Cycling's governing body has condemned E3 Harelbeke organisers for a controversial billboard poster that promotes this year's race in Belgium.

Article: Fast forward again to 2014 and the characters have been revived for the big screen by DreamWorks in Mr Peabody and Sherman. This time, in the hands of The Lion King director Rob Minkoff.
Modern Family star Ty Burrell provides the voice of Peabody - a talking dog, business titan, inventor, scientist, Nobel laureate, gourmand, and two-time Olympic medallist.
The cast also included the voices of Burrell's on-screen Modern Family daughter Ariel Winter, Stanley Tucci and comedy stars Stephen Colbert, Leslie Mann and Mel Brooks.
"It was important to us from the beginning to be as authentic as possible to capture the spirit of the original but for a new audience," says director Minkoff.
It was originally created by US television-animation legend Jay Ward, who also came up with characters like George of the Jungle and Dudley Do-Right.
Each short segment saw Peabody and Sherman use his WABAC (or Wayback) machine to travel through time to visit historical figures such as Napoleon, Lord Nelson and Leonardo Da Vinci.
"I think Rob and DreamWorks have done a very good job in being very respectful to the original series," says Burrell. "We've been working with Jay Ward's estate and his daughter Tiffany and they gave us the thumbs up after seeing it which was a big relief."
Burrell, 46, is best known to TV audiences as the well meaning but clumsy "cool, dad" Phil Dunphy in the hit US series Modern Family - a role for which he has won one Emmy and been nominated for three more.
"I had done some TV voice work and I've done some commercial voice work but this is my first feature film and I tried to enter into it with my ears and eyes opening in terms of learning," he explains.
"I wanted to be respectful of Bill Scott who was the original voice and pay homage to him but also it's important that I create my own voice.
"The first voice was essentially me imitating Bill which is completely unsustainable because he is in such a higher register than me, I have a very deep voice, so that was ill-advised and then slowly it worked back...

Summary: Travel back in time 55 years to 1959 and the first series of the American animated show Rocky and his Friends, later to be called The Rocky & Bullwinkle show, and it included a short segment called Peabody's Improbable History, starring a super-intelligent dog and his pet boy Sherman travelling through time.

Article: Last Saturday's incident, when dormitories were burned down at a boarding school in western Kenya, was one of many this year.
But it caught people's attention as it appeared to be the result of anger that students were not allowed to watch a live broadcast of a Euro 2016 football match.
Many thought that there must be a more profound reason.
This week alone, there have been four other school fires, and media reports say there have been at least 16 fire incidents in schools in western Kenya this year, mostly around Kisii.
Kenyans have been debating the issue on social media and radio talk shows.
Some suggest that this is a matter of indiscipline, caused by poor parenting, and that caning should be reintroduced.
Kenya banned corporal punishment in 2001.
The experts and politicians are also looking into the issue and offering their own solutions.
Kenya's Standard newspaper reports that education officials have identified several reasons behind the school unrest.
These include:
There was also the suggestion that some teachers may have been involved in the planning of the attacks.
Kenya's Education Minister Fred Matiang'i joined the chorus of people blaming parents for the indiscipline.
He said they should take responsibility for "instilling the right values" and prevent students from taking antisocial behaviour into schools.
On a visit to the school affected on Saturday, Mr Matiang'i said the parents of those behind the arson should pay for the damage.
Deputy President William Ruto proposed his own solutions, calling for student mentoring and more prayers in schools.
Meanwhile, some local education officials have blamed politicians for not being good role models.
John Mugo, head of education charity Twaweza, believes the problem lies with poorly prepared teachers.
He told the BBC that indiscipline was the result of the absence of guidance to teachers on how to manage students' behaviour.
"The government banned caning in schools and has failed to introduce alternative ways of dealing with indiscipline," he...

Summary: School arson attacks carried out by students appear to have become a trend in Kenya, leaving people to speculate about the causes, although no-one seems to agree.

Article: Over the years, 20,462 members of BHS staff from shop workers to executives paid into the BHS final-salary pension scheme. They will now receive less in retirement than they might have expected.
The scheme, which has a black hole, or deficit, of Â£571m, is now in the hands of the Pension Protection Fund (PPF) - a lifeboat organisation that steps in when companies go bust.
The BHS scheme is only one of thousands of final-salary pension schemes connected to companies across the UK - schemes which guarantee to pay a retirement income based on a percentage of your final salary every year for the rest of your life.
Latest figures from the PPF show that UK final-salary pension schemes have a collective deficit of Â£302bn. There are 4,891 schemes in deficit compared with 1,054 in surplus.
Some of these schemes are struggling, so should pensioners and employees be worried?
There is little doubt that some are struggling.
Schemes are facing "challenging times", says Joe Dabrowski, from the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) - the trade body for pension schemes.
Calum Cooper, of pensions consultancy Hymans Robertson, paints a bleak picture.
"There are between 600 and 1,000 final-salary pension schemes at risk of not being able to pay the pensions of their members during their retirement. This is a very significant number and puts over a million pensions and jobs at risk," he says.
There are two major causes of the black hole in final-salary pension schemes, experts agree.
The first is relatively simple - people are living for longer. That makes pensions more expensive for companies because they are paying pensioners for longer.
The second major problem is the uncertain economic outlook. Pension schemes rely on the contributions from employees being successfully invested.
There has been a long period of low interest rates and volatile markets making it difficult to make money from investing.
Mr Cooper says that final-salary schemes pumped in Â£30bn in the last year to try to make up for poor returns, but it...

Summary: The travails of BHS and its pension scheme have thrown a spotlight onto the health of final-salary pensions.

Article: Justine Greening told MPs on Wednesday that she was ditching plans to allow academy chains to operate without any parent governors.
She said academy chains should not think they did not need them.
But the E-Act chain says it has no plans to return to parent governors.
Speaking to the Education Select Committee, Ms Greening announced she was abandoning her predecessor's plan, which would have allowed academy trusts to operate without any parent governors, either in individual schools or on the board of trustees.
"I don't think we should be saying that MATs [multi-academy trusts] don't need to have parent governors," she said.
"I think parent governors play a vital role. I was a governor, I'm not any more, but I was a governor for 15 years, maybe more, and parents played a vital role on the governing body."
She told MPs she would not proceed with allowing trusts to have no parent governors, saying that "parents are part of how success gets delivered".
Head teachers' leader Russell Hobby backed the education secretary's decision to drop the plan to remove parent governors, saying "common sense has prevailed".ã€€
The plan to allow trusts to remove all parent governors is part of the White Paper on academies, published before the latest plans for another change of direction in the Green Paper on grammar schools.
But under existing academy rules, chains are not required to have parent governors in individual schools.
E-Act, which operates 23 schools across England, has already scrapped all its parent governors in schools.
These were replaced by parent "ambassadors" who do not have the powers of scrutiny held by governors.
They have a role "celebrating the academy's achievements" rather than holding the school to account.
E-Act had itself faced questions over standards, when in 2014 the academy chain lost control of 10 of its schools after Ofsted inspectors raised serious concerns about their performance.
The levels of scrutiny of academy chains has remained controversial.
Ofsted chief Sir Michael Wilshaw has called...

Summary: An academy chain which has already scrapped all its parent governors, says it has no intention of reinstating them, despite the education secretary saying schools should have them.

Article: He told MPs this lack of detail would not affect Brexit negotiations as he could not foresee a situation in which all EU nationals were told to leave.
Ministers say they cannot guarantee EU nationals living in the UK the right to stay without reciprocal assurances.
But Labour's Chuka Umunna said this stance was now just a "pretence".
Prime Minister Theresa May has said she would expect to guarantee all EU citizens currently living in the UK the right to remain after the UK leaves the EU but this will depend on other EU countries offering similar assurances to British citizens living there.
Campaigners say this means the two million EU citizens estimated to be living in the UK have been effectively "left in limbo" and they must not be used as "bargaining chips" in Brexit discussions over issues such as free movement and access to the single market.
Giving evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee for the first time since he was appointed in July, Mr Goodwill said EU nationals made a major contribution to the UK economy and society - in areas such as the health service and agriculture - and he could not envisage a circumstance in which they were told to go home.
Pressed by Mr Umunna, he said the government did not have the means of tracking down all EU nationals were it deemed necessary to remove them.
"No we are not in a position and I could not foresee a circumstance where we would want to be in that position," he said.
"I can't see a situation in which we would even think of that."
Citizens of other EU countries living in the UK who are not working do not necessarily have national insurance numbers, resulting in gaps in the official records.
Mr Umunna said the disclosure that the UK government "did not have a clue" about the number or identity of EU nationals undermined the government's whole public position and ministers should stop "carrying on with the pretence" that they had the ability to ask all EU nationals to leave.
"If you can't identify all the EU nationals in our country and be in a position...

