Best wishes mate ;) TAXI DRIVER David Clouter - The most amazing thing just happened. My taxi driver, taking me home from Cam FM The Rock Show, told me he was from a town called Svit in Slovakia, which it turns out is just a few miles from you. What's more, he and his whole family listen regularly to Radio Tatras :-)

REAL GONE KIDS Whitney The family of the late singer Whitney Houston will allow a single video camera to record her funeral service, which will allow it be broadcast around the world on the Net. Dory Previn the fragile woman of pop James Whittaker royalty of journalism Anthony Shadid, New York Times reporter, dies in Syria New York Times correspondent Anthony Shadid, who twice won the Pulitzer Prize, has died on assignment in Syria. The 43-year-old is believed to have suffered an asthma attack triggered by an allergic reaction. An American of Lebanese descent, Mr Shadid covered the US invasion of Iraq and its aftermath for the Washington Post newspaper. He won his Pulitzers in 2004 and 2010, and was nominated for his coverage of the Arab uprisings in 2011. Mr Shadid, a fluent Arabic speaker, was one of three NYT journalists who were held for more than a week by the Gaddafi government in Libya during the uprising there in March last year. NYT executive editor, Jill Abramson, said: "Anthony died as he lived - determined to bear witness to the transformation sweeping the Middle East." Anglo Slovak Charity to launch and needs YOUR HELP Freddie Venables explains more UK retail sales rise by 0.9% in January Retail sales rose 0.9% in January compared with December, according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) just days after Moody's, the credit rating agency, has warned that it may cut the credit ratings of 17 banks and financial services firms that it is currently reviewing. Moody's said Morgan Stanley, UBS and Credit Suisse could see their credit ratings cut by up to three notches. It said the banks' existing credit ratings did not reflect the challenges that they were facing in the market. Nine of the banks are based in Europe, including Barclays, HSBC and RBS. The retail sales figure was much stronger than forecast as many economists had expected sales volumes to fall. The report showed particularly strong sales of furniture and sports goods as shoppers were tempted

by steep discounts. It builds on solid December sales when volumes rose by 0.6%. "All sectors are experiencing some growth when you look year-on-year. In particular the household goods sector has risen from where it was previously, it's ended a long run of contraction." said Kate Davies, head of UK retail at the ONS. "The most prominent driver behind this growth comes from the non-store retailing sector [mail order and internet] but also from food stores and clothing stores," she said. But some economists say the latest figures hide deeper problems. "January's strong growth goes against the much more pessimistic picture painted by anecdotal evidence and all of the retail surveys." said Samuel Tombs from Capital Economics. "The rise was partly driven by a strong 4.8% monthly rise in household goods sales, which just seemed to be a bounce back after several months of falls. " he added. "And more generally, with unemployment on an upward trend, credit conditions tightening and real incomes still being squeezed, the underlying conditions for consumers are still tough." The figures from the ONS showed that internet sales now account for about 12% of total sales, up from 9% in January last year. Shop prices are 2.2% higher than a year ago, the slowest rate since November 2009. Did Marc Win? Bailiff industry changes proposed by Ministry of Justice Changes to laws governing bailiffs in England and Wales, such as the creation of a code of conduct, are being proposed by the Ministry of Justice. Justice Minister Jonathan Djanogly told the BBC clarity was needed about what bailiffs were legally allowed to do and how people could report wrongdoing. The proposals would include a ban on the use of force, and detail what items bailiffs not cannot take from homes. Companies, councils and courts use bailiffs to collect money owed to them. However, there have been many complaints and concerns about the practices of a minority within the industry. The government said it fears people do not have enough protection from the rogue practices of aggressive bailiffs. And Mr Djanogly said the government had heard of rogue bailiffs carrying out "very bad behaviour". If we have a code, backed up by statute, where people know where they stand, then we think that a lot of these problems will go away Jonathan Djanogly Justice Minister "I mean knocking on people's doors in the middle of the night, going to people's homes when there are only children in, but a lot of it is to do with the fact that a lot of people don't know what to expect," he said. He added: "If we have a code, backed up by statute, where people know where they stand, then we think that a lot of these problems will go away." The proposals, expected to be unveiled later, include a new regulatory body to oversee the industry, a new complaints process for debtors and clear fees so that people know what bailiffs can charge. Many firms have welcomed the attempt to deal with rogue practices and say the suggestion of a regulatory body with a clear complaints process will help build the reputation of the industry. Bailiffs in England and Wales currently need a court certificate to operate. The law is different In Northern Ireland and Scotland. There are no bailiffs as such, although individuals are appointed by courts to recover debts WILLET OR WON'T IT CAUSE MORE FALKLANDS TROUBLE Science Minister David Willetts has become the latest UK politician to announce a visit to the Falklands. On Wednesday, it emerged that MPs from the Commons defence select committee were planning a

