Celebrity Big Brother 2018: Who's in the house?

Summary: Celebrity Big Brother is back - and the latest line-up includes soap stars, reality show veterans, a Hollywood actress and a former footballer - but despite the rumours, there is no sign of Stormy Daniels (as yet...).

This year's theme is "eye of the storm" and viewers who had been expecting to see the adult film star - who has had a legal battle with US president Donald Trump - were teased with a presidential-themed task on the opening night. While the show's viewing figures aren't anything like what they used to be, Channel 5 as always is promising surprises as the series unfolds. Let's take a look at the new housemates: Gabby Allen If you're still suffering withdrawal symptoms from Love Island, its 2017 star Gabby Allen will be a sight for sore eyes. Since leaving the villa, she and former boyfriend and Blazin' Squad star Marcel Somerville have broken up. From finding love in one home televised across the nation, to moving on in another, Gabby's life is eventful to say the least. Dan Osborne Most CBB series include a current or former star of ITV's reality show Towie, so it's no surprise to see former Towie star and resident bad boy Dan Osborne in the house. But here's the goss: Dan split from his wife, Eastenders actress Jacqueline Jossa earlier this year, after being romantically linked to the former Love Island star Gabby Allen (who we've just mentioned of course). Maybe the Channel 5 producers are trying to conjure up some of that Love Island magic in the Big Brother house? Roxanne Pallett Just weeks after surviving a car crash, the former Emmerdale actress will probably be enjoying some R&R in the Big Brother house - or at least what passes for R&R in that crazy environment. In July she was taking part in a stock car race in North Yorkshire, when she was airlifted to hospital after being cut from the race car. This week she revealed she got engaged to her boyfriend just seven days after meeting him. And now she's been flung into the CBB house, a big test for many a new-fledged relationship in the past. Kirstie Alley Former Cheers actress Kirstie was the first celebrity to enter the famous house this series and therefore was given the first task, to act as an (unelected) president of her housemates. Despite her a successful acting career, nowadays there's a lot more public interest in her life as a Scientologist. Kirstie was raised as a Methodist (a denomination of Protestant Christianity) but converted to the Church of Scientology in the late 1970s and has since become one of the religion's most famous members, alongside Tom Cruise and John Travolta. Sally Morgan Known as Psychic Sally, we wonder whether she can already predict which celebrity will be crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother. Sally does more than 150 live stage shows a year and has also starred in several TV shows, focusing on her supernatural gifts. And five years ago, she received a £125,000 payout from the Daily Mail over reports she had received instructions from a hidden earpiece during a show in Dublin. The paper apologised and said it accepted the article was untrue. Rodrigo Alves Rodrigo earned the nickname of The Human Ken Doll after undergoing more than 100 surgeries and procedures, including pec implants and botox, to totally transform himself. He is a regular on red carpets and has more than 700,000 followers on Instagram, where he is seen frequenting beaches, partying on yachts and flaunting his collection of corsets. In 2017, when there were reports that Rodrigo was going to enter the house, he told Metro: "'If I were to go on a show of that format, it will show the public the real side of me, because all they know is what they read on the news." Chloe Ayling Model Chloe made headlines last year after she was lured into a fake photoshoot in Italy and held captive for six days. In June, Lucasz Herba was convicted of kidnapping, extortion and carrying false documents. He was jailed for almost 17 years. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live in July, Chloe said: "Because I wasn't crying and in tears, that's what led to people to think that I was not being truthful." Ryan Thomas The former Coronation Street star has followed his brothers into reality TV and is swapping the Rovers Return Inn for the Diary Room. Ryan, who played builder Jason Grimshaw, is already the favourite to win this year's series with the bookies. He's not the first member of his family to venture into reality TV - his brother Scott is a former Love Island contestant and, in 2016, Scott's twin Adam appeared on I'm A Celebrity. And Ryan quickly won the first viewers' vote of the series - being elected vice-president of the Big Brother House on opening night - which is usually a clear sign that he is the most-recognisable and most popular at the outset. But CBB history demonstrates how quickly that can change. Jermaine Pennant The former Arsenal and Liverpool footballer has made some of his former teammates nervous by entering the house. "I think they are concerned, yeah," he told the Daily Star. "They are worried about what hidden gems I might come out with, skeletons that might come out of the closet." The 35-year-old was just 15 when he was sold by lowly Notts County to Arsenal for £2m and he has had an eventful career since then - with 24 England under-21 caps, and an appearance in the Champions League final. But he has also hit the headlines for spending time in jail for drink-driving and driving while disqualified - and for being the first Premier League star to play while wearing an electronic tag. Hardeep Singh Kohli Hardeep is no stranger to reality TV - having appeared on Celebrity MasterChef and a celebrity version of The Apprentice. The 49-year-old Scottish comedian and broadcaster-turned chef also lived on the streets while filming Famous, Rich and Homeless for the BBC. In 2009, while working for the BBC's One Show, he "apologised unreservedly" following a complaint of inappropriate behaviour from a female colleague. He was dropped from the show for six months but never returned. The father-of-two said at the time he recognised he had "overstepped the mark" but had been "badly treated" by the BBC over the incident. Natalie Nunn Natalie will only really be known to those viewers who gorge on American reality TV shows - but they have provided some of CBB's most memorable contestants in recent years. She first appeared on the small screen when she took part in season four of US hit Bad Girls Club in 2009. The show is focused on fights and arguments between a small group of unique but highly aggressive women, so it took some effort for Natalie to be booted off the show after a physical altercation with her co-stars. Maybe the British sensibility will kick in and mellow Natalie out during her stay in the UK? But arriving for the opening night show wearing a crown and declaring herself "the Queen of England" suggests not. Nick Leeson Among the usual recycled reality stars and soap actors, this is probably the most unlikely housemate on this year's show - and one whose infamy may have to be carefully explained to any viewers under 30. Nick was a Watford-born banker who briefly became one of the most talked-about people in the world. In 1995, while working for Barings Bank, he made a series of increasingly risky financial trades - unauthorised actions that caused £800m in losses and led to the collapse of Barings, the world's second oldest merchant bank. It was such a sensational incident that it was later made into a film - called Rogue Trader - with Nick portrayed by Ewan McGregor. After spending time in a Singapore prison for his rogue trading, Nick became a motivational speaker - but it will be interesting to see if housemates put him in charge of their shopping budget. Ben Jardine This is the second reality show in the space of a year for Ben. In December, he married police officer Stephanie for Channel 4's Married At First Sight. They met for the first time at the altar but the couple broke up after the show's final episode aired on TV. He was later accused of cheating on Stephanie and admitted to kissing another woman behind her back. Oh, and did we mention, he's going to be a dad too, fathering a child with a mystery woman. He told The Sun: "I have been blessed. Out of all the chaos of this past year something beautiful has happened, which I will forever protect and be grateful for."

Q&A: Social care

Summary: Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has announced government plans for wide-ranging social care reforms in England in a statement to the Commons on Monday.

But what is the situation in England at present and why is reform necessary? Those with assets worth less than £123,000 will be means-tested for support. The average value of homes - most people's largest asset - shows that those below the qualifying threshold live mainly in the Midlands and north of England.

Watchmen creator Alan Moore: Modern superhero culture is embarrassing

Summary: Is it embarrassing for adults to like superheroes?

