In the last few minutes, we have been told that the search has been called off by the french authorities. Simonjones reports from dover. The sea has claimed several more lives.

History is thankfully and finally beginning to accord a rightful place to those men and women of the windrush generation. You look beautiful. How are you . It is, i believe, crucially important that we should truly see and hear these pioneers who stepped off the Empire Windrush at tilbury injune i9li8, only a few months before i was born. And those who followed over the decades to recognise and celebrate the immeasurable difference that they, their children and their grandchildren have made to this country. Many served with distinction in the British Armed forces during the second world war, just as their fathers and grandfather

This is an absolute tragedy today in the channel, and my thoughts and prayers are with all those affected. What we now really need to see is the french stopping these unseaworthy and overcrowded vessels getting into the channel in the first place, and a joint channel security zone.

Ageing by itself is the largest risk factor for every single disease, this Chronic Disease of ageing, so by targeting it, you target all disease together. But how do we separate science from snake oil . The Longevity Industry is worth billions, with hopes of delaying disease, extending our sprightly years and maybe even throwing in a few extra. I let a system of science and data run my body. It does a betterjob taking care of me than i can. Maybe even our Furry Friends can be with us for longer. He sneezed in my face.