trip to the islands - news which prompted anger in Argentina. A spokesman for Mr Willetts said he would make a "transiting visit" en route to an engagement in Antarctica. Tensions have risen in recent weeks between the UK and Argentina over the sovereignty of the Falklands. April marks the 30th anniversary of the start of the Falklands War. Policy matters Mr Willetts' spokesman said he was making a "long-planned" tour of the British Antarctic Survey in Rothera and would call at the Falklands on the outbound and inbound legs of his journey to pick up connecting flights. He said the Conservative minister did not have any "official" engagements planned during his stopover. But the Times newspaper reported that Mr Willetts would hold talks with British military commanders while on the islands. He is also due to host a dinner with Governor Nigel Haywood and hold discussions on policy matters, including whether the islands' students should have to pay tuition fees, the newspaper said. Mr Willetts also reiterated the position expressed by Prime Minister David Cameron that the Falklands would remain British as long as islanders wanted to do so. "What matters is the right of self-determination of the people in the Falklands," he told the Times.

Blue is the colour, Calcutta in the place The eastern Indian city of Calcutta is to be painted blue, a local minister has said. Government buildings, flyovers, roadside railings, and taxis should be painted a shade of light blue, a minister in the ruling Trinamul Congress government said. Owners of private buildings will be also be requested to paint them in the same colour, the minister said. The capital of West Bengal, Calcutta is home to more than 14 million people. "Our leader [chief minister of West Bengal] Mamata Banerjee has decided that the theme colour of the city will be sky blue because the motto of the new government is 'the sky is the limit'," Urban Development Minister Firhad Hakim told The Indian Express newspaper. "From now on, all government buildings, whenever they are re-painted, will be done in sky blue. The owners of private buildings will also be requested to follow the same colour pattern. The necessary government orders will be issued soon." The colour of the city's famous yellow taxis are going to be changed to light blue and white, while a number of famous landmarks are likely to be repainted too, reports say. 'Cosmetic change' The owners of private buildings will have to pay from their own funds to repaint their premises, the minister said. "Blue is a beautiful colour and is also soothing for the eyes," Calcutta mayor Sobhan Chatterjee said. The announcement has been criticised by opposition parties and sections of the media. A local Congress party spokesman said the government was "preoccupying itself with non-essential issues". The city's Telegraph newspaper said the "notion of a cosmetic change is taken to unprecedented heights of innovation by the idea" of painting Calcutta blue. "Finding the right colour combination is undoubtedly the crucial first step in making a city safer, healthier, cleaner and generally more user-friendly for its inhabitants," the newspaper wrote in an editorial. "It could, with as little doubt, sort out its core problems - chaotic health care, inability to implement pollution control norms, arsenic in the water, archaic sewers and garbage disposal, bad roads, killer buses for public transport, an airport falling apart and beyond dismal, priceless paintings rotting