Summary: There is no reliable data to identify EU nationals in the UK or the length of their stay in the country, immigration minister Robert Goodwill has said.

Article: The International Cycling Union (UCI) said it was "extremely unhappy" with the poster which shows a hand moving towards a girl's backside.
"We have reminded the organiser of its responsibility," said a UCI statement.
The poster mimics the antics of 2014 winner Peter Sagan who pinched a podium girl at the 2013 Tour of Flanders.
Although the UCI press release states that organisers have agreed to remove the poster, which also carries the tagline, 'Who squeezes them in Harelbeke?', it is still being used to promote the event on social media.
In 2014 UCI president Brian Cookson described a cycling team's kit as "unacceptable by any standards" after it appeared to make the female riders look naked.
Photos of the Colombian team's outfit for the Giro della Toscana in Italy showed what seemed to be a skin-coloured fabric around their waist and hips and caused controversy on social media.
The E3 Harelbeke, which is on 27 March this year, starts and finishes in Harelbeke and covers 210kms of the Flanders region.
The race is part of the UCI World Tour and is regarded as a preparation for the  seven Spring Classics which include the Tour of Flanders..

Summary:


Scotland's two busiest airports have recorded their best January on record, following a marked increase in demand for international travel.

Article: Carwyn Jones was referring to proposals in the Conservative manifesto that net migration should be reduced to less than 100,000 a year.
He warned a cap could result in fewer doctors and nurses being recruited in Wales.
But UKIP said caps were designed to prevent oversupply not undersupply.
Speaking on BBC Wales's Sunday Supplement programme, Mr Jones said: "Now, if we introduce a cap and that cap means we can't recruit the doctors we need in Wales, then surely that doesn't make any sense at all."
In the past Mr Jones has criticised Labour's UK leader, Jeremy Corbyn, for not taking a tough enough stance on immigration.
Mr Jones said he favours a system which would allow migrants to come to the UK if they have a job, or to give them three months to look for work.
But he said he did not see how having a cap on the numbers could work.
"What kind of cap are we looking at?" he asked.
"Are we looking at a cap where there's a certain number of people for every sector? My suspicion then would be that what a Tory government would do was to look after the city of London and forget about everybody else."
The Liberal Democrats said the Conservatives' plan to bring immigration down to the tens of thousands was "a perfect example of chasing headlines".
"In Wales, we have benefited enormously from the free movement of people across the EU, and Theresa May's plans to end freedom of movement will be bad news for our NHS, our businesses, and tourism in Wales," a spokesman added.
"We must have a fair and sensible approach to immigration, but scapegoating immigrants and fuelling division in our communities will do nothing to address people's concerns."
But a UKIP spokesman accused Mr Jones of "constructing a straw position to attack".
"Sector caps are not arbitrary numbers; they are designed to prevent oversupply based on estimates for a given period, not create an undersupply," they said.
"Further, these limits can be used to stimulate domestic skill creation and help lower the skills shortfall going forward."
Other parties have...

Article: In a unanimous ruling, the court ruled three appointments made by Barack Obama during 2012 were illegal, as the Congress was technically in session.
The White House had argued the Senate was holding three-day sham sessions during a holiday break specifically to block appointments.
Recess appointments can last no more than two years.
Many appointees - including two Supreme Court justices and a Federal Reserve chairman - have won confirmation from the Senate after their initial appointments.
The court case, known as Noel Canning v National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), was filed by a Washington state bottling company that argued an NLRB decision against it was not valid because the board members were among those appointed in the 2012 holiday break.
Thursday's decision could invalidate some of the NLRB decisions made since those appointments.
The ruling also effectively means political opponents in the Senate have the ability to block the confirmation of judges and the leaders of independent agencies like the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Presidents of both parties have used the recess power to circumvent lawmakers who refuse to vote on potential nominees.
A separate federal law gives the president the power to appoint acting heads of Cabinet-level departments to keep the government running.

Summary: The US Supreme Court has ruled on how the president can make appointments while Congress is in recess.

Article: In England, surveys measuring typical drinking habits account for only around 60% of alcohol sold, the medical journal BMC Medicine report said.
Report author Dr Mark Bellis said this was because many studies do not include drinking on special occasions.
More than 6,000 people in England were interviewed for the study.
Accounting for special occasion drinking added more than 120 million UK units of alcohol - equivalent to about 12 million bottles of wine - to the population's alcohol consumption in England every week, it found.
The results could have important implications for public health, researchers said.
"Nationally, we underestimate how much we drink - and as individuals we can turn a blind eye to our heavier drinking periods when we calculate personal consumption," said lead scientist Dr Bellis, from Liverpool John Moores University.
"For many people, though, these sessions add substantial amounts of alcohol to their annual consumption and inevitably increase their risks of developing alcohol-related ill health."
The equivalent of more than three-quarters of a bottle of wine (or about three pints of beer) per drinker every week goes unaccounted for, he said.
The survey measured a medium glass of 12.5% ABV wine as 2.2 UK units, and a 440ml can of 4.5% ABV beer as 2 UK units, but the amount of alcohol units in drinks varies depending on their size and strength. The NHS has a guide to calculating alcohol units.
Researchers conducted telephone interviews with 6,085 randomly-selected members of the public aged 16 and over in England.
Participants were asked about normal drinking patterns and those outside their usual circumstances, such as summer holidays, bank holidays, and weddings.
Most categories of drinkers, based on age groups and levels of typical consumption, reported increased consumption during holidays or special occasions.
The biggest increase was seen in 25 to 35-year-olds, who had the highest level of typical consumption.
People in this drinking category drank an extra 18 units (144g) of...

Summary: The amount of alcohol people in England drink has been underestimated by the equivalent of 12 million bottles of wine a week, according to new research.

Article: Changes include the treatment of research and development and pensions.
The ONS has calculated that the changes mean GDP for 2009 will be revised up by 4.6%, or £65bn.
The changes will apply retrospectively, but 2009 is the most recent year that has had its figures updated so far.
How the changes to the absolute level of GDP will affect the figures for GDP growth, which is the most closely-watched figure on the UK economy, will be announced on 30 June.
Most of these changes have been made by statistical bodies across the world to help make their data comparable.
Of the £65bn increase to GDP for 2009, £22bn comes from the decision that spending on research and development should be treated as an investment by companies, not just as normal spending.
A contribution of £23.6bn comes from changes to the way the ONS treats non-profit institutions that provide services to households. These include organisations such as charities and religious institutions, which often provide their services for free, but the cost of providing the services is still included in the national accounts.
Another £3.5bn comes from the reclassification of government spending on "military weapons of destruction and the equipment needed to deliver them", which also now count as a capital investment.
There will be £9.7bn added due to the inclusion of illegal drugs and prostitution, as discussed in a previous article on calculating the sex and drugs economy.
The level of GDP will be raised £5.1bn by new treatment of defined benefit pension schemes (the ones where you know how much money you will end up receiving), which will also have the effect of doubling the country's savings ratio.
There will also be small effects from removing the minimum price at which buying small tools can be considered to be an investment, as well as changes to assumptions about how much will have to be spent decommissioning oil, gas and nuclear infrastructure.
The ONS will reveal more details of all of the changes to the calculation of GDP, leading up to the...

Article: It adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting health benefits from the most popular hot drinks.
Those who drank more than six cups of tea a day cut their risk of heart disease by a third, the study of 40,000 people found.
Consuming between two to four coffees a day was also linked to a reduced risk.
While the protective effect ceased with more than four cups of coffee a day, even those who drank this much were no more likely to die of any cause, including stroke and cancer, than those who abstained.
The Dutch tend to drink coffee with a small amount of milk and black tea without. There have been conflicting reports as to whether milk substantially affects the polyphenols - believed to be the most beneficial substance in tea.
Coffee has properties which could in theory simultaneously increase and reduce risk - potentially raising cholesterol while battling the inflammatory damage associated with heart disease.
But the study in the Journal of the American Heart Association finds those who drank between two and four cups a day lowered the risk of the disease by 20%.
"It's basically a good news story for those who like tea and coffee. These drinks appear to offer benefits for the heart without raising the risk of dying from anything else," said Professor Yvonne van der Schouw, the lead researcher.
Ellen Mason, Senior Cardiac Nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: "This study adds further weight to the evidence that drinking tea and coffee in moderation is not harmful for most people, and may even lower your risk of developing, or dying, from heart disease.
"However, it's worth remembering that leading a healthy overall lifestyle is the thing that really matters when it comes to keeping your heart in top condition.
"Having a cigarette with your coffee could completely cancel any benefits, while drinking lots of tea in front of the TV for hours on end without exercising is unlikely to offer your heart much protection at all."

