Noisy or messy eaters, alongside moaning, were among the top complaints of 1,000 office workers asked to name their biggest workplace irritations.
The survey, commissioned by electronics giant Samsung, suggests distractions caused by colleagues led to workers losing 22 minutes each day on average.
However, workers said issues with technology were their biggest problem.
An overwhelming majority (92%) said crashing computers and slow internet annoyed them and resulted in them losing almost half an hour of working time a day on average.
The other issue bothering office workers was the temperature - with 82% saying being too hot or too cold was their biggest frustration.
In total, irritations involving colleagues, IT problems and workplace issues resulted in workers wasting five-and-a-half hours a week, Samsung suggests.
The biggest risk to businesses is that such annoyances could push people into quitting.
Almost a third of those surveyed said they had left a job because of an irritating colleague, 20% because of the workplace itself and 10% because of technology frustrations.
The survey by consultancy Censuswide questioned 1,000 workers from small UK firms with under 250 employees.
University of Manchester professor Sir Cary Cooper, who specialises in workplace issues, said addressing the issue could help improve productivity:
"This is a big issue for the UK as it currently sits 7th in the G7 and 17th in the G20 on productivity per person, showing that these distractions could be causing a big impact."
Technology: crashing computers, slow internet, no access to emails
Colleagues: moaning, eating loudly or messily, interruptions while talking
Workplace: being too hot or too cold, uncomfortable seats, messy workplace

Hull, 19, had a share of the lead going into the final round but struggled with two bogeys to finish on 14 under par.
It left her four shots behind the winner, South Korea's Kim Hyo-joo, who had a superb seven-under final round of 66 for a two-shot victory.
She finished ahead of compatriot Kim Sei-young, Sweden's Anna Nordqvist and American Stacey Lewis.
It is her third career LPGA title after wins in the 2014 Evian Championship and last year's LPGA Founders Cup.

Homosexual acts are already illegal in The Gambia, but MPs passed a bill on 25 August imposing life sentences for "aggravated homosexuality".
The bill promoted "state-sponsored homophobia", the rights groups said.
Mr Jammeh is known for his strong opposition to gay rights. He has called gay people "vermin" and once threatened to behead them.
Uganda's Constitutional Court struck down a similar law last month on the grounds that it was passed by MPs without a quorum.
Its ruling followed an outcry from rights groups and Western governments - US President Barack Obama described the legislation as "odious".
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch (HRW) said the definition of "aggravated homosexuality" was vague in The Gambian bill.
Among those who could be given the life sentence were "repeat offenders" and people living with HIV who are suspected to be gay or lesbians, they said in a joint statement.
A person who had homosexual relations with a minor could also be convicted of "aggravated homosexuality", Reuters news agency reports.
"President Jammeh should not approve this profoundly damaging act that violates international human rights law," said Stephen Cockburn, Amnesty's deputy regional director for West and Central Africa.
Graeme Reid of HRW said it would "only heap further stigma on people who are already marginalised and living in a climate of deep fear and hate in Gambia".
Under current laws, homosexual acts are already punishable by up to 14 years in prison in The Gambia.
Mr Jammeh has 30 days from the date the bill was passed to sign it into law or return it to parliament for further review.
The Gambia is a popular tourist destination, famous for its beaches.

Leading rights groups have called on Gambian President Yahya Jammeh not to approve tough new anti-gay legislation.

The primate travelled in a Pishgam rocket, which reached an altitude of some 120km (75 miles) for a sub-orbital flight before "returning its shipment intact", the defence ministry said.
Iranian state TV showed images of the monkey, which was strapped into a harness, being taken to the rocket.
Western nations have expressed concern that Iran's space programme is being used to develop long-range missiles.
Such missiles could potentially be used to carry nuclear warheads.
Iran denies it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons and insists its nuclear programme is solely for peaceful purposes.
Satellite technology expert Pat Norris told the BBC that Iran's claim to have sent a monkey into space was not a major advance on what its space programme had already achieved.
The achievement was similar to launching a missile at 4,828km/h (3,000mph) and having its warhead survive the flight - something Iran had done in several tests in recent years, he noted.
However, the survival of the monkey, without incurring any injuries, would demonstrate that the acceleration and deceleration of the rocket were not too severe, Mr Norris added.
In 2010, Iran successfully sent a rat, turtle and worms into space. But an attempt to send a monkey up in a rocket failed in 2011.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced in 2010 that the country planned to send a man into space by 2019.
A domestically-made satellite was sent into orbit for the first time in 2009.

The agreement is the result of "internal political discussions", but uncertainty remains regarding which devolution deal the borough may join.
Councillors are split over whether to join the Liverpool City Region or a new Cheshire devolution deal.
Council leader Terry O'Neill said he would "continue conversations" with neighbouring authorities.
Labour-controlled Warrington Borough Council submitted a joint devolution bid to the government with Cheshire East Council and Cheshire West & Chester Council in August 2015.
However, in June 2016 councillors on the ruling Labour group in Warrington voted to reject the deal, which would have seen an elected mayor for the county.
The BBC understands some wanted the council to consider joining the Liverpool City Region instead.
A cross-party group of councillors tasked with deciding a way forward is due to present recommendations in December.
One Labour member of the taskforce, Morgan Tarr, claimed "the majority" of the group believed that the "best option available" to was to continue negotiations with the Liverpool City Region.
Helen Jones, Labour MP for Warrington North, previously argued the Cheshire devolution plans were a Conservative "stitch-up", because a mayor in the county was "very likely" to be a Conservative.
Mr O'Neill said: "We are now in agreement that the model of devolved powers from Whitehall, together with an elected mayor, is the most appropriate arrangement for our borough.
"We will continue our conversations with other local authorities and government to ensure we have the best set of benefits to support the long term future of the borough and the best outcomes for our residents and businesses."

Warrington councillors have agreed to accept an elected mayor as part of a future devolution deal.

Sophie Sotello, 46, quit her job as an office manager 15 years ago to educate her children.
She was convicted last year for failing to comply with a school attendance order for her youngest son, Gabriel.
The case was bought by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea but Ms Sotello appealed the conviction and won her case at the Old Bailey.
All three of her children, including her 20-year-old son and 17-year-old daughter, were home-schooled but this case was about the education of her youngest.
Judge Richard Hone QC led the appeal panel and dismissed the original City of London Magistrates' Court conviction.
He directed that school attendance should stop.
Outside court, Ms Sotello said: "I knew right was on my side. My kids learned to quote Churchill - 'If you're going through hell, keep going'."
But the borough's lawyer, Sue Obeney, told the court the legal affair would not have been necessary had matters been addressed 18 months ago.
Ms Sotello had refused to "engage" with officers and made threats, such as saying her company would charge £5,000 for her to attend a meeting, said Ms Obeney.
Ms Sotello said she "had nothing against" the schools in Chelsea, but said: "It's simply that school is not the right fit for every child."
She said she had a "co-parenting agreement" with her husband, who works as a deputy director at Sotheby's, as they go through a divorce.
The former manager said she had also taken her oldest son, now 20, who she described as musically "gifted", out of school after he was "smacked on the wrist every time he touched the piano".

Curtis, 61, is in charge until the end of the campaign after Swansea failed to find a long-term successor to Garry Monk.
Swansea are a point above the drop zone and Curtis says he would not have a problem stepping down.
"I've got no sort of vanity (that I must) be here until the end of the season," he said.
"I'd expect to be here until the end of the season, but if results go against us and the club deem it that they need to bring someone in at short notice, then so be it.
"We've worked hard to get into the Premier League. It's important we stay here not just for next season but for seasons to come as well."
Curtis was appointed until the end of the season after picking up five points from five games as caretaker following Monk's sacking on 9 December.
But Swansea have since been knocked out of the FA Cup and were beaten 4-2 at home by relegation rivals Sunderland on Wednesday.
The former Wales striker does not think the Sunderland defeat will have a long term impact on Swansea's bid to stay in the Premier League.
"There was a bit of anger, if anything, after the result on Wednesday," Curtis added.
"I would hope they would want to right the wrongs, they felt a couple of decisions went against us.
They are a strong group and you look to the leaders of the group like Ashley Williams. Leon Britton and Neil Taylor.
"They're the type of people who will come forward for us."

Alan Curtis says he would be willing to step aside if Swansea City found a new manager before the end of the season.

The allegations, in Essex, against Pienaar, 30, were proven in his absence after he failed to attend Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Monday.
He was caught speeding twice, 11 days apart, on Lambourne Road, Chigwell.
A judge ordered Pienaar be given unconditional bail for sentencing in Chelmsford next month.
The player's lawyer said his client had "responded immediately" to news of the warrant and made a "pre-arranged visit" to a police station in Cheshire.
Gwynn Lewis said Pienaar was "totally unaware" of the court date, after he moved to Merseyside in February.
He said the correspondence from the court had been sent to his old address in Essex.
Pienaar, whose address was given in court as Theydon Road, Epping, was charged with failing to disclose who was driving his Aston Martin DBS, which was captured exceeding the limit, on two separate days in October last year.
The South Africa international joined his former club Everton, on loan from Tottenham, in January.