away in public art galleries, to name a few." Other Indian cities have colour-based themes. The northern Indian city of Jaipur is famously dubbed the Pink City after its terracotta-colour dwellings. In 2006, Aurangabad, a crime-infested city in the state of Bihar, was painted pink in order to uplift, according to authorities, its sagging morale and spirit. Marriage Down The Toilet A newlywed woman in a village in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh has won her struggle to have a toilet at her husband's home. Anita Narre left husband Shivram's home two days after her marriage in May last year because the house had no toilet. She returned eight days later after Shivram, a daily wage worker, built one with savings and aid from villagers. An NGO announced a $10,000 reward for Mrs Narre for her "brave" decision and forcing her husband to build a toilet. More than half-a-billion Indians still lack access to basic sanitation. The problem is acute in rural India and it is the women who suffer most. Shivram said he was not able to build a toilet at home because of lack of money. He admitted that his wife returned home only after he constructed one with his savings and "some support from the village council". "It is not nice for women to go outside to defecate. That's why every home should have a toilet. Those who don't should make sure there is one," Mrs Narre told the BBC. Many people in India do not have access to flush toilets or other latrines. But under new local laws in states including Chhattisgarh, people's representatives are obliged to construct a flush toilet in their own home within a year of being elected. Those who fail to do so face dismissal. The law making toilets mandatory has been introduced in several states as part of the "sanitation for all" drive by the Indian government. The programme aims to eradicate the practice of open defecation, which is common in rural and poor urban areas of India. Special funds are made available for people to construct toilets to promote hygiene and eradicate the practice of faeces collection - or scavenging - which is mainly carried out by low-caste people. High as a ...........Plane A small plane which violated presidential airspace in Los Angeles was found carrying 18kg (40lb) of marijuana. The Cessna plane was intercepted by two F-16 fighter jets after it strayed into restricted airspace around President Barack Obama's helicopter. It was requested to land at Long Beach Airport, officials said, where the marijuana was found. Mr Obama was never in any danger, the Secret Service said. The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) notified pilots that there was a zone 13km (eight miles) wide above Los Angeles that was off limits to all air traffic on Thursday, spokeswoman Brie Sachse said. No disruption Mr Obama was using the White House helicopter, Marine One, to get to the affluent seaside neighbourhood of Corona Del Mar from Los Angeles for a fundraiser, reports said. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad) refused to say how close the Cessna 182 had come to Mr Obama's helicopter but reporters travelling in another helicopter close by saw no sign of disruption or an incident from the air, Reuters news agency said. It quoted US Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan as saying the pilot showed no intention of harming the president when he was interviewed by officials. He was then turned over to local law enforcement.

NEW doubt was cast over a solution to the Greek debt crisis AND WHAT IT MEANS TO EUROPE AND THE US Eurozone ministers were forced to cancel a crunch meeting because Athens had not provided enough information on spending cuts. Finance ministers from single currency countries had been due to meet today to agree a new 109billion (130billion) bail-out for Greece. Instead they will have a telephone conference today and plan to meet next week THE REAL PERVERSION OF UK JUSTICE A nursery worker who filmed himself raping a three-year-old girl has had his sentence reduced because the judge said the ruling might encourage other paedophiles to admit their crimes. The judge also claimed Paul Wilson, 21, deserved credit because his guilty plea had spared his victims parents and a jury from having to watch the sickening footage during a trial. Wilson was jailed for life last year with a minimum tariff of 15 years after he admitted twice raping a child at the nursery where he worked. But the minimum term he must serve was cut by 18 months yesterday by Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge, Britains most senior judge. The ruling was branded disgusting by the grandmother of a little boy who had also attended the Little Stars nursery in Nechells, Birmingham, where Wilson committed his crimes. AND IT'S STUPIDITY! A 78-year-old who was banned from a river in his days as a notorious salmon poacher wanted to take his grandchildren on fishing trips. But when the elderly Stanley Murray headed down to Aberdeen's River Don he was thrown straight into jail - 43 years after the ban was imposed. Now the 1960s troublemaker has overturned his three-month prison sentence, but was warned the court will be without sympathy if he does it again. Mr Murray was sentenced to three months in Aberdeens tough Craiginches Prison after visiting the off-limits stretch of water in September. Unable to pay the costs of challenging the 1968 court order, the grandfather had taken a placard down to Grandhome House to wave at the landowner. But David Paton - the son of John, whose fish Mr Murray stole - was unsympathetic to his cause. Yesterday the former poacher overturned his sentence on appeal after serving just 18 days, but was told he could face two years in prison if he defied the ban again. Mr Murray appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court in October after refusing to abandon his campaign to get access to the eight-mile stretch of river owned by Mr Paton, 76. AND YET ARE SOME OF US JUST TOO HONEST! For Arron Large, it was all in an honest day's work. While cleaning the streets of Southend-on-Sea, the council contractor discovered a Rolex watch in a drain. Yet rather than pocketing the 21,000 Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph, the conscientious Mr Large promptly handed his find in to police.

