BRITAIN ON TERROR ALERT

FIVE ARRESTED AT NUCLEAR PLANT

Police swoop at Sellafield just hours after Bin Laden is killed
By Paul Jeeves and John Twomey

ANTI-TERROR police were questioning five men last night amid fears of an Al Qaeda-inspired plot to attack the Sellafield nuclear plant.
The suspects, in their 20s and believed to be of Bangladeshi origin, were caught filming at the highly sensitive site in Cumbria 250 miles from their homes in London.

Armed police arrested the men on bank holiday Monday only hours after Osama Bin Laden was killed by US special forces in Pakistan. The nuclear plant has been placed on high alert following Al Qaeda threats to unleash a nuclear hellstorm in revenge for the terror chiefs death. Last night police seized a small container of suspicious material at one of the suspects

Shortly afterwards, the five were arrested under the Terrorism Act amid suspicions they were terrorists on a reconnaissance mission. As they were handcuffed and led away, one of the five suspects allegedly claimed they had driven to the plant by mistake having been misdirected by their sat-nav. Yesterday, officers from Scotland Yards counter terrorism command raided four homes in east London where the five suspects have been living. Police seized a small quantity of suspicious material from one of the properties. Cordons were put around the address as explosives officers examined the material, said to be about the size of a lunchbox. The substance was removed for further investigation although early indications are that it is not explosive or poisonous. Last night,

the suspects mobile phones and computer equipment were being minutely examined by police experts. After the arrests, the men were held overnight before being transferred yesterday morning to the custody of Greater Manchester Polices North West Counter Terrorism Unit. Sellafield houses the UKs largest stockpile of plutonium the main component used to make nuclear bombs and is a prime target for terror attacks. Secret information revealed only last week how a terror suspect interrogated at Guantanamo Bay spoke of nuclear revenge if Bin Laden was ever captured or killed by Western forces. Security chiefs fear Al Qaeda sleeper cells throughout Europe will now seek to target nuclear sites in a desperate attempt to gather materials to enable them to build and explode a dirty bomb in the West. Just hours after Bin Ladens death was made public, the Prime Minister spoke of the urgent need for increased vigilance by the British public as Islamic fanatics seek to avenge the assassination of the worlds most wanted man. Yesterday Cumbria Police locked down Sellafields main gate

and set-up a road block for security reasons. Two officers could be seen guarding the entrance to the main gate while armed officers patrolled the sites perimeter. Marked police vehicles, including dog section patrols, could be seen driving on village roads

leading to the site. The plants visitor centre was also closed. A Sellafield spokeswoman said: The five men were stopped outside of the site so they didnt actually get on to the site. Its business as usual on the site today and everything is operating as normal. The sites security response

level remains at heightened which it actually was prior to Sunday in line with Government guidance. Cumbria Constabulary have now closed the main gate for security reasons while the investigation continues. Sellafield is heavily protected by

both private security and officers from the Civil Nuclear Constabulary, some of whom are armed. It is responsible for decommissioning and reprocessing nuclear waste and fuel manufacturing on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. The site has been operational since the 1940s.

Mission accomplished! How

By John Ingham
Defence Editor
DRAMATIC details emerged yesterday of the daring raid that resulted in the death of Osama Bin Laden. US Navy Seals abseiled down ropes from their Black Hawk helicopters on to the roof of the terror leaders fortified compound. During the ensuing 40-minute gun battle they worked their way through two buildings before bursting into an upstairs room where Bin Laden was hiding. His youngest wife, Amal Ahmed al-Sadah, 27, rushed at a Seal and was shot in the leg and knocked unconscious but she survived. Then, as President Obama and his aides watched live footage from a Seals helmet mounted camera, Bin Laden was gunned down in front of his 12-year-old daughter. He was shot in the head and then finished off with a bullet to the chest a so-called double tap to make sure he was dead. One of Bin Ladens adult sons, Khalid, two Al Qaeda couriers and a woman were also killed in the raid as the Seals worked their way up through the three-storey house to Bin Ladens quarters on the second floor of the building in Abbottabad, 60 miles north of Pakistans capital Islamabad. After killing Bin Laden, the Seals, who lost one helicopter in the raid, climbed aboard their remaining helicopters with the terror chiefs bloodsoaked body and escaped as the Pakistani airforce was being scrambled.

One official said: We believe that Osama Bin Laden and his family were living on the second and third floors of the main buildings and two other families resided in the other building and on the first floor of the Bin Laden building. By last Friday, while the rest of the world was gripped by the Royal Wedding, President Obama had enough evidence to order the Seals into action from an airbase in eastern Afghanistan. Even then, according to CIA director Leon Panetta, the US was only 60-80 per cent certain that Bin Laden was in the compound. The raid was delayed for a day until there was more cloud cover and then Black Hawks carried 24 Seals deep into Pakistan using electronic jam

As the gun battle raged, Seals and CIA agents ransacked the compound for data and clues that could help lead them to more Al Qaeda terrorists. A senior Pentagon official said: There were several women and children in the compound. One woman, who was used as a human shield by one of four military-age males, was killed. He was firing behind her. Two women, including one with Osama Bin Laden, were wounded. And the rest were not injured at all. He added: He and some other male combatants on the target appeared to use certainly did use women as shields. White House spokesman Jay Carney last night revealed that Bin Laden was not armed but said he did resist when he was shot. It was previously believed he had brandished a weapon. Yesterday, the Pakistani authorities were holding about 14 women and children found living at the compound, including the daughter who saw Bin Laden killed, They are expected to undergo interrogation to find out where other Al Qaeda leaders might be. The Pakistan authorities say the survivors will be interrogated and probably returned to their countries of origin rather than handed over to the Americans. Bin Laden was tracked down

as a result of luck, persistence and repeated interrogations of Al Qaeda detainees in Guantanamo Bay. They told of an important courier known as Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, who was close to Bin Laden. The CIA was convinced that he could lead them to the worlds most wanted terrorist. Over years of digging, the CIA came up with the couriers real name, Sheikh Abu Ahmed. By then he had gone to ground only to blow his cover by having a phone conversation last summer with a suspect being monitored by US intelligence. From then on he was monitored relentlessly and eventually led the CIA to the compound in Abbottabad. US experts were shocked by the scale of the building, which had 18ft walls topped with barbed wire. There were also 7ft privacy walls on the third floor balconies. One official said: The com-

ming equipment to hide from radar. White House spokesman Mr Carney said the operation to kill or capture Bin Laden had been the most highly classified operation this government has undertaken in many, many years. He added: He successfully hid out of sight, our sight, for a very long time. He is not the only high value target who did that in urban areas. Army General Doug Brown, the former commander of US Special Operations Command in Tampa, Florida, said the operation was the most significant mission since the Seals were formed in 1987 in the wake of the failed attempt in 1980 to rescue the American hostages in Iran. And though the US Government refuses to discuss Special Forces, Rear Admiral Edward Winters, at Naval Special Warfare Command in California, sent an email congratulating his forces but cautioning them to keep their mouths shut. In a warning of battle ahead, he said: Be extremely careful about operational security. The fight is not over. ***slip

By Padraic Flanagan
scenes from inside the mansion where Osama Bin Laden was killed yesterday gave clues to the ordinary family life he had been living for up to six years. Scattered among the rooms ransacked during the raid by US Navy Seals were childrens bikes and cooking pots. Far from being a highly impenetrable site, it emerged last night that children were invited into his compound to play with pet rabbits and his offspring even attended the local school. In revelations which will further cast doubt on the Pakistani authorities claim they did not know he was hiding there, a doctor visited Bin Laden regularly to give him dialysis for a kidney problem. The building was even named Waziris tan Mansion after the tribal area in the Pakistan mountains where Bin Laden holed up in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.

Toys and children in Osamas house of evil

have had a lot of responsibility. Tailor Siraj Ahmad was often asked to make clothes for some of up to nine children believed to have been living in Bin Ladens mansion. He said: Some women would accompany them but I have no idea who they were. Theyd come to order their clothes and theyd pick them up and leave. Some people in Abbottabad yesterday said they believed it would have been impossible for Bin Laden to have stayed in the garrison town without Pakistans intelligence or military agencies being aware. Dr Tariq Maqsood, a GP and professor at the medical university, said: Abbottabad was the most peaceful city of Pakistan and we always thought we were safe as we lived so close to the army base, but this incident has forced many to rethink. What else are we meant to think? That the biggest terrorist in the world was staying in the heart of the country and they were unaware? Until we get answers we will not feel safe. A local police officer claimed Bin Ladens mansion belonged to Arshad Khan, an Afghan national, who bought it five years ago. Mr Khan was said to have dis0appeared. Other reports have linked him to the Pakistani region of Swat or the city of Peshawar.

