The Chancellor's claims for the benefits of 'fracking' to extract shale gas and oil have been questioned by the UK Energy Research Centre, which works on sustainable energy systems.

When you hear the term 'refugee camp' you probably think of an organised settlement, run by an aid agency. But in Lebanon where we are this morning, the camps are more ad hoc - the Lebanese fear a repeat of the big Palestinian refugee camps and do not allow anything that might become a permanent base to be built. The 大象传媒's Chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet has been there over the past few days and joins us now live from Damascus.

The Home Secretary says she can't rule our a cover-up in her department over child abuse between 1979 and 1999 after an inconclusive report into what happened to sensitive files led by Peter Wanless, chief executive of the NSPCC. His investigation, with Richard Whittam QC. They say they found no evidence that any files had been removed or destroyed...and say that their report shouldn't be taken as concluding 'one way or the other' that there was organised child abuse that has yet to be fully uncovered. In their report they say the only evidence for the destruction of files was the testimony of Tim Hulbert, a consultant who worked with the Home Office in the 80s.听

If you had visited Syria four years ago you would have found it to be relatively prosperous for a developing country - universal basic education and health services for its 20 million citizens - a pride in its rich cultural heritage. It was also a police state where few dared to cross the Assad government. Today, half of the Syrian population has been uprooted - the urban landscape scarred by the fighting. The rebels have not only failed to depose Bashar Al Assad - he appears to be stronger than ever, watching US-led air strikes target one of his opponents - the Islamic State. Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen is in Damascus.

A debate has been raging for many weeks on what - if anything - Britain should do to combat the rise of Islamic State extremists - join in air strikes on Syria as well as Iraq, once again put 'boots on the ground' in the Middle East. But there is a much bigger crisis engulfing the region - one that's developed over the last three and a half years and has the fight against Bashar Al Assad at its heart. The UN says Syria's war has caused the worst humanitarian crisis in recent memory - 10 million people displaced - and half of all Syrian refugees are children. In the camp in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. To date 50 Syrians have been re settled in the UK through the official programme for refugees.

Is there anyone left in Britain who can make a sandwich? A question on the mind of the Daily Mail this week, when it ran a story saying that one sandwich company was recruiting in Hungary because it was hard to recruit anyone at home.听 The 11th Earl of Sandwich, who is - of course - a director of the sandwich making company which bears his name.....(it was a job made for him, really....)

It was the beheading of Western hostages by extremists of the Islamic State that drew the United States and its allies into action on targets in Iraq and Syria. There is still a British hostage John Cantlie, being held by the group. But kidnapping is being used to devastating effect against Syria's neighbours too. Three months ago, more than thirty Lebanese soldiers were abducted by militants from bases close to the Syrian border. Some were beheaded - others are being held hostage and paraded in videos released by their abductors.