$9m jewels found in drawer Five years after their disappearance, jewels thought stolen from the wife of the US ambassador to the Netherlands in 2006 have been found in the Hague. Dawn Arnall realised her 7m euro (5.9m; $9.3m) gems were missing months after staying in a Dutch hotel.

Unknown to her, the jewellery had been found and was held for safekeeping by the hotel, AFP reports, before being given to an employee as unclaimed. The employee, assuming the items were costume jewellery, forgot about them. Only after she recently found them in a drawer and took them to a jeweller for valuation did their true worth emerge. They were then handed in to police and have since been returned to the US. Mrs Arnall, whose husband Roland was the US ambassador to the country prior to his death in 2008, had received an insurance payout for her loss. It is not known if the Dutch hotel employee can expect a finder's reward from the insurance company for returning the jewellery. Get off Journalists should work freely The UK Supreme Court has rejected an appeal against the BBC's refusal to publish a report into its coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Five justices unanimously dismissed the appeal by solicitor Steven Sugar. He had asked for the internal Balen Report from 2004 to be disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act. However, the BBC argued that it was exempt from the Act with regard to information it held for the purposes of "journalism, art or literature". Mr Sugar, who died of cancer last year aged 61, had wanted to know whether the report supported his claim that the corporation was biased against Israel. His appeal was taken up by his widow, Fiona Paveley. The report was an internal document assessing the corporation's coverage of the Middle East, which was compiled in 2004 by an editorial adviser, Malcolm Balen. Independent journalism requires honest and open internal debate free from external pressures. This ruling enables us to continue to do that BBC statement The Supreme Court ruled that once it was established that the information sought was held by the BBC to any significant degree for the purposes of journalism it was exempt, even if the information was also held for other purposes. The BBC said in a statement: "We welcome the Supreme Court's judgment, which upholds the rulings of other courts in this case, and will ensure that the BBC is afforded the space to conduct its journalistic activities freely.

Joint Army Exercises use LIVE ammunition, the media went potty? WHY Time to Face The Music Music site RnBXclusive.com has been shut down by the UK's Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca). A takedown notice warned visitors who have used the site to download music they could face up to 10 years imprisonment and an unlimited fine. Soca said music posted on the site was "stolen from the artists" and may have "damaged careers". A man has been arrested for fraud and bailed pending further enquiries, police told the BBC. "Soca targets organised criminal enterprises profiting from the exploitation of the UK public and legitimate businesses," the agency said in a statement. "Much of the music offered for download by the RnBXclusive.com website was illegally obtained from artists, leading the industry to attribute losses of approximately 15m per year to the site's activity." Soca added that the action was part of a wider operation combating illegal uploading of copyrighted material online, with several sites being targeted using "varied techniques".

Some industry observers believe the action is a fresh sign that British authorities are stepping up efforts to stamp out online piracy. However, Loz Kaye, leader of the Pirate Party UK, said he disagreed with the nature of the closure. "The explicit threat to visitors of the site and take down notice is alarming TYPO THIEVES fined Two companies running premium-rate phone competitions on "typosquatted" sites have been fined 100,000. Typosquatters use misspelled versions of the web addresses of well-known brands. Premium-rate phone regulator PhonepayPlus said Amsterdam-based R&D Media Europe and Una Valley BV used typosquatted sites. The regulator said consumers were "misled" and additionally ordered the fined companies to refund callers. PhonepayPlus said the companies had also failed to provide clear information about pricing. Consumers visiting the typosquatted pages, which resembled well-known websites, were invited to take part in competitions. The competition sites had web addresses, similar to those of legitimate brands, like Wikipedia or Twitter. In the competitions, the regulator said, participants were given the impression that entering contact details and answering a few questions were all that would be required to win a prize. However, participants began to receive text messages asking them quiz or survey questions, with each message costing 1.50 to receive and a further 1.50 to answer. PhonepayPlus said one victim was charged 63 after using a site based on YouTube. Brand abuse PhonepayPlus sanctions all premium-rate telephone service providers who operate in the UK market. All providers are obliged to register with the organisation and abide by their code of practice over fair use. Cisco to challenge Microsoft Skype deal at EU court Cisco operates its own video conferencing service, WebEx , which is free for the first two weeks and then you have to buy it. Cisco has said it will challenge Microsoft's $8.5bn (5.4bn) takeover of Skype at the EU's top court. The networking giant said conditions needed to be set to ensure Microsoft would not block other video services. In October, the European Union had ruled the deal would not impede competition. But Cisco has called on the European Commission to introduce open standards similar to those used for mobile phones. "Cisco does not oppose the merger, but believes the European Commission should have placed conditions that would ensure greater standards-based interoperability," Cisco's video conferencing head Martin De Beer wrote in a blog post. European Commission spokesman Antoine Colombani said: "We will defend our decision in court." Open standards Skype has over 650 million users worldwide. Its takeover by Microsoft, announced in May last year, is the software giant's single biggest acquisition. Cisco offers its own video conferencing service called WebEx. Open standards for video services would potentially allow calls to be made between WebEx and Skype, as well as other services like Google Video. Without such a standard, Mr De Beer said Microsoft could control "the future of video communications". "Making a video-to-video call should be as easy as dialling a phone number,'' he argued.

