The government has outlined proposals to unfreeze assets worth 1,200bn krona ($9bn), subject to a 39% tax. Capital controls, such as those to restrict money flowing in and out of the country, were imposed in 2008 after the country's biggest banks collapsed. The government thinks the economy has recovered sufficiently to end controls. "These proposals contemplate addressing these risks through a combination of the payment of a voluntary stability contribution together with other measures designed to attenuate the release of crowns that have been trapped behind the capital controls and augment the foreign currency reserves of the Central Bank of Iceland," it said in a statement. The government imposed the controls in 2008 after the collapse of the country's three biggest banks - Glitnir, Landsbanki and Kaupthing - saw Iceland's national currency, the krona, plunge in value. Foreign currency for holidays abroad is still tightly controlled.

Summary: Iceland is considering ways to end capital controls after a vote in parliament to tighten financial regulations.

Henderson, 28, was carried off on a stretcher during the 5-1 Championship loss to Norwich and underwent surgery on Monday. "It's a big loss to the club to lose someone of Stephen's stature," Forest boss Gary Brazil told BBC Nottingham. "We know how well he'd been playing for us."

Henderson suffered the injury as he tried in vain to keep out Norwich's third goal, which came in the 18th minute. Brazil added: "It's disappointing for the boy, to know that's his season over now. The rehab will start almost immediately. He's in really good hands. "We know what a good goalkeeper he is but we have to move on. It gives someone else an opportunity and hopefully they will grab it."

Of several hundred phone calls to one big provider, just 7.7% were inquiries about cashing in a whole pension. Hargreaves Lansdown said the first day of the reforms - Bank Holiday Monday - was relatively quiet. Most calls were about long-term pension plans, such as buying an annuity, or setting up drawdown plans. The government's guidance service has also got off to a quiet start. So far, just 380 people have booked face-to-face help sessions with Citizens Advice in England and Wales, although the booking service has been open for more than two weeks. Nearly 1,400 people have booked guidance over the phone with the Pensions Advisory Service, while just under 200 have already had appointments. Experts - including the Association of British Insurers (ABI)- have been advising people not to rush into new pension arrangements. So far, it looks as though many people may be heeding their advice.

Summary: Retired people in the UK have responded cautiously to the government's pension reforms, with relatively few opting to withdraw all their cash.


So worried that he's suggesting the US pull out of the deal if what he calls "the erosion" continues. He is particularly concerned about the inspections clauses in the deal. He says he's hearing (though when I pushed him he wouldn't say from whom) that the right to inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities anytime, anywhere, may be diluted. He also points to redlines that have already been crossed, highlighting the fact that the deal has gone from being a 20-year agreement to a 10-year agreement, and that Iran's nuclear arrangements can be dismantled in country, not out of country. Mr Corker told me he still wants a deal, and sees that as the best option for America. But the man who guided the Senate to a bill that gave overwhelming support the negotiations now sounds more sceptical.

Summary: The influential chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Corker, is worried that the US is ceding too much in its negotiations with Iran.

Starting this week, bus operators that allow idling of more than four minutes in the borough can be fined Â£80. Camden Council said that some areas in the borough were in breach of European and national air quality standards.

The European Court of Justice has ruled that AB InBev cannot have exclusive European rights to the Budweiser name. The ruling comes 14 years after its initial application to register the name as an EU trademark was blocked by Czech brewer Budejovicky Budvar. Budvar also uses the Budweiser name in several European markets. The ruling, which agreed with an earlier decision by the European General Court, means that Budvar retains exclusive rights to the Budweiser name in Germany. Most other European countries, including the UK, allow both companies to use the name. Anheuser Busch, which was bought by InBev in 2008, first began producing their Budweiser in 1875 in the US, while Budvar's use of the brand dates back to 1895.

Summary: Global brewing giant Anheuser-Busch InBev has suffered a defeat in a long-running battle over the rights to the Budweiser beer brand.

The US-based Committee to Protect Journalists says press freedom has deteriorated significantly; it cites harassment of journalists and the removal of Ukrainian TVs from terrestrial airwaves and cable networks. Most local broadcasters are pro-Russian. Only Crimean Tatar ATR TV remains more or less critical of the authorities. Major Russian TV channels are widely available terrestrially. Top Ukrainian channels can only be watched online or via satellite. Black Sea TV, once the most-popular TV station based in Crimea, is now only available via satellite and the internet. Radio stations tend to focus on entertainment and operate as local outlets of major Russian broadcasters. Russian print media have expanded their presence. Most leading Moscow-based titles are available at local kiosks and many have set up offices in Crimea. Very few Ukrainian papers are sold.

Summary: Crimea's media scene has seen major changes since Russia annexed the peninsula in March 2014.

Extensive work on the Theatre Royal in Dumfries was originally priced at about £1.9m. Dumfries and Galloway Council was told that "unforeseen structural issues" had pushed spending up to £2.11m.
