Downing Street's intervention in Guantanamo case

Summary: Documents released in the High Court reveal splits in Whitehall over how to deal with British men held in Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11 - and how Downing Street over-ruled the Foreign Office over the handling of one detainee, Martin Mubanga.

By Steve SwannBBC News home affairs team Despite the successful overthrow of the Taliban in 2001, Western intelligence agencies feared that Al Qaeda operatives were planning follow-up attacks. In the spring of 2002, Martin Mubanga, a British convert to Islam, was arrested in the African state of Zambia having previously spent time in Afghanistan. Within days of his detention he was being interviewed by an MI5 officer who called himself "Tony." His report to London reveals that he did not believe his suspect's account of how he got out of Afghanistan after 9/11. He suspected that "it is possible that MM left Afghanistan with some form of tasking." MI5 feared Mr Mubanga had been sent by extremists in London for terrorism training in Afghanistan - and was now planning to attack Jewish organisations, an allegation he has always denied. Security dilemma But the UK now had a dilemma. Mr Mubanga was being held by a foreign power - and London had to decide what to do with him. Eliza Manningham-Buller, MI5's then director general, wrote to top officials at the Home Office that: "We fear, and the Anti-Terrorist branch of the Metropolitan Police (SO13) have since confirmed, that there is insufficient evidence at present to charge Mubanga if he were to be returned to the UK." She warned in the March 2002 letter that they faced the prospect of "the return of a British citizen to the UK about whom we have serious concerns, whom it may be difficult to prosecute and whose release could trigger a hostile US reaction." Previously secret but heavily redacted documents suggest the Government was not prepared to allow British officials to hand him over to the United States. But the fact that he was being held by the Zambians, who might want to see the suspect transferred to Guantanamo Bay, made things different. The British policy, set weeks before, had been to allow the US to transfer UK nationals to the naval base. One of the documents, an MI5 telegram, says: "Whether they do [in the Mubanga case] is a matter solely for the US. However, we would hope that they would have legitimate reasons, and see real advantage in taking this action." But others Whitehall officials wanted to intervene on Mr Mubanga's behalf. Staff in the consular section of the Foreign Office, which has a duty to offer limited help British nationals abroad, were concerned about what was going on. Downing Street intervention This concern is at the heart of claims by Mr Mubanga's solicitor, Louise Christian, that the government could have stopped his transfer to Guantanamo. An August 2002 email from the Deputy High Commission in Lusaka confirms the British authorities had not sought consular access to Mr Mubanga, "which meant we broke our policy" and "we are going to be open to charges of a concealed extradition." A reply from officials in London acknowledges "we potentially had a responsibility for his welfare", but adds that "we all hope that interest in it will die away completely." A summary of the Mubanga case, prepared by officials in Lusaka, reads: "Instructions from London were unequivocal. We should not accept responsibility for, or take custody of him. This was subsequently reinforced by the message from Number 10 that under no circumstances should Mubanga be allowed to return to the UK." So he was sent to Guantanamo where he was held until January 2005. Now he is one of six men suing the UK Government for colluding in their unlawful extra-ordinary rendition to Guantanamo and to torture during the course of their detention. The Coalition Government has ordered a judge-led inquiry to investigate the claims but it won't start before progress in the civil case has been made.

German reunification: Young Germans in search of their eastern roots

Summary: They were the first babies of newly reunified Germany. Some were born in a vanished state, East German communist symbols stamped in their birth certificates. Others shortly after German reunification, exactly 30 years ago. They are as old as modern Germany.

By Damien McGuinnessBBC News, Berlin Although they have no memories of the communist East German state, the GDR, many still see themselves as East German. They don't want communism back. But East German history, culture and traditions are part of their identity. A state erased from the map When I talked to Valerie Schönian, she had just celebrated her 30th birthday. At her party she played Kling Klang by 1990s band Keimzeit, a retro classic for East Germans her age. But it's largely unknown in western Germany. She believes this is just one small example of how East German experiences are being erased from the national memory. "When we talk about West Germany, it's always just 'Germany'. But when we talk about East Germany, it's 'the East'. Helmut Schmidt (former chancellor of West Germany) is part of 'German' history. But Egon Krenz (East Germany's last communist leader) is 'East German' history." In other words, "normal German" generally means coming from former West Germany. Anyone from the East is the other. 'I feel East German' Valerie Schönian has written a new book called Ostbewusstsein - East Consciousness, in which she talks to the children of reunification about their identity. She cites a 2019 study among Germans her age that suggests a fifth of people from the ex-GDR see themselves as East German, rather than German. There is no such trend in western Germany. "The more time passes since the fall of the Wall, the more East German I feel," she writes. "I also feel strongly European and like a global citizen. But first and foremost I feel East German." So why do some young people, who never knew the GDR, still define themselves as East German? "This is a region that for 40 years was a completely different state," she tells me. "We have a different experience. We have less to inherit, lower incomes." But that comes with advantages, she says. Parents may not be able to buy their children a car or an apartment, or line up an internship with a buddy from the tennis club. But there is also less pressure to conform to career expectations. And lower rents and fewer inhabitants mean more space for fun and creativity. "We have even grown up in a different environment. The pavements are different. The horizon, with the East German tower blocks, looks different. What we think is beautiful is different. We have a different history. My parents knew two political systems. My grandparents knew three." A different divide Ms Schönian has met with resistance, particularly from her parent's generation. "What do you know about the East?" her father said to her bluntly. Perhaps it's not surprising many older people feel uncomfortable. The debate in the western German-dominated national media about "East German issues" generally focuses on problems, such as the rise of the far right or depopulation or unemployment. Philipp Amthor, a conservative MP in Angela Merkel's CDU party, is also ambivalent about the idea of an East German identity. "Yes, I describe myself as East German, but from one particular part of eastern Germany," he tells me. He was born in 1992 in the north-eastern coastal region of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania. Today he represents a constituency there and is a high-profile rising star at the conservative end of Mrs Merkel's party. "I feel North German too, so I also have a lot in common with someone from Hamburg (in north-western Germany)." 'Every family was hit' Today, immaculately restored East German towns and cities are booming, while some rural regions are suffering from depopulation and a chronic lack of services and jobs. But Philipp Amthor accepts that history has an impact on life today. "East Germany's history is full of breaks and fractures. Entire careers were thrown overboard," he says. "Every family was hit, mine included." It's hard to overstate how radically life suddenly changed for East Germans after October 1990. Whole industries were shut down overnight, for the first time regions were hit by mass unemployment and for many people their careers, qualifications and experience suddenly meant nothing. Schnitzel with tomato sauce Large sections of the population never fully recovered. That was the case for Konrad Erben's mother. "She was a single-parent, which in the GDR wasn't a problem because of state support," he says. "But after reunification she had no access to jobs or training and never really got back on her feet again." He was born in 1989 in Jena. His father was from Senegal and today he is an activist for German People of Colour. Mr Erben also sees himself as East German. He prefers tomato sauce with his schnitzel, rather than the mushroom sauce common in the West, and he likes the look of the prefabricated tower blocks he grew up in. But as a person of colour his experience is also different. Racism in the east In the 1990s, neo-Nazism became a dominant and visible youth culture in eastern Germany, which meant high-levels of racist attacks on the streets. Today far-right rhetoric also targets Muslims and refugees. Konrad Erben says he encounters less racist violence today, but that other groups, such as people of Middle-Eastern appearance or women with headscarves, are increasingly victims of abuse and violence. How does he feel about Germany's reunification celebrations? "I'm happy I grew up in democratic Germany and not in the GDR, so I'm pleased that reunification happened. But from my work I also know that patriotic events spark racist violence, and after the fall of the Berlin Wall there were racist attacks. It wasn't all positive. So I feel unease when I see these German flags being waved around." The pictures and stories of reunification generally portray the experience of white Germans. But for generations Germany has been a multicultural, diverse society. So many Germans say they feel excluded from celebrations like this. Their experiences are rarely talked about and they can't help but think of the racist attacks that followed reunification. Thirty years ago, German unity meant East and West should become the same. But modern Germany is diverse and the experiences of people living in the region that was once the GDR are incredibly varied. Perhaps real reunification will only be complete when Germans accept their differences.

