MONDAY 4th OCTOBER 2010 07:35(BST)

After (another!) difficult day yesterday, sufficient balance has returned for a Monday edition.

THIS DAY IN WW2 (4.10.40)
In Italy... Hitler and Mussolini meet at the Brenner Pass. Hitler warns Mussolini against undertaking new campaigns and offers help in Africa, which Mussolini declines.
In London... Sir Charles Portal is chosen to be the new Chief of the Air Staff. The former chief, Sir Cyril Newall, is appointed Governor General of New Zealand.
