Scottish independence: Businesses face tough choice

Summary: It's make your mind up time. Again.

By David HendersonBBC Scotland business correspondent Two and a half years after Scotland's first independence referendum, the prospect of "indyref2" looms once more. And this presents another potential headache for Scottish business. Last year's Brexit vote prompted some company bosses to reach for the aspirins, as they looked to an uncertain future outside the EU. Now, others may be opening the medicine cabinet, for a different reason. Brexit Brexit looks set to fundamentally change the way the UK trades with the continent. Free movement of people, goods, services and capital - the four freedoms enshrined in EU treaties - won't apply to the UK after Brexit. And the UK will most likely be outside the European Single Market and the European Customs union. That risks disrupting Scotland's trading relationship with the continent - a relationship worth £12.3bn in 2015. Indyref2 Some fear Scottish independence would have a similar impact within the United Kingdom, with a Yes vote creating a new relationship between Scotland and the remainder of the UK. In 2015, Scotland's trade with the UK was worth £49.8bn. That's four times as much as its trade with the EU. The SNP government stresses that it wants to prevent barriers to trade emerging between an independent Scotland and the rest of the UK. But over time, different laws could create a myriad of changes to this level playing field. Hard choices Businesses tend to dislike political and economic uncertainty. Little surprise then, that few Scottish firms were hungry for a dose of constitutional politics in the form of a Brexit vote. And the prospect of yet another long-drawn out referendum campaign fills many business people with gloom. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon wants to hold the vote between the autumn of 2018 and spring of 2019. The prime minister, Theresa May, may want to knock back the timing of the vote even later - perhaps as late as 2020, after any Brexit deal is concluded. That means years of uncertainty - and for business, an unappealing choice: On the one hand, an independent Scotland, outside the UK, but looking to rejoin the EU. And on the other, Scotland within the UK, but outside the EU. There's no third option on the ballot paper.

Joe Biden: How the president-elect plans to tackle climate change

Summary: Joe Biden's plan to tackle climate change has been described as the most ambitious of any mainstream US presidential candidate yet. Our environment correspondent Matt McGrath considers what he wants to do, and how he might get it done.

By Matt McGrathEnvironment correspondent Much will be made about Joe Biden's pledge to re-join the Paris climate agreement, the international pact designed to avoid dangerous warming of the Earth. President Trump pulled out of the deal after the Obama administration had signed up in 2016, and during the drawn-out election count, Mr Biden confirmed that reversing the decision would be one of his first acts as president. But key to his credibility on the international stage will be his domestic policies on cutting carbon emissions. More radical Democrats such as congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez have put forward a proposal called the Green New Deal, which would eliminate carbon emissions from most sources over a decade. The Biden climate plan is more moderate. However, if enacted, it would still be the most progressive climate strategy the US has ever attempted. Net zero by 2050 Mr Biden is proposing to make US electricity production carbon-free by 2035 and to have the country achieve net zero emissions by the middle of the century. Reaching net zero requires that any carbon emissions are balanced by absorbing an equivalent amount from the atmosphere by, for example, planting trees. Once in office, Joe Biden wants to spend $2 trillion over four years to drive down emissions by upgrading four million buildings to make them more energy efficient. He wants to spend heavily on public transport, to invest in electric vehicle manufacturing and charging points and give consumers financial incentives to trade up to cleaner cars. All of these options have one additional component apart from cutting carbon: they put people back to work. Andrew Light, a former senior climate official in the Obama administration, says Mr Biden is focused on what lowers emissions and increases jobs at the same time. "There will be a big push on electric vehicles, a big push on efficient buildings, both residential and offices, a big push on creating a new kind of civilian conservation corps and doing a lot of nature-based solutions on climate change. "You've got a really good menu to choose from in all of these different sectors." Mr Biden has also said he will not allow fracking on federal land. Fracking is a drilling process in which chemicals are injected into rocks to liberate natural gas and oil, and is controversial because of its environmental impact. However, since about 90% of it occurs on state or private land, the vast majority of fracking will be unaffected. Global temperature target 'within striking distance' The Paris deal sought to keep global temperatures "well below" 2.0C (3.6F), but in 2018 UN scientists clarified how much of a difference it would make to limit the rise to 1.5C. The 1.5C target could prevent small island states from sinking beneath the waves, it could ensure that millions of people avoid the disasters of extreme weather, it could limit the chances of an ice-free Arctic in the Summer. Scientists say that Mr Biden's goal of reaching net zero emissions by mid-century could have significant implications for the 1.5C target. "With Biden's election, China, the USA , EU, Japan, South Korea - two thirds of the world economy and over 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions - would have [commitments toward reaching] net zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century," says Bill Hare, who's part of the Climate Action Tracker, which monitors the world's carbon cutting plans. "This could be an historic tipping point." For the first time ever, this puts the Paris Agreement's 1.5C limit within striking distance, he says. More compromise There will be a Democrat in the White House, but the Republican party currently controls the US Senate and has so far shown a marked reluctance to spend money on stimulating the economy, despite the pandemic. That position might change if - as some have forecast - a January run-off election in Georgia gives Democrats control of the Senate. But if not, there are still grounds for President-elect Biden to believe the upper house may be open to some of his climate plans. While President Trump has taken a strident anti-climate approach, there has been a softening of rhetoric from some Republicans in the last couple of years. There are already precedents of co-operation to point to. In September, Democrats and Republicans co-operated on a bill to cut the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), a family of gases commonly used as refrigerants. They include some of the most powerful greenhouse gases known to science. The same month, the Senate also passed a bill called the Bipartisan Wildlife Conservation Act, intended to improve species conservation and protect vital ecosystems. Joe Biden also knows better than many how navigate the upper house; he was elected to the senate six times before serving as vice-president under Barack Obama. If the president-elect can structure his plans so that they create jobs and new infrastructure, while also tackling carbon emissions, he may be able to find a way forward that works for both sides of the aisle. "I think you could get a lot of common ground just around good policies that also have climate implications," says Katie Tubb, a senior policy analyst from the conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation. A Supreme Court problem? If he fails to agree legislation with the Senate, President-elect Biden will have to issue executive orders, similar to the way that Presidents Obama and Trump overcame such obstacles. President Trump used them to roll back dozens of environmental regulations on the production of oil and gas, and on mileage standards for cars and trucks. It's expected that many of those Trump rollbacks will themselves be rolled back at the start of the Biden administration. But the weakness of the executive approach is that it is open to legal challenges. President Obama had to use executive orders to try and implement a key climate policy, the Clean Power Plan, but they were blocked by the Supreme Court. If President-elect Biden goes down this route, the Supreme Court could present a potential stumbling block. The court would ultimately rule on any litigation over his climate proposals, and with the court's strong conservative majority, that could be a significant problem for Joe Biden. Glasgow becoming the new Paris President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris accords took effect on 4 November - the day after the election. A month after the Biden administration informs the United Nations of its decision to re-join, the US will once again be part of the global effort to curb climate change - much to the delight of climate diplomats. "It would definitely be a positive move, not only because they are a big player, but I think because it really emphasises the fact that the US believes in the science of climate change," says Carlos Fuller, the lead negotiator for the Alliance of Small Island States (Aosis) in annual UN climate meetings. These annual COP - conference of the parties - meetings are the mechanism by which countries agree to lower their carbon emissions. And US leadership is absolutely critical for this process. With China, Japan and South Korea having set long-term goals to cut carbon, expectations are rising that the UN's COP26 climate summit, which convenes in Glasgow in November 2021, may turn out to be a success. The UK government, which will run the Glasgow talks, will want every country to update their national carbon cutting plans with tougher targets than they submitted in in 2015. They will also want as many nations as possible to commit to net zero emissions by 2050. The return of the US to the climate fold, under President-elect Biden, will bring both goals within reach.