The equipment, which is used to administer electric shocks to cardiac arrest patients, has been set up in the remote village of Wield.
The red phone boxes, costing £1 each, have been sited in Upper and Lower Wield, where the combined population is about 250.
Each defibrillator can be accessed by dialling 999 for a key code.
The phone boxes were reconditioned by villager Terry Frost.
The installation and equipment was paid for with a £2,500 grant from rural charity Fieldfare and £2,000 raised by young people in the village.
Tom Geddes, a fourth-year medical student at Bristol University, and his brothers organised the fundraising.
He said: "Having lived all our lives in the village, it was nice to do something for the village."
Parish council chairman Brian Collins said: "The Community Heartbeat Trust gave us advice and guidance on how to install the apparatus and we bought them through the trust.
"Howard Farley from the Hampshire paramedic service gave us a demonstration of how to use them - and it's really easy and safe, you don't need any medical expertise.
"If someone has what looks like a heart attack, you get them to the box, lift up the phone and follow instructions."

The Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has said the move was due of the UK's decision to leave the EU.
But Theresa Villiers said that the US Special Envoy Gary Hart had blamed the decision of the trip's leading figure leaving the US government.
She said the visit would now go ahead next year.
The "low-key" event had been organised for Belfast and Londonderry in October.
Sources say the conference would have involved between 20 to 25 people, including potential investors.
Before last month's referendum President Barack Obama warned that the UK would go to the "back of the queue" for trade deals with the US if it voted to leave the European Union.

Despite never jumping a steeplechase fence in public, the champion long distance hurdler is already favourite for the sport's top prize.
Trained by Colin Tizzard and ridden by jockey Tom Scudamore, the eight-year-old put in a near-foot perfect round of jumping at Chepstow.
He beat Aqalim by four lengths over the 18 obstacles.
BBC Sport's horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght:
"It was more nervous anticipation than excitement as Thistlecrack arrived to jump his first steeplechase fence in public.
"But, taking advantage of the experience gained while jumping 150 times over obstacles placed in the indoor arena at Tizzard HQ in Dorset, he looked like an old pro and was pretty much foot perfect, though at the fourth last he had to show cleverness to, as they say, 'put himself right'.
"It was a brilliant, thrilling front-running display that keeps hopes about this horse in the future soaring."

But Guzman can appeal any decision to extradite him and his lawyers say they will "fight until the end".
He faces multiple charges in the US, including drug trafficking and murder.
The leader of the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel is being held in a maximum security prison in Ciudad Juarez, near the US border.
He was arrested in January after six months on the run following his escape through a tunnel in his jail cell.
He had already escaped a maximum security facility once before, spending 13 years at large.
Renato Sales Heredia, Mexico's national security commissioner, said in a TV interview that the government hoped to extradite the cartel boss "in January or February".
But lawyer Jose Refugio Rodriguez said there were too many appeals pending for the extradition to happen so quickly.
"That's not enough time," Mr Rodriguez said, adding that the only way to send Guzman to the US by early next year would be "to take him out [of jail] by force".
Mexico agreed to transfer Guzman in May after the US guaranteed he would not face the death penalty.
A judge began reviewing the case last month, but it is unclear when a ruling will be announced.

Mexico expects to extradite drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman to the United States by February, the country's top security official says.

Knockaert's father Patrick died aged 63 last Thursday and the former Leicester player missed Albion's trip to Bristol City in the Championship on Saturday.
Midfielder Steve Sidwell dedicated his goal in the 2-0 win to the Frenchman.

South Yorkshire Police officers filled up with the incorrect fuel on nine occasions and Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust staff 19 times.
The ambulance service said devices to prevent mistakes had been fitted in 2013, cutting errors by 66%.
The police force is looking at ways to cut the "unnecessary expense".
Details of the repair bills were uncovered by the Sheffield Star under the Freedom of Information Act.
Ambulance bosses spent £3,605 repairing 19 vehicles from its 900-strong fleet between April 2010 and March 2014.
A spokeswoman said "fuel angels" had been fitted to vehicles to stop the wrong nozzle being inserted.
"As a result, the number of instances of an incorrect fuel type being used reduced by 66%, to only two occurrences in the 2013/14 financial year," she said.
South Yorkshire Police, which has a fleet of more than 750 vehicles, spent £4,506 during the same period.
Sarah Gilding, head of fleet management, said that while nine vehicles being affected was a "very small number in proportion to the size of our fleet", the force was looking at ways to "prevent incorrect fuelling of police vehicles".
South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said it had no record of any vehicles being damaged by being wrongly fuelled.
Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: "Damage caused by refuelling mistakes is a waste of taxpayers' cash and it also means fewer patrol cars are available when they are being fixed.
"Simple measures, such as reminders on fuel caps, should ensure officers do not make this simple but expensive error.
"Perhaps making repeat offenders responsible for the costs would see more care being taken."

Police officers and ambulance staff have run up an £8,111 repair bill by filling emergency vehicles with the wrong fuel in the past four years.

Vienna has changed the signal images at 120 pedestrian crossings - also showing heterosexual couples - in preparation for the Eurovision Song Contest.
Officials said the signals were a sign of Vienna's open-mindedness.
Toni Mahdalik of the right-wing Freedom Party of Austria called the initiative gender politics "gone mad".
He said the money would have been better spent on reducing poverty and improving unemployment figures.
It is hoped the signals, which show couples holding hands and with love hearts above them instead of a gender-neutral figure, will also improve safety.
The unusual symbols are attracting the attention of drivers and pedestrians, a spokeswoman for Vienna's city lighting department said.
Many of the millions who watch Eurovision include a huge gay fan base and last year's winner, bearded transvestite Conchita Wurst, became a global gay icon with the song Rise like a Phoenix.
About 40 countries are taking part in the 2015 Eurovision contest. The final will be held on May 23.

The Channel Islands Co-Operative society wants to build a new food store, offices and an artists' studio on the site of its existing store.
In the process it would demolish two listed buildings and create a new five-storey building.
Planning officers have recommended rejecting the current proposals.
Colin Macleod, head of the Co-Op in Jersey, said it was "utterly unbelievable" that the planning department was unhappy with proposals for the new St Helier store.
He said he had spent £250,000 on plans for the site after positive early meetings with the department.
The development has been described as a major new gateway into the town centre.
Mr Macleod wants planning minister Deputy Rob Duhamel to reconsider after what he described as an "unexplained and unprofessional U-turn".
Andrew Scaite, from the planning department, said officials agreed in principle with redevelopment but were concerned about its size.
The minister will consider the plans at a public meeting on Friday.

A new Co-op store at Charing Cross in Jersey needs to be smaller for it to go ahead, according to the planning department.

The 41.8m-high (137ft) turbine at Upper Pengarth, near Builth Wells, was built last year following approval by Powys council.
But London's Court of Appeal said the council needs to reconsider the move.
It was found to have failed to give "special regard" to preserving the setting of the Grade II-listed Llanbedr Church.
The church is about one mile (1.5km) from the turbine, on the other side of a hill.
Although the turbine, owned by farmer Colin Bagley, could not be seen from the church, both might appear in more distant views, the court was told.
The council might have decided that that impact would be acceptable, but it "had to confront the issue" and its failure to do so was "deficient and therefore unlawful," judges ruled.
Lord Justice Lindblom urged the council to "lose no time" in reconsidering the turbine's future.

The Food Foundation said more action needs to be taken to get people eating the recommended daily intake.
The call came as it launched its Peas Please initiative on Monday.
It aims to secure commitments from the industry and government to increase vegetable consumption among the public.
It will bring together the likes of retailers, food producers, public bodies, councils, the NHS and government representatives in Wales.
Amber Wheeler, food security and sustainability consultant and PhD student at the University of South Wales, said: "We want all families to be able to eat more vegetables.
"To do this we need the whole supply chain, government and NGO's to work together to help make eating veg the easy choice.
"This is something that could radically change the health of the nation for the better at the same time as boosting the economy and providing more jobs."
Katie Palmer of Food Cardiff, part of the Sustainable Food Cities network, added: "Peas Please could be the innovation we need to increase consumer demand and influence the Welsh supply chain."
Nourish Scotland and WWF also head up the initiative, which was simultaneously launched in Cardiff, London and Glasgow.

