  • Disgraced DSK goes on trial for ‘pimping’
    Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former head of the IMF, goes on trial in France this week on charges of “aggravated pimping".

One relatively new solution, dubbed extreme childcare, is to find after hours and even overnight nurseries which allow parents to meet the growing need to work long hours and shifts. Emma Jacobs visits one of the few nurseries in the UK to offer such care.