Bullet
Yesterday signs of the firefight that claimed Bin Ladens life were clearly visible walls pockmarked with bullet holes and scorched, twisted metal outside. Authorities in Pakistan have now taken into care 14 women and children who were found in the 600,000 compound in the military town of Abbottabad. The worlds most-wanted man is thought to have shared the house with two other families. He is believed to have had four wives and up to 25 children. Local tradesmen told how two henchmen did everything in and around the mansion for the man now unmasked as Bin Laden. They fetched Coca-Cola, crisps and ice lollies from a nearby convenience store. Their tasks also included buying the childrens clothes and dealing with car maintenance. Mechanic Wajid Mush-

Bloodstains in a ransacked bedroom were among signs of the fearsome gun battle that left Bin Laden dead
taq, 29, who last saw the pair at his garage 10 days ago, said: They used to come three times a month. Im sure theyre cousins. The last time I saw them they had a dent in their red Suzuki car. Sometimes thered be four or five children aged between five and eight in the back seat. They often kept their car with me while they went to the mosque. They seemed polite and decent and always paid me on time. Only when I found out that Osama Bin Laden had been killed in their house did I make the connection. They were nice guys so in a way I hope theyre safe, wherever they are. If theyre dead, God bless them. Shopkeeper Raja Shuja told how Bin Ladens henchmen regularly visited his store. They seemed very polite but they were always in a hurry, he said. Their car was always shining, not necessarily brand new. They always looked tidy and their clothes were clean and ironed. They never did the weekly grocery shop here but they used to buy litre bottles of Coke, crisps and ice lollies when it was warm. They always paid with fresh 100-rupee notes. Mr Shuja added: I remember they once said they had to go and pay some bills. One was about 33 and the other 36, so they must

Shamefaced Pakistan blames

By Padraic Flanagan
A TOP Pakistani military official yesterday admitted that failures by the countrys intelligence agencies had allowed Osama Bin Laden to live comfortably for six years in his walled compound. Just how the Al Qaeda boss managed to remain hiding in plain sight for so long in a small city filled with a large contingent of Pakistani military forces has sparked widespread suspicion. We have many, many questions about this, White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan said. How did Osama Bin Laden stay at that compound for six years or so and be undetected?

DEATH OF A MONSTER

New Yorks Ground Zero yesterday where memories of victims are still fresh

World is put for backlash

BIN Ladens death sparked increased security at potential terrorist targets worldwide. The US announced it was halting public services at its embassy and consulates in the Pakistan cities of Peshawar, Lahore and Karachi with a high state of alert at all offices elsewhere. Embassies and defence facilities of many nations have been placed on high alert.

Oversight
Pakistans inter-services intelligence agency claimed not to have known the whereabouts of Bin Laden despite him living less than a mile from a military academy, just 60 miles from the capital Islamabad. Yesterday one of Pakistans top military officials admitted the oversight was down to errors within the agency. We had been looking for him in no-go areas, unaware that he was living so close to an installation of ours, said the official at a briefing for journalists in Islamabad. Yes, it is an intelligence failure. But Pakistans president was quick to deny that his countrys

security forces sheltered the terror leader before he was killed. CIA director Leon Panetta revealed that US officials had such strong suspicions about Pakistans security services that they refused to share information because they feared it would be leaked to Bin Laden. It was decided that any effort to work with the Pakistanis

could jeopardise the mission. They might alert the targets, he said. Mr Brennan said Bin Laden seems to have never left his compound which was built in 2005 but lived comfortably and openly, periodically sending sinister messages from there to the world. He had virtually no interaction with others outside of that com-

pound. But yet he seemed to be very active inside the compound, Brennan said. We know he had released videos and audios. We know he was in contact with some senior Al Qaeda officials. The sprawling complex in Abbottabad was at the end of a long dirt road in a city so heavily associated

with the military it was described as the countrys Sandhurst. As Islamabad came under fire across the political world, author Salman Rushdie, himself the target of Islamic extremists for many years, led calls for Pakistan to be declared a terrorist state. In the aftermath of the raid on Abbottabad, all the big questions

Spain boosted security at its embassies. In Italy security was tightened at airports, train stations and foreign embassies. French PM Francois Fillon said outposts in sensitive countries were beefing up security. Japans military facilities were also on guard. In Australia protection was ramped up at diplomatic missions. South Korea, with 340 troops in Afghanistan, tightened its security overseas.

need to be answered by Pakistan, he said. The old flim-flam Who, us? We knew nothing just isnt going to wash, Rushdie added. If it does not provide those answers, perhaps the time has come to declare it a terrorist state and expel it from the community of nations. Few experts believe Pakistans claim to have known nothing of Bin Ladens presence. Mr Brennan said: We are looking right now at how he was able to hold out there for so long, and whether or not there was any type of support system within Pakistan that allowed him to stay there. David Cameron said Pakistan had lots of questions to answer but warned against a flaming great row with a leadership which was committed to tackling terrorism. Addressing MPs he said: The fact that Bin Laden was living in a large house in a populated area suggests he had an extensive support network in Pakistan. We dont currently know the extent of that network so it is right that we ask searching questions about it, and we will. Pakistans president dismissed claims that his country harboured Bin Laden as baseless speculation, while his security officials said they had shared information about the compound with the CIA since 2009.

President Asif Ali Zardari said: Most of the successes achieved by the US and some other friendly countries have been the result of effective intelligence cooperation and extremely useful military support by Pakistan. But later yesterday, Pakistan criticised the raid and warned Washington not to launch similar operations in the future. After admitting it had no part in the mission, the government said: This event of unauthorised unilateral action cannot be taken as a rule.

Police were taking no chances in Islamabad yesterday

OPINION: Page 12 GUANTANAMO: Pages 22&23

The government of Pakistan urther affirms that such an event f shall not serve as a future precedent for any state, including the US. Such actions can sometimes constitute a threat to international peace and security. Cricketer-turned-opposition politician Imran Khan said: For Pakistanis this has been a total disaster. There is a lot of fear. People are worried about the fall-out. The Pakistan Foreign Ministry said family members of Bin Laden living in the compound would be handed over to their countries of origin.

Obama faces grisly dilemma

PRESIDENT Barack Obama was under growing pressure last night to release gruesome photos of Osama Bin Ladens body to silence conspiracy theorists who claim he is still alive. But the Americans fear the pictures could be inflammatory across the Muslim world because the images are so grisly. Bin Laden was killed with a precision shot just above the left eye, which removed part of his skull. He was shot a second time in the chest to make sure that he was dead. Releasing the photos would be in questionable taste. But yesterday the Afghan Taliban who sheltered Bin Laden when they ran the country disputed claims that he is dead. They said Washington had

Defence Editor
not provided acceptable evidence that he had been killed. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement: This news is only coming from one side, from Obamas office, and America has not shown any evidence or proof to support this claim. Our sources close to Osama Bin Laden have not confirmed or denied the news. Until there is news from sources close to Osama Bin Laden it will be too early to provide any reaction. Within hours of the death being announced, fake photos were circulating on the internet. White House spokesman Jay Carney confirmed the

dilemma facing the President. He said the White House is still reviewing whether it will release the image, but the photograph is gruesome. An alternative is to release video of Bin Ladens burial at sea. But only photos showing him dead are likely to silence the doubters reviving memories of the grim photos of Che Guevara after he was shot. Earlier Mr Obamas top counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan said: We want to make sure that were able to do it in a thoughtful manner. We also want to anticipate what the reaction might be on the part of Al Qaeda or others to the release of certain information so that we can take the appropriate steps beforehand.

A TEENAGE thug, who refuses to go to school and is branded Satan by his mother, is having acupuncture therapy paid for by the taxpayer. Sonny Grainger was described by police as a one-boy wave of terror at the age of 12 when he became one of the youngest people in Britain to be given an Asbo. Now, two years later and with his behaviour still out of control, social workers have decided to try acupuncture in a bid to calm him down. Hull City Council yesterday refused to reveal the cost to taxpayers of Graingers treatment. But experts said the average cost in the city was 40 for a 45-minute session.

Astounded
A spokesman for the TaxPayers Alliance said: Ordinary taxpayers will be astounded to learn theyre paying for acupuncture for this tearaway. His parents should be doing more to control him. And a neighbour on the citys Boothferry estate, Harry Turner, 83, said: Its a complete waste of money. Last night, the yobs jobless mother, Nadine West, 40, admitted that the treatment was having little long-term effect. Single Ms West, who has two other children, said: Sonny loves the acupuncture. He is definitely a lot calmer when he walks out after the sessions. But she admitted the benefit

Grainger, whose Asbo for stealing cars and throwing stones expires in June, has not attended a single day at Bridgeview Special School in Hessle, East Yorkshire, even though they have agreed he only has to turn up three days a week. Ms West added: He spends his days hanging out with his friends or playing his computer. He just wont go to school. What more can I do? She added: I honestly believe now it is only a matter of time before he is locked up. I would love it if they could make him attend some kind of boot camp. He might stand a chance. Tracy Harsley, head of Hull City Councils Citysafe department, said: We consider all options available from a range of existing in-house services to determine which will be best suited to peoples individual needs.

BUSINESSMAN Shrien Dewani arranged his wifes murder on honeymoon in South Africa after confessing he needed to find a way out of his marriage, it was alleged yesterday. At the opening of an extradition hearing in London, it was claimed that Mr Dewani, 31, had said he would be disowned by his family if he broke off his engagement to Anni Hindocha. But the hearing was told reports of his alleged homosexuality would make him a target in South Africas jails.

by his family. He went on to say to the witness he needed to find a way out of it. Mr Keith added the witness, who claims he first met Mr Dewani in September 2009, had made a statement and was ready to give evidence. The South African authorities want to extradite the care home owner, from Bristol, to face charges of plotting to murder Anni last November. Mr Dewani, who denies any wrongdoing, is fighting extradition. He is on bail but is being held at a secure mental health unit in Bristol. He is being treated for post traumatic stress disorder and severe depression. His lawyers argue that sending him back to South Africa would be a breach of his human rights. They claim his youthful good looks and allegations of his homosexuality put him at high risk. Clare Montgomery QC, representing Mr Dewani, described prison conditions in the country as shockingly inhumane. On video link, Sasha Gear, of Johannesburgs Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation, said: What I know about Mr Dewani suggests to me he is likely to be very vulnerable to sexual violence because of certain of his characteristics. At the hearing, he sat with his head bowed and mumbled to himself. After the case was outlined, he was bailed to return to the secure mental health unit. Mr Dewani married Swedish-born Anni in a Hindu ceremony in Mumbai, India last October. They were on honey-

Hugo Keith QC, representing the South African authorities, said the unnamed witness, who was interviewed by police, claimed Mr Dewani had told him in April 2010 seven months before Anni, 28, was shot dead in Cape Town that he was engaged. Mr Keith told the hearing at Belmarsh Magistrates Court in Woolwich, south-east London: Dewani told him how he was engaged or about to become engaged and how he had to get married. Dewani said although she was a nice, lovely girl who he liked, he could not break out of the engagement because he would be disowned

Driver Zola Tongo had taken the newlyweds, who were staying in a five-star hotel, to visit Gugulethu township after a night out. Tongo had claimed his car was held up and he and Dewani were ejected before Anni was driven away and killed. But in a plea bargain, the driver who was jailed for 18 years for admitting his role in the murder claimed Mr Dewani offered him 1,375 to arrange the killing. Mr Keith said from the start police were puzzled and suspicious. The hearing continues.

