Chloe Grace Moretz is not a fan of body shaming.

Article: The claim: Leaving the EU would make the UK economy grow more than staying in.
Reality Check verdict: This is not a mainstream view - but they are reputable economists. It is an optimistic vision of how the UK economy might fare outside the EU, although some of its assumptions are questionable.
They predict that, in 2020, the UK economy would grow 3.4% if the UK left the EU, while it would grow only 2.5% if the UK remained.
Their conclusions are outside the current economic mainstream on Europe, with most models assuming that free trade, free movement and open economies are automatically a good thing.
While we have previously warned about the uncertainties involved in economic modelling, that is why it is no surprise organisations such as the IMF, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Treasury and the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) have all predicted considerable losses to the economy following a Brexit.
This means the Economists for Brexit have had to demonstrate in their paper that the EU is restricting UK trade.
The basis of their assumptions is that after leaving the EU, the UK would trade under World Trade Organisation rules and immediately drop all tariffs on imports from everywhere in the world to reduce the prices of products for people in Britain.
One problem with this is that they also predict a fall in the value of the pound, which would be good news for exporters, but bad news for UK consumers buying imported goods.
The weaker pound might go some way to making up for the likelihood that EU countries would impose tariffs on UK exports, which is included in the model.
How does this compare with other models?
The analysis from the CEP, an influential group based at the London School of Economics, considered what would happen if the UK unilaterally removed all tariffs.
It still predicted a negative effect on the economy from leaving the EU, but said going tariff-free improved the outcome by 0.3 percentage points.
Another problem with the Economists for Brexit...

Summary: A group of eight well known economists have released a report under the banner of Economists for Brexit, explaining how they think leaving the EU would be good for the UK economy.

Article: The 42-year-old Grand Prix at Angouleme has long faced criticism for its failure to recognise women cartoonists.
This year, a pressure group is calling for a boycott, saying "it is no longer tolerable" that "renowned female creators" are left off the list of 30.
At least three male nominees have publicly backed the protest.
They have asked for their names to be removed from the list.
The Grand Prix is a highly prestigious prize, recognising the lifetime achievement of a cartoonist. It is handed out each year at the Angouleme International Comics Festival.
In its long history, only one woman, Florence Cestac, has ever won the prize.
A group called BD Egalite, or Women in Comics Collective Against Sexism, said the prize was significant, because as well as being honorary it could also boost an artist's career and book sales.
"What is the message sent to women cartoonists and those in the process of becoming such?" it asked on its website. "We are discouraged from having ambition, from continuing our efforts. How could we take it otherwise?
"It all comes back to the disastrous glass ceiling. We're tolerated, but never allowed top billing. Will we require women in comics to perpetually play second fiddle?"
A number of cartoonists on the long list have since asked for their names to be removed.
American Daniel Clowes called it a now "totally meaningless 'honor'."
"What a ridiculous, embarrassing debacle," he added.
Riad Sattouf on Facebook listed a number of female cartoonists he would "prefer to cede my place to", including Rumiko Takahashi, Julie Doucet, Anouk Ricard, Marjane Satrapi and Catherine Meurisse.
The Festival's Franck Bondoux was quoted in French media as saying that Franco-Belgian graphic novels, known as "bande desinee", had traditionally been dominated by men.
"The festival cannot distort this reality, although I concede that the list might contain one or two female names," he said.
But he rejected accusations that the festival ignored the contribution of women artists, giving examples of steps it...

Summary: A prestigious award for graphic novelists in France is facing calls for a boycott after its long list of nominees failed to include any women.

Article: A temporary closure notice for the production areas of South Eastern Burry Inlet cockle bed has been issued.
Swansea council's decision follows advice from the Food Standards Agency Wales and the Centre for Environment Fisheries and Aqua Science.
The council said beaches remained open and waters were safe to bathe in.
Council food and safety officer Ann Rodway said: "We would all like to see the bed re-open as soon as possible. In the meantime, our priority must be to protect public health.
"There is no health risk to beach users, but they must not collect or eat cockles."

Summary: A Swansea cockle bed has been closed due to concerns about "higher than normal" levels of E. coli found in shellfish samples.

Article: Scottish Water said it spent about £6m a year unblocking pipes, with disposable wipes and cotton buds some of the biggest culprits.
Industry body Water UK has urged trading standards authorities to end the use of labels that suggest wipes can be flushed down toilets.
It wants manufacturers to add prominent "do not flush" warnings to products.
Scottish Water has joined nearly 250 companies in 18 countries in signing a joint statement on the flushability of moistened wipes, calling for consumers to be given clear and unambiguous information about appropriate disposal methods.
Water UK has written a letter to the Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) urging it to investigate the issue of labelling.
Peter Farrer, Scottish Water's chief operating officer, said: "The reality is that wet wipes can cause flooding misery for householders and real damage to Scotland's environment.
"On average, Scottish Water responds to 80 blockages each day which are a direct result of inappropriate items like wet wipes being flushed down toilets.
"Together with items such as cotton buds, nappies and oil or grease from cooking products, these combine to create a blockage of material that doesn't break down easily.
"This can lead to flooding of homes, gardens and businesses, as well as pollution of beaches or rivers. And it's also costly for a business which aims to keep customer charges as low as possible - we spend around £6m a year tackling this problem."
EDANA, an industry group that represents the wet wipe manufacturers, said it accepted that 90% of such wipes should be disposed of in bins but argued that "do no flush" advice would penalise some products that were flushable.
In a statement it said: "Denying people a flushable product altogether will only make the problem worse, as flushable products will be replaced with those not designed to be flushed.
"Rather, EDANA believes that education is essential to helping the consumer know how and where to best dispose of their wipes

Article: Earlier this summer, the actress said she was "appalled and angry" about a billboard advert for her movie Red Shoes & the 7 Dwarfs, which suggested being overweight made you less beautiful.
And now, she's spoken for the first time about a time she was fat-shamed on set by one of her male co-stars.
She told Variety: "This guy that was my love interest was like, 'I'd never date you in real life,' and I was like, 'what?'. And he was like, 'yeah, you're too big for me' - as in my size.
"It was one of the only actors that ever made me cry on set."
Chloe didn't reveal who it was, but said the actor was in his mid 20s - while she was 15 at the time.
"I went bawling to my brother and he was like, 'what happened?'. And I was like, 'he told me I was too big'. My brother was so angry.
"I had to pick it up and go back on set and pretend he was a love interest, and it was really hard. It just makes you realise that there are some really bad people out there and for some reason, he felt the need to say that to me.
"You have to kind of forgive and not forget really, but it was just like wow. It was jarring. I look back on it and I was 15, which is really, really dark."
Chloe Grace Moretz isn't the first star to highlight the issue of body shaming.
From Kate Winslet and Jennifer Lawrence (pictured) to Meghan Trainor and Amy Schumer - more and more stars are refusing to feel guilty about their appearance.
"I heard my body is a topic of conversation so I wanted to say, I'm proud of my body and you should be proud of yours too," Lady Gaga said earlier this year.
Lena Dunham, meanwhile, has said: "I've accepted that my body is an ever changing organism, not a fixed entity - what goes up must come down and vice versa."

Summary:


Edinburgh Zoo has said it believes its panda Tian Tian is pregnant and may give birth at the end of the month.

