Kellingley Colliery closed yesterday. The last deep mine in Britain began production in 1965. Its closure will complete a carefully managed two-year plan for the UKs deep mines. This has been implemented by UK Coal with financial support from the British government. It follows a long period of difficult trading conditions largely due to low international coal prices.

A Chinese student who is a child of migrants does eye exercises as part of a class at an un-official school on December 18, 2015 in Beijing, China. Schools for children of migrants are often unofficial or unrecognized by the state, and were established as a response to the education void created by the decades-long household registration or hukou system. A person's hukou entitles them to social services in their birthplace, meaning millions of Chinese who have migrated from rural areas to cities have been denied rights to urban public services. Reforms to the hukou system come after heavy criticism that it has aggravated a deep social divide in China. The changes could pave the way for up to 70 million children of migrant workers left behind in villages to join their parents in cities. (Photo by Kevin Frayer/Getty Images)
