France to issue citizens' handbook on how to be more French to every child
French children are to be given a "citizen's handbook" to teach them to be better republicans, as part of national identity measures announced by the government today. Schools will be ordered to fly the French flag and to have a copy of the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen in every classroom. The measures, announced by the French prime minister, François Fillon, are the first to emerge from the country's controversial debate on national identity. Under new rules, immigrants who come to live in France, who since 2007 have had to sign a contract of welcome and integration, will have to take part in a more solemn ceremony to become French citizens. They will also be expected to demonstrate a better command of the French language and a greater knowledge of the "values of the republic". All candidates will be required to sign a "charter" outlining their rights and responsibilities.

Afonso IV of Portugal (1291)
Afonso IV, known as "the Brave," was king of Portugal from 1325 until his death in 1357. A soldier and general, he fought several wars against Castile and the Moors and engaged in much political intrigue. Afonso's most important contribution as king was, perhaps, his strengthening of the Portuguese navy, which later became a formidable power in overseas exploration and trade. He is, however, best remembered for ordering whose murder in 1355? Discuss

SIDS Linked to Low Serotonin Levels
A recent study has found that babies who died from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) show lower levels of the brain chemical serotonin than babies who died from other causes. Serotonin regulates a baby's sleep, heart rate, and breathing; and abnormal levels of the neurotransmitter could hamper an infant's breathing. The findings suggest that some babies have an underlying vulnerability to SIDS, and researchers hope there will one day be a test to identify those at risk. Discuss
