The launch of the Royal Air Force Typhoon jets is just one element of a complex defence response to a Russian threat to UK airspace.

It's the type of incident that happens far more frequently, and in far more places than you might imagine. Russia often flies close to, or even into, NATO airspace, and normally it's just considered a bit of a game, and good practice for the NATO pilots who are scrambled.

However, the nature and frequency of the current round of incidents is causing concern. Military analyst, Paul Beaver, explains why some of them are anything but "routine".

In most European countries, Google has up to 90% of the search engine market, and competitors are complaining that Google manipulates search results to keep competitors out.