Summary: Drinking several cups of tea or coffee a day appears to protect against heart disease, a 13-year-long study from the Netherlands has found.

Article: Edinburgh Airport said more than 781,000 passengers passed through its doors last month, a year-on-year increase of 11.7%.
Glasgow saw its traffic rise by 8.4% to nearly 600,000.
Meanwhile, Aberdeen International Airport reported its lowest decline in passenger numbers for almost two years.
Edinburgh said most of its growth last month came from international flights, which were up by 11.6% on the same period last year.
Airport chief executive Gordon Dewar: "After a record-breaking 2016, it is fantastic that we start 2017 with strong figures.
"We are now seeing the impact of launching 27 international services in 2016. "
At Glasgow Airport, international passenger numbers grew by 16.1% as a result of strong demand on routes to Toronto, New York and Dubai.
EU-scheduled traffic was up 21.4%, following a rise in capacity on some winter sun services and city breaks.
Domestic traffic grew year-on-year by 2%, with increased uptake reported on routes provided by British Airways, Easyjet and Flybe.
Glasgow Airport managing director Amanda McMillan said: "Last year was our busiest on record, so it's pleasing to see this momentum has continued into 2017 with our best-ever January passenger numbers."
Meanwhile, Aberdeen International Airport recorded its lowest decline in passenger numbers for almost two years in January.
A total of 207,100 passengers travelled through the airport during the month, 1.7% fewer than a year ago.
Domestic traffic rose by 0.6%, while international traffic fell by 2.5%.
Helicopter traffic was down 7%, which the airport attributed to "inclement weather conditions in overseas locations" and the temporary recall of Sikorsky S92 helicopters early in the month.
Airport managing director Carol Benzie said: "It's hugely encouraging that last month we saw our lowest decline in passenger numbers since March 2015, which is a fantastic start to the year.
"I'm delighted that our domestic traffic increased and I'm confident that the overall figures would have been even healthier had our helicopter traffic...

A portrait of a well-known Cheltenham grocer which was painted onto his shop door in the 1960s could be restored.

Article: You only find out if what you've ordered actually fits you once it's arrived - and if it doesn't, there's the hassle of packing it back up and returning it. It's a bigger problem than you may think.
"Almost one in four garments are being returned - 70% of those returns are because the customer's got the wrong size," says Heikki Haldre, chief executive and founder of London-based Fits.me.
Companies like his are using technology to reduce these high return rates.
Fits.me has developed a virtual fitting room that works in conjunction with a retailer's online store.  Shoppers enter some basic measurements and a virtual mannequin adjusts to fit their dimensions.
The user can then dress the mannequin with different sizes, allowing them to see how different garments will fit before making their purchase.
More than 30 retailers have already signed up to the service, including Superdry, Hugo Boss and Thomas Pink.
Being more confident about getting clothes that fit also means shoppers buy more, says Mr Haldre.
"It removes the risk when buying online. And when this risk is taken away, the sales for the retailers increase. Fits.me virtual fitting room users buy almost two times more than non-users."
E-sizing technology has entered the world of high-end, bespoke menswear, too. Carlos Solorio, co-founder of American firm Arden Reed, wanted to change the way men were measured for clothes.
"Tailoring hasn't really changed in the last 200 years," he says. "And so we came up with The Tailor Truck."
His customised van is equipped with the latest 3D scanning technology and travels around the US.  Using 14 Kinect sensors, the scanner takes more than 3.5 million body point measurements.  These are sent to a production facility in Asia and the customer receives their tailor-made suit in four to six weeks.
"Customers get a custom suit with a price ranging from $500-1,500 (Â£300-900), which is lower than your typical custom suit," says Mr Solorio.
"We saw a problem in the market," he says. "Custom suiting was really limited towards...

Article: It added that a panel of independent experts was now investigating exactly how much was known and by whom.
When Yahoo first disclosed the theft of millions of its users' details in September, it only made mention of a "recent investigation".
At the time, Verizon - which is buying part of Yahoo - said it had only been told of the breach the same week.
In its latest filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Yahoo acknowledged that the telecoms firm might now reconsider the $4.8bn (Â£3.9bn) takeover of its internet operations.
"As a result of facts relating to the security incident [Verizon] may seek to terminate the stock purchase agreement or renegotiate the terms of the sale," it said.
There had already been speculation that Yahoo had been aware of a problem for some time.
In September, the Wall Street Journal reported that the tech firm had detected a cyber-breach in the autumn of 2014 that it believed had been launched from computers in Russia. However, the paper said that its unnamed source did not know whether the two attacks were connected.
In its filing, Yahoo indicates that it only discovered information from at least 500 million accounts - including names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth and unencrypted security questions and answers - had been stolen after it had looked into another unsubstantiated claim.
It said that it subsequently "intensified an ongoing broader review" that caused it to re-examine "access to the company's network by a state-sponsored actor", which it had identified in late 2014.
It added that evidence had since come to light that suggested the hacker had created cookies that let them bypass the need to enter passwords to access users' accounts.
And it revealed that law enforcement officers had been given data by a hacker who claimed it had come from Yahoo's users accounts. The firm said it would now help analyse the shared data.
"It was a good day to bury the news," commented Dr Joss Wright from the University of Oxford's Internet Institute,...

Article: The modelling assessment says that Antarctic melting alone could contribute more than a metre to sea level by the end of this century.
By 2500, according to the study, the same source could cause levels across the world to rise by 13m.
The authors say that rapid cuts in carbon emissions could limit this risk.
In 2013, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted that, without any restrictions on carbon emissions, the seas around the world likely rise by up to 98cm by 2100.
However, the IPCC estimates contained a minimum contribution from Antarctica.
Other analyses since then have projected bigger increases, with a recent study suggesting that the oceans were rising faster than at any time in the past 2,800 years and by 2100 they could be up to 1.31m higher.
The exact level of Antarctica's impact on these projections has been vigorously debated. Late last year, a research paper suggested that projections of a contribution of a metre or more were not plausible.
But this new study argues that by 2100 the world could see 1.14m of sea-level rise from Antarctica alone.
The scientists say that their model is able to provide a more accurate prediction because it incorporates the impacts of some physical processes for the first time.
While other models have focussed on the impact of warmer waters melting the ice shelves from below, this new study also includes the effect of surface melt-water and rain trickling down from above and fracturing supporting ice, hastening its slide to the sea.
The model also calculates the impact of the disintegration of floating ice shelves. If this happens, it will  reveal walls of ice so tall that they cannot support their own weight.
The scientists involved expect that these extra factors will kick in over the coming decades, as warming from the atmosphere (not just from warmer waters below) becomes the dominant driver of ice loss.
"One reason that other models didn't include the atmospheric warming is because it hasn't started to happen just yet," said co-author Dr...

Summary: Global sea levels could rise by more than double the current best estimate, according to a new analysis of climate change in Antarctica.

Article: It says the move is designed to make it easier for people to see and control what data is being gathered about them.
Users are still limited to the same choice of settings, but the company says they should find it more "intuitive" to make changes.
One expert said it was a positive development, but suggested some of the language used in the hub's explanatory text represented "spin".
The revamp comes at a time when US tech companied are facing increased scrutiny about how they handle EU citizens' data, which is often stored outside the country in which it is created.
The new hub is called My Account, and it sub-divides the settings into three sections, whose content is presented in what a spokeswoman described as "plain speak":
Google had already offered a "security check-up" tool, but it now adds a second privacy-themed one.
This walks the user through many of the choices contained in the "personal info and privacy" section, providing background information about them.
For example, a user can tell YouTube to stop recording their search history, but they are told that if they let it continue it will make "future searches faster and improve your video recommendations".
The company suggests the whole process should only take about two and a half minutes to complete, and adds that it intends to prompt regular use of the facility via its home page.
"When you trust your personal information with us, you should expect powerful controls that keep it safe and private as well as useful answers to your questions," wrote Google executive Guemmy Kim on the company's blog.
"Today's launches are just the latest in our ongoing efforts to protect you and your information on Google."
He added that links to some sections of the hub would now appear at the top of relevant search results, and that Google had created an FAQ of commonly asked questions about its privacy policies.

