内容摘要：Attitudes to immigration are, says Katwala, "very closely correlated to the distribution of meaningful contact with ethnic diversity and migration - especially from a young age. So places of high migration, high diversity, are more confident about migration than areas of low migration and low diversity, because although they might be dealing with the real-world challenges and pressures of change, they've also got contact between people."

These figures are estimates of changes in the total number of homes in each area, taking account of new build homes and existing buildings conversions, minus any demolitions.The targets are the government's new "local housing need" calculations, released following a public consultation.

The latest number of new homes comes from energy performance certificates for new builds or conversions, which every property must have upon construction.These are indicators of new housing supply but can differ from the final net additional dwellings because they don't account for demolition and may have been lodged before the home was ready to live in.Planning statistics are taken from quarterly data and combine applications decided for "minor" housing developments (fewer than 10 homes) and "major" schemes (10 homes or more).

The planning data is at local authority level. Applications decided by special authorities such as those in charge of national parks are not included.We have included the latest data on new house building completions by local authority for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, but the 1.5 million homes target applies only in England.

The meat of brown bears, a protected species in the EU, could soon be available to eat in Slovakia after the populist government approved plans for sale.

Last month, the cabinet authorised a plan to shoot about a quarter of the country's 1,300 brown bears in response to some recent fatal encounters.Prof Lyall said: "The minister at the end of Sunset Song, in tribute to the local fallen war dead of World War One, indicates that we must remember the past and the dead to better understand our present condition and build a better future.

"It would be a sad irony then if the church, with its own long history, were to be neglected."It would be wonderful to see it as a cultural heritage site with Gibbon's life and reputation at its centre."

The Church of Scotland said it expected the main church building would go up for sale later this year.Its congregation for Sunday services is small, in what is a quiet rural area of just a few hundred people.
