What the 19-year-old from Florida was reading, she would say later, were various comments, negative ones, 'saying I wasn't going to win today; that just put the fire in me.

Agriculture economist Richard Howitt thinks to get out of this water crisis California's farmers must make some major changes. 'It will hurt some sectors,' he says.

Pupils with special educational needs and disabilities should be given equal opportunities to learn languages, a new report argues. Anecdotal evidence suggests that children with SEND are often removed from language lessons, because the subject is perceived as "difficult", an assumption that is further exacerbated by trends with GCSE subject choices. Instead of withdrawing children with additional needs from the foreign languages classroom, opportunities should be provided for them to thrive within it.