Article: Republicans made historic gains in the mid-term elections and now control both legislative chambers.
Incoming Senate leader Mitch McConnell said he would make the ineffective Senate function and pass bills.
Mr Obama said he was "eager to work with the new Congress to make the next two years as productive as possible".
The election campaign was characterised by widespread frustration expressed by voters about the inability of Congress to work together.
To the Americans who voted for change, the president said: "I hear you."
He told a White House news conference that both parties must address those concerns, but he admitted that as president he had a "unique responsibility to try to make this town work".
On Friday, he will host a meeting at the White House with Democratic and Republican leaders.
"We can surely find ways to work together," Mr Obama said. "It's time for us to take care of business."
But he warned he would act on his own to reduce deportations and improve border security - action he had delayed until after the election, to the fury of some Latino voters.
Earlier on Wednesday, Mr McConnell pledged to make the Senate more productive.
"The Senate in the last few years basically doesn't do anything," he said. "We're going to go back to work and actually pass legislation."
He also vowed to "work together" with Mr Obama on issues where they can agree, such as trade agreements and tax reform.
Working within a two-party political system did not mean "we have to live in perpetual conflict", he added.
Also on Wednesday, the chairman of the Republican National Committee called resounding Republican mid-term victories a "direct rejection of the Obama agenda".
"[Americans] want nothing to do with the policies of Barack Obama," Reince Priebus told reporters.
Barack Obama's unpopularity in the run-up to these mid-term elections is hard to exaggerate. One of the things that is lost in the big picture of the night is some of the sidebar poll findings - the American people are fed up with all their politicians....

Summary: The US Senate's new Republican leader and President Barack Obama have both promised to end the political gridlock that has so frustrated American voters.

Article: The Home Office Minister, Lynne Featherstone, said that special protection for dogs cats and primates would be maintained.
Ms Featherstone also said that a centralised system for approving research licenses would continue.
The statement was welcomed by the research community and animal welfare organisations.
But the RSPCA's senior scientific officer, Barney Reed said that he was concerned the government was initially prepared to accept EU regulations which would have allowed smaller cage sizes, the use of less humane killing methods and the watering down of the powers of ethics committees which oversee animal research.
"It's been unfortunate that we've had to battle for 18 months to pretty much stand still and maintain the standards that we currently have," he told BBC News.
Professor Roger Lemon, a prominent medical researcher at University College London and spokesman for the campaign organisation Understanding Animal Research, said the UK had the highest welfare standards in the world for animal experimentation.
"We applaud the Home Office decision to hold on to those high standards," he said.
The EU has set minimum standards for the care and welfare of animals used in research in a directive which has to be implemented by the beginning of next year. The regulations are largely in line with UK directives which are policed and administered by the Home Office. But in a small number of areas, the standards are slightly lower.
The chief executive of one of the organisations that funds animal experiments, Prof Douglas Kell, said he welcomed legislation that he believes aims to improve welfare standards across Europe.
"Harmonising standards ensures that researchers collaborating across European borders are working together to achieve animal welfare with a common understanding," he said.
"This is increasingly important in areas like livestock diseases where researchers are working together to combat emerging threats".

Article: The agreement is the result of "internal political discussions", but uncertainty remains regarding which devolution deal the borough may join.
Councillors are split over whether to join the Liverpool City Region or a new Cheshire devolution deal.
Council leader Terry O'Neill said he would "continue conversations" with neighbouring authorities.
Labour-controlled Warrington Borough Council submitted a joint devolution bid to the government with Cheshire East Council and Cheshire West & Chester Council in August 2015.
However, in June 2016 councillors on the ruling Labour group in Warrington voted to reject the deal, which would have seen an elected mayor for the county.
The BBC understands some wanted the council to consider joining the Liverpool City Region instead.
A cross-party group of councillors tasked with deciding a way forward is due to present recommendations in December.
One Labour member of the taskforce, Morgan Tarr, claimed "the majority" of the group believed that the "best option available" to was to continue negotiations with the Liverpool City Region.
Helen Jones, Labour MP for Warrington North, previously argued the Cheshire devolution plans were a Conservative "stitch-up", because a mayor in the county was "very likely" to be a Conservative.
Mr O'Neill said: "We are now in agreement that the model of devolved powers from Whitehall, together with an elected mayor, is the most appropriate arrangement for our borough.
"We will continue our conversations with other local authorities and government to ensure we have the best set of benefits to support the long term future of the borough and the best outcomes for our residents and businesses."

Summary: Warrington councillors have agreed to accept an elected mayor as part of a future devolution deal.

Article: But the number of homes that cannot get a service of 10 megabits per second (mbps) or higher has fallen by one million in the last year, it found.
The report looks at how the UK's mix of fixed and wireless communication networks are developing.
Ofcom said despite the fall, "much more" had to be done to improve the UK's communications infrastructure.
"Mobile and broadband coverage continued to grow this year, but too many people and businesses are still struggling for a good service," said Steve Unger, Ofcom's director of strategy, in a statement. "We think that is unacceptable."
Ofcom's report found a significant urban-rural divide on higher speed broadband. About 25% of properties in rural areas, more than 900,000 homes, are too far from telephone exchanges to get a 10mbps service. This speed is now necessary to meet the needs of typical households, it said.
Estimates by Ofcom suggest it would take Â£1.1bn to boost networks in remote areas so they run as fast as the "decent" 10mbps networks in towns and cities.
The report noted that one-third of UK homes, 9.1 million, have signed up for superfast services - designated as 30mbps or higher.
Ofcom said the UK's mobile networks also needed to tackle areas where coverage fell short. Its report estimates that only 40% of the UK's landmass can get 4G mobile signals from all four operators. This was an improvement on 2015, when only 8% enjoyed that "total" coverage, it said.
Ofcom is now talking to network operators about "radical and ambitious" ways to fill the "not-spots" and to boost speeds.
"The advent of 5G draws ever closer, which seems extraordinary when a third of the UK's geography can't even get a call signal from all four networks," said Ernest Doku, mobiles expert at USwitch, in a statement.
"It's a bitter irony for anyone living in a coverage blackspot, who'd gladly settle for a voice call let alone 5G," he added.
The Ofcom report is published soon after a separate report from the UK's National Infrastructure Commission called mobile coverage on trains...

Summary: More than 1.4 million homes in the UK cannot get decent broadband, a report from telecoms regulator Ofcom reveals.

Article: She was artificially inseminated earlier this year after attempts to bring her together with male partner, Yang Guang, failed.
The zoo said new scientific tests had given a "strong indication" of pregnancy, but were "too new to be definitive".
Tian Tian also conceived last year, but the pregnancy failed.
Iain Valentine, director of Giant Pandas for the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, said: "The latest scientific data suggests Tian Tian the giant panda is now pregnant and that implantation has taken place, therefore she may give birth at the end of the month.
"This is all very new and complex science and we still have a bit of time to go yet.
"As like last year, the late loss of a cub remains entirely possible."
The zoo said it had been able to confirm that Tian Tian did become pregnant last year.
However, it said it was most likely that she had reabsorbed the foetus late term.
The two pandas arrived in Scotland from China in 2011.
Tian Tian has had cubs in the past in China, before she came on loan to Edinburgh.
If she does have a successful delivery, it will be the first time a giant panda has been born in Britain.
The panda enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo is due to close to visitors from Saturday ahead of a possible birth.

Lock Rory Thornton says he is "champing at the bit" ahead of winning his first Wales cap against Samoa in Apia on Friday, 23 June.

Article: Net income rose to a record 7.04tn won ($6.6bn; Â£4.2bn), up from 4.01tn won in the same period a year earlier, beating analysts' expectations.
The Korean firm said its mobile profits more than doubled over the same period.
Last year, Samsung became the world's biggest smartphone maker, overtaking Apple, its main rival in the sector.
"Overall its earnings momentum remains intact," said Lee Se-chul, from Meritz Securities in Seoul.
"Smartphone shipments will continue to grow, even in the traditionally weak first quarter, as Samsung's got a broader product line-up and Apple appears to be struggling in pushing iPhone volumes aggressively."
Samsung did not provide data on the number of smartphones it had shipped, but analysts estimate it sold 63 million smartphones in the quarter.
The strong sales numbers come after Apple shares tumbled 12% in the US on Thursday, over fears the company was losing its edge in key smartphone markets.
Apple had reported record quarterly revenues of $55bn, but there was disappointment over sales of the company's new iPhone 5.
Galactic sales
Samsung said its Galaxy line of smartphones and tablets has been its top seller, driving profits.
The handsets division, which sells about a quarter of all mobile phones in the world according to analysts, saw an operating profit of 5.44tn won, up from 2.56tn won a year earlier.
Earnings were also helped by Samsung's displays unit, which made a profit, after losses a year earlier.
The unit enjoyed a sales boost from its organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) screen, used in the Galaxy smartphones.
The firm said its capital spending this year will be similar to 2012 levels, despite analyst expectations that it would be cut.
However, it did caution that increased competition in the smartphone sector could lead to a softening of demand in some regions.
"The furious growth spurt seen in the global smartphone market last year is expected to be pacified by intensifying price competition, compounded by a slew of new products," the company said in its...

