MI5 chief Ken McCallum warned that rightwing extremism is increasingly linked to plans for terrorist attacks in the UK.

He said people driven by anti-immigration and anti-Muslim views were considering attacks on immigration centres, asylum hotels, migrants and Muslims.

Researchers found evidence of a possible planet around the white dwarf HS 0209+0832, using old observations from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.

Hubble first recorded about 100 chemical signatures it could not identify in this system in 1999.

The team matched many of those signatures to niobium, an element that can form in the unusual conditions inside dying stars.

The amount detected was about 1,000 times the level in our Sun, pointing to a planet made from material shed by the star.

Most participants were students, while 144 said they had been in prison.

They wrote about high points, low points and turning points in their lives, then completed a questionnaire measuring boldness, callousness and disinhibition.

People scoring higher in boldness used fewer words about fear, while those scoring higher in callousness used a more positive tone and more words about achievement and rewards.