Ecclestone burglary trial: Jurors not to be 'unfairly prejudiced'

Summary: Jurors in the trial of four people accused of being part of a £26m burglary plot have been told not to be "unfairly prejudiced" by evidence that one of the suspects is an escort.

Judge Martin Edmunds QC issued the warning to the jury ahead of closing speeches at Isleworth Crown Court. Maria Mester is accused of conspiracy to burgle the west London homes of three celebrities - including Tamara Ecclestone. The 47-year-old denies the charges. The court was previously told that she, her son Emil Bogdan Savastru, and two other men were part of a plot to target the homes of Ms Ecclestone and Chelsea manager Frank Lampard and a house owned by the family of former Leicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. Four other men, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are alleged to have carried out the raids between 1 and 13 December. The trial has heard Ms Mester was arrested at Stansted Airport wearing Ms Ecclestone's jewellery and said she only returned to London from Milan because she heard her son had been detained at Heathrow Airport the previous day. In evidence she admitted to travelling around the world for "wealthy clients" in the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia and Belarus, but found herself in Orpington, south-east London, last December, with one of the alleged burglars for €6,000. In his legal directions to the 11 jurors, Judge Edmunds said: "In the course of the case we have heard that Mester worked as an escort. "You may or may not approve of that, but ensure that it does not unfairly prejudice you when you are considering her case." Ms Mester's childhood friend Sorin Marcovici, 53, and hotel concierge Alexandru Stan, 49, deny all charges, including conspiracy to burgle. Ms Mester and Mr Savastru also deny conspiracy to commit money laundering. The trial continues.

BA and Iberia parent group reports losses

Summary: The parent group of British Airways and Iberia has reported a 390m euro ($476m; £306m) loss for the six months to the end of June and warned it: "will not be able to avoid job losses".

That compares with a 39m euro pre-tax profit in the same period last year. Spanish carrier Iberia was worst hit. Its operating losses widened to 263m euros in the period. International Airlines Group said it would finalise a restructuring plan for Iberia by the end of September. Revenue rose 10% to 8.5bn euros compared with 7.8bn euros in the same period last year. Passenger numbers rose and IAG made more money for each passenger. But that increased revenue was more than offset by the 25% rise in fuel costs and charges from the process of restructuring its business. Despite those higher fuel charges, UK airline British Airways turned a small operating profit of 13m euros at the start of the year. The group's main problems reside with its Spanish carrier Iberia. In a statement, chief executive Willie Walsh warned: "Iberia's problems are deep and structural and the economic environment reinforces the need for permanent structural change. We are currently working on a restructuring plan for Iberia which we anticipate will be finalised by the end of September." "Inevitably, we will not be able to avoid job losses as part of this process," he added. As well as the cost of future redundancy payouts Iberia faces particular problems due to the worsening economic conditions in its home market of Spain. Originally, IAG had forecast it would break even this year. "However, in the light of the Spanish macro headwind, we now expect to make a small operating loss in 2012," said Mr Walsh. IAG shares ended Friday 5.2% lower at 151p.

Osborne faces up to productivity challenge

Summary: As a hack who has seen eight chancellors come and go since first taking a professional interest in the stewardship of the economy, it is slightly tempting to yawn and ignore George Osborne's claim tonight that he will put boosting productivity at the forefront of his policies.

Robert PestonEconomics editor If I were cynical I would say that it is a shame that the so-called productivity challenge hardly featured in the general election battle. Or I might point out that successive governments and chancellors have vowed to improve the UK's internationally sub-standard productivity, to very little effect. But I am minded to say that Osborne's focus on productivity tonight at the CBI dinner matters, not least because it represents an important shift of emphasis at the Treasury - towards an agenda for economic growth, rather than the almost exclusive focus of the previous coalition government on reducing the large deficit between public sector revenues and outgoings. However, just to be clear, there is no hint from the Chancellor of any backing away from very substantial welfare and ministerial cuts in his exceptional looming budget. 'Flatlining' There are a few points to make about what most economists will see as a belated statement of the bleedin' obvious by the Chancellor, namely that "improving the productivity of our country is the route to raising living standards of living for everyone in this country". First is that he acknowledges that productivity or output per hour worked in the UK cannot be suddenly turned from 30% below US and German levels to parity - or indeed that the unexpected flatlining of productivity since the Crash of 2008, which is the biggest single cause of the flatlining of earnings, will be transformed at a stroke into supra-normal growth. Thus he told the business leaders of the CBI that the aim was to "ensure higher living standards for the next generation to come". Or to put it another way, when it comes to productivity, there are no quick fixes. Second, much of what's required to boost output per hour and per worker requires hard and politically controversial decisions - to, for example, push through new road, rail and housing schemes against nimby opposition. Osborne implies he's up for the fight, in saying "our physical infrastructure is not nearly good enough, and previous governments ducked the difficult decisions". Apart from anything else it is typically a matter of shame and regret for British ministers that their habit of denigrating the French economy seems less compelling when French productivity is much higher than British, thanks in part to the higher quality of Gallic infrastructure. One implication is that as and when Sir Howard Davies's commission recommends there should be a new runway at Heathrow, the Chancellor and prime minister will not back away from approval, even in the face of opposition from Boris Johnson. Future prosperity So what else does the Chancellor say we need to do to get productivity moving belatedly in an upward direction? His list is "transport, broadband, planning, skills, ownership, childcare, red-tape, science, innovation, finance". Not much to do then. But the acknowledgement that "our future prosperity depends on it [sorting productivity]" will be applauded by the many economists who fear that for years they've been ignored as they bemoaned our productivity failure. Even so, don't expect the Chancellor to admit that his record in the last parliament was sub-optimal. He insisted: "I do know that I'd much rather have the productivity challenge than the challenge of mass unemployment". In other words, if to many it looks as though our economy put the cart before the horse, with dramatic falls in unemployment while productivity languished, George Osborne is grateful that employers put recruitment before investment in labour-saving kit.

Bath's recycling trucks 'overheating' during hot spell

Summary: Recycling trucks in the Bath area are being temporarily rested due to the heatwave damaging the electrical circuits of the waste compactors.

Bath and North East Somerset Council has said as a result more trucks are being drafted in for its collections. Overheated circuit boards for the waste compactors are now being modified to help them cope with the heatwave. The council said this was a problem other councils were facing in the UK. Cabinet member Martin Veal added: "We ask residents to bear with us. "This is an issue local authorities across the country are having to deal with during this spell of exceptionally high temperatures." Recycling and waste collections are set to return to normal as soon as possible, the council added.

Cornwall: In or Out?

Summary: Over the last 15 years, Cornwall has received more than £1bn of EU structural investment. Don't worry if that fact has passed you by. Plenty of the people I met in Cornwall appear to be unaware of it too.

