The new display technology takes the form of an 18-inch OLED screen that can be rolled up like a newspaper. If that sounds strangely familiar, it's because the company offered a sneak peak at the technology as far back as July 2014. However, this represents the first time LG is willing to send its foldable display out into the public domain - even if it is still only at the prototype stage.

A judge in Italy has postponed the hearing of a lawsuit until 2019, arguing that he does not have time for the case in the next three years and will not be enslaved by the judicial system. Two business owners caught up in a €200,000 (£148,000) legal dispute have already been waiting since September 2014 to settle their case at the civil court in Taranto, in the heel of Italy’s boot. Judge Alberto Munno scheduled their next hearing for 18 January 2019.

The amount of debt that the governments of the world’s leading economies will need to refinance in 2016 will be little changed from last year as nations make strides in cutting budget deficits to a third of the highs seen during the financial crisis.