Article: Isle of Portland Aldridge Community Academy (IPACA) is an independent trust, co-sponsored by the Aldridge Foundation and Dorset County Council.
From January it will join Aldridge Education - a multi-academy trust.
More than 700 parents have signed an online petition against the plans. Aldridge Education said IPACA governors had voted to join the trust.
Former vice chairman of the IPACA board of governors Matt Longshaw said he did not believe London-based Aldridge Education had "the best interest of the school at heart".
"Bringing in the multi-academy trust will mean that local governors will go, so local control, local understanding of the problems and the issues will disappear."
He said a London-based board would be appointed to make decisions about the running of the school.
Aldridge Education said all of its schools retained their individual community identities and IPACA would have its own Local governing Committee, which would include parents and staff representatives.
A spokeswoman said: "The multi-academy trust structure enables us to have more local people on the Local Governing Committee as the requirements for the governing body to have people with certain specific skills to address financial and legal issues is reduced."
Chairman John Tizard confirmed he had also resigned, saying he "explained the reasons to colleagues".
Dorset County Council's cabinet member for learning and skills, Councillor Deborah Croney, said: "We want the best possible outcomes for all children at state-funded schools in Dorset.

Article: Allan Whittern ran the grocer's store in Suffolk Parade from 1932 until his death 50 years later, in 1982.
Following its closure in 1991, the door painted with his father's likeness was donated by his son to the Wilson Art Gallery and Museum in the town.
The Cheltenham Trust, which runs the gallery, wants to restore it for an exhibition later in the year.
His daughter-in-law, Thelma Whittern, said it was painted with Mr Whittern's portrait after he refused a request by a Whitbread representative to place an advert on the warehouse door.

She said since it disappeared, people have asked after its whereabouts.

Summary:


A misconduct hearing has been told there was "no evidence" two midwives knew a woman was ill days before the birth of her son who later died.

Article: HIE, along with other enterprise and skills agencies, has been the subject of a review.
The process sparked a political row with opposition parties concerned HIE's board could lose its independence or be wound up altogether.
HIE supports businesses in the islands, Highlands, Argyll and Moray.
It began as the Highlands and Islands Development Board 50 years ago, becoming HIE in 1990.
The first phase of the Enterprise and Skills Review was published in October last year and recommended that a new national board co-ordinate the activities of HIE, Scottish Enterprise and other bodies.
In January, MSPs voted to demand the Scottish government allow HIE to retain its own board.
In his response, Mr Brown said HIE would "continue to be locally based, managed and directed" under his plans.
A report was recently published on the scope, structures and functions for a new board.
Prof Lorne Crerar's publication recommended HIE and the others retain their independent boards.
A new national strategic board would oversee the organisations' activities, it was suggested.
Ahead of Mr Brown's statement in the Scottish Parliament, former Labour MSP Maureen Macmillan has present a petition to Holyrood's public petitions committee.
The petition asks for the Scottish government "to reverse its decision to move power from the region to a centralised body".
Ahead of the statement, Mr Brown said the proposals were part of a wide-ranging programme to improve services for businesses and individuals.
He said: "It is essential that we do not lose sight of our aim of enhancing our enterprise and skills services to boost Scotland's economy, which will help to deliver our ambition of ranking among the top quartile of OECD countries in terms of productivity, equality, wellbeing and sustainability.
"In order to achieve this, our agencies must align behind a common purpose and be driven by strong leadership.
"Far from diminishing the role of agencies, the review will strengthen their capability and grow their capacity to jointly step-up the...

Summary: Economy Secretary Keith Brown is expected to make a statement on the future of the board of Highlands and Islands Enterprise later on Thursday.

Article: Type-2 diabetes is closely linked to diet and obesity and affects about 3.2 million people across the UK.
The NHS says diabetes causes 22,000 early deaths and costs the health service more than Â£8bn each year.
But health experts believe more than a quarter of people can reduce the risk of developing the condition.
Diabetes arises when the body loses the ability to use or make insulin, a hormone that helps regulate the amount of sugar in blood.
Public Health England (PHE) says its latest analysis shows about five million adults in England are now pre-diabetic, also known as non-diabetic hyperglycaemia.
That means they are at risk of developing type-2 diabetes.
Public Health England says its calculations have produced the most accurate and robust estimate so far.
Last year, research published in the British Medical Journal suggested a much higher figure - one third of all adults in England - and the charity Diabetes UK quotes a UK-wide figure of about 18 million people at risk of developing diabetes.
But these calculations used a broader definition of pre-diabetes than that used in this latest analysis.
Some doctors have questioned the value of the pre-diabetic diagnosis, arguing that only a small number - perhaps one in 10 - will go on to develop diabetes.
But the NHS is preparing to roll out a diet, weight loss and exercise programme that has been shown to reduce the diabetes risk for a quarter of those who take it up.
PHE chief executive Duncan Selbie said people needed support if they were to combat the risk posed by type-2 diabetes.
"We know how to lower the risk of developing type-2 diabetes: lose weight, exercise and eat healthily, but it's hard to do it alone," he said.
"PHE's evidence review shows that supporting people along the way will help them protect their health, and that's what our prevention programme will do."
Diabetes UK chief executive  Barbara Young said it was important to warn people about a condition that could have devastating complications such as blindness, amputations and early...

Summary: Up to five million people in England are at risk of developing type-2 diabetes, according to new data from Public Health England.

Article: Keith Livingston, 54, was also fined Â£150 for two offences under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday.
The conditions of the Asbo prevent him from entering land with a dog or with other people with a dog for 18 months.
Livingston was arrested near Pathhead, Midlothian in October 2014.
PC Jamie Hood, of Police Scotland, said: "Hare coursing is a crime that has no consideration for wildlife or the impact on people who legitimately make a living from the land.
"People involved in this activity can also be involved in other criminal activity.
"This sentence should serve as a serious deterrent to anyone involved in hare coursing in Scotland."

Summary: A man caught hare coursing in East and Midlothian has received the first Anti Social Behaviour Order (Asbo) for the crime in Scotland.

Article: BBC Wales meteorologist Derek Brockway is employed by the Met Office but the BBC confirmed on Monday that no changes are planned to its weather coverage.
The Met Office has provided the data used by the BBC since 1922.
The BBC said it was required to secure the best value for money and will tender the contract to competition.
The Met Office said it was disappointed by the decision.
A replacement is expected to take over next year.
Steve Noyes, Met Office operations and customer services director, said: "Nobody knows Britain's weather better and, during our long relationship with the BBC, we've revolutionised weather communication to make it an integral part of British daily life.
"This is disappointing news but we will be working to make sure that vital Met Office advice continues to be a part of BBC output."
A BBC spokesman said: "Our viewers get the highest standard of weather service and that won't change.
"We are legally required to go through an open tender process and take forward the strongest bids to make sure we secure both the best possible service and value for money for the licence fee payer.
"Our graphics are already supplied by another provider and our long-standing relationship with the Met Office will continue as we intend to still broadcast their severe weather warnings."

Summary: There are no plans to change the line-up of weather presenters at BBC Wales despite the Met Office losing its contract with the corporation.

Article: The singer's lawyers have sent a cease-and-desist letter, saying the use of the song "gives a false impression" he endorses Mr Trump's presidential bid.
The politician has been playing the power ballad all summer, even air-drumming to it at a rally in Las Vegas.
Tyler, who is a registered Republican, says it is not a "personal" issue but one of permission and copyright.
BBC Entertainment Live: News updates
It is the third time a musician has confronted Trump about using their songs to promote his presidential bid.
When the businessman announced his candidacy, his campaign played Neil Young's Rockin' in the Free World - an angry response to presidency of George Bush Senior.
Young, a well-known liberal, demanded that Trump stop using the song and declared his support for Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders instead.
Trump's campaign responded that "despite Neil's differing political views, Mr Trump likes Neil very much."
He then used REM's It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine), prompting singer Michael Stipe to issue a strongly-worded statement, saying: "Do not use our music or my voice for your moronic charade of a campaign."
Conversely, Tyler is not politically opposed to the billionaire, who is the current frontrunner in the Republican race for the White House.
The singer even attended the second GOP (Grand Old Party) debate in August as Trump's guest, according to the Washington Post,  but his representatives issued a legal letter to Trump's campaign over the weekend.
"Trump for President does not have our client's permission to use Dream On or any of our client's other music in connection with the campaign because it gives the false impression that he is connected with or endorses Mr Trump's presidential bid," the cease-and-desist letter read.
"If Trump for President does not comply with our demands, our client will be forced to pursue any and all legal or equitable remedies which our client may have against you."
Trump was initially asked to stop using Dream On, which features the...

