Gab is a new social network that pits itself as an alternative to Twitter because it puts ‘free speech’ first. Some claim it has become a ‘safe space for the alt-right’ because of some of the users it has attracted. We ask the network’s founder why he felt compelled to create it, and speak with one of its users.

And – in China, a care home for elderly people is apparently offering to pay the children of its residents to come and visit their parents. We investigate what lies behind the controversial strategy.