By Katie RazzallSpecial correspondent, BBC Newsnight I'm testing out how the EU impacts on people's lives for a Newsnight series, Referendum Road. First stop, five hours by train from Westminster, even further by plane from Brussels, was Penzance. From the Europhiles' perspective, Cornwall has lots to thank Europe for. The Council of Europe gave Cornish protected minority language status back in 2002 and Cornish clotted cream and pasties are among the local delicacies given special EU protection. And then there's the small matter of millions of pounds. But Matthew Lobb, a 26-year-old volunteer, told me: "Living down here, it's just a dead end… I haven't heard of no money being put into Cornwall." Lynn Watson, a resident on Penzance's Treneere estate, said: "I don't know where the money from the EU has gone, but it hasn't come here." She then added that she doesn't want to leave the EU. Last year, Treneere was designated as the most deprived area of Cornwall. I visited the Whole Again Communities project, running a soup kitchen for anyone in need, and met Brian Collett, who was on his way back from a local food bank. Life's been tough since he left the navy and he told me he's homeless and now living in a tent. "But I suppose a tent is better than a doorway," he said. "And they do keep telling me the sun is going to come out." On the deprivation index, parts of Cornwall are poorer than regions of Poland, Lithuania and Hungary and, because of that, it's eligible for EU funds. The aim is to have a long-term impact on the economy. Between 2000 and 2014, £888m was invested in Cornwall from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF). The money has financed infrastructure projects, airports, universities, road widening schemes, superfast broadband and local businesses. Another £486m has been earmarked between 2014 and 2020. But when it comes to the referendum, it appears hard cash doesn't automatically buy loyalty. Europe 'not locally democratic' As Stephen Cummins, a Penzance resident buying his fish from a local door-to-door salesman, put it: "My initial reaction was to get out, even though Cornwall has had all these millions - because I'm thinking nationally. But I'm still not certain, there are too many unknowns." The unknowns of a Brexit (there is no word for that in Cornish) were one explanation given by folk who told me they'll vote to stay in. But I also found plenty threatening to vote to leave. As in so many coastal areas, the fishing fraternity are keen "outers". They talk of the good old days before EU quotas, but it's not only about fish. Martin Clive, who runs Newlyn Fish Co, told me: "I don't like the way Europe doesn't feel locally democratic." Darren Shah, busy filleting the fish that had been bought at dawn at Newlyn market to send to the more lucrative London market, said: "It's time we looked after ourselves." A YouGov survey suggested Cornwall is veering Eurosceptic as we head towards 23 June. Part of the issue may be that the EU doesn't obviously appear to trumpet its investment. Unlike in some other parts of Europe, I barely saw that blue EU sign with its familiar yellow stars. EU 'benefits Cornwall' One exception is Carley's Organic Foods. Based just outside Truro, it is one of more than 25,000 Cornish businesses to have benefited from ERDF investment. On the wall outside its new sustainable premises, part-funded by the EU, there's a little EU logo. Owner John Carley explained that the £300,000 investment boosted turnover significantly and meant the firm could expand from three to nine employees in a place where every job counts. He's worried that the Cornish - and the British in general - will vote to leave the EU: "I suppose there's a degree of contrariness in Cornwall. We don't like to be told what to do. I sincerely hope the people of Cornwall in the majority will realise the benefits we get from being in the EU," he said. Cornwall is the only English area that has access to this extra EU structural investment, because its GDP is less than 75% of the EU member average. The county has less than 1% of the UK population, but the funds earmarked in the six years up to 2020 account for 5% of the EU's UK investment. It's a substantial sum and some here are worried that the county - and the nation - could be heading for Brexit without properly considering the consequences. Susan Stuart spent the best part of two years renovating Penzance's Chapel House, which she's turned into a hotel. She's backing local regeneration plans, which include hopes for new flood defences, cycle paths and a digital hub. She told me they couldn't fund this without going to Europe and an out vote means "we wouldn't get the funding". Something for the Cornish to mull over as they get closer to referendum day.

Whispers, secrets, and the return of anonymity on the web

Summary: As our identities become more entrenched on the web, a slew of apps want us to return to an earlier era of anonymity on the internet. But can apps such as Secret - which has just launched on Android - really keep our identities, well, secret?

By Kim GittlesonBBC technology reporter, New York Think back to an AOL chatroom. Wait for the modem to sing its song, click the connect button, find a room - and inevitably, the first question you're asked as soon as you log in is "a/s/l?" - age/sex/location. In other words: "Who are you?" For many people, this was the defining feature of the internet: anonymity. A place where screen names and loose identification protocols made the web, by default, an opaque place. Today, our digital identities adhere ever more closely to our real lives, with Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allowing real-time and often permanent imprints of our existence. While alleviating one concern - identification - they have created another: is there any way to be open on the internet anymore, without fear of reprisal? That is why a whole host of firms are arguing that it is time to return to, or at least make space for, anonymity. The best version "You look at all of these services like Facebook and Instagram, and they're all about let me show you the best version of me," argues Whisper co-founder Michael Heyward. "It's essentially this highlight reel - Whisper is about showing people the behind the scenes stuff that we're not always comfortable posting on Facebook." Whisper allows users to download an app and then post anonymous statements - everything from "do you like this outfit?" to "I'm worried I suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder". Users can then like statements they identify with or think are funny. Mr Heyward likens it to the Catholic concept of a confession - but a confession that also operates as a business. Whisper has raised over $60m (£36m) since being founded two years ago. "I think we're really well positioned to own anonymity," he says. Big business But Mr Heyward isn't the only one to realise that both the intrusion of social networks into our "real lives" and the Edward Snowden US government spying revelations have led to an increased desire for anonymity on the web. And, of course, capitalising on that desire for anonymity could be big business. Secret, founded in October and launched in January by two former Google employees, Chrys Bader-Wechseler and David Byttow, has already raised $11.5m. Unlike Whisper, it accesses your phone's contacts and only shows you Secrets from friends or friends of friends. It was a hit with iPhone users in Silicon Valley, where they posted juicy titbits, including news of which tech start-ups had been bought for millions and, most notably, broke news of layoffs at Nike. And the app has just been made available in all countries both on iOS and Android. Mr Bader-Wecheseler says that the duo didn't design the app with the concept of whistle-blowing in mind. But now "we constantly ask ourselves is whistle-blowing important, and we think so". Marketing gimmick But thinking whistle-blowing is important and promising anonymity are two very different things. "The problem with apps on mobile phones is that, well, it's a mobile phone," says Runi Sandvik, a technologist at the Center for Democracy and Technology. "It's tied to you in some way or another and this identifier is often passed to the makers of these applications. So even if these apps on their website are promising you anonymity, if asked or required they will hand over your information to law enforcement." Ms Sandvik says that promises of anonymity are thus essentially a "marketing gimmick" because "you don't want to advertise an app that promises semi-anonymity". And it is not just users who could find themselves in hot water. University of Maryland law professor James Grimmelman notes that Snapchat, the self-deleting photo messaging app, recently got into hot water with US authorities over promises that images could not be stored. "If users can be identified you cannot promise anonymity," he says. He adds that the Nike leak also could cause legal issues, including leaking trade secrets and raising questions about insider trading. Getting swept along That's why perhaps "it's more about pseudo-nymity - the ability to have a real identity but being able to turn it off when you want to," says Dil-Domine Leonares, founder of an app called Breakr, which allows users anonymously join chatrooms based on their location. That is a sentiment echoed, in some part, by Secret's founders, who insist the app isn't all about whistle-blowing. "Facebook trained us to curate our identity - I think Secret can train us in empathy," says Mr Bader-Wechseler. But that assumes - or presumes - that what people have to share is not mean, or slanderous, or just simply banal. One recent Secret read: "Just spent 45 min trying to teach my cat a trick. He didn't get it. We'll work on it tomorrow." Not exactly the stuff that moves mountains. But then again, scroll down a bit and I found "Twitch.tv is rumored to have been acquired for $1b. Any big paydays for non-execs?" - something a bit more up my alley as a technology journalist. Scroll down once more, this time on Whisper, and I found out that the ex-wife of a prominent technology executive was now dating. And therein lies the question: are these apps about sharing feelings that can't be expressed publicly, leaking corporate secrets, or, simply trading in something that pre-dates the iPhone: gossip? There's also the less philosophical, more practical issue, the word that is almost never spoken in the bubbly world of Silicon Valley: profits. "We think about it every now and then but we haven't invested resources in solving this problem," says Mr Bader-Wechseler.

