test, despite condemnation of its last test in January.
South Korean officials said the mid-range missile launch took place early Thursday morning near the eastern coastal city of Wonsan but the missile "crashed a few seconds later" in the coastal area, reported Yonhap news agency.
The incident was captured by a US surveillance satellite.
The Musudan missiles are said to be able to travel up to 4,000km (2,485 miles), within the range of US territories in the Pacific.
No confirmation of the attempt or the failure has come from North Korea, but sources in South Korea say that the movement of two so-called Musudan missiles, mounted on trucks, was detected earlier in the month.
One was launched two weeks ago and tracked but failed to go far. The same has now happened to the second, according to South Korea.
Kim Jong-un is building up to a big event in just over a week, a rare meeting of the ruling Workers' Party in Pyongyang.
He has trumpeted a series of announcements about progress towards having a nuclear-tipped missile capable of striking Washington. Failed launches indicate that the reality may not match the rhetoric.
All the same, they indicate determination. A fifth nuclear test coinciding with the congress would not be a surprise.
On Saturday, North Korea's foreign minister Ri Yong-su suggested that it would suspend nuclear tests if the US ended its annual military exercises with the South.
But US President Barack Obama dismissed the proposal, saying it was not serious and that North Korea would "have to do better than that".
Strengthened international sanctions were placed on North Korea after it tested what it claimed was a hydrogen bomb and launched a long-range missile.
Over the weekend it also claimed it fired a submarine ballistic...

Summary:


Pupils at about 400 Kenyan schools are trying to break the world record for having the most people reading aloud simultaneously from the same book.

Article: It would be paid without any requirement to work and regardless of income from other sources.
Mark Drakeford said the idea was "attractive" but said politicians would have a "job" to convince the public.
He promised to monitor experiments in Glasgow and Fife but said there were doubts over whether Welsh ministers had the power to introduce such a system.
Mr Drakeford was responding to a question in the Senedd from Plaid Cymru finance spokesman Adam Price.
The Green Party and the trade union Unite have endorsed versions of the basic income.
In 2016, the RSA think tank proposed a basic income of £3,692 for people aged between 25 and 65, using data for taxes and benefits from 2012-13.
Mr Drakeford told AMs on Wednesday that no local council had contacted Welsh ministers seeking backing for a basic income pilot.
"Nevertheless I intend to monitor the progress of the feasibility work currently being carried out in Fife and Glasgow," he said.
"And while there are clear competence questions to be addressed here, UBI [Universal Basic Income] has the potential to make a significant contribution to addressing poverty and inequality.
"Were we to move ahead on it we would face headlines of the sort the Sun newspaper used when reporting the Glasgow experiment, saying it was 'doling out pay for no work even for people who have a job'.
"So the idea, while attractive in the way that it can simplify and support people who currently have to rely on a very complex set of part-time work, part-time benefits and so on, the political world will face a job of convincing the public."
A Welsh Conservatives spokesman said: "This well-intentioned but expensive idea, raises serious questions - not least because most estimates suggest that the basic rate of income tax would need to more than double to pay for it.
"This could also have the unforeseen consequence of stifling incentive to take extra work, with devastating consequences for the economy."

Summary: A "basic income" paid to everyone could help tackle poverty and inequality, according to the finance secretary.

Article: The study suggests some people recruit extra nerve power to help maintain their ability to think.
Scientists hope the findings could shed light on why only some people with early signs of the condition go on to develop severe memory decline.
But experts warn much more research is needed to understand these processes.
The study, led by researchers at the University of California, involved 71 adults with no signs of mental decline.
Brain scans showed 16 of the older subjects had amyloid deposits - tangles of protein that are considered a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.
All participants were asked to memorise a series of pictures in detail while scanners were used to track their brain activity.
They were then asked to recall the gist and later the detail of all the pictures they had seen.
Both groups performed equally well but those with tangles of amyloid in their brains showed more brain activity when remembering the images in detail.
Scientists say this suggests their brains have an ability to adapt to and compensate for any early damage caused by the protein.
Dr Laura Phipps, at the charity Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "This small study suggests that our brains may have ways of resisting early damage from these Alzheimer's proteins but more research is needed to know how to interpret these results.
She added: "Longer term studies are needed to confirm whether the extra brain activity seen in this research is a sign of the brain compensating for early damage, and if so, how long the brain might be able to fight this damage."
Scientists say they need to understand why some people with an accumulation of this protein are better at using different parts of their brain than others.
Dr William Jagust, a researcher on the study, said: "I think it is very possible that people who spend a lifetime involved in cognitively stimulating activity have brains that are better able to adapt to potential damage."