We must still be vigilant over the terrorist threat

sama Bin Ladens death is good news for the world. We should not lose sight of that. The operation that tracked him down and disposed of him was daring, brilliant and contained. FINAL ARTWORK Yet, as all commentators have been quick to point out, the post-Bin Laden landscape is dangerous and unknown. The fallout in the Muslim world and in Al Qaeda strongholds such as Yemen is impossible to predict. Western countries are paradoxically on a higher state of terror alert. For there are many who will seek to continue Osama Bin Ladens evil work. That is why the Prime Minister has warned of an attack by a lone wolf: a radicalised extremist who is prepared to act alone. We know that many young Muslim men in Britain are susceptible to the malign influence of hate preachers and like the so-called shoe bomber Richard Reid will be given all the assistance they need both here and abroad. The unstructured nature of Al Qaeda is its strength. Bin Laden certainly did not oversee operations on a day-to-day basis. He did not need to. Mr Cameron has called for continued vigilance. As far as the terror threat goes it is, regrettably, business as usual for the time being.

Bowing down to Brussels?

ritons will be distinctly underwhelmed by the prospect of the annual Europe Day (May 9), described as a day for popular festivities which bring the citizens and cultures of different countries and regions in personal contact with each other: exchange visits, twin city events, correspondence of all kinds, cultural and festive events illustrating the ties among European peoples. Public buildings will be required to fly the EU flag and face the threat of a fine if they do not and schools are being told to hold special assemblies. While this homage to Brussels promises to be boring, pointless and expensive, the element of coercion is disturbing. The compulsory educational element in our schools sounds suspiciously like an attempt to brainwash our young people. Many believe British children should start their day pledging allegiance to the flag as they do in American schools. But it is the Union Flag they have in mind not the gold-and-blue EU banner.

The insults have been hurled back and forth yet those behind them are supposed to be close friends well, political friends, which I suppose makes a difference. Tomorrows referendum has shown us the worst side of politics, fought without restraint or manners. Yet for all the supposed fury not a single campaigner has knocked on my door, no one has telephoned to canvass me. Ive had a couple of leaflets through the letter box from both sides but thats been it. Except for the insults. Theres another weird thing about the campaign. Almost all the insults have come from one side: the Liberal Democrats. And in particular from Chris Huhne, our Energy Secretary. Hes described the No cam paign as being based on blatant lies and compared ministerial colleague Baroness Warsi to Nazi propaganda minister Josef Goebbels. His chum Lib Dem ON MANOEUVRES? Energy Secretary Chris Huhne president Tim Farron has waded even deeper into the mire, calling Margaret Thatchers government organised wicked ness and the voting system that elected her a corrupt system that predates the empire, predates slavery and which helped sustain both. Phew! Sounds pretty des perate stuff. Nick Clegg has joined in, calling those who oppose change dinosaurs but in truth his interventions have politician no one had heard of a the Lib Dem rank-and-file been pretty standard stuff. few years ago and who lost out hates. He also knows that Heavens, as a Tory supporter I twice in contests for his partys tomorrows local elections are dont mind being called a leadership.

He ought to be a happy man. Hes been plucked from the sidelines and given a major Cabinet job. Not bad for a

nuclear energy option all of which is massively appealing to Lib Dem loyalists. He wont be blamed for the disaster of losing the referendum, thats a prize hes happy to leave to Mr Clegg. No love is lost between them. When Huhne stood against Clegg for the party leadership he dubbed his opponent Calamity Clegg. Clegg in turn made an official complaint against Huhne for indulging in the politics of innuendo and mounting false challenges. Sound familiar? Huhnes target now is George Osborne, whom he accuses of lying for suggesting that AV will cost more than our current system. Hes even threatening to take the issue to court. He claims he has never heard such outrageous untruths in any previous campaign well, not since the last Lib Dem leader ship election perhaps.

This is just another reason to vote No

uch is at stake tomorrow. Labour leader Ed Miliband still has to convince that hes an effective player, with the party split from top to bottom over the referendum. And dont underestimate the huge personal risk David Cameron is taking. If the Yes vote wins the damage to his leadership will be immense. But by far the most powerful fallout will be on the Lib Dems. Tomorrows referendum isnt simply about the way we vote, its a Shakespearean tragedy full of violence and victims, about the tangled web of Lib Dem politics and the con flicting futures of Nick Clegg and Chris Huhne. Extraordinarily Huhne has accused his Tory colleagues of peddling downright lies. With accusations like that will he be in the Cabinet much longer? I doubt it. He seems like a man who is planning to jump and take the Lib Dem grassroots with him. All this for me is yet another reason for voting No. Its a hugely important issue, not one that should be used to pursue personal squabbles. Not for the first time Huhnes ambition has led him to excess. The other day he attacked David Cameron. There is no doubt, he said, that if you behave in a thoroughly reprehensible and underhand manner you are going to lose the respect of people. Lose respect? For once, how very true, Mr Huhne. And I hope youll lose the vote tomorrow too.

Its daft to confuse a joke with sexism

O
h WHAT a darn silly fuss about the Prime Minister telling Angela Eagle to calm down, dear. The phrase is a joke which has entered the language via Michael Winner and should be treated as humour not sexism. I have used the expression myself: to Anton Du Beke when he was gyrating provocatively as we practised a dance, to the TV screen when someone is ranting, to panicking staff when something was going wrong. Sadly there is a culture of grievance which some women foster in the mistaken belief that they are standing up for their rights when all they are doing is convincing the men that they are too obsessed with the essentially trivial to be taken seriously. In short it is a counter-productive approach but sadly de rigueur among the sisterhood. Those who scream sexism upon so little provocation should get a life. I remember how about six months after the Blair Babes arrived in Parliament one came up to me in a corridor and said: Ann, isnt it terrible how the men are so rude to us? My reply was: Yes and isnt it terrible how they are so rude to each other? She hadnt even thought of that. The poor soul had just been roughed up in the Chamber and was convinced it was because she was a woman when it was because she had performed very badly. Every MP whether male or female has off days and it is no good looking for sinister motives in those who respond with derision. That is just the normal cut and thrust of politics. To be fair it wasnt Angela herself who was making the fuss but nor did she disown it. The phrase, she claimed, was not one a modern man would use. Ah! So with the economy down the drain and bombs raining on Libya the issue for that sad rag, tag and bobtail of Labour MPs was how to sound modern. It beggars belief. Women do themselves so few favours in this way. Harriet Harman once argued that women should be on the boards of NHS trusts because they understood about getting double buggies through doors and were sympathetic to womens health issues. Can you imagine men arguing they should be on such boards because they under stand prostate problems? No, they talk about business acumen and we should do the same if we really want to be equal. I hate the culture of grievance but I hate even more the eternal pandering to it. David Cameron cracked a rather good, if not original, joke. Ms Eagle should laugh at her own expense and if she cant she should get out of the Westminster scrum altogether.

THREAT? Gaddafi to a NATO partner. So why on earth are we in Libya? At first I was at ease with the action against Gaddafi because it was to restrain him from mass slaughter of his own people but the aim quickly became his deposition from power, which is not so much mission creep as mission gallop. Perhaps the Western world just makes up the rules as it goes along? Or am I missing something and if so could somebody please explain what?

Forget champers, ILL STICK WITH FIZZY WATER

AMONG the gems edited out of the Piers Morgan Show on Saturday was when he rebuked me for driving a Ford Focus instead of a Ferrari. Then he laughed at me for asking for fizzy water and tissues in my dressing room instead of champagne and chocolates. You are, he told me in respect of both matters a celebrity now. It would not matter if I was at the top of the A list because a Ferrari would be a hopelessly impractical vehicle on Dartmoor and if I quaffed champagne instead of fizzy water before a show the results might be a bit unfortunate. What baffles me is that I am not at all sure he was just joking!

Put common sense before human rights

Bin Laden may be dead but his hideous cause is not and terrorism is likely to be with us for some time with the threat coming from both within and without. We will survive only if we recognise the danger rather than allow ourselves to be paralysed by human rights. Saying we will not tolerate radicalisation of young Muslims is not the same as saying we will not tolerate Muslims and we must resist any temptation to pretend that it is not happening under our noses. We will survive only if we defend our own heritage and respecting other faiths should never be confused with surrendering our own. Persecuting Christian hoteliers while ignoring the steady abuse of our asylum system is not liberal: it is just plain daft and dangerous and it is time to wake up and smell the dynamite.