Summary: Samsung Electronics said its profits surged 76% in the last three months of 2012, helped by sales of its Galaxy smartphones.

Article: The party says the new ministers would be accountable to the assembly and not to Westminster.
TUV leader Jim Allister set out his "Plan B" as he launched the party's manifesto on Wednesday for the assembly election next month.
The party is standing 15 candidates in 14 constituencies.
Mr Allister described the current structures at Stormont as "a shambles" and insisted voluntary coalition with an opposition was the only way to make government work.
"There must, there has to be surgical change, root and branch change, to the abysmal failure of the present arrangements," he said.
"We can't go on as we are, we need to abandon mandatory coalition and move to voluntary coalition with a real opposition."
But Mr Allister said if the parties could not agree on voluntary coalition, then his plan B would prevent the collapse of the Assembly.
"Executive functions would be exercised by British ministers under the scrutiny of the Assembly," he said.
"Then when our politicians grow up and agree to voluntary coalition, they could then replace the British ministers and in that way we build durable and workable devolution."
The TUV leader said his party had "shone the bright light" into the corners of Stormont and exposed squander and failure.
He also hit back at those who claim he is a one man party.
The TUV's 43 page manifesto called "Straight Talking, Principled Politics" set out how it would tackle problems in the health, education and housing sectors.
It also outlined how it would turn the economy around.

Summary: The TUV has proposed bringing back "British ministers" to replace the Stormont executive as part of its new plan for government.

Article: Lucy Haughey, winner of Channel 4's Come Dine With Me, bombarded the ex-girlfriend of her then partner with threatening for posts almost a year.
Haughey, 36, was due to be sentenced at Glasgow Sheriff but this was delayed after the court heard some messages were still online.
The sheriff said Haughey or her internet provider should remove them.
Haughey, who won Â£1,000 in an episode of the TV show broadcast in January, had previously admitted cyber stalking Sharon Low between June 2015 and May 2016.
The two women had never met but Haughey, from Crosshill, Glasgow, repeatedly sent messages to Ms Low.
Ms Low also received a text message which stated: "I know your secrets, all of them, leave us alone or it's all out there."
Haughey also admitted making a phone call to Ms Low's mother in which she "ranted" about her daughter, and calling Miss Low at her work.
Ms Low was left feeling "terrified and humiliated".
A defence lawyer told the earlier hearing Haughey was in an abusive relationship at the time and had been manipulated into making contact with Ms Low.
Haughey had been warned she may face jail at a sentencing hearing on Wednesday -  but the case was continued after Sheriff Linda Ruxton heard there were still abusive messages about the victim on social media.
She told Haughey: "I want all abusive posts to be removed in some way from social media to give the complainer more peace of mind."
The sheriff told the Crown to make inquiries about how this could be achieved by either Haughey or the internet provider.

Summary: A sheriff has ordered abusive online messages posted by a reality TV show winner to be removed from the internet.

Article: Antimatter particles are the "mirror image" of normal matter, but with opposite electric charge.
How antimatter responds to gravity remains a mystery, however; it may "fall up" rather than down.
Now researchers reporting in Nature Communications have made strides toward finally resolving that notion.
Antimatter presents one of the biggest mysteries in physics, in that equal amounts of matter and antimatter should have been created at the Universe's beginning.
Yet when the two meet, they destroy each other in what is called annihilation, turning into pure light.
Why the Universe we see today is made overwhelmingly of matter, with only tiny amounts of antimatter, has prompted a number of studies to try to find some difference between the two.
Tests at Cern's LHCb experiment and elsewhere, for example, have been looking for evidence that exotic particles decay more often into matter than antimatter.
Last week, the LHCb team reported a slight difference in the decay of particles called Bs mesons - but still not nearly enough to explain the matter mystery.
One significant difference between the two may be the way they interact with gravity - antimatter may be repelled by matter, rather than attracted to it.
But it is a difference that no one has been able to test - until the advent of Cern's Alpha experiment.
Alpha is an acronym for Antihydrogen Laser Physics Apparatus - an experiment designed to build and trap antimatter "atoms".
Just as hydrogen is made of a proton and an electron, antihydrogen is an atom made of their antimatter counterparts antiprotons and positrons.
The trick is not just in making it, but in making it hang around long enough to study it - before it bumps into any matter and annihilates.
In 2010 the Alpha team did just that, and in 2011 they showed they could keep antihydrogen atoms trapped for 1,000 seconds.
The team has now gone back to their existing data on 434 antihydrogen atoms, with the antigravity question in mind.
"In the course of all the experiments, we release (the antihydrogen...

Summary: Researchers at Cern in Switzerland have tested a novel way to find out if antimatter is the source of a force termed "antigravity".

Thornton made 25 appearances for Ospreys in the 2016-17 campaign, but expects a big transition to international rugby.
"I've been playing a lot for the Ospreys this year and being involved in the Pro12 and the [European] Challenge Cup has given me quite a bit of experience," the former Wales Under-20s captain told BBC Wales Sport.
"But Test rugby is a completely different animal, so I'm really looking forward to the challenge on Friday against a strong Samoan team.
"Like every young Welsh boy I want to play for Wales, but when it actually comes round you get that sensation of pride."
Thornton is part of an inexperienced Wales side, with the forwards having won just 31 caps between them.
"Samoa have a big experienced pack and we have a couple of young guys here looking to blood themselves on the international stage, so I think it'll be a good challenge overall," Thornton added.

Article: The Corporation's committee of 125 elected members, who represent the Square Mile, do not normally adopt a political stance.
But its policy chairman said the City "cannot afford to remain quiet".
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, is campaigning for Britain to leave the EU.
Mark Boleat, the policy chairman, said: "When City firms of all sizes and in different sectors, who we represent, are voicing their concerns about the risks of leaving the EU, we need to make sure the City of London Corporation remains relevant to our stakeholders.
"While we might be criticised for taking such a stance, we need to speak up and encourage others to follow suit.
"We have taken positions on controversial matters like a new Heathrow runway and immigration policy in the past and can no longer be a silent partner in the run up to the 23rd of June."
A number of City grandees, including the former chancellor Lord Lamont have criticised the Corporation's decision to hold the vote.
Alex Deane, one of the committee members, wrote in City A.M it was "strongly akin to adopting a party political stance".
"We steer clear of that; for we will need to be able to operate with people on both sides of this debate long after it is done.... Opinion in the City is divided, not united," he wrote.
The head of the British Chambers of Commerce has told a conference in London that referendum voters faced a "tough choice" between "the devil and the deep blue sea."

Article: Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) said the force had "fragile" staffing levels and needed to "implement improvement plans rapidly".
Inspectors visited the force after criticising its response to government spending cuts last year.
Police and Crime Commissioner Olly Martins said the report was "out of date".
In the HMIC's Policing in Austerity: Meeting the Challenge report last year, Bedfordshire Police was judged to be "requiring improvement".
Inspectors, who said the force would be "monitored closely", returned in October and found it was not performing well compared to similar forces.
It highlighted problems in the force control room, although said these should be improved by a recent increase in staff.
The report described staffing levels as "fragile but improving" and said although there had been recruitment, it was not clear what investment the force had made in preventive work to reduce demand.
"There is a concern that it may not be tackling longer-term issues," the report said.
Inspectors said it needed to implement its plans for improving policing in "an affordable way more quickly" while ensuring its service "remains effective".
However, they said the force was "moving in the right direction and the pace of change is increasing".
Mr Martins said: "All that publishing out-of-date snapshots of a force, such as today's report does, is potentially undermine police force morale and mislead the public.
"When HMIC have already made their subsequent inspection it frankly seems incompetent, to say the least, to still publish a report that's seven months out of date."
HMIC said it had made a further assessment in March and would be returning in May and July.