Article: Hoa Titcombe's husband James said he told Furness General Hospital staff "several times" his wife was ill.
Midwives Catherine McCullough and Gretta Dixon are accused of failing to have Mrs Titcombe assessed.
But midwife Caroline Duncan told the Nursing and Midwifery Council there was "no evidence" they knew she was ill.
Mr and Mrs Titcombe's son Joshua died of an infection in 2008, nine days after he was born.
On day two of the misconduct hearing, Ms Duncan said Ms McCullough did meet the standards expected of her.
However, she said that if the patient did tell her she was ill she should have referred her to be assessed in accordance with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) and midwifery rules.
She also told the hearing there was also no evidence that Ms Dixon was aware Mrs Titcombe had been unwell.
It is alleged Ms Dixon failed to refer Mrs Titcombe for an assessment when she was told she had been unwell, on 26 October, 2008.
Ms McCullough faces the same allegation, as well as failing to take a urine sample to test for infection.
An independent inquiry into the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust last year found 20 major failures from 2004 to 2013 at Furness General Hospital and concluded there were "lethal failures."
Eleven babies and one mother died after being cared for at the hospital during this time.
The hearing continues.

David Liu, a Chinese Frenchman, says he walks around Paris with "fear in his chest".

Article: A counter at thepiratebay.se shows a countdown to the 1 February, which is this Sunday.
The website, which provided links to pirated content, was taken offline following a raid in Sweden in December.
Police officers seized servers in Stockholm after a complaint was filed by a group called the Rights Alliance, which targets internet crime.
The police operation took place in an area in Nacka, south-east of Stockholm, with the area's cold weather used as a natural cooling system for computer servers.
The site was taken down in 2006 after another raid by police but reappeared online three days later.
The Pirate Bay is one of the internet's most-visited websites, and the film, music and software industries blame it for losses running into billions of pounds.
Internet service providers (ISPs) in the UK were ordered by the High Court to block access to the site in 2012.
In October Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Warg was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for hacking into computers and illegally downloading files.
Another co-founder, 35-year-old Peter Sunde, was arrested in Sweden last year after two years on the run and was sentenced to eight months in prison for violating copyright laws.
Meanwhile a third co-founder, Hans Fredrik Lennart Neij (known to hackers as TiAMO), was arrested while trying to cross into Thailand from Laos in November.

Article: The measures are contained in the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Bill, which will be voted on by Holyrood later.
The bill also sets out police powers to arrest, hold in custody and question suspects.
But a controversial proposal to end the need for corroboration was dropped earlier this year.
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson confirmed in September that Police Scotland was to stop the controversial practice of non-statutory stop and searches of adults and children.
It came after the Scottish government asked John Scott QC to examine the issue. His report found that ending the searches would not prevent officers carrying out their duties effectively.
In a statement to MSPs at Holyrood at the time, Mr Matheson said a new statutory code of practice, as recommended by Mr Scott, would be introduced to underpin how stop and search is used in Scotland.
The Scottish government later introduced a series of amendments to the bill based on the advisory group's recommendations.
Consultations will also be carried out on the terms of the proposed stop and search code of practice, and whether the police should have a specific statutory power to search children under the age of 18 for alcohol.
As well as stop and search, the bill also deals with the length of time police can hold a suspect for questioning without charging them.
It will allow a police officer of the rank of inspector or above to authorise a 12-hour extension to the initial 12-hour time limit - effectively allowing the police to hold a suspect in custody for up to 24 hours without charge.
The additional 12-hour extension period would be subject to a formal requirement on the police to review continued custody beyond the first six hours.
Other measures in the bill include:
The bill had initially included proposals to end the requirement for corroboration - the need for two different and independent sources of evidence - in Scottish criminal cases.
But the plans were dropped from the bill by the Scottish government in April after being heavily criticised by the...

Summary: MSPs are to approve new legislation that aims to introduce a statutory code governing the use of police stop and search powers.

Article: He called for a "multi-faceted Europe which would be neither a two-speed Europe nor an a la carte Europe".
National interests, he said in Strasbourg, risked taking precedence over the interests of the EU.
His remarks were aimed at  UK Prime Minister David Cameron, the BBC's Europe editor, Gavin Hewitt, reports.
Mr Cameron announced last month that a referendum would be held on EU membership if his Conservative Party was returned to power at the next general election,  expected in 2015.
By Gavin HewittEurope editor
Voters would be asked to choose between a renegotiated form of membership, and exiting.
Mr Hollande's Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, commented at the time: "We want the British to be able to bring all their positive characteristics to Europe... but you can't do Europe a la carte."
The French president's speech comes two days before a summit on the EU's seven-year budget, which is likely to be marked by sharp differences between the leaders.
The UK is pushing for a spending freeze while most other EU members want either to maintain or increase the proposed budget.
Setting out French priorities, Mr Hollande called for
"Yes to making cuts but no to weakening the economy," he said, rejecting "endless austerity".
Elected last year on a pro-growth platform, the Socialist president was making his first speech as France's head of state to the European Parliament.
"National interest is overtaking the European interest," he said.
"If it is true that the eurozone crisis is now largely behind us, we are far from drawing all the consequences. The threat we face now is no longer the mistrust of the markets but that of the peoples."
Mr Hollande warned that Europe was leaving the euro vulnerable to "irrational developments".
"A monetary zone must have an exchange rate policy or else it ends up subjected to an exchange rate that does not match the true state of its economy," he said.
There is growing concern within France's Socialist government that the euro is too strong, potentially undermining exporters and...

Article: The US rocket made it back to an ocean platform but landed "too hard" to survive, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted.
The capsule borne by the rocket is heading to the International Space Station (ISS), carrying groceries - including an Italian espresso maker.
By retrieving rockets and recycling them, Nasa contractor SpaceX hopes to slash the cost of space travel.
A later tweet by Mr Musk said the rocket had apparently "landed fine, but excess lateral velocity caused it to tip over post landing".
Images accompanying the tweet appeared to show the rocket toppling over on the platform.
Despite this, the company will be hugely encouraged. The experimental work is making progress.
The firm hopes a successful landing would demonstrate that normally disposable rockets can be refurbished and reused.
It could also point to new ways of bringing spacecraft back down to Earth in general.
In January, the first attempt to land the leftover rocket on the ocean platform ended in a fiery explosion when the booster again hit the platform too hard.
Another attempt, in February, was called off because of choppy waters - but the rocket did practise its manoeuvres by slowing itself to a hover over the ocean.
The Falcon 9 rocket, carrying the capsule nicknamed Dragon, launched from Cape Canaveral air force station in Florida on Tuesday afternoon.
The supply ship, carrying more than 4,000 lbs (1,800 kg) of groceries and equipment for the orbiting laboratory, is expected to reach its destination on Friday.
SpaceX was hired by US space agency Nasa to supply the ISS after the retirement of the space shuttle.

Summary: SpaceX has narrowly failed in its latest bid to retrieve a rocket booster intact, after a successful launch.

Article: The only exceptions are in London, where policing will be the responsibility of the newly elected mayor, and in Greater Manchester, where the current PCC will continue in his role until a mayor is elected in 2017.
The first PCCs were elected in November 2012. The system - which replaced police authorities - is now firmly embedded, and the consensus is it will be here for many years to come.
So how have PCCs managed to make their mark?
PCCs have brought about a sense that "the buck stops here". A named individual in each area is now responsible for policing and crime reduction and accountable for the effectiveness of law enforcement policies.
While the home secretary can be held to account for the overall direction of police reform, legislative changes and the government's strategy on counterterrorism, and chief constables take responsibility for operational decisions, it is the PCC who will stand or fall on the record of their local force in fighting crime and delivering services to communities and victims.
In March, for example, when Essex Police was criticised for failing to protect children at risk of harm, in a scathing report by the Inspectorate of Constabulary, the PCC, Nick Alston, was asked for an explanation, along with the chief constable.
The new PCC for the area (Mr Alston is not standing for re-election) will be expected to ensure improvements are put in place over the coming months and years and will rightly be in the spotlight if they are not.
Of course, before PCCs there were police authorities, comprising local councillors, magistrates and independent members.
They had similar responsibilities to commissioners.
But none of their members was directly elected on their record on policing and crime.
Responsibility for decision making was diffuse and more opaque.
And although each authority had a chairman or chairwoman, there was less incentive and need for them to engage publicly.
The fact a PCC's term of office hinges not on nods, winks and favours but on success at the ballot box means it is...

Summary: On Thursday 5 May, voters in England and Wales will choose their police and crime commissioners (PCCs) for the next four years.

