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.

The shift from extremist views to violent intent was the clearest trend in MI5’s work over the past year, and it contributed to a rise in the overall UK terror threat level.

McCallum said young people were particularly likely to be drawn into extreme rightwing terrorism, and MI5 investigated a radicalised 13-year-old this year.

Yale researchers found that lacosamide may help treat osteoarthritis, a condition in which joint cartilage wears away.

Current treatments can ease pain, but do not repair the cartilage; severe cases may require joint replacement surgery.

In tests using mice and human cartilage cells in the lab, lacosamide slowed cartilage damage, encouraged repair and reduced pain.

The drug blocks Nav1.7, a protein involved in pain signals and the balance between cartilage breakdown and repair.
