One for legal geographers: I flew over the A69 Castres - Toulouse motorway, 45% finished, at w/e. They stopped work on it in Feb when courts ruled the environmental costs outweigh the public interest. Goes to Senate tomorrow. MPs likely to override judicial authority: test case for environmental law

A difficult day for King's College as we remember student Aalia Mahomed who was tragically killed this time last week when a van driver entered the pedestrian precinct outside the College. Another two students were injured. A shocking event that has impacted a lot of students here.