All dressed to impress

One of the joys of watching the Royal Wedding was seeing those who normally dress informally dolled up to the nines. While it was impossible to ignore Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and Sam Cam was not so much understated as plain under-dressed, the Duchess of Kent and Ken Clarkes wife Gillian looked wonderfully elegant. Neither of these ladies is renowned for concern with fashion, with the Duchess being mistaken for a cleaner in the past and Gillian Clarkes hair determinedly wayward but they outshone many of those looked up to as style icons, including Victoria Beckham, pictured, who appeared to be dressed for a rather smart funeral. The crowd stretching from the Palace all the way down The Mall was mirrored over the weekend by the crowd which stretched from St Peters in Rome similarly into the distance. So, despite the best efforts of atheists and republicans, it would appear neither Christianity nor the monarchy is dead. Hallelujah and God save the Queen and future King.

Sooner we say No the better

WorldMags

Tomorrow the nation will decide whether to change its voting system from one that nearly always delivers a clear result to one that is more likely to produce hung parliaments and coalitions. That means you would never be sure what the parties stood for because the first thing that happens when coalitions are formed is the tearing up of a clear manifesto in favour of deals. Ask any Lib Dem if they expected their ministers to vote for a rise in tuition fees after the manifesto promised to abolish such fees altogether. We are asked to reject one person, one vote in favour of a situation where one persons vote will count once and anothers six times and to embrace a system which only three other countries in the world have two of those being Fiji and Papua New Guinea. David Cameron is right to attack proposals for change. The sooner we say No and put this nonsense behind us, the sooner he can concentrate on the real problems facing Britain.

On Saturday mornings he would knock on the door of a losing punter and hand over the morbid ring of flowers with the words with the compliments of Sammy Parkes. It rarely failed to move the debtor to immediate payment. Post-war backstreet bookmakers were not noted for being retail friendly. Or at least that was until May 1961 when the Betting and Gaming Act came into force and the high street bookie was born. Harry and his kind lost their job. That was when my father, until then a penniless lawyer, began to earn his living applying for licences from magistrates to allow bookies to trade openly on the streets. Fifty years ago this week betting shops were legalised. It was an Act of Parliament that in its own way was as significant to modern society as the publication of Lady Chatterleys Lover that eventually led to the abolition of censorship and the Acts that legalised abortion and homosexuality. The betting Act was a cog in the beginnings of the permissive society. Betting, particularly on racehorses, is a great force for good, said the Labour MP Woodrow Wyatt, later Lord Wyatt, who was party to the Act being passed.

It wasnt so much that his guests included Seventies heart-throb David Soul but the fact that he was appearing with his daughter China Soul, a modern folk singer who is 23 tomorrow. Then David, pictured, delivered the next sobering blow by revealing that hed just had a hip replacement. Perhaps it was caused by all that leaping on and off police cars that some of us fondly recall from his heyday. What was that about Starsky And Crutch...? Only a week ago even his place of birth was being called into question by such heavyweight critics as the comb-over clown Donald Trump. Today Barack Obama basks in public acclaim of the sort that few leaders ever experience, following the welcome rubbing out of Osama Bin Laden. However the President would be well advised not to read too much into all the current praise of him. Winston Churchill was booted out by voters here within weeks of leading Britain to victory in the Second World War and, closer to home for Obama, George Bush Snr won approval ratings of an unprecedented 89 per cent in 1991 after triumphing in the first Gulf War but a year later was defeated by a then little-known upstart called Bill Clinton.

Lib Dem slapped down in Cabinet row over AV

By Martyn Brown
Political Correspondent
TENSIONS over the voting reform referendum boiled over yesterday when David Cameron was involved in a furious bustup with a Liberal Democrat minister. Energy Secretary Chris Huhne confronted the Prime Minister and the Chancellor over the No campaigns claims in leaflets published ahead of tomorrows referendum. Mr Huhne waved No to AV leaflets at the pair at a Cabinet meeting and protested about misinformation in them. But he was slapped down by Chancellor George Osborne, who is understood to have said: This is the Cabinet, not some kind of sub-Jeremy Paxman interview. One Lib Dem source said: He was confronting his colleagues. The discussion was whether it was appropriate to do that in Cabinet. Sometimes a frank clear the air discussion is helpful rather than damaging. Polit ical discussions have happened before in Cabinet. A No10 spokesman said AV was raised in the context of Parliamentary business but whether to scrap the current first-past-the-post voting system and replace it with AV. The No campaign has a lead of 66 per cent to 34 per cent for Yes, according to a ComRes poll for the Independent.The issue has split the coalition. The Conservatives want to keep the current system while the Liberal Democrats back AV. Mr Huhnes intervention came hours after Mr Cameron said the Government remained very cohesive and strong. The final No to AV rally yesterday heard Foreign Sec retary William Hague denounce AV as an un-British, unfair, losers charter which was not good enough for the UK. John Healey, the Labour health spokesman, said he was opposing party leader Ed Miliband and against change because it was not fair and not fit for purpose. Mr Miliband upped the ante last night by claiming that Margaret Thatcher would never have become Prime Minister under AV, saying she never secured the support of a majority of people in this country.

COMMENTARY
Macer hall
Political Editor
SUPPORTERS of the Yes to AV campaign appear to have hoisted the white flag of surrender. With opinion polls suggesting their plans will be overwhelmingly rejected tomorrow, the bitching and backbiting about who messed up has already begun. Nick Clegg blames David Cameron. Ed Miliband blames Nick Clegg. The ridiculous Lord Kinnock blames John Prescott. But there is still a chance of an upset that could change the fabric of our democracy for ever. Millions of voters have yet to make up their minds. And there is a huge risk that a low turn-out might produce a freak outcome. This first national referendum for 36 years is a dangerous moment for Britain. The Yes supporters want the Europeanisation of British politics to replace the oneperson, one-vote principle with a complicated procedure designed to produce footling compromises and deals. The current first-pastthe-post system ensures that failed Governments can be thrown out of office, as the ejection of Gordon Brown showed last year. AV threatens to take that crucial power away from voters. Mercifully, tomorrow we dont have to come up with a second, third or fourth preference. Do Britain a favour: Vote No.

would not be drawn on whether it was considered appropriate. A spokesman for Mr Huhne accused the Tories of furiously briefing about the meeting despite a convention that the proceedings remained private. Defending the Energy Secretarys intervention, he said: If a private meeting with both sides is not an appropriate place to discuss the lies and rather disgraceful behaviour in these leaflets, I do not know what is.

Humphrys told: Go back to school

DAVID Cameron yesterday told John Humphrys to go back to school as he made gaffes on AV when they chatted on Radio 4. Mr Cameron accused Humphrys of staggering ignorance. Under AV, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If someone gets more than half the votes they are elected. If not, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and his or her backers second preferences are counted. If there are several counts before someone gets over 50 per cent, backers of fringe parties knocked out early could have their preferences counted several times. But when Mr Cameron said some peoples votes would be counted more than once, Humphrys said that wasnt true. Mr Cameron told Humphrys: If you vote for a Labour candidate and I vote for a Monster Raving Loony and the Monster Raving Loony comes last, my second preference is then counted. Humphrys replied: So is mine. Mr Cameron told him: No it isnt, it isnt. Mr Cameron added that only Australia, Fiji and Papua New Guinea use AV. Mr Humphrys muttered: As opposed to our system that is used in no other major democracy. Mr Cameron shot back: Try America.

Breakthrough on breast cancer like finding gold

SCIENTISTS who discovered three genetic triggers for breast cancer yesterday compared the breakthrough to finding gold in Trafalgar Square. It could lead to a new generation of drugs to help women diagnosed with the most common form of breast tumour. Researchers have found three genes that may fuel the growth of hormonal breast cancer. The scientists said they were particularly amazed by the

discovery because the genes were sitting next to one of the most studied breast cancer genes. The oestrogen receptor gene has been examined for decades and is known to be the main trigger for hormonal breast cancers. Dr Anita Dunbier, one of the Breakthrough Breast Cancer researchers at the Institute of Cancer Research in London who

led the new study, said: This is a surprising discovery. We found these genes in a place we thought we knew a lot about it is like finding gold in Trafalgar Square. We now have to look further at how these genes work, but the discovery could lead to possible new therapies that will benefit women with breast cancer. The study, published in the online journal Public Library of Science Genetics, analysed the DNA of 104 patients with hormo-

nal breast cancer looking for links to the oestrogen receptor. Three genes C6ORF96, C6ORF97 and C6ORF211 were found that appeared to influence the receptor but operated separately. The news is exciting because although these genes can promote breast cancer, they would not be affected by treatments for the gene that sits next door. In the long-term, this could mean these genes are targets for new breast cancer treatments. One gene was shown to drive the growth of tumours, while another provided an indication of treated cancer not returning.

EU f lag rule: Were poles apart

By Macer Hall Political Editor
EUROCRATS last night faced an angry revolt over attempts to force Britain to celebrate the EUs Europe Day next week. Scores of public buildings around the country are being ordered to y the blue-and-gold European Union ag to mark the occasion next Monday. Ofcials will be expected to ensure the ag remains hoisted for a week, with a swingeing ne from Brussels threatened for those that disobey. Astonishingly, they even have to take a photograph of the ag ying and email it to the European Commission to ensure the regulations are being observed. Schools are also being sent instructions from the European Parliament on how to celebrate Europe Day. Recommendations include assemblies with an EU theme for all pupils and even setting up a European Cafe that only accepts euros. Last night Tory Cabinet Minister Eric Pickles savaged Brussels bureaucrats for ordering his Whitehall ofce to y the EU ag. He said: Not only is it unacceptable to threaten to ne people for not ying a ag, this is unnecessary and pointless red tape. The European Union should be focusing on ensuring that taxpayers are receiving value for money, and clamping down on

Big nes if our public buildings fail to mark Europe Day

SARKOZY CALLS FOR BORDER CONTROLS
THE threat of high unemployment makes it common sense to consider fresh European immigration controls, Nicolas Sarkozy said yesterday. He said an immigration free-for-all in France would put the countrys welfare system at risk. The French president echoed calls by Britains Conservatives for immigration policy to reect economic realities as he pressed for border checks to cope with people eeing violence in North Africa. Mr Sarkozy said in an interview: With the difculty we have providing jobs for our citizens and a 23 per cent unemployment rate for non-EU foreigners, its common sense to ask questions about immigration. A leaked draft of a European Commission proposal being presented today shows it would allow the reintroduction of national border controls only as a last resort.