Article: The 22-year-old student was assaulted and robbed by a gang of youths in a side street when he was in primary school.
It was a long time ago, but he still crosses the road if a large group of people are coming his way. After all, everyone in his family has been targeted in a similar fashion.
France's ethnic Chinese population have long suffered casual racism and been stereotyped as easy targets for crime. But they say they have now reached breaking point.
In August, 49-year-old tailor and father-of-two Zhang Chaolin died in hospital after being attacked by three teenagers. He had been walking in a quiet street in the north Paris suburb of Aubervilliers.
Zhang was reportedly kicked in the sternum and fell, striking his head on the pavement.  The aim of the attack was allegedly to steal his friend's bag.
The tailor had nothing on him except sweets and cigarettes.
In response, on 4 September, at least 15,000 ethnic Chinese turned out in Paris's Place de la Republique to give vent to their deep feelings of insecurity.
Estimated at more than 600,000 people, France has Europe's largest Chinese community. But they have not been in the country as long as more prominent migrant groups, including those from Africa.
David was born in Paris to parents who migrated from China in the early 1990s. He says he has been asked publicly if he eats dogs, and has been called a "spring roll head".
He has also been told to "go back to his own country" and "go and work with his little Chinese hands".
Such jibes might be familiar to east Asian migrants and their descendants across the West. As with British Chinese, French Chinese say that racist comments toward them are tolerated, in a way that they are not for more established migrant communities.
But in France, there is a sense that Asian migrants are targeted with particularly nasty violence.
"[These attacks] are because of the beliefs they have about us," says David, who is too fearful to use his real name.

The crew of the closure-threatened St Abbs lifeboat station in the Borders have agreed to take back their emergency pagers and respond to RNLI call outs.

Article: From 1 September any vehicle weighing more than 3.5 tonnes will need to have side guards and extra mirrors.
All roads in Greater London apart from motorways will be covered by the ban. There will be a maximum fine of £1,000 for breaching it.
It will be enforced by the police, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency and a joint TfL and DfT-funded taskforce.
The ban comes after last year's Safer Lorry Scheme public consultation.
Provisional figures show that in 2014 there were 13 cycling fatalities, five of which involved HGVs. Nine of 14 cyclist deaths in London in 2013 involved heavy good vehicles
Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "We know that a large number of cyclist deaths and serious injuries involve a relatively small number of trucks and lorries that are not fitted with basic safety equipment.
"Such vehicles are not welcome in the capital and the Safer Lorry Scheme will see them effectively banned from our streets.
"The lives of thousands of cyclists and pedestrians will be much safer as a result and I urge all operators of HGVs to get on board and make it a success."
The vehicles will need side guards to protect cyclists from being dragged under the wheels, along with Class V and Class VI mirrors giving the driver a better view of cyclists and pedestrians around their lorry.
The installation of about 600 road signs, the training of police officers and information campaigns with drivers and hauliers have begun ahead of the start of the ban.

Summary: Large lorries without safety equipment are to be "effectively banned" from London's roads to protect cyclists.

Article: Pupils came up with the idea of the parking notices after being worried about crossing roads near Hillside Primary School in Bradwell, Norfolk.
Head teacher, Simon Minter said safety was at risk and despite a 30mph speed limit outside the school, there had been "several near misses".
Children issued 12 of the unofficial tickets to drivers of offending cars.
Toby, who is on the school council, came up with the idea: "A lot of children are starting to walk to school and a lot of parents are parking where they're not meant to be."
One parent who parked on a bus stop outside the school said she was late and knew a bus was not expected for another 20 minutes, but added she "would never park there again."
The children's actions were endorsed by many parents dropping off children.
"I really agree with them getting tickets. I think it's disgusting that they think they can park where they like and put kids in danger," said one parent.
Mr Minter said there was parking nearby even if that would involve a short walk.
"We've got some incredibly supportive parents but many don't realise the impact of their actions en-masse.
"We provide year five and six with as much independence as we can. If they don't see approaching traffic because of cars parked where they shouldn't be, they put themselves in danger," he said.
The school has 209 pupils and the head said "a greater proportion could walk to school" which would be a benefit given that "fitness is an issue in the area".
He explained the catchment had seen a 7% to 12% rise in obesity levels among children.
The school said it planned to run the ticketing exercise regularly.

Summary: Parents who park or drive badly near a village school have received 'parking tickets' issued by pupils.

Article: Mr Sanders remains a dogged pursuer but Mrs Clinton has 1,691 of the 2,383 delegates needed to win, AP reports.
He is still attracting tens of thousands to his rallies, on Friday calling for a "political revolution".
Mrs Clinton pointed out she has "2.6 million more votes" than Mr Sanders.
Saturday's voting is just for the Democratic nomination.
Mr Sanders has spent the week on the west coast, rallying support among liberals and the left-wing.
Late on Friday in Seattle's Safeco baseball stadium, he repeated key elements of his policy platform, urging economic equality and universal health care.
He said: "Real change historically always takes place from the bottom on up when millions of people come together. We need a political revolution!"
Mr Sanders is trying to build on overwhelming victories in Tuesday's caucuses in Idaho and Utah.
However, he also suffered defeat in Arizona, and although his delegate haul from the three states was 20 higher than Mrs Clinton, he has failed to make major inroads into her lead.
Mrs Clinton has also been campaigning in Washington state. She told supporters in Everett: "We are on the path to the nomination, and I want Washington to be part of how we get there."
She also focused on this week's deadly attacks in Brussels, condemning Republican rivals Donald Trump and Ted Cruz for their "reckless" foreign policies.
Opinion polls are scarce and tricky in caucus elections - a series of meetings in which voters give their support for candidates with an open show of hands.
However, Mr Sanders has used his appeal with grassroots activists to benefit from the voting system in the past. He has done particularly well among young voters.
Washington is the biggest prize, with 101 pledged delegates available. Hawaii has 25 delegates at stake and Alaska 16.
Whatever happens on Saturday, the battle will be won and lost in far bigger states still to come. In RealClearPolitics poll averages, Mrs Clinton has the lead over Mr Sanders by nine percentage points in California, 34 points in New York...

Article: Controversy and criticism has surrounded work on the fifth version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).
Critics say the rulebook turns normal behaviour, like grief or childhood temper tantrums, into mental illness.
It is used mainly in the US, but is influential around the world.
This is the first update to the volume since 1994. Experts in mental health have been taking account of the latest scientific developments to update ways of diagnosing mental disorders.
The changes were presented at a meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
There are new categories including binge eating disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (previously known as childhood bipolar disorder) and hoarding disorder.
Meanwhile Asperger's syndrome is one of four previously separate conditions that have now become part of a single condition called autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
ASD now encompasses autism as known previously, Asperger's disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder which has not been specified.
The main symptoms of ASD are deficits in social communication and social interaction and restricted repetitive behaviours, interests, and activities.
The publication will have no effect on how people are diagnosed in the UK and other countries which use guidelines from the World Health Organization.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been modified to emphasise that this disorder can continue into adulthood.
Ahead of the update, Prof Peter Kinderman, head of the Institute of Psychology at the University of Liverpool, argued on the BBC's Scrubbing Up column that: "[DSM-5] will lower many diagnostic thresholds and increase the number of people in the general population seen as having a mental illness."
He said "normal grief" would now be classed as a major depressive disorder and childhood temper tantrums would be a symptom of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.
Also: "A wide range of unfortunate human behaviours, the...

Article: The scheme will see Westminster and Holyrood give £500m each in additional grant funding to the city and its surrounding areas.
Glasgow and neighbouring councils will supplement this by borrowing £130m.
The cash will be used to pay for major transport and employment programmes. It is hoped the City Deal will boost the area's economy by £2.4bn annually.
It was announced last year that Glasgow would be the first city in Scotland to benefit from City Deal status - an agreement between the UK Treasury and a city region.
Similar deals are already in place in Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool.
The City Deal was signed on Wednesday by Glasgow City Council leader Gordon Matheson; Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander; Scottish Local Government Minister Derek Mackay; UK Minister for Universities, Science and Cities Greg Clark and and leaders of the other participating local authorities.
Councillor Matheson described the signing of the City Deal as "a momentous day".
"The benefit this funding will bring to our infrastructure, economy and labour market will be felt for decades through tens of thousands of new jobs and increased competitiveness," he said.
"I look forward to working with all of our partners to deliver this hugely important project in the years to come."
The UK government has already claimed the investment could create 28,000 new jobs over the next 20 years, and could eventually generate around £1.75bn of economic growth in Glasgow every year.
Mr Alexander said the deal would have a lasting impact on Glasgow and its surrounding area.
He said: "This is fantastic news for residents of the city and the Clyde Valley region, as it means those who know Glasgow best - the people who live and work here - can decide where this investment can benefit them and their families most."
Mr Mackay added: "As our largest city, Glasgow is central in driving economic growth.
"That is why the Scottish Government has agreed to invest £500m in a city deal for Glasgow and the Clyde Valley that delivers significant...

