'Stunning' fossil goes on display

A 47-million-year-old fossil is on display for one day only at London's Natural History Museum.

The lemur-like creature, nicknamed Ida, is claimed to be a "missing link" between today's higher primates - monkeys, apes and humans - and more distant relatives.

But some independent experts are sceptical of the claim.