Almost 30,000 of you chose your top three moments, from a list compiled by a panel of our tennis experts, to help us celebrate 90 years of the BBC at Wimbledon.
And the results, revealed during a Radio 5 live programme, are in.
The best moment at Wimbledon - with 64% of users placing it in their top three - is Andy Murray winning his maiden title in 2013 and ending Britain's 77-year wait for a men's champion.
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer's intense final in the dark back in 2008 came second, with Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe's epic 1980 final coming third.
Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash: "It was one of the greatest moments in tennis history - a Briton winning Wimbledon. The atmosphere was phenomenal.
"Wherever you went, there was this tension, this expectation of "can he do it?" You can't understand the pressure he had with 77 years of history on his back. It takes one hell of a tough kid to do that."
BBC commentator Barry Davies: "Andy Murray does thoroughly deserve to win. It has to be a Briton winning it. And he might now do what Fred Perry did, and win it three times."
Former British number one Sam Smith: "There are not many times when you're watching something that you want to watch, but you can't.
"During the final game I had to go in my study and pace about. If I'm feeling that, what must Judy Murray and his family been going through? It was the match you couldn't bear to watch, and yet you had to."

Coleman, 28, will miss several months after breaking his leg when playing for Republic of Ireland against Wales.
"That's one thing Seamus will want us to do, to play well and get some good results," said Jagielka
Everton - seventh in the Premier League - travel to Manchester United three days after facing Liverpool at Anfield.
"We'll all be thinking about him and, come Saturday and Tuesday, I'm sure he'll have the TV on and be cheering us on," added Jagielka, speaking to the club website.
"There'll be no incentive needed, but the circumstances over the last few days might add a bit of a motivational edge on our behalf.
"We want to go out there and play well and it will be nice if we can all get to speak to Seamus beforehand."
Coleman has undergone an operation since breaking his tibia and fibula following a tackle by Wales' Neil Taylor in Friday's World Cup qualifier.
The right-back has played 26 of Everton's 29 league games this season and Jagielka admits such leadership will be missed when the Toffees seek a first win at Anfield since 1999.
"Seamus is a massive part of the furniture," added Jagielka. "All we can do is be there for him."

Everton will use the horrific injury suffered by Seamus Coleman as added motivation for Saturday's derby against Liverpool, says captain Phil Jagielka.

The Tinkoff-Saxo sports director had to watch in frustration on stage 12 as Thomas helped Team Sky leader Chris Froome maintain his Tour advantage.
Froome is 2 minutes 52 seconds ahead of his nearest challenger and 4mins 4secs ahead of Tinkoff's Alberto Contador.
"Geraint Thomas is a phenomenon, he's a one of a kind almost," Yates said.
"Obviously Bradley Wiggins has won Olympic medals and won the Tour de France, and Geraint looks like he can follow in his footsteps in the long term."
Thomas - a team pursuit gold medallist at the Beijing and London Olympics - fulfilled his domestique duties brilliantly on the gruelling 15.8km climb up Plateau de Beille on Thursday.
The Welshman, 29, helped Froome absorb continued attacking breakaways by his rivals and still held on to his own fifth place in the general classification.
"[Team Sky] are a very strong team; they showed that the first day, they showed that in the past," added Yates, a stage winner in the 1988 Tour de France.
"We've got to keep fighting for the podium to move up one step at a time and you never know what could happen.
"It wouldn't be the first time that the leader had a really bad day and lost time, lost some team-mates... you just don't know."

Geraint Thomas can one day emulate Sir Bradley Wiggins and add the Tour de France title to his Olympic golds, says former Team Sky coach Sean Yates.

Hughes, 24, has agreed a two-year deal after rejecting an offer from the Welsh side, for whom he played 151 games.
Tafazolli, also 24, was also offered a new contract at his previous club, for whom he appeared 118 times, and signed a three-year deal at League One Posh.
Meanwhile, former Derby coach Lee Glover has been named as Grant McCann's assistant manager.
Ben Mackenzie has been appointed as head of sport science at the ABAX Stadium.
Hughes and Tafazolli are Peterborough's second and third signings under McCann, with the latter joining despite reported interest from Sheffield United.
Tafazolli told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "There was a lot of interest, but coming from a League Two side I knew the most important thing for me this season was to go to a club where the manager wants me, I've got a good chance of playing and the club will be pushing for promotion.
"It ticked all the boxes for me and it was a no-brainer. Someone used the analogy of football being like a game of snakes and ladders. You can get on a big ladder (and go up) and get on a snake and come back down again.
"It's all about stepping stones and I think this is the perfect one for me."

They will be hired for new or unfilled accident and emergency department posts at Wales' seven health boards.
A mix of the new recruits and existing staff will make up the emergency medicine teams based at the charity's bases in Swansea and Welshpool.
The doctors are to be part of crews from April 2015.
The Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service Cymru (EMRTS Cymru) will allow the doctors to provide immediate treatment for trauma injuries, strokes and heart attacks.
Operating 12-hours a day, the service will be able to reach about 95% of the Welsh population within 30 minutes.
The Welsh government has earmarked £1.89m to set it up and a further £2.86m to run it.
Deputy Health Minister Vaughan Gething said: "It is envisaged seven or eight emergency department consultants will be recruited for NHS Wales to support the initial 12-hour service, as well as complementing the number of emergency department consultants based at A&E departments around Wales.
"The service will, therefore, also act as a mechanism for attracting new consultants to Wales."
Mr Gething was responding to questions by Montgomeryshire AM Russell George.
Mr George said: "The deputy minister's confirmation that these dedicated emergency department consultants will work over and above their existing rostered hours is also welcome news to ensure that there is no shortage of senior staff in hospitals around Wales."
The Wales Air Ambulance charity will continue to fund the helicopters and pilots.

Up to eight consultant doctors are to be recruited under plans to boost the emergency treatment provided by Wales' air ambulance service.

The authorities ordered 500 government-run liquor shops to shut down and also reduced the store timings.
Ms Jayalalitha had promised in her poll manifesto to gradually ban the sale and consumption of alcohol in the state.
She has been sworn-in for the sixth time as the state's chief minister.
On Monday morning, thousands of people lined the streets with posters and flowers as she drove to Madras University, the venue of the oath-taking ceremony in the capital, Chennai (Madras).
Her AIADMK party won the assembly polls with a comfortable majority last week, defeating the rival DMK party, led by 93-year-old Muthuvel Karunanidhi.
Twenty-six ministers also took oath on Monday with Ms Jayalalitha.
Within hours of taking oath, the new chief minister approved several government orders to fulfil some of the promises she had made in her election manifesto:
A former film actress, Ms Jayalalitha has been a leading figure in south Indian politics for three decades.
She enjoys enormous popularity in Tamil Nadu, where fans know her simply as "Amma" or mother.
During a press conference last week, she had hailed her party's win as a major achievement.
"After 1984, no ruling party in the state has been able to win an election and form the government for a successive term," she said.
Her party won 134 seats, while the DMK secured 98 to become the main opposition in the assembly.

Jayaram Jayalalitha, who has been sworn in as the chief minister of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, has begun her new term by announcing curbs on alcohol sales.

Kate Howey, Britain's elite performance coach, said the team were preparing well for the World Championships in Hungary.
"Overall we have had a good tournament and have come away with nine medals, which is pretty impressive from a Grand Prix," she said.
"We now have to get back into training and finish preparation for the World Championships at the end of August."

The 19-year-old, who made 18 appearances this season in Russia's top flight, has signed a four-year deal.
"A fee has been agreed with FC Krasnodar, as have personal terms with the player," Celtic confirmed.
Eboue will become Celtic's first signing during the January transfer window with manager Brendan Rodgers keen to bolster his squad.
"We have received the necessary governing body endorsement from the Scottish FA and subject to the visa being granted, Kouassi will join Celtic on a four-year contract," Celtic added in a statement.
Eboue was recently handed his first Ivory Coast call-up but has yet to make his international debut.
Speaking last month, Rodgers said he would add to his squad in the transfer window.
"There will be [players leaving], that's a natural way when players aren't playing so much, especially if they're mid-20s and beyond," he said. "They want to play regularly. Some will come in to help the squad that's already here."

Two bodies were found in the River Savitri, but rescuers fear the others were swept downstream.
The bridge south of Mumbai links the city with Goa, a state popular with tourists.
More than 100 rescuers and divers have been searching for survivors but heavy rains have hindered their efforts.
No vehicles or survivors were spotted.
Disaster management chief O P Singh told AFP: "The flow of currents is very strong, making it difficult to launch a full-scale search operation. We are looking for vehicles and bodies over a stretch of eight kilometres (5 miles)."
Rakesh Ranjan of the National Disaster Response Force told the BBC there was no sign of the buses within a kilometre of the bridge and they may have been swept further by the current.
Devendra Fadnavis, chief minister of Maharashtra state of which Mumbai is the capital, said the collapse likely occurred from the heavy rains and flooded river which thrashed the bridge for days.
Eyewitness Navnath Mahadev Khandekar, who was working in a restaurant, told the BBC he saw people fall into the river at about 11:30 at night.
"We were switching off the lights and closing the restaurant when one of our boys called me and showed me a man drowning in the water.
"We could not do anything as we did not have ropes or anything that could help us save him."
Safety issues such as lack of inspections and the use of substandard materials have plagued construction in the country.
In March, a flyover being built in the city of Kolkata (Calcutta) collapsed, killing at least 20 people and injuring nearly 100.
And in 2011, some 32 people died and 132 were injured after a bridge collapsed at a political event in Darjeeling in West Bengal.