Inside the mind of a pathological shoplifter

Summary: The thought of shoplifting may well conjure up images of teenagers trying to impress friends, but for one woman - who has been shoplifting for over 20 years - it has become a compulsion that is dominating her life.

By Adam EleyBBC Victoria Derbyshire programme For Laura - not her real name - it all began at the age of seven, when a friend's parent asked her to hide items in her pocket while out shopping. Within months it had progressed to stealing classmates' toys at primary school and pinching items from a friend's house - a hair band or crayon. "I did it mainly because I wanted the item. I would ask my parents to buy me certain things and they wouldn't, so I would then just take them." Laura says it was these experiences that formed the basis of her addiction, which is now "out of control". She shoplifts practically every day, taking anything from cosmetics and clothes to jam and nappies, often while her two young children are with her. Before she left her job to take care of them, she would steal "money out of the till, money out of people's bags or purses" at work. "If I can take it, I will take it. It's basically an urge. There's something in my brain that's just telling me 'you want it, so take it'. "Recently I was at my friend's house and I saw a skirt that really caught my eye. I didn't take it that day initially, because I couldn't. But it played on my mind, so I arranged a time to go back to the house and made a plan of how I could get it - and I just took it." She believes none of her friends or family know of her addiction, and has no plans to tell her husband. "I don't think he would understand. It's quite embarrassing, I'm ashamed of it." Simon Stephens, a lead counsellor at Addictions UK, is not surprised by this reaction. He says it is comparable to the experiences of many other people going through addictions. He believes this pathological need to shoplift is far more common than people realise. "It is a genuine addiction that stems from the same issue as a gambling or drinking addiction. These people shoplift because they feel compelled to act by their subconscious, rather than for financial gain. "They experience an emotional urge to experience the rush of adrenaline - and consequently dopamine - they receive from shoplifting, and the only way to suppress that is by giving in. "From an addict's point of view, this rush mitigates all thought of those they are affecting." Laura says she does feel remorse, but it stretches only so far. "After I've taken an item, a lot of the time I'll feel guilt. Especially if it's been taken from a friend or someone I know. But when I steal from a department store, I don't feel as guilty. I feel they're not going to notice. They make a lot of money anyway." Shoplifting in Britain costs more than £300m a year, according to the British Retail Consortium, with the value of goods stolen from British shops having risen to its highest level in a decade. It also forces stores' insurance premiums to rise, which can put the cost of goods up for everyone else. Find out more The Victoria Derbyshire programme is broadcast on weekdays between 09:15 and 11:00 on BBC Two and the BBC News channel. Based on the information Laura has provided, the Victoria Derbyshire programme has estimated she has stolen about £100,000 worth of goods in total. She is slightly surprised, "but not really, just because of how long I've been stealing and to the extent I've been stealing". "When I get home and I see what I've got, then I'm quite happy that I have these nice new things." But while she gets a buzz after the event, she says the act of stealing itself makes her nervous. "My heart is pounding. I'm scared. I'm always scanning the shop. Who's around me? Who's behind me? It could take me up 20, 25 minutes because I'm so paranoid and I'm walking up and down aisles." Laura says she is now committed to stopping, and does not want to be someone that steals. "I'm worried [my children] will pick up my bad habits and that they'll end up stealing. That would be my worst nightmare, really. "I sometimes even change my handbag when I'm going out. I'll carry a bag that's really small, which I can't fit anything into. But I'll still work out a way to take something." Laura had 12 sessions of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) after being referred by her GP, where she was given coping strategies to help her overcome the compulsion to steal. One included creating a card containing five key reasons to resist shoplifting, which she could refer to in the moment. She says it was effective for a couple of weeks, but she soon slipped back into old habits. She is now hoping hypnotherapy may be able to help her overcome the addiction. The maximum sentence for repeatedly stealing in the UK is six months in prison. Laura has been caught shoplifting twice from the same department store, but the police were not called on either occasion. "I couldn't imagine going to jail. I don't even want to think about that," she says. More from the Magazine Chef Antony Worrall Thompson and movie stars Lindsay Lohan and Winona Ryder have all had to apologise for shoplifting.

Tour de France Grand Depart diary

Summary: With the 101st Tour de France starting in Leeds on 5 July, BBC Yorkshire's Matt Slater rounds up the best of the gossip, opinion and stories, on and off the bike, and also tries to explain some of cycling's unique lingo. TOP STORIES

Top trending If there is one thing that can be practically assured ahead of Le Tour's arrival it is that the 3G network will not be able to cope with the tsunami of selfies, tweets and vines that will be unleashed on 5-7 July. So York has decided to bring forward its plans to provide free wi-fi across the city. Chapeau, as they say in cycling circles. Full story: BBC News Agri aggro My experience of farmers (limited, admittedly) is that they are too busy to be reading online summaries of cycling-related news, but perhaps they will take heed of the Darlington & Stockton Times. "Farmers urged: Be ready for Le Tour" is the stark headline on Wednesday, as the Country Land and Business Association and Natural England unite to warn Yorkshire's farmers to get on with plans for camp sites, grass-cutting, parking, toilets and so on. Full story: Darlington and Stockton Times Chug of the day Another day, another ale. This time it is Halifax-based Oates Brewery and their Penny Farthing beer, which will be on sale throughout Calderdale. The brewery will contribute 15p to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance service every time somebody buys a pint of their "light, easy-drinking summer beer with a bright yellow label". Full story: Halifax Courier CYCLING ROUND-UP Tuesday was a busy day on planet cycling. First, the Giro d'Italia restarted after its Irish adventure, only to bring some Irish weather back home. And while roads in Belfast and Dublin are able to handle a bit of water without turning into a skid pan, strade in southern Italy cannot. After seven slippery circuits of the eight-lap route around Giovinazzo, organisers neutralised the race (gave everybody the same time), meaning only the sprinters who wanted a stage win needed to try on the last lap. Pandemonium ensued with just three riders making it to the line upright. France's Nacer Bouhanni won, claiming France's first victory at the Giro for three years. Britain's Ben Swift came down hard, and was not happy about it afterwards, while the winner of the two previous sprints, Germany's Marcel Kittel, did not even start the stage, because of a fever. There is no way he would jeopardise missing Le Tour. Meanwhile, Sir Bradley Wiggins' (don't call it a) comeback continues at the Tour of California. The third stage included two big climbs, with the finish coming on top of Mount Diablo. The 2012 Tour de France winner looked strong whilst leading a select group of riders up the final climb, but did not have the legs to stop Australian Rohan Dennis jumping clear to claim the win and slice 20 seconds off his lead. So the Team Sky star leads now by 24 seconds, with five stages to go. Friday's climb to Mountain High will decide the race. TWEET OF THE DAY "Guess you learned your lesson. So did I when my grandma found me playing with fireworks next to our barn full with dry hay." Kittel responds to the Irish fan who took a selfie with Kittel lying flat on the road after his win in the Giro's third stage. David McCarthy was initially heavily criticised on twitter, but Kittel's gracious acceptance of his apology turned the tide of typically overblown opprobrium. A TO Z OF LE TOUR G is for… General Classification - GC for short, this is the overall competition at Le Tour: the quickest total time to the finish in Paris. The leader in the GC wears arguably the most famous shirt in sport, the maillot jaune, or yellow jersey; and the winner gets to keep it. Most teams, but not all, have a leader who is completely focused on the GC. Typically, this rider will be an all-rounder, who can climb mountains and time-trial (ride shorter distances against the clock). The rest of the team will ride to support him, by shielding him from the wind, fetching food and water, perhaps even giving him their bikes if he has mechanical problems. Grimpeur - The French word for climber, these guys tend to be small but strong, as the power-to-weight ratio is cycling's key equation when the road tilts up. The GC is usually a battle between climbers who can time-trial, and time-triallers who can climb, but there is a race within the race just for grimpeurs: the King of the Mountains. Points are awarded at the top of designated climbs, with the climbs divided into categories based on gradient, height and length. The harder the climb, the more points are on offer. The King of the Mountains wears a white jersey with red polka dots, the maillot a pois rouges, although the current (and unfortunate) fad is to put polka dots on everything. Gruppetto - The Italian version of a word we have already met, l'autobus: the back of the field on the big climbs, where all the non-grimpeurs gather and suffer together. This can be a very unhappy place on the last climb of a day in the Alps and Pyrenees. Today's Tour Trivia Maurice-Francois Garin, aka "The Little Chimney-Sweep", was the first man to win a Tour de France, but also the first Tour de France winner to be stripped of his title. Born on the Italian side of the border near Mont Blanc in 1871, the nomadic Garin eventually settled in France and took up cycling in the 1890s. The fashion then was for long one-day races, or challenges to see how far somebody could ride in 24 hours. Garin was a natural: small, tough, and blessed with incredible reserves of stamina. By the time the first Tour took place in 1903, Garin had already won almost every major race in France, as well as claiming a world record for riding 500km in just over 15 hours. The first Tour saw 60 riders tackle 2,428km in six days of racing. Only 21 finished, and Garin earned the equivalent of about £20,000 for his trouble. The second Tour was just as hard, but even more chaotic, with the riders sometimes being attacked by the fans of rivals. After a hairy moment in St Etienne, Garin said "I'll win the Tour de France provided I'm not murdered before we get to Paris." He did get to Paris first, relatively unscathed, but was soon disqualified, along with the next three finishers. There had been rumours of rampant cheating throughout the race - hanging on to cars, catching trains, feeding outside permitted zones - but the actual reason for Garin's disqualification was lost when the French cycling authorities moved their archives to escape the German invasion in 1940. Was Garin a scapegoat? We will never know. We do know he was banned for two years, and retired soon after, living out the rest of his days quietly as garage-owner in Lens.