According to Alan Moore - creator of the Watchmen series and widely considered one of the greatest comic book writers - it is. He says superheroes are perfectly fine for 12 or 13-year-olds but adults should think again. "I think the impact of superheroes on popular culture is both tremendously embarrassing and not a little worrying," he says. Alan wrote Watchmen in 1986. The series depicts an alternate history where superheroes emerged in the 1940s and 1960s and their presence changed the course of history. He believes the characters are "perfectly suited" to the imaginations of a younger audience - but now, they serve a "different function, and are fulfilling different needs". The writer claims adults enjoy superhero films because they don't wish to leave their "relatively reassuring childhoods" behind, or move into the 21st century. The comments were made in a 2017 interview with Brazilian newspaper Folha de São Paulo - the full details of which have only just been released. He adds the popularity of the genre among adults suggests a "kind of deliberate, self-imposed state of emotional arrest". And his criticism extends to creators. He says superheroes are written and drawn by people who've never stood up for their own rights against the companies that employ them - saying they appear "to be largely employed as cowardice compensators". He claims the lack of diversity in the comic book world suggests books and iconic characters are "still very much white supremacist dreams of the master race". But there was praise from Marvel fans earlier this year, with the announcement that the next stage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will feature its first deaf superhero, its first Asian-American superhero and an openly gay superhero. Debate around the genre is pretty hot right now. In an interview with Empire, film director Martin Scorsese was asked about Marvel movies - and he argued they should be considered something other than cinema. "I don't see them," he said. "I tried, you know? But that's not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn't the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being." Follow Newsbeat on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Italy's state-owned broadcaster cancels 'sexist' talk show

Summary: An Italian talk show is taken off air after issuing sexist advice on dating Eastern European women, the Grand Mosque in Mecca poses as the backdrop for a Turkish proposal, and a Ghanian footballer mistakenly thanks both his wife and girlfriend in an interview.

By Lamia EstatieBBC News Italian talk show's dating tips slammed An Italian state-owned broadcaster has taken a talk show off air after it listed 10 reasons to date Eastern European women, including that they are "always sexy" and "are perfect housewives". The broadcaster Rai Uno/Rai 1 had earlier apologised for the transmission, which Italian President of the Chamber of Deputies, Laura Boldrini, described as "unacceptable" and "offensive". The afternoon show "Let's talk about it... Saturday", which is "Parliamone... Sabato" in Italian, is hosted by Paola Perego. In its latest edition, a panel of celebrities discussed reasons why Italian men "preferred" dating foreign women. The TV show broadcast a graphic entitled "Reasons to choose an Eastern European girlfriend", which listed: "1. They are all mums, but after giving birth they regain their figure 2. They are always sexy. No tracksuits or pyjamas 3. They forgive cheating 4. They are willing to let their man rule 5. They are perfect housewives. They learn all house works at young age 6. They don't whine or get clingy, and they never hold a grudge." The image was widely shared and criticised on Italian social media and made headlines in newspapers La Stampa and Repubblica. There were calls for the presenter to be suspended and an investigation launched. "You get distracted a second and you find yourself in 1950," one Twitter user commented. Some parodied the list, making their own version of reasons to date Italian men (some too explicit to list here). Rai 1 Director Andrea Fabiano tweeted an apology: "Errors must be recognised without excuses. I apologise to everyone for what has been seen and heard at #Parliamonesabato." The broadcaster's president, Monica Maggioni, said: "I feel personally involved as a woman, and I apologise... if this representation is given by the public service broadcaster, it is a crazy mistake, unacceptable." "First, I apologise. Then, the company will try to understand how something like this could have happened." A Grand (Mosque) proposal It's not typically a location for grand romantic gestures. But one man chose the Kaaba inside the Grand Mosque in the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia to pop the question. Yusuf Akyön, a correspondent for Turkey's state-run broadcaster TRT and the son of his country's former media attaché to the kingdom, proposed to the love of his life there. In a video of the proposal, shared widely on social media over the weekend, Mr Akyön's girlfriend reportedly said she would only accept if he got down on one knee, to which he happily obliged. The woman put the ring on while their family, standing nearby, congratulated them. Some commended the couple for getting engaged in front of fellow Muslims in the "house of God". "How beautiful for them to get engaged in the house of God, May God bless them in abundance," one user said. But not everyone was quick to extend their well wishes to the couple. One Twitter user said it was an "absolute disregard for the sanctity of the Grand Mosque". She continued: "This is a place for worship, not for engagements." Another user said that going down on one knee to propose was the "Christian way". Due to the criticism, Mr Akyön is said to have now taken down the footage of the proposal and his Twitter account appears to have been deactivated. The footballer's faux pas Ever had that sinking feeling when you've said something you really wish you hadn't? Mohammed Anas, 22, probably has. The Ghanian striker for South Africa's Free State Stars F.C. won "man of the match" following his team's Absa Premiership 2-2 draw with Ajax Cape Town on Friday, 17 March in the Athlone Stadium. But after being given the accolade - usually given to a player who made the most impact in a game - Mr Anas made an embarrassing slip-up on live television, by thanking both the missus and the mistress. In the short interview with South Africa's SuperSport, which has been viewed thousands of times this past weekend, he said: "I always wish to win one of these and I got it. So, thank you very much for giving me this. "I appreciate my fans also... "My wife and my girlfriend...I mean, my wife...sorry to say. I'm so sorry. "My wife, Liesel, I love you so much, Aya, I love you so much from my heart." And social media users didn't miss out on poking fun at the footballer for the gaffe. While others wanted to inquire as to whether he was still alive after the supposed revelation. One user responded to a tweet by the Free State Stars praising Mr Anas's performance: "Seems like his performance off the pitch also leading some other lines. #FreeStateCheaters ????" "Mohammed Anas of @FreeStateStars made my weekend for thanking both his wife and girlfriend after he was chosen as man of the match," another added.

Documentary claims to expose North Korea trying to dodge sanctions

Summary: A new documentary with a bizarre cast of characters claims to shed light on North Korea's efforts to evade international sanctions, by tricking members of Kim Jong-un's secretive regime into signing fake arms deals.

