Warning on wi-fi health risk to children

Children should not place computers on their laps while they are using wireless internet connections because of potential health risks, according to a leading Government adviser.
Professor Lawrie Challis, who heads the committee on mobile phone safety research, called yesterday for pupils to be monitored amid mounting public concern over emissions from wi-fi networks.He is concerned that few studies have been carried out into the level of exposure in classrooms and believes that if health problems do emerge they are likely to be more serious in children.

Barking: Lad's £8k trial farce

A TEENAGER was taken to court at a cost of £8,000 — for BARKING at two dogs.
JPs found Kyle Little guilty of a public order offence and fined him £50, before a judge saw sense and quashed the conviction.
Last night Kyle, 19, said: “I just couldn’t believe it. This has been a joke all the way through.” The youngster, who earlier had been warned by police in Newcastle for being cheeky, yapped at two barking labradors as he walked past a house.

The Mail wont give up on its bin campaign,its front page this morning claiming

Beware of the cowboy bin police!

An army of wardens will enforce the rigorous rules which go with fortnightly rubbish collections.
The Bin Police will have powers to slap £100 on-the-spot fines on householders who put out rubbish too early or leave their bin lids open.
And they will be set quotas for handing out penalties - raising fears that they will behave like the notorious cowboy car-clamping gangs loathed by motorists.

Sainsbury's denies double standards in 'bag for life' row

Sainsbury's was embroiled in an embarrassing row yesterday after claims that its "green" shopping bag was anything but ethical.
Customers queued before dawn on Wednesday to snap up 20,000 of the carriers with the slogan "I'm not a plastic bag", made by designer Anya Hindmarch - whose handbags retail for as much as £1,175.
The £5 tote was promoted by the supermarket as an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic and became a fashion phenomenon. Within hours they were being sold on eBay for hundreds of pounds.
But yesterday it emerged that the bag was made in China, a country known for appalling labour conditions. And environmentalists described as hypocritical the use of conventional, rather than Fairtrade, cotton.

Iraq militia: we have special unit to target Prince Harry

Prince Harry will be a prime kidnap target for insurgents in Iraq, a commander in the Mahdi army, the Shia militia loyal to the radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, has told the Guardian.
"One of our aims is to capture Harry, we have people inside the British bases to inform us on when he will arrive," claimed Abu Mujtaba, who commands a unit of around 50 men active in the Mahdi army in Basra.
In comments denounced by British defence sources as "blatant propaganda", Abu Mujtaba told the Guardian: "We have a special unit that would work to track him down, with informants inside the bases.
"Not only us, the Mahdi army, that will try to capture him, but every person who hates the British and the Americans will try to get him, all the mujahideens in Iraq, the al-Qaida, the Iranians all will try to get him."

7/7 ‘mastermind’ is seized in Iraq

The al-Qaeda leader who is thought to have devised the plan for the July 7 suicide bombings in London and an array of terrorist plots against Britain has been captured by the Americans.
Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi, a former major in Saddam Hussein’s army, was apprehended as he tried to enter Iraq from Iran and was transferred this week to the “high-value detainee programme” at Guantanamo Bay.
Abd al-Hadi was taken into CIA custody last year, it emerged from US intelligence sources yesterday, in a move which suggests that he was interrogated for months in a “ghost prison” before being transferred to the internment camp in Cuba.
Abd al-Hadi, 45, was regarded as one of al-Qaeda’s most experienced, most intelligent and most ruthless commanders. Senior counter-terrorism sources told The Times that he was the man who, in 2003, identified Britain as the key battleground for exporting al-Qaeda’s holy war to Europe.

7/7 kingpin is seized in Iraq reports the Sun

It was revealed yesterday that the fanatic was captured by US forces while entering Iraq from Iran and was now being held at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
The Iraqi Kurd was one of Osama Bin Laden’s top henchmen.
He is thought to have highlighted Britain as the key battleground for taking the terror group’s holy war to Europe.
Abd al-Hadi is said to have recruited young British Muslims and sent them for training at camps in Pakistan before the bombings on July 7, 2005.

Judges order freeing of Libyan terror suspects says the Independent

The Government's anti-terror legislation has suffered another serious set-back after judges ordered the Home Secretary, John Reid, to free two men who had been designated for deportation to Libya.
A special court in London ruled that ministers could not rely on assurances given by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader, to guarantee the safety of the two terror suspects, known as DD and AS.
In the first test of the diplomatic agreement - known as a "memorandums of understanding" (MoU), Mr Justice Ouseley, the chairman of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac), said there remained a real risk that the two men's human rights would be breached if they were sent back to Libya.
The ruling throws into doubt the legitimacy of other MoUs, which the Government plans to rely on to deport individuals accused of links with terrorism but who are unable to face trial in Britain

Judge lets two Libyan terror suspects back on our streets is the Mail's headline

Two Libyan terror suspects will be freed to walk the streets after the Home Office's attempts to deport them were thrown out by senior judges.
Home Secretary John Reid wanted to send the men home using a controversial memorandum of understanding by which Colonel Gaddafi's government promised not to torture or kill them.
The aim was to overcome objections to their removal on human rights grounds.