Dunga was comparing the pressure he faced as Brazil captain in winning the 1994 World Cup, to criticism from local media over his side's indifferent form in reaching the Copa quarter-finals.
"I think I'm an Afro-descendant because I get hit so much." he said on Friday.
But Dunga, 51, later said: "I apologise to those who could have felt offended."
In a statement on the Brazil Football Confederation website Dunga added: "The way I expressed myself does not reflect my feelings or opinions."
Dunga played 91 times for his nation and is currently in his second spell as Brazil manager. He took over from Luiz Felipe Scolari following their 7-1 humiliation on home soil against Germany in the 2014 World Cup.
He previously managed Brazil between 2006 and 2010.
Wins over Venezuela and Paraguay meant Brazil topped their Copa America group, despite a 1-0 defeat by Colombia that saw Barcelona forward Neymar banned from the tournament after being sent-off for a headbutt.
Dunga's men face Paraguay in the last eight on Saturday night and are chasing their ninth Copa America title which they last won in 2007.

Brazil coach Dunga has apologised for likening criticism directed against him at the Copa America to racist abuse suffered by people of African descent.

The joey was taken to the Manx Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Ard Jerkyll after she was found near the Curraghs last week.
The MSPCA's Jenny Corran said the joey could have fallen from her mother's pouch or been rejected at birth.
A pair of wallabies escaped a wildlife park in the 1970s - there are now 120.
The animals, native to Australia, thrive in the Curraghs, in the north of the island.
Ms Corran, who usually cares for rescued seals, said she the baby wallaby was "very fragile but coping well".
"We are feeding her with milk every three hours and she has just started nibbling grapes.
"We are using a backpack as a surrogate pouch and inside is a hot water bottle wrapped up in a towel which we change after every feed."
The joey was around three weeks old when she was brought to the centre, which is liaising with Blackpool Zoo and the Isle of Man's Curraghs Wildlife Park about her future.
She has not yet been given a name.

The marathons are intended to represent the 27 years that Mandela spent in prison, will geographically retrace the 93-year-old's life in South Africa.
"We're doing a documentary about his life, running in the areas of where he grew up," said Izzard, 50.
"Everywhere that resonates with his life, we are going to run."
The marathons, to be filmed for a documentary, will begin in the Eastern Cape, where Mandela was born and take in Pretoria, where he was on trial, and Robben Island - where he was imprisoned during the Apartheid era.
"Maybe you'll get this visceral relationship between the struggle of 27 years and the struggle of me trying to run marathons," said Izzard, who was in Johannesburg at a fundraising event for the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
All proceeds raised by the 27 marathons will be donated to the foundation and other South African charities.
'Crazy'
Izzard added that he did not expect to meet Mr Mandela during the course of the challenge
"I've already had the honour of meeting Mr Mandela... I don't want to bother him."
"If someone says to him: 'By the way, there's an idiot - you've met him before - he's doing these runs,' hopefully he might go: 'Oh, yes, running is a good idea. That is a positive thing.'
"Or he might say: 'He's crazy.'"
In 2009, the actor and comedian ran around the UK, effectively undertaking 43 marathons in 51 days, to raise money for Sport Relief.
His current challenge will be broadcast in the UK this autumn by Sky.

Comedian Eddie Izzard is to run 27 marathons in 27 consecutive days, as a tribute to the former South African president Nelson Mandela.

Will Anderson, who is from the Black Isle, is part of a team working on a project that will combine live contemporary music with animated film.
Also involved are musicians including Portishead's Adrian Utley and Dominic Aitchison from Mogwai.
Mr Anderson and fellow film-maker Ainslie Henderson won a Scottish Bafta last year.
The duo secured the award with their short film Monkey Love Experiments. It tells of a monkey that mistakenly believes that it is to be sent to the Moon.
Mr Anderson, a former pupil of Dingwall Academy and an Edinburgh College of Art graduate, said described the new project, Flit, as a "musical theatre show".
Other musicians involved include Karine Polwart and Martin Green from the band Lau.
Mr Anderson said: "We've written the story with Martin and his band are going to play this gig and we are going to make the theatre and visual side of it.
"It's quite a dark story that we are telling that's slightly set in another land and its kind of fantastical.
"We are quite excited about having something we can share that is as beautiful as their music."

Josh Matavesi's interception try set the seal on the win, but it was fly-half Biggar's control and kicking that put Ospreys in charge.
Biggar reacted positively to missing some first-half kicks to accumulate a personal match tally of 20 points.
"He was frustrated and took it upon himself to go out and give us some yards," said Ospreys captain Jones.
"You watch Dan - whether it's with Wales or the Ospreys - and when he's playing well he gets us on the front foot and that fulcrum between 9, 10 and 12 is pretty good when he's firing."
Biggar's personal contribution helped Ospreys make a winning start against the team lying second in England's Premiership.
Jones was happy with his team's win after their poor form in the early rounds of the Pro12.
Ospreys lie eighth in the table after losing five of their opening seven matches.
"People didn't expect too much from us in this first game, but it's a good start," added Jones.
"It's the home win that we needed off what we're mature enough to say is a disappointing start in the Pro12, and this was the game we needed.
"If you look at the game it probably could have gone either way and we were lucky to get a couple of decisions and get on the front foot."
Ospreys face last season's runners-up Clermont Auvergne away in the second round of matches on 22 November.
"It's massive step up," added Jones.
"We've got a quick turnaround, but hopefully we can get out there and get something.
"They've had a indifferent start but they always peak for the ERC - they've been to a couple of finals and the squad and the reputation they have got playing at home."

Alun Wyn Jones praised Dan Biggar after he inspired Ospreys to a 25-13 win over Exeter in the European Champions Cup.

Junead Ahmed Khan is accused of plotting to run over a serviceman, possibly from an US air base in East Anglia, and then kill him with a knife.
Mr Khan was also charged, along with his uncle Shazib Ahmed Khan, 22, both from Luton, over attempting to join Islamic State in Syria.
Both men were remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on 10 August.
The men appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court charged with being involved in preparation with the intention to commit acts of terrorism, dating between 1 August 2014 and 10 May 2015.
The additional count faced by Junead Khan dates between 10 May 2015 and 14 July 2015.
It is alleged Junead Khan - a delivery driver for TRG Logistics in Luton - planned to stage a car accident and then kill a US serviceman, a method of attack that has echoes of the murder of Lee Rigby two years ago.
The two men, of Marlow Avenue, were arrested a week ago in an operation involving officers from the national counter-terrorism network, and have been held at Southwark Police Station.
Another man, in his 30s, was also detained. He was released without charge on Monday night.
Searches were carried out at two addresses in the Luton area.

Osama Krayem, a 23-year-old Swedish national, was arrested in Brussels earlier this month.
The Belgian judge responsible for the Paris attacks investigation has charged him with terrorist murder and participating in a terrorist group.
He is suspected of buying the suitcases used to carry the Brussels bombs.
Osama Krayem was also caught on CCTV with metro bomber Khalid el-Bakraoui shortly before he blew himself up.
He is already facing terrorism charges in relation to the Brussels attacks.
The Belgian federal prosecutor said that Osama Krayem was picked up in Ulm in southern Germany by a hire car rented by key Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam and had travelled to Belgium.
"The investigation showed that [Krayem] could be placed in different safe houses used by the terrorist group," the prosecutor said, including a location in Schaerbeek.
Osama Krayem grew up in Malmo in south-west Sweden.
A relative said her nephew "just disappeared" and later phoned his family to say that he had left to join the so-called Islamic State.
His lawyer told reporters last week that Osama Krayem was co-operating with authorities.
In the Brussels attacks in March, three suicide bombers killed 32 people at Zaventem airport and the Maelbeek metro station.
The attacks took place just days after the arrest in Brussels of Salah Abdeslam, who had been on the run for four months.
The Paris attacks of 13 November killed 130 people.

The exhibition will offer an "unprecedented" look at the 79-year-old's six decade career.
It aims to show Hockney as an "intelligent and profound interrogator of the essence of art".
Hockney said: "It has been a pleasure to revisit works I made decades ago, including some of my earliest paintings."
He added: "We're looking back over a lifetime with this exhibition, and I hope, like me, people will enjoy seeing how the roots of my new and recent work can be seen in the developments over the years."
The exhibition will take visitors through a chronological overview of Hockney's career, from his first appearance on the public stage as a student in 1961, through to his iconic works of the 1960s and 1970s, and his recent success at the Royal Academy and beyond.
It will include his portraits of family, friends and himself, for example Self Portrait with Blue Guitar 1977, as well as his iconic images of Los Angeles swimming pools.
They will sit with more recent work, such as his celebrated Yorkshire landscapes of the 2000s, work made since his return to California in 2013, and experimental iPad drawings.
Alex Farquharson, Director, Tate Britain said: "David Hockney is without doubt one of Britain's greatest living artists.
"His practice is both consistent, in its pursuit of core concerns, while also wonderfully diverse. Hockney's impact on post-war art, and culture more generally, is inestimable, and this is a fantastic opportunity to see the full trajectory of his career to date."
The exhibition will open on 9 February until 29 May, before touring internationally to Paris and New York.

