French Air Traffic Strikes Cancel's 200 UK Flights
Strike action by French air traffic controllers has caused some 200 flights in and out of UK airports to be cancelled.

The controllers are protesting against EU plans to create a single European airspace.
Restrictions On Electronic Cigarettes To Be Introduced
New regulations will see electronic cigarettes being licensed as medicine from 2016.
The UK currently has few restrictions on the use of e-cigarettes, despite moves in some countries to ban them.
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency says it will regulate e-cigarettes as medicines when new European tobacco laws come into force.
MP Told To Cover Page Three Protest T-Shirt
Green Party MP Caroline Lucas was told to comply with Westminster's dress code and cover up her anti-Page Three t-shirt.
Lucas revealed the t-shirt, which read: 'No More Page Three', at the start of a debate on media sexism.
Agreeing to comply with the dresscode, she added: "It does strike me as a certain irony that this T-shirt is regarded as an inappropriate thing to be wearing in this House, whereas apparently it is appropriate for this kind of newspaper to be available to buy in eight different outlets on the Palace of Westminster estate."