China's propaganda war over dying Nobel Prize Winner Liu Xiaobo

Summary: He is China's number one dissident, described in the press here as a criminal, for others a hero of Chinese democracy. Either way, Liu Xiaobo's collapsing body is at the heart of a struggle to control the message over the meaning of his fast approaching death.

By Stephen McDonellBBC News, Beijing China's dying Nobel Peace Prize winner is at the centre of an information war. The country's state-run media say Liu Xiaobo's cancer "mustn't be politicised" as they publish leaked recordings of him under surveillance while in jail and now in hospital. International human rights groups say they are dismayed he is still being held under guard to the very end and the German government says China's security forces are running the treatment of this terminally ill patient rather than doctors. The truth is that the Chinese government knows this all looks bad. Not since Nazi Germany has a Nobel Peace Prize winner died while in custody and that is exactly what is unfolding here. Bedside show Following a diagnosis of terminal, late-stage liver cancer, Chinese officials moved him from prison to hospital to see out his remaining days under guard but with better medical care. Nobody is doubting the genuine effort of the Chinese doctors who have tried to help Liu Xiaobo nor their professional capability. But the German government says they are not running the show around Liu Xiaobo's bed at Shenyang's First Hospital of China Medical University. That has been the job of China's state security forces. And it has been a show. According to a statement from the German Embassy, when one of the country's doctors came to help, audio and video surveillance of this meeting was recorded despite prior written German requests that no such recordings be made. Then this material was selectively leaked to Chinese state media in order to get out the message that his treatment had been humane. Eleven years Liu Xiaobo has been held since soon after the Beijing Olympics in 2008. He was given an eleven-year jail term for "inciting subversion of state power" after he and others co-authored a manifesto called "Charter '08" advocating a sweeping democratic overhaul of China's system of government. One of the most risky things you could possibly do in China is promote any form of organising around the overthrow of Communist Party monopoly power. While in custody in 2010 he won the Nobel Peace Prize which was awarded to an empty chair in his absence. Who is Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo? The love that survived a Chinese labour camp In recent times Liu Xiaobo's health has been deteriorating. Since his cancer diagnosis, Western governments and human rights groups have called for him to be allowed to go overseas for better treatment. Chinese officials have responded that he is too unwell to travel yet two foreign doctors, after visiting the hospital, contradicted this diagnosis. As a compromise, China has allowed two international specialists to come and see him in Shenyang. Foreign offers After their initial visit, Dr Joseph Herman from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Dr Markus Büchler, chairman of Heidelberg University's Surgery Department, released a statement: "Liu Xiaobo and his family have requested that the remainder of his care be provided in Germany or the United States. "While a degree of risk always exists in the movement of any patient, both physicians believe Mr. Liu can be safely transported with appropriate medical evacuation care and support. "However, the medical evacuation would have to take place as quickly as possible. The University of Heidelberg and MD Anderson have each agreed to accept Mr. Liu for treatment." The Chinese government has not agreed to allow this to happen. Instead it has been releasing footage of Liu Xiaobo appearing to say on camera that Chinese doctors have treated him well and that some of his symptoms pre-date his incarceration. The clip of surveillance footage with the foreign team of doctors achieves the same effect. Standard gagging procedure Liu Xiaobo is shown lying in bed with a small crowd of medical staff and others around him. Dr Büchler is seen speaking to Liu Xiaobo's wife, Liu Xia, who is standing at the bottom of his bed with her back to the camera. "It's very, very good that the doctors from China have asked us to come and help," he says in English. "So they are very committed to the treatment of your husband. They want us to help and I think this is a very nice gesture." Liu Xia does not reply and must appear distressed because the American doctor says "Are you OK?" as he reaches out to comfort her. When asked about requests that China's most influential dissident be allowed to travel overseas for medical help the response from the Chinese government has been that this is an internal matter for this country and that others should simply mind their own business. At the regular foreign ministry press briefing on Monday, eight of the 17 questions to the spokesperson were about Liu Xiaobo but, when the official transcript of the press conference appeared on the ministry's website, all questions relating to Liu had been removed. This is standard procedure for the authorities here when it comes to sensitive subjects. Promote your own line (foreign doctors praising their Chinese counterparts), and shut down all discussion which contradicts it (foreign doctors saying he can travel overseas or German government saying surgeons not in charge of his care). The unknown Nobel As an exercise I have been asking "ordinary" Chinese people in recent days about Liu Xiaobo. My questions were met with a blank expression - er, who? People do not even seem to know that China has had a Nobel Peace Prize winner. When Western journalists visited the hospital in Shenyang and asked the nurses on duty where Liu Xiaobo was, they not only could not find his name on the database but appeared to have never heard of him, along the lines of "Sorry could you spell that name again? Why have so many people have been asking about this man? Who is he?" For the Chinese government this represents mission accomplished. As for the country's reputation overseas they will just plan to ride this one out like they have with other unpleasant subjects.

Blackberry boss - don't underestimate us

Summary: The last time I met a Blackberry boss it ended rather badly. Eighteen months ago Mike Lazaridis, then co-CEO of RIM, took exception to a question and terminated our encounter . So I was very grateful that Thorsten Heins, now in sole charge, agreed to meet me this week and give me so much of his time.

Rory Cellan-JonesTechnology correspondent@BBCRoryCJon Twitter He took over in January, after Mr Lazaridis and his co-CEO Jim Balsillie stepped down, battered by the crisis at the Blackberry company which probably explained the tensions of our interview the previous spring. With its share of the smartphone market heading south and investors agitated about the precipitous fall in the share price, Mr Heins faced an unenviable challenge. When I asked him how much progress he made, he took me through a list of management changes and restructuring initiatives. But he knows his real challenge is to turn around perceptions of Blackberry. Last week the New York Times ran a feature which could hardly have been more damaging, suggesting that Blackberry owners were now ashamed of their devices. In the city where every Wall Street banker and hotshot lawyer once flaunted this symbol of their need to be connected to their email 24/7, this was hurtful stuff. When I brought up the article, Mr Heins insisted it was poorly researched and far from the truth: "80 million users that are loyal is a different testament." But as if to highlight the huge problem that Blackberry has in the United States, he went on: "What I see in my markets outside the US is huge growth, huge commitment to Blackberry." But there appears to be no growth and no commitment in the US - indeed, figures show that RIM's smartphone market share keeps on falling, down another 3% between May and August this year. Blackberry is still a very respected brand across the developing world - but it is undeniable that it has lost its cachet in the US and Europe. Turning that around and pulling the company out of its death spiral all depends on a new operating system, Blackberry 10. Mr Heins gave me a demo, telling me that this was a "whole new paradigm" in mobile operating systems. Unlike the pattern set by Apple's first iPhone, where a user has to continually go in and out of a menu of apps, Blackberry 10's trick is something called Flow. This enables you to move seamlessly between a whole range of apps, heading from an email to your calendar to a social network without returning to a home screen. The key difference, though, is that RIM has finally surrendered fully to the touchscreen experience, having insisted for years that a physical keyboard was integral to its appeal. There will still be devices with keys to tap but Mr Heins indicated that the buttonless Blackberry was the future. The CEO and his executive team have been travelling the globe spreading the gospel of Blackberry 10 to developers - who will provide the apps on which its appeal depends - and the mobile operators who will sell it to consumers. He said there had been plenty of support. But here's the rub - the new system won't be available until the first quarter of next year, and that may be too late. With every passing week, more consumers choose Android or Apple phones, and even more crucially, more corporations switch away from Blackberry. The management consultants Booz Allen and US Customs are amongst the recent deserters. Winning them back will be a lot harder than losing them. But Mr Heins remained resolutely cheery. "Quality matters," he insisted when I suggested RIM had already missed the boat. "We're not just building an update of Blackberry 7, we're building a whole new mobile computing platform. Don't underestimate the dynamic that this platform is going to create in the market." And he made this bold claim: "In the US we are going to regain our market share with Blackberry 10." With Android and Apple now grabbing most of that market, the road back looks hard - and that is if you ignore the much better-funded Windows Phone platform. I know plenty of people who are anything but ashamed to own a Blackberry - as I left my office to interview Mr Heins, a colleague told me to tell him he couldn't live without his. But a brand that has been left behind in a fast-changing world has only a short time to turn things around.