By Paul AdamsDiplomatic Correspondent The film features an out-of-work Danish chef fascinated by communist dictatorships; a Spanish nobleman and North Korean propagandist with a penchant for military uniform; and a former French legionnaire and convicted cocaine dealer who plays the part of an international man of mystery. But could it all be true? One former UN official told the BBC he found it "highly credible". The film, titled The Mole, is the work of maverick Danish film maker Mads Brügger, who says he orchestrated a complex three-year sting operation to reveal how North Korea flouts international law. The out-of-work chef fascinated by communist dictatorships is Ulrich Larsen, who, with Brügger's help, infiltrates the Korean Friendship Association, a pro-regime group based in Spain. Larsen moves up the ranks and ultimately wins the favour and apparent trust of North Korean government officials. Membership of the KFA brings Larsen into contact with its flamboyant founder and president, Alejandro Cao de Benós, a Spanish nobleman known around the world as "the Gatekeeper of North Korea". During the film, in which he is sometimes seen in North Korean military uniform, Cao de Benós boasts of his access and influence with the regime in Pyongyang. Then there is Jim Latrache-Qvortrup, described as a former French legionnaire and convicted cocaine dealer. Latrache-Qvortrup is hired to play the part of an international arms dealer, which he does in an assortment of flashy suits. Pulling the strings is Brügger himself, who calls himself "the puppet master". He claims to have spent 10 years working on his film - now a joint production by the BBC and Scandinavian broadcasters. The film is funny, grotesque and at times barely credible. "I am a film maker who craves sensation," Brügger admits in the film. But Hugh Griffiths, who was co-ordinator of the UN Panel of Experts on North Korea between 2014 and 2019, called the revelations in the film "highly credible". "This film is the most severe embarrassment to Chairman Kim Jong-un that we have ever seen," said Griffiths. "Just because it appears amateurish does not mean the intent to sell and gain foreign currency revenue is not there. Elements of the film really do correspond with what we already know." North Korea has been under UN sanctions since 2006 because of its nuclear ambitions - its development and testing have been documented in regular reports by a Panel of Experts since 2010. But it is unprecedented to see North Korean officials, on film, discussing how to evade sanctions in order to export weapons. In one key moment in the film, Ulrich Larsen, the former chef and "The Mole" of the title, films as Jim Latrache-Qvortrup, aka "Mr James" the arms dealer, signs a contract with the representative of a North Korean arms factory, with government officials present. The encounter takes place in a gaudy basement restaurant in a Pyongyang suburb. Not all the Koreans present are properly identified, and, laughing about it afterwards, Latrache-Qvortrup says he had to invent a company name when grilled by one of the Korean officials. It seems incredible the team would not have given any previous thought to such a basic detail, just as it stretches credulity to think that genuine Korean officials would allow such a meeting to be filmed and for documents to be signed and exchanged. The signed document bears the signature of Kim Ryong-chol, president of Narae Trading Organisation. Narae is a common name on the Korean Peninsula, but the most recent UN Panel of Experts report, dated 28 August 2020, says that a company called Korea Narae Trading Corporation "is engaged in sanctions evasion-related activities for the purposes of generating revenue that supports the prohibited activities of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea". Griffiths, the former UN official, said it was telling that the Koreans present were apparently willing to deal with a private businessman about whom they knew nothing. "It shows that UN sanctions are working. The North Koreans are clearly desperate to sell their weapons," he said. At one point, during a meeting in Kampala in 2017, Latrache-Qvortrup is asked by "Mr Danny" (described as a "North Korean arms dealer") whether he would be able to deliver North Korean weaponry to Syria. The question reflects North Korea's increasing difficulty in doing this for itself, Griffiths said. "Mr James" is in Uganda, accompanied by some of the same North Korean officials seen in Pyongyang, to discuss the purchase of an island in Lake Victoria. Ugandan officials are told it's for the construction of a luxury resort, but Mr James and the Koreans are secretly planning to build an underground factory to manufacture weapons and drugs. Again, it seems fantastical, but North Korea has done this sort of thing before. The regime built an ammunition factory at a disused copper mine in the Leopard Valley in Namibia. Ostensibly, they were in the country to build statues and monuments. The activities of the Korea Mining Development Trading Corporation (Komid) were investigated by the UN Panel of Experts between 2015 and 2018. UN pressure on Namibia may help explain why the North Koreans, who in the film initially suggest building there again, switched their attention to Uganda, said Griffiths. "North Korean projects in Namibia were effectively shut down," the former UN official said. "By 2018, Uganda was one of the very few African countries… where North Korean arms brokers could still travel at will." Another aspect of the film of interest to international observers is the apparent involvement of accredited North Korean diplomats in embassies abroad in facilitating efforts to violate UN sanctions. In one sequence, Ulrich Larsen visits the North Korean embassy in Stockholm, where he receives an envelope of plans for the project in Uganda from a diplomat described as Mr Ri. Like many of the documentary's key scenes, the encounter is secretly filmed by Larsen. As he leaves, Mr Ri warns him to be discreet. "If something happens, the embassy knows nothing about this, OK?" Mr Ri says. According to Griffiths, the sequence "fits a pattern". "The vast majority of sanctions investigations by the UN Panel found that North Korean diplomatic premises or passport holders were involved in the actual or attempted violations," he said. None of the deals discussed in the film ever come to fruition. Eventually, as partners start to demand money, Brügger makes "Mr James" disappear. The filmmakers say their evidence has been presented to the North Korean embassy in Stockholm, but there has been no response. Cao de Benós, the founder of the KFA, said that he was "play acting" and that the film was "biased, staged and manipulate".

Jack Garratt on BBC Introducing, Katy Perry and swallowing a lake

Summary: One week from now, Jack Garratt will win his first ever award.

By Mark SavageMusic reporter The 24-year-old singer, producer and songwriter has been waiting in the wings for six years, ever since he uploaded a song to the BBC Introducing website in the hope of being played on his local station. He was later championed by Zane Lowe, who made his debut single, Worry, his "next hype" track; while Ellie Goulding and Katy Perry declared themselves fans. Garratt's stock in trade is the heartfelt ballad, performed in a wistful falsetto that has seen him compared to Ed Sheeran. What sets them apart is the smart production - spliced vocals, dubstep drops and treated guitar lines - which suggest an attempt to bring Jamie xx and James Blake's electronic experimentalism into the mainstream. Next Thursday in Birmingham, he will accept the Introducing Award at the BBC's Music Awards. He's also been announced as the winner of the Brits Critics' Choice Prize, and as one of the 15 artists on the BBC Sound of 2016. In other words, big things are expected of the luxuriantly-bearded singer from Little Chalfont in Buckinghamshire. "It's the first moment of validation I've had from a peer figure in the UK music industry," he says of the sudden onslaught of praise. "It really is a genuine honour and a real privilege." Speaking ahead of the awards, he discusses celebrity endorsements, synaesthesia and how he "swallowed a lake" on his latest video shoot. How does it feel to win the BBC Introducing Award? It's pretty intense actually. It's not something I ask for or look out for, but it's the first moment of validation I've had from a peer figure in the UK music industry. So it is a genuine honour and a real privilege. Have you written a speech? I'm way too terrified to entertain the idea that I'll actually be going up on stage. But if that's what I need to do, I'll definitely write something down, otherwise I'll end up talking for 10 minutes. Maybe you could challenge Liam Gallagher to a fight, like Robbie Williams at the Brits. Yes! I'll rewind time and pretend I'm one of them. That would be great! Your association with BBC Introducing goes back to 2009. What prompted you to upload your music? I was writing acoustic music - sort of singer-songwriter bluesy stuff - and a producer mentioned it me. I was, admittedly, sceptical about it. It hadn't quite proven itself to be a successful platform at that point. But I'm very glad I listened. Your first radio play came shortly afterwards on BBC Beds, Herts and Bucks - so why did it take six years to get to this stage? When I was a kid and writing more acoustic songs, I was doing it more for the attention than for the love of the music. I knew I needed to change something because I wasn't having fun, and wasn't liking the songs I was writing. What was the song that showed you the way forward? It was called I Couldn't Want You Anyway, and it was the first time I really sat down at a piano and wrote a song. It was a completely new sound and it really resonated with what I was feeling at the time. I remember saying to my management: "I've got this song. I'm going to try and produce it myself. Give me some time to have a crack at this." And I had a couple of days in a friend's studio and I came up with a demo version that I ended up using on my first EP, Remnants. You have several songs called Synaesthesia [a condition where one of the senses, such as hearing, triggers a sensation in another, like taste or colour]. Is it something you have? No, but I know a lot of people who have synaesthesia, or who can see colours through sound. It's something I'm fascinated by. The goal with those songs was to give people the idea of what synaesthesia could possibly feel like. Or to make music that's so dynamic or vivid it could trigger synaesthesia in someone who does have it. Has anyone ever told you what colours they hear when they play your music? People tell me different things. There's a song of mine called The Love You're Given. In the second verse, there's a big falling synth pattern and someone told me that when they hear it, it's just spots of purple on a background of blinding white. What's interesting is that when I was making that piece, that was the image I had in my head - tiny dots on a background that's too bright for your eyes to be able to comprehend. For someone who has the condition turn around and go "that's actually what I saw", was a nice piece of validation. Your latest video, Breathe Life, sees you lying on your back in a lake, while half a dozen synchronised swimmers dance around you. Was it a hard shoot? It was fun but it was challenging. We filmed it in California, so it was a sunny 72 degrees the whole day - but that doesn't make much difference when you spend 12 hours floating in tepid water. I was a prune within the first half hour. How often did you get kicked in the face? Only a couple of times! The real problem was the splashback when their limbs re-entered the water. I swallowed half of the lake. You've played a lot of gigs this year. What has that taught you? Not be intimidated by whatever stage you walk out onto - whether it's big or small. If you can fool every single member of the audience into thinking you're confident and you deserve to be there, everyone will jump on your side. Do you have any pre-show rituals? Honestly, it is really very boring. I just stand in my dressing room and jump up and down and freak out for about 10 minutes. Then I'll walk out on stage. I used to be in a band where the singer couldn't perform unless he'd eaten a Mars Bar, downed a pint of Guinness and thrown up. That's brilliant! I'm stealing that. I'm telling that to everyone from now on. Earlier this year, Katy Perry tweeted a link to your song The Love You're Given, calling it her song of the day. How did that change the trajectory of your career? It completely opened up another door. She has 78 million followers so you're talking about someone who has, at her fingertips, the ability to reach more people than the population of the country I was born in. That's crazy to think about. Your album, Phase, was finished in October but it isn't out until February. Is the wait driving you crazy? Pretty much. But it's going to be a good four months. The plan is to go all over the world and say: "Hey, this is going to be available to you in February and if you want it, please go and get it." For now, it's a little bit of waiting time. The hard work has been done and the album is fermenting. Then it's going to come out and everyone's going to get wasted on it.