Summary: The human brain may be able to compensate for some of the early changes seen in Alzheimer's disease, research in Nature Neuroscience shows.

Article: A referendum on whether the UK should stay in the EU will be held on 23 June.
Martin McGuinness said a vote to end the UK's EU membership would have "profound consequences" and would be a "political and economic game-changer".
The Sinn FÃ©in MLA said if that happened his party would put pressure on Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers to call a border poll.
Ms Villiers has the power, under the terms of Good Friday Agreement, to call a poll on whether Northern Ireland should remain part of the UK or unite with the Republic of Ireland.
A border poll was last held in Northern Ireland in 1973 and was largely boycotted by nationalists.
Mr McGuinness said: "I have proposed to Theresa Villiers that, given the enormous significance of these issues, the British government now give a firm commitment to an immediate border poll in the event Britain votes to leave the European Union."
He added that a border poll would be a "legitimate test of political opinion that would threaten no-one".
But the Northern Ireland Office said the government had set out its position on a border poll ahead of the 2015 Westminster election.
Last year's Conservative Party manifesto said "all tests of opinion" showed that "a substantial majority" of people in Northern Ireland "continues to support the union" with Great Britain.
It added that "the circumstances requiring a border poll are not currently satisfied" and that holding a vote over the Irish border would be "costly, divisive and a distraction".
Ms Villiers has said there are "risks on both sides of this debate" but the "safer option" was to leave.
She claimed last month that Northern Ireland would remain in a strong position financially if voters opted for a withdrawal from the EU.
Her stance has been supported by the Democratic Unionist Party.
But Northern Ireland's other main parties - the Ulster Unionists, the Social Democratic and Labour Party and the Alliance Party - are backing a vote for the UK to remain an EU member.

Summary: A border poll should be held in Ireland if the UK leaves the European Union, the deputy first minister has said.

Article: They read from Attack of the Shidas about children from different Kenyan communities working together to protect their well from an alien invasion.
The event is meant to foster a culture of reading in the country, the organisers told the BBC.
The US currently holds the Guinness World Record set by 233,000 people.
It will take at least a week to work out whether they have been successful as they need to tally the number of pupils from across the country who participated.
Kenyan children's book author Muthoni Muchemi led the event with 1,700 students reading from her book at Hospital Hill Primary School in the capital, Nairobi.
Afterwards, she said she wanted to break the stereotype that Africans do not care for books.
"Growing up I would always hear that if you want to hide something from an African, put it in a book - and it was really upsetting to me," she told the BBC.
"I want to help change that perception and the first step is to re-introduce reading not just as important but enjoyable," she said.
"I have seen over the years that a lot of families don't have libraries in their homes but have they have big TVs. We need to get parents to understand that reading for pleasure with their children is an important part of brain development."
The 13- and 14-year-olds, dressed in grey and white uniforms, who chorused the words at Hospital Hill Primary School said they enjoyed the challenge.
"I enjoy reading because it teaches me about other people and places. It teaches me about the world," one girl said.
Another student said he thought Attack of the Shidas had important life lessons about working together and accepting people's differences.
It is not the first time Kenya has tried to break the record - last year 142,279 children read aloud in 360 schools.
This time, Ms Muchemi is more optimistic about the Storymoja National Read Aloud attempt.
But she says in the end it is about building confidence in children.

The controversy over the use of the terms 'Derry' and 'Londonderry' surfaces in state papers that have just been released.

Article: The biggest single factor is the use of fertiliser to grow wheat, which accounts for 43% of greenhouse gas emissions, say experts.
Emissions arise from energy needed to make ammonium nitrate fertiliser and from nitrous oxide released when it is broken down in the soil.
Around 12 million loaves are sold each day in the UK.
Consumers need to be more aware of the environmental costs of their food, say researchers at the University of Sheffield.
There are growing concerns about pollution from plastic packaging around food, as well as wider environmental issues.
Lead researcher Dr Liam Goucher said that in every loaf there is embodied global warming resulting from the fertiliser farmers use to increase their wheat harvest.
"That one key raw material accounts for - in terms of global warming potential - 43% of a loaf of bread," he told BBC News.
"People are well aware of where bread comes from but there's a lack of understanding about perhaps the environmental impact of that bread or the emissions contained by that bread," he added.
The researchers carried out the study to highlight concerns that ammonium nitrate fertiliser is being used "at unsustainable rates".
Up to 60% of crops are grown with the use of fertilisers, made up of chemicals such as methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia and nitrogen.
While synthetic fertilisers can boost the growth of plants - and raise yields - they can also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Prof Peter Horton, a co-researcher on the study, added: "With over 100 million tonnes of fertiliser used globally each year to support agricultural production this is a massive problem, but environmental impact is not costed within the system and so there are currently no real incentives to reduce our reliance on fertiliser."
The research, published in the journal Nature Plants, analysed the complete process behind producing a loaf of bread:
The data found that growing wheat for bread had the biggest influence on producing greenhouse gases, mainly through the use of fertiliser.
This was...