Faletau scored a hat-trick and was man of the match in Bath's 44-20 win over Gloucester on Sunday.
And Ex-Lion Williams believes the tourists could benefit from the Wales number eight's return to full fitness.
"Some people questioned him being selected which is ridiculous," he said.
Faletau did not start for Wales in the 2017 Six Nations in an injured-disrupted season.
But the former Newport Gwent Dragons back-rower has been named man-of-the-match in three matches for Bath since the end of the tournament and was outstanding against Gloucester.
"He's world class and it goes to show how well Ross Moriarty, Justin Tipuric and Sam Warburton were playing to keep him out of the Wales team," added Williams on BBC Wales' Scrum V programme.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up playing at six and Vunipola at eight and then Warburton at seven.
"I think that's something [Lions coach Warren] Gatland would look at.
"He's got all the skills Taulupe, and it's a real bonus for the Lions that he's fit and firing."
Faletau was an ever-present at number eight for Wales between the 2011 World Cup until the autumn of 2016.
A knee injury curtailed his involvement in the autumn international series when Moriarty impressed when he was drafted-in as cover.
A recurrence of the injury meant Faletau missed Wales' opening Six Nations game against Italy and he was named on the bench for the remaining four matches.
England number eight Vunipola is Faletau's cousin, and played schoolboy rugby in Gwent alongside his brother Mako - also in the Lions squad - and the Wales international.

Taulupe Faletau could line-up at blindside flanker alongside Billy Vunipola and Sam Warburton in Tests for the British and Irish Lions this summer, says Martyn Williams.

Dowsett's time of 55 minutes and 38.523 seconds was 1:16 faster than James Gullen, with Ryan Perry third.
Claire Rose was 33 seconds behind Simmonds, with Dame Sarah Storey third.
Emma Pooley, who will be in Britain's Rio 2016 road race squad ahead of Dani King, was fourth.
King is ranked above Pooley, and said that decision was "unfair" and that she should have been chosen instead.
Simmonds completed the 34.8km course around Stockton-on-Tees in 47 minutes and 33.357 seconds, with three-time winner Pooley just over a minute slower.
"It's more special second time around," the Simmonds said.
"This year, Emma was coming back and Claire was riding full time this year - she is always a big threat."

Smith, 39, beat the 16th seed from Wallasey 5-1 to set up a tie with fourth seed Scott Mitchell on Saturday.
Glen Durrant will face three-time winner Martin Adams in the last four after a 5-2 win over Darryl Fitton.
The women's final will be contested by reigning champion Lisa Ashton and 20-year-old Fallon Sherrock.
Ashton reached her third consecutive Frimley Green final with a 2-0 victory over Dutch thrower Sharon Prins and the 44-year-old from Bolton will aim to win her second world title on Saturday against Sherrock, the sixth seed from Milton Keynes.
The youngster defeated Russia's Anastasia Dobromyslova in a deciding set, avenging her loss to the three-time champion at the quarter-final stage 12 months ago.
Smith, who works at a car repair shop in New Brunswick, was the only overseas player in the last eight of the men's draw and his dreams of emulating fellow Canadian John Part, who won the title on his Lakeside debut in 1994, are still very much alive.
A 160 checkout in the deciding leg of the fourth set put Smith 3-1 up in the match and it proved a pivotal moment.
He told BT Sport: "I had a goal when I came here and that was to reach the semi-finals. I've accomplished my goal now and I've got nothing to lose."
Seventh seed Durrant from Middlesbrough raced into a 4-1 lead against Stockport's Fitton, who threatened a comeback with five successive legs, before the 44-year-old closed out victory.

They opened fire on the vehicle as it headed towards the Spanish city's harbour on Tuesday, officials said.
The detained man, reported to be a Swedish national, has a history of psychiatric problems, the Spanish interior minister said.
Barcelona's city hall said the truck had been stolen.
Police started pursuing the vehicle after the driver, who was travelling at high speeds, failed to stop when ordered to do so, regional police chief Joan Carles Molinero said.
The driver then turned to make his way along the wrong side of a ring road in the city, finally coming to a stop when the truck hit a wall at about 11:00 local time (10:00 GMT).
Around 20 officers and at least six police cars arrived quickly on site, where several gas bottles were later seen lying on the ground.
At least one gunshot was visible on the windscreen of the truck, although officials have not said whether there were any injuries following the incident.
Spanish national television TVE reported that the truck had rammed several cars before police fired several times to stop it.
Spain's interior minister Juan Ignacio Zoido said in a tweet that the incident on Tuesday was "not a case of a terrorist act".
"The detained driver of the stolen butane gas truck has a psychiatric history," Mr Zoido said.
Mireia Ruiz, who witnessed the incident, said the driver ignored others who were urging him to stop.
"When people shouted at him, he would laugh and make offensive gestures with his hand," she told AFP.
Police said that the 32-year-old driver was being questioned.

Of 402 incidents reported to the anti-discrimination body last season, 68 related to homophobic, biphobic and transphobic abuse - a rise of 4%.
Ten thousand of the booklets have been issued as part of Kick It Out's "Call Full Time On Hate" campaign.
The guidance they contain is designed to help "effectively challenge" abuse.
The booklets include information on what homophobic, biphobic and transphobic discrimination is and the role stewards and safety officers can play in reporting such behaviour.
"It is important that Kick It Out continues to raise awareness of the issues which still blight our national game," said Roisin Wood, the body's chief executive.
"These topics have long been taboos in the game, but thanks to the proactive work of campaigners we are beginning to see the football community recognise the positive impact LGB&T inclusion is having on the sport."

Stewards at football grounds across England have been given pocket guides on combating homophobic abuse as part of a Kick It Out initiative.

The two sports will receive $25,000 (£19,700) in annual funding from the International Olympic Committee.
They can apply to become part of the Olympic Games sports programme after three years.
"Cheerleading is a sport with growing popularity. It has a strong youth focus and we noted that," said IOC sports director Kit McConnell.
The international cheer union (ICU) has more than 100 national federations and nearly 4.5 million registered athletes.
Muay Thai is an organisation with 135 national federations, nearly 60 are recognised by their national Olympic committees and nearly 400,000 registered athletes.
The addition of the two would take the number of recognised Olympic sports to 37.
Tokyo, hosts of the 2020 Games, will have surfing, sport climbing and karate among the six new sports they have included.
Becoming part of the Olympic Games can take seven years, but host cities are allowed to introduce sports of their choice for a one-off appearance.
Competitive or "All-Star" cheerleading is very different to what you see at American football or basketball.
Teams are judged on gymnastic tumbles, dance, stunts, pyramids and overall impression and compete against other squads of similar ability.
It is daring, exhilarating, physically demanding and at times, the most dangerous sporting discipline for young women.

Cheerleading and the martial art of Muay Thai have received provisional recognition as Olympic sports.

The 63-year-old received the National Book Award for non-fiction for her work, which chronicles her youth in 1960s New York.
As she collected her $10,000 (£6,254) prize, Smith urged publishers not to let technology kill traditional books.
"There is nothing more beautiful than the book, the paper, the font, the cloth," she said at the New York event.
Jaimy Gordon won the fiction award for Lord of Misrule, about a horseman's scheme to rescue his failing stable.
It was a surprise win for Gordon, who has been releasing books through small publishers for the last 20 years.
She said she had not expected to win, but that friends had told her she had given them hope just by being nominated.
The poetry award was presented to Terrance Hayes for his fourth collection, Lighthead
Kathryn Erskine won the young people's literature award for Mockingbird, about an 11-year-old with Asperger's syndrome coping with her brother's death.

The 25-year-old was dropped from the Great Britain squad in April after finishing fifth in the team sprint at the World Championships.
She then said she had been the victim of sexist remarks from former technical director Shane Sutton.
"I don't think it's good for a human being," she told BBC Radio 5 live.
Varnish's initial allegations are being investigated by British Cycling, which is undertaking a wider review into "fundamental behavioural issues" in its World Class Programme.
A third inquiry has also begun into claims official British Cycling kit was available to buy online.
Varnish added: "They're an incredible, successful team but it doesn't mean there's not cracks.
"If I had a younger sister that was going into that team, I would want to protect her from that."
At the time of her demotion, Varnish said she was "shining a light" on her experiences, so "the relevant people can investigate and make changes".
She turned down the opportunity to appeal against her omission from the Rio Olympics team, saying it would be "pointless to do so".
Australian Sutton resigned in the wake of Varnish's claims in April, but the 59-year-old has denied allegations of sexism and of using derogatory language towards Para-cyclists.
Speaking to the media for the first time since going public, Varnish said: "I've not had a single sleepless night because I can put my head on that pillow and know I'm doing exactly what's right and what's fair.
"I'm just standing up for myself and a lot of other athletes who have unfortunately been in the same situation."
The findings of British Cycling's reviews are expected to be announced after the Rio Olympics.

