Shadow ministers will unveil a series of policies on day two of the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham.

No reason has been given for the withdrawal, but it follows a major incident last week when police were alerted to "suspicious vehicles" near the airbase.

US psychiatrist and neurologist Karl Deisseroth and his German colleagues Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel have been awarded for their work.

Mountbatten-Windsor's lawyers are challenging warrants used relating to his arrest in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel were recognized for their work on light-gated ion channels and optogenetics, a technique that uses tiny lights to activate neurons in the brain.