Summary: Concerns over the service provided by Bedfordshire Police have been raised by the constabulary watchdog.

Article: Brooker, a creator and main writer of the anthology series that explores anxiety and human relationships around technology, apologised in 2004 after writing a satirical article for The Guardian on George W Bush in which he wrote: "Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?". The line caused a public outcry.
"That experience definitely fed into that episode, which we call Hated in the Nation, as it deals with people getting trolled on Twitter," says Brooker.
"My own incident pre-dated Twitter, and my vilification was done by good old-fashioned email, but some of the characters in Hated in the Nation say things that I was experiencing at the time, and I also read a book for research that deals with people caught up in Twitter storms. The author hangs out with them and sees how devastated they are, often by the sheer volume of comments they receive. The whole thing is terrifying."
Compared to a modern Twilight Zone or Tales of the Unexpected, Black Mirror - using technology instead of the supernatural to unnerve - first aired on Channel 4 in 2011.
Brooker had previously worked on satirical comedy programmes, including Brass Eye and the 11 O' Clock Show.
Because Black Mirror usually deals with a futuristic scenario, Brooker and his producer Annabel Jones have been accused of uncannily predicting the future - notably in 2013's The Waldo Moment, which documents a fake politician's unexpected rise to power.
"It certainly wasn't based on him, but now a lot of people have come up to me and said, 'that episode predicted Donald Trump,'" Brooker explains.
"The idea actually pre-dates 2011 when I was working on satirical comedy shows. I wanted to do an MP based on a Gorillaz character, and we thought, 'What if you had an ironic MP who ran for office in London's Shoreditch?'.
"It was inspired by figures like Boris Johnson and Ali G, and it was exploring the 'what if' scenario with a figurehead who was artificial, so that was a plus for many of the electorate, but he was also crude and...

Summary: Black Mirror writer Charlie Brooker says his own experience of a public backlash influenced one of the latest episodes of the acclaimed series which deals with hatred on social media.

Article: Scientists will underline, with greater certainty than ever, the role of human activities in rising temperatures.
But many governments are demanding a clearer explanation of the slowdown in temperature increases since 1998.
One participant told BBC News that this pause will be a "central piece" of the summary.
Researchers from all over the world work with the IPCC to pore over thousands of peer-reviewed studies and produce a summary representing the current state of climate science.
Its previous report in 2007 was instrumental in helping the panel share the Nobel Peace Prize that year.
A new Summary for Policymakers on the physical sciences, the first of three parts that make up a report to be released over the next 12 months, will be published in Stockholm on Friday.
It will focus on the science underlying changes in temperature in the atmosphere, the oceans and at the poles.
New estimates will be given for the scale of global warming and its impact on sea levels, glaciers and ice sheets.
In its last report in 2007, the IPCC stated that "warming of the climate system is unequivocal" and that "most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th Century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations" - in other words, humans burning fossil fuels.
In the latest draft summary, seen by the BBC, the level of scientific certainty has increased.
The panel states that it is 95% certain that the "human influence on climate caused more than half the observed increase in global average surface temperatures from 1951-2010."
But since 2007, there has been a growing focus on the fact that global average temperatures haven't gone above the level recorded in 1998.
This slowdown, or hiatus as the IPCC refers to it, has been leapt upon by climate sceptics to argue that the scientific belief that emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere increases the temperature of the planet, is wrong.
Scientists have attempted to explain the pause in a number of ways,...

Article: Under a five-year plan released on Wednesday, the cost of stamps will also rise and as many as 8,000 jobs will be eliminated.
But the agency says it will also open more retail locations across Canada.
The service faces a projected 1bn Canadian dollar ($943m; Â£576m) loss by 2020 without "fundamental changes".
Canada Post lost C$73m in the third quarter of the current fiscal year, CBC News reported.
"Canadians expect Canada Post to continue to remain financially self-sufficient and not look to their hard-earned tax dollars for funding," the postal service said.
At the same time, "the rise in digital communications has dramatically changed the postal needs of Canadians".
Direct to the home delivery will be replaced by community post boxes installed throughout residential areas, Canada Post said in its plan.
The agency said two-thirds of Canadians, mostly in newer suburban neighbourhoods and rural areas, already receive their mail through this method.
The cost of postage stamps purchased in bulk will rise to $0.85 per stamp, up from $0.63 today, among other price rises.
In all, the plan will return the agency to financial sustainability by 2019, Canada Post said in a report, citing annual savings of up to C$900m.
Between 6,000 and 8,000 jobs will be eliminated as part of the plan - 12% of Canada Post's employees, although it says its workforce is ageing and it expects almost 15,000 workers will retire or leave the company in the next five years.
Canada Post delivers close to 10 billion letters and parcels each year but has seen a 24% drop in letters delivered since 2008.

Article: In modern times, the international credit markets could be seen as the confused multitude.
On Tuesday, attempts by Spanish Economy Minister Luis De Guindos to rally German, French and Italian counterparts to openly back a plan to speed up the implementation of plans agreed at the last EU summit to reduce Spain's borrowing costs ended in farce as France and Italy first denied all knowledge of the plan and then, a day later, pledged their support albeit with no concrete timetable.
Confusion.
So, it was no surprise that the "great beast" drove Spain's implied cost of borrowing over 10 years to a euro-era high of nearly 7.6% on Thursday in response.
Greece, Portugal and the Republic of Ireland all had to seek international bailouts when their own borrowing costs reached similar exorbitant levels.
But, on Thursday, everything seemed to change. A short sentence from Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank seemed to succeed where every single eurozone finance minister had failed: "The ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro."
The yield on ten-year Spanish bonds plunged to 6.55% in a couple of days.
Mr Draghi appears to be the only voice capable of commanding the international markets.
For that reason, the leader of the Eurogroup Jean-Claude Juncker and other eurozone leaders speaking over the weekend, have put the ECB at the heart of plan to drive down Spanish and Italian borrowing costs.
The ECB's SMP bond-buying programme, discontinued in January, had temporarily managed to bring down the implied cost of borrowing for governments as determined by the trade between banks and other institutions of government bonds on the secondary market.
However, governments' actual cost of borrowing is determined at auctions where they sell bonds direct to banks - the primary market - such as Monday's sale by Italy.
So, to have any lasting effect on government borrowing costs, the ECB would need to bring down costs in the primary market.
But the ECB's constitution prevents it from lending money...

Article: Now he is mere leader of the opposition, the chance comes less frequently - but Monday night offered up a humdinger.
In full flow with France Television's star interviewer David Pujadas, Sarko delivered this pearl: "Just because I get the salad, doesn't mean I pass the rhubarb."
The context was the aftermath of the regional first-round elections on Sunday, which by giving the far right such a huge score poses the problem for the two main parties of how best to react.
Should Sarko's Republicans and President Francois Hollande's Socialists stand and fight in each of the 13 regions?
More from Hugh: Far right taps into voters' disquiet
French press sees parties in meltdown
Marion Marechal-Le Pen and the far-right charm offensive
The risk is that by doing so they would split the anti-FN vote, and thus increase the National Front's chances of victory.
Or, should one of them withdraw in each region - thus allowing all anti-FNers to concentrate the vote?
This is what the Socialists have agreed to do in the two regions where the FN is best-placed (and they - the Socialists - came a rotten third).
The withdrawal poses a serious challenge to Marine Le Pen's hopes of becoming regional president in the north, as well as to Marion Marechal-Le Pen in the south, because now Socialists can vote for the centre-right candidate.
But Mr Sarkozy is refusing to make any such arrangement.
His argument is that by stitching up the regions with the Socialists (you stand here, we stand there),  the two parties would be playing straight into the FN's hands.
They would be displaying exactly the kind of chumminess at the top that the far right constantly denounces.
As Nicolas Sarkozy said, political parties cannot go round giving each other mutual favours.
Or put another way: "Just because I get the salad, doesn't mean I pass the rhubarb."
Except he got it wrong.
The real French expression is: Pass me the rhubarb, and I'll pass you the senna.
Why senna? Well like rhubarb, senna is a natural laxative. The proverb means, I'll do you a...

