    'President Putin 'probably' approved Litvinenko murder'

    So says the Independent enquiry in Litvinenko's death of a few years back. Pretty strong stuff to explicitly name Putin as probably being involved. I doubt many will be surprised but the direct link in his death to the Russian President is unusual. No doubt our relations with Russia will see a...

    Right, so what's happened since Boxing DayChristmas*? I heard Brown locked the players in the dressing room for 3 hours after one defeat (that made the main sports page on the BBC!), we seemed to get thumped a couple of times, Bentley saved a last minute penalty on Saturday and we've signed a...

    NHS Junior Doctors Industrial Action

    It's probably time to open up this particular issue. NHS Junior Doctors are taking industrial action for the first time in 40 years. So, is it ever right for medical staff to take this sort of action? The BBC took a poll very recently to see what patients' views towards this action were. Two...

    "Tainted" New Year's Honours list
