And Finally...Airline passengers asked not to use plane toilets

An airline is asking passengers to go to the loo at the airport to reduce jet carbon emissions.

All Nippon Airways believes that empty bladders mean a lighter plane and lower fuel usage.

Passengers will be asked at boarding gates to use the toilet in an experiment on 42 flights for a month.

Over a 30-day period the plan could reduce carbon emissions by five tons.

If the trial is effective and well-received by passengers it could be extended to other flights.
