And that fleeting moment when stumbling across each other's profiles on a dating app can be vital, as Ashley and Joe know.Ashley worries that people who use Tinder's new filter "might be cutting themselves off from people who're a potential match for them, rather than someone who's their preferred height".

But for now her swiping days are over, and her relationship with Joe is blossoming. He's "phenomenal", Ashley says, "super sweet".Atul Kumar (name changed) anxiously paced the corridor of a public hospital in India's capital Delhi.A small-appliance mechanic, he was struggling to secure medicines for his 26-year-old daughter who suffers from drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB). Mr Kumar said his daughter needed 22 tablets of Monopas, an antibiotic used for treating TB, every day.

"In the past 18 months, I haven't received government-supplied medicine for even two full months," he told BBC Hindi in January, months before India's declared deadline to eliminate the infectious disease.Forced to buy costly drugs from private pharmacies, Mr Kumar was drowning in debt.

After the BBC raised the issue, authorities supplied the medicines Mr Kumar's daughter needed. Federal Health Secretary Punya Salila Srivastava said that the government usually acts quickly to fix medicine access issues when alerted.

I've a soft spot for bats and used to love watch them flying around the oak tree in the evening, they've gone."

The road crosses the south Wales coalfields, a national park and twists mightily close to people's homes, especially in Merthyr where the final section of roadworks were done.John grows his own fruit and vegetables but after three years of construction work next to his house he said he has had to "restart the garden from scratch" due to the dirt and dust.

"I'm left picking up the pieces," said the former microbiologist. "It has been extremely stressful for a lot of years."He said the stress started when after years of reassurances that the new road would not take any of his land, those behind the project changed their mind and wanted to knock down part of his house.
