EU backs controversial copyright law

Copyright laws which critics say could change the internet have been voted in by the European Parliament.

The new rules will hold tech firms - such as Google and YouTube - responsible for material posted without copyright permission.

Many musicians and creators say the legislation will compensate artists fairly - but others argue that they will destroy user-generated content.

Bees: Many British pollinating insects in decline, study shows

A third of British wild bees and hoverflies are in decline, according to a new study.

If current trends continue, some species will be lost from Britain altogether, the scientists say.

The study found "winners" and "losers" among hundreds of wild bees and hoverflies, which pollinate food crops and other plants.

Common species are winning out at the expense of rarer ones, with an overall picture of biodiversity being lost.

Scientists warn that the loss of nature could create problems in years to come, including the ability to grow food crops.
