Summary: Mumford and Sons want fans to stand up to ticket touts.

The band are asking their fans to sign a petition so that tougher penalties for touts can be debated in parliament. In order for that to happen they'll need 100,000 signatures - so far more than 14,000 people have signed the petition. Little Mix and One Direction are also tweeting their support, using #toutsout. Mumford and Sons have been using #toutsout On their Facebook page Mumford and Sons wrote: "If getting onstage is one of the best things about being a musician, seeing your audience get ripped off is undoubtedly the worst. "At M&S HQ we try hard to ensure that true fans have the best opportunity of getting into shows, at the right price, but are often powerless when faced with organised industrial-scale ticket touting. "At the moment, the law makes it easy for these shady operators to hoover up tickets and profit at your expense - so we are joining with others across the music and creative communities to a support petition that demands politicians tighten up consumer legislation." Little Mix have been using #toutsout in support of the petition The petition is headlined Enforce the Consumer Rights Act to protect music, arts and sport fans from touts. It says: "Fans are being ripped-off by ticket resales. "The Consumer Rights Act has not changed this. "We demand that parliament enact last year's ticket resale amendment, which provides tougher sanctions for resale websites, and also require ticket resellers to reveal their identities." "On a commercial scale, touting deprives the Treasury of VAT, and performance copyright holders of royalties that should be paid on the mark-ups. "It also denies artistes the ability to ensure their events are priced so anyone can attend." One Direction are supporting the petition A Department for Business Innovation & Skills spokesman said: "In the Consumer Rights Act, the government committed to an independent review of online secondary ticketing. "The review has been considering a wide range of stakeholders responses to consider how best to represent consumers' interests. We are expecting the review report in late May 2016."

What are US university 'honour codes'?

Summary: When a young American woman told police she had been raped, her university started to investigate whether she had violated its "honour code" before the attack took place. At some US colleges even having a man in your room or drinking alcohol is an offence. What is an "honour code" and how is it supposed to work?

By Jasmine Taylor-ColemanBBC News, Washington DC Madi Barney was so terrified she would be thrown out of Brigham Young University (BYU) she waited four days to tell police in the city of Provo, Utah, that she had been raped in her own flat. "I just remember sobbing and telling the police officer I couldn't go forward because BYU was going to kick me out," Barney, 20, told the New York Times. Her fears were borne out when she was summoned to the university weeks later. She learned her police file had been passed to university officials and they had launched an investigation into "honour code" violations. BYU is a Mormon college, and in order to enrol there Barney had signed up to a strict code of conduct. By committing to the honour code, students promise not to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes or take illegal drugs. They must refrain from drinking tea or coffee or wearing skirts or shorts above knee-length. And unmarried students must not have sex - even having a member of the opposite sex in their room is a serious offence. Barney says was told she could not register for any future classes at BYU while its inquiry into her honour code violations was pending. When she complained publicly about her treatment, several other female students said they too had been subjected to investigations after reporting sexual abuse. This sparked protests at the BYU and a US-wide debate about how victims of rape or sexual assault are dealt with on religiously conservative campuses. Teresa Fishman, head of the US-based International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI), describes BYU's honour code as "an extreme case", which is "misaligned with mainstream culture". Most US universities have an honour code to uphold ideals of honesty academic fair-play, rather than a dress code or sexual abstinence, she says. The first honour code dates back to 1736, adopted by the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. During enrolment week, entering students still gather in the university's Great Hall and pledge not to lie, cheat or steal. Brigham Young University Honor Code "We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men... If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things." Full text here As most of America's earliest higher education colleges were founded by religious denominations, many codes have a "distinctly moral" focus, says Fishman. When they work, they can help students feel a part of their university system and encourage a process of self-policing, she adds. Under Princeton's honour system, in place since 1893, professors leave the room during exams - trusting students not to cheat and to report anyone who does. This system of students turning in others is a core principle of honour codes in most institutions. The accused will normally go before a panel of peers or faculty members, which then decides on a verdict and a punishment ranging from community service to suspension or complete expulsion. Despite a number of cheating scandals at US universities in recent years, Linda Trevino, a professor of organisational behaviour and ethics at the Pennsylvania State University, says that over the past 20 years, honour codes have had a positive effect. How well they work depends on whether they become "integral to the culture", she adds. Some universities have adopted new honour codes as they struggle with preventing students from copying information from the internet. Harvard University introduced a more formal code last year after dozens of students were suspended for cheating. Not all US universities have an honour code. And only a handful of privately run institutions, such as BYU, use the code to demand students live in accordance with religious beliefs. Liberty University, a Baptist university in Virginia, has a code of conduct called The Liberty Way, which limits students' hairstyles, clothes and any public displays of affection. Also against the rules are sexual relations "outside of a biblical ordained marriage between a natural-born man and a natural-born woman". Other universities, including the Southern Virginia University and BYU, espouse the teachings of the Mormon church, and this is reflected in their honour codes (which apply even to students who are not active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). BYU's strict code has created headlines in the past, with basketball star Brandon Davies expelled in 2011 for having sex with his girlfriend. The latest news about the treatment of sexual abuse victims has stirred up an even greater controversy. Most outsiders see disciplining a student who has already suffered sexual assault as unnecessary punishment of the victim, says Ryan Cragun, a sociologist who specialises in Mormonism at the University of Tampa. However the university's Mormon administration separates the events - the student is not considered at fault for rape, but she is at fault for being intimate with a man, he says. It comes down to the university interpreting its code to the letter, he says, rather than considering the overall aim to help and protect students. BYU President Kevin Worthen has admitted a "tension" created by the honour code system and announced a review, following the protests at the university. In a petition that has attracted more than 111,000 signatures, Madi Barney calls for immunity for students reporting attacks. Her main objective is simply this: "I don't want anyone to have to go through what I'm experiencing." Subscribe to the BBC News Magazine's email newsletter to get articles sent to your inbox

Giles Terera: 'You can't just sit back and hope people will cast you'

Summary: Giles Terera didn't play the main role in Hamilton in London - but his performance still won him the 2018 Olivier award for Best Actor in a Musical . After a year in the physically demanding show Terera knew he wanted a different challenge. Now he's in an intense drama of politics and morality - set in Norway in the 1880s.

By Vincent DowdArts reporter, BBC News He's also writing a book for young actors, imparting the kind of wisdom he "would have liked to have heard at that age from a working actor". Revivals of classic plays often lay claim to special contemporary relevance - it's good marketing. But Terera is certain that, even 133 years after it first appeared, Henrik Ibsen's drama Rosmersholm fits the bill. "I play the brother-in-law of Pastor John Rosmer, whose wife - my sister - has recently died," he says of his new production. "Rosmer undergoes a crisis of political ideology and a crisis of faith, which disturbs some of those around him. In the play there's an election coming up which gives focus to the drama. "And of course there might be - although maybe there won't be - an election during the run of this production so that's going to be in the minds of the audience. "Part of the genius of Ibsen is that he doesn't tell the audience what to think. He sets up a moral dilemma and then says well what would you do? The main characters are debating if we're living life the best way we can. Have we found the best way to run society? That finds such an echo in the big debates now, whether it's Brexit or huge ecological questions. The plays asks how people can be free and fully realise themselves." In the production, directed by Ian Rickson, Rosmer is played by Tom Burke of the BBC series Strike. Hayley Atwell, currently in Avengers: Endgame, also stars. Terera comes from Hertfordshire. The surname is Zimbabwean, though he says people tend to guess Portuguese. He was in bands growing up and when he went to drama school he thought he was heading for a career in musical theatre. "But after a year you have to decide what to specialise in and I chose the acting course. Partly it was that I was discovering Shakespeare and the beauty of language. So now I've done 10 or so things at the National Theatre but I've also been in Avenue Q and then Hamilton. ''Being in Hamilton meant having almost a monk-like way of life. You have to take care of yourself: you need to keep fit and you can't really go for a drink or party. But Lin-Manuel Miranda created something extraordinary and like nothing I'd been in the presence of before and we all wanted to get it right. "Lin-Manuel had thought I'm not really seeing myself represented on stage so he created the kind of show he wanted to see. That's what I tell young actors who are starting out: create your own work because you can't just sit back and hope people will cast you." Acting is a tough profession to get started in. But did being a black British performer make it tougher? "It's as difficult to be an actor of colour in this country as it is to be a person of colour in this country. It's exactly the same. But when I started out it would have been much rarer for a black actor to be cast in the role I'm playing in Rosmersholm. So things are better in that regard. "But I feel that where we are now is where we should be anyway. In terms of representation there's still a long way to go. It's a work in progress but that's true of society generally: it's not only what's on stage or on TV." Six years ago Terera co-produced a documentary called Muse of Fire which looks specifically at why so many people find Shakespeare hard to get into and decide it's not for them. "It's something I found when I was younger but I think it's pretty common. So with Dan Poole, who I was at drama school with, we did a road trip and talked to all kinds of people like Judi Dench and Mark Rylance and Tom Hiddleston. Without fail they all said coming to Shakespeare had been a journey - it takes time. So we wanted to say to young people that Shakespeare is for you too - all the ideas of love and family and age." Currently he's busy with two writing projects. He's writing a book of advice for young actors, provisionally called The Balancing Act. "There are lots of books about theatre but they tend to be by directors. When I arrived at Mountview (his drama school in London) I know I was a bit green. I hadn't come to London as a teenager to see plays - though I went to movies a lot. So I thought what would I like to have heard at that age from a working actor." Terera hopes the book will be out next year - when also his play The Meaning of Zong should be on stage. "It's set in 1783 and it's about a trial which took place in London after a massacre two years earlier on a slave ship in the Caribbean. The trial led to the foundation in Britain of the abolitionist movement. "We hear a lot about the transatlantic slave-trade and America's involvement but not much about its place in British history. I've been working on the play for a couple of years with the Bristol Old Vic. It's about trying to right a social injustice and it's a real piece of history which no one I know had ever heard of." Terera is energetic in taking his career beyond just acting. So does he plan to move further into writing and producing? "One of the great things about having been in Hamilton and winning the Olivier is that now I can have really interesting conversations with different people about projects. I feel like I've always had lots of stories I'd like to explore. So that's what I always say to young actors: make your movie, make your film. "You can have a camera, you can have editing equipment, you can have a sound mixer and these days it's all in your own bedroom. There's nothing stopping you."