The European Union ag angry Tory Minister Eric Pickles must y over his Eland House department HQ in London MOST countries have national days which commemorate real historical events, like the storming of the Bastille on July 14 1789 at the beginning of the French revolution. Europe Day, by contrast, commemorates a statement by a government minister, the so-called Schuman Declaration in 1950, which called for the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community. This eminently bureaucratic event therefore perfectly symbolises the EU, a body in which decisions are taken by ofcials and then handed down from on high. The people are expected either gratefully to say Yes or keep quiet. It is bad enough government buildings are forced to y the European ag, and schools to hold special assemblies on the EU. Such charades will never create the sense of unity and pride at true national events, like the Royal Wedding. It is worse that the Schuman Declaration does not even represent the beginning of the post-war construction of Europe. That had occurred a year earlier, on May 5 1949, when the consensual Council of Europe was created under the inuence of Winston Churchill. France was determined to scupper

Advice includes: Hold an assembly on the meaning of Europe Day. Set up a European cafe in school using Euros/European currencies and arrange a lunch.

Britains success as it wanted a supranational body instead. So Britain was kept out of the secret negotiations which led to the Schuman Declaration. But Schuman did give the game away calling the ECSC the rst concrete foundation of a European federation. So it was always clear that political union was the goal.

fraud and corruption in EUfunded projects. Other critics last night rubbished the pointless waste of time and money. Charlotte Linacre, campaign manager at the TaxPayers Alliance pressure group, said: Taxpayers would have more to celebrate if the EU stopped dreaming up ways to splurge cash. These events and rules are pointless backslapping and will land taxpayers with more unnecessary bills. When public spending here is under scrutiny, it is infuriating to see the EU continue to spend oblivious to the need for restraint.

Identity
Brussels today advocates Europe Day as a European symbol together with the EU ag, anthem, motto (United in diversity) and the euro. All these, in the Commissions words, identify the political entity of the EU. The EU has nothing to do with trade or inter-governmental cooperation. Instead it is about creating a European superstate, and a European identity, to replace the existing nationstates we know and love. That is the truth people should recall on May 9.
Learn the national anthems of other EU member states and sing songs of European origin. Write a short story about Europe. Many EU-subsidised public bodies including universities and quangos are also holding events to mark Europe Day. Last night a spokesman for the European Commissions ofce in London said the only ofcial event in the UK would be a free classical music concert in the capital costing around 20,000, marking Hungarys presidency of the EU.

NEW ROLE: Schwarzenegger HE PROMISED hed be back and Arnold Schwarzenegger is delivering. After spending eight years as governor of California hes swapping political ofce for the big screen again. The 63-year-old muscle man will be starring in Cry Macho, a lm about an alcoholic horse breeder whose wife and child have been killed without a robot in sight. This will be Arnies rst major lm since stepping down as governor and it seems the lm industry still has faith in his box-ofce pulling power.

FIREFIGHTERS were last night battling raging infernos across Britains parched forests and moor lands. High winds fuelled the flames on land that has been turned into a tinderbox after long spells of sun and a lack of rain. Fires engulfed the Queens Balmoral estate in north-east Scot land, and swathes of south-east and north-west England, and Northern Ireland. More than 100 firefighters tackled a huge forest blaze half a mile from Broadmoor, the top-security psychiatric hospital in Berkshire, yesterday. Roads were closed and hundreds of people living in the area were told to keep their windows closed because of thick smoke.

Lack of rain sees forest fires sweep the country

Dry spring COULD reduce crop harvest By a third, warn farmers
FARMERS yesterday warned that the unusually dry spring could lead to a 30 per cent drop in the crop harvest. The National Farmers Union said good, sustained rain was needed. But forecasters are not predicting any significant rainfall in the next few weeks. Arable farmer Charles Dingwall said: A plant is young at the moment and trying to establish itself and grow. It needs water to gain in strength. We are very concerned about the yield for this years

harvest. And one rainfall is not enough. Last year we had doubts about the yields and that was vindicated when the harvest was down 30 per cent. We could have a similar situation this year. Mr Dingwall, chairman of the NFUs Berks, Bucks and Oxfordshire branch, said the dry weather could also affect dairy yields through lack of grass. March was the driest in 50 years and April had the least rainfall

The fire is thought to have started at a sawmill in Swinley, near Ascot, last week and travelled underground through peat before emerging in Swinley Forest. Dog walkers and ramblers were warned to keep away as 500 acres of dry woodland went up in flames. Nearby houses were evacuated and schools closed. A fire brigade spokesman said the trees and undergrowth were exceptionally dry, adding: Strong winds have fanned sparks and spread the flames very quickly. Up to 150 firefighters, along with ambulance crews and a police helicopter, have been at the scene. The outbreak of fires comes after the

But there is no sign of any significant rainfall to make up the deficit and June and July look like following suit.

The Met Office also said it was one of the driest Aprils ever, following a March with less than half the normal amount of rain. The effects were evident yesterday as flames engulfed Ogden Moor, near Wainstalls, West Yorks, where towering wind turbines had to be

switched off to avoid fanning the flames. The blaze, which is thought to have been started deliberately, has raged for four days. A fire brigade helicopter flew amid the billowing clouds of smoke.

The wishy-washy liberal opponents were wrong all along Osama Bin Laden would never have been caught without the controversial prison camp and its use of torture
By Stephen Pollard

WorldMags

here are many things we dont know and probably never will about Operation Geronimo which led to Osama Bin Ladens death. But there is one thing we know for certain: if it hadnt been for Guantanamo Bay, the detention centre operated by the US at its naval base in Cuba, the Al Qaeda leader would still be alive. For it was intelligence gathered from inmates at the prison that led directly to the US locating him after 10 years of trying. Leading Al Qaeda terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks and the Richard Reid shoe bombing attempt to blow up a plane over the Atlantic as well as the Bali nightclub bombing in Indonesia, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and other terror plots gave US authorities the name of Bin Ladens courier. It was the first link in the chain which led to locating the worlds most wanted man. Another Al Qaeda leader in Guantanamo, Abu Faraj al-Libbi, confirmed the name. Indeed, secret US files on the Guantanamo detainees, released by WikiLeaks, show that alLibbi had repeated dealings with a Bin Laden courier and it may well be that this was the same man. Al-Libbi had been responsible before his capture for arranging Bin Ladens safe havens so he was a particularly useful prisoner to have taken. It may be no mere coincidence that the compound where Bin Laden was killed was in Abbottabad, the town where al-Libbi lived. Neither Khalid Sheikh Mohammed nor Abu Faraj al-Libbi gave the couriers name away out of a desire to help. They had been worn down by imprisonment and torture. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had been captured on March 1, 2003, and was transferred to Guantanamo in September 2006. After six months he confessed to his terrorist involvement. What we now know is that last year he supplied the couriers name. Why did he start to spill the beans? Well, in just one month he was waterboarded 183 times. It is difficult to imagine that this had no impact. His interrogators are certainly convinced of its use. According to the US Justice Department, the waterboarding of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed led to him giving details of a planned terrorist attack on Los Angeles. Waterboarding involves the suspect being held immobile and then either having water poured over his face or being lowered into water, to recreate the feeling of drowning. It is especially controversial because the US used to maintain that it is not torture. One of President Obamas first acts in office was to outlaw waterboarding on suspects but there is little doubt that it worked. The breaking of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is proof. It is easy to argue that torture, however loosely defined, is always wrong. But this weeks events ought at the very least to lead to a more nuanced discussion. The issue is not, as some insist, black and white. Both of the main Al Qaeda informants who led the US to Bin Laden were tortured. So too have many others been, with positive results that we will probably never know about. But there is an even more important point to be made. Since the creation of Guantanamo Bay in January 2002 it has been held up by Western liberals as an example of all that is wrong with the war on terror.

