UK LABOUR LEADER ENTERS EU CAMPAIGN

The case for Britain to stay in the European Union is being set out (Thursday) by opposition Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn.

He says there is a 'socialist case' for remaining an EU member, and points to the environmental protections and workers' rights the bloc offers.

However, his critics suggest his support for the EU is 'lukewarm' and he is known to have in the past supported Britain leaving Europe because of its lack of democratic accountability and tendency towards deregulation.

Political reporter Theo Usherwood says Mr Corbyn's enthusiasm for the EU remains in doubt.

Families sue Germanwings training school

The families of the victims of the Germanwings crash, in which 150 people died last year, are suing a US flight school for screening failures.


Andreas Lubitz, the co-pilot, flew the plane into a mountain in the French Alps in March 2015 after locking the captain out of the cockpit.


The case argues that the training school failed to investigate his medical history, as our correspondent in Berlin, Natalie Powell reports.