The Sun reports that

A TERROR suspect found with a map showing a UK airport flightpath was ordered to be freed yesterday — to protect his human rights.
His alleged accomplice was also given bail after British judges refused to deport the Libyan pair, despite a deal by our Government with their country.
Both the Muslim men are considered a threat to national security, but may now be freed within days. The Government was last night reeling from the decision by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission — and Home Secretary John Reid was “stunned”.

Saudi claims 172 suspects were ready for terror attacks

Saudi authorities announced yesterday the arrest of 172 suspected terrorists linked to al-Qaida, some of them said to have been training as pilots and preparing suicide attacks on oil installations, public figures and military bases in the kingdom and abroad.
General Mansour al-Turki, security spokesman for the interior ministry, said the detainees had reached "an advance stage of readiness and what remained only was to set the zero hour for their attacks. They had the personnel, the money, the arms."

I got it wrong on problem families, admits Blair

Tony Blair makes a startling admission today that his approach to dealing with the most unruly in society has been "misguided" throughout his 10 years in Downing Street.
As he prepares to mark a decade as Prime Minister, he concedes that he got it wrong by presuming that public investment in poor neighbourhoods would rid society of dysfunctional families and their "out of control kids" who "leech into drugs and gangs".
Writing in The Daily Telegraph today, he argues that this approach - while it has brought great benefits - is flawed because it is insufficient and fails to target the real "menaces" in society.
"What I have learned over those 10 years is that the original analysis I had was incomplete and therefore literally misguided, ie, guiding us to the wrong policy conclusion."

The Mirror claims

BLAIR TO QUIT ON MAY 10

TONY Blair will announce he is standing down on May 10, the Mirror has been told.
Senior sources say the Prime Minister has decided on the date after intense discussions with his family, friends and key advisers.
His announcement will trigger a seven-week leadership and deputy leadership campaign.
Mr Blair will stay on until the results are known.

Adding

The PM had long been expected to bow out on May 9, when he will return from Belfast having seen the restoration of self-government in Northern Ireland - one of his greatest achievements.
But the Mirror has learned that he will hang on for one more day so he can say an emotional farewell to ministers at the weekly Thursday Cabinet meeting. He will then confirm what he first revealed in September 2004 - he will not see through a fourth term.

Overheating Britain: April temperatures break all records

The possibility is growing that Britain in 2007 may experience a summer of unheard-of high temperatures, with the thermometer even reaching 40C, or 104F,a level never recorded in history.
The likelihood of such a "forty degree summer" is being underlined by the tumbling over the past year of a whole series of British temperature records, strongly suggesting that the British Isles have begun to experience a period of rapid, not to say alarming, warming. This would be quite outside all historical experience, but entirely consistent with predictions of climate change.
The Met Office's Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research, in a joint forecast with the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia, has already suggested that 2007 will be the hottest year ever recorded globally.

April was the hottest in 350 years reports the front page of the Telegraph

From flowering hawthorn to half-naked holidaymakers, there were already plenty of signs that summer arrived a month early this year.
But yesterday science confirmed what nature and sunbathers already knew - this April has been hot.
Confirming a host of other records, the Met Office said many parts have also had their driest April. Taking the past year as a whole, it has also been the hottest 12-month period since 1659.
"These are very significant records being broken," said a Met Office spokesman. "These figures are consistent with what our experts have been saying - that Britain's weather is growing warmer due to human action."

The Express's front page proclaims

HOTTER THAN MEXICO

The average temperature for the past month has been 11.1 degrees Celsius (51.9 degrees Fahrenheit), beating the previous record of 10.6C (51F) set in 1865.Forecasters are predicting more warm weather to come this weekend with temperatures up to 23C today and up to 22C tomorrow. The best weather will be in southern England.

UN: we have the money and know-how to stop global warming

Global climate change experts will this week lay out a detailed plan to save the planet from the catastrophic effects of rising temperatures. Climate change could be stopped in its tracks using existing technology, but only if politicians do more to force businesses and individuals to take action.
The UN study will conclude that mankind has the knowhow to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 26bn tonnes by 2030 - more than enough to limit the expected temperature rise across the planet to 2-3C.


The Times reports on troubles in Estonia

Russia cries blasphemy as statue to war dead is taken down

Russia threatened to punish Estonia yesterday for the “blasphemous and inhuman” removal of a monument to the Red Army after deadly rioting took over Tallinn, the capital.
The Estonian Government moved the bronze statue of a Soviet soldier in the dead of night after the Baltic state’s worst violence since independence more than 15 years ago. One man died and 57 were hurt, including 12 police, during six hours of clashes on Thursday night that left the streets littered with glass.
Last night police fired rubber bullets and tear gas as the rioters returned to the centre of Tallinn. About 300 people were detained and ten were injured.

Nine months on, World Cup scorers spark German baby boom

German politicians have been trying to improve the nation's flagging birthrate for years. The answer, it seems, lies not in childcare subsidies or school places but in a successfully staged World Cup, with a bit of good weather thrown in.
Nine months after the Uefa World Cup it is German midwives who are having to be on the ball as the country celebrates an unprecedented baby boom, being attributed to the euphoria of last summer, when the team performed well and the nation basked in a successful tournament.
A survey by Die Zeit shows that in some parts the birthrate last month was up by almost 30% on the same period last year. The development is welcome in a country with one of Europe's lowest birthrates at around 1.4 children per woman.
The offspring have been dubbed the Klinsi Generation after the football coach Jürgen Klinsmann, who unexpectedly led the national team to third place.