Article: The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said gross mortgage lending totalled Â£21.4bn in March, in line with the monthly average over the past year.
But it was much less than the Â£26.3bn lent in March last year, when there was a surge in buy-to-let borrowing.
Then, landlords rushed to buy homes ahead of a rise in stamp duty.
A 3% stamp duty surcharge was introduced in April 2016 on the purchase of any properties that are second homes.
Since that surcharge came in, the buy-to-let market has become more subdued, as has the market for home movers.
However the CML said this fall had been cancelled out by a pick-up in lending to first-time buyers.
"There has been a shift towards first-time buyer and remortgage customers, away from home movers and buy-to-let landlords," said the CML's senior economist Mohammad Jamei.
The number of first-time buyers has increased steadily since early 2013, the CML said.
In the 12 months to March this year, there were 342,000 first-time buyers, the highest figure for any 12-month period in the past nine years.
"For so long landlords have held all the cards but, with the various tax changes applied to buy-to-let, first-time buyers are firmly in the driving seat and are putting the pedal to the floor," said Mark Dyason, director of mortgage broker Edinburgh Mortgage Advice.
The uncertainty created by a general election has traditionally put a dampener on the housing market, but the CML said that might not be the case this time around.
Mr Jamei said: "We do not anticipate that the prime minister's decision to call a snap election will have a large impact on the housing market."
Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Markit, said: "We expect house price gains over 2017 will be limited to no more than 2.5% - and it could very well be lower than that."
Where can I afford to live?

Summary: The UK's housing market is in "neutral gear" and the general election will do little to change that, the mortgage lenders' trade body has said.

Article: Work to install a new linkspan at Ullapool ferry terminal has been pushed back from February to April because of delays in upgrading Stornoway harbour.
The improvements are needed before a new Â£42m ferry can be introduced.
Mr Mackay said he shared local communities' frustration with delays in making the improvements.
The new MV Loch Seaforth had been expected to take over the route from the MV Isle of Lewis last year.
The taskforce will involve Transport Scotland, port authorities, Caledonian Maritime Assets, Caledonian MacBrayne and Comhairle nan Eilean Siar.
Mr Mackay said: "I have called for the formation of this taskforce so we can put the delays behind us and bring the focus back to delivering a project that promises to be a significant upgrade for ferry users.
"The first priority will be to get the harbour works at Stornoway completed at the earliest opportunity."
Calmac is planning a revised sailing schedule to work around disruption caused by the installation of the new linkspan at Ullapool.
The schedule involves:
Calmac said provisional timetables have been drafted and it would be talking to interested parties over the coming weeks about how to "optimise sailing times".
Mr Mackay added: "We must not lose sight of the end goal here - improved harbour facilities in Stornoway and Ullapool and a new state-of-the-art ferry for both communities.
"I look forward to seeing the MV Loch Seaforth operating on this route and bringing an improved service to ferry users."
Ullapool's 42 year old linkspan is to be replaced with a new two-lane structure which would allow vehicles to move on and off ferries quicker.
Delaying the work until April pushes the work into a busier period for ferry sailings.
Martin Dorchester, Calmac's managing director, said: "The introduction of the new vessel Loch Seaforth to the route, and the Ullapool linkspan replacement is completely dependent on the completion of the Stornoway improvements.
"However, to allow passengers to plan their movements as much as possible, the closure is now...

Article: The claim: Leaving the European Union would create a year-long recession.
Reality Check verdict: The Treasury analysis gives two scenarios, described as "shock" and "severe shock". Both point to a recession in the short term, but in the case of the lesser "shock" scenario, while there would be an impact on the economy, the predicted recession would be very mild and well within the bounds of forecasting uncertainty.
And it's not pretty - the Treasury predicts that economic growth would decline, wages would be lower than if we'd stayed in and house prices would fall.
If you're prepared to be influenced by economic modelling (read our Reality Check on the subject here) then there is a simple message, which is that in the first two years, a vote to leave the EU would be a considerably bad thing for the economy.
If you want to go a bit further into the figures, there is more to say.
The Treasury no longer does economic forecasts - that job has now been given to the independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
What the Treasury is doing is what it calls scenario analysis, which is taking what would happen if we stayed in the EU as a base-line and then considering what the impact would be were we to leave.
So all the figures you see today are not how much worse things would be than they are today. They are how much worse things will be in two years if we leave the EU, than they would have been if we stayed in.
The Treasury has modelled two scenarios, the "shock" and the "severe shock" scenarios.
The shock scenario is what it reckons would happen if the country decided to negotiate a bilateral agreement to cover its relationship with the EU. The severe shock scenario is what would happen if we decided to trade as just another World Trade Organisation member, with no special relationship with the EU.
The Chancellor said in his speech: "Within two years the size of our economy - our GDP - would be at least 3% smaller as a result of leaving the EU - and it could be as much as 6% smaller."
"We'd have a year of...

Article: Odeon & UCI is currently owned by private equity firm Terra Firma, and has 242 theatres with 2,236 screens.
Dalian Wanda, the world's biggest movie theatre operator, is led by China's richest man Wang Jianlin.
Odeon & UCI will continue to be based in London and will operate as a subsidiary of AMC.
Adam Aron, AMC's chief executive and president said in a statement: "This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire Europe's leading cinema chain and create the world's biggest and best theatre operator."
He said there were uncertainties created by Brexit, but added "we are encouraged that current currency rates are highly favourable to AMC with the pound falling to a three decade low versus the dollar".
The addition of Odeon & UCI will mean AMC has 627 theatres and more than 7,600 screens in eight countries.
The sale is still subject to competition clearance from the European Commission.
David Hancock, head of film and cinema at IHS Technology, said: "AMC is part of the Wanda group, which includes screens in China, AMC in the US, Hoyts in Australia and now Odeon UCI in Europe: all major exhibitors in their part of the world and making Wanda the largest global cinema exhibition group.
"In addition, Wanda has built the world's largest film production studio in China and acquired Legendary Entertainment, a US producer of blockbuster features, as well as assets in big data, entertainment marketing and gaming distribution."
Wang Jianlin was born in 1954 and spent 16 years in the People's Liberation Army before moving into property.
He founded Wanda in 1988 and built it up to become China's biggest commercial real estate firm.

Article: The 8cm space rock is said to be chemically distinct from any of the 50,000 other such objects held in collections.
Called Österplana 65, it was found in a limestone quarry in Thorsberg, Sweden, that produces floor tiles.
Dating suggests the meteorite's parent body was involved in a huge collision in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter some 470 million years ago.
This would have been the same smash-up that produced a large class of other rocks known as L chondrites, Birger Schmitz and colleagues tell the journal Nature Communications.
The L chondrites are picked up in significant quantities in the Thorsberg sediments of Ordovician age - a period in Earth history when the Northern Hemisphere was largely under water and marine lifeforms such as the trilobites were flourishing.
Dr Schmitz' team has recovered more than a hundred of these "fossil" objects in the quarry. But the new meteorite stands out because geochemically its oxygen and chromium signatures are distinct.
"We've been hunting these Ordovician meteorites for 25 years. We found 50, then 60, then 70 - and it was getting boring," he told BBC News.
"Then in 2011, we found one meteorite that was entirely different. For a long time we called it 'the mysterious object' because it didn't resemble anything. For five years, we have done all types of analysis and now we're certain of what it is."
The hypothesis is that Öst 65 comes from the "second asteroid" in the collision.
The scientists can make this claim because of the results of so-called cosmogenic dating.
This is a technique that will reveal how long the fresh surface of a broken object has been exposed to space radiation.
Impacts from high energy particles generate particular types, or isotopes, of atoms in the rock - in this case, it is forms of helium and neon.
The more of these isotopes that are present, the greater the time since the fragmentation event.
When this dating is done for the L chondrites and Öst 65, the exposure times line up.
"We show that Öst 65 was liberated from its parent...

