PM apologises to soldier's mother

Gordon Brown has telephoned the mother of a soldier killed in Afghanistan, after she described a letter of condolence he sent her as "an insult".

Jacqui Janes had described Gordon Brown's letter as a hastily-scrawled insult. Downing Street says Mr Brown told Mrs Janes he intended no offence and that he had the highest regard for her son.
