It is on sale, by the way outside the room here. John has long been one of the leading voices on the intersection of science and Public Policy. And make no mistake, however calmly, reasonably expressed, his is a very contrary invoice. It was johns New York Times column, the big city, which ran from the mid 90s until 2002, that first made me a fan of his work. There, he took on any number of prevailing myths about cities. From the efficacy of rent control to the root causes of homelessness to environmental policy. One remarkable column was his irritation at Rosie Odonnells relentless public criticism of mayer Rudy Giulianis use of Law Enforcement to get the homeless off of new york city sidewalks back in the 90s. So how would odonnells, hometown deal with a similar problem john wondered .

5 live and online. Good morning and welcome to the bbc news at 9. At least five people have died and several others are missing after a volcano erupted at a popular tourist site in new zealand. The eruption on white island happened just after 2pm local time. One tourist who was leaving the island, filmed the eruption as it sent a thick plume of ash and smoke into the sky. Other footage showed a group of visitors inside the crater. New Zealand Police say that around 50 people were on or near the island at the time, including travellers from overseas. Both New Zealanders and overseas tourists are believed to be involved. We believe a number of these tourists have come from the ovation of the seas cruise ship. We cannot confirm the nationalities of these people involved. Due to the current risk, Emergency Services are unable to access the island.