Article: Heads and principals who have played a key role in turning around a school or college will get the letters, with a copy going to the education secretary.
Sir Michael Wilshaw set out the plan as he confirmed a switch to more frequent, but shorter Ofsted inspections.
Heads said the changes could make inspections fairer and more effective.
The plans are designed to encourage school leaders who put their careers on the line to tackle troubled schools.
In a speech in London, Sir Michael said: "Those leaders who are taking risks, putting themselves out and disseminating good practice beyond their own institution need to be celebrated as exceptional reformers."
On the move to shorten inspections, Sir Michael said it would "reduce the burden of inspection without losing the rigour which parents and the public rightly expect of Ofsted".
The new inspections will last a single day, rather than two days as at present, and be led by two senior inspectors or HMIs.
"Make no mistake, this a very different inspection model to what has gone before," Sir Michael said.
"The starting assumption of HMIs will be that the school or college is good. This should engender an atmosphere in which honest, challenging, professional dialogue can take place."
The changes are due to come into force in September along with changes to the way Ofsted inspectors are hired and managed.
More Ofsted inspectors will be drawn from staff in good and outstanding schools and colleges, for example.
Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: "While we welcomed Ofsted's plan to carry out short inspections of 'good' schools rather than full inspections, we felt that schools likely to be downgraded, or upgraded, should immediately have the required full inspection rather than being kept in limbo. We are reassured that our advice has been acted upon.
"We are also pleased that the emphasis in Ofsted's revised school inspection handbook will be on assessing schools on the outcomes they achieve for students,...

Summary: Exceptional school leaders in England are to be recognised with a personal letter from Ofsted's chief inspector as part of new inspection arrangements.

Article: Electoral reform plans in the last parliament suggested creating constituencies of 75,000 voters, but the island currently has about 110,000.
Conservative Andrew Turner MP tweeted the island "will have two MPs by 2020".
The Boundary Commission confirmed two undersized constituencies was the likely outcome of a new review.
In 2010, during the last review of constituency boundaries, the commission proposed dividing the Isle of Wight.
About 16,000 people signed a petition to stop a second island constituency being added to part of Hampshire.
The boundary review was never completed in the last parliament as the Lib Dems withdrew their support following a dispute with their Conservative coalition partners over proposed elections to the House of Lords.
The Boundary Commission is due to begin a new review of boundaries in time for the 2020 general election.
Mr Turner said: "Now we have the majority, the government can indeed turn it from a one-constituency to a two-constituency island."
He said it was likely to be an east-west division and there would "absolutely not" be any splitting of a constituency between the island and part of the mainland.

Summary: The Isle of Wight will be split into two Parliamentary constituencies at the next general election, its current MP has said.

Article: The British Government permitted changing the name of the local authority to Derry City Council in 1985.
The council's town clerk was instructed to write to NI Secretary Douglas Hurd.
He asked that staff in government departments be allowed to use 'Derry' or 'Londonderry' in official letters.
In response, Londonderry Unionist Association said it reinforced the claim for a separate district council for the East Bank of the Foyle.
Pat Carvill, a Stormont official, said its real effect was to force council staff and the public to indicate where they stood on the name-change issue.
His advice was that government bodies should employ the current terminology, using Derry City Council, but Londonderry as the postal address.
The controversy over the city's name re-surfaced the following year.
DUP MLA Gregory Campbell protested to David Fell, the Permanent Secretary at the Department of Economic Development in Stormont, about the use of the word 'Derry' in a job advertisement for the local Shantallow Area Workshop.
Writing from the Stormont Assembly on 22 April 1986, Mr Campbell told the official: "As you are probably aware, the way in which advertisements are worded can very often affect the type of people who apply.
"An ad placed in Londonderry with the term 'Derry' is virtually certain to preclude many Protestants from applying."
In this case, it suggested that the business in question was exclusively Catholic.
The MLA said: "Whether or not this is the case I feel a workshop sponsored by the DED ought not to have an incorrect or politically-motivated version of the city's name in the advertisement."
He asked if action could be taken by the department or if he should refer the case to the Fair Employment Agency for investigation.
In a minute on the file, Trevor Pearson of the Stormont Central Secretariat said on 30 April 1986: "The issue of the use of Derry or Londonderry drags on interminably.
"The government position is simply that the correct address is Londonderry and that Derry is used only when referring to...