Owl stuck in chimney for two days at home in Llanymynech

Summary: An owl had a lucky escape after getting stuck in the chimney of a log burner at a house in Powys for two days.

The tawny owl had been wedged inside the flue at the home in Arddleen near Welshpool. An RSPCA inspector had to chip away at the cement of the fireplace to lift it away and free the bird. After Saturday's rescue, inspector Phil Lewis said: "Although I don't think he'd had much sleep, he was fine and flew up to some nearby trees."

Algeria protest: Thousands flood capital to demand 'new revolution'

Summary: Tens of thousands of demonstrators have converged on the streets of Algiers as Algeria marked the 65th anniversary of its war of independence from France.

Protesters are demanding a "new revolution" and oppose the government's proposed election next month. Demonstrations in the capital on Friday were some of the largest since protests began in February. Long-serving President Abdelaziz Bouteflika resigned in April after weeks of street protests. But his departure was not enough for the predominantly young protesters who have taken to the streets for 37 consecutive Fridays. They are calling for sweeping government reforms, accusing leaders of widespread corruption and state repression. Protesters do not want an election next month - they argue it would not be transparent or fair under the current political system.

The week ahead in Parliament

Summary: Are we about to see the first real parliamentary crisis of the pandemic?

Mark D'ArcyParliamentary correspondent New regulations creating the revised tier system in England and the loosening for Christmas are due before Parliament on Tuesday - and real trouble is clearly brewing on the Tory backbenches. A dangerous number of normally loyal backbenchers are threatening rebellion, in terms which make it hard for them to climb down without some real government concessions, perhaps on parliamentary oversight of the restrictions, or on trying to localise them with greater precision. It's worth noting the arithmetic here: it would normally take a rebellion of around 40 Conservatives to cancel out the government's majority. But on this issue the 47 SNP MPs would not normally vote, which gives the government a more comfortable margin. And in any event Labour will probably support the restrictions, after extracting a price. So it's not the prospect of defeat, so much as the corrosive impact of having to rely on Labour to get the regulations through that is the problem for ministers. And the increasingly sharp tone of the government's Conservative critics is striking; a big Conservative vote against these regulations will create dangerous new fault-lines. And that's before we get on to the possibility of some kind of outcome to the post-Brexit trade talks with the EU, which may re-expose some old fault-lines. Elsewhere, here are a few more Westminster sub-plots to watch out for: Here's my rundown of the week ahead: Monday 30 November The Commons opens (14:30) with an hour of Work and Pensions Questions. And that's usually followed by ministerial statements and Urgent Questions. The main legislation is the Telecommunications (Security) Bill, which seeks to create a stronger telecoms security framework for the era of 5G and the increasingly pervasive digital networks it will enable. The Bill will also introduce new national security powers for the government to manage risks posed by "high-risk vendors" - clauses aimed at the Chinese 5G provider, Huawei. In Westminster Hall there are two debates scheduled by the Petitions Committee. Firstly (at 16:30) is e-petition 255823, which calls for a full public inquiry into the death in a mental health facility of 20 year-old Matthew Leahy. The petition, started by Matthew's mother, says "something went terribly wrong with the NHS mental health services provided to my son". Matthew, it says, was taken to "a place of safety" and died seven days later. The petition, which attracted more than 105,000 signatures, says 24 other people have died in similar circumstances since 2000. In response, the government expressed sincere regrets over Matthew's death; NHS Improvement will review the care he and others received and will provide advice in due course on whether a public inquiry should be held. That is followed (at 18:00) by a shorter debate on e-petition 331453 entitled "Scrap removal of free transport for under-18s from TfL bailout" The petition argues that destroying free travel would hurt many teenagers, and it has attracted 170,649 signatures. On the Committee Corridor, Public Accounts (14:30) takes evidence on one of its hardy perennial subjects - lessons from major projects and programmes - from Nick Smallwood, the Chief Executive of the Infrastructure and Projects Authority. In the Lords (13:00) questions range across private investment in the hydrogen sector, and the case for convening a summit of the governments of the 10 leading democracies in spring 2021. The main legislative action is the Report Stage consideration of the High Speed Rail (West Midlands-Crewe) Bill - where the architect of HS2, and former Transport Secretary, Lord Adonis, will seek to safeguard the next stages of the project, with an amendment requiring the current Transport Secretary to lay plans for the line from the West Midlands to Sheffield and Leeds before Parliament within six months of the Bill being passed into law. There is also a motion to defer the Report Stage and refer some issues to a special committee - but this is thought unlikely to be pushed to a vote. Tuesday 1 December The Commons opens (at 11:30) with Treasury Questions. There's then an interesting Ten Minute Rule Bill on apologies, from the Conservative John Howell. He's Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Dispute Resolution, and he wants the UK to follow the example of other countries which allow apologies to be made for, for example, mistakes in treatment in a hospital, without this counting as an admission of liability, which can be used in court. That is followed by the week's major event - the debate on the regulations which will underpin the new three-tier system for coronavirus restrictions in England, and the loosening proposed for the Christmas holiday. These will be orders made under the Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984 and, unusually, they will be debated in the House of Lords at more or less the same time, in order to get them into law by Wednesday. In Westminster Hall (at 09:30) the DUP's Jim Shannon leads a debate on raising awareness of signs and symptoms of cancer in teenage and young adults, and the Conservative Claire Coutinho has a debate on proposals to designate land as wild belt areas (14:30). Offstage, there's a considerable helping of select committee action: The Treasury Committee (09:30) takes evidence on the latest Spending Review, and will hear from Richard Hughes, Chair of the Office for Budget Responsibility and supporting cast; a session with economists follows on Wednesday. Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs (09:30) questions the Chair of the Committee on Standards in Public Life Lord Evans of Weardale. I daresay the subject of the home secretary might come up. Health and Social Care and Science and Technology (09:30) continue their fascinating series of hearings on Coronavirus: lessons learnt, with a look at the impact of Covid on people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds as well as people with learning disabilities, who are estimated to have a death rate of four times higher than average. Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (10:30) have a hearing on the government's preparations for the COP-26 climate conference and on efforts to achieve net-zero. In the Lords (12:00) questions have a World AIDS Day theme, with Baroness Barker asking about ending HIV transmissions by 2030 and Lord Cashman asking about the impact of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PREP) on new HIV transmissions. There's also a question on support for older people at risk from domestic abuse during the pandemic Then, peers move on to day two of committee stage consideration of the Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill. This, remember, is the probing stage of scrutiny, and there are unlikely to be any votes. But the issues in play include different levels of oversight, plus calls for assurances that trade union activity can't be affected by the powers under the Bill. This is followed by a four-hour debate on the new Coronavirus restrictions - the same as those before the Commons. It's almost unheard of for peers to reject regulations, but someone might well put down a "regret motion". Wednesday 2 December Commons business opens (at 11:30) with half an hour of Northern Ireland questions, followed by Prime Minister's Question Time. The day's Ten Minute Rule Bill, proposed by the DUP's Jim Jim Shannon, is on providing Automated External Defibrillators. Then MPs consider a batch of mostly Brexit-related regulations. In Westminster Hall subjects for debate include: access to cancer diagnosis and treatment during the pandemic (09:30) and homelessness and temporary accommodation (14:30). Again, there's plenty of committee action. The Treasury Committee (14:30) continues its scrutiny of the Spending Review with a panel of economists including Paul Johnson of the Institute for Fiscal Studies Environmental Audit (14:30) will hold its final session on the Energy Efficiency of Existing Homes, quizzing Ministers Kwasi Kwarteng, Christopher Pincher and Kemi Badenoch. Women and Equalities (14:30 )have witnesses from L'Oréal Paris, Dove, Boohoo, Sport England, the Advertising Standards Authority and Transport for London for a session in their inquiry into body image In the Lords (12:00) questions cover support for the operation of Belfast International Airport, protection for children groomed into filming their own abuse online and the future of European security cooperation Then, having extensively rewritten it, peers will zip through the Third Reading of the United Kingdom Internal Market Bill. It will then ping back to the Commons for what could prove to be an extensive bout of parliamentary ping pong. The government was defeated seven times on key aspects of the Bill, most notably the crushing Committee Stage vote, where the controversial law-breaking powers were struck out by a majority of 268 votes. Unless a deal with the EU gets everyone off the hook, it may well be that the Lords refuses to budge, even if the government majority in the Commons reverses the changes they have made. The result may be that ping pong, appearing on the agenda as Lords "consideration of Commons Reasons" and Commons "consideration of Lords Amendments" may become a daily, even hourly event in the run up to the end of the Brexit transition period, and perhaps beyond. Thursday 3 December MPs begin their day (at 09:30) with Transport Questions, followed by the weekly Commons Business Statement from the Leader of the House. The main business is two debates chosen by the Backbench Business Committee - first on the future of coal in the UK, then on digital infrastructure, connectivity and accessibility. In Westminster Hall (13:30) there are more backbench debates, firstly on access to and acceptance of cash during the Covid outbreak led by former ministers Paul Maynard and David Mundell. The second debate (15:00) is on the future of nurseries and early years settings, focusing on the problems flowing from the policy of providing 30 hours of funded childcare for three and four-year olds - which has led to many providers struggling to remain financially sustainable. The financial challenge has been starkly highlighted by the pandemic, leaving 25% of providers facing permanent closure within the year. The sponsors of the debate, Tories Steve Brine and Theresa Villiers and Labour's Jack Dromey, want the system overhauled. The day's committee action sees Public Accounts (10:00) quizzing Tamara Finkelstein, the Permanent Secretary at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on the government's long-term environmental goals. And Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (11:00) holds the final evidence session in its inquiry into flooding in England. starring Environment Secretary George Eustice and Housing Minister Lord Greenhalgh. In the Lords (12:00) question time includes the historian Lord Lexden asking about the review of the National Trust Acts, and there will also be questions on National Planning Policy Statements, the Paris Climate Agreement and on access to Child Trust Funds by children with learning disabilities Then peers move on to day three of committee scrutiny of the Covert Human Intelligence Sources (Criminal Conduct) Bill. They will discuss limiting the types of crimes that can be authorised under the bill, and protections for children and vulnerable people. Neither House is due to sit on Friday.