Miscarriage: 'I just felt like it was my fault'

Summary: An estimated one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage - although there are no official statistics and the true figure could be lower or even higher. Many couples will never reveal they have had a miscarriage, but here, three women and one man describe the shock, guilt and distress they felt after losing their babies.

By Caroline LowbridgeBBC News When Emily Daft described being left heartbroken by a miscarriage and her treatment by the hospital it prompted many other women to share their own experiences. Mrs Daft started bleeding but was told she could not be seen by the hospital that day, and the miscarriage was only confirmed by a scan at a private IVF clinic. She later passed her baby "in agony" at home. Many couples suffer "silent grief" after losing their babies, according to Ruth Bender Atik, national director of the Miscarriage Association. "It's the loss of a baby however early in the pregnancy it was, and they sometimes carry that around with them, either because they are embarrassed or because they feel like they must have done something to cause it," she says. Partly because of this silence, Ms Bender Atik believes many couples do not realise how likely miscarriage is. "When you start learning about biology and pregnancy - you may learn for example about how not to get pregnant - there's not often much talked about what happens when pregnancies go wrong," she says. "Few people know how common it is and most people are really shocked if it happens to them, really, really shocked." However, people cope with miscarriage differently. "For some people miscarriage is absolutely devastating, and for some people at the other extreme miscarriage is just a blip in their pregnancy history and they move on," says Ms Bender Atik. "But it also has to be said there are some people for whom miscarriage might be a relief if this is a pregnancy they really didn't want and they were thinking of terminating." Here, one woman describes the devastation of her first miscarriage, another explains how a miscarriage contributed to the breakdown of her marriage, and a couple explain how talking openly has helped them both. 'I thought it might come back alive' "Some people say it's not really a baby if it's not fully grown but it is. It is still a child. It still had a heartbeat. It was still inside me growing." Jackie Fretwell was 18 years old when she had her first of seven miscarriages in 1999. When she became pregnant Jackie did not consider the possibility of losing her baby. Nobody talked about miscarriage back then, she says. Even when she started bleeding from her vagina Jackie did not think she might be having a miscarriage. Even when she had a scan, and was told her baby had no heartbeat, Jackie refused the offer of surgery to remove it. "Even though I was 10 weeks pregnant its heart had stopped at nine," she says. "They offered to remove the baby. I think I actually thought it might come back alive and I said 'No, not yet'." Jackie left the hospital and went home with her baby still inside her. It would have been her first child and she was utterly devastated to lose it. "I had already chosen my pushchair and my Moses basket. I had gone overboard because I had never thought about miscarriage ever," she says. "Your world falls apart right there and then. Things go through your head, like you are worthless, you can't do anything, you can't even carry children." Jackie says she received no support from the health system because she was "just classed as miscarrying a foetus", but she found that talking to family and friends helped her get through it. "It took a lot because I was a mess. I would cry and cry," she says. "You think that there might be something wrong with you as a person." Jackie became pregnant again and had a daughter, now 17, and despite having a further six miscarriages she has given birth to a further four healthy children. She now makes a conscious effort to talk more openly about miscarriage, and she no longer blames herself. "I think you get stronger and you just want to be there for people because then some of my friends went through miscarriages," she says. "I knew what they were feeling so I could relate to them and speak to them about it. And it helps, it helps to talk." Miscarriage: The loss of about one in four pregnancies Source: Miscarriage Association 'I just felt like it was my fault' Laura Bellamy says she still does not know how her ex-husband feels about the loss of their baby. They separated two years later, in March 2015, and she feels the miscarriage contributed to this. "We didn't talk about it at all," she says. "It felt like I had done something wrong - I ate something, I lifted something heavy I shouldn't have. I just felt like it was my fault, that I lost our baby. "I know he cried because he came home and did have a cry and then as he said he 'manned up and got on with stuff'." The couple already had a son together, now aged 11, but had been trying for another child for at least two years. "It just felt like I couldn't carry another child for him," Laura says. "It got to the point where I couldn't stand him in the room. I couldn't stand him touching me or anything. "It was like a delayed reaction to what happened." 10 miscarriages in 10 years: One couple's heartbreak Are men forgotten in miscarriage? Losing a pregnancy in Iraq changed how I see miscarriage Research has suggested that the standard of care for mothers experiencing the end of a pregnancy varies widely, and academics have called for a "standardised approach". Laura feels her miscarriage was more distressing because of how she was treated by the hospital. "I was stuck in A&E for eight hours while I was heavily bleeding and all they gave me was two paracetamols for the pain," she says. She was six to seven weeks pregnant at that point. The hospital did a test which indicated she was still pregnant, so she was sent home to rest. "Two days after I went home I went to the toilet and that's when I miscarried because it landed in the toilet and like the silly girl that I was I scooped it up and put it in a box," she says. "My friend took me back to the hospital and they said it was a blood clot, but I knew in my mind that was my baby." She returned to the hospital again the following day for a scan, but the woman who called her name was heavily pregnant. "I didn't think that was right at all," she says. "I stood there and said I wanted somebody else to scan me, and they got somebody else to scan me, and that's when they told me I had miscarried." Before her miscarriage, Laura did not know how common they are. "I would have been able to talk to people if I'd known what other people had gone through," she says. "I felt very sad, I had a couple of weeks off work. I had a son to look after so I just put it in the back of my mind and got on with things and cried privately. "I didn't go to any support groups or anything, I just carried on." 'This is a possibility, not a pregnancy' Phill Johnson should have been celebrating his birthday when his wife Alice was lying in a hospital bed, having lost their baby and almost bled to death. He found the experience in December so "horrific" he does not want Alice to tell him if she becomes pregnant again. "Personally it kind of tore me apart inside but you can't show your missus that because you've got to be strong for her." "I don't want to know until she's at least four months," says Phill. "I don't want to get excited about having a new baby and then something like that happens. I can't deal with that again." Alice's experience was particularly difficult because she had to make her own way to hospital by tram, after being told she could not get an ambulance. "The tram was covered in blood," says Alice. "I had got members of the public trying to keep their eyes down trying to avert their attention. "It was incredibly embarrassing. The pain was nothing in comparison. It felt like my dignity had been torn away from me. "It was the blood and where it was coming from. It's just undignified. Childbirth isn't the most dignified thing in the world, but I wasn't having a child, I was losing one." Alice had lost five pints of blood by the time she got to hospital, due to a tear in her womb, but despite the huge physical trauma she has coped surprisingly well emotionally. She attributes this to already having known about the risk of miscarriage. "My sister has been through miscarriage a few times," she says. "So as soon as I had that little bit of bleeding I knew there was something going wrong. Then when it completely burst I knew that was it. There was no chance that a child was surviving that." She believes miscarriage would be "less devastating" for younger women in particular if they were aware of how common it is. "They would be less anxious about their pregnancy knowing that you've got to think of it as 'this is a possibility, not a pregnancy'," she says. Phill has talked to "maybe one friend" about the miscarriage. "Men should be able to talk about these sort of things but society has kind of groomed you not to," he says. "I've seen young men where the loss of a child has made them lose the plot. It sends them mad upstairs, they become disconnected from friends, from family, from their girlfriend, wife. "Men shut down and it's not a good thing for a man to shut down because it's very difficult for a man to open up again. "A loss of a child is obviously a horrible thing to feel, but men don't talk about this sort of thing and it drives you crazy in your head, simply because you have to be tough, you can't show emotion." He also believes it's crucial for couples to support each other through it. "Families break up because of this and it shouldn't be like that at all," he says. "She becomes depressed because the closest person to her would have been her husband and he probably doesn't talk. He probably shut down, switched off, didn't want to talk about it because it's too painful. But you can't do that. "You have to talk about these things, no matter how much it hurts. Cry on each other's shoulders. Hug each other until you fall asleep. Both of you have got to remain and stick with each other and keep that close bond with one another, otherwise you will drift apart."