President Bush was excoriated for it and there have been, idiotically, parallels drawn between Guantanamo and the terrorists, as if the existence of a detention camp made us as bad as Al Qaeda. Yet much of that argument was based on the credulity of many in the West who refuse to believe the evidence about the threat from radical Islam. There have been innocents held at Guantanamo and their detention is wrong but for too many in the West the mere fact that an inmate has protested his innocence has been enough. The thought terrorists might lie seems not to have occurred to them. One British inmate was seized in Afghanistan having spent time (on his own admission) at two terrorist training camps and buying arms. He claimed he was passing through the country and thought it would be interesting to see what was happening. Today he spends his time defending jihad and praising the Taliban and is lauded by the likes of Amnesty International for his behaviour. Yet surely any Muslim spending time at an Islamist terrorist camp must be suspect. As the guidance for US interrogators put it: Travel to Afghanistan for any reason after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, is likely a total fabrication with the true intentions being to support Osama Bin Laden through direct hostilities against the US forces.

uantanamo Bay Detention Camp was established by Bush to hold detainees from the war in Afghanistan and later Iraq. It originally consisted of Camp Delta (which includes Camp Echo), Camp Iguana and Camp X-Ray, the last of which has now been closed. The central controversy is that it was held to be outside US legal jurisdiction, which meant detainees were not entitled to any of the protections of the Geneva Conventions. In 2006 the US Supreme Court ruled that they should receive a basic level of the Geneva Conventions protection. Altogether 775 detainees have been taken to Guantanamo, ranging in age from an 89-year-old Afghan villager who was taken there for interrogation about suspicious phone numbers found in his compound, to a 14-yearold boy, a kidnap victim. About 100 of the detainees were listed at one time as having had depressive or psychotic illnesses. Many went on hunger strike or attempted suicide. The leaked files reveal that US authorities believed that many of the inmates were not dangerous and either innocent or low-level operatives. President Obama promised to close down Guantanamo. Many of his supporters have complained that 172 inmates remain. It doesnt take a genius to work out why he has dragged his heels over its closure. The evidence from this weeks killing of Bin Laden is that Guantanamo has provided a rich seam of intelligence. Among this has been statements from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed saying that if Bin Laden was captured or killed an Al Qaeda cell would cause a nuclear hell storm by detonating a weapon of mass destruction in a secret location in Europe. We must pray that this is one piece of information that will turn out to be wrong. /lmx

IS THIS THE WORLDS BEST FIGHTING FORCE?

The United States Navy SEALs are elite operatives who conduct top secret missions of strategic importance in any environment (their acronym comes from SEa, Air and Land). According to their website, their small highly-trained teams usually work quietly at night and are constantly deployed throughout the world to protect the national interests. Their duties include offensive strikes, rescue missions, counter-terrorism and special reconnaissance. SEAL Team Six (the unit that killed Osama Bin Laden) is the elite within the elite and is concerned purely with counter-terrorism. The history of the SEALs goes back to the Second World War when US troops were forced to invade Japanese territory by sea after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. To avoid attacks and landmines the Navy established Naval Combat Demolition Units which evolved into Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs), the forerunners of the SEALs. They were trained to go ashore, clear the path of hazards and to gather intelligence on enemy locations to guide in landing forces. In 1962 the first SEAL units were formed after President John F Kennedy recognised the need to develop this unconventional warfare. The 30 months of training is punishing and takes place in the desert, the jungle, in extreme hot and cold weather and in urban areas. About four out of five recruits drop out. Those who succeed are qualified in diving, combat swimming, navigation, demolition, weapons and parachuting. Trainees also learn drown proofing (swimming with hands and feet tied) and surf torture or cold water conditioning (surviving in freezing seas). Deaths during training are said to be very rare because of strict Navy policies but the death of one SEAL during dive training was reported last year. To date a US Navy SEAL has never been left behind on a mission or been taken prisoner.

Mummified film star lay dead for year

By Jane Mathews
THE body of a former Playboy centrefold who starred in the film Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman has been found mummified in her home after lying undiscovered for up to a year. The badly decomposed corpse of Yvette Vickers, believed to be 82, was found by a neighbour who noticed that mail in her letterbox was going yellow and had gathered in the doorway of her run-down Californian house. Susan Savage pushed her way though a mountain of unopened fan mail to find the body on the floor in an upstairs room, next to a small heater which was still running. Ms Savage said: She kept to herself, had friends and seemed like a very independent spirit. She still got cards and letter from all over the world requesting photos and still wanting to be her friend. Weve been crying about this. Nobody should be left alone like that.

Affairs
She said that Vickers had not been seen for several months, and it is believed that she could have lain undiscovered for as long as a year. The Los Angeles coroners office are investigating the death, but police said there were no signs of crime. Voluptuous Vickers, who was the daughter of jazz musician Charles Vedder and his wife Iola, was born in Kansas City, Missouri. Her most famous role was as Honey Parker, the mistress of the giant lead characters husband in the 1958 B movie Attack Of The 50 Foot Woman. The following year she appeared in Attack of the Giant Leeches, and in 1959 she was the July Playboy Playmate of the Month. She was married and divorced twice, and was rumoured to have had affairs with Hollywood leading men Lee Marvin and Cary Grant. Vickers had a role in the acclaimed 1963 Paul Newman film Hud, but many of her scenes were cut after Newmans wife Joanne Woodward objected to the on-screen chemistry between the pair. Her acting career

PC Harwood had used his baton

A NEWSPAPER seller who died after a police officer pushed him to the ground was unlawfully killed, an inquest jury ruled yesterday. Jurors said Pc Simon Harwood had acted illegally, recklessly and dangerously when he shoved Ian Tomlinson, 47, to the ground during the G20 protest in London on April 1, 2009. They also ruled that he had used excessive and unreasonable force by using a baton to hit the homeless victim, who was not part of the protest and posed no threat to officers.

He said: It will take into account all the evidence now available, including any new evidence that emerged at the Inquest, the issues left by the coroner to the jury and the conclusions they reached. The evidence of disgraced pathologist Dr Freddy Patel, who claimed that the father-ofnine had died of a heart attack, was also discredited by the jury

His lawyers said: PC Harwood did not intend, or foresee, that his push would cause Mr Tomlinson to fall over, let alone result in injury.

The Director of Public Prosecutions has launched a review into an earlier decision not to prosecute Pc Harwood for manslaughter. But experts last night said the inquest verdict was unlikely to result in a prosecution. During the five-week hearing, the officer was accused by the Tomlinson family lawyer of

which decided he died of internal bleeding caused by the fall. Mr Tomlinson, an alcoholic said to be turning his life around, was caught on camera staggering away from the officers after he was struck. He then collapsed, muttering: They got me. Paul King, Mr Tomlinsons stepson, said the family were hoping manslaughter charges would now be brought against Pc Harwood. He said: After two years, were grateful that the inquest process has made a strong statement about how Ian died. We are grateful to the jury and the coroner and think the finding speaks for itself.

SHE immortalised Bridget Jones on film, but actress Renee Zellweger could not look less like the cuddly singleton now. The Hollywood actress, who piled on weight for the 2001 film and again for the sequel three years later, showed off a toned physique as she walked the red carpet in New York. The 42-year-old stars Carolina Herrera gown was backless with a daring slit which gave maximum exposure to her slender frame and legs. But two singers made up for her lack of curves at the annual Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute Gala Benefit, a tribute to Alexander McQueen, the British designer who committed suicide last year. Beyonce, 29, was in a tight Emilio Pucci gown, which was so snug that the All The Single Ladies singer had to be helped up the stairs by her rapper husband Jay-Z.

And Rihanna, 23, turned heads in a revealing and clinging black lace Stella McCartney dress. Also flying the flag for British designer Stella at the gala on Monday night were Gwyneth Paltrow, 38, in a floor-length column dress, and Madonna, 52, in a glamorous blue gown with a star-spangled train. Actress Demi Moore, 48, ruffled some feathers in her black bird-like gown by Prabal Gurung. Fellow actress Penelope Cruz, 37, was in Oscar de la Renta. Miranda Kerr, 28, accompanied by her actor husband Orlando Bloom, shone in a tutu-style Marchesa dress. The model has regained her knock-out figure after the birth of her son, Flynn, five months ago. Having a rare moment in the limelight was Sarah Burton, who succeeded McQueen and who designed the Duchess of Cambridges acclaimed wedding dress. She wore a floaty white gown of her own creation.

Family massacre suspect is feared to have killed himself

By John Twomey
A SUSPECT wanted over the murders of a university lecturer and his family is believed to have committed suicide. Businessman Anxiang Du, 52, is being hunted by police after Jifeng Ding, his wife and two daughters were found stabbed to death in their home. Du, who was locked in a bitter financial dispute with the Ding family, left a suicide note at his home with the words: Its time to say goodbye. He was last seen on Friday when he left to go to work but never returned. Dus wife revealed yesterday there had been a long-running feud between her husband and the Ding family over a jointly owned herbal remedy business. The bodies of Mr Ding, 46, his wife Helen Chui, 47, and daughters Nancy, 18, and Alice, 12, were found at their home in Wootton, Northampton, on Sunday. The family was last known to be alive on Friday last week when the girls posted messages on Facebook about the Royal Wedding. Detectives Superintendent Glynn Timmins, of Northamptonshire Police, said yesterday: We have a suspect for these murders Anxiang Du who is a business associate of the family. Du left a note in his native Mandarin at his home in Coventry before leaving for his shop in Birmingham. Mr Timmins said: The note appears to be saying goodbye to his family. He is likely to be frightened and desperate and anxious and nervous and I think the prudent thing for people is not to approach him if sighted. His wife, who declined to give her first name, said Du won a court case against the Dings in

Now dont look back in anger

those who recall the past fondly are happier than people who cling to bad memories and regrets, a study found. Boosting happiness can also be achieved by reframing bad times in a better light. Psychologists rated the personality traits of 750 volunteers and found extroverts were more positive about their past and, as a result, happier. People who were moody, neurotic or introverted, in contrast, tended to recall sad memories. The study, in the journal Personality And Individual Differences, says those who are unhappy should spend time recounting good memories or finding something positive in bad experiences. Professor Ryan Howell, of San Francisco State University, said: Personality traits influence how people look at the past, present and future and it is these different perspectives on time which drive a persons happiness.

