Also: President Trump floats the idea of removing broadcasting licences from US networks that show programmes which criticise him; the "mileage clock" inside a rat's brain which could help in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease; the former tennis champion, Björn Borg, on how he is battling cancer like a Wimbledon final; and Intervision is Russia's answer to the Eurovision Song Contest but is it entertainment or propaganda for President Putin?