Germany marks 20 years as reunified nation

Summary: Germany has been celebrating the 20th anniversary of its reunification.

Chancellor Angela Merkel led the official celebrations, hosted by the northern city of Bremen and attended by tens of thousands of people. Capitalist West and communist East Germany merged on 3 October 1990, nearly a year after the fall of the Berlin Wall which divided them. Sunday is also the day Germany makes the last payment on debt stemming from reparations imposed after World War I. 'Solidarity tax' Mrs Merkel was joined by many leading German and international figures in Bremen to mark one of the 20th Century's historical turning points. German President Christian Wulff told the assembled dignitaries: "We remember the momentous day that a people experience only rarely. I bow before everyone who fought for freedom... your courage moved the world." He called for a "new solidarity" that encompassed Christianity, Judaism and Islam. "We must not allow the cementing of prejudice and exclusion," he said. On the eve of the anniversary, US President Barack Obama passed on his congratulations and said Germany was "one of our closest allies and greatest friends". He said the US honoured "the courage and conviction of the German people that brought down the Berlin Wall, ending decades of painful and artificial separation". Mrs Merkel, who was brought up in the East, praised former East Germans for fighting for their freedom. She added: "At the same time, there was a huge wave of solidarity from the people in West Germany. It is thanks to these joint efforts that we have been able to rebuild so quickly and make Germany a country that is respected in the world." Since the two countries became one, more than 1.5 million people have migrated west. The BBC's Stephen Evans in Berlin says opinion polls show some unhappiness in the west about the so-called "solidarity tax" on incomes to pay for eastern reconstruction but on both sides of the country the polls indicate a big majority in favour of a united Germany. However, not everyone welcomed the reunification festivities. Thousands of police were deployed in Bremen on Saturday as some 1,800 mainly left-wing activists marched through the city in protest. The demonstration passed off peacefully. Sunday also marks the final day of German reparations for World War I. A last payment of 70 million euros (£60m) will draw the debt to a close. In 1919, the victorious allies wanted to ensure Germany would not be capable of war for many years and set reparations at the equivalent of 100,000 tonnes of gold. But the plan backfired, with modern-day historians claiming the decision was a key factor in the lead-up to World War II.

Crowdfunding pays hospital bills of injured India girl

Summary: A crowdfunding site in India has raised more than 1.6 million rupees ($24,976; £17,680) for a four-year-old girl who was critically injured after a drunk man fell on her from a three-storey building.

The girl, Dhanyashri Sridhar, is still recovering in hospital. The fund, only a week old, has received money from more than a thousand people. It was launched by a group of young men who live in the same neighbourhood as the Sridhars in Chennai city. "It feels good to know she is recovering," said Sathish Kumar Mohan, one of the men who helped launch the crowdfunding campaign. Mr Mohan, a 30-year-old software engineer, told the BBC that he and his friends found out about the accident through a group on WhatsApp. The group has about 20 participants, all of whom live in the neighbourhood of Old Washermanpet. One of the members messaged on 30 January, saying a little girl had been badly injured and her family needed help. Mr Mohan said this was not unusual because they had collected money or mobilised help in the past by spreading messages through WhatsApp groups. Messages on WhatsApp, especially on groups, travel quickly in India where the messaging platform has more than 200 million monthly active users. But this time, Mr Mohan said, they needed a lot more money. Dhanyashri had fractures in her spine and her legs, and she also needed surgery. That's when some of Mr Mohan's friends suggested creating an online campaign that would crowdsource funds. "They told me, it will help you reach out to many more people," he said. Mr Mohan first contacted the girl's father, A Sridhar, over the phone. Then he met him personally to explain that they were raising money to help Dhanyashri. Mr Sridhar told the BBC that he hopes his daughter will recover soon. He added that he wanted to thank everyone for the money they have contributed. The campaign was launched on 31 January with photos of Dhanyashri and details of what happened. It's done "exceptionally well" considering it only launched on January 31, Arti Rajan, the communication officer for the crowdfunding platform, told BBC. She said the donations varied from $1.56 to $780. Now, the fund is just $6,000 short of its target: $31, 200. It has 24 days left to reach the goal. He is still in touch with Dhanyashri's father, Mr Sridhar. "I spoke to him last night and he told me she woke up and recognised her sister," Mr Mohan said. "He said she is eating again and they gave her some dosa with milk."

By Andy McFarlaneBBC News Rubbish criminals Fly-tipping might not sound like the stuff of master criminals but one Environment Agency manager is calling the problem "the new narcotics". Gangs posing as legitimate waste disposal businesses are using lock-cutters to break into private land and even hiring buildings to dump clients' waste, an investigation reveals. Large-scale tipping - quantified as a dumper-truck load or bigger - has more than doubled in six years. And councils in England spent £12.8m clearing more than 36,200 large tips last year. For the National Farmers Union, it's a "nightmare". Countryside Alliance head of policy Sarah Lee says tougher sentences are needed, while Keep Britain Tidy argues local authorities must be better resourced to deal with it. "Networks of career criminals" are involved, according to the government, which says the rise could partly be down to better recording. However, Country, Land and Business Association boss Sarah Hendry, says the introduction of fees at many recycling centres has contributed to the problem. Deadliest day China has suffered its deadliest day at the hands of the coronavirus outbreak, with 242 deaths in the province of Hubei on Wednesday. It pushes the national death toll above 1,350, with almost 60,000 infections in total. Hubei - home to the city of Wuhan, where the outbreak began - is now using a broader definition to diagnose people, which partly accounts for the steep rise. Meanwhile, in the UK, all 83 people who have spent a fortnight quarantined at Arrowe Park Hospital on the Wirral will be allowed to leave later, having been told their final tests have come back negative. It comes after the UK recorded its ninth case. Health correspondent Nick Triggle examines Britain's race to contain the virus.

With an eye on gender balance, the prime minister is expected to promote several women, including Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Suella Braverman and Gillian Keegan. Meanwhile, Michael Gove is being touted for a role overseeing Brexit trade talks. Why an ancient German city was destroyed in 1945 By Toby Luckhurst, BBC News On 13 February 1945, British aircraft launched an attack on the eastern German city of Dresden. In the days that followed, they and their US allies would drop nearly 4,000 tons of bombs in the assault. The ensuing firestorm killed 25,000 people, ravaging the city centre, sucking the oxygen from the air and suffocating people trying to escape. The bombing has become one of the most controversial Allied acts of World War Two. Even British Prime Minister Winston Churchill expressed doubts immediately after the attack. "It seems to me that the moment has come when the question of bombing of German cities simply for the sake of increasing the terror, though under other pretexts, should be reviewed," he wrote in a memo.

