The furore over a rise in business rates continues to make front-page headlines in the newspapers.

He claimed a link between the MMR vaccine and autism, but was later struck off.

One researcher from Oxford University tells the paper: "We've looked at every possible cause we can imagine, and cuts are the only explanation."

The Department of Health disputes the findings, saying there is "significant variation" each year in reported excess deaths.

A team at Harvard University plans to splice mammoth genes with elephant DNA to create a hybrid embryo, with mammoth features.