"Today, however, you can't make seamless video calls from one platform to another, much to the frustration of consumers and business users alike." WHY FBI HAD A JOB TRUSTING STEVE The FBI files of Steve Jobs have been released, showing a man who commanded respect as an innovator but was questioned on his honesty and morality. The file was prepared on the Apple founder as he was considered for a presidential appointment in 1991 during George H W Bush's time in office. Documents also revealed that Jobs had been the victim of an extortive bomb threat in 1985. Jobs' files note, too, his conversion to Buddhism and admissions of drug use. The documents were made public on Thursday through freedom of information laws, and posted to the FBI's website. 'Questionable character' "Several individuals questioned Mr Jobs' honesty stating that Mr Jobs will twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals," said a summary of the FBI background check. A former business associate who blamed Jobs because he had not received lucrative stock he thought was due to him characterised the Apple founder as an "honest and trustworthy individual; however, his moral character is questionable". Others told the interviewer that Jobs was difficult to work with, no surprise given details of his volatile temperament that emerged in his biography last year. The unfavourable comments gleaned during the background check did not prevent Jobs being appointed to an unpaid post advising the president on export policy. Jobs died in October after a years-long struggle with cancer. The interviewees' names have been redacted by the FBI, with the exception of Jobs himself. The Apple founder admitted to experimenting with drugs, including LSD, in the 1970s. Another interviewee spoke of Jobs' high-profile reputation within Silicon Valley. Jobs was "not an engineer in the real sense", the source says, but "an innovative force within the technical community". Schools Ban LOL Teachers introduced the policy to encourage their pupils, aged from 11 to 18, to use only standard English inside the school gates. The trust that runs the academy said it wanted children to cut out slang words and phrases such as "hiya" and "cheers" in favour of the more correct "good morning", "goodbye" or "thank you". Abbreviated forms of words have become popular with the rise of text messages and the social networking website Twitter in which the length of a message is restricted. The trust said using standard English would give its 1,100 students, who study in a working class area of Sheffield, a better chance of impressing employers at interviews. Kathy August, deputy chief executive of the United Learning Trust, said: "We want to make sure that our youngsters are not just leaving school with the necessary A to Cs in GCSEs but that they also have a whole range of employability skills. id it was preferable for pupils to say "thank you" instead of the more colloquial "ta", and "goodbye" rather than "see ya". The trust said its policy on slang was part of its "street stops at the gate" ethos. It also asks sixth formers to dress in suits rather than school uniform to encourage professionalism. Mrs August added: "It is about knowing what language is acceptable between friends and what is required in more formal situations. "We want to give each of our students the best start possible; understanding when it is and is not acceptable to use slang or colloquial language is just one part of this." But the MP for the area has raised concerns that the policy might pose a risk to dialects and accents. South Yorkshire MP Angela Smith, who previously taught GCSE English at a secondary school in Dearne Valley, South Yorks, said: "The school, is wrong to ban slang. How will the school police

