Taxing decisions

Many of you have shared your concerns about the proposal to reform tax credits. Here is a selection of your comments.
"I can finally have a little sister"
The Chinese government announced on Thursday that they decided to end its one-child policy and allow all couples to have two children. Chinese people both at home and abroad shared their views with BBC News. They have discussed the impact of the decades-old one-child policy.
In her email to the BBC, Rui Chu said she support the one-child policy but she understand it's "a really difficult decision" as China have an ageing population problem but the population is "still quite large."
Ai Yueyou wrote: "I am grateful to the party for liberalising the two-child policy; I can finally have a little sister."
It's not good to TalkTalk
TalkTalk, a phone and broadband provider, said their website was hit by a "significant" cyber-attack last week. Police are investigating the security breach. The company said many customers could be affected.
Present and past customers got in touch with the BBC to share their thoughts.
Puffins now "at risk of extinction"
Puffins "could be extinct within decades", according to the International Council for the Conservation of Nature. The organisation said they have added puffins and turtle doves to its "red list" of endangered birds.
Readers got in touch with us and shared some great pictures of puffins. Here are some of your pictures.