Full secondary school league tables will be published in January as usual.
Head teachers warned the partial, provisional tables may give parents an "inaccurate and incomplete picture".
The Department for Education data, to be published at 09:30 BST on Thursday, will include the percentage of pupils achieving five or more GCSEs at grades A* to C, including English and maths.
They will also show the percentage of pupils achieving the English Baccalaureate (GCSEs at grades A* to C, including maths, English, two science qualifications, a foreign language and either history or geography).
But the tables will be based on results given out in August, before the appeals process took place, and will not include subsequent changes to grades following re-marks.
In 2014, more than 54,000 GCSE grades were changed after being challenged.
Announcing plans to publish "early" league tables, in July, Schools Minister Nick Gibb said it would provide parents with a more informed choice.
The Department for Education said: "By improving the timeliness and accessibility of these statistics, this will also mean that results are published in advance of the 31 October deadline for secondary school admission applications.
"This will support parents who may wish to use the information when applying for a secondary school place for their child."
But the Association of School and College Leaders said there were "serious problems" with the information being published early.
ASCL general secretary Brian Lightman said: "It's not uncommon for schools to have several grades altered after challenges to results, and this can have a dramatic effect on performance tables.

Article: The alleged victims and their families told BBC Persian that they had decided to speak out after failing to get justice through official channels.
Saeed Tousi, 46, who has ties to both the religious and political elite, faces accusations that he assaulted 10 boys, all Koran students from religious families.
Mr Tousi has strongly denied the claims, which surfaced last week when some of the alleged victims took the unusual step of telling their stories to the foreign media.
One of the accusers described to the BBC an assault which he said took place in a public bath house when he was 12 years old.
"I was so shocked I couldn't understand what was going on," he said.  "I was so afraid to say anything because of the shame it would bring upon my name, but then I found out that there were so many other cases among his students. So I broke my silence."
In claims which cannot be verified independently, the accusers say they launched an official complaint about Mr Tousi six years ago, which resulted in him being brought to court.
The case was dropped and a second alleged victim told the BBC he had now "lost all hope" that justice would be done.
Despite the allegations, a spokesman for the judiciary, Gholam Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, said there was "insufficient evidence" to investigate the abuse claims.
Iranians are not used to hearing such sensitive issues discussed openly in public, and the revelations have prompted much anguished and impassioned debate on the social media platforms which many now use to follow and share news.
BBC Persian's interview with the alleged victims was viewed an unprecedented 400,000 times on its Telegram channel.
"Another shameful page in the history of the Islamic republic," wrote one user, called Meysam. "People are being abused under the banner of religion... and no-one is going to be held accountable."

Article: The Adventure Travel in Scotland guide has been published by Tourism Intelligence Scotland (TIS).
It is aimed at helping companies make the most of new and emerging opportunities in the tourism sector.
Tourism bosses expect a 70% increase in people taking part in adventure travel over the next three years.
According to the guide, more than 3.2 million adventure holiday trips were made in Scotland in 2008, generating almost Â£900m of spending.
Adventure travel includes adventure sports and mountain biking, but also walking and wildlife watching.
The guide provides facts and figures about the market, emerging consumer trends and marketing tips to help operators attract more adventure travellers to their business.
Julie Franchetti, tourism innovation manager at Scottish Enterprise, said: "In the current economic climate, tourism businesses need to continue to look at new ways to innovate and grow their business.
"This guide will give them the knowledge and the tools to make the most of these new opportunities and ensure they meet, and exceed, the needs of these adventurous travellers."
Paul Easto, director of adventure travel company Wilderness Scotland, said good market intelligence was essential to any business.
He added: "For Scotland to thrive as an adventure travel destination, it is fundamentally important that all aspects of the tourism supply chain understand the specific needs and expectations of this market."
TIS is a joint venture developed by Scottish Enterprise, Highlands & Islands Enterprise and VisitScotland, in partnership with the tourism industry.

Article: Updated projections from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries suggest that men aged 65 will now live another 22.2 years, down from 22.8 years in 2013.
Women aged 65 will now live for a further 24.1 years, down from 25.1 years in 2013, the actuaries say.
The change is due to lower expectations of how much death rates will improve.
"Recent population data has highlighted that, since 2011, the rate at which mortality is improving has been slower than in previous years," the Institute explained.
"However, mortality is expected to continue to improve and there is significant uncertainty as to whether this will be at a slower rate than experienced in the first decade of this century," it added.
The actuarial profession bases its analysis - called the Continuous Mortality Investigation (CMI) - on the death statistics for England and Wales which are supplied by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
For the past few decades there has been a very strong and well publicised improvement in life expectancy in the UK, both at birth and also at age 65, which is the most relevant age for pension schemes.
But that trend appears to have slowed down since 2011.
Stephen Caine, of the big actuarial firm Willis Towers Watson, said: "Until recently, mortality rates in the UK were falling at an impressive pace."
"Since 2011, these improvements have stalled [and] as the CMI notes, mortality rates in 2016 were about 11% higher than they would have been if the 2000-2011 trend had continued," he added.
The recent retreat in projected life expectancy has also been recorded for other age groups.
For instance, the CMI data suggests that men aged 45 will now live a further 42 years (down from 43 years in 2013) and that women aged 45 will live for 44 years, down from 45.1 years in 2013.
A spike in deaths in early 2015 during an influenza outbreak provoked some speculation that death rates might in fact start rising for some older age groups.
But Tim Gordon, a spokesman for the CMI, stressed that the changes to life expectancy...

The Met said the three injured girls - two aged 13 and one aged eight - were related to Makayah and his aunt, who was a 34-year-old hairdresser.
The car struck the group at about 14:05 BST on Lennard Road. It had been pursued by police from nearby Birkbeck Road in Beckenham.
One witness said the car was being followed by two police vehicles when the driver "lost control and ploughed into a family".
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating.
Over the past 10 years, 252 members of the public have died following road traffic incidents involving the police in England and Wales, according to the IPCC.
In London, there were 498 crashes involving a pursuit by Met officers in 2015-16.
Friends and neighbours left floral tributes at the scene of the crash on Thursday.
Family friend Emma Cameron called the news "devastating" and said Ms Cooper was "a genuinely lovely girl".
"She never had a bad word to say about anybody. She was the kindest friendliest warmest person. It's just awful," she added.
Makayah had recently auditioned for a part in a television series.

Summary:

Article: The Commission has called for mandatory national quotas to relocate many migrants who have reached Europe. That is highly controversial, and there will be intense government discussions about the proposal.
Countries in the front line of the migration surge want a fairer EU-wide distribution of the burden. Italy faces unprecedented migrant boatloads in the Mediterranean, while Germany faces by far the most asylum claims.
What is the Commission asking member states to do?
The Commission has issued the "European Agenda on Migration", setting out common policy goals for the 28-nation EU to adopt and make law.
It argues that the current system is failing to cope with the migrant influx, which is fuelled by the profits made by people traffickers. The war raging in Libya has exacerbated the flow from there.
There is a human rights imperative for the EU too, as the Mediterranean has seen more than 1,800 migrant deaths at sea this year. Migrants who make it to Europe are often deeply traumatised by the traffickers' brutality.
The impulse for this far-reaching agenda came from the escalating crisis in the Mediterranean and a 10-point emergency plan from EU governments. It called for "a systematic effort to capture and destroy vessels used by the smugglers". It also said the EU must "consider options for an emergency relocation mechanism" for migrants.
The Commission has come up with a "distribution key" to spread the burden of processing asylum claims in the EU. Italy, Greece and Malta are struggling to cope.
That new mechanism is based on countries' population size, GDP, unemployment rate and numbers of existing asylum applications.
Separately, the EU aims to bring 20,000 refugees to Europe in the next two years, at a cost of â‚¬50m (Â£36m). That is being organised in non-EU countries with the UN refugee agency (UNHCR).

