When John Maynard Keynes surveyed the world in the 1930s, his concern was that Britain, then the greatest empire in the world, faced having too few people. Today the issue is of over- rather than under-population. By 2050 Britain for the first time in history will become the most populous nation in western Europe.

An Icelandic volcano, dormant for 200 years, has erupted, ripping a 1km-long fissure in a field of ice.
The volcano near Eyjafjallajoekull glacier began to erupt just after midnight, sending lava a hundred metres high.
Icelandic airspace has been closed, flights diverted and roads closed. The eruption was about 120km (75 miles) east of the capital, Reykjavik.
About 500 people were moved from the area, a civil protection officer said.
