China has successfully landed a jet fighter on its new aircraft carrier for the first time, officials say.
A Chinese-made J-15 fighter landed on the 300m (990ft) former Soviet carrier during recent exercises, China's defence ministry said on Sunday.

The UK National Rail site can search for journeys between different destinations, and will also display the likely fare. Unless, the journey is from Oxford to Hawarden (about 170 miles by road, according to Google Maps), travelling tomorrow from 08:00, in which case the fare will be £179,769,313,486,231,570,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000.00
The site even notes "We are sorry, but we couldn't find any First Class tickets available. You can try searching in different times or dates for available First Class tickets". Which is probably just as well.

Torchwood, the spinoff series from Doctor Who aired tonight on BBC Three, with a double helping. Featuring (amongst others) Captain Jack Harkness (played as egotistically cocksure as ever by John Borrowman), it charts the Cardiff based Torchwood 2, as they battle aliens attracted to the temporal rift there. Unlike Doctor Who, which is firmly routed in family viewing, Torchwood is very, very much a post-watershed show. Particularly the second episode. Still good though. Taster clip here