I understand that there is no suggestion of gross misconduct, or dishonesty, or of what was described to me as "impropriety".
Clearly there are serious concerns of some sort, or Professor Purcell wouldn't have been suspended.
But this does help to clarify things, because until now there was no hint at all as to why she had been "placed on leave".
What should we make of this?
Some business leaders are concerned that if the university looks shaky at the top, the impressive investment that's been going on there could start to dry up.
On the other hand, the South West Devon MP Gary Streeter told us that he trusts the governors completely, and if there's a process to be gone through, he's happy for them to go through it.
University governors said Wendy Purcell's position was unchanged and her deputy, Professor David Coslett, would temporarily act up.
The BBC understands there has been a "serious clash of personalities".
The governors said they were not able to go into any more detail during the review, asking for the "confidentiality of the situation to be respected".
Professor Purcell, who earned more than £288,000 in 2013, was a graduate of Plymouth University in 1985 with a degree in biological science.
She was appointed vice-chancellor and chief executive of the university in December 2007.
A university statement said: "As you would expect from a world-ranked university with a strong and distinguished reputation, the executive team will ensure core business continues to be focused on the delivery of a first-class experience for our students.
"We also continue to work with partners and stakeholders for the benefit and interests of the city and wider region."

The attacker threw a hand grenade before running into the court area and detonating a bomb, police told the BBC.
Also on Friday, four suicide bombers targeted a Christian neighbourhood near Peshawar before being shot dead.
Both attacks took place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, and were claimed by Taliban faction Jamaat-ul-Ahrar.
Militants have targeted lawyers in the past, including a bomb attack in Quetta last month that killed 18 lawyers. That attack was also claimed by Jamaat-ul-Ahrar.
Ijaz Khan, deputy inspector general of police for Mardan district, told reporters three lawyers and two police officers were among the dead at the courthouse.
The suicide bomber attempted to reach the court's bar room, where several lawyers had congregated - but was shot by police before he could enter, Mr Khan said.
The president of the Mardan Bar Association, Amir Hussain, told reporters he was in a neighbouring room when the blast happened.
"There was dust everywhere, and people were crying [out] loud with pain," he said.
Lawyers have come under attack because they are "an important part of democracy, and these terrorists are opposed to democracy", he added in quotes carried by the AFP agency.
Who are the Jamaat-ul-Ahrar?
•A faction of the Pakistani Taliban that operates independently in the Mohmand tribal region and surrounding areas.
•Name translates as The Party of Freedom Fighters.
•Carried out several attacks in Pakistan's north-west, including the Peshawar Valley region.
•Major attacks include a suicide bombing that killed more than 70 people at a park during Easter celebrations.
•Soldiers, lawyers and religious minorities are among those targeted.

A suicide bomber has attacked a court in the northern Pakistani city of Mardan, killing at least 12 people and injuring more than 50, officials say.

The 10m vessel washed ashore on Sado Island, Niigata City in waters between Japan and the Korean peninsula.
All those on board were adult males, Japanese broadcaster NHK said. Police have not confirmed their nationalities but suspect the men were North Korean.
In the past a very small number of North Korean refugees have made the journey to Japan by boat.
Local fishermen found the vessel, weighing more than 4,500kg, around 09:00 local time (17:00 GMT), police say.
The fishermen told local media that they found no engines attached to the boat. The men on board were estimated to have died at least a month ago, police added.
In September last year, a boat carrying nine North Koreans arrived in Kanazawa, further to the south. The group were later resettled in South Korea.
In January 2012 another group of four North Korean fishermen found by the Japanese coastguard after developing engine trouble were repatriated at their request.
A police spokesman told AFP news agency that the Korean characters on the boat - which appeared to have been drifting for some time - were impossible to read.
"The bodies are decomposed badly," the spokesman added.

Five bodies have been found in a badly damaged boat with Korean language markings off Japan's west coast.

Marcelo Odebrecht is accused of paying millions of dollars in bribes to senior officials at the state oil company Petrobras to secure lucrative building contracts.
He denies the allegations. Mr Odebrecht is the third-generation heir of a company founded by his grandfather.
Twelve other people have been charged with corruption involving Petrobras.
Mr Odebrecht has been under preventive arrest since June.
His habit of systematically taking notes of everything he did may have turned against him, providing what investigators have considered important evidence, says the BBC's Julia Carneiro in Rio de Janeiro.
The company issued a statement on Friday complaining about the way prosecutors had handled the case.
"The allegations presented by the Prosecutor's Office do not justify the arbitrary and illegal detention of the president of the Odebrecht Group, Marcelo Odebrecht, and four of the company's executives," it said.
President Dilma Rousseff was head of Petrobras for many years - but she is not implicated in the scandal.
Her approval rating have plunged, however, since allegations emerged that senior politicians had benefitted from the corruption scheme.
The investigation began in 2013, but last year it unveiled evidence of a huge corruption scheme at the heart of Petrobras - Brazil's largest company.
The corruption probe is going beyond the oil company.
On Tuesday, police carried out arrests and search warrants to investigate a similar scheme within Brazil's state-controlled electric company Eletrobras.

He said Kennedy had launched a violent and disgraceful attack on his victim.
The court heard she sustained a serious cut to her face.
It was told that when Kennedy first appeared in court charged with the offence he was remanded in custody, but two days later he was released on High Court bail.
The following week he was arrested by police for being drunk in Newtownstewart and for carrying a knife.

Paul Pike, 23, was killed as he waited in his red van at traffic lights at the junction of Crosby Road North and South Road on 5 June 2010.
Police said a silver Audi TT, stolen in Hawarden, North Wales, then turned around and further shots were fired.
The car was found abandoned and burnt out a short time later in Fairfield, a street off Endbutt Lane.
Det Supt Neil Bickley said there have been a number of arrests in the last six years, but police are still keen to talk to any witnesses.
"The offer of the reward could be strong incentive for someone with knows who is responsible for Paul's murder, which has caused a great deal of pain and suffering to his loved ones, to do the right thing and come forward," he said.

The increase was revealed at a meeting called between government ministers and two Kent MPs following an investigation by BBC South East.
It was discovered smugglers in Paris were putting people on lorries carrying produce for supermarket chain Lidl.
After the investigation in December, Lidl said it had asked its hauliers to conduct urgent investigations.
The investigation revealed how Paris had become a hub for illegal migration to the UK.
The BBC exposed a gang offering guaranteed passage to England.
The two MPs - Craig Mackinlay for Thanet South and Charlie Elphicke for Dover - went on to ask for a private meeting with government ministers.
Both MPs have repeatedly raised concerns about illegal migration because the UK border in Kent affects their constituencies.
Mr Mackinlay said: "What the BBC did was absolutely fantastic and that was the sort of evidence that I think Border Force need because they can't be everywhere at all times."
The figures showed that in 2015, 140 smuggling operations were "disrupted".
But last year, that figure went up to 185.
It is understood the Home Office expects the figure for this year to be higher still.
But the PCS union said efforts were not succeeding.
Union spokesman Kevin Mills said: "We would argue they're not succeeding in combating illegal migration.
"We're having some success but the sad reality is we're seeing increased attempts and incursions across the borders."
The MPs said ministers at the meeting told them the Home Office was working closely with its French counterparts, a case was open on the "Paris gang" and an investigation was ongoing.

Numbers of people-smuggling operations disrupted rose by nearly a third in a year, UK Government figures have shown.

Hart, 29, joined the Serie A club in August after being told he was free to leave City by manager Pep Guardiola.
Torino head coach Sinisa Mihajlovic said last month he wanted to keep Hart but the club could not afford him.
"Thank you Torino, I am so proud to have played for your special football club," the England goalkeeper wrote on social media on Monday.
"I will come back to see you all one day so it is bye for now, enjoy an amazing summer."
He added: "The way you have treated me and my family is something that we will never forget.
"I will forever support Torino for the rest of my days. I have met so many special people and this has been one of the greatest experiences of my life."
Torino ended their season with a 5-3 victory over Sassuolo on Sunday to finish ninth in Serie A.
And president Urbano Cairo admitted earlier this month that he "didn't expect so many mistakes from Joe Hart".
Hart has said he is "surplus to requirements" at Manchester City and is expected to leave the club for good in the summer despite having two years left on his contract.
He has won 68 England caps and has been linked with various Premier League and European clubs.
But Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said last month he was not interested in signing Hart.

