| Suggest headlines for one of the four shorter pieces of news and for one of the four longer ones. Make sure your headlines conform to the rules for headlines featured in the Unit.
1.
A school bus carrying 18 students, near the village of Trockau in the federal state of Bavaria, crashed after trying to avoid an animal on Wednesday. As a result of the accident, 12 children and the driver were injured, according to The Bild newspaper.
2.
France, Portugal and Spain struck a deal on Tuesday to take in migrants from the Mediterranean rescue ship ‘Aquarius,’ which is sailing off the coast of Malta, the Portuguese Interior Ministry said. The Italian government earlier refused to let the vessel dock. Portugal said it had agreed to take 10 of the 58 migrants on board as part of a “response of solidarity to the flow of migrants seeking to reach Europe across the Mediterranean”. Malta said migrants would be transferred to a patrol boat in international waters and taken to the island, which will then send them to four other EU states.
3.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday that officials were laying the groundwork for the next summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Reuters reports. However, any meeting would likely occur after October, according to Pompeo. “We’re working diligently to make sure we get the conditions right so that we can accomplish as much as possible during the summit. But we hope it will be soon,” Pompeo told ‘CBS This Morning’ program.
4.
Riyadh has rejected accusations by Tehran that Saudi Arabia was behind a deadly attack on a military parade in the southwest Iranian city of Ahvaz, as “false,” AP said, citing state media reports. “The kingdom completely rejects the deplorable false accusations by Iranian officials regarding the kingdom’s support for the incidents that occurred in Iran,” an unnamed Foreign Ministry official was quoted by the Saudi Press Agency as saying on Tuesday.
I.
The rock band Coldplay has announced it will not be going on tour to promote its latest album because of the environmental damage touring might cause. It is a standard business practice in the music industry for well-known artists to go on a world tour to accompany a new album release. Concert tours are often huge money-spinners and can generate more profits than actual music sales. Coldplay has decided any concert tour would have a detrimental impact on the environment. Lead singer Chris Martin told the BBC news agency that: “We’re taking time to see how our tour can be actively beneficial.” He added that the band wanted any future tours to “have a positive impact” on the environment.
II.
The advent of the Internet has brought with it the convenience of shopping at our leisure in the comfort of our own homes. However, for many, the allure of shopping for bargains and treats can turn into an addiction. Experts believe there is a danger that online shopping can develop into a mental illness. Researchers from the Hannover Medical School in Germany have termed it “Buying Shopping Disorder” (BSD). The researchers say this condition should be recognized by the medical profession as an illness and should not simply be classed as one of various “impulse control” disorders. Psychotherapist Dr Astrid Müller said: “It really is time to...accumulate further knowledge about BSD on the Internet.”
III.
Scientists say that global warming isn’t the only serious threat to humans. Another major threat is the falling numbers of insects and the extinction of many species. Scientists say that half of all insects worldwide have been declining since the 1970s. A new warning is that over 40 per cent of insect species could die out in our lifetime. Researchers said the number of insects is decreasing by 2.5 per cent every year. The scientists are calling it an “insect apocalypse”. Many species of butterflies, bees and other bugs are now extinct. In the U.K. researchers say 23 bee and wasp species have gone extinct in the past century. Scientists say the apocalypse could trigger, “a catastrophic collapse of Earth’s ecosystems”.
IV.
The technology company Microsoft has said it successfully trialled a four-day working week in Japan, which saw improvements in workers’ productivity and job satisfaction. The trial took place over the summer at the tech giant’s headquarters in Tokyo. Employees were given every Friday off as paid leave in August. The company monitored the effects a threeday weekend would have on workers’ performance. Company executives said the shorter working week resulted in additional benefits. Productivity rose by 40 per cent and 92 per cent of employees expressed their satisfaction with the scheme. The trial could lead to a change in Japan’s infamous workplace practices of long hours and lots of overtime.