Iran nuclear crisis: What are the sanctions?

Summary: Since Iran's nuclear programme became public in 2002, the UN, EU and several individual countries have imposed sanctions in an attempt to prevent it from developing military nuclear capability. Iran insists its nuclear activities are exclusively peaceful, but the world's nuclear watchdog has been unable to verify this.

Iran and world powers agreed an interim deal in 2013 which saw it gain around $7bn in sanctions relief in return for curbing uranium enrichment and giving UN inspectors better access to its facilities. World powers also committed to facilitate Iran's access to $4.2bn in restricted funds. What do the sanctions entail? Several rounds of sanctions in recent years have targeted Iran's key energy and financial sectors, crippling its economy. The four rounds of UN sanctions included: The EU also imposed its own sanctions, among them: Japan and South Korea have also imposed sanctions similar to those of the EU. As well as more recent sanctions aimed at Iran's financial, oil and petrochemical sectors, the US has imposed successive rounds of sanctions since the 1979 Tehran hostage crisis, citing what it says is Iran's support for international terrorism, human rights violations and refusal to co-operate with the IAEA. The US sanctions prohibit almost all trade with Iran, making some exceptions only for activity "intended to benefit the Iranian people", including the export of medical and agricultural equipment, humanitarian assistance and trade in "informational" materials such as films. What has been the effect of the sanctions in Iran? As a result of the EU embargo and the US sanctions targeting other major importers, Iran's oil exports had fallen to 700,000 barrels per day (bpd) by May 2013, compared with an average 2.2 million bpd in 2011. In January 2013, Iran's oil minister acknowledged for the first time that the fall in exports was costing the country between $4bn and $8bn (£2.5bn-£5bn) each month. Iran is believed to have suffered a loss of about $26bn (£16bn) in oil revenue in 2012 from a total of $95bn (£59m) in 2011. In April 2013, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecast that Iran's gross domestic product (GDP) would shrink by 1.3% in 2013 after contracting by 1.9% the previous year. The White House estimated that Iran's oil exports would remain at a level of about one million bpd during the six months of the previous interim agreement. It estimated that Iran would accrue $1.5bn during that period from sales of petrochemicals, trading in gold and other precious metals, and the renewed transactions with foreign firms involved in the automotive sector. How would lifting sanctions affect the Iranian economy? The "P5+1" group (US, UK, France, Russia, China plus Germany) has said that in the event of a deal being reached, sanctions should be eased in a phased manner, with restrictions on imports of nuclear-related technology remaining for years. Iran wants the UN sanctions suspended soon after any agreement is reached. The loss of oil revenue, which accounted for a half of government expenditure, and isolation from the international banking system, had caused Iran's currency, the rial, to lose two-thirds of its value against the US dollar and caused inflation to rise to more than 40%, with prices of basic foodstuffs and fuel soaring. Many Iranians therefore see the lifting of the sanctions as an essential first step in improving the economy. During his first election TV programme in 2013, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was quoted as saying that "sanctions will... be resolved, and economic prosperity will also be created". "I said it is good for centrifuges to operate, but it is also important that the country operates as well and the wheels of industry are turning," Mr Rouhani said, in a documentary broadcast in 2013.

Coronavirus: UK before and after 'lockdown'

Summary: Locations across the UK are eerily empty following the introduction of strict new measures to try to slow the spread of coronavirus. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said everybody should stay at home and go out only for specific reasons.

Here are a selection of images from locations around the UK showing scenes before and after the "lockdown". Crowds gathered at the gates outside Buckingham Palace on 13 March 2020, while only a couple of figures pass by on 24 March. Traffic queues on London's Tower Bridge on 16 March 2020, but only a few vehicles can be seen on 24 March, the day after the prime minister's announcement. Visitors congregate outside the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square, London, on 28 January 2014 but on 24 March 2020 there's barely anybody to be seen. Crowds of people flocked to Barry Island to enjoy the beautiful weather on 14 September 2019. Compare this with 25 March 2020 It was a similar scene in Bournemouth. Holidaymakers pack the beach on 28 June 2019 but on 23 March 2020 only a few people can be seen strolling along the edge of the shore. People walk across the Millennium Bridge in London, with St Paul's Cathedral in the background, on 13 March 2020 while all is quiet a few days later on 25 March. Ticket holders gather for the sold-out play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at London's Palace Theatre on 12 March 2020. Just a few days later theatres, along with restaurants and other non-essential businesses, were forced to close as part of the measures to try and slow the spread of coronavirus. Waterloo station in London is one of many busy transport hubs around the country which look very different at the moment while people are asked to only travel if it is absolutely necessary. Commuters can be seen thronging the concourse on 12 March 2020 but look at the difference on 25 March. The streets in the centre of Bath were busy with visitors and shoppers on 11 March 2020 and but on 24 March the shops were closed and the streets empty. All pictures subject to copyright

How do you treat very young sexual offenders?

Summary: A 13-year-old boy has been sentenced to four years in custody for the rape of a nine-year-old boy and sexual assault of two others when he was 11. How does the system deal with such young sexual offenders and their victims?