Article: Writing to the Sunday Times, the group say that if the meals were scrapped, the move could harm children's health.
The coalition government introduced the meals a year ago for all pupils in the first three years of school in England.
But there has been speculation the policy could face cuts under the Conservative administration.
Such a move would be "short-term thinking indeed", argues the letter, although there has been no word that the meals are under threat in the cuts of between 25% and 40% demanded by Chancellor George Osborne from every government department from unprotected budgets for his spending review.
The free school meals budget has cost around Â£600m each year - but the meals could be vulnerable as they are not part of the per-pupil schools budget, which is protected.
The letter, signed by 40 leading health professionals, applauds the government for its "continued support" of universal infant free school meals and the School Food Plan which stipulates nutritional standards for meals served in local authority-run schools.
"With one in three children currently leaving primary school overweight or obese, ensuring a healthy, nutritionally balanced school lunch has never been so important," it says.
The signatories, who include Prof Lord Darzi of Denham, director of the Institute of Global Health Innovation, and Prof Sheila the Baroness Hollins, who chairs the British Medical Association's science board, describe childhood obesity as "one of our greatest public health challenges".
They list health risks faced by overweight and obese children, including insulin resistance, hypertension, early signs of heart disease, asthma and poor mental health.
The letter argues free meals could pay for themselves many times over by improving diets and reducing NHS costs.
Only 1% of packed lunches meet the nutritional standards which apply to school food, it adds.
"There is evidence that children who eat a healthy school lunch consume more vegetables and fewer sugary drinks and crisps.
"It would be short-term...

Summary: Free school meals for infant pupils must be protected and not sacrificed in any budget cuts, say top doctors and nutritionists in a letter to a paper.

Article: The West Yorkshire Combined Authority has agreed a total business flood recovery fund of £5m.
It said grants could include cash to repair or buy new equipment, pay to restore flood-hit premises or help with relocation costs.
The fund will be managed by the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership.
The money will come from the area's regional growth fund allocation from the government for 2016/17.
The city region area covers the 10 local authority areas of Barnsley, Bradford, Calderdale, Craven, Harrogate, Kirklees, Leeds, Selby, Wakefield and York.
It is believed around 2,000 businesses were damaged by the flooding in December.
Peter Box, chair of the combined authority, said: "I know how devastating it has been for many small and medium businesses and the knock-on effect for those companies that are suppliers or customers of those flood-hit firms."
Mr Box said he accepted the money would only "scratch the surface" and said the combined authority would continue to press for continuing support for flood prevention measures from the government.
He said the grants, which would range from £5,000 to £100,000, would be in addition to financial support already offered for flood clean-up costs by local authorities.

Summary: Grants of up to £100,000 are to be made available to support business in West Yorkshire hit by flooding over Christmas.

Article: The draft report, apparently written for the UK government, was obtained by the Intercept website from US whistle-blower Edward Snowden.
It suggests that "life-saving intelligence data" could be missed.
Its release comes as the Investigatory Powers Bill goes through Parliament.
Extracts from the the document read: "The security service... can currently collect significantly more than it is able to exploit fully.
"This creates a real risk of intelligence failure from the service being unable to access potentially life-saving intelligence from data that it has already collected."
The report is marked classified and dated 12 February 2010.
It was allegedly prepared by British spy agency officials to brief the government's Cabinet Office and Treasury Department about the UK's surveillance capabilities.
Those capabilities are currently due to be updated via the controversial Investigatory Powers Bill, which is now at the report stage in Parliament.
It aims to give legal backing to the bulk collection of internet traffic, as well as requiring service providers to store browsing records for 12 months.
The government said these added powers were necessary in the fight against terrorism
A revised version was drawn up earlier this year after a raft of concerns about whether it had got the balance between privacy and security right.
The government needs the bill to go through before the end of year, when the current laws regulating surveillance expire.
Critics of the bill said the alleged leaked document showed mass surveillance was not the answer.
Open Rights Group communications director Pam Cowburn told the BBC:  "We have been calling on the government to make the operational case for costly bulk surveillance programmes that allow the collection of vast amounts of data.
"As today's leaks show, there are genuine concerns that mass surveillance is making us less, not more, safe.