Paris Airshow: Boeing and Airbus under pressure

Summary: The Paris airport of Le Bourget was once a pretty glamorous place. It was here that aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh landed after his solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927, and it was a gateway to the French capital for Hollywood legends such as Audrey Hepburn for many years.

By Theo LeggettBusiness correspondent, BBC News Those days are long gone. Surrounded by drab suburbs and urban motorways it now caters mainly for private jets, whose passengers spend as little time as possible amid its rather bleak and windswept surroundings - although it does have a rather good aviation museum. But for the next week Le Bourget will become the beating heart of the global aerospace industry. Scores of politicians - including newly elected President Macron - generals and chief executives will be among the hundreds of thousands of visitors, braving horrendous traffic and negotiating tight security to attend the 52nd Paris Air Show. So what will be the main talking points in the plush chalets and teeming exhibition halls this year? Traditionally, the headlines are dominated by big order announcements from home favourite Airbus and the US aerospace giant Boeing, but the market is far less frothy than it used to be. Global aircraft orders have declined by about half since their peak in 2014. Low oil prices mean that airlines are under less pressure to replace old aircraft with newer, more efficient models. So we may see fewer announcements. That isn't a huge problem in itself - both manufacturers already have bulging order books, and both have struggled with supply chain problems, causing delays on the production line. So a reduction in demand may be no bad thing. However that doesn't apply across the board. The giant A380 superjumbo is the flagship of the Airbus fleet - and its appearance is usually a highlight of the air display. But it isn't selling well and last year the company halved its annual production. It would doubtless love to announce further orders in Paris but that seems very unlikely. In fact, some are questioning whether the aircraft has a future at all. In the circumstances, Airbus could well find itself upstaged by its American rival. Boeing is expected to set out details of a planned new mid-sized aircraft, a super-efficient model which will sit between the largest 737 and the smallest 787 in its range. Meanwhile the latest in a series of heavily upgraded 737 models - the Max 10 - is likely to be formally launched at the show. Yet the two established giants could be forgiven for looking nervously over their shoulders. China's Comac and Russia's Irkut have both begun testing new airliners over the past few weeks. Neither the C-919 nor the MC-21 will be at the show - but they will certainly be talked about. The market for smaller jets is about to become a lot more crowded. While most of the actual business at Le Bourget is done in the chalets and exhibition halls, the flying display allows companies to show off their latest multi-billion dollar technology. Among the highlights this year will be the F-35 Lightning II, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter. It is the product of the world's most expensive defence programme, an international effort led by the US contractor Lockheed Martin - and one which has been beset by delays and cost overruns. It badly needs some good PR, so it can be expected to put on a spectacular show. Elsewhere, much of the talk will focus on new technology. Outwardly, aircraft may have changed little over the past few decades. But the way in which they are designed, built, maintained and operated has been transformed. That trend is likely to accelerate. Many of the exhibitors will be showing how virtual reality, augmented reality and 3D printing are already having a major impact on different parts of the industry - and suggesting how their potential could be exploited even further. For some the future lies in Big Data; analysing huge reams of information to detect patterns, create models and to predict future performance. "The amount of data this industry generates is massive and growing," says John Schmidt, managing director of Accenture's aerospace and defence business. "A single flight by a Boeing 787 generates enough data to fill about 200 DVDs", he says. "But very little of that data is actually used." Big data, he thinks, can transform the way aerospace companies operate. The organisers of the show, Gifas, are also keen to show off their futuristic credentials. For that reason, they have set up an "Air Lab" dedicated to new technology and ideas, from both established companies and start-ups. With a rather nice touch, they've put it inside Le Bourget's Concorde Hall - an area dominated by two models of the supersonic airliner that was once ahead of its time, is now obsolete, but still manages to look outrageously futuristic.

Does WWII wreck SS Richard Montgomery threaten Thames airport?

Summary: As the deadline looms for submissions to a review of Britain's future aviation policy, does a wartime wreck still packed with explosives prove the biggest threat to those wanting to build a super-airport in the Thames Estuary?

By Peter SherlockBBC News Three masts visible above the waterline signal its menacing presence - a shipwreck packed with wartime bombs resting on a sandbank in a busy shipping route. The SS Richard Montgomery, a cargo ship built in Florida to carry vital supplies for the war effort, was anchored in Sheerness, Kent, when it grounded and broke up in 1944. For almost 70 years it has rested on a sandbank with 1,400 tonnes of explosives on board, monitored 24-hours a day by port authorities and protected by a 500m (1640ft) exclusion zone. Successive governments have wrestled with the problem of what to do with the wreck, which lies in 50ft (15m) of shallow water about 1.2 miles (2km) off the coast. Floating airport But the question of its safety has been brought in to sharp relief by the debate over the future of Britain's aviation policy - and the possible construction, about 1.5 miles (2.4km) away, of an airport handling almost triple the number of passengers as Heathrow. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) insists the wreck is being safely managed and the chance of an explosion is remote, but others have concerns that further deterioration, a collision with another vessel, or a terrorist attack could detonate its cargo. A commission chaired by ex-Financial Services Authority (FSA) boss Sir Howard Davies is to consider a number of options to expand airport capacity in the South East and report back in 2015. There have been three different plans put forward recently to build airports in the Thames Estuary, including a floating airport designed by architects Gensler. Another plan is known as Boris Island after it was backed by the London mayor, and there are proposals for a hub airport on the Isle of Grain, designed by architect Sir Norman Foster. Other ideas include the expansion of Gatwick, Heathrow or Stansted. Sir Norman's blueprint for a £50bn four-runway airport on the Isle of Grain - at the easternmost point of the Hoo peninsula - has been variously described as bold, visionary and "absolutely nuts". One of the most influential of modern architects, Sir Norman designed the terminal building at Stansted Airport, as well as Chek Lap Kok in Hong Kong, one of the world's largest airports. Now he wants to take his expertise to the Thames Estuary with plans for four runways and the capability to handle 150 million passengers a year. Britain's largest airport, Heathrow, handles 60 million. Sceptics point out that air traffic would approach from the north-east over the water - close to the Montgomery's resting place. The question asked by some is who would risk building the world's largest airport near a ticking time-bomb under the waves? Kielce explosion Currently, the wreck is managed and monitored by the coastguard agency on behalf of the Department for Transport (DfT). It is one of only two vessels in UK waters designated as dangerous under section two of the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973. The other, the SS Castilian, which sank off Anglesey, Wales, in 1943, is also closely monitored. It was carrying munitions to Lisbon, Portugal, when it struck East Platters Rocks and sank. The coastguard agency uses sonar equipment to carry out annual surveys of the Montgomery, and monitors its exclusion zone 24 hours a day. Following a structural survey in 2009, the MCA found that although the hull appeared to be "reasonably stable", a crack in one of the vessel's holds was "of concern". The latest survey reported: "The majority of the wreck's structure appears to be stable. Little sign of deterioration since 2009 was evident and only small changes were noted in the wreck's structure and the surrounding seabed." The agency believes the risk of moving the wreck, or attempting to remove the cargo, would increase the likelihood of an explosion. It has pursued a policy of non-interference since a botched attempt to remove the munitions from a Polish ship that sank in 1944. In 1967, the Folkestone Salvage Company was attempting to clear the Kielce when a large explosion ripped through the vessel. The seismic effects of the blast were recorded about 5,000 miles (8,000km) away. In Folkestone, slates were dislodged and windows smashed, but there were no injuries. Receiver of wreck Alison Kentuck said it was the general consensus that the munitions were "stable if left undisturbed". Though the management of the wreck was under "constant review", the current strategy was considered "the best and safest", she added. Others disagree. Local historian Colin Harvey's film about the wreck - A Disaster Waiting to Happen - is occasionally screened to residents on the Isle of Sheppey. He fears its cluster bombs could fall through the corroding upper deck and detonate the munitions below, leading to a blast that would "level buildings, burst eardrums and shatter windows". Mr Harvey said the blast could cause a tidal wave, flooding parts of the Isle of Sheppey, the Isle of Grain, perhaps even Canvey Island and Southend. In August 2004, a report in the New Scientist magazine said if the ship exploded it would be one of the biggest non-nuclear blasts ever seen and devastate the port of Sheerness, causing up to £1bn of damage. Mr Harvey added: "The population has lived with the wreck all these years and now (the problem) is brought into focus because of the airport. "The thinking is that if they build the airport then maybe they will deal with the wreck. It's going to have to be dealt with and the sooner the better." There are also question marks over the safety of the exclusion zone. One documentary filmmaker, who did not want to be named, told the BBC he was able to film the wreck from a rubber raft anchored to the outer warning buoy of the zone. "Neither the coastguard or police paid us any attention on the way out, while we were there, or on returning to shore," he said. Responding to the claims, a spokesman for the MCA said: "If people break the exclusion zone, and they are caught doing so, then they would be taken to task. But if he's not gone into the exclusion zone, then he's not done anything wrong." But what can be done to remove the threat posed by the wreck? According to experts, there are two possible options; carry out a controlled explosion or remove the munitions. Mark Hoddinot, general manager of the International Salvage Union, said the wreck could be moved if the will and financial muscle were there. 'Unknown territory' "There are a lot of legacy wrecks, hundreds of them, and the issue with most of them is who is going to pay to have them removed," he said. "The majority of the cost, if not all, is going to be met by taxpayers because the insurers have long since disappeared. "The main issue is the ammunition but in this technological age, there would be a way to remove that safely. The work itself does not present any major technological challenges, it would be relatively straightforward." Mr Hoddinot said ships sunk in the Iran-Iraq war during the 1980s were being safely removed from the Persian Gulf, despite having deteriorating explosives on board. Ian Biles, managing director of marine surveying company Maritime Services International, said the key question was whether the munitions had degraded to such an extent that they were safe to move. "There's always been this debate 'why not just blow it up and see what happens' because the water would act as a denting mechanism. "But I can understand why they have adopted the approach they have to leave it alone. It's unknown territory." The New Scientist report in 2004 also suggested one option would be to encase the wreck in tonnes of sand, deadening any potential explosion. A Fosters and Partners spokeswoman said the firm had done a thorough study of the wreck. "We have talked to bomb disposal experts and other experts about the SS Montgomery and its munitions cargo," she said. "These studies continue and all possibilities for the future of the ship will be explored." Last year, a spokesman for Boris Johnson said: "Clearly the wreck of the SS Montgomery would need to be considered however some of Britain's finest engineers have already closely studied the area and concluded it would not prevent construction of an airport." The Airports Commission will make its final report to the government in the summer of 2015.