By Claire HealdBBC News Put yourself in the position of a child counsellor who has been assigned the task of meeting a young person who has been convicted of committing sexual abuse crimes so grave they are being held in a secure unit. Is this young person a monster with nothing to redeem them? Or a vulnerable child with their own problems to be fixed? That is the kind of scenario that Professor Simon Hackett has often found himself in. He is an expert in child protection and acts as chairman for the National Organisation for the Treatment of Abusers (Nota). He says of the children convicted of sex crimes: "We sometimes have this image of them as demons, paedophiles. We have to deal with those things that they have done and protect others. "But, by and large, these are vulnerable and abused children. "I always used to feel a sense of anxiety on sitting down in a room with the child or young person. "But, when I met them, I was often struck by how normal they seemed. They need our help for the horrific things they have done, but we shouldn't forget that they are, first and foremost, children." The kind of issues Prof Hackett has faced are highlighted by the case of a Blackpool boy sentenced in Preston on Friday. The boy admitted multiple rapes of a nine-year-old boy and sexual touching of two boys aged seven and 11. The age of the perpetrator and his victims is strikingly young. But there are only a few such convictions for rape or sexual assault each year in the UK: In reality, however, these convictions are a tiny fraction of the actual number of incidents. Children's charity the NSPCC says about a third of sexual abuse is committed by minors. In many instances children are not prosecuted - either because the case results in a caution, or the abuser is below the age of criminal responsibility (10 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; 12 in Scotland). "Only a small proportion are convicted," says Prof Hackett, "but a significant amount of child sexual abuse is perpetrated by children and this also includes those under the age of 10". His research has found the average age of child sex abusers is dropping, perhaps partly because the teachers, social workers, police - the professionals working in child protection - are better at detecting it. His 2013 study of 700 cases of children referred to professionals because of their sexually abusive behaviour found one third were aged 13 or under; more than 100 were 11 or under. The youngest studied was four years old. Prof Hackett says: "Half of the group had themselves been sexually abused, more than half were physically abused or neglected. In the Blackpool case, the court heard the boy was a "high" risk for committing further offences. So, how does the criminal justice system proceed? The NSPCC has developed a national framework to guide local areas as they work with children who display harmful sexual behaviour (HSM). It runs Turn the Page, a service providing therapy for children, and family support. Work takes place in stages. A first step is to try to ensure the offender and the victim are safe - from reoffending or from the community. Adults working with the children set out a safety plan and monitor their behaviour. They assess the offence - was it normal behaviour, or not? A single or multiple incident? Was there consent, or violence? Via social workers and the justice system there may be help at home for low level offences. In the most serious cases, removal and custody to a foster placement or a secure unit. Offenders have therapy, from a psychiatrist, psychologist or social worker, be that general help or specialist therapists working with highly deviant offenders. Prof Hackett has sat down to counsel child offenders many times, often in secure units. He explains to them why their behaviour is harmful to other people, so they realise the impact. Abusers are taught to manage risks and triggers for their behaviour. How long the therapy continues varies. There might be a court order, for a given period of time; short doses of three to six months; or treatment over several years. Despite cases like the one in Blackpool, he says, there is "a hopeful message" for families whose children have a sexual behaviour problem. In his study of 69 children followed up in adulthood "the vast majority were not offending sexually" a result borne out by other international studies. Support and the passage of time means the majority grow up and out of the behaviour. It is a small proportion who go on to be prolific sex offenders.

Covid-19: Lockdown rules divide opinion at Norwich places of worship

Summary: Norwich is famed for its churches - and was said to have one for every week of the year. But whether or not they should be open for public services during England's current lockdown, along with other places of worship, has divided opinion. Why?

By Kate ScotterBBC News, East 'We need to heed the message to stay at home' Under the government legislation, places of worship are able to remain open for services during England's current lockdown. But Norwich Cathedral has decided to suspend public worship and move its services online from Wednesday. The Dean of Norwich, the Very Reverend Jane Hedges, says the decision was made with a "heavy heart". But she says with regard to the coronavirus pandemic, it is "important to reinforce the message that people should stay at home". The cathedral says its "virtual doors" remain open online to both worshippers and visitors alike via its the website and social media. The Sunday Eucharist will be live-streamed every week on the cathedral's YouTube channel and full details of how people can participate in daily worship at home are available on the cathedral's website. In line with government guidance, the Norman building remains open daily for individual prayer. You might also like: Dean Hedges says: "We all need to look out for each other at this time and to heed the message to stay at home as much as possible." She says they will resume public services "as soon as we can". "While we may not be able to gather for public worship or welcome general visitors at this time, we hope the cathedral's digital worship and online events will be of help and comfort to people at this difficult time for everyone," she adds. The cathedral's organists will play weekly online organ recitals throughout the lockdown. 'We need to play our part' Norwich Central Mosque has decided to suspend its communal worship, usually attended by about 95 people on Fridays. Secretary Sirajul Islam says: "We have reviewed the situation with everything that's going on and we should play our part to not allow a big gathering and not spread the virus. "We will being doing another review in two weeks." He says the mosque, on Aylsham Road, is still open for private prayer, which he says is needed to offer people "relief" and a place to go for those who are isolated. "We need to pray in this time of the pandemic," he adds. 'It's a place for comfort and solace' Meanwhile, Norwich's Roman Catholic cathedral, St John the Baptist, remains open for 17 masses a week. It is the second largest Roman Catholic cathedral in the country, behind Westminster Cathedral, and says it has the space for people to remain socially distanced. Cathedral coordinator Daniel Justin says while they would normally welcome 1,200 people across all of five of Sunday masses, they are currently limited to 170 per service. He says they are seeing about 50 to 70 people per mass, which is "like a postage stamp in this building". Mr Justin says: "As long as we can maintain our plans to ensure our place of worship is safe, we must keep our church open for mass and private prayer. "It really is a place where people can come for comfort and solace." He says parishioners must wear masks, wipe down their benches before they leave and sanitise their hands, and the Unthank Road cathedral is cleaned after each service. They have encouraged people to attend the various masses across the week, rather than fill up the Sunday service, and they also stream their services live online, he adds. What are the rules? In the areas of the UK where communal worship is allowed, a number of common measures are in place: Find BBC News: East of England on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Will Donald Trump remain bulletproof after Manafort and Cohen?

Summary: Tuesday's duelling courtroom dramas in New York and Virginia were the kind of body blows that would stagger, if not fell, most presidencies. And those were just the two top headlines in a day that contained a string of dismal news for Donald Trump.

By Anthony ZurcherNorth America reporter Will any of this matter? The president - at least among his base - has appeared politically bulletproof. Bulletproof for now, however, doesn't necessarily mean bulletproof forever. At some point, the projectiles - perhaps after the mid-terms, when Republican control of Congress and power to set the political agenda may be blunted - may start finding the mark. Here's a look at just how bad a day this was for the president. Cohen has implicated Trump in criminal conduct The president's former personal lawyer didn't just stand in court on Tuesday and accuse the president of lying - although he did do that. By saying that Mr Trump - "individual-1" in the plea agreement - directed him to make or oversee payments in 2016 to secure the silence of women poised to accuse the president of having adulterous affairs with them, he effectively implicated the president in the commission of a crime. Cohen admitted that his payments constituted campaign contributions that either were directed from an illegal corporate source or in excess of allowable amounts for an individual. Both acts carry a five-year maximum prison sentence. The president in the past has denied having any knowledge of the payments. His legal team has since walked that back and asserted that he only had general knowledge after the fact. Now, however, Cohen is saying Mr Trump knew about them from the start. And it's not just Cohen's word against the president's. In the case of the payment to Karen MacDougal - "woman-1" in the plea agreement - his lawyer has already released an audio recording in which Cohen and then-candidate Mr Trump discussed the issue. Add to this the fact that "woman-2", adult film actress Stormy Daniels, is now poised to resume her lawsuit against Mr Trump to get out of her non-disclosure agreement brokered by Cohen. A judge put the suit on hold pending the criminal investigation into Cohen, which now appears to be resolved. That suit could turn up more evidence of Mr Trump's involvement in the illegal $130,000 hush-money payment Cohen has now confessed to making to her on the eve of the 2016 election. It's heavy seas ahead for the president any way you look at it. Special counsel team notches a trial conviction Special Counsel Robert Mueller was under considerable pressure to get a conviction in his case against former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort. Even though the charges did not directly relate to the central thrust of his investigation into possible Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, it was the first time his team had to face a jury. If they had walked away without a conviction, either through a hung jury or an outright acquittal, the accusations from Trump loyalists that the investigation was a waste of resources and time would have reached a fevered pitch. It wasn't an across-the-board victory for Mr Mueller, given that the jury couldn't reach a verdict on 10 of the 18 counts, but convictions on tax fraud, failing to disclose foreign bank accounts and bank fraud are points on the board. Add that to the numerous indictments of Russian individuals and companies and plea agreements already reached with Trump campaign officials George Papadopolous, Michael Flynn and Rick Gates, as well as with London lawyer Alex van der Zwaan and computer programmer Richard Pinedo, and the special counsel team is producing a growing list of accomplishments. Pressure on Manafort mounts After the verdicts were announced, Manafort's lawyer told the press that his client was "disappointed". That may be a bit of an understatement. Even with convictions on only eight of the 18 criminal counts against him, Mr Trump's former campaign chair could be looking at a lengthy prison sentence. And Manafort faces a second trial in Washington DC next month for money laundering, acting as an unregistered foreign agent, conspiracy to defraud the US, making false statements and witness tampering. It's the bulk of the legal case against the long-time Washington lobbyist. Manafort's lawyers had insisted on the two separate trials, perhaps because they thought they he had a better chance of acquittal from an Alexandria jury or friendlier federal judges in the Northern Virginia district. If so, that plan backfired. Manafort may be hoping for a presidential pardon, given that Mr Trump has said his prosecution was politically motivated and that he was a "good man". The president can only pardon for federal crimes, however, and Manafort's conviction on tax fraud opens him up to future state-level charges, which Mr Trump has no power to forgive. Now 69-year-old Manafort is facing a lengthy prison sentence - and more legal battles to come. And while he hasn't shown a willingness to co-operate with Mr Mueller's investigation so far, that could change. Manafort, after all, attended the June 2016 Trump tower meeting set up by Donald Trump Jr with Russian nationals, originally billed as a means to gather damaging information about Democrat Hillary Clinton. He took a series of cryptic notes on the topic, which he might be willing to explain to the special counsel - in exchange for lightened sentence. Having one's former campaign chair end up as a convicted felon is not good news. If Manafort flips, however, a bad day for Mr Trump could, in hindsight, be a catastrophic one. Flynn is still co-operating Buried under Tuesday afternoon's news was another nugget from the special counsel's office, that it has requested the sentencing of former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn be delayed once again. "Due to the status of the investigation, the Special Counsel's Office does not believe that this matter is ready to be scheduled for a sentencing hearing at this time," Mr Mueller's lawyers told the court overseeing Flynn's plea deal. That would indicate that Flynn, who has admitted to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials during the Trump presidential transition, is still co-operating with Mr Mueller and that his usefulness to the investigation is ongoing. It might also mean that a formal sentencing hearing could reveal information Mr Mueller would prefer to keep secret at this time. Either way, it's a sign that, behind the scenes, gears are still grinding in Mr Mueller's investigation. Another early Trump supporter is charged Two weeks ago Chris Collins of New York, the first member of the House of Representatives to endorse Mr Trump's presidential bid, was indicted for insider trading. On Tuesday afternoon, Duncan Hunter - the second congressman to do so - was charged with using campaign funds for personal expenses, including trips for his family to Hawaii and Italy. Earlier in the day Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren unveiled a sweeping programme of political reform measures she said were necessary to address widespread political corruption in Washington DC. That included a ban on all lobbying by former top government officials, a prohibition of all members of Congress and White House staff from holding individual corporate stocks and a requirement that all president and vice-presidential candidates disclose eight years of tax returns. Similar calls for fixing a broken political system helped Democrats sweep into power in Congress in 2006. It did the same for Republicans in 1994. Mr Trump's "drain the swamp" rhetoric was a constant rallying cry for his supporters in 2016. After Tuesday's onslaught of convictions, pleas and indictments, Warren's slate of proposals could prove to be a potent mid-term weapon for Democrats this November, if they know how to use it.