Article: They were trying to block an anti-terrorism bill which they said threatened personal freedoms.
But they gave up on Wednesday fearing a public backlash, as the prolonged anti-terror proceedings were delaying the passing of other important bills.
The previous world record of 57 hours was set by a Canadian party in 2011.
The end of the filibuster in Seoul means that a bill backed by the ruling Saenuri Party, which holds the majority of seats in parliament, will be put to a vote and is likely to be passed.
The legislation allows intelligence services to collect a wide range of personal information - including phone records - on anyone deemed to pose a security risk. Opposition parties said it would violate privacy rights and could be used to stifle political dissent.
Filibustering is a parliamentary delaying tactic by which MPs drag out speeches to the end of the allocated time, so that no vote can be held.
South Korea's filibuster was spearheaded by main opposition party Minjoo which was joined by other smaller parties, and began last Tuesday, 23 February.
Their tactics included reading out lengthy academic articles in full as well as news articles and internet comments, staging elaborate and rambling monologues and even reading from George Orwell's novel 1984.
Some lawmakers were spotted wearing trainers, while others reportedly refrained from drinking water so that they could cut down on loo breaks. Still others were seen dozing off in their seats during the marathon session.
The longest speech made was by Jung Cheong-rae, who spoke for 11 hours 39 minutes.
They would have succeeded if they had managed to hold out until the end of the parliamentary session at midnight on 10 March.
But as the days wore on they faced increasing public criticism, as the filibuster was delaying the passage of bills on North Korean human rights and electoral districts for April's general election.
But President Park Geun-hye had argued such measures were necessary and condemned the filibuster as "nothing more than a dereliction of...

Ms Charrett, who disputed claims Jack fouled the building, said a meeting with on Wednesday with representatives from Hyde Housing was very straightforward.
"They kept it very simple," she said. "I do believe it was so straightforward because of all the support that we had.
"They gave me a form to fill in and said he could stay.
"You basically have to tell them all about Jack every detail and take responsibility for the fact that he doesn't do anything he was accused of.
"They came and actually met him and agreed that he is a lovely cat."
The housing association said it had agreed a way forward that was fair to all its residents.
It said the pet permission form ensured tenants followed its responsible owner guidelines, including cleaning up any mess promptly.

Article: Toys tied in to the forthcoming release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the latest instalment of the science-fiction juggernaut, are being unwrapped and demonstrated on YouTube.
Amateurs have posted unboxing videos onto Google's service almost since its inception.
However, Disney's action highlights how the activity is being adopted by the companies that make and sell the goods.
Clips of toys being unpackaged and played with have proven to be particularly popular.
One of YouTube's most popular channels is FunToyzCollector, a four-year-old account that shows products being held up by an elegantly manicured pair of hands from a variety of angles.
It has clocked up more than 7.7 billion views since launching, and this week alone attracted more than 75 million clicks.
Its most popular video highlights a Play-Doh tie-in with Disney's Frozen movie, which has gained more than 337 million views alone since July 2014.
The Star Wars unboxing event kicked off in Sydney, followed by YouTube broadcasts from around the globe, prior to the release of the toys in shops on Friday.
Unboxing videos are undeniably popular - out of the top 25 most viewed YouTube channels five are dedicated to the activity.
Along with DisneyCollectorBR, there's It'sBabyBigMouth, which focuses on unwrapping Kinder eggs and building the toys, BluCollection, HobbyKidsTV and another toy-fixated channel - DisneyCarToys.
Social media expert Tom Cheesewright says the attraction is partly to do with the vicarious thrill of seeing someone open a brand new product.
"There's the first-person hands in front of you - it seems you're there. You're seeing it unwrapped first," he says.
For many children it has become the modern equivalent of leafing through a toy catalogue, and the clips can hold more interest than cartoons or other programming.
For marketers the idea of having their target audience watching and then rewatching lengthy clips rather than short commercials has obvious appeal.
According to Google Consumer Surveys data, 62% of people who watch the...

Article: That figure is the recommendation of the panel that was tasked with setting MLAs' expenses and salaries.
After the assembly election, the UUP and SDLP said they would not go into the executive and went into opposition.
Now the Independent Financial Review Panel (IFRP) has written to assembly speaker Robin Newton saying pay must reflect the reality of opposition.
At present MLAs are paid £49,000 a year, whilst ministers below the level of first and deputy first ministers are on £87,000.
The review panel recommends opposition leaders, who are entitled to a seat in the executive but who do not take one, should get £68,000.
The panel, whose term of office ended last week, also recommends opposition leaders should get support staff.
Panel member Alan McQuillan told the BBC: "Our responsibility was to look at expenses and salaries payable to people and to make sure they were fair in comparison to the jobs they did."
He added: "They were quite clearly new jobs. They had additional responsibilities.
"We thought it would be fair to pitch them somewhere between the salary of a Minister and an ordinary MLA. So we thought they needed more salary but we also felt to do their job effectively they needed additional expenses."
The panel's proposals have received a cold response from the political parties.
On Tuesday, the UUP said they were sceptical of the need for an increased salary for opposition leaders. A spokeswoman told the BBC they wanted extra resources for support and research.
A DUP spokesman said: "Provision for opposition research funding has already been made.  The question of further funding is a matter for the parties in the assembly but we are not persuaded of the need to fund specific opposition posts where there is little additional responsibility."
A Sinn Féin representative said: "The proposal for increases in salaries and resources for opposition leaders, as mooted by former members of the IFRP, is not included in the Fresh Start Agreement".
The SDLP declined to comment.
The letter to Assembly speaker...