Is digital piracy possible on any object?

Summary: First it was music, movies and novels, but now everything appears to be at risk of piracy. But with a "Spotify for objects" being set up, is it an opportunity for developers to realise their dreams or is there a big risk of their ideas being taken for nothing?

By Alex HudsonBBC Click The proliferation of 3D printing has opened the door to a world where, potentially at least, anything can be made at home and - in turn - anything can be pirated. The Pirate Bay, found guilty of facilitating illegal downloads, has said that 3D printed items will be the next battlefield of piracy. If something can be downloaded free and made for a fraction of the purchase cost, why would people still go out and buy it? It would certainly save the shops being so busy in the few weeks before Christmas. There have already been examples of everything from an Aston Martin car being attempted to an illusion of an object impossible to create being printed, showing that anything is possible, even the impossible. But this design of the "impossible" object caused the first copyright issue when a designer selling his work spotted a reverse-engineered copy on the same site and issued a takedown notice. It was taken down. Under 18 months ago, industry leaders were outspoken about the effects that this technology could have on capitalism. "I don't think we need a marketplace. It's a sharing world," Bre Pettis, chief executive of 3D printing company Makerbot, said last year. "We are at the dawn of the age of sharing where, even if you try to sell things, the world is going to share it anyway." His company was taken over for $403m (£250m) in stock this year. He now sees a place where both the ability to give designs away free and huge opportunities for entrepreneurs can co-exist. "There are lots of commercial applications," he says now. "Some of our biggest customers are Nasa and they're making robots to explore space. All sorts of entrepreneurs. There are some people who are trading and making money using 3D printing." To avoid the risk of piracy that increasing numbers of people are fearing, despite the current lack of commercial applications, a company called Authentise has developed a way to protect the work of the creator. Developed as both a way to protect and a marketplace, it will offer users the chance to "stream" objects to a printer rather than own the plans outright, lowering the chance the design might get shared. Specifically "not" - which they write in bold - a digital rights management service (DRM) that film and music industries have now disregarded for the most part, it tries to remove the possibility of reverse engineering to create an exact copy. "We thought of this concept of the stream, Spotify for 3D printing," says Andre Wegner, founder and chief executive of Authentise. "We try to strike a balance between environments, [one where] people legitimately have created value and want to protect that or want to monetise that in some way. "The other is people wanting to use their machinery in ways that they want to, and we should not stop people from using their 3D printers for whatever purpose." The company tries to do this by watermarking objects. But some have called this DRM by another name and risks not working. "Regardless of object purpose or intent - should 3D printed files be DRM-free? Yes, of course, unqualified yes," says Cody Wilson, who rose to prominence when he designed and 3D-printed his own gun. "I don't see aggressive prosecution happening for people sharing these files. "It's less narrow and there's more ways of evading copyright. I don't see their being as unified a front for attacking it or dividing it." Though the risks in "physibles" - what some are calling the data required to create objects - piracy are seen as a different problem from the music, film and literature businesses, as Pirate Bay founder Tobias Andersson has already warned. "The Pirate Bay in its current form can withstand the pressure from quite harmless industries like the movie and music industries," he told TorrentFreak. "But when car, oil, and weapons industries and all the countries that depend on them start to feel threatened, we can't depend on a few people to sacrifice themselves." The inventor of 3D printing, Chuck Hull, sees very few people actually willing to sacrifice themselves because the technology still lacks the convenience and practicality, particularly for small items. "It's actually typically more expensive to make those sorts of things by printing than going to Ikea and buying it and that'll probably be the case for some time," he says. "Most of the products where 3D printing is involved, the printing is only one part of the process. "They're typically a lot more complex. you're not going to print your automobile or your motorcycle - you might print some of the components - but there are more digital processes in that - and most people won't have the equipment at home to fully manufacture a television set." And people are drawing comparisons to the music industry as a good thing, in that global revenues are growing for the first time since 1999. "Did you have a tape deck? Did you have a CD writable drive? You have the capability to record anything," says Mr Pettis. "How do we exist with all these abilities? We got through it somehow. Now we can share things, it'll be an adventure but we're going to get through." If 3D printing is to create as big a change to objects as it did to the music industry, creating a world where everything can be pirated, there certainly could be some rough seas for both the pirates and the rights holders ahead.

Isle of Man seal pup deaths 'highest' in six years - Manx Wildlife Trust

Summary: Stormy weather has caused the highest number of seal pup deaths around the Isle of Man coast for six years, according to wildlife experts.