Article: The volunteers were angry at the RNLI's decision to shut down the station later this year.
They had said they would no longer use the lifeboat to respond to emergencies, and would instead use their own boats.
But the crew agreed to take back their pagers at a meeting on Friday night.
In a statement, the crew members said they felt they had to do so ahead of the busy summer diving season, but they pledged to continue campaigning to save the St Abbs station.
There has been a lifeboat station in St Abbs for more than 100 years. The local volunteers have been credited with saving hundred of lives in and around the seaside town on the east coast of the Borders.
But following a review the RNLI announced last week that the St Abbs boat was no longer needed and in future cover would be provided with an additional boat in nearby Eyemouth.
Supporters of the station have argued that closing it would put lives at risk.

Police have arrested two people on suspicion of murder after a man's body was found on moorland.

Article: The Financial Assistance for Political Parties scheme distributes funding to parties to help assembly members perform their duties.
It includes payments to help run whips' offices and employ party staff.
MLAs have approved the assembly commission's proposals to reduce the payments by 3%.
It forms part of an overall cut in the assembly's budget of 5% this financial year.
Under the new arrangements, parties will be able to claim about £25,600 if they have one MLA.
Parties with two or more MLAs will be able to claim about £51,100, plus about £3,300 for each MLA who is not a minister or junior minister.
Parties with between three and 10 MLAs will be able to claim about £16,000 for their whips' office.
The payment for parties with between 11 and 20 MLAs will be just under £24,000, while parties with more than 20 MLAs will be able to claim about £32,000.

Article: Oskar Groening, 93, who was known as the "bookkeeper of Auschwitz", was allegedly responsible for counting banknotes confiscated from prisoners.
He faces charges over 425,000 people sent to Auschwitz in occupied Poland between May and July 1944.
About 1.1 million people were murdered at the camp, most of them Jews.
The trial will take place in the north German city of Lueneburg. Fifty-five survivors and victims' relatives are plaintiffs in the case, and many are likely to attend the trial.
Prosecutors in Lueneburg allege that as well as counting money, Groening also hid victims' luggage away from new arrivals, to disguise the victims'  fate.
A statement from the prosecutors' office said that the former guard was aware that those deemed unfit to work at the camp "were murdered directly after their arrival".
Groening, who began work at Auschwitz aged 21, does not deny witnessing the mass killing at Auschwitz. In 2005 he told the BBC: "I saw the gas chambers. I saw the crematoria. I saw the open fires. I was on the ramp when the selections [for the gas chambers] took place.
"I would like you to believe these atrocities happened - because I was there."
Last week the world commemorated the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by the Soviet Red Army.
Prosecutors in Hamburg are also investigating a 93-year-old woman suspected of having served as a Nazi SS guard at the Bergen-Belsen camp.
Hilde Michnia (born Liesewicz), a resident of Hamburg, allegedly helped evacuate the Gross-Rosen camp as Allied forces approached, forcing prisoners on a march which killed around 1,400 of them.
The investigation into Michnia's alleged involvement began after a private citizen filed a complaint against her, a spokesperson for the prosecution said.
She denies the allegations. She told Germany's Die Welt newspaper on Sunday that she was not involved in any atrocities and only worked in the camps' kitchens.

Article: Middle-ability students and those whose parents lack qualifications benefit most from positive feedback, according to the Cambridge University research.
The students were tracked for seven years from the age of 13 onwards.
This is the first study of its kind to quantify the effect of encouragement on pupils, says the university.
"When people speak of a positive school experience, they frequently cite a personal relationship with a teacher and the encouragement they were given," said report author Dr Ben Alcott.
"Our research helps quantify that impact and show its significance, particularly for addressing social mobility."
The 4,300 teenagers, who were all in the same school year and from more than 600 schools across England, completed a detailed questionnaire every year between 2003 and 2010.
In Year 11, the last year of compulsory education at the time, they were asked whether a teacher had encouraged them to stay on in full-time education.
The researchers used mathematical modelling to cross-reference pupils' responses with their subsequent life histories, including whether they did A-levels and whether they went to university.
They were also grouped according to other factors such as level of parental education and household income.
"This approach brings us plausibly close to reading the long-term effect of encouragement from teachers," said Dr Alcott.
Among students who said they had received encouragement, 74% continued with their education after 16, compared with 66% among pupils who did not receive encouragement.
For pupils in the middle third for attainment, the effect of encouragement was even more pronounced - 64% of those who received encouragement did A-levels, compared with 52% among those who did not.
And this difference persisted, with 46% of pupils in this group who said they had received encouragement going to university, compared with 36% of those who did not.
For students whose parents lacked formal qualifications, 64% of those who received encouragement, continued with their studies after...

Summary: Encouragement from teachers is key to keeping pupils engaged with education after the age of 16, suggests a study of more than 4,000 students in England.

Article: The migration, which will be complete by mid-2015, will end the need for the "paper counterpart" document drivers have to keep with their licence.
Insurers said "honest" motorists could see premiums fall by up to Â£15 a year.
At the moment, insurers cannot check licence or traffic offence details when they sell policies, meaning they have to "price in" risk factors.
The Association of British Insurers says premiums are pushed up by the fact that firms have to take account of the risk that drivers either do not tell the truth about speeding points to get a lower quote, or simply make a mistake.
"Significant cost savings" would also result from "reducing the need to obtain paper copies of licences from policyholders", the association added.
By Brian WheelerBBC News
Most of us would struggle to find the official document we are meant to keep with our driving licence. But from the middle of next year we will not need to.
All the information on it - such as speeding points - will be available online. It is one of 25 public services set to go digital by 2015.
Cabinet Office minster Francis Maude says the days when government IT projects were a by-word for disaster are over.
Britain now leads the world. And it has already saved taxpayers more than a billion pounds a year.
But critics point to universal credit.
The government's flagship welfare reforms rely heavily on new IT systems - and these have been hit by cost over-runs and delays straight from the bad old days.
A system due to be launched by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) will allow insurers to access the information using an individual's licence number.
Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude said anyone with a driving licence would be able to use the online database while there will be an assisted service for those who find it difficult to use the internet.  They will be able to get help from a call centre, library or post office.
Most of the UK's 40 million drivers would see falls in premiums, he suggested.
"This will enable insurers, for...

Summary: Moving all driving records online could reduce the cost of car insurance for most people, ministers have said.

Article: The Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) said it was looking into Timea Bacsinszky's win over Vitalia Diatchenko.
Swiss Bacsinszky, the 15th seed, beat Russia's world number 87 6-1 6-1.
The TIU said the alert did not mean match-fixing had taken place, adding: "There are many reasons other than corrupt activity that can explain unusual betting patterns."
It cited "incorrect odds-setting, well-informed betting, player fitness, fatigue and form, playing conditions and personal circumstances" as factors which could prompt betting organisations to raise an alert.
However, the organisation was critical of the manner in which details of the investigation were released, blaming a "leak".
"Publicising match alerts is premature and inevitably draws unwarranted attention to the players involved in the match," it said.
"Under the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program, all players are considered innocent unless proven otherwise at an independent anti-corruption hearing."

Summary: A first-round match at the US Open is under investigation after suspicious betting patterns were detected.

Article: Craig Nelson, who was also known as Craig Preston, was found at the Woodhead Tunnels off the A628 in Derbyshire at 11:00 BST on Monday.
A post-mortem found the 34-year-old from Wath-Upon-Dearn in Rotherham died as a result of head injuries.
A man, 41, and a woman, 23, were arrested in Sheffield by South Yorkshire Police and remain in custody.

Summary:


Plans set out by the Sussex police and crime commissioner (PCC) to take responsibility for fire services in East and West Sussex - and potentially merge them - have met with opposition.

Article: She will play campaigning defence solicitor Emma Blunt in the six-part series, which is described as an "exciting, visceral political thriller".
Harbinson said it was a legal thriller "but one that's written in the crash zone where law and politics collide."
The Peaky Blinders actress said she was "thrilled" to be leading the new drama.
"When l was at drama school l was inspired by Prime Suspect, watching as Britain led the way in creating strong female characters to lead their dramas," she said.
"It's a thriller that starts deceptively small, then begins crossing borders to different cultures and continents."
She said she knew and admired Harbinson's writing for Homeland, which starred her husband Damian Lewis in its early series, and can't wait to start filming.
The drama will follow Blunt as she investigates the killing of a schoolgirl in East Anglia and tries to free the man she thinks was wrongly convicted of the girl's murder.
As part of her investigation she starts to sense that forces in the police and the intelligence services want to stop her uncovering the truth.
Harbinson, who was also an executive producer on 24 and Person of Interest, said he was "delighted" that McCrory had agreed to play the lead role.
"She is a complex and contradictory character, and I am incredibly lucky to have someone of Helen's wit, warmth and intelligence bringing her to life," he said.
Harbinson said he immediately said yes when he was asked if he was interested in writing a legal series inspired by the work of campaigning lawyers like Gareth Peirce, who helped gain the release of Guildford Four member Gerry Conlon, and Helena Kennedy.
"Much of the work I've done in America in the last 10 years (24, Person of Interest, Homeland) has been about life in the post 9/11 (and post 7/7) world," he said. "The so-called war on terror has put serious stress on the ordinary workings of the law.
"National security justifies all sorts of police and state over-reach - and the great majority of us are prepared to accept this.
"So I...

