Live reports on the latest in science and technology.
The tragedy at Lockerbie showed how vulnerable aircraft are to the terrorist but researchers have also learnt from what happened to Flight 103. Forensic evidence from the Lockerbie disaster showed that the fatal damage occurred when the bomb blast breached the walls of a metal luggage container - the type used worldwide to carry hundreds of suitcases in airplane holds.
As a result of this evidence, new luggage containers have been designed. Their plastic walls are able to stretch and deform, hopefully enough to diffuse the destructive force of a terrorist bomb planted inside.
Plus a report on a new strain of spiky grass that, when planted around airfields, deters birds from settling, thereby removing the threat they can pose to aviation.

Investigative science series. Little Monsters. "He's like a Jekyll and Hyde, an angel one moment and a monster the next," says the distraught mother of a 7-year-old. Most children can be little monsters at times but there are some who seem to be permanently uncontrollable whatever their parents do. Hyperactivity is one of the most controversial conditions in child psychiatry. In older children it can lead to vandalism and serious crime.
Is it due to food additives, brain damage or just bad parenting? Tonight's programme reports on new research which has produced surprising answers, bringing hope for at least some of the little monsters.