The Manx Wildlife Trust said there have been six confirmed in the Calf of Man islet so far this year. Spokeswoman Lara Howe said pups can become exhausted or get battered against the rocks by high waves. It is thought female seals return to the islet off the south coast every year because of its secluded position. Ms Howe added: "It's a sad sight but all part of the natural process - this year has been particularly harsh and we have suffered the greatest number of mortalities since the surveys started."

Arizona: Naming the dead from the desert

Summary: It's the job of a forensics team in Arizona to identify the bodies of migrants found in the desert. Anthropologist Robin Reineke describes how she pieces together the sad jigsaw puzzle of personal attributes and belongings.

There are many ways to enter the US. The way that's taken by the very poorest is to come through the Sonoran Desert on foot. It's a very forbidding place - the temperatures in the summertime are regularly in the triple digits Fahrenheit and there's no water. Groups of people will walk for three to five days, travelling by night and drinking out of cattle troughs or whatever they can find. It's unlikely they will see other people for the duration of the trip. At present, Tucson, Arizona has almost 800 unidentified bodies of migrants who didn't make it to the other side. They were found by border patrol, by citizens of the Tohono O'odham Indian reservation, or by ranchers or hikers. I compare these unidentified remains to lists we have of missing persons, collected from families of migrants last known to have been attempting the crossing. When there is a possible match, I call the family. Recently, I called the wife of a missing man. "There's someone who could potentially be your husband," I told her. "Can I ask you some questions? "Did he have any tattoos? You said that he was missing an upper molar. Could you tell me more about that?" One day in the desert heat is enough to make a body unrecognisable, so the possessions that are found with the remains can be incredibly important to the family. There's often an interesting combination of objects. Mostly it is the normal stuff that anyone would take with them on a trip - toothpaste, socks, snacks, water. But then there are these very personal items - photographs of loved ones, handwritten notes from family members, kids' drawings. The letters are from the children or wives of those we've found dead, wishing them luck and telling them that they're loved, that they should be very careful on the journey, that the family's prayers are with them, that the family's hopes are with them. And the photos have been touched and pulled out over and over again, then folded up and put back carefully. Some of the items have unspoken stories. There was a young kid - he was probably only 15 or 16 years old - and the soles of his shoes were just completely worn off. He had been carrying one orange paper flower. I remember a man who had a small dead hummingbird in his pocket. I know that for a lot of indigenous North American peoples hummingbirds hold a sacred significance - they represent hope and love and they're a powerful protective symbol. Prayer card Wallet Money False ID List of names and numbers SIM cards Money Many migrants carry all the money they have. Before they meet up with their coyote (guide) they are often carrying the payment with them in cash, which is usually more than $2,500. This is very dangerous. Every year, hundreds of Central American migrants fall prey to criminals, especially drug cartels and gangs. False Mexican Voter ID card When false Mexican ID is found with unidentified remains, Robin’s team look at their missing lists from neighbouring countries – in this case, the owner was Honduran. He would have needed false ID to travel through Mexico, where he would also have been considered an “illegal”. Another reason for the fake ID is that if he had been caught trying to cross into the US, he would only have been deported back to Mexico rather than all the way to Honduras. SIM cards These are not uncommon. Migrants often carry them as back-up in case their cell phones get taken. List of names and numbers This is one of the most common items found with migrants. The guides often take their cell phones at the start of the journey, so the migrants carry numbers with them instead. The numbers were key to helping the team identify this individual, who was found in January 2011, about 10-15 months after his death. Someone from the Mexican consulate called one of the numbers and spoke to a person who knew a man using false ID. He was ultimately identified through a DNA match, thanks to the Argentine Forensic Team, which funds a large number of DNA comparisons for Central Americans. Prayer card The words read “Cristo mi piloto” (Jesus is my pilot) with a prayer on the back. Wallet Since all travellers carry wallets, and many of them are very similar, these rarely help in the identification process. With certain objects, my familiarity with Mexican and Central American cultures helps me to make a guess about where someone came from. For example, many migrants carry prayer cards - small cards with a saint or a holy scene printed on them with an accompanying prayer. A prayer card of the Virgin of Juquila is likely to have belonged to a Oaxacan traveller, since it is there that she is venerated. You can think of it like a puzzle - a puzzle which has a great deal of importance to a lot of people. While most anthropologists who work in human identification are physical or forensic anthropologists who specialise in skin and bone, I am a cultural anthropologist focused on the social world. My training helps me bridge the gap between forensic scientists and the families of the missing, who are generally indigenous people. The forensic scientists and I have a lot of faith in science, which is a belief system. It requires trust in officials, in the scientific method, in technology. Many families of missing migrants are coming from communities in Mexico or Central America that have been violated for centuries by officials, scientists and technologies. There is a lot of mistrust. Moreover, the family is looking for something recognisable, something that carries the trace of the person they knew. They can get fixated on details scientists might consider nearly irrelevant, like the buttons on a pair of trousers or a brand of tennis shoes. These are things that have meaning to them. They are also things that someone can change, unlike their DNA or fingerprints. So while I might be trying to arrange a DNA comparison with a family, they'll be asking to see photos of the remains. Sometimes they show up in my office, having driven for hours, asking to see the body. Generally, we don't allow this unless the dead person is recognisable. Some might argue that it is not our job to protect families from the truth. But if they see an unrecognisable, decomposed corpse or skeleton, they may not only be traumatised, they may simply reject the identification. I've been involved in a few of cases where we have come very close to a positive ID and the family suddenly rejects involvement or says we're lying. Because of the highly decomposed nature of the bodies, the calls I make are never as simple as, "I am sorry to inform you…" Instead, it's the beginning of a process that could take months. It unfolds as a kind of a negotiation between the scientists and the families. Both sides have the same goal - to find the missing person. But for the scientists, the problem is an unidentified dead body, whereas for the families, the problem is a missing living person. These realities pull them in opposite directions. And, coming after a long period of not hearing anything, these are months of agony for families. What they have already endured is terrifying. You cannot grieve without a body - without certainty that the person is gone. Every single day that you are living a normal life, you know they could be suffering. One case that stands out is a large group of Guatemalans that were all from the same town, who attempted to cross in the summer of 2010. The man who was leading the group had crossed before, maybe five or 10 years earlier. But the border had completely changed - it is a lot more difficult to cross over now. The man got lost with this whole group of friends and relatives following him. One of them was able to call his wife and tell her that they were lost, that they had been walking for seven days, that they were out of food and water, that some of the group had been vomiting blood, that they knew they were going to die. I received all the reports of the missing and a big sleuthing operation began. Three sets of bodies were found in different locations, months apart. We were able to identify five of them. The other seven or eight remain missing. I went to Guatemala with my husband in the summer of 2011 to meet the families of the dead and missing from this group. I was struck by the difference between those whose loved ones had been identified and those who were still waiting. Even with the knowledge that the whole group had been lost in the desert, and that some of them had come home in coffins, the families of the missing were distraught - sickened by the condition of not knowing. Their faces are burned into my memory. I won't pretend that I have an easy job and that I don't take some of it home. I work with an incredible team, who have taught me everything. And I have a wonderful husband and a fuzzy dog at home to keep me sane. And I feel very honoured to be doing this work. The unidentified are here in Tucson and I feel an obligation to them. The immigration issue is tough but it's not intractable. For me, it's frustrating that there is so much attention on the physical line of the border, and on border security. When hundreds are dying each year, their bodies rotting in the desert, we have to think about what is an effective border, what is effective security - and security for whom? It is time to really think about what we have done as a continent to cause people to risk their lives in such large numbers. Immigrants are being blamed for a lot at the moment - they're being scapegoated. I feel that these people were, by and large, good, hard-working people that did not mean any harm. By attempting the crossing they were trying to do the very best for their families. I would definitely do the same thing. Robin Reineke spoke to Outlook on the BBC World Service.

'Curious' cow gets head stuck in tree in Oxford

Summary: A cat stuck up a tree is a standard mercy mission for firefighters, but crews in Oxford ended up going to the rescue of a cow stuck in one.