Spy bill faces Commons dissection

Summary: Is it a revamped "Snoopers Charter," or is it an essential set of 21st century powers, to fight organised crime and terrorism?

Mark D'ArcyParliamentary correspondent Should the government be able to access your internet browsing history, bug your computer or smartphone, access and hold data on your medical history, trade union activities and much, much more? If so, what protections and procedures should be in place to control the process? How far should judges ride shotgun as ministers authorise intrusive powers? Should there be a watchdog to protect the citizen? These are some of the issues to be fought out next week, when the Commons holds two days of detailed debate on the Investigatory Powers Bill (here is my regular rundown of what is coming up in Parliament next week). This is the latest bill aimed at giving the security services and the police up-to-date powers to monitor activity on the internet - it comes with a long back-story: first there was the Communications Data Bill (the original Bill dubbed the Snoopers Charter, by its opponents) which was dropped after being savaged by a committee of MPs and Peers; then there was DRIPA, the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act (DRIPA), which only made it through Parliament after a clause was added to make it expire at the end of December. Now the IP Bill aims to renew and update those powers. The key to understanding what is going on, as this legislation returns to the Commons for two days of detailed Report Stage debate, next week, is the Parliamentary timetable and the mathematics in both the Commons and the Lords. The Bill has to be passed before the DRIPA expires in December - otherwise the legal authority for the existing powers will lapse (although there's always the option, in extremis, of passing an emergency mini-bill to continue the existing powers for a couple of months). Government concessions Then there's the maths - faced with some formidable backbench Tory critics, the government cannot rely on its narrow Commons majority, and needs at least the acquiescence of Labour to get the Bill through the House - and it has no majority at all in the Lords, so a roughing-up in the Commons may mean peers think they then have a licence to fillet the Bill of its most controversial provisions. And there's plenty of scope for controversy. The ur-text on this are the speeches by Shadow Home Secretary Andy Burnham and Labour's frontbench superlawyer, Sir Keir Starmer, at the Second Reading debate in March (the bill has been "carried over" from the previous session), where they set out their key concerns. Then, Labour abstained - arguing that a new framework for investigatory powers was needed, but this wasn't it. They set out a shopping list of changes required to gain their support. And since then an intensive process of behind the scenes negotiation has been under way - both between Labour and the government and with dissident Tories and amongst the opposition parties (providing, whisper it quietly, a rare example of Labour-SNP cooperation). This week, that process produced a couple of major government concessions. Trade unions First the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, David Anderson QC, has been commissioned to examine the operational case for the powers in the Bill (Labour being unconvinced by the evidence produced by the government, thus far). He will report back before the Bill reaches its Committee Stage in the House of Lords, and the government will have a hard time resisting any recommendations he makes, and would probably face defeat in the Upper House, if it did. Second, the government has agreed to accept Labour amendments making it clear that the powers in the Bill cannot be directed against legally-constituted trades unions. In addition, Home Secretary Theresa May has put down a new "privacy clause" (NC5) giving the various authorities allowed to employ the investigatory powers a duty to "have regard to: (a) whether what is sought to be achieved by the warrant, authorisation or notice could reasonably be achieved by other less intrusive means, (b) the public interest in the integrity and security of telecommunication systems and postal services, and (c) any other aspects of the public interest in the protection of privacy". This gives critics of the Bill some of the safeguards they want. Another government amendment will add a requirement for "exceptional and compelling circumstances" to justify the retention and examination, of health records. There is also movement on providing special protection for MPs, lawyers and journalists. Plenty of issues remain, however. 'Judicial review' All the opposition parties remain concerned about the extent to which the Bill would require people's internet connection records (ICRs) to be kept for 12 months. This would reveal which websites had been visited by who - although not the detail of what had been looked at within a particular site. There is still considerable dispute over the threshold of seriousness which should be crossed before this information could be accessed. Then there's the question of how authorisation should be granted. In the Bill, the security services apply to the Secretary of State for a warrant and then a Judicial Commissioner reviews the minister's decision under 'judicial review principles' - effectively checking that a proper process has been followed, rather than considering the merits of the application. Both Labour and former Shadow Home Secretary David Davis, a long-standing critic of the government's approach on investigatory powers and an important player on the Tory benches, have amendments down to tighten up this "double-lock" scrutiny mechanism and remove reference to judicial review principles throughout the Bill. Both want to give the Judicial Commissioner the same power as the Secretary of State to determine whether a warrant is required based on the evidence available. Major flashpoints And David Davis goes further, with a new clause (NC 22) to reverse the approval process, so that an application for a warrant is first made to a Judicial Commissioner, rather than the Secretary of State - although Labour look unlikely to support that. This area could be one of the major flashpoints; the government will probably resist any further erosion of ministers' role, on the principle that ministers, not judges, should take such decisions - and be accountable to Parliament for them. The SNP want even more controls - they're particularly concerned about equipment interference, one of the most intrusive powers in the bill, which would allow the direct bugging of computers, smartphones and other devices - and where it's applied to Parliamentarians, which includes those in the Scottish Parliament, the Northern Ireland Assembly and the Welsh Assembly, they want both the Secretary of State and the Prime Minister to sign off on equipment interference warrants. They are also calling for heavier supervision of the use of investigatory powers - with amendments to replace the proposed Investigatory Powers Commissioner with a bigger, all-singing, all-dancing Investigatory Powers Commission. And across the opposition parties there is a move to ensure that the appointment of the Commissioner (or, if agreed, the members of the SNP's Commission) can be made, except on the recommendation of independent judicial appointments bodies in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. 'Unlawful use' Meanwhile, UKIP's Douglas Carswell has an amendment to require the appointment of the Investigatory Powers Commissioner to be agreed by the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament. Lib Dem former Scottish Secretary Alistair Carmichael has an amendment to address the problem that, because of the nature of the business, people who are wrongly subject to intrusive surveillance are unable to secure redress. To deal with this he proposes giving the Investigatory Powers Commissioner the power to notify those who have been a subject to an interception warrant/equipment interference/covert human intelligence gathering etc, when the authorisation or warrant against them has fallen. This would allow someone who is notified of their surveillance to take a case before the investigatory powers tribunal and would discourage the police or security services from mounting fishing expeditions based on very little evidence. A similar system is already in place in Germany, Belgium and California. This probably goes too far for Labour. The political parties are not the only players. The Intelligence and Security Committee, the high-powered parliamentary watchdog, chaired by the former Attorney General, Dominic Grieve, has weighed in with amendments designed to put privacy at the heart of the Bill. They start with New Clause 4, which creates a criminal offence of "unlawful use of investigatory powers". 'Operational purposes' It's not a completely new offence, but the idea is to create a catch-all crime, taking in what the committee calls the "intrusive investigatory powers in the Bill," rather than relying on offences scattered across several pieces of legislation. Another amendment (25) aims to limit the potentially broad scope of thematic warrants involving people who "share a common purpose" by ensuring that they also must be engaged in a particular activity. Then there's New Clause 2, to allow the ISC to refer matters on behalf of Parliament, to the Commissioner and to provide a mechanism for the Committee to be informed of the outcome. And there's a proposal that the list of "Operational Purposes" for which the powers can be used is reviewed at least annually by the Prime Minister. Other amendments have come from individual MPs: the Conservative Stephen McPartland's New Clause 6 is designed to limit access to Communications Data to the Intelligence Services and Law Enforcement Agencies only. "There is no rationale for organisations such as Food Standards Agency and Gambling Commission to have the same incredibly intrusive powers as the Intelligence Services, Mr McPartland said. Conservative ex-minister Sir Edward Leigh wants to require the Secretary of State to consult the Speaker before deciding to issue a warrant that applied to an MP's communications - and a further cross-party amendment extends that to the presiding officers of all UK legislatures. SNP concerns And the SNP go further - proposing a new clause (NC23) to ensure applications for a targeted equipment interference warrant or targeted examination warrant against Parliamentarians are decided by a Judicial Commissioner, without the involvement of the Home Secretary - and it would also provide extra safeguards to the correspondence of Parliamentarians when a warrant for hacking is sought. This is just a cross-section of some 400 amendments. Of course, many will not be selected by the Speaker for debate, while others will be grouped together, but there will be plenty of issues on which the government, faced with a combination of most of the Opposition parties, plus an array of Tory dissidents, may be forced into concessions. There's a delicate political dance here, because while ministers are not in a strong position, Labour (which would be the essential keystone of any government defeat) cannot afford to be painted into a corner where it looks soft on terrorism. While almost the entire Opposition abstained at Second Reading, few are expected to do so when Third Reading is reached on Tuesday. But it would take a monumental bust-up over some really crucial point for Labour to vote against - especially when they know that the Bill will certainly be highly vulnerable to further amendment, when it reaches the House of Lords. The SNP, meanwhile, say the government has not responded to their concern. Justice spokesperson Joanna Cherry MP said: "For the UK government to dismiss reasonable SNP amendments outright means they run the real risk of putting opposition parties in the position of having to vote against the Bill in its entirety. "That is not a decision that we would take lightly - so I call on the Home Secretary to urgently reconsider adopting our proposals before next week's vote."