Post-medieval silver mount found in Deeside declared treasure

Summary: A silver artefact believed to date back to the early 17th Century has been declared treasure after its discovery in Flintshire.

Gordana Mitchell, of Deeside, found the mount while metal detecting in March 2013. It features a motif of a female saint with long hair, botanical scrolls and a cherub. The mount is thought to be a decorative hinge or a decoration from a small bible or prayer book. Dr Mark Redknap from National Museum Wales said: "Although incomplete, it is an interesting example of 17th Century decorative silverwork."

UKIP: 'No skeletons in my cupboard'

Summary: If you want evidence of how UKIP is trying to become more professional, look no further than the form potential candidates have to fill out, a copy of which I have obtained at the party's conference in Torquay.

James LandaleDeputy political editor@BBCJLandaleon Twitter Wannabe UKIP candidates have to declare the following: "I never engaged in, advocated or condoned racist, violent, criminal or anti democratic activity. "I have never been a member of or had links with any organisation, group or association which the national executive committee considers is liable to bring the party into disrepute. "I have never been convicted of any offence punishable by a custodial sentence, whether or not a custodial sentence was actually imposed. I shall notify the Party Chairman and General Secretary immediately upon being interviewed under caution." Later the form asks specifically: "Are you or have you ever been a member of the BNP, EDL or any other organisation that might be of public interest?" And this is my favourite: "I do not have any 'skeletons in my cupboard' that may cause me or UKIP embarrassment if they were to come out during the election." On one level this is sensible stuff; a party that has got its fingers burned before now vetting the people that could be representing UKIP very soon in local government or even Strasbourg. But the nature of the questions is nonetheless revealing, reflecting the fears and concerns of a party that by its own admission is still growing up, trying to shed the less savoury past of some of its members.

Coronavirus: Are EU divisions banished after the deal?

Summary: Crack open the Easter eggs. They've done it!

Katya AdlerEurope editor@BBCkatyaadleron Twitter After two tortuous weeks of wrangling, EU finance ministers have agreed a number of common financial measures to protect the workers, businesses and EU countries most in need during the coronavirus pandemic. These safety nets, as the EU is calling them, amount to €500bn (£430bn; $540bn). That's separate from the €750bn rescue package already announced by the European Central Bank. There's talk too amongst EU leaders of an additional Recovery Fund (of up to another €500bn, if the French get their way) which countries could then access once the health crisis is over and attention turns to Europe's Covid-19-battered economies. "Our faith in Europe has proven correct!" tweeted the Italian president of the European Parliament, David Sassoli triumphantly, as soon as EU finance ministers announced the deal. So is he right: Is everything hunky-dory now in the EU? The dark mutterings of deep divisions banished? Not really. The EU is stumbling through this crisis as it has done through previous ones like the migration and the financial crises. The bloc is not about to disintegrate but scars will remain in countries that felt the chilly absence of EU solidarity in their hour of coronavirus need. "This has not been our finest moment," a diplomat from an influential EU country told me. "Our response has come late and has been marred by nationalism. Solidarity went out the window with the first coronavirus victim." The diplomat spoke of France and Germany's initial refusal to export medical protective equipment, meaning Italy was forced to beg for some. He complained of the damage done to the whole of the single market as EU countries shut borders with one another in an attempt to protect themselves from the spread of the virus. Then there's the recent ugly and very public debate about coronavirus debt-sharing. Spain and Italy demanded it, in the forms of coronabonds. Wealthier, cautious Germany and the Netherlands gave a flat no. Again, each country prioritised national concerns over the EU as a whole. Understandable, but hardly a poster child for European cohesion. The Italian prime minister demanded coronavirus-related debt sharing between member states. If he didn't, he knew he would be attacked by populist nationalist politicians at home. Deep down, Giuseppe Conte must have realised Germany and the Netherlands would never say yes. They face populist Eurosceptic MPs back home too. They'd have been vilified for writing a "blank cheque" with taxpayers money to finance southern Europe with all its perceived economic weaknesses. So is the EU fit for purpose? That depends which purpose. If the main focus of membership is being part of the lucrative single market, then yes, the European Union is fit for purpose. But if it's an all-for-one-and-one-for-all kind of union, then the coronavirus crisis has found the EU lacking. Of course the emergency package announced by EU finance ministers (still to be signed-off by EU leaders) is not by any means insignificant. It will be welcomed in Italy and Spain. Germany may no longer be taking the lead in trying to find or force solutions to EU crises, but it has been lauded and applauded for taking in Covid-19 patients from Italy and France and for sending ventilators to the UK. Romania is one of a number of countries sending teams of doctors and nurses to other EU nations in need of help. When push comes to shove, in a globalised, unpredictable world, most in the EU think it's better to stay together imperfectly than to stand alone. No EU member is seriously agitating to leave. But, the Covid-19 crisis could have been a key moment to prove nay-sayers wrong. Instead EU actions thus far have added fuel to the Eurosceptic debate. EU leaders have another chance to demonstrate solidarity when it comes to rebuilding European economies after the health crisis abates. It's in their own interest. The EU's reputation and the robustness of the single market depend on it.

For hire: American tech brains choosing Canada

Summary: For decades, Canada has tried to stop top graduates in the so-called STEM fields of science, tech, engineering and math from heading elsewhere for work, mainly to the US. Have the country's immigration policies and emerging tech scene - with some help from US politics - managed to compensate for the "brain drain"?