Mark Merrony said he noticed several fire engines turn up to the field in Water Eaton and decided to investigate. "It was with its head stuck in the tree, poor thing. I think they are quite curious creatures," he said. "Curiosity nearly killed the cow." He said crews appeared to "lubricate" the cow's neck before pulling it free. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue service said officers waited for a vet to arrive before they pulled the animal free with straps. It was trapped for about an hour before it was heaved out of the tree at about midday. "You have got to take your hat off to the fire service, they are just brilliant," Dr Merrony said.

Darren Pencille: Train killer 'would panic during rail journeys'

Summary: Darren Pencille has been jailed for life for murdering a man he stabbed repeatedly during a confrontation on a London-bound train, while his girlfriend Chelsea Mitchell was also jailed for assisting an offender.

By Tanya GuptaBBC News The prosecution at his trial painted a picture of a man with a history of mental health issues but also of violence - Pencille had been convicted of an earlier knife attack that bore striking similarities to the killing of Lee Pomeroy. The 36-year-old defendant relied upon his girlfriend in court as much as he did on the day he stabbed Mr Pomeroy 18 times and left him to die. Pencille chose not to take the stand and speak in his defence, leaving it to Mitchell to give an account of their lives and their actions that day and to describe their co-dependent relationship. The court heard how Pencille could not deal with crowded places - shops, supermarkets, railway stations, trains and hospitals. Whenever panic struck during a rail journey, "nine times out of 10" he would call Mitchell, who has borderline learning disabilities and whose IQ is ranked in the lowest 1% of the population. Mitchell, 28, would talk to Pencille - who she called Jimmy - to calm him down and collect him if he had been unable to stay on a train. She would either take him to her flat in Farnham, Surrey, where they lived together, or to a quieter railway station or on to his destination. She would do his shopping, sending him WhatsApp images of the items she had bought to make sure they were the right ones. Neither of them had dealt with the loss of their stillborn son, Romeo, who died the previous summer, the Old Bailey heard during the trial. Mitchell, who met Pencille on a dating website, told jurors their feelings were still raw and the pair had been struggling - the court heard the defendant carried a 20-week ultrasound scan of Romeo in his wallet. She said Pencille had supported her when depression after the stillbirth left her unable to get out of bed and she still had to care for her young daughter, who called Pencille "Daddy". When she was questioned in court about why, on the day of the killing, it apparently took her more than nine hours to work out what her boyfriend had done, Mitchell said: "I'm a bit slow." "If someone tells a joke, I don't pick up on it until five minutes later," she explained. In the hours after the killing, as Mr Pomeroy's teenage son and other traumatised passengers were supported by the police, on-the-run Pencille had called Mitchell to collect him and take him to their Farnham home, about 15 miles from the scene of the stabbing. He discarded clothing and took a shower. While police combed the area around Clandon for the killer, Pencille suggested to Mitchell they visit Frensham Ponds to let off lanterns in memory of Romeo. The beauty spot was where they would go to find peace and quiet and "gather their thoughts", the young mother told the court. "It was quite emotional over Christmas," she said. "We didn't have our son." After their trip to the ponds the pair headed to the Sussex coastal town of Bognor where Pencille had a flat. Mitchell gave her daughter dinner and watched EastEnders. Later that night they returned to her flat in Farnham, where the pair would be arrested early the next day. By this point, police knew their prime suspect had used a knife in anger before. In 2010, Pencille admitted wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm in relation to an attack on his 24-year-old housemate - although Mitchell said her boyfriend had never revealed his violent past to her. Pencille had gone into his victim's bedroom to borrow cigarette papers but became loud and aggressive and, after a disagreement, followed his housemate out of the room. Seconds later, after hearing shouting, a witness followed them and saw the man bleeding heavily from his neck - his life-threatening injuries included two stab wounds to the neck and one to the shoulder. During his murder trial, the jury heard that Pencille claimed to be "hearing voices" during his confrontation with Mr Pomeroy. It transpired that in the months before the killing, he had not been taking his medication. Various drugs had been prescribed to treat his anxiety, depression and psychotic conditions including schizophrenia. These included diazepam, mirtazapine and olanzapine, but none of those substances was found in his urine sample after the killing, a forensic scientist said. Jurors heard that Mr Pomeroy followed Pencille through the train's carriages as the pair taunted one another, leaving the killer with nowhere to go and no way to get off the moving train. Mr Pomeroy's son described how his father would never start a fight, but also would never "not reply". However, his father's killer had boarded the train carrying a knife and, in the attack that followed, Pencille stabbed Mr Pomeroy 18 times in 25 seconds. He severed the 51-year-old's jugular vein and carotid artery, leaving him rapidly bleeding to death. Pencille's unrelenting assault left Mr Pomeroy with a wound to his neck, eight to his torso and others to his arm, his hands and his thigh. He bled so profusely the blood covered his clothing, the area of the train where the attack happened - and Pencille's own clothes. Mr Pomeroy's family told the BBC in March how the murder had left them not only heartbroken but also terrified. His sister Kim Pomeroy said: "If this can happen to a 51-year-old man going about his business on a train in the middle of the day, this terrifies me, because if it can happen to him, it can happen to anybody." She said the family had lost a loving father, husband, son and brother, a generous man who cared about people. "We are absolutely heartbroken. Our family has been destroyed," she said. Mitchell told the court it was many hours after the attack that she realised what her boyfriend had done, only discovering a man had been stabbed and a killer was on the run after she had put her daughter to bed. The 28-year-old said it was at this point that she looked at the day's news coverage on her phone. During the trial, Mitchell was reprimanded for sending a Father's Day card and letter to Pencille in Belmarsh Prison - her bail conditions had barred any contact. In the letter, Mitchell urged Pencille to "stay strong" and "keep fighting". She wrote: "I miss you so much, everything is falling apart. Loosing [sic] everyone I love and all I want us [sic] my family back... Finding everything so hard. All I want is you by my side."

Historic Ballater station destroyed by fire 'to be rebuilt'

Summary: A historic railway station in Royal Deeside which was destroyed in a blaze will be rebuilt, Aberdeenshire Council has pledged.

The Old Royal Station in Ballater was ravaged by fire earlier this month. Structural surveys have been carried out and an assessment is being made of what can be salvaged. Rebuilding work could take two years. The old station was the final stopping point for members of the Royal family heading to Balmoral. Firefighters did manage to save a replica of a Royal carriage which took Queen Victoria to Scotland in 1869. It had been painstakingly hand-crafted to match the original design after being commissioned by VisitScotland at the suggestion of Prince Charles.

Jordan ends death penalty moratorium with 11 executions

Summary: Jordan has executed 11 men convicted of murder, ending an eight-year moratorium on the death penalty in the country.

The interior ministry said the men, convicted in different cases, had been hanged at dawn on Sunday. Jordanian authorities gave no reason for the lifting of the 2006 moratorium on capital punishment. Interior Minister Hussein Majali recently said the public blamed a rise in crime on the non-application of the death penalty, AFP news agency reports. A number of Middle East countries have retained capital punishment, including Jordan's neighbour Saudi Arabia which has carried out dozens of public executions this year.

The British territory with Europe's harshest abortion laws

Summary: The tiny British territory of Gibraltar has the harshest anti-abortion laws anywhere in Europe - the penalty for breaching the law is life imprisonment. But with Brexit looming and the Irish abortion referendum just weeks away, campaigners are hoping for change.