The map of London that took 10 years to complete

Summary: A map of London that has been 10 years in the making is about to go on show in the latest exhibition at the Royal College of Art. According to the artist behind the work, Fuller, looking at his creation is like trying to "skim-read a magical surrealism book".

By Beth RoseBBC News Crammed full of life - featuring streets and buildings but also ladies under lampposts, the final resting place of Alan Turing and even planes and drones - London Town is a personal interpretation of the capital, referencing the booming heartbeat of its financial core and the tragedy of the 7 July bombings. "It's all a bit overwhelming, really," Fuller said, handing London Town over to the RCA. "I'm considered an outsider of the art world." When the artist - real name Gareth Wood - first put pen to paper in 2005, London was soon to win the Olympic bid, but the high of that victory was immediately punctured by the despair of 7/7. He said: "Some of the stories in there are highly personal: a girl I knew was unfortunately killed in the London bombings, but it's not something that others wouldn't have experienced." Before the creative work could begin, Fuller trudged the streets of London seeking inspiration, taking photographs and making videos, and spent hours in libraries poring over maps "After this intense research I begin drawing," he said. "Sometimes I'll just go ink to page, but with major landmarks sometimes I'll pencil them first to get an accuracy. "Certain things are very much where they are plotted but it's not geographically precise.... and there's only so much that can go on to the map. "You won't find Buckingham Palace on it, but if you look you will see Kensington Palace because there was space for it to go there to reference the royal heritage." Acquired by the British Library for its contemporary map collection, in terms of cartography London Town is "actually quite accurate", according to the artist. Tom Harper, curator of antiquarian mapping at the British Library, described the work as "one of the most personal pieces of cartography I've ever seen" and said it would be held alongside works by other contemporary artists including Grayson Perry. Four highlights of the map, as described by Fuller: The Aylesbury Estate in Camberwell is Europe's largest social housing development. Its brutalist design has a dramatic effect on visitors but this established community is battling daily with their uncertain future. I spent a short time documenting conversations with locals and photographing estates in south London. These vast housing complexes provoke fond memories from childhood, urban exploring and playing out with friends. The City is a crucial beating pulse. Its international workforce is connected through hyper-speed trading and from here London's global recognition in finance unfolds daily. It was many years ago that I watched traders on the LIFFE exchange by Cannon Street. Each would wear their own coloured jacket and were quicker than ninjas using signals to make deals. I delivered coffees as a work experience runner. The sheer buzz that belongs to the square mile is unique. The Cycle Superhighway weaves its way through Docklands above the new Island Development. The notion of raised bike routes seems less conceptual and maybe a necessity as urban planners hit melting point for space and cohesion across the city. The suffragettes symbol proudly pokes out in memory of the work done by Sylvia Pankhurst and activist history in the east of London. Nestled in west London is the picturesque stretch of Little Venice. Just a little north is the Colonnade Hotel, the birthplace of Alan Turing, the pioneering computer scientist. I've drawn a fictitious tomb inscribed with binary code - the very least I could do. As well as charting what he sees now, Fuller also thought about the future of the capital, studying its 2020 Vision to see how the city could change. "I was working with developers like Cathedral Group and they were brilliant in helping me. Then there's Crossrail and Crossrail 2 in the map, which hasn't been started yet, so I try and look into the future. "There are drones added to the map but it also drifts across time because there are ladies under lampposts in Fulham, because in the 18th Century it was rife for gambling and naughtiness. "There's so much in there, it's a little like trying to skim-read a magical surrealism book." As for London Town's worth Fuller claims he has not given much thought to it and has no intention of selling "unless someone wants to make a ridiculous offer". A print of the map costs £3,000. He said: "I'm hoping to keep hold of all the originals for a solo show in a decade or so, so I can just take them out of boxes and put them on the wall." Now he has completed his 10-year labour of love, Fuller is looking beyond the UK for his next project. He said: "There are plans to start drawing a new place in early 2016. It's undecided where exactly, but I have a wish list. I would like to do some of the South American cities in the future. The US would be really interesting, although the most likely at the moment is Barcelona." Wherever it may be "as an artist I will put my heart and soul into getting under the skin of the city", he says. "I'm trying to push the boundaries with the craft and hopefully I've done that and personalised it enough - I've put myself out there in a huge life documentary." London Town is on display in the Flux Exhibition at the Royal College of Art from 11- 14 December.