By Jessica MurphyBBC News, Toronto In 2016, after six years in California working as a software engineer at LinkedIn, Vikram Rangnekar was itching to launch a startup. India-born Rangnekar was eyeing a move to Singapore - where he founded his first startup - or trying somewhere new like Berlin. He couldn't see himself launching his project in San Francisco with his H-1B visa. "I could see how the whole immigration thing was going in the US," he said. Toronto didn't figure into his plans until a chance encounter with a Canadian tech entrepreneur who advised him to look north. He was told Toronto was the "hidden secret of North America", an underappreciated city with a fast-growing tech ecosystem. Rangnekar decided to take the chance, landing in Canada's largest city in 2017 with his family. "I had been thinking about working on my own startup idea for while now," he later wrote on his MOV North website, which focuses on promoting the country as an emerging tech powerhouse. "Getting permanent residency, public-funded healthcare and living in the middle of Canada's tech capital gave me the freedom and courage to explore that option." That people like Vikram Rangnekar are seeing Canada as a destination doesn't come as a surprise to Vancouver-based immigration lawyer Richard Kurland. "You've got for Canada a combination of design and circumstance that's setting the stage for a golden age of human capital acquisition," he says. New immigration policies are making it easier for workers with in-demand skills like Rangnekar to settle in Canada. In 2015, the country launched its "Express Entry" programme - a free, online process that allows skilled workers to apply to immigrate to Canada. Kurland calls it a "game changer". Under the programme, each qualifying candidate is awarded points based on work, education, language skills, and a handful of other factors. A select number of candidates who score above a certain rank are invited to apply for permanent residence. "You pick the top scoring individuals - the cream of the cream," Kurland says. The transparent, points-based system has become a major driver of economic immigration to Canada. A new work visa that helps companies to quickly hire global talent has also made an impact. In March, a small survey of high-growth Toronto tech companies by the Mars Discovery District - a public-private tech incubator - found that respondents reported an increase in international interest in working in Canada, as well as a boost in applicants and hires. Mars CEO Yung Wu says this survey suggests that "Canada is becoming a destination for the first time in my career instead of a source for talent". "We had to fight tooth and nail just to keep our teams from being poached by Boston, New York and San Francisco." Just over half the companies received more international applicants and 45% made more international hires, an interest firms said was driven by immigration policies and the emerging tech scene. Many firms saw a spike in international interest of 50-100%. Some firms reported a 300% jump. The top five countries of origin for applicants were the US (82%), India (55%), China (36%), Brazil (27%), and the UK (14%). US President Donald Trump's H-1B visa crackdowns on India and China also correlated to an increase in applicants from those countries. The president has targeted the coveted visas - used to place foreign workers in high-skilled US jobs - as part of his "Buy America, Hire America" reforms to ensure they are not used to replace skilled American workers with cheaper overseas counterparts. In 2017, Toronto was North America's fastest growing tech market. Montreal and Vancouver also have their own emerging tech scenes. This week, online retail giant Amazon announced it would create 3,000 e-commerce, cloud computing, and machine learning technology jobs in Vancouver. California or bust That means Canadian firms need all the talent they can hire. But even as policy makers made moves to attract highly skilled immigrants, there still aren't enough people to fill the demand. A 2016 estimate projected the country will be short 220,000 skilled tech workers by 2020. And Canadian university graduates in the STEM fields are still heading to the US in large numbers. A recent report out from the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs and Brock University found that 25% of the STEM graduates sampled for the research opted to work outside of Canada, mostly in the US. Over 65% of software engineering students are leaving Canada. The graduates are attracted by higher pay - American firms pay up to 30% more - as well as the chance to work with some of the world's largest tech companies. Respondents also reported student-driven peer pressure to go work for large American tech firms, dubbed the "Cali or bust" maxim. 'Brain Churn' A LinkedIn Workforce Report from November 2017 looking at Toronto's labour market suggested the city was gaining employees domestically from Montreal and overseas from India and the United Arab Emirates. But it lost the most workers to San Francisco, New York City and Los Angeles. Rangnekar says he's noticed interest in the US and Canadian market flows both ways. "I meet Canadians here and they're asking me for advice on how to go to the US. I'm advising people in Silicon Valley on how they can move to Canada," he says. Zachary Spicer, who led the Brock and U of T study, said there is "perhaps a bit of a brain churn" happening as graduates leave for elsewhere and Canadian firms bring people in. But even with skilled workers coming in, the country loses talent, innovation, and intellectual property when graduates from Canadian universities leave - to the detriment of the economy. Nic Skitt, who is from the UK, was headhunted by founders of a tech startup called "Tickld" and moved to Toronto in 2014. Like Rangnekar, Canada wasn't originally on his radar. But Skitt fell in love with the city, which he calls metropolitan, safe, and diverse. "From a practical point of view, the ability to be a tech startup in Toronto is phenomenal. The network of venture capital, of suppliers, designers, general networking is extremely strong," he says. But Skitt says the company struggled to hire talent. Competing with the Canadian offices of companies like Google and Facebook for employees, the startup sometimes had to hire "tier two" developers or rely on American freelancers. "That is one negative in this environment. It's so good a lot of employers are fighting for the same people," says Skitt, who is now with new Toronto-based business MoneyWise. Kurland says: "There are chronic global shortages and global competition for the brightest and best in key industry sectors of the economy." "And Canada has to compete against the rest of the world for these workers." Researchers behind the Brain Drain report say Canada can take steps to stem the tide, like closing the compensation gap and improving promotion of the northern tech scene. Spicer says the time is ripe for ambitious talent to return and make their mark in Canada. "I think a lot of firms are ready to blow. The missing component is talent," he said. "We need the sector firing on all cylinders."

The trouble with saying you don't want children

Summary: When Holly Brockwell spoke to the BBC about her decision not to have children, she knew she might be criticised on social media. But the attacks went far beyond what she had expected - accusations of selfishness soon turned into vitriolic abuse that made her deactivate her Twitter account.

By Alison GeeBBC News Magazine "The fact is, there's nothing about creating another human that appeals to me," 29-year-old Holly Brockwell wrote in a story we published at the weekend, explaining why she wants to be sterilised. Despite seeing a number of doctors she has so far not been able to undergo the procedure, either on the National Health Service or privately. The reaction to the story was instant. "The volume of messages I had within half an hour on Twitter, Facebook, email and Instagram worried me," she says. Many were supportive, both men and women saying they felt the same way. As for the negative ones, some said things she had heard before - that she would change her mind, that she was selfish and that the National Health Service shouldn't pay for her to be sterilised as the money would be better spent on sick children. Then came the abuse. "People sought me out to say they were glad I haven't reproduced, that they're pleased there won't be any more people like me in the world. They cast aspersions on my mum and said I need psychological help," Brockwell says. But that was only the start. "One man said he wouldn't want to have sex with me (except he was far less polite about it). Some said the solution is for me to stay celibate which suggests they only ever have sex when they want babies, which is ludicrous." There were other much worse comments. "Things that I can't repeat and I would never say to anyone no matter what they had done," she says. "Those things are never justified. Some of the words that were used were very gender specific - words that wouldn't have been said to a man in the same situation. And I feel like that's significant because it was nearly all from men - although there were a couple from women - men trying control a woman's body. "I am used to trolling as I run a women's tech website but even I was affected this time because it was so vitriolic, so personal and nasty, and so specific about me and my professional life - not even about the issue of having children which I had been writing about." Some critics accused Brockwell of being an attention-seeking "media whore" but as she points out, it was the BBC's 100 Women project that asked her to write the story, not the other way round. "Most of it washes over you but the one that disturbed me the most was a man saying he'd like to crowdfund an operation to render me physically unable to speak. It's always about silencing people." Some of her followers suggested she brush it off - that these are "just trolls". But Brockwell found this hard to do. On Sunday night the comments got to her and she decided to stop using Twitter. But after a break of just over 36 hours, she's back on social media and tweeting again. The trolls "said it was very quiet on Twitter without me and they deserved a prize", she says. But in the end she didn't want them to feel they had won. 100 Women 2015 This year's season features two weeks of inspirational stories about the BBC's 100 Women and others who are defying stereotypes around the world.

How do you hold a jury trial during lockdown?

Summary: Jury trials are currently on hold in Scotland as part of the coronavirus lockdown, but the government is keen to get the system back up and running. More emergency legislation is being planned - but how do you get a jury together while maintaining social distancing?