Up for sale, who fled in

By Mark Reynolds
THE medals of an heroic prisoner who escaped from the notorious Colditz Castle are to be sold at auction for an expected 12,000. The incredible home run of Lieutenant Colonel Ronnie Littledale during the Second World War could have come straight from a work of fiction. He escaped from Colditz by squeezing naked through a tiny gap while a fellow prisoner legless RAF hero Douglas Bader distracted the guards by conducting an orchestra. Lt Col Littledale made the dash for freedom alongside Pat Reid, whose recollections were made into the film The Colditz Story. Lt Col Littledale died later, fighting in Normandy. His Distinguished Service Order group is being auctioned. The Kings Royal Rifle Corps soldier was a persistent escaper who refused to be intimidated and was tortured for his efforts. He was captured during his regiments gallant last stand at Calais in May 1940 and, after a forced march, was incarcerated in Oflag VII C at Laufen in Bavaria. He immediately began digging a tunnel with other inmates but the Germans were tipped off and the tunnel was filled in.

A 2.99 initial download gives 30 days free access to the paper and unlimited live news and video access. After this initial period, there is a monthly cost of 7.99.

Douglas Bader conducted orchestra

ducting an orchestra and, watching the sentry, would pause the music when the route was clear. Littledale, Reid, Stephens and Lt Hank Wardle made it to a cellar where, by stripping naked and bending a bar, they squeezed into the castle moat. They reached Switzerland and were sent to Spain, where they were tortured before being handed to the British, returning home in May 1943. Lt Col Littledale, who was awarded the DSO, was killed at the age of 42 in action in Normandy in 1944. David Erskine-Hill, of Londons Dix Noonan Webb auction house, which is selling the medals on May 18, said: No name evinces a better image of the harsh realities of life as a prisoner of war than Colditz. The opportunity to acquire the DSO awarded to Lt Col Littledale is a very special one. All four escapers made it to Switzerland in doublequick time, the best team effort in Colditzs grim history. Lt Col Littledales medals are being sold by Brigadier Bill Strong, a collector, and his wife.

Betrayed
In March 1941, he was transferred to Stalag XXID, near present-day Poznan in Poland, and managed to escape with two others by hiding in the rubbish dump. They made it to Warsaw where they were put up in an Englishwomans flat. In January 1942 they reached the Bulgarian capital Sofia but were betrayed by local police. Annoyed at his recapture, Littledale promptly escaped from a train and was at large for almost six months. He was recaptured in the Czech capital Prague in May 1942 and endured interrogation by the SS and Gestapo. Moved to Colditz in Germany, he met Lieutenant Commander Billie Stephens, who had been captured in the raid on St Nazaire dry dock in France in March 1942. They broke out of Colditz through the commandants garden, which was floodlit and busy with sentries. Flying ace Douglas Bader, whose legs had been amputated, was con-

Crackdown on Why men get census rebels laundry blues

A TEAM of 100 non-compliance officers able to conduct interviews under caution with householders who refuse to fill in the 2011 census, will go out on to the streets today. Questionnaires were sent to 26 million households in England and Wales to fill out on Census Day, March 27, or soon after more than 90 per cent were returned. Anyone who refuses to complete the form faces criminal prosecution and a fine of up to 1,000. Glen Watson, census director at the Office for National Statistics, said: Where people refuse to complete their form, they can be interviewed under caution, evidence gathered and those details passed to the Crown Prosecution Service. The census enables planners to identify future local needs, including housing, roads and schools. JUST asked your husband do the ironing? Beware he could turn aggressive when he has finished. Men who carry out tasks traditionally associated with women use aggression to restore their masculinity, say psychologists. Researchers asked a group of men to braid hair while other male volunteers braided rope. Afterwards, the hair-braiders overwhelmingly chose to hit a punch-bag over doing a puzzle. And when both sets of men had to hit the punch bag, the hair-braiders hit harder. Similar results were found after men did the laundry. Professor Jennifer Bosson, of the University of South Florida, said: Manhood is a precarious status. When it is threatened, men see aggression as a good way to hold on to it. /lmx

ang on to your pinstripe trousers The Apprentice is back but instead of a 100,000-a-year job with one of Lord Sugars companies this years winner will receive 250,000 with which to start up his or her own company. Instead of a boss Lord Sugar will be their business partner. Rather than selling the focus is now on whether candidates can start a business and run it successfully. Over 12 weeks they will have to come up with ideas for, among other things, a mobile phone application, pet food, beauty products as well as running a restaurant and launching a magazine. In the first episode next Tuesday the would-be apprentices have to turn a profit on 250 worth of fruit and veg. I want to demonstrate that its easier to start your own business than people think, says Lord Sugar. Im sick of the moaning culture that we cant do things. The Apprentice is my way of saying youve got to help yourself. Standing, left to right: ZOE BERESFORD, 26, from Cheshire Project manager for a drinks company. Born in Stoke.

Started working in his fathers fish and chip shop when he was nine. Admires Richard Branson and describes himself as driven, selfmotivated, resilient and an eternal optimist.

ELLIE REED, 33, from Yorkshire Managing director of a recruitment company. Started a business during a recession and built it up to be one of the most successful in its field. Chased a burglar out of her house when she was 17 so she clearly wont take any nonsense. She says: I dont like lazy people... dole dossers that dont want to work. I dont like posh kids who have everything on a plate. LEON DOYLE, 26, from Leeds Fast-food marketing entrepreneur. Born in Harrogate. Former paper boy and lorry driver. Founded an online takeaway ordering site and publishing business. Describes himself as charming, genuine and honest and cites Richard Branson and Apple as inspirational.

Invented the worlds first curved nail file, making the prototype in his kitchen and persuading two leading pharmacy chains to sell it. His idol is Thomas Edison.

Al Qaedas hatred of the West will achieve nothing
Unfortunately, the death of Osama Bin Laden may lead to more innocent people dying in reprisals (Hate cleric threatens new 7/7 as world fears brutal backlash, May 3). For what? Al Qaeda appears to have no agenda except hatred of the US and to a lesser extent the West. It is not advancing the teachings of Islam. On the contrary, its members shun what their leaders have to say while being anxious to get their hands on the almighty dollar and enjoy other benefits the West offers. Lessons of history are never learned. The tyrants and imposers of rule by force have never achieved any lasting benefit or revered legacy. A Allen, Nottingham

Letter of the day

We shouldnt be sending aid to terrorist haven

Far from deploying our taxes to aiding Pakistan, which has been shielding Osama Bin Laden, isnt it time to declare that country a pariah state until it shows some sign of contrition (Why do we give 650m to haven for terrorists? May 3)? Soft-touch Britain cant afford to fund wilful threats to our homeland security and fight terrorism abroad while we struggle to maintain our NHS and guarantee decent pensions. Our politicians should be left in no doubt whatsoever that we want nothing to do with countries, including those in the EU, that are envious and downright antagonistic toward us. Last weeks Royal Wedding celebrations amply illustrated that were still the finest nation in the world. Lets encourage the rest of the world to reach for our standards of enterprise and conduct instead of trying to pull us down to theirs. Richard Smith, By email FURY: Bin Ladens killing led to Pakistan protests

94 years old and STILL retelling old stories...

Thank goodness American special forces finished job

Thank God that Osama Bin Laden has been eliminated. Thank God too that the Americans got there first. Had it been the British, regardless of what the foot soldiers wanted to do, he would have been arrested, brought eventually to trial, then some British judge would most likely have questioned whether his human rights had been breached. Jackie Pass, By email

Give Obama a knighthood for services to mankind

Now that Osama Bin Laden has been killed, the Government should forthwith cease donating any more hard-earned UK taxpayers cash to Pakistan. It beggars belief and common sense that senior Pakistani officials were unaware of the presence of the worlds greatest coward within their midst. A nation that can afford nuclear weapons and harbour such a monster can do without our precious money. President Obama deserves an honorary knighthood for services rendered to mankind. Dominic Shelmerdine, By email

EU, nor is it part of the UK, so where does that leave us? We are part of the British Isles and are smack in the middle of this plan, so I wonder if the EU intends building a bridge over the top of us or a moat around us? Madeline Bates, St Helier, Jersey

Reject AV if you want to stave off national disaster

Further to your editorial (It is vital that the country turns out to say No to AV, May 2), I urge everyone who doesnt want to see Britain changed forever (and certainly for the worse) to vote No in tomorrows referendum. A national Yes vote could well lead to a series of Labour-Lib Dem

coalitions that would take Britain into a new dark age of economic bankruptcy and worsening social problems. Its abundantly clear that most Lib Dems would rather be in a coalition with Labour. One poll has suggested that its only among the under-35s generally that the Yes to AV campaign enjoys a lead, which speaks volumes. Many young people are grossly ignorant of the British constitution and have no idea of the inevitable damage caused by ending the first-past-the-post system, which has been fundamental to our type of democracy. We need strong government in order to develop an enterprise society in Britain, one less dependent on Europe and with

fewer welfare claimants. AV would be a disaster. R McCauley, London N4

Lefties leave me in no doubt which way to turn

If in doubt about which way to vote in tomorrows referendum, just visualise the cacophony of Lefties who support AV and then vote No. Declan Alford Slough, Berks

Low admission price made festival accessible to all

I was impressed by David Robsons article (How the Festival of Britain put a smile on our face, May 2). However, there is no similarity between the 1951 festival and the 2012 Olympics when it comes to cost and value for money. The cost of the festival has been estimated at 200million in todays money, whereas it is feared that the Olympics could cost up to 20billion. The few who can get a ticket for one of the major Olympic events need to be well-heeled or prepared to take out a loan. By contrast eight million attended the festival for low admission prices. One of these was my older brother, then aged 11, who still has vivid memories of what he saw. I wish every success to the South Banks celebration of the festivals 60th anniversary. Bob Bell, Croydon, Surrey

HAVE LEGGINGS PASSED THEIR SELL-BY DATE?