Article: Pre-tax profit fell to €3.2bn (£2.4bn) in the first quarter, down from €3.97bn in the same period a year ago.
Chief executive Matthias Mueller said he was "satisfied" with the start of "what will undoubtedly be a demanding" 2016.
VW admitted last year that it installed software to cheat US emissions tests.
It has already set aside more than €16bn to pay for costs arising from the scandal. Analysts at the bank NordLB expect the total to rise to between €20bn and €30bn.
The German giant has agreed a deal with the US Department of Justice in which it will buy back and "substantially" compensate more than 500,000 American owners of its diesel cars affected by the emissions cheating. Final details are expected in June.
"In the first quarter, we once again managed to limit the economic effects of the diesel issue and achieve respectable results under difficult conditions," Mr Mueller added.
Group sales revenue fell 3.4% to €51bn in the period.
Sales of VW-branded cars were particularly hard hit, with profit from that part of the business falling 83% to €73m from €514m last year.
The company maintained its forecast of a 5% fall in 2016 sales revenue compared with last year, "depending on economic conditions - particularly in South America and Russia - and exchange rate developments as well as against the backdrop of the diesel issue".
However, it predicted "a marked decrease in sales revenue" in 2016 for its passenger car brands, which include Audi, Seat and Skoda.
"2016 will be a transitional year for Volkswagen... we remain confident that our operating business will again record solid growth this year," Mr Mueller added.
VW shares fell 3% in Frankfurt to €133.57 and are down 40% over the past 12 months.
Ana Nicholls, automotive analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit, said: "Unit sales continue to rise, up 0.8% in the first quarter of 2016, suggesting that customers care less about the emissions scandal than investors and the media do.

Article: The parents of Srirasmi Suwadee, who was recently divorced from Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, admitted misusing their royal connections 12 years ago.
Nine of Ms Srirasmi's relatives have been arrested since last year.
Thailand's royal family is protected by some of the strictest lese majeste laws in the world.
On Wednesday, a court sentenced Apiruj Suwadee, 72, and his wife Wanthanee, 66, for insulting the royal family, lodging a malicious claim and asking authorities to file false charges against their neighbour in 2003.
Ms Srirasmi gave up all her royal titles last December.
Various members of her family, including her sister and two brothers, have now been convicted and jailed for lese majeste.
The army staged a coup last year, and has since ramped up the use of the charge.
The law prohibits any negative comments about the king, queen, heir or regent. It carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
Media organisations cannot report the full details of any case without risking prosecution under the law.
Critics say the law restricts free speech and is used as a tool to silence political opposition.

Summary: The parents of a former Thai princess have been sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison after pleading guilty to defaming the monarchy.

Article: As with a traditional cash Isa, the interest earned is free of both income and capital gains tax.
In addition, when savers take money out to buy a house or flat, the government adds 25% to whatever is in the account, up to a maximum of £3,000.
So exactly how does it work?
You must be a UK resident, and a first-time buyer. Indeed you cannot have owned a property anywhere in the world. If you have already opened a cash Isa in the same tax year, you will almost certainly need to close it. (See further details below).
The property must be purchased with a mortgage. It cannot be a second property, or for buy-to-let purposes. The maximum purchase price is £250,000, or £450,000 in London. You do not have to buy a property through the government's Help to Buy scheme.
In the first calendar month, you can kick start the Isa with up to £1,200. This does not have to be paid in one go. But you may want to open the account early in the month to take most advantage of it. In subsequent months, you can pay in up to £200.
The government will add 25% to the account at the point you choose to buy a property. The minimum it will add is £400, meaning you need to save at least £1600. The maximum it will add is £3000, when you have saved £12,000.
The bonus is paid on the total amount in the account - in other words including the interest.  But even if the account pays an interest rate of 2% a year, it will still take over four years of saving the maximum amount to earn the £3,000 bonus.
Your solicitor or conveyancer will apply for the bonus when you buy a property. However, the bonus can only be paid out on completion. In other words, it cannot be used to help with the initial deposit, known as the exchange deposit, a restriction which only became clear in August 2016. If there is no house purchase, your savings will continue to receive the interest payable on the Isa account.
No. Only individuals can open an account. But two people buying a property together can each use their bonuses, giving them up to £6,000 to set against the...

Summary: Since 1 December 2015 first-time buyers have been able to save in a Help to Buy Individual Savings Account (HTB Isa) with the government adding money to it.

Article: In a statement, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical weapons (OPCW) said the declaration was submitted three days ahead of schedule.
OPCW inspectors are also due to complete visiting the last four of 23 weapons sites declared by Syria.
The OPCW's mission was set up following outrage at a chemical weapons attack near the Syrian capital in August.
Sixty inspectors have been in Syria since 1 October. The OPCW, which is based in The Hague, said on Friday that its  team in Syria had visited 19 of the 23 sites disclosed by Syria.

21 August attack: What we know
Under the UN resolution which set up the mission, Syria's chemical weapons production equipment must be destroyed by 1 November and stockpiles must be disposed of by mid-2014.
The organisation's work in Syria marks the first time the international chemical weapons watchdog - which won this year's Nobel Peace Prize - has been asked to oversee the destruction of a weapons armoury during a conflict.
More than 100,000 people have been killed in the fighting that has ravaged Syria for two-and-a-half years, according to the UN.
More than two million people have fled Syria and some 4.5 million have been forced from their homes within the country.
Casualty figures vary for the chemical weapons attack on the Ghouta agricultural belt around Syria's capital, Damascus, on 21 August.
It was estimated to have killed hundreds of people. The United States and other Western powers blamed the attack on President Bashar al-Assad's forces.
But Mr Assad accuses Syrian rebels of being behind it.

Article: Researchers found the "social, economic and political contexts of the 1980s" may have caused an increase in drug deaths in the following years.
The new analysis was carried out by NHS Health Scotland and Glasgow University.
The news comes as the Scottish government convenes a meeting of health leaders to discuss future drugs policy.
The research found a cohort within those born between 1960 and 1980, the group known as "Generation X", who had an increased risk of drug-related death from 1990 onwards.
They also found links to gender and deprivation - young men in poor neighbourhoods were found to be 10 times as likely to die from drugs as women of the same age from a more affluent area.
Report author Dr Jon Minton, a quantitative research associate at Glasgow University, said similar patterns had previously been reported about the risk of suicide in deprived areas.
His analysis was "consistent with the hypothesis that economic and other policy decisions during the 1980s created rising income inequality, the erosion of hope amongst those who were least resilient and able to adjust, and resulted in a delayed negative health impact".
He said: "The same kind of pattern we have observed and reported on previously regarding the risk of suicide in vulnerable cohorts in deprived areas in Scotland is repeated, and even more clearly visible, when looking at trends in drug-related death risk.
"For people born in 1960s and 70s, the risk of drug-related deaths throughout the life course was much increased, and gender and area inequalities in these risks increased even more.
"The similarity in trends in both suicide and drug-related deaths suggests a common underlying cause."
Drug deaths in Scotland hit a record high in 2015 with 706 people listed as having died as a result of drug abuse that year. A similar pattern occurred elsewhere in the UK.
The number has been steadily increasing since 1995, when 426 deaths were recorded, and a rising number of deaths have been among older age groups - 73% of the 2015 deaths were of...

Summary: Rising inequality during the 1980s increased the risk of drug-related deaths among members of "Generation X" in Scotland, a new study has found.

Article: From Sunday, the maximum sum any one person can invest rises to £40,000.
That is an increase of £10,000 from the current limit of £30,000. The last time the limit was raised was in May 2003, when it increased from £20,000 to £30,000.
It is the latest tweak to the operations of what was originally a scheme to help the government raise essential cash without going to the money markets.
For nearly 60 years now, Ernie - the UK's official electronic random-number-indicator - has been whirring away picking the month's prize-winning Premium Bonds.
About a third of us - that is 21 million people - already hold at least 100 of these National Savings and Investments (NS&I) lottery-style bonds.
"People tend to either love or hate Premium Bonds," says Sarah Pennells, editor of the Savvywoman website.
"Those who win regularly love them, but those who've never won a penny probably feel they're a waste of time."
Ernie has been steadily getting higher tech. Once upon a time, a letter postmarked "Lytham St Annes" told you if you had won a prize. Now you just check your numbers online.