By Philip SimBBC News What's the problem? To start with, let's be clear that the Scottish justice system has not ground to a halt entirely. Jury trials may be on hold, but the vast majority of criminal trials do not take place before a jury. In 2018-19, 94% of people convicted in a Scottish courtroom were prosecuted in "summary" trials before a sheriff or justice of the peace - although lawyers say many of these are also being kicked into the long grass. Jury trials mostly happen for more serious offences, which could carry a sentence of over a year - these are known as "solemn" trials, and include all those heard at the High Court. Clearly, it is difficult to assemble 15 randomly-selected people in a relatively small room, with a judge, accused and legal teams, while maintaining social distancing. So for now, solemn trials are on hold. However, the Scottish government is worried about the impact on victims of crime, witnesses and accused people, and public faith in the justice system itself. So what are the options currently being considered? Wait it out The base option is to do nothing at all. Continuing the current state of limbo may seem like the simplest approach, but kicking all serious trials into the long grass could have significant effects in the longer term. There is already a significant backlog of cases in the judicial system. It already takes months for a case to come to trial - a situation many see as unfair not only for victims of crime but also for accused people, some of whom are in prison on remand. Putting all solemn trials on hold could see those months become years. For every five months the system is on hold, it is estimated that an extra 250 High Court trials and 540 sheriff court solemn trials are added to the backlog - something that could push the total number of outstanding trials more than 1,600 cases. Cut jury sizes Cramming 15 people into a small room to consider a verdict is clearly a problem. But why does it have to be 15? A Scottish trial can technically continue with 12 jurors, the same as the number used elsewhere in the UK. During the second world war, this number was reduced to seven. This might help with social distancing during a trial, but you would still need to bring lots of people in to court to pick the jury in the first place. And with less wiggle room, it would raise the danger of trials collapsing should a juror fall ill. A 2015 review of the criminal justice system by Lord Bonomy warned of the potential for miscarriages of justice should juries be slimmed down, given they have three verdicts to choose from. Find bigger courtrooms If courtrooms are too cramped for social distancing, why not use bigger buildings? One example suggested by MSPs was cinemas which are currently sitting empty. This is not totally unprecedented - the fatal accident inquiry into the Clutha helicopter crash was held at Hampden Stadium rather than Glasgow Sheriff Court. However, most cinemas do not have custody facilities where potentially serious offenders can be held during trial. And jurors would still need to travel there, and mix with court staff. Ultimately, the government thinks it would take too long to fit out such venues in the short term, and says it would have little impact on the backlog of cases. Courtroom social distancing What about utilising all the space in the existing courtrooms? If you were to close courts to the public - as frequently happens in sex offences trials - you could sit jurors in the relatively spacious public gallery. Again, this would not solve the problem of empanelling a jury, when dozens of people have to come to court so 15 names can be picked from a hat. And jurors would still be crammed together in a smaller room when considering their verdict. Away from practicalities, there is also the issue of justice being seen to be done. The Scottish government believes this approach "would not make any significant impact in reducing the backlog", but might be useful to deploy later down the road. Remote juries Could the jury all dial in over a video link? These hookups are already used in courts, for vulnerable witnesses to give evidence or prisoners to monitor proceedings from custody. This would remove the issue of jurors having to travel to court, and be packed together for empanelling or deliberations. However, the government warns there could be "significant legal, technical and operational challenges" in this. It would need 15 secure video links to 15 locations - all of them perfectly reliable throughout a potentially lengthy trial - without any risk of someone listening in on deliberations. Ministers fear that getting this up and running "would not be achievable within the time constraints available". Test the jurors Why not just test everyone who comes into court? The government's focus is on testing frontline healthcare staff and other key workers, so it is "unlikely" they could quickly get into a position where everyone involved in a trial - court officials, lawyers, security, witnesses and the accused, as well as jurors - could be tested. And if someone contracted the virus midway through, they could potentially infect the entire courtroom and collapse the trial. What about people with immunity? The problem here is that juries are meant to be picked from a wide cross-section of society, not the relatively narrow group who have recovered from the virus so far. Testing has not been ruled out as an option, but ministers have "a number of concerns as to whether it will be practicable". Hold trials without juries The Scottish government's original plan was to get around the problem by having judges oversee more serious trials, either alone or in panels. This was originally included in emergency legislation, but was removed after an outcry from the legal profession and politicians. The argument for this is that judges are independent, impartial professionals who are well qualified to assess the credibility and reliability of witnesses. It would provide for a flexible system which could move more quickly. However, the right to a trial by a jury of your peers is an important principle in the Scottish legal system which dates back hundreds of years. The government said that while this remains open for discussion, "it is not our favoured option". Give sheriffs more powers As noted above, the vast majority of trials are not solemn ones, and are heard in local sheriff courts. Many of these courts have been hit by the outbreak - some are closed entirely - but there are still a lot more sheriffs than High Court judges. In "summary" trials, sheriffs can jail people for up to a year and fine them up to £10,000. But could this be expanded to include more serious offences, and thus punishments? Sheriffs can also oversee jury trials, and these could potentially be expanded to also cover more serious offences in the post-lockdown period to help ease pressure on the High Court. But it is worth remembering that sheriff courts have backlogs of their own, and are under as much pressure as any other part of the system. They also have to deal with civil cases as well as criminal ones. Ministers say a move like this could potentially help cut through the backlog of cases, but stress that it would have to be a "temporary measure". Speed up trials This is "do nothing", but with a twist. Do nothing for now, but then scale up the court system once restrictions have been lifted to tackle the backlog more quickly. Judges could be brought out of retirement, or others recruited. Mothballed courtrooms could be re-opened; the High Court "circuit" around the country could resume. The trouble with trying to hit the ground running post-lockdown is that measures are unlikely to be raised overnight. The return to normality will be phased, not sudden. The government warns that during this tricky period, "it will not be possible to divert significant resource from one area of the system to accelerate progress in another". The civil courts in particular could be very busy post-lockdown, as contract disputes are settled and debts chased by businesses and citizens alike. And bringing back more judges would not in itself allow more courts to sit - courts need staff, from clerks to macers. The government is open to some ideas to increase capacity, such as sitting seven days a week and working into the evenings. But they say "extreme care will be required" to set the recovery programme at a "sustainable" pace.

Toxic chemicals: How safe is your furniture?

Summary: Britons are being exposed to a "cocktail of chemicals" from birth in our own homes, with MPs raising particular concerns about the flame-retardant chemicals used in home furnishings. What are the risks?

What are flame retardants? Your living room sofa will almost certainly be covered in a flame retardant. These chemicals help to prevent ignition from stray cigarettes or neglected candles and slow the spread of fire. The most common flame retardants work by interfering with the chemistry of burning. But that also means that the smoke that is produced can be more toxic - with the volumes of carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide, in particular, being increased. Both gases are poisonous and, in many fires, inhalation of either gas proves to be a more deadly killer than the flames themselves. Where are they used? On foam, carpets and curtains. In paints, clothes, food packaging, home insulation, toys, electronic goods and car seats. What are the risks? Some flame retardants, including the most commonly used - aluminium hydroxide - are generally considered to be safe. Those causing the most concern are brominated flame retardants. These chemicals are persistent in the environment and tests have detected their presence in air, dust, soil, water, food and wildlife. Humans then become exposed to the chemicals, mainly by breathing contaminated dust and from our diet, including oily fish and meat. Once in the body, they can stay there for several years. Many types of flame retardants within this class now have restricted use or are banned altogether. Some are being replaced with other chemicals, such as those using chlorines. In 2017, chief medical officer Sally Davies said there was no known "causative linkage" between exposure from the environment and adverse health outcomes, but said phasing them out should be encouraged. She added that the concern for human health was long-term interference with the thyroid hormone system because of some structural similarity between the chemicals and thyroid hormones. Breast Cancer UK said some banned flame retardants can cause cancer while others still in use interfered with hormones, including oestrogen, thereby potentially increasing the risk of breast cancer. What's the law? Since 1988, furniture manufacturers have been required by law to use flame retardants. The UK, unlike with most other product safety legislation, has its own laws on this and they are widely considered to be the strictest in Europe. Advocates of the 1988 Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations point to research from 2009 which found that the reduction in the rate and lethal nature of furniture fires equated to saving about 54 lives a year. But some fear the regulations need updating as a body of evidence over the risks of certain flame retardants grows. For policy-makers, there are competing risks. On the one hand, they need to make sure that sofas are as fire-safe as possible. And on the other, they want as few flame retardant chemicals as possible - they are nasty chemicals and can actually make fires more lethal. What about second-hand furniture? Only furniture made before 1950 is excluded from the 1988 regulations. What needs to change? The Commons Environmental Audit Committee, made up of a group of cross-party MPs, has come up with a long list of recommendations for the government. It wants to see a biomonitoring programme to find out levels of chemical exposure among people in the UK. This would include a specific one for Grenfell residents and firefighters to detect the effects of exposure to the smoke from the devastating fire in west London in June 2017, which killed 72 people. Residents have reported the emergence of the "Grenfell cough" and health problems including vomiting, coughing up blood, skin complaints and breathing difficulties, the committee said. Other recommendations from the committee include: Chief medical officer Sally Davies, in her 2017 report, called for other materials and manufacturing techniques to be explored to find a natural flame-resistant alternative. What does the government say? A spokesman said the UK's furniture safety requirements were the highest in Europe. "We are committed to improving environmental outcomes and reducing toxicity but need to do so in a clear, well-evidenced way which also improves fire safety," he said. The Environmental Audit Committee is pressing the government to respond to a three-year-old review of furniture fire safety regulations by the Department for Business. The government said it would respond before 25 July.

Week ahead in Parliament

Summary: It's back to Brexit again in both Houses of Parliament, after the issue of a "meaningful vote" unexpectedly detonated.