Summary: Leaders of the opposition at Stormont should receive a salary of £68,000 and should get support staff.

The centre-right EPP is set to take the largest share of the seats, with an estimated 208 - against 186 for the centre-left S&D bloc.
The EPP choice for president of the European Commission, former Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, has already claimed the post for himself, despite opposition from the UK's ruling Conservative Party.

The two big upsets of the elections are the far right coming first in France and Eurosceptics taking top spot in the UK.
In France, the National Front overcame its pariah status to win 24 seats, coming first in about 70% of the country's regions. The centre-right opposition UMP saw its share of seats shrink from 29 to 20, prompting party leader Jean-Francois Cope to announce his resignation in the autumn. The UMP has been dogged by a party funding scandal.
Meanwhile, the ruling Socialists lost only one seat, but remained with a meagre tally of 13. President Francois Hollande reacted by calling on the EU to reform and scale back its power,
The UK Independence Party (UKIP) had 27.5% of the vote and 24 MEPs in the UK. The opposition Labour Party, on 25%, narrowly beat the ruling Conservatives to take second place.

Jurassic World has become the first film to take more than $500m (£322m) at the global box office on its opening weekend.

Article: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence says staff are either too overstretched or undertrained to provide for patients who are seriously dehydrated and need to be on a drip.
It is launching draft guidelines to remedy this.
A confidential inquiry found many patients received either too little or too much fluid, which can be fatal.
Data gathered by the National Confidential Enquiry into Perioperative Deaths (NCEPOD) suggests as many as one in five patients on intravenous (IV) fluids have complications or die because of inappropriate administration.
The NCEPOD says inexperienced junior doctors are being left to provide care.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) says as well as a lack of training in IV fluid management, professionals may be overworked and unable to give patients the attention they need.
And experts often disagree on which IV fluids are best, leading to wide variation in practice.
Prof Mark Baker, director of the Centre for Clinical Practice at NICE, said: "Current pressures on the NHS and the people who work within it can mean staff without the right knowledge or training are sometimes left to look after people who may need intravenous fluid therapy - when fluids must be administered through a drip.
"Making sure someone has the right level of fluid in their body is fundamental to good, basic care but this isn't always happening. There can be serious consequences if the wrong amount or composition of IV fluids is prescribed."
If a person receives too much or too little fluid this can lead to problems such as fluid in the lungs, dangerously raised or lowered levels of potassium, sodium or nutrients such as glucose, and in some cases, heart failure.
NCEPOD chief executive Dr Marisa Mason said: "NCEPOD welcomes the new guideline on fluid management, which has addressed the concerns that we have highlighted in several of our reports during the last 10 years.
"The NICE single guideline is a positive move that will support healthcare staff provide good quality care...

Article: Stage three on 8 September will start in Cumbria but finish at Floors Castle in Kelso via Gretna.
The following day the race will resume in Edinburgh before heading south to Northumberland.
Paul Bush of EventScotland said the "stunning scenery" of the area would provide a "perfect stage" for the race.
"The Edinburgh start in particular will be of particular interest to Scottish cycling fans as we see the peloton ride through the capital for the very first time," he said.
"With excitement and passion for cycling at a record high following the hugely successful road race at the Commonwealth Games last year, we look forward to welcoming some of the world's top riders to Scotland once again."
The first stage to come into Scotland starts in Cockermouth but will cross the border at Gretna and head through Dumfries and Galloway before racing through Hawick, Selkirk and Melrose before finishing in Kelso.
The following day it will leave Edinburgh and pass through Musselburgh, East Lothian, Duns and Coldstream before crossing back into England.
"The return of such a prestigious event emphasises our ability to host high-profile events here in the Borders and is further recognition of the fact that the Scottish Borders is Scotland's leading cycling destination," said Stuart Bell of Scottish Borders Council.
Councillor Richard Lewis, Edinburgh's new festivals and events champion, said it was an "exciting event" for the city.
"Elite cyclists from all over the world will descend on the capital and the dramatic backdrop of Edinburgh's winding streets will make for a spectacular sight," he said.
"This is going to be a must-see event for both local people and visitors to the city."
Race director Mick Bennett said: "This year's route gives us the fantastic opportunity to have two days of racing in Scotland and to make first visits to the east of the Scottish Borders and Edinburgh," he said.
"I am sure many cycling fans will be excited, just like we are, at the prospect of seeing the world's top riders on the streets of the...

