that the chinese authorities we re denied that the chinese authorities were deliberately separating families, parents from their children, but the bbcvident is it that the chinese authorities are concerned about the threat of islamic extremism though? that's a lwa ys islamic extremism though? that's always the excuse, the reason that the chinese authorities used to carry out what they are doing in this region, placing perhaps1 million people in camps and separating families and children. if there is a problem with extremism and terrorism, is it really the best way to put all these people in detention camps without legal process or any right to appeal and with no end to their incarceration? you could say they were going over the top, and that is certainly what critics have said, considering that the number of terrorist events there has been relatively few compared to the action or reaction from the chinese government. michael bristow, thank you. jodrell bank observatory in cheshire has been awarded unesco world heritage status. it's home to the lovell telescope which has probing the depths of space since 1957. the organisation says i