Mark D'ArcyParliamentary correspondent Soft Brexit/Remainer Tory MPs, led by the former attorney general Dominic Grieve, thought they had a deal with the prime minister on the issue. They had drawn back from rebelling on Tuesday on the promise of a compromise - but then discovered that the government was not offering them what they thought had been conceded. Essentially the issue is about what happens if the divorce talks with the EU run out of time, or fail to deliver a deal, or if MPs reject the proposed deal. Here comes the science bit - concentrate! On Tuesday, MPs were presented with a Lords amendment that would have given the power to MPs to direct the government's next steps in those contingencies. The government offered a replacement amendment in the Commons (an "amendment in lieu" in parliamentary jargon) which gave MPs a vote on the final deal, but, crucially, did not give them the opportunity to direct the government's future strategy - what they would get instead would be a statement within 28 days, setting out how the government "proposes to proceed in relation to negotiations for the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the EU". Dominic Grieve responded with his own amendment, which was similar to the Lords proposal, but put stronger conditions on MPs being given the power to direct the government. He set out three options which would only kick in three particular scenarios: Having pulled back from rebellion he was expecting the government to concede most of these powers, but it was not to be - and now his Lords ally Lord Hailsham (the former cabinet minister Douglass Hogg) is to put forward his proposals in the Lords, with the aim of replacing the amendment the government won in the Commons, and kicking it back to MPs. The point is that Mr Grieve and his allies would then have a chance to press it to a vote - and quite possibly win. Both Houses have to agree on the final form of legislation before it can become law, and this intricate process - "ping pong" in Westminster-speak - is how MPs and peers reach an agreed wording. So on Monday we will have the Lords votes on the changes made by the Commons. Peers will probably accept most of them, but the Hailsham amendment looks set fair to be accepted (the previous version was passed by a majority of 91 votes) and it will then be kicked back to the Commons, for consideration on Wednesday. Will it win there? The government has a narrow majority with its DUP allies, but if the group around Mr Grieve vote with Labour and the other opposition parties, they would have a majority. Unless some Labour MPs broke ranks and voted with the government, or abstained. And there is a contingent of pro Brexit MPs and MPs from strongly Leave constituencies who may well do so. The arithmetic looks very tight, and the rival sets of party whips will doubtless be working very hard to minimise the number of rebels on their side. It's worth remembering that the Grieve group, unlike the Brexiteers, are not bloodied in rebellion from years of backbench insurgency - so it will be interesting to see if the iron has entered their souls, or whether they can be persuaded to relent. In the end it might even come down to MPs being taken ill or stuck on a train - but unless a new compromise is struck over the weekend, and the implication of bad faith around the previous deal may make that hard to do - we could be in for a week of drama which could prove highly destabilising to the government. Something else to watch out for is an effort to secure an Estimates Day debate on the Defence Budget; debates on these days are under a procedure which allows detailed discussion of money issues, and both the Defence Select Committee and the Public Accounts Committee are extremely concerned about the state of the Ministry of Defence finances. As luck would have it, members of both were recently together at Rossyth, for a visit to the new aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth II, and the rumour is that a coordinated move to get the issue onto the floor of the Commons has been cooked up. Here's my rundown of the week ahead: Monday 18 June The Commons opens (2.30 pm) with Housing, Communities and Local Government questions - and any statements or urgent questions will follow at 3.30 pm. Then comes the Emergency Debate secured by the SNP leader, Ian Blackford, on the Sewel Convention - the convention that Westminster seeks "legislative consent" for new laws touching on the devolved governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This follows the passage of amendments to the EU (Withdrawal) Bill on which EU powers will and will not be passed to the devolved parliaments, which were opposed by the Scottish Parliament. After last week's furious scenes, this could provide another flashpoint between the SNP and, in particular, the Scottish Tory MPs and the government whips - the whips have developed a habit of standing close to the SNP benches and heckling their MPs, which is much resented. MPs then deal with Lords amendments to the Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill - in what should be a pretty brief encounter, before moving on to votes on a statutory instrument on the Draft European Union (Definition of Treaties) (Canada Trade Agreement) Order and European Documents relating to EU Trade Agreements: EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement. And after that there is a general debate on how the NHS and other public services deal with acquired brain injuries. In Westminster Hall (4.30 pm) MPs debate e-petition 209433: "Give the electorate a referendum on the abolition of the House of Lords - the House of Lords is a place of patronage where unelected and unaccountable individuals hold a disproportionate amount of influence and power which can be used to frustrate the elected representatives of the people." The petition attracted 168,755 signatures. My committee pick is the Transport Committee hearing (4.45pm) on Rail timetable changes - when MPs will question top executives from GTR, Arriva Rail North, London North Western and Network Rail. It was announced on Friday that Charles Horton is to resign as chief executive of Govia Thameslink Railway, following months of controversy over delays and cancellations to services. Bring popcorn. In the Lords, after a half hour question time at 2.30pm, peers embark on their consideration of Commons amendments to the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill (see above). MPs kick off (at 11.30 am) with Health and Social Care questions, after which the Conservative Craig Mackinlay presents a Ten Minute Rule Bill to give Gibraltar an MP (this had been due to be debated some months ago, and was rescheduled). Then comes a Labour Opposition Day Debate on a motion (or motions) to be announced. In Westminster Hall, the opening debate (9.30am) is on Romania: the member state which will hold the EU Presidency next year, and therefore has a crucial brokering role in the final Brexit negotiations. The debate will be opened by the Conservative, Bob Blackman, who believes Romania is very keen to help, and will want to extend bilateral arrangements with the UK, post Brexit. He also wants to discuss Romanian concerns about Russian activity in the Black Sea. Labour's Helen Goodman (2.30pm) leads a debate on geothermal energy, which she says has a huge potential to provide a carbon free energy source - including in former coal communities, where decommissioned mine shafts can be used. But, she says, it does not feature in the government's energy strategy. Her aim in this debate is to raise the profile and press ministers to take the opportunities seriously. My committee corridor pick is the International Development hearing (10am) on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, with witnesses from the UN, followed by the Foreign Office and International Development and minister, Alistair Burt. In the Lords (2.30pm) peers debate the detail of the Rating (Property in Common Occupation) and Council Tax (Empty Dwellings) Bill - the measure that will allow local councils to increase the tax on empty homes. Then there is a short debate on encouraging a recovery in the population of bees and other pollinators. The Commons begins (11.30am) with half an hour of Northern Ireland questions, before moving on to the high noon of Prime Minister's Question time. The day's Ten Minute Rule Bill, from the SNP's Martin Docherty-Hughes aims to create an Armed Forces Representative Body. Time has then been set aside to consider Lords amendments to the European Union (Withdrawal) Bill (see above) and there will be a general debate on Nato. One thing to keep an eye on is a possible statement from a health minister on the findings of Bishop James Jones' independent inquiry into deaths at the Gosport Memorial Hospital. The inquiry was commissioned during the coalition years, following concerns about the over-use of morphine on patients. Look out for Lib Dem former health minister Norman Lamb... In Westminster Hall, there are debates on the UN report on the convention on the rights of persons with disabilities (9.30am-11am); the UK constitutional machinery and the frameworks for intergovernmental cooperation (2.30pm-4pm); UK and Polish war reparations against Germany (4pm-4.30pm) and insecure work and the gig economy (4.30pm-5.30pm). On the committee corridor, the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee (9.30am) takes evidence one year on, on local authority support for Grenfell Tower survivors - there are witnesses from Grenfell United, the North Kensington Law Centre, Councillor Elizabeth Campbell, the Leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council, and Nick Hurd, the minister of state for Policing and Fire Service, with responsibility for Grenfell Tower victims work, at the Home Office. And meanwhile, there's a lively session in prospect, when arch europhile MEP Guy "the Hoff" Verhofstadt, the coordinator and chair of the European Parliament Brexit Steering Group, gives evidence to the Brexit Committee on the progress of the UK's negotiations on EU withdrawal (9.15 am) - and he turns up again in the afternoon, before the Home Affairs Committee (2.30pm) to talk about Post-Brexit migration policy. The European Parliament has to sign off on the EU side of Britain's divorce deal, so his views will matter. In the Lords (3pm), the main event is the second reading of the Courts and Tribunals (Judiciary and Functions of Staff) Bill, which seeks to remove restrictions on how judges can be deployed, so they can hear a wider range of cases. The Commons opens (9.30am) with Digital, Culture, Media and Sport questions, followed by questions to the Attorney General (10.10am) and the weekly Business Questions to the Leader of the House. The main debates are on backbench motions on the importance of refugee family reunion - the SNP's Angus Brendan MacNeil proposes a motion welcoming the fact that the Refugees (Family Reunion) (No.2) Bill was given its second reading without opposition on 16 March 2018, and calling on the government to support the bill. Then Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle has a motion on the future of the Erasmus+ student exchange scheme, after 2020, calling on the government to ensure continued UK access, after Brexit. In the Lords (11am) question time marks national Yoga Day with a query on the benefits of yoga for obese school children. Peers then debate the support available to carers and the Carers Action Plan 2018 - 2020; and the implications for the UKs future trade relations following the failure to reach agreement at the G7 Summit in Canada. And then they discuss the contribution of the armed forces reserves to national security. Neither House sits on Friday 22 June.

