19 Maddie disappeared while on a family holiday in Portugal in 2007 when she was just threeyears-old. It means she would be 14 now and, unlike Harriet, still be in secondary school.

23 That would have been an explosive development in the ongoing investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to interfere in the election. But hours later, Ross clarified his report on the evening news, saying that his source now said Trump had done so not as a candidate, but as president-elect. At that point, he said, Trump had asked Flynn to contact the Russians about issues including working together to fight ISIS. PAGE 23

28 WOOLLY MAMMOTH ON VERGE OF RESURRECTION, SCIENTISTS REVEAL The woolly mammoth vanished from the earth 4,000 years ago, but now scientists say they are on the brink of resurrecting the ancient beast in a revised form, through an ambitious triumph of genetic engineering. They have used DNA from mammoths that were preserved in arctic permafrost to look for the genes that separated them from elephants such as those with code for a shaggy coat, big ears and antifreeze blood. Professor George Church says,"our aim is to produce a hybrid elephant / mammoth embryo. Actually, it would be more like an elephant with a number of mammoth traits.
