Editor's note

Was the New York Times right to publish leaked information about the Manchester bombing? Tom Collins says while UK newspapers would have held off, a US paper can’t be blamed
for publishing what it saw as a matter of legitimate public interest. Instead, focus on the people who leaked the intelligence. The horrific incident has also highlighted modern digital journalists’ habit of using social media to track down eye-witnesses and the families of victims. Glenda Cooper believes journalists’ ethical codes need to be updated.
The bomber is reported to have recently travelled to Libya, and since the attack, his father and one of his brothers have been arrested there. The country has become a key flashpoint in the fight against the so-called Islamic State and other radical militant groups. Natasha Ezrow looks at how the country became so dangerous.
After a turbulent start, the Juno spacecraft has finally settled into a regular orbit around Jupiter. Yesterday NASA reported the first scientific findings from the mission – and they are creating some confusion. Leigh Fletcher explains how the new research is forcing a re-evaluation of the giant planet.