Eminem's Kamikaze: Is it time for the 'greatest' to quit?

Summary: Eminem's surprise album Kamikaze has made UK chart history.

By Jimmy BlakeNewsbeat reporter It's the rapper's ninth record in a row to go to number one, breaking the record for most consecutive chart-topping albums - a title previously held by Led Zeppelin and ABBA. Fans and artists tell Radio 1 Newsbeat the milestone confirms Eminem as the "greatest of all time". And while plenty agree, some say reaching the landmark means it's "high-time for him to retire as an act". 'Eminem is the GOAT' Speaking to Newsbeat at the GRM Daily Rated Awards, Ray BLK described Eminem's career as "iconic". "He's a rapper who really expresses himself - a lot of other rappers don't do that. Maybe they're afraid to. "I loved his really comedic phase when he was doing really funny videos as well." The comedy era of Eminem came early in the rapper's career. Tracks like My Name Is from 1999's The Slim Shady LP and 2002's Without Me were accompanied by videos which often saw him taking on light-hearted storylines. It was the era when Krept & Konan had his music "on repeat". "He is one of the best artists in the world, period. In his creativity, videos - everything. "Eminem is the GOAT - that's the word that comes to mind straight away when you think about him." His status hasn't come without controversy though - Eminem's lyrics have always split opinion. We don't have enough time to list the many, many subjects he's rapped questionably about over the years - but the list includes domestic abuse and school shootings. And he's been regularly criticised for the homophobic slurs that have featured in his songs - which even appear on Kamikaze in a diss directed towards Tyler, The Creator. It's the sort of thing that can't be overlooked, according to leader singer of Imagine Dragons, Dan Reynolds. He tweeted: "It's never ok to say a word that is filled with hate. I don't care what year you were born in or what meaning it has to you. "If it contributes to hate and bigotry then it is hateful. period." The use of homophobic lyrics is also criticised by Dan Stubbs, Commissioning Editor at NME. Speaking to Annie Mac on Radio 1, he said: "Twenty years ago when he first came out, no-one would have blinked at this but the world has changed and he should have changed with it. "I think it's a blot on an album that didn't need it. On an album with lots of things to talk about, this one's taken attention because it's shocking." Beyond the lyrics For producer Steel Banglez, it's the team working around Eminem that have been the most inspiring. "Mike Elizondo, who works with Dr. Dre, is a producer who I really idolise," he says. "He's the guy behind Lose Yourself and he made a lot of the Marshall Mathers EP. "I was in the studio with him at the start of this year - his production style is what's influenced me." Big Narstie says Eminem is a "lyrical genius", but wonders whether other artists could potentially achieve similar success with access to the "money machine that Eminem's got behind him". "If someone could throw 30 or 50 million behind my project... wow. "I'd love to see what he's done being achieved by an independent label with a budget of like, £25,000." Time to retire? The album's had a generally positive response from fans, too. It's a contrast from the reaction to 2017's Revival, which was "skewered by reviewers". "I don't know what he was doing with that Pink jam," long-time fan Vikar tells Newsbeat. Vikar clearly wasn't a fan of Need Me, which features the singer. And after being disappointed by Revival generally, he wasn't expecting much from Kamikaze. "But when I heard it I thought, he must have realised the mistakes he was making before. "He's changed his choppy flows and maybe not working with Rick Rubin helped. The Dr. Dre touch has boosted it." Despite being positively surprised, Vikar thinks it might be time for Em to hang up his mic. "Eminem is a brand so however good or bad his albums are, they're always going to go to number one because he has such a fandom. "When he released Revival I thought he should have stopped, but it wouldn't have been a very good album for him to retire with. "Now that Kamikaze's out I'm not sure if he can produce a better album. "He should quit releasing albums now. He could start producing albums for other people - but this seems like the right album for him to retire with."

Bronze Age houses: What the finds tell us

Summary: At a quarry in Cambridgeshire, archaeologists say they have discovered Britain's "Pompeii - a number of well-preserved dwellings dating back to the Bronze Age. The artefacts found there reveal new details about the period between 2500 and 2000BC and those who lived through it.