Article: The Mountain Weather Information Service (MWIS) said it could close if it loses support from sportscotland.
The non-profit making forecasting service said this could put the safety of climbers and walkers at risk.
The Scottish government sporting body said it was committed to the provision of reliable, authoritative forecasts.
The MWIS claimed if funding was not continued it would stop producing forecasts at the end of this year.
But sportscotland said insisted the warning about safety was  a "disappointing and misleading" .
It said investment in MWIS would continue until the end of this year and it had been involved in collaboration discussions for over a year with the Met Office and MWIS about building a "resilient and development-focused mountain weather forecast provision for Scotland".
"sportscotland's priority is to ensure there is a sustainable mountain forecast for Scotland through the provision of reliable, authoritative forecasts, which are relevant to outdoor activities and enable forecast users to make informed judgements about their chosen activities," it said in a statement.
"This is precisely what we will deliver and we will ensure there is a continuity of this service."
MWIS and sportscotland both said they were open to more discussions.
Geoff Monk, Galloway-based lead forecaster at MWIS said: "The funding withdrawal by sportscotland, following their previous decision to collaborate with MWIS, was a real shock and jeopardises the safety of those who use the mountains every day.
"All we want is for MWIS to continue to provide a consistent, quality service so that mountain users can enjoy the mountains safely, fully aware of what the weather will throw at them.
"MWIS has a stable, long-term future and the service will continue to be enhanced provided funding continues.
"We are asking sportscotland to come back to the negotiating table and commit to the continued funding of MWIS so its long-term future is secured."

Article: In the US it took $204.6m (£132m) according to early estimates, making it the second biggest opening weekend ever just behind 2012's Marvel's The Avengers with $207.4m (£133.8m).
What is the secret to the film's success?
Although he spent many years in supporting roles and is best known for his comic role in cult US sitcom Parks and Recreation, Pratt has become one of Hollywood's most bankable stars in the past year.
He starred in two of 2014's top five grossing films at the US box office - The Lego Movie and Guardians of the Galaxy.
An endearing mixture of charm, vulnerability and humour means he can humanise even the most effects-laden summer blockbusters - something he proved in Marvel's Guardians, where his co-stars were a talking raccoon and a giant animated tree.
Against expectations, the film took $774m (£499m) at the global box office - making it the third highest-grossing film in 2014.
The actor didn't exactly get hit with the ugly stick, either.
There is a strict quota on the number of foreign films which can be screened in China - currently set at 34 movies a year.
But the country's film market is the world's second largest after the US so getting your film on the list can boost box office takings considerably.
Most Hollywood blockbusters do not open in China the same time as the US but unusually, Jurassic World opened in both territories the same weekend.
The film opened in 66 foreign markets in total, earning $307.2m (£198m). China accounted for $100.8m (£65m) - almost 20% of its total haul.
When Jurassic Park was released Imax screens were scarce, reserved usually for short films, documentaries and theme park novelties.
With some 800 Imax screens around the world now, the prospect of seeing dinosaurs even larger than life-size has proved to be a compelling draw.
With the added ability to see a T-Rex in 3D, it seems audiences have been happy to pay premium prices for extra spectacle - bumping up box office returns in the process.
According to box office analysts Rentrak, nearly 50% of Jurassic...

A care worker has been jailed for stealing £75,000 from a patient to spend on a "lavish lifestyle".

Article: Seoul claims Beijing is retaliating economically over its deployment of a US anti-missile defence system.
South Korea's Trade Minister Joo Hyung-hwan told parliament China "may be in violation of some trade agreements".
China opposes the deployment, saying it will affect the regional security balance and allow the US to spy on it.
Washington and Seoul say the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (Thaad) system is designed to protect against threats from North Korea. But it has caused significant tension with China, which is South Korea's largest trading partner.
"The Chinese government may not admit that they took retaliatory measures against the Thaad decision, but we have to point out the possibility," Mr Joo said according to Yonhap news agency.
"We are collecting evidence and will also deal with issues that South Korean companies are treated unfairly in China."
South Korea complained about China to the WTO over the issue on Friday, Mr Joo said.
What impact will S Korea's expanded missile defence system have?
China's leaders have voiced serious displeasure over the Thaad system and its deployment has generated anti-South Korean sentiment.
The row has coincided with a number of economic measures being imposed on South Korea.
China's National Tourism Administration ordered local travel agencies to stop selling tour packages to South Korea starting 15 March, according to Korea's Tourism Organisation.
"Some estimates suggest that Beijing's travel ban could reduce the number of Chinese visitors to South Korea by up to 70%, resulting in billions of dollars in lost tourism-related revenue," Scott Seaman, director of Asia at the Eurasia Group, said.
China froze the sale and distribution of some South Korean television dramas, music and products starting last October. Nearly all shows or music concerts starring Korean artists have been suspended.
Chinese authorities have also closed dozens of stores belonging to South Korea's Lotte Group, which has signed a deal to provide land to host the Thaad system, for...