By John OwenVictoria Derbyshire programme Gibraltar's residents, who live on a two-mile strip of land at the tip of Spain, are British citizens, and many feel a deep affinity with the UK. But in one respect they are very different. Unlike in England, Scotland and Wales - where abortion can legally be performed - abortion in Gibraltar is punishable by life imprisonment under section 162 of the 2011 Crimes Act. "I don't see how we can say we are part of the EU, part of Britain, and have such a difference in that respect. It's ridiculous," Rosalina Oliva tells the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme. She is a resident of Gibraltar who crossed the border into Spain to have an abortion in 2008. She already had two children when she found out she was pregnant again, with a partner she did not want to stay in a relationship with. "Mentally, I wasn't strong enough to go through another pregnancy. It was something I decided there and then I couldn't do, in the circumstances I was in," she says. She says it was "daunting" to have to travel to an unfamiliar country - with a healthcare system she did not fully understand - to have such an "invasive" procedure. Some worry crossing the border into Spain to seek a termination will become more difficult after Brexit. Campaigners even fear that this, combined with the powerful taboo against abortion, might mean that dangerous backstreet terminations will fill the gap. No-one in modern times has actually faced life imprisonment, but it is nonetheless symbolic of the strict criminalisation of abortion in the territory, which campaigners say creates deep anxiety for those who decide to seek a termination. Ms Oliva says abortion simply needs to be decriminalised. "The fact that right now if you were to go through with it you could be sentenced to life in prison is scary for a lot of women. "And that might actually put them off going through something they feel they need to do." Abortion laws So how likely is it that the law might be changed? Gibraltar is largely self-governing, but Westminster retains responsibility for areas such as defence and foreign affairs. Its tiny parliament consists of just 17 MPs - Marlene Hassan Nahon is one of only two female MPs and the only elected representative to be openly pro-choice. She wants to see an urgent change and is calling for a consultative referendum, like the one due to take place in Ireland. "We are a society which is still pandering to religious lobbies. And it's obvious that our legislation is extremely outdated on the matter of abortion, especially that it's punishable by life imprisonment," she says. "It's not as if abortion is not happening. It is happening, and our women are crossing over to Spain. "The only difference is that they're not getting the pre-counselling that goes with it, or the post-counselling, and therefore we cannot cater for our women, we cannot make abortions safe, we cannot give them the right guidance." Gibraltar's Catholic community is in the majority. And the Catholic Church has consistently opposed any liberalisation of the law. The Bishop of Gibraltar, the Right Reverend Carmelo Zammit, says: "If the law allows abortion, then people are going to start thinking there is nothing wrong with abortion." He says it is right for Gibraltar to "stick to what we believe in" and keep the current law in place, even if women "who want an abortion are going to get it [by having the operation abroad]". But some campaigners, such as Felix Alvarez, of the Gibraltar Equality Rights Group, think a legal challenge to the government's position might be viable. He says case law that had emerged from the European Court of Human Rights showed a movement in favour of people being able to access abortions. One 2018 survey by GBC, the Gibraltar Broadcasting Corporation, suggested about 77% of people in Gibraltar would support legalisation in certain circumstances - such as in cases of rape or to protect a pregnant woman's life. Gibraltar's Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, told the Victoria Derbyshire programme the government had "to deal with the moral aspects" of the debate over abortion laws and "do so in a way that takes into account the religious sensitivities that might be in this community". He said Gibraltar had moved to legalise civil partnerships and equal marriage, which he said had "engaged the same sorts of sensitivities". Gibraltar also legalised the over-the-counter distribution of the morning-after contraceptive pill last year, a move opposed by the Catholic Church. But Mr Picardo refused to make any commitment to a change in the law with regards to the penalty for abortion. Having had her own termination in 2008, Ms Oliva hopes this will change soon - so women don't have to go through what she did. "I didn't know anybody who had had a termination before. And anyone who had wouldn't speak about it. So, it was quite a lonely experience," she says.

Need Amendments for 17th Amendment - DEW

Summary: Minister of Constitutional Affairs and National Integration, D.E.W.Gunasekera says that there are much more important issues such as establishment of Police Commission and Public Service Commission than the Human Rights Commission which is due to end its mandate shortly.

He said according to the 17th amendment, there are conditions to be fulfilled for the formation of Constitutional Council. Appointments to the Council have to be nominated by various parties including the President. "All except minor parties have yet to nominate a person from among themselves", he said. However, TNA, JVP, Muslim Congress and other minor parties have not been able to make a nomination as there are disagreement among them, Minister Gunasekera said. Accepting that it is the responsibility of the government to resolve issues before this, Minister Gunasekera said that president could not make nominations on behalf of smaller parties. He said to overcome the current deadlock government could propose two alternatives; one is for speaker to mediate and ask parties to come to an agreement and the other is to bring about an amendment to the effect that the constitutional council could be formed without smaller parties.

संवैधानिक कार्य और राष्ट्रीय एकता मंत्री, D.E.W.Gunasekera का कहना है कि मानवाधिकार आयोग की तुलना में पुलिस आयोग और लोक सेवा आयोग की स्थापना जैसे बहुत अधिक महत्वपूर्ण मुद्दे हैं जो जल्द ही अपने जनादेश को समाप्त करने वाला है।


Brexit: Ministers in Irish cross-border agree '10-point plan'

Summary: Government ministers from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland have agreed on a '10-point-plan' after the UK voted to leave the EU.

The North South Ministerial Council (NSMC), the cross-border co-operation body, met on Monday at Dublin Castle. Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU, but the UK as a whole backed Leave. However, Arlene Foster said that no mention had been made about the possibility of a forum to work on all-Ireland issues following Brexit. The idea had been proposed by the Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Enda Kenny prior to the meeting. The suggested forum would enable groups to work on areas of mutual interest, his government said. Northern Ireland's first minister Arlene Foster said the idea "was not discussed" with her at the weekend.

Queensferry Crossing celebrated on new £20 note

Summary: Bank of Scotland has unveiled its new £20 note design.

The polymer design has retained an image of Sir Walter Scott and The Mound in Edinburgh as well as the Forth Bridge. But a limited edition commemorative £20 note, to be released alongside the Forth Bridge design, celebrates the completion of the Queensferry Crossing. The notes are smaller than existing £20 notes and have several new security features. The front of the note will continue to feature the portrait of the novelist and poet, Sir Walter Scott, alongside the image of The Mound. The distinctive red Forth Bridge, which was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in July 2015, is on the reverse. One of the key security features of Bank of Scotland's polymer notes is the anti-counterfeit "window effect" which can be found in the windows of The Mound. The £20 polymer note features a holographic depth stripe, the top of the foil features a Northern Lights effect when tilted and additionally the clouds adjacent to the goddess Fame will move left to right when tilted east to west. Holders of the new £20 polymer note will recognise a new image of the Forth bridges, with the Queensferry Crossing visible in the background. In celebration of the longest three-tower, cable stayed bridge in the world, the Queensferry Crossing will be celebrated in its own right by featuring on a limited number of commemorative £20 notes. Designed by De La Rue, the commemorative notes will be marked with "QF & QC" with this pre-fix featuring only on this design. Tara Foley, managing director of the bank, said: "Bank of Scotland has issued bank notes for more than 320 years, showcasing the country's proud history. "The Queensferry Crossing is the perfect example of Scottish ingenuity and innovation, and that's why we have decided to commemorate the landmark site on a collection of our £20 polymer notes." Transport Minister Michael Matheson said: "It is marvellous to see Bank of Scotland marking the arrival of the record breaking structure over the Firth of Forth, the Queensferry Crossing, in this commemorative £20 note. "It's a fitting tribute to the ingenuity and endeavour of all of the people involved in the creation of this iconic bridge to have a special edition note dedicated to them." Measuring 139 x 73 mm (5.5in x 2.9in) compared to the current 149 x 80mm, (5.9in x 3.1in) the two notes are slightly smaller than the existing paper £20 notes in circulation. This size is consistent with the new £20 notes that will be issued by the Bank of England and other UK banks next year. Like the £10 Polymer note, the £20 note will also introduce the tactile emboss feature to aid the visually impaired. All existing paper Bank of Scotland £20 notes will be gradually withdrawn following the issue of the new note, but any currently in circulation will continue to be accepted at shops, banks and cash payment machines The Queensferry crossing The Queensferry Crossing opened to traffic on 30 August 2017. The structure spans 1.7 miles (2.7km) making it the longest three-tower, cable-stayed bridge in the world. It is the biggest infrastructure project in Scotland for a generation. The bridge helped set a new world record in 2013 when Transport Scotland achieved the largest continuous underwater concrete pour. The 24-hour non-stop operation successfully poured 16,869 cubic metres of concrete into the water-filled south tower caisson. Prior to the completion of the final closure sections on the deck, the balanced cantilevers which extend 322m (352 yards) north and south from the central tower, i.e. 644m (704 yards) tip to tip, were recorded by Guinness World Records as the longest ever. They are highest bridge towers in the UK at 210m (230 yards).