Summary: Helen McCrory is to star in an ITV legal thriller from Homeland writer and executive producer Patrick Harbinson.

Article: Henry Iddon clambered up some of England's highest mountains to capture images of the landscape and climbers using a Victorian glass plate camera.
The large camera originally belonged to the pioneers of landscape and climbing photography, George and Ashley Abraham.
The Lake District images are on display at Keswick Museum and Art Gallery until 12 May.
Mr Iddon said: "With mobile phone cameras and Instagram, photography has become something very immediate, something that is easy to do with little thought.
"Professional photographers can take thousands of photos on a shoot and later edit the best ones to make them perfect.
"That sort of technology wasn't available to the Abraham brothers.
"Firstly, the camera and equipment were much, much bulkier and heavier than their modern-day counterparts. They had to be carried up some of England's biggest mountains to get the necessary shots.
"When they had climbed the mountain, they then had to be very careful with the way they prepared the shot.
"They were extremely limited with the number of photographs they could take - the glass plates the camera used were heavy so they could only take a handful with them on each expedition."
He added: "It is amazing to think that over 100 years ago rock-climbing was in its infancy, yet with this camera, the Abraham brothers were instigating a whole new genre of photography.
"It's a real privilege to take that process full circle and shoot the extreme sports of today with a camera that was doing the same thing in the late 1890s."

Summary: A photographer has followed in the footsteps of a pair of pioneers from the 1900s - almost literally.

Article: Watchdog Rospotrebnadzor claimed the restaurants had breached  "numerous" sanitary laws.
McDonald's said it was looking at the complaints, adding its "top priority is to provide safe and quality products".
The watchdog also announced checks at McDonald's in the Urals, in central Russia, said the Itar-Tass news agency.
The Moscow closures and the unscheduled Urals checks come amid rising tensions between Russia and the West over the crisis in the Ukraine.
Previously, when diplomatic tensions have been high, the regulator has controversially banned products including wine from Georgia, cheese from Ukraine and apples from Poland, according to BBC Moscow correspondent Daniel Sandford.
Earlier this month, Russia imposed a "full embargo" on food imports from the EU, US and some other Western countries, in response to sanctions over Ukraine.
The regulator's actions in Moscow and the Urals are part of an ongoing investigation into McDonald's food standards in Russia.
In July the watchdog filed a lawsuit in Moscow urging the restaurant chain to withdraw certain products.
McDonald's said that restaurants on Pushkin Square, Manezh Square and Prospect Mira in Moscow had been temporarily closed, and said it wanted to "re-open the restaurants as soon as possible".
"We will continue taking care of our employees and will do our best to continue the success of McDonald's business in Russia," the firm added.
Quentin Peel, former Moscow bureau chief for the Financial Times, told the BBC that the checks and closures were "propaganda".
McDonald's opened in Moscow 24 years ago, and has been seen as a symbol of Western capitalism in Russia, Mr Peel said.
"It's an extraordinary decision, because McDonald's is the great symbol of the West, but at the same time they've set up the most extraordinary network of suppliers in Russia to keep the whole system going.
"There are now something like 300 McDonald's across the country, and they've got an enormous network of people providing them with potatoes, and beef, and everything that goes...

Summary: Russia's main consumer watchdog has temporarily shut four McDonald's restaurants in Moscow as part of an investigation into food standards.

Article: It ranks 65 out of 79 countries on the Global Hunger Index from the International Food Policy Research Institute. By the government's own estimate, nearly half of India's children under five are chronically malnourished. From 2005-2010, India ranked second to last among 129 countries on underweight children, below Ethiopia, Niger, Nepal and Bangladesh.
Surveys  a decade ago found that 36% of Indian women of childbearing age were underweight, compared to 16% in 23 Sub-Saharan countries.
Economists Amartya Sen and Jean Dreze have called India's inability to properly feed its women and children "catastrophic failures, with wide-ranging implications not only for the people of India today but also for the generations to be born in the near future".
The landmark Food Security Bill, the Congress-party led government belives, is India's best shot at battling chronic malnutrition and hunger.
The bill - which was passed by ordinance but needs to be ratified by parliament - proposes to make food a legal right. It seeks to cover two-thirds of the country's population and provide 5kg of subsidised food grain per person per month.
The bill also proposes free meals and maternity benefits for pregnant women, lactating mothers, children between the ages of six months and 14 years, and malnourished children and destitute and homeless people.
All this should be good news for India, except that many don't believe so.
For one, some critics argue that the scheme could upset the budget with subsidies on food doubling to a whopping $23bn (Â£15.5bn). This will not help India, they say, to cut its fiscal deficit to 4.1% of GDP by 2012-2013 from an uncomfortable 5.5% expected this fiscal year.
These critics frame India's food security debate as one of a "question of hungry people versus fiscal responsibility".
But there are some graver reservations over the scheme, which its critics say have not been addressed.
One is that it is proposed the food be distributed through India's notoriously corrupt and leaky state-owned cheap food ration...

Summary: Despite robust economic growth and rising incomes, India remains a hungry republic.

Article: The bony appendages that ran down the backs of these animals made them among the most iconic of dinosaur species.
But quite what their purpose was is something of a mystery.
Now, new research, published in the journal PLoS ONE, claims that males could have sported rounder, broader plates, while females might have had narrower, taller plates.
Evan Saitta, from Bristol University, UK, examined the remains of stegosaurs preserved in a "graveyard" of these creatures in Central Montana, US.
The jumble of fossils contained at least five individuals and he compared their skeletons with those of other specimens of the same species - Stegosaurus mjosi - from previous collections.
The researcher's analysis shows that the plates fell into two distinct forms, and that this variation could not be explained, for example, by differing growth stages.
"Simply looking at them by eye, you can identify two varieties. But then you can also measure them and do a more quantitative analysis and demonstrate that, yes, there are two distinct varieties of plates, and that there don't appear to be any clear-cut intermediates," Mr Saitta told BBC News.
As a consequence, he proposes that the two forms are likely to be an example of so-called sexual dimorphism. This describes the situation where the males and females of the same species can evolve dissimilar forms.
The Bristol scientist cannot say for sure which plate shape belonged to which sex, but he makes the case that the larger, rounded ones would have been found on males.
"We know from modern animals that males typically invest more into their ornaments than do the females. In this case, the broader variety reaches sizes 45% larger in surface area than do the tall plates. And I argue that these wide plates would create a great 'billboard' for male stegosaurs if they were using them to attract a mate."
It does raise the question, of course, of why the females also then had plates. But Mr Saitta points to other modern animals where reduced forms also appear in the female of a species...

Summary: Stegosaurs may have had quite different shaped plates, depending on whether they were male or female.

Article: The move is part of national fire service reforms unveiled by Home Secretary Theresa May last week.
Sussex PCC Katy Bourne said emergency services would have an increased duty to collaborate under the new bill.
But West Sussex County Council (WSCC) said it already had an excellent model.
East Sussex's fire authority said it would co-operate with the PCC but it believed collaboration could be achieved without elaborate structural change.
Ms Bourne said she had written to WSCC leader Louise Goldsmith and Phil Howson, East Sussex Fire Authority chairman, to request they begin to look at the feasibility of bringing both fire services under her authority.
"Just as we have one police force that effectively manages the county, we need to understand if one fire service not two could achieve the same," she said.
Ms Bourne's letter met with cross-party opposition from WSCC.
And Ms Goldsmith also invited the home secretary to visit West Sussex and see an alternative to the government's preferred plan.
Ms Goldsmith said West Sussex fire service was already integrated within the council and served communities.
She added last year's Shoreham air disaster showed how West Sussex emergency services already worked together.
East Sussex Fire Authority said it was willing to co-operate with the PCC to determine whether proposals could improve delivery of services and create efficiencies.
In a statement, it added: "[The fire authority] believes whilst close collaboration between the emergency services is essential, it can be achieved without elaborate structural change.
"It is also the fire authority's considered view that it is more accountable to the community it serves because its members are elected councillors."