If you're relying on the Premium Bonds to make you a millionaire there's bad news I'm afraid.
There are 45.7 billion bonds in circulation and one £1m prize, so your chances of winning the jackpot with a single bond are (with thanks to Prof David Spiegelhalter)  slightly worse than the odds of flipping a coin and getting 35 consecutive heads.
From August, there will be a second £1m prize added, which improves your odds to 34 consecutive heads.
But your chances of winning any one of the 1.8m prizes is considerably better - about 25,000 to one - which is about 15 consecutive heads.
Try this excellent calculator to find out more about how much you should expect to win.
But the basics remain the same. By investing in Premium Bonds, you forgo any interest payments on your money but are entered into a monthly prize draw in the hope of winning £1m.
Julian Hynd, NS&I's retail director, is clearly braced for a...

Summary: There is good news for lovers of Premium Bonds.

Article: Thomas Allsopp's Audi A8 was clocked hitting 149mph on the M6 Toll - and he later told police he only stopped because he had run out of petrol.
He only had a provisional driving licence and was uninsured, so he should not have been on the road at all.
The 24-year-old, from Leicestershire, was given a suspended sentence.
PC Jim Barry, who works with the Central Motorway Police Group, said his driving was "extremely reckless and dangerous".
"At one stage he overtook a recovery truck on a blind bridge entering Minworth village," he said.
"Allsopp showed no remorse and said he had no intention of stopping for officers - only stopping because he ran out of fuel - and agreed he didn't give his three passengers any opportunity to exit his vehicle."
West Midlands Police officers on street racing patrols on the A38 originally spotted him parked across an emergency vehicle access slip road to the motorway on 27 December.
They approached him but he sped off down the A38, and was caught on camera weaving in and out of traffic.
Police followed him along the M6 Toll, where he ended up crashing through exit barriers.
Allsopp, from Roston Drive in Hinckley, admitted dangerous driving and other motoring offences.
He was given an eight-month jail sentence, suspended for 12 months, at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday.
He was also ordered to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work and banned from driving for 18 months.

Summary: Video footage has been released of a "reckless" learner driver who travelled at over double the national speed limit as he tried to outrun police.

Article: It is the third confirmed diagnosis of the H5N8 strain of avian flu in Lincolnshire in about four weeks.
Some of the birds at the undisclosed premises in Lincolnshire have died. The rest are due to be culled.
Defra said an investigation was "under way to determine the source of the infection".
A 1.8-mile (3km) protection zone and a six-mile (10km) surveillance area have been set up around the turkey rearing farm to reduce the risk of the disease spreading.
An outbreak of the virus in a flock of about 6,000 turkeys at Low Farm, in Fulstow, near Louth, was "unlikely to be directly linked to the previous case" at the nearby Austen Fen Farm, Defra had said.
All restrictions were removed around Austen Fen Farm on 18 January but still remain at Low Farm while an inquiry there continues.
This latest case in Boston comes two days after bird flu was found in pheasants that were being bred at a farm in Wyre, Lancashire.
The same strain has been discovered in birds in Settle, North Yorkshire, a swannery in Dorset and flocks in Carmarthenshire, south west Wales.
In December, the government introduced an avian influenza prevention zone, which lasts until 28 February, to help protect poultry and captive birds from avian flu after the strain was found in 14 European countries including Germany and France.

Article: Cardiff University's survey of 152 hospitals found 188,803 people were admitted for injuries from a fight or assault - 10% fewer than in 2015.
The figures are the lowest since 2001, when the survey first recorded data.
But they are at odds with police statistics which have recently recorded increases in violent crime.
The study's lead author, Professor Jonathan Shepherd of the Violence Research Group at Cardiff University, said there had been a substantial decrease in violence-related injuries for both men and women in 2016 compared with 2015.
Since 2010, researchers found a decline of 40% in people needing treatment in emergency departments after violence, he added.
Decreases in drug uses and binge drinking were said to be possible reasons for falls in violent incidents.
But the group's latest report, which also assessed records from minor injury units and walk-in centres, said casualties peaked at weekends - suggesting that alcohol-related violence remained a significant problem.
The data showed males and people aged 18 to 30 continued to be at most risk from violence.
Violence-related injuries sustained by children aged up to 10 showed a year-on-year rise of 10% in 2016.
The research does not examine the reasons for the decline in violence but better detection and reporting of serious violence by emergency departments and more targeted policing were also cited in the report as possible factors.
Prof Shepherd told the BBC that increased CCTV which allowed police to target incidents quicker and efforts to reduce domestic violence should also be taken into account.
He said the substantial year-on-year decline meant "costs imposed on health services and the criminal justice system by violence have been substantially reduced".

Article: Beijing's China Daily: "The agreement [on raising the US debt ceiling] is likely to avert default by Washington and it certainly is a relief for China... We still cannot rule out the possibility of a downgrade of the US credit rating if Washington fails to come up with a long-term and balanced solution to address its debt problem... For policy makers in Beijing, seeking alternative ways to invest the massive foreign exchange reserves and to reduce its rapid accumulation remain the crucial challenges." (Interview with Chen Daofu, director, Policy Research Centre, Financial Research Institute, State Council Development Research Centre)
Beijing's Global Times: "It is too early to cheer for this deal, since raising the debt ceiling simply means the US can now borrow itself into further debt... This does not seem a smart move. By using new debt to pay back the old, the US is sinking further into quicksand." (Editorial)
Nezavisimaya Gazeta: "Naturally, the problems of the USA and the dollar as well as of the EU and the euro cannot but disturb Russia. As we know, it holds its currency reserves in dollars and euros. We should assume that our government is not leaving matters to chance and is taking steps against possible risks...

Article: The device, which weighs 770g (1.69lb) and has a 31cm (12.3in) screen, will cost from $799 in the US and Â£799 in the UK.
Microsoft Surface boss Panos Panay told the BBC it had been "completely redesigned inside out", and would be more intuitive to use.
One expert said the new device was a showcase for Windows 10.
"They're really using the Surface Pro as a shop window for what can be done on a very dedicated device," Ranjit Atwal, research director at Gartner, explained to the BBC.
"Their future isn't dependent on selling the Surface, but they do need to show off Windows 10."
Earlier this month, Mr Panay had told CNET that there would be "no such thing as a Pro 5".
"This is not the Pro 5, that's important to recognise," he explained to the BBC.
"The footprint is very similar, but the change is inside: the new parts, the performance, the battery, the LTE connectivity, the software."
The Surface Pro contains 800 new parts, which Mr Panay said would make it "faster, more powerful, lighter and more intuitive".
Microsoft claims it is 2.5 times faster than the Surface Pro 3, and that its battery will last 50% longer than that in the Pro 4.
"The PC market has been in the doldrums but it's finding its new place", Mr Atwal said.
"It's smaller but people are spending more per device. They're looking for something that will make them more productive."
The Surface Pro will go on sale alongside the Surface laptop, which was unveiled at the start of May.
But the first new Surface Pros sold will only have wi-fi connectivity; a 4G-LTE version will not be available until the autumn.
"People have asked for [4G-LTE connectivity] for a long time," Mr Panay said.
"But there's a lot of technology you have to fit in, and we didn't want to compromise the design or performance."
Mr Atwal said that at present, such devices tended to be used "in one stationary place, then in another stationary place".
"As these devices get lighter, more productive, and become instant on, that instant connectivity wherever you are will start to become...

The party's ruling National Executive Committee had threatened him with expulsion if he did not resign from one of the posts by Sunday.
But on Monday it voted to put the matter to the membership.
UKIP chairman Paul Oakden told BBC Wales it was the right thing to do.
Mr Gill did not respond to the request to step down by the deadline so was briefly expelled from the party.
But the NEC voted to reinstate him and let members decide his fate.
Mr Oakden said: "The NEC believes, as I do, that members in Wales are the best people to make this decision.
"I will now decide how to do this fairly, cleanly and as soon as possible."