The quadruple amputee who needs the correct prosthetic

Summary: When Alex Lewis spoke to BBC Ouch in January about becoming a quadruple amputee, what shone through was his remarkable positivity. This remains - but his rehabilitation is being hampered by the need for prosthetics unavailable to him.

By Adam EleyBBC Victoria Derbyshire programme "I don't want to be on benefits or care allowance. It feels like they are shackles around you," Mr Lewis, from Stockbridge, Hampshire, tells the Victoria Derbyshire programme. In November 2013, what he thought was "man flu" turned out to be a streptococcal infection (type A) that had penetrated deep into his tissues and organs. It had triggered blood poisoning, or sepsis, a life-threatening condition that causes multiple organ failure, and left him in need of facial reconstruction and the amputation of four infected limbs. Since then, he has remained his positive self - but the next step in his search for independence is proving difficult to overcome. While his ambitions remain grounded in the every day - the ability to walk to the shops, to drive and to earn money for his family - the prosthetics that could potentially make this a reality are not available to him on the NHS in England. The micro-processor knee joints - which would allow him to walk with stability - are only provided to some injured veterans, as well as NHS patients in Scotland who meet certain criteria. "What we'd like to do is speak to the NHS in England and alter the system," he says. "If they were willing to help financially, then more people would be getting the right prosthetics, but it's trying to make them listen." Mr Lewis wants the NHS to consider the need for such prosthetics on a case-by-case basis, to take into account unique circumstances such as his. While NHS England could not comment on his specific case, it stated that earlier this year the independent Clinical Priorities Advisory Group had "concluded there was insufficient evidence to support routine commissioning [of micro-processor knee joints]", though there was "the intention to consider it again over the coming months". Mr Lewis believes, however, that the current alternatives limit his capabilities. "Rocker pylons [prosthetics on a short pole, with a large rocking foot] are a great training aid on a flat surface - but when it comes to walking around in the real world, they are not that good," he says. He says they have developed little since the 1960s, and make him feel vulnerable on the rough terrain of the farm where he lives. The second option is stubbies, or "elephant feet" as Mr Lewis likes to describe them - basic prosthetics that do not require a knee joint and can be attached directly to a prosthetic foot. But they are not free from problems. "With no knee joint, your hips have to do all the work - potentially causing long-term wear and tear," Mr Lewis says. "If I screw my hips up, I can't walk." As a result, they compare unfavourably to the micro-processor knee joints, which his prosthetist, George Tagliaferro, says offer double leg amputees safety and control. "The knee joints have sensors, allowing them to adapt to the environment around them. They know whether the user is going uphill or downhill, or ascending or descending stairs, and can react to make walking more stable," he adds. "This all happens in a split second, and reduces the risk of the user falling." This is especially important for Mr Lewis, where any falls could lead to the damage of arm joints or his reconstructed elbow.

These benefits have led Mr Lewis to take it upon himself to improve his situation - characteristic of his attitude to life since the infection developed. "Before I fell ill I was chronically laid back," he says, "and since falling ill I've become much more driven." Since establishing a trust fund to help him raise the £165,000 needed for the knee joints, he says, he has received constant good will and support - including a donation from Coldplay front man Chris Martin. His current total stands at £120,000. But even if he reaches his goal, this could be far from the end of the fundraising process. The prosthetics only come with a five-year guarantee, meaning parts - or even whole joints - may need replacing thereafter. "The costs are not viable in the long term," he says. "It is not as easy as saying, 'Here is the money, go and get yourself a new set of legs.'" For Mr Lewis, though, setbacks are something to overcome. In October, he will begin ground-breaking facial reconstruction surgery to reform his lips, with operations taking place every six months after for two years. He is also learning to use a hand-cycle after being given one as a donation, even having a special sports arm developed to enable him to use it. Once his training is complete, his goal is simple - to take it to the local pub. Follow @BBCOuch on Twitter and on Facebook, and listen to our monthly talk show

Harry Potter: How do you end a movie franchise?

Summary: As the final Harry Potter film arrives in cinemas, its producers and directors explain how they steered the world's most successful film franchise to its conclusion. But what does studio Warner Bros have lined up after Potter?

By Tim MastersEntertainment and arts correspondent, BBC News There is a chapter in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows novel called The Seven Potters. Any book about making of the Harry Potter movies is likely to contain a chapter entitled The Three Davids. Producers David Barron and David Heyman, and director David Yates have been the triumvirate in creative control of the Harry Potter franchise for the final four films. Now, as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 hits cinemas worldwide, they are adjusting to life without JK Rowling's boy wizard. "It's been an unbelievable journey," says Heyman, whose Heyday Films production company has made the Potter films from day one, with Warner Bros providing the financial muscle. "I've been doing this for 12 years solid and it's been the gift of all gifts," Heyman adds. "For a producer, that's such stability." The franchise has conjured up more than $6.4bn (£4bn) worldwide, making it the highest grossing film series, ahead of James Bond and Star Wars. Industry commentators have observed the Potter films' distinctive tone is a product of Warner Bros decision to defer control of the production to a small British team. Heyman admits the success of the first film in 2001 made that relationship easier. "Warners in general are quite tough, as all studios are, before you get to the starting line. Then they let you make the film as long as you work within the budget. "They have been respectful of us and allowed us to make the films we have. One of my sadnesses is that I will never have it so good again." He praises the studio's strategy of giving creative control to directors like Alfonso Cuaron (Prisoner of Azkaban) and Christopher Nolan (Batman series). "They are a film-maker's studio. People with a point of view - that's what they tend to like." Heyman, who worked in LA during the 1980s for Warner Bros and United Artists, set up Heyday Films in the UK in 1996, and secured the rights to Harry Potter the following year. Apart from the Harry Potter films, Heyman's producing credits include Yes Man, starring Jim Carrey, science-fiction thriller I Am Legend, with Will Smith, and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. He is currently producing Gravity, starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, with Cuaron directing. "I'm not easing into unemployment yet," says Heyman. "I view it not as the end but the end of the beginning." Deathly Hallows director David Yates describes Heyman as the "guardian" of JK Rowling's boy wizard on the big screen. "When I started on Order of the Phoenix, there were areas that David was very sensitive about. We would haggle and negotiate about what I could and couldn't do. "It got subsequently easier as we built up a relationship of trust over the films until it got to the point where he left me more on my own towards the end." Producer David Barron, says Yates, would keep him in line on the budget. "We were a good team and they were always my first audience. I like having something to bounce against. It's healthy. "You see some directors who become very successful surrounded by people who only say, 'Yes' - and then the standard of the work goes down." The Merseyside-born director won his first Bafta for BBC period drama The Way We Live Now. In 2003, he directed the drama series State of Play, and the following year Sex Traffic, for which he won another Bafta. Cauldron of cash Yates, who directed the last four of the eight Potter films, admits he might go through "a bit of a dip" now the films are over. "It's been physically and mentally hard to do four films back to back, but it's been fun." Having been a cauldron of cash for 10 years, how is the end of the Potter films likely to affect Warner Bros? Producer David Barron is no doubt the studio will survive the loss of its top earner. "I'm sure they'd like it if there was another one, but they've got plenty of material that I think will be very audience friendly." He names Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Killer and Tim Burton's Dark Shadows among the candidates. Also on Warner Bros list of releases for 2012 are Clash of the Titans 2; Clint Eastwood's J Edgar, starring Leonardo DiCaprio; Superman: Man of Steel - and the first of Peter Jackson's Hobbit films. While Barron doesn't envisage any more Potter novels from JK Rowling - "I think it's a full-stop for her" - he does see the "three Davids" working together again. "I'd like to make a great psychological thriller, or a Western - if it's good character-driven material we'd all be interested I think." Barron and Heyman have recently produced thriller Page Eight, written and directed by David Hare and starring Potter regulars Ralph Fiennes and Michael Gambon. Heyman points out that while the Potter films are finished, the franchise is very much alive. "They are already talking about where the DVD launch is going to be, and Warners will find a way to repackage in every which way the ultimate collection. "And I'm sure there will be Potter conventions..." Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is out on 15 July