this? "Who will say what the difference is between slang and dialect? It could completely undermine the confidence of the children at the school. "If someone tells them how to speak they could dig in her heels and do it all the more. I really think they have set themselves a task that is impossible to achieve. Who is going to adjudicate? Who is going to say slang, dialect or accent? And which one is right and which one is wrong? "Most people know when to put on their telephone voice because that is what we are talking about. When people go on the phone or talk to anyone in authority they put on a different voice." Mrs August denied the school was trying to stamp out dialects or accents, and said it was only targeting slang words. "It's not a case of policing or enforcing this policy at Springs Academy, we are simply encouraging it among the students," she added. Last October, a survey found one in four people use "text speak", using the abbreviations "lol" ("laugh out loud") and "soz" ("sorry") in verbal conversations. One in 15 had never used the word "drat" and half of the participants did not understand the word "cad". Swansea University gives unusual toilet guidance on posters Foreign students at Swansea University have been given some unexpected lessons, after the campus officials put up signs showing how to use a toilet. The poster up in the female toilets at Swansea University (Picture: Wales News Service) For those not au fait with Western bathroom customs, the sign features diagrams and bullet points explaining how use a loo, advising students to refrain from standing on the seat and to instead sit on it like they would a chair. The advice does not stop there, with further instructions explaining how to use the sanitary bins, while students have also been asked to leave the cubicles in a sanitary state and avoid throwing toiler paper on the floor. Finally, students are reminded to thoroughly wash their hands after using the toilet, accompanied by an image of two upturned hands under a running tap with the words 'WASH ME' on the palms. According to the university, the signs were erected after a number of toilets around the campus were found in an unsanitary condition. THE UNLUCKIEST MAN IN THE WORLD A man died after falling off a bucket of mayonnaise and stabbing himself in the heart with an electric drill. Araz Saleh, 23, was balancing on the industrial-sized bucket while drilling a hole in a wall when he slipped, accidentally driving the power tool into his chest. An inquest at Oxford Coroner's Court heard the 23-year-old was fixing metal panels to the side of a friend's fast food kiosk when he lost his footing. He told how he tried desperately to stem the blood flow before running to a nearby kebab shop to get help. Coroner Nicholas Gardiner recorded a verdict of accidental death. TRYING TO SAVE HISTORY OF POTTERIES The Royal Academy has lent its weight to calls to stop the Wedgwood Museum's historic pottery collection being sold off to plug a pension deficit. "Once dispersed, the collection could never be put together again," writes its president Christopher Le Brun in a letter undersigned by 18 others. Tracey Emin is among those against the sale of the collection, which includes ceramics, artefacts and archives. Last December a High Court judge ruled it could be sold by administrators. The historic collection's future came under threat when Waterford Wedgwood Potteries collapsed in

2009. Its 130m pension debt was transferred to the Wedgwood Museum Trust, prompting it to go into administration. The museum, in Barlaston, near Stoke-on-Trent, had been separate from the pottery giant for many years and remains open to visitors. But because it was linked to the company by a shared pension fund, it inherited the financial "black hole" it left behind. In his letter, Christopher Le Brun called on the government to offer "advice and help as to how this collection may be saved for the nation". The Wedgwood family, he said, had founded the museum "never believing that, without any fault of their own, the collection might be broken up". Paintings by Joshua Reynolds and George Stubbs form part of the collection, the value of which has been put between 11m to 18m. P-P-PROMISE TO BE FAITHFUL... Staff at the zoo decided to put on a show for visitors by setting up a wedding for a loving penguin couple, named Xiaobai and Xiaoxue. To add to the spectacle, the two Humboldt penguins were carried from their enclosure to the wedding ceremony in a miniature remote-controlled car. Rather than wedding rings for their flippers, the love-up pair were given flowers to put around their necks. Excited visitors to the zoo then gathered to take pictures of the newlyweds. One of the penguin keepers said: 'First of all, Valentine's Day is coming up and we can feel this festival approaching us. 'Our aquarium, looking from the viewpoint of our marine species, decided to stage a wedding for this penguin couple. 'They are one of the few in the animal kingdom that are monogamous, which is similar to us, human beings. So we hope that through this event, everyone will feel love is in the air.'
