Numberplate recognition cameras routinely survey the movements of millions of motorists The home secretary, Theresa May, has ordered that a national police camera network that logs more than 10m movements of motorists every day be placed under statutory regulation. Her decision means that a “Big Brother” police database that currently holds a mammoth 7.6bn records of the movement of motorists using more than 4,000 cameras across the country will have to be operated with proper accountability and safeguards. Each entry on the database includes the numberplate, location, date, time and a photograph of the front of the car, which may include images of the driver and any passengers.

Last year, the ministry announced the end to the recruitment and training of TBAs after finding they had deviated from their major role of identifying and referring pregnant mothers to health centres

Fabio Capello and his Italian cabal has the FA considering the insanity of blocking the road to English coaches Whoever comes in next as England’s general manager (aka fixer) is unlikely to have a stake in a theatre company in Florence, sport heavyweight literature on trips or express strong left-wing views. A free spirit and all-round dude, Franco Baldini would be the ideal No2 if the game’s so-called mother country were to erase her identity and enter all tournaments from now on as Englatalia. As Fabio Capello dangles on indecision’s rope the feeling spreads that England’s experiment with the mass importation of foreign expertise has run its course

The pictures are deplorable: incompetent copies, botched restorations, outright fakes. The most painful thing for the gallery is that it bought most of them genuinely believing they were masterpieces

The well-built man, complete with six-pack and muscular shoulders, is no longer the ideal male body shape. But when did men start aspiring to be thin?

Through detailed observations of Tanzanian apes, Jane Goodall revolutionised our knowledge of chimpanzee behaviour Fifty years ago, a slender young Englishwoman was walking through a rainforest reserve at Gombe, in Tanzania, when she came across a dark figure hunched over a termite nest. A large male chimpanzee was foraging for food. So she stopped and watched the animal through her binoculars as he carefully took a twig, bent it, stripped it of its leaves, and finally stuck it into the nest