Trapp was hurt in the 13th minute of the champions' 2-0 Ligue 1 win when he collided with team-mate Layvin Kurzawa.
The German, 25, was replaced at half-time by Italy international Salvatore Sirigu.
Lucas Moura scored twice for PSG, who drew their first leg against City 2-2 last Wednesday.
Manager Laurent Blanc rested most of his key players, including top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, in readiness for the trip to Manchester.
PSG, who fielded their youngest starting line-up in more than 20 years, went ahead from the penalty spot early in the second half.
Lucas sent goalkeeper Jonas Lossl the wrong way after Jeremy Sorbon had fouled Christopher Nkunku.
The Brazilian winger secured victory when he controlled Kurzawa's cut-back before beating Lossl.
PSG, who secured their fourth successive title on 13 March, are 28 points clear of the two teams closest to them, Lyon and Monaco.

This will take the price of a first class stamp to 63p and a second class stamp to 54p.
Royal Mail said it had thought "carefully" about the change and its impact on customers who have been facing tough economic conditions.
The company said stamp prices in the UK were among the best value in Europe.
Other price changes will mean the cost of sending a large letter will increase by 2p to 95p for first class and by 1p to 74p for second class.
The cost of sending a second class medium parcel would drop, Royal Mail said, and a price cut for second-class small parcels that was introduced as a Christmas promotion will continue.
From 30 March, second class medium parcels weighing up to 2kg will be priced at £4.89, which Royal Mail said represented a saving of up to £3.11.
However, there has been criticism of the complexity of parcel costs.

The cost of first and second class stamps are each to rise by 1p from 30 March, Royal Mail has announced.

Harris, 22, had also been offered a deal by Nottinghamshire, while a number of other Division One clubs made their interest known to the seamer.
He had a clause allowing him to leave if Glamorgan were not in the top tier.
He confirmed on Twitter: "Very happy to announce that I've signed a contract with Middlesex."
Harris had said he needed to leave Glamorgan, who gave him his first-class debut as a 16-year-old in 2007, to further his ambitions of playing for England.
Last week, he was selected in the England Performance Programme squad to tour India in November.
Harris enhanced his growing reputation with a six-wicket haul against Australia A at Edgbaston earlier in August, watched by England selectors Geoff Miller and James Whitaker.
Injury disrupted his sixth season with Glamorgan, where he ended with 10 wickets from four Division Two County Championship games.
After making his debut as a 16-year-old, Harris became the youngest Glamorgan bowler to reach the 100 and 200-wicket milestones.
Middlesex finished third in Division One of the County Championship in 2012.

James Harris has opted to join Middlesex on a three-year contract after refusing a "substantial contract" to stay with Glamorgan.

The Algeria international scored 17 goals and provided 11 assists last season as City won the Premier League.
Mahrez, 25, was also voted as the Professional Footballers' Association player of the year.
"We are now in the Champions League and we need something more to play against the big teams," said manager Ranieri.
"Now he knows very well what I want and my expectations are higher. Not only for Riyad but for all my players."
Mahrez, who was strongly linked with Arsenal this summer, is the fifth Leicester player to sign a new deal after Wes Morgan, Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel and Andy King, while Ranieri also penned a new contract.
Leicester have reportedly rejected a £12m bid for Ghana's Jeffrey Schlupp, and Ranieri says the full-back will stay at the King Power Stadium.
The Foxes face Arsenal on Saturday and have defender Robert Huth available after serving a three-game suspension.

Stephen Hough, 58, is on trial at Mold Crown Court for the rape and murder of 15-year-old Janet Commins in Flint.
Consultant forensic pathologist Dr Brian Rodgers said he thought Janet died "of the effects of restraint".
The late Dr Reuben Woodcock, who conducted the post mortem examination in 1976, concluded she suffocated, probably while being sexually attacked.
He said internal pinpoint haemorrhages were due to asphyxia and a lack of severe injuries to her body suggested she had not struggled violently.
Consultant forensic Home Office pathologist Dr Rodgers agreed with Dr Woodcock's conclusion that Janet's body had probably been dragged to the location where it was found.
But he said he could not agree that internal petechial haemorrhages - tiny spots of blood - meant she was definitely asphyxiated.
He said these were also found when people were suffocated and if a person had been strangled, he would have expected to see similar haemorrhages on their face.
"I don't know whether they were there and not noticed or whether they were not there," he said.
Asked his opinion on the cause of death, he replied: "I think it's a combination of things. I think this girl has essentially died of the effects of restraint.
"In situations of high physical stress... if you are in a face-down position... it compromises your breathing."
Cross-examined by Patrick Harrington QC for the defence, Dr Rodgers agreed the evidence suggested Janet probably died quickly.
Mr Hough also denies sexual assault and manslaughter and the trial continues.

Birmingham doctor Ali Mao-Aweys is in front of a Medical Practitioners Tribunal panel, accused of facilitating FGM both in the UK and abroad.
The charges relate to a telephone call and meetings in April 2012, in which he was said to offer to aid the practice.
Dr Mao-Aweys was arrested in May 2012 on suspicion of arranging an operation, but was not prosecuted.
If the panel finds him guilty of the charges, he faces being struck off the medical register.
The hearing is due to last two-and-a-half weeks.

Almost 60 First Nations designers and models have joined forces for the four-day event, which opened on 26 July.
Many of those on the catwalk are current or former foster children.
The event's organiser, former model Joleen Mitton, said she hoped it would give young indigenous people "a sense of their own culture".
Ms Mitton, 33, has been working with First Nations children in foster care for almost a decade. It was their interest in her fashion past that inspired her to launch the show.
"You wear who you are, and if you're wearing something from your territory, it brings you a sense of self-awareness," CBC quoted her as saying.
"It helps them know who they are, so they don't fall through the cracks of society.
"I'm hoping these girls walk away with a sense of pride in themselves, and in their culture."
Indigenous symbols are frequently borrowed by high-fashion labels - and not always sensitively.
In 2012, underwear brand Victoria's Secret apologised for sending supermodel Karlie Kloss down the runway in high-heeled moccasins and a feathered headdress - an item sacred to plains people.
Ms Mitton hopes the VIFW will send a message that people who appreciate indigenous style can get the look respectfully, by buying from First Nations designers.
"This is totally reclaiming what is ours," she said. "[The event] is activism in itself."

The Twin Otter aircraft, owned by the Indonesian domestic airline Aviastar, lost contact soon after taking off from the Masamba airport, officials said.
The plane was heading to the provincial capital Makassar with three crew and seven passengers including two babies.
Indonesia has a patchy aviation safety record.
There have been three major air disasters in the past year, including the loss of an AirAsia plane in the Java Sea last December that killed all 192 people on board.
Transportation Ministry spokesman Julius Barata told BBC Indonesia that the Aviastar plane lost contact with air traffic control about seven minutes after take off.
A rescue team has been sent to search for the plane.
In July, a military transport plane crashed in a residential area of Medan, Sumatra, claiming 140 lives. A month later, a plane carrying 54 people on board came down in the remote West Papua region.

The Northern Ireland Environment Agency was alerted to the incident in Claudy on Monday.
Its investigation continued on Tuesday when dead fish were found.
The Department of Agriculture and the Environment has said the fish kill stretches over several kilometres of river.
The cause of the pollution is still being investigated and it is believed it was in a tributary of the River Faughan, an important salmon river.
Wallace Kennedy, an inspector for the Loughs Agency, said there not been a fish kill in the area "to this scale in a long number of years".
He added that "virtually everything that would live in the river" has been killed.
"It's not a total kill in that there are still live fish in the area, but a large number have been killed," he said.
"We do not know for sure what has caused this, whether it's chemical or organic.
"The pollution has moved down the river and it's now a case of trying to locate the source."
Lucan Newland, who lives near the river and fishes in it regularly, said the kill was "alarming".
"The river is the heart and soul of this area and this is going to hit the community hard," he said.
"Salmon fry have been killed in their thousands, brown trout, sea trout and eels have all been eliminated.
"Whatever it is that's been introduced to the river, it's had no mercy.
"The river is dead - it's very shocking."

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has suspended Czech-registered Van Air's permission to fly in the UK following an incident on the Isle of Man during Storm Doris on 23 February.
The Wales north-south air link began in 2007 and receives around £1m of Welsh Government subsidy every year.
Danish operator North Flying Airport Service will now operate the service.
The CAA said passengers can still book flights as normal.
A CAA spokesman said the incident last Thursday is being investigated by the Czech civil aviation authorities, which regulates Van Air.
"The safety of the travelling public is always our number one priority and we remain in contact with the relevant parties," he said.
This is the second time an operator of the Wales north-south air link has been grounded for safety reasons.
In 2015, the CAA revoked the air operators licence of Links Air.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "Van Air has sub-contracted Danish operator North Flying for the short-term operation of the route, allowing the service to continue to run as normal.
"The CAA is aware of this arrangement and has raised no issues with the Welsh Government."