Article: Property prices in England rose by 5.6% in the 12 months to the end of August, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
This was higher than a 2.9% rise in Northern Ireland, a 0.8% rise in Wales and a fall of 0.9% in Scotland.
The average price of a home in the UK rose to Â£284,000.
Overall, the pace of UK house price rises was unchanged in August compared with July.
The annual rise in prices of 5.2% was still much faster than consumer prices in general, which were unchanged over the same period.
Richard Snook, senior economist at accountants PwC, said: "The figures show a robust housing market, providing further ammunition for those calling for an interest rate rise in the near term.
"With inflation likely to rise over the coming months as last winter's energy price decline drops out of the equation, we expect pressure to continue to build on the Monetary Policy Committee."
The ONS said that house prices were rising faster for owner-occupiers (up 5.8%) than they were for first-time buyers (up 3.8%).
Regionally, the fastest property price rise was seen in the East of England (up 8.8%), with Scotland registering the only fall in average prices.
Separate figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) show that activity in the home loans market dipped in August compared with the previous month.
There were 62,300 mortgages approved for house purchases in the UK during the month.
This total was down 9.3% compared with July, but 1.5% higher than in August 2014.
Analysts said that there was generally a lull in activity during August as potential homebuyers took time out for summer holidays.

Summary: House prices in England have risen considerably faster than in the rest of the UK in the last year, official figures show.

Article: Beating Bowel Cancer found wide variation within the NHS in England in diagnosing the disease.
It says 3,200 lives could be saved each year if every NHS region did as well as the best performing areas.
In some regions, less than a third of cases are detected before the cancer has started to spread around the body.
Part of the problem is people not coming forward for checks.
A bowel-cancer screening programme was introduced in England in 2006, but figures show that uptake among the eligible 60- to 74-year-old age group has been around the 60% mark.
Early detection is vital.
Those diagnosed with the disease in its advanced stages have a 7% chance of living another five years.
This compares with a 97% chance of survival if the cancer is detected at the earliest possible stage.
The regional diagnostic figures quoted by Beating Bowel Cancer come from the National Cancer Intelligence Network's Cancer Commissioning Toolkit.
It captures data from more than 150 Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) caring for hundreds of thousands of NHS patients.
Mark Flannagan, chief executive of Beating Bowel Cancer, said: "It's unacceptable that there are CCGs in England that diagnose less than one in three patients at an early stage.
"If they all performed as well as the best, thousands of lives could be saved and millions of pounds could be freed up to be used for other bowel cancer treatments, which patients are frequently told are unaffordable.
"This will require further improvements in screening, renewed efforts to raise awareness of signs and symptoms, and investment to support improvements in GP performance in investigating and referring patients appropriately."
In the UK, about 41,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year and about 16,000 die of the disease.
Nick Ormiston-Smith of Cancer Research UK said: " There are a number of reasons why cancer may be diagnosed at an advanced stage - for some cancers, symptoms are often only noticeable once the tumour has already started to spread. But for many others there...

Summary: Thousands of people in England are dying from bowel cancer because their disease is not being spotted early enough, a charity has warned.

Article: Melanie Harris, 44, emptied the bank account of 65-year-old Ted Carter, who had cerebral palsy, and used it for shopping trips and family presents.
Harris, from Barnstaple, had denied one count of fraud but was jailed for two-and-a-half years for the thefts which took place between 2011 and 2013.
The Recorder said she had abused "a highly vulnerable housebound man".
Harris was responsible for looking after Mr Carter and his wife who used a wheelchair, at their bungalow in Wikley Close, Barnstaple, as a team leader with the private care provider, Cygnet Care.
Police described her house in Fremington as "looking like a show home", after Harris used the couple's debit card on a series of shopping trips, Exeter Crown Court heard last year.
Harris, who hid Mr Carter's bank statements to cover up the thefts, was caught after another carer noticed Mr Carter's money had been used for a baby shower.
Recorder Philip Mott said: "He trusted you with his card, PIN and passbook and trusted you as a co-signatory. As a result, you had complete control over his accounts."
The recorder said Harris was motivated by "family expenses", and cited the probation report which spoke of her "greed and a desire to fund a lavish lifestyle".
