Friday we got this one, which has Matthew Chance reporting from Moscow about the expected drop in birthrate and rise in abortions, and Jim Boulden from London on the rise in internet dating:

I am glad Jack is coming out with a new book.
I didn't realize his wife had died. I was busy during the time it happened. Very sad.