The teenager was pronounced dead by the side of a railway line in Wrenthorpe, near Wakefield, West Yorkshire, on Saturday.
A 16-year-old boy and a woman aged 18 were also taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries at 18:40 BST.
British Transport Police (BTP) said the death was not thought to be suspicious.
A spokesman said all three were from the local area.
"At this stage it would appear that the two boys and the female were on the railway line and the 15-year-old boy had climbed on to a freight train at the location," he said.
The Office of Rail Regulation has been informed of the death and a file will be prepared for the coroner, he added.

Only Michael Bank's romantic gesture hit the rocks after he became stuck on his way down and had to be rescued.
The drama unfolded on the 600ft (180m) high Morro Rock off California's Central Coast.
The good news, his girlfriend said yes. The bad news, he now faces a hefty bill for his rescue.
A helicopter had to be called to help bring the 27-year-old back down to earth.
Police said he was later arrested on suspicion of possessing methamphetamine. Witnesses told reporters he was acting erratically.
"He couldn't go any direction, on a sheer ledge, with his feet dangling 80ft (25m) off the ground," Morro Bay fire Capt Todd Gailey said.
Climbing on Morro Rock is officially banned, though some people ignore the warnings. There have been several fatal falls over the years.

The 32ft-high exhibit - made of bags, bottles and other single-use items - is part of a campaign to encourage people to use less plastic.
It follows independent research by Sky Ocean Rescue which found 87% of Britons are concerned by UK plastic usage.
Sandy Luk, of the Marine Conservation Society, said it highlighted "huge issues" facing British seas.
More than 65% of the 2,000 people questioned as part of the Sky Ocean Rescue-commissioned research said they were willing to see a 5p charge, similar to that made for plastic bags applied to other single-use plastics, such as straws, bottles and cups.
The whale, unveiled by former Olympic rower James Cracknell, was in Cardiff Bay until 15:00 BST on Sunday.

The double Olympic gold medallist could use the event as part of his Rio Olympics build-up.
Organising committee member Matt Newman hopes Farah will feel a sense of duty to race in the Welsh capital.
"At the moment we're definitely not talking about financial inducements," said Newman.
"What we're talking about I guess are emotional and practical inducements to make sure the event does fit into his agenda in an Olympic year.
"It's for him really to an extent to give something back to the public of the UK as well."
Farah broke the two-mile indoor world record on Saturday at the Birmingham Grand Prix.
International Amateur Athletics Federation secretary Essar Gabriel has said the London 2012 star was pondering using the event as part of his build up for Rio de Janeiro.
Gabriel toured the route around the Welsh capital with the event hosts and has given it his seal of approval.
The race takes place in 26 March, 2016 and organisers are hoping 25,000 runners will take part.

Organisers of the 2016 World Half Marathon Championships in Cardiff say there will be no financial incentive for Mo Farah to compete.

An Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development analysis examined the long-term impact of parental support on literacy.
Discounting social differences, the study found children with early support remained ahead in reading.
It found a strong link between teenage reading skills and early parental help.
The OECD analysis, based on teenagers in 14 developed countries, found that active parental involvement at the beginning of school was a significant trigger for developing children's reading skills that would carry through until they were teenagers.
On average, teenagers whose parents had helped with reading at the beginning of school were six months ahead in reading levels at the age of 15.
The report says that parents did not have to be particularly well-educated themselves for this impact to be achieved.
What was important was that parents read books regularly with their children - such as several times a week - and that they talked about what they were reading together.
This parental involvement overrode other social disadvantages and in some countries could represent more than a year's advantage in reading levels at the age of 15 compared with children whose parents rarely read books with them.
The study, which draws on data from the international Programme for International Student Assessment tests, also found a link between teenagers' reading skills and continued engagement with their parents.
Everyday family get-togethers, where parents and children talk, could influence school performance, says the research.
"Eating main meals together around the table and spending time just talking with one's children are also associated with significantly better student reading performance in school," says the OECD report.

Children whose parents frequently read with them in their first year of school are still showing the benefit when they are 15, says an international study.

It blamed Friday's raid, in which 208 people died, on the Murle community from neighbouring South Sudan.
The government said the army had killed 60 of those who carried out the attack.
The Murle have previously been accused of carrying out cattle raids and stealing children to raise as their own.
A mother whose husband was killed and three of her children abducted by the attackers told the BBC that she has no hope of seeing her children again.
"I don't know if they were killed during the crossfire," Chol Malual said. "The fighting was intense and if they survived, they will be probably be killed by the Murles."
Meanwhile, additional medical personnel have been sent from the capital Addis Ababa to help treat dozens of people who were injured during the attack.
"We have treated 82 patients," a medic in the Gambella region told the BBC, "most suffering from bullet wounds to the chest, abdomen or head.
"We feel insecure here and would like the government to deploy security guards in the more dangerous areas."
Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said in an address to the nation on Sunday that Ethiopia was seeking permission to cross the border for a joint military operation with South Sudan.
Mr Hailemariam said neither South Sudan's army nor rebel forces were involved in Friday's attack.
The prime minister added that "primitive and destructive forces kill people here at various times by moving from place to place".
The targets of the raid were members of the Nuer ethnic group who live in both South Sudan and Ethiopia, the AFP news agency reports.

Measuring over a metre long, this whopper of a footprint is estimated to date back around 70 million years.
Scientists from Okayama University of Science say it will give them "new clues about these huge giant creatures that roamed the earth millions of years ago."
There have been other discoveries of this size in the past but this particular one is very well preserved with three clear claw marks.
TITANOSAUR FACTS
A joint expedition made this most recent discovery in August, where it was found in a layer of rock formed between 70 million and 90 million years ago.
Experts reckon the Titanosaur species could be the largest land animal ever to be discovered.
Although no full skeleton has ever been found in the Gobi desert, in 2014 one was discovered in Argentina with a replica now on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

Teesside Coroner's service was the worst in Britain last year, according to official figures, but plans are afoot to merge it with Hartlepool, one of the best performing.
Supporters said it would save about £230,000 a year while offering an improved service for families.
The business case for the move will be presented in Middlesbrough next week.
According to a business case detailing the merger, inquests took an average of 50 weeks to be completed in Teesside last year with the backlog peaking at 404 cases, the worst in the country, while the average was 11 weeks in Hartlepool.
The report said the service had improved since the April retirement of Teesside senior coroner Michael Sheffield, with the backlog now down to about 50 cases and expected to be cleared by December, and inquests taking an average of 14 weeks to be completed.
Middlesbrough Deputy mayor Dave Budd, who will present the report to Middlesbrough Council's executive, said: "There is now a clear case for a merger to ensure modernisation and improvement continues."
The merger is supported by Hartlepool and Middlesbrough councils, Cleveland Police, Cleveland Fire Brigade and the two current senior coroners for the area.
Savings would be made through reduced costs on the administration of inquests, the report said, as well as an easier process for working with other organisations such as Cleveland Police.
Last year the two coroner areas dealt with a combined 2,975 cases, way below the chief coroner's guidance of one area dealing with no more than 5,000 inquests.
After being presented to Middlesbrough Council's executive on 12 August, the business case will be sent to the Lord Chancellor who is expected to make a decision by December.

Dutch club Utrecht claim they are owed a sell-on fee following his £1.5m move to Swansea in 2011.
The Swans maintain Vorm's move to Spurs in 2014 was a free transfer and they have acted correctly.
Utrecht have already had their case dismissed by world football's governing body Fifa.
When Vorm joined Tottenham, Wales defender Ben Davies also joined Spurs in a £10m swap involving midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson - a deal Swansea say was separate to Vorm's transfer.
Swans chairman Huw Jenkins appeared in court in Switzerland while Eredivisie club Utrecht were represented by director Wilco van Schaik.
The outcome of the hearing in Lausanne is not expected until next month.

That is according to statistics released by the UCAS.
In 2016-17, 4,060 students from Northern Ireland were accepted into English universities - a rise from 3,430 in 2014-14.
Overall, 5,380 Northern Ireland students were accepted by universities elsewhere in the UK this year.
That is a rise of 17% since 2013-14.
According to additional figures released by the Department for the Economy (DfE), fewer than a third of those who graduate elsewhere in the UK return to Northern Ireland to work.
In 2014/15, according to DfE figures, only 31.5% of Northern Ireland students returned home to work after graduation.
According to UCAS, there has been a 1% increase across the UK in the number of young people accepted to university this year, compared to 2015-16.
While Queen's University and Ulster University have a cap in the number of students they can admit, the student numbers cap for English universities was lifted in 2015.
As a result, there has been increased competition to attract students in England.
However, tuition fees are higher at English universities at £9,000 per year, compared to £3,925 in Northern Ireland.
