Weekend reading:

• China has wiped one of the country’s biggest celebrities from its Internet

• Rises in the cost of UK housing between 1996 and 2014 may have led to 157,000 fewer children being born in that period alone

• The return of living mammoths could be less than a decade away

Have a lovely weekend.
