Imagine a world where video cameras are not just watching and reporting for security, but have an even wider positive impact on our lives. Imagine that cameras control street and building lights, as people come and go, that traffic jams are predicted and vehicles are automatically rerouted, and more tills are opened, just before a queue starts to form.

The LibDems announced their plans for federalism in the UK alongside the release of a booklet entitled Bring Our Country Together.
BORIS Johnson Tories believe land is “over-privileged and not even willing to be grateful”, according to one of the country’s most eminent historians. Professor Sir Tom Devine was speaking to The ahead of the official publication of a report into the choices facing land as it looks to a second independence referendum.