By Kayleen DevlinBBC News What did they eat? One of the finds at Must Farm quarry in Cambridgeshire were pots with meals still inside. According to Selina Davenport, an archaeologist who helped uncover the Bronze Age dwellings, the find suggests that the pots were being used to make pottage. "Think porridge and add a few extra herby things, and if you were lucky you might have had honey to dollop in the middle. It isn't a great meal, and if someone put a bowl in front of you, you wouldn't light up," says Chris Gosden, Professor of European Archaeology at the University of Oxford. "What people mainly ate was vegetable based dishes, so the discovery of pottage isn't a great surprise, as meat was something saved for special occasions." 'Complicated' woodwork and textiles "This site has provided evidence of things we didn't have evidence for before, like the Bronze Age people's amazing woodwork skills and knowledge of timber," says Duncan Garrow, an associate professor of archaeology at Reading University. The finds include sophisticated woodworking joints and evidence of woodland management. According to Mr Gosden they show the Bronze Age inhabitants were skilled carpenters able to construct really complex settlements in tricky environments. "We know people in the past were incredibly skilled, but this gives us a sense of the range of skills these people had and in an environment we would find very difficult to work in, they are totally at home with. The thing about wood is you need to think ahead. If you're going to build a house you need to have planted the right trees and have the right material. In these dwellings, there's evidence of a whole managed landscape and people's ability to plan and think ahead." The discovery of textiles made from plant fibres such as lime tree bark suggests those living in the Bronze Age were skilled in the use of a range of different materials. "Making things with this fabric is more technological and complicated, and is something we didn't expect," says Ms Davenport. From the Balkans to Britain An earlier excavation at the Must Farm quarry uncovered these "exotic" glass beads that formed part of a necklace and, according to archaeologists, "hinted at a sophistication not usually associated with the Bronze Age". Ms Davenport says the beads, which look similar to Roman beads, suggest trading between continents was further spread than initially proved. "These beads confirm a few of our suspicions. Using the signatures within the glass, we can tell they came from the Balkans. We know there were some established trading routes coming from near continents to Britain at the time, but this is spreading that territory even further," says Ms Davenport. Why did they leave? The settlement discovered at Must Farm quarry is made up of circular wooden houses, built on stilts, and dates from about 1000-800 BC. A fire destroyed the posts, causing the houses to fall into a river where silt helped preserve the contents. Archaeologists at the site think they have found five houses but are not yet certain. "It's like a snapshot, a moment in time," says Mr Gosden. "We've known for a while that in both the Bronze and Iron Age, people burned down and abandoned their houses for physical reasons. There doesn't seem to be any physical reason as to why they had to abandon this house and go somewhere else," he says. "It was some other reason. The question is, what? The sorts of things that might be the case is the death of a significant person or a major trauma to the community - something social and cultural within the life of the community."

Mexico train crash: Five dead from 'La Bestia' accident

Summary: At least five people are dead after a cargo train notorious for transporting Central American migrants hoping to reach the US derailed in southern Mexico, authorities have said.

Officials said at least 35 people were injured, 16 gravely. It is feared the death toll could rise. An unknown number of people were also trapped, the Red Cross said. Soldiers, marines and emergency workers were trying to access the remote crash site, which ambulances could not reach. Officials were working to establish air or water access to the site. Cesar Burelo Burelo, the head of civil protection for Mexico's Tabasco state, said the derailment occurred early on Sunday in a remote area with no mobile phone coverage. Mr Burelo said dozens of people had been on the train, which was moving north from the border of Guatemala. The train, sometimes called "the beast", often carries hundreds of people on the roof as they undertake the risky journey to the US.

The Kenya schoolchildren keeping letter-writing alive

Summary: The BBC News School Report gives students aged 11 to 16 the chance to make their own news reports. Here Jack, a 15-year-old studying at a boarding school in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, explains why the old-fashioned art of writing letters is back in fashion.

My school, the Starehe Boys' Centre in Nairobi, Kenya, is known for academic excellence, especially in national examinations. It is against school rules to have mobile phones. We have ICT hubs, smart boards and internet access, but these are only for academic research. We are not allowed to access social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. So that begs the question, how do we communicate with our friends in other schools - especially girls? The answer is that we go back to the good old days and write letters, but not just ordinary letters. They are artistic, calligraphic, hand-written letters we create during our free time. In the school library I find some of my friends writing letters. ''Most of the time we send the letters to our friends in girls schools,'' says Charles. ''We put effort in writing them so that we can communicate our emotions well." Some of the students believe that letter-writing allows them to be artistic. ''I love art so I take my time so that my friends get the best letters," says Moses, as he decorates his envelope with blue calligraphy. ''I am writing to a very close friend. She is a member of the orchestra club and I am too." After the letters are finished, the postman drives his motorbike through the busy Nairobi traffic and delivers them to our friends at Loreto Msongari girl's school across the city. The girls gladly receive the letters. Some of them tell me what they think about letter-writing. ''I am really excited to receive a letter from one of my friends in Starehe,'' says Tabitha. "I think it's better to write letters in school than to have phones. It is a mode of communication that everyone can afford and it's what everyone looks forward to when you go to high school," she says. One would imagine that letter-writing is ancient and backward but many students in Kenya actually enjoy this method and describe it as a real blast from the past. ''On a phone you can't express yourself the same way you can in a letter,'' says Danielle. "My letter was really interesting, I like the handwriting, the calligraphy really pops - it makes me want to read it." I asked Angel, one of the bubbly girls, to share the most interesting bit of her letter. ''Well, he said that I have long silky hair and a blinding smile!'' she says, giggling. While other young people around the world are busy texting each other, we have had to re-invent ways of keeping in touch with our friends. It works for us!

Brian Cox and Adele's producer Paul Epworth discuss music and the cosmos

Summary: Paul Epworth is behind some of the biggest pop records of the last 20 years, from Adele's Rolling in the Deep to Florence and the Machine's Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up).