Royal Navy's history remembered at Portsmouth museum

Summary: Tales from the past 100 years of the Royal Navy are being recounted in new exhibitions opening later. Visitors to the £11.5m attractions at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth can tour a World War Two submarine or simply reflect on the human stories behind famous battles.

The Royal Navy and Portsmouth walk hand in hand. "Portsmouth is here because of the navy," says Dominic Tweddle, the museum's director general. The city's harbour has been in use since Roman times while a dry dock was first created in the 12th Century. The city's historic dockyard is home to a museum and a set of attractions that explain the debt the nation perhaps owes the navy. For while Mr Tweddle believes people have "become less conscious of the institution's importance", he says the UK's "whole identity and economy" is built on its role in wartime success and ensuring safe international trade. This strength, in turn, has been forged on the individuals who have worked in its service. Lt Albert Edward Pryke "Ted" Briggs, of Redcar, Teesside, is among those sailors whose life story and career is featured at the museum. He was just 18 when he was one of only three people to survive the sinking of HMS Hood in the Battle of the Denmark Strait in 1941 - an encounter which saw 1,415 people killed in the Navy's biggest single loss of life from a ship during WW2. After his ship was sunk by a German battleship, he spent three hours in the water and almost died from hypothermia before being rescued. He then went on to enjoy a 35-year career, which included service during the D-Day landings and the Suez crisis. Head curator Matthew Sheldon said: "It wasn't just about this terrible day in 1941 for him because he went on and fought through the rest of the war as well. "HMS Hood was one of his very first ships so what an incredible thing for an 18-year-old to be in the water and be one of only three men to be pulled out." The more recent story of Sgt Noel Connolly demonstrates how the navy's heroism is not just confined to the sea. The Royal Marine, from 42 Commando, rugby tackled a suicide bomber off his motorbike seconds before he could trigger a device in Kandahar, Afghanistan, in 2008. Sgt Connolly, from Manchester, was 10m away from the teenager when he heard a loud crack and spotted a toggle switch to detonate the explosives. His actions are cited as having saved the lives of 30 men and the motorbike is among the exhibits on show alongside a video of the explosives being stripped from its saddle. Across the water in Gosport, about £7m has been spent restoring HMS Alliance, Britain's only surviving WW2-era submarine, while a temporary exhibition titled Racing to War charts the Navy's role in the arms race leading up to WW1. In another nod to the centenary of the conflict, the gun from HMS Lance that fired the first British shot at sea on 5 August, 1914 is among the exhibits in the permanent galleries in Portsmouth. HMS Lance and her sister ship Landrail were performing a "sweep" of the North Sea just hours after the outbreak of war when the semi-automatic naval gun fired at a German minelayer off the Dutch coast. Also on show is a sledge used by the search party sent to find the bodies of explorer Robert Falcon Scott and his team after they went missing on their return from the South Pole. Mr Sheldon said choosing what artefacts to show had been difficult, but the aim had been to select "unusual stories" or things that would surprise people. He said: "That might be the Chinese men who were recruited to serve in the navy. Or it might be an artefact that has real drama and pathos to it like the bell that was raised from the wreck of HMS Prince of Wales when it was sunk off Singapore." The more sensitive side of life at sea is also explored in a collection of illustrated letters written by a chief stoker to his sweetheart. Walter Grainger wrote hundreds of love letters to Edith, his fiancée, while serving in the Far East. In one, he wrote: "Each letter I write now is drawing nearer to the last, drawing so close that I can nearly count how many more I shall have to write before I shall have the happiness to see you myself with my own eyes, touch you with my own hand." Mr Sheldon said the "really beautiful" letters were donated by the couple's surviving daughter. He added: "Those little letters have travelled across thousands of miles of sea and passed through many pairs of hands to get home. It makes people think." Among Mr Sheldon's favourite items is the photograph of Lt Briggs with his mother and sister while on survivor's leave after the sinking of HMS Hood. "That's what the exhibition is about. "It's about the human face of service in the navy and it's about the impact on families when things go wrong. That's the thing we want people to reflect on when they see the exhibition."

Costa Concordia: Giglio official 'never saw Schettino'

Summary: As the Costa Concordia was sinking, the deputy mayor of the Tuscan island of Giglio, Mario Pellegrini, went on board to join the rescue effort. He told Outlook on the BBC World Service how he reacted when he realised the ship was in trouble.

"I met the mayor and immediately we devised a plan to co-ordinate the evacuation of the people, so I decided to go on a tender and to go on board. My first duty was to look for an officer on the boat in order to co-ordinate the evacuation. I took the first tender that arrived at the port with the first evacuated passengers. I took this tender all by myself and went on board. I went up and I started looking for an officer. After 20 minutes I couldn't find anybody. I even went on the higher bridges of the ship and even then I couldn't see anybody. So I decided to go down again to co-ordinate people and put them in dinghies in order to go on land. At the time the ship was not listing so it wasn't difficult. There were a lot of people who wanted to help but there was no-one guiding them; there was nobody was directing anything. There was goodwill by many people but many didn't even speak English, so it was difficult. People fighting At the beginning there wasn't much panic, just a lot of confusion. People didn't know what to do but there was no real fear. Then I went on the right-hand side of the ship and it started tilting towards the sea. Big parts of the ship were going underwater - then panic erupted, people really were scared. When the boat started listing, all the corridors filled with water. They were like wells and there was a lot of people stuck in these wells. Using a rope, I started to pull people up. They were crying and were really scared. It was a purser of the ship who was helping me and we rescued about nine people. Some of them were quite old; some of them were children. People were fighting with each other in order to get on the rope to climb up. I can't condemn them because the situation was really bad. It was really dramatic. The doctor also helped me; he was very good and courageous. Then, on the bridge, I came across the only officer I could find. He was young, a second-class officer. He found a little stepladder to put on the side of the boat which people could climb down. We were together shoulder to shoulder until 05:30 in the morning. I have to say this young officer was wonderful. He hadn't been given any orders; he was just following his own orders. It was very difficult as there was some oil around, so climbing down the steps and on to the ladder was extremely slippery. For children and old people, it was especially difficult. This officer was very good but he was the only officer I met. Finger by finger While I was pulling people out of the upended corridor, one girl started shouting and pulling and we had to take her out by her feet. A lot of the old people attached themselves to anything they could find and they didn't want to let go so we had to go down and detach them finger by finger. There was one mother who was holding a baby. I said, 'Give me the child and I will put him on board the dinghy and then I will give you him back'. But the mother didn't want to, she was panicking and wouldn't let go of the baby. It was very difficult to get the baby from her. There were some good moments too. There was an old woman crying and I went over and hugged her and she was reassured. The last person we took out was an Asian girl who had a broken leg. I was afraid that the ship might go under while I was working on it. By the time I left the ship, I was literally exhausted. In the last moments, when the dinghy down at the sea was full of professional rescuers, I was on the part of the bridge where I had been for quite a long time, holding old people, babies and so on. Because I was so tired and wasn't concentrating, I fell down and nearly broke my neck. I never saw the captain; the only officer I saw was the young officer, a boy really. I didn't see anyone else."