By Mark SavageBBC music reporter Along the way he's worked with Rihanna, Stormzy, Sir Paul McCartney, Coldplay and U2 - and he won an Oscar for co-writing the Bond theme Skyfall. But now, after years behind the scenes, the producer is releasing his first solo album. Voyager, a journey into deep space, fuses influences from classic sci-fi movies with his love of musical explorers like David Bowie, George Clinton, Wendy Carlos and Jean-Michel Jarre. "It's a sort of '70s space concept album, which is a bit of a cliché as a producer - to make something that ostentatious and overblown," he told BBC News. "But I've tried to frame it in a modern way, so I've got some great singers and rappers on it." The record sees guest vocals from the likes of Jay Electronica, Ty Dolla $ign, Vince Staples, Lianne La Havas and Kool Keith. But, more importantly, it allowed Epworth to indulge his passion for space travel and astrophysics - as well as a habit for collecting ancient, analogue synths at his studio in London's Crouch End. He traces his interest in science back to his father's work in developing optical fibres. Yet he remains endlessly curious about life, the universe and everything. To celebrate the record's release, Epworth hooked up with Professor Brian Cox - the prominent physicist and former keyboard player for '90s dance act D:Ream - to ask some of the questions that occurred to him while making the album. Paul Epworth: When I began working on a record about space, little did I think I would be sitting here with you. Obviously you started in music as well, so what prompted you to make that shift into this love of the cosmos and astrophysics? Brian Cox: To be honest, my first interest was astronomy. As far back as I can remember. I just liked looking at the stars. I've thought about it a lot - what was it that made a seven-year-old become interested in stars? And I suppose it goes all the way back to looking forward to Christmas when you're six years old... and I think I began to associate it with the constellations. My dad once said to me 'There's Orion, it's the easiest constellation to see.' And I noticed that it was in the autumn and the winter when I'd start seeing Orion over our back garden. But I also remember really vividly Star Wars and Star Trek in general. So I also liked science fiction for some reason and I conflated it all together. Space became this idea, which was part escapism, part Star Wars [and] part astronomy. Music was almost a distraction! What is the connection for you between music and the cosmos? Is there a piece of music that brings the two together? Vangelis's theme for Carl Sagan's Cosmos. To this day, when that music starts, it's a shiver. It takes me right back to being 11 years old and looking at the sky. It is really powerful. I've actually been involved in the last few years with some attempts to match classical music to the ideas that are raised in astronomy and cosmology. We live in a potentially infinite universe which, to me, raises questions about our mortality about our fragility. What does it mean to live these small, finite and in some sense insignificant lives in this potentially eternal and potentially infinite universe? Those are emotional questions, they're deeply human questions, and they're questions that have motivated a great deal of art and music. I was reading a book recently by a guy called Itzhak Bentov called Stalking the Wild Pendulum, which is about the mechanics of consciousness. He talks about all matter vibrating - and of course vibration is the way every musical instrument generates noise. It got me thinking about how all these things fit together... There's an interesting point there, which is that music is a product of consciousness and intelligence. And if you think about what we are - how it can be that some atoms that have been around since the Big Bang... essentially be able to start thinking and create music? That's a remarkable thing. I think it was Richard Feynman who said "Human beings are atoms, that can contemplate atom." And part of those atoms' response to this remarkable phenomenon is to make music as part of the exploration of what that means. I find that remarkable. There's a theory that the universe is actually shaped like a doughnut. What are your thoughts on that? The point is we don't know. All we can observe about the universe is the bit we can see, which is undoubtedly a small patch of what exists. At the moment it's just over 90 billion light years across, so it's a big bit, [and] that bit is flat, as far as we can tell. But that's probably like saying "I've explored the region around my house and it's flat." And it's flat, even if you live on a big hill, because the curvature of the world is much bigger than the region around your house. That's probably what the universe is like. It's almost incomprehensible, the scale of some of this stuff. The distances... I mean, even the closest big galaxy to us is Andromeda which we can see with the naked eye, if there's no moon and it's very dark. And the light that enters your eye took two million years to journey to Earth. It's a remarkable feeling when you know that. Just to think, when those photons set off on their journey, there were no humans on the earth. We hadn't evolved. This is why music and art is helpful because I can say these sentences and trot out these words, but how a person reacts to that is... It's a complex, personal thing. How do you feel about the idea that we were in a sea of [stars] and we can see two trillion galaxies? How does that make you feel? I don't know how that makes me feel actually. That's why it's so inspiring because there's infinite angles to it. As you've understood more about the cosmos, how has your relationship with music changed? It's broadened, I think. When I first started getting into music I got Enola Gay by OMD and Hazel O'Connor's Eighth Day and I got into Kraftwerk. But over the last 10 to 15 years I've really got introduced to some of the great classical music from the turn of the 20th Century, and you find that increased harmonic complexity and richness. I did a concert actually with the BBC, about Holst's The Planets, which everybody listens to at school. It's almost become a pop classic now, but actually at the time it was shocking harmonically and in the way that it's orchestrated. And if you strip away that familiarity, you realise that it's a tremendous achievement. So I like searching out that complexity. It's interesting you say that, because it's something I [discovered] while making this record. Maybe it's humans trying to recreate the complexity of the night sky somehow within a musical form. It's a good analogy actually, because Western music has got quite a limited scale. There's just the [notes on a] piano keyboard and that's it. But from those very simple rules, the complexity is almost limitless. And that's an analogy for, I think, the way that we see the the Universe. So if you look at it now, 13.8 billion years after the Big Bang, it's tremendously complex - but the laws of nature that that underpin that appear, as we look deeper and deeper, to be simple. I read this amazing Neil deGrasse Tyson quote about how the particles in our bodies move at the speed of light, and obviously as you get closer to the speed of light time slows down. So are the particles in our bodies occupying the same place and time as they were in the Big Bang? Yeah, that's true. If you take the path of a photon that was released shortly after the Big Bang, and has travelled across the universe at the speed of light for 13.8 billion years or so, from our perspective - and say you'd carried a clock with you - how much time would you have experienced as a photon? Then you're right, the answer is zero. That's one of the radical things about physics and cosmology - it forces us into these seemingly extremely counterintuitive positions. Do you think new developments like quantum computing are going to make it easier for us to crack some of these puzzles? Yes! Quantum computing has been a thing for a long time - that just in principle we could build these computers that are far more powerful than anything that we can build out of silicon. And harnessing that power is something that we're just about able to do now. We are building the first quantum computers and they're really primitive - they're like an abacus almost. But it didn't take as long to go from the first computers in the '40s to an iPhone or a Samsung. And there's a suggestion that these machines will be able to simulate nature, much more precisely than we can at the moment, because all nature behaves in a quantum mechanical way. So we'll be able to explore places we can't go and [find out things like] what happens beyond the event horizon of a black hole? Do you identify with space as a spiritual construct? I never know what that word means - but it's certainly true [space] generates profound emotions. You've got to be in awe about the existence of the universe as a whole, and our existence within it. You're really missing the point if you're not astonished by that. So, to come back to the music side of it: Life on Mars [by David Bowie] or Moon Safari [by Air]? I have to say Life on Mars, because Hunky Dory is my favourite album. I love Rick Wakeman's piano playing on Life on Mars. If you're a musician and you try to play Life on Mars you realise that, while some of it's quite a standard chord sequence - I think it's actually the same as My Way - some of it is incredibly unusual and just shows you what instinctive genius Bowie was. What a writer. I love the whole album - although I love Air too. Which do think you'll do first, go to Mars or have a safari on the moon? I think the average person will get the chance to have a safari on the moon before they get to go to Mars. But I think someone might go to Mars before we can all have a moon safari. Would you go? I get asked that a lot. I think you have to have the right stuff - and I'm not sure I have the right stuff. Follow us on Facebook, or on Twitter @BBCNewsEnts.

Three sites shortlisted for new Monklands hospital

Summary: Three potential sites have been shortlisted for a new Monklands Hospital.

NHS Lanarkshire said the sites in Gartcosh, Glenmavis and Wester Moffat all met the necessary criteria. Gartcosh and Glenmavis were already being considered while Wester Moffat is a new location- identified through a public site nominations process run by the health board. The local community will have the chance to give feedback on the sites. A site re-evaluation process will then take place through a formal scoring event in March which will involve a group of 100 people, made up of members of the public and NHS staff. NHS Lanarkshire will publish detailed information on each of the shortlisted sites by the end of January. This will cover issues such as site history, site conditions, transport and travel information and the costs of site remediation, road infrastructure and construction. Following the outcome of the scoring event there will be an opportunity for further public feedback, which will be collated and issued along with a recommendation for a preferred site location in the spring. Graeme Reid, Monklands Replacement Project (MRP) director, said: "We're pleased that the public site nominations process proved very worthwhile, receiving 183 responses, and has identified the land at Wester Moffat as a new option. "Eight specific sites, additional to those we had considered previously, were suggested and, following assessment against the five site selection criteria, Wester Moffat was the only viable option among them." He added: "We also received a number of suggestions that were not about any specific site, mentioning general areas and particular communities or referring to the Gartcosh and Glenmavis sites that are already known to be viable." Neena Mahal, chairwoman of NHS Lanarkshire, said: "NHS Lanarkshire will undertake further public engagement on these potential alternative sites for the hospital as we address the urgent need to provide a new University Hospital Monklands for the communities of Lanarkshire." NHS Lanarkshire intends to create a "health and wellbeing village" on the current site of University Hospital Monklands to enable the local community to benefit from community-based healthcare.

First Valentine: Lasting legacy of 500-year-old love

Summary: Love it or hate it, even the most hardened anti-Romeo will be hard pressed to avoid Valentine's Day this year. But as an exhibit at the British Library currently on show is testament to, there is a first for everything - even on Valentine's Day.

By Anna BrowningBBC News Right reverend and worshipful and my right well-beloved Valentine, I recommend me unto you full heartily, desiring to hear of your welfare which I beseech almighty God long for to preserve unto his pleasure and your heart's desire and if it please you to hear of my welfare I am not in good health of body nor of heart nor shall be till I hear from you, for there knows no creature what pain that I endure and on pain of death I dare not reveal. And my lady my mother has laboured the matter to my father full diligently but she can no more get than ye know of for the which God knows I am full sorry. But if that you love me as I trust verily that you do, you will not leave me therefore. For if that you had not half the livelihood that you have for to do the greatest labour that any woman alive might I would not forsake you. And if you command me to keep me true wherever I go, I advise I will do all my might you to love and never no more. And if my friends say that I do amiss, they shall not me hinder so for to do. My heart me bids ever more to love you truly over all earthly thing and if they be never so angry I trust it shall be better in time coming. No more to you at this time but the holy trinity has you in keeping. And I beseech you that this bill be not seen of no earthly creature except yourself and this letter was written at topcroft with full heavy heart. By your own M[argery] B[rews]. It is a letter, written from a young woman to her love, and is the first Valentine in the English language. And, for the first time, the descendants of Margery Brews and her betrothed John Paston have been traced. In 1477 Margery wrote a letter to her John pleading with him not to give her up, despite her parents' refusal to increase her dowry. Addressing her "ryght welebeloued Voluntyne" (right well-beloved Valentine), she promised to be a good wife, adding: "Yf that ye loffe me as Itryste verely that ye do ye will not leffe me" (If you love me, I trust.. you will not leave me). Her beloved might have had his mind on business, driving a hard bargain for her hand in marriage, but Margery still had her sights on romance, and so secured her place in English history. "It might not necessarily be that nobody had used Valentine in any context before, but this is probably one of the first times it was written down," says British Library curator Julian Harrison. And for Cambridge historian, Dr Helen Castor, the importance of Margery Brews' letter and the light it sheds on relationships at that time is hugely important. "One of the wonderful things about this particular letter is that it is so private," she said. "It gives a real sense of the relationship between a young man and young woman wanting to marry. "Without this letter we wouldn't know that this was a love match," she said. While romantics 534 years later might celebrate Valentine's Day with fine dining, chocolates and flowers, Margery is left pleading with her love not to leave her while pledging her heart over all "earthly things". She promises her undying love: "Myne herte me bydds ever more to love yowe truly" (My heart me bids ever more to love you truly), and speaks of her ailing body and heart over her fiance's continuing silence. However, modern-day lovers be reassured, like any self-respecting fairytale romance the heart did (finally) rule the head and, despite her father's stubbornness over her dowry, Margery did marry her knight. The couple had a son, William, in 1479. Margery died in 1495, John in 1503. Their 16th and 17th generation descendants - by way of a king's illegitimate offspring - were traced via the family history website MyHeritage. Living in Shropshire and until then unaware of their genetic link to a Valentine milestone, Sir Charles Buckworth-Herne-Soame, his wife Lady Eileen, their son Richard, his sister Mary Edwards, husband Keith and son Rob recently saw the missive for the first time. For historians, the Paston Letters have long been a fascinating insight into the soap opera lives of gentry in the Middle Ages. Most documentation which survives from medieval times are legal and governmental records, financial accounts and property deeds. Few personal letters exist and even fewer are written by women. The archive of more than 1,000 letters - most in the British Library - is written by three generations of the Norfolk landowning-family over a period of 70 years. Family fall-outs, parents nagging, clashes with the aristocracy and parties while mother's away are all detailed. But Margery's letter, as the first English Valentine, has added significance for scholars and is currently part of a British Library exhibition on the evolution of the English language. Dr Castor says it sheds invaluable light on such relationships at the time. "We tend to assume that marriages in this class at this time were arranged for dynastic reasons, but Margery's letters show that everything else was slotted in around the fact that this was a couple who really loved each other." For archaeologist Rob Edwards, 38, and great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson of the couple, the letter is a link to the past he relishes, particularly as he works in history. "It really reminds you that the people you are studying are very much like ourselves. They have the same feelings and the fact that they are related really does add an extra dimension. "You can imagine it, trying to get a bit more towards the wedding from your parents. This money is going to set you up." Julian Harrison agrees. "The letter shows they were no different to us. They had the same loves, desires and financial problems." The medieval writer also had other things in common with their modern counterpart. Don't think the advent of mobile phones and e-mails is the first time abbreviations have littered correspondence, they often abbreviated a word or two in the Middle Ages - Margery used wt for with, for example. And while her letter is also written on paper, there is one key difference. She didn't write it herself. It would have been dictated to a man who would have written it for her. However, says Julian Harrison: "The fact that she isn't writing the letter doesn't mean she can't write, it means she can afford someone to write for her. "People have assumed that people in the past were illiterate, but actually levels of literacy may have been higher than we think." Richard Buckworth-Herne-Soame, 40, recognises some but not all family traits in the letter, while his mother, Lady Eileen, notes time have changed. She admits she brought no dowry to her marriage. "No he didn't drive a hard bargain," she says of Sir Charles. But, Richard adds: "We still have the stubbornness."

Would you eat chicken grown in a lab?

Summary: With the world's population likely to reach 11 billion by the end of this century, there will be increasing pressure on farmers to maximise their use of agricultural land, and also on scientists to contribute to ensuring we all get enough nutrition.

By Chris BaraniukTechnology reporter The sci-fi food of the future could change the way we eat forever, and it is going to be up to food designers and marketers to convince us that it's not just an acquired taste. In a lab in California, Josh Tetrick's team at Just has been growing chicken and foie gras. Maybe one day they'll have a steak blooming out of a petri dish too. This is "cultured meat". Its very existence suggests a potential future in which meat is largely decoupled from livestock and agriculture. Instead, meat could be cultivated in laboratory-like environments; grown from progenitor cells like stem cells that produce muscle tissue, for example. It seems as though in the future we'll need people to design food instead of grow or rear it. "I want to do tuna, I want to do steak, chicken breasts, milk and butter," says Mr Tetrick. "These are all things in our pipeline." By the end of this year, he plans to have Just's first cultured meat product available in the food marketplace, perhaps the synthetic foie gras or sausages. Mr Tetrick's hunch is that, for now, consumers will be interested only in synthetic meat that mirrors very closely the products that they're used to. If a synthetic chicken breast is essentially indistinguishable from a real one, it may well catch on. But looking further into the future, once such products become established, it's possible that designers will bring even more adventurous concepts to our plates, suggests Erin Kim, of the future food research institute New Harvest. You might start seeing elements of meat being incorporated into other types of foods - mixed with plant-based ingredients to produce a totally novel food products, she suggests. All the flavour and protein of meat, but with less fat and a wider variety of nutrients. This is already being done in a simpler way with burgers that are a blend of beef and mushrooms. There is also the possibility that synthesised foods won't be produced on the scale you might expect - with millions of cultured chicken nuggets rolling off a production line. Maybe the technology will become democratised, enabling small-scale designers to experiment with interesting new products for niche audiences. Like the craft beer industry but for meat, says Ms Kim. Mike Lee at research group The Future Market recently developed a mock-up of a future Chinese restaurant menu with plenty of synthetic meat on offer. One of the "chef's specials" at Jia Rou Canting in the year 2042 is Cultured Shark Fin Soup. "No sharks harmed", says the menu. An interesting idea, though in reality some may fear that a market for synthetic shark fins could encourage a black market in the genuine articles. Today's shark fin industry is regularly accused of over-fishing. Either way, giving food designers the opportunity to experiment with "artisanal takes" on lab-grown produce has lots of potential, says Ms Kim. But the challenge in developing any new food is in making something that consumers are comfortable with. There's little that people are more cautious about that what they eat, says Max Elder, a researcher at the Institute for the Future. "People don't want to eat science, they want to eat natural foods," he believes. Take vegan mayonnaise. This is mayonnaise made with natural ingredients, including beans, which can be blended into a familiarly product but without the need for eggs. One such product is called "Not Mayo", and has been developed by a firm in Chile. There may well be an important niche market among vegans - but this branding suggests that something else, something clever and futuristic, is going on. In contrast, traditional mayonnaise producer Hellmann's recently launched a nostalgia-driven re-design of its packaging to move away from "bright, synthetic branding". So will consumers stick with what's homely and familiar, or go for the food of the future? Max Elder thinks the former may be a savvier bet. But that said, he believes future food designers may have success if they can develop foodstuffs that are what he calls "hyper-individualised" - crafted to give a specific person the exact nutritional content they need. No more, no less. Dutch company ByFlow has come up with a 3D printer that prints food. Their model starts at 3,300 euros (£2,940) and the firm has already sold more than 100 of them, including many to professional restaurant kitchens. The printer is loaded with cartridges full of edible pastes than can be designed to set when extruded, says ByFlow's Milena Adamczewska. It will print a carrot by using beetroot paste, for example. Future of Work BBC News is looking at how technology is changing the way we work, and how it is creating new job opportunities. But taking the concept forward a step or two, imagine people in the near future using a 3D printer to produce meals with exactly the right calorie, fat, protein and vitamin content right for them. The concept of highly tailored food intake is already popular with some dieters, but a more automated way of preparing these dishes could help to interest a wider audience. The role for a food designer here would be to create ways of tailoring consumables to each and every user - and finding ways of making extruded foodstuffs appetising once arranged together. "Imagine that the cartridge is loaded with, let's say, all the nutritional elements that a single person needs," says Ms Adamczewska. It could even lead to a drop in food waste, she suggests, if people find it easier to purchase only the food they need to eat. The possibilities are endless but just how many of us will embrace them remains to be seen, as food is one of a few things in our lives that we are notoriously reluctant to experiment with.