VANESSA Feltz may enjoy wearing her leggings but as a mere man I would like to see them consigned to the dustbin of history (Dont take away our leggings, May 3). Apart from bare midriffs, no other womens fashion item can be so unflattering. I think Vanessa must accept that the writings on the wall for her cherished leggings when experts warn that wearing them causes lazy muscles and leaves legs and stomachs flabby. From my observations, they are clearly right. John Davidson, By email

Lets see off EUs most ridiculous and stupid idea

I read with disbelief your report about the EU wanting to set up a cross-Channel region (EU wants to merge UK with France, May 2). This really is the most ridiculous and stupid idea yet devised by the idiots of the EU. However, maybe some good will come out of this, because even the most fanatical Europhiles will surely view this as an insane idea and perhaps join the ever-increasing band of people who want to leave the madness that is the EU. Come on, David Cameron, for pitys sake give us a referendum on whether the citizens of the UK want to stay in or leave the EU lunatic asylum. Geoff Bolton, Ribchester, Lancs

Yes

I couldnt agree more with Vanessa Feltz. Some items of clothing have become must-haves in the wardrobe of women of every age and leggings have replaced jeans at the top of that essentials list. They are more comfortable, more adaptable to wear with other garments and the clever use of a long shirt or jumper can hide a multitude of fleshly sins. Perhaps its a throwback to our ancestors who squeezed into those terrible whalebone corsets but wearing comfy clothes would appear to be part of a womans inner desire for freedom.

NCE upon a time there were three little pigs, whose names are being kept secret to guard them from possible reprisals. The three little pigs were very peace-loving and just wanted to live quietly in their homes, but when the first little pig built a house of straw, the Big Bad Wolf said he would huff and puff and blow it down. The first little pig took no notice of the threat, but the Big Bad Wolf appeared one day outside the house of straw and he huffed and puffed and blew it down. The little pig ran to the second little pigs home, which was made of wood, and issued a statement condemning the Big Bad Wolf for his unprovoked attack on an innocent pig and the little pigs vowed that such a thing must never be allowed to happen again. Security was tightened, the house was reinforced with more wood and the pigs lived in peace until one day the Big Bad Wolf turned up again. Ill huff and Ill puff and Ill blow your house down, said the Wolf, but the pigs told him to pull the other one, because their house was not made of straw. But the Wolf huffed and puffed and blew their house down, despite the fact that it was made of the best high-grade, allegedly wolf-proof wood. The builders said it wasnt their fault; the insurance company said that under the terms of their policy they werent covered for acts of wolf; and there was a general feeling of outrage that the Big Bad Wolf had once again been able to cause such disruption. Questions began to be asked about where the Wolf had been hiding between the huff-and-puff attacks. Who had been sheltering him? Who had supplied him with huff-and-puff power sufficient to demolish a supposedly wolf-proof wooden house? Again, the level of security alert was raised and the pigs moved into a brick complex and became suspicious of anyone they thought might be a friend of the Wolf. Acting on information that the Wolf was trying to acquire brick-piercing huff-and-puff technology, the pigs laid a trap. They would leave their chimney unguarded, hoping that the Wolf would enter the brick house that way and fall into a cauldron of boiling water and die. And that is exactly what happened. There was great rejoicing throughout Pigdom when the pigs announced their triumph over the Big Bad Wolf, whom they had positively identified through DNA testing of the hairs on his chinnychin-chin. But the little pigs warned against complacency. We must not relax our vigilance, they said. There are other wolves in the forest who will surely be out for revenge. And the League Against Lupine Sports took out a private prosecution against the pigs, and Animal Rights activists reacted with horror to the news that the Wolf had not at least been stunned before being boiled to death, and the local council said there had been complaints about the smell of cooked wolf in the neighbourhood and, anyway, three pigs in one small house amounted to overcrowding contrary to the tenancy agreement. And the three little pigs said: Oh dear, we fear this is getting out of control and may not be The End after all.

Warning over interest charges on store cards

SHOPPERS are being urged to take care when signing up for retailers store card offers as choosing the wrong deal could result in large interest fee charges. Moneysupermarket.com warns that while store cards typically offer discounts or other incentives, they work out expensive if mishandled. According to its calculations, someone making 500 of purchases on a Burton card with an annual percentage rate (APR) of 29.9 per cent would accrue 74 in interest over the year with average monthly repayments of 48. Rates approaching 30 per cent are not uncommon, with both the Homebase and Dorothy Perkins cards offering a rate of 29.9 per cent. Deals on standard credit cards can be far better. The Marks & Spencer card, for example, offers 15 months interest free. Moneysupermarket.com says if a shopper were to spend 500 in a Burton store and use the M&S card instead of Burtons own store card, they could make a saving of 74. Store cards can offer some great introductory deals but buying now and paying later can often prove to be costly, said Kevin Mountford from Moneysupermarket.com. The benefits on offer will often be negated by high interest rates. An interest-free balance transfer card can be a great option for people with existing debt who need flexibility or who have a big purchase coming up and need some time to pay it off.  ESTHER SHAW

Bad service payouts rise

MORE banks and insurance companies are being forced to compensate consumers for bad customer service. Official figures show that 20,019 payouts for distress and inconvenience were ordered by the independent watchdog, the Financial Ombudsman Service, in 2010-11. This was up by more than 1,500 on the previous year. Cases included persistent administrative errors and failure to provide services as promised to customers who felt they had been treated badly. Most awards were for less than 300, although in some cases payments of up to 1,000 have been recorded. Such cases arrive with the independent ombudsman if a business and a customer fail to agree on a dispute. Compensation can be awarded by the ombudsman, even if the customer has not specifically asked for it in addition to settling the dispute. Maisha Frost, who writes the Daily Expresss Crusader

By Holly Thomas

Deputy Personal Finance Editor

consumer-protection column, said: Companies shouldnt be allowed to get away with treating their customers badly. More and more people are standing up for themselves and not standing for companies with poor service. Slight inconvenience to consumers, such as a busy telephone line or an incorrectly spelt name, would not result in compensation being awarded. But people should seek redress for being messed around by any company that has treated them unfairly. Exceptionally, the ombudsman may also award compensation for distress and inconvenience caused by the business in handling the complaint particularly poorly, even if the underlying complaint itself is not upheld. A spokesman for the ombudsman service said: We will not automatically award compensation just because the consumer

has suffered some distress or inconvenience. It has to have been caused by the business. We are unlikely to say that compensation is appropriate where the degree of inconvenience or distress appears to be slight. The Ombudsman recorded one case where a woman who suffered problems with her pension provider was awarded several hundred pounds. Some months after retirement, the woman, who has not been named, was contacted by her pension provider to say that it had been underpaying. During that time, there had been one of the coldest winters on record and the woman had struggled financially when it came to keeping her home warm. There would not have been a problem had her pension provider paid the correct pension. A less common case, where a consumer was awarded more than 1,000, involved a woman who was hounded by her loan provider, which led to a severe deterioration in her mental health.

Independent eye reviews complaints

IF you feel you have been treated unfairly by your bank or any other financial firm, you should first speak directly to the company involved. Complain formerly in writing, detailing as much as possible, including dates and contents of telephone conversations and copies of letters. The firm has eight weeks in which to respond. If you cannot settle any dispute to your satisfaction, you can take your case to the ombudsman which will independently review it. A spokesman for the Financial Ombudsman Service said: Dont be put off if you dont have every single detail of correspondence. We realise not everyone records everything. You can write or talk to us on the phone, explaining whats happened in your own words. l Financial Ombudsman: 0800 023 4567, www. financial-ombudsman. org.uk

Tackling the mortgage

f you are a homeowner, the struggling UK economy does have one silver lining: base rates are set to stay low for longer than most analysts were predicting even a month ago. Figures published last week suggest British GDP barely increased over the past six months and the last thing that consumers and businesses need are more expensive borrowing costs. Expectations were that the Bank of England would hike base rates from their current level of 0.5 per cent as early as tomorrow. But this is thought to have now been postponed to August at the earliest, or even November. With inflation expected to slow later this year, base rates could even be frozen until 2012 and hover at about 1 per cent for several years after that. Thats great news for those homeowners with variable-rate mortgages but its a disaster for savers (see story, right). So if you are buying a property or looking to remortgage your current deal, what should you do now?

Should you sign up to a tracker or a fixed-rate loan? asks Harvey Jones

rates are set to stay low then that is less of a worry. HSBC sits atop the Moneyfacts mortgage best-buy tables with a lifetime tracker charging 2.39 per cent up to 60 per cent loan-to-value (LTV), with no arrangement fee. It also offers a two-year tracker charging 2.79 per cent up to 80 per cent LTV, with a 99 fee. By comparison, a market-leading two-year fix from Yorkshire Building Society costs 3.49 per cent with a 95 booking fee, while its five-year fix costs 4.39 per cent with a 495 fee. Both are available up to 75 per cent LTV. Somebody with a mortgage of 150,000 would pay just 299 interest every month with HSBC, compared with 436 with the two-year fix from Yorkshire and 549 a month with the

HIT HOME: It is vital to have the right mortgage package in place

Good news for borrowers?

When the Bank of England slashed base rates to 0.5 per cent more than two years ago, it saved millions of lucky homeowners hundreds of pounds a month, and now that cash windfall looks set to continue. While the best trackers charge at about 2.5 per cent, market-leading fixed rates charge at the very least a percentage point more, with rates starting at 3.5 per cent. Variable-rate tracker mortgages now look more attractive than fixed rates, explains Jonathan Cornell at mortgage broker First Action Finance. The best trackers offer much lower interest rates than fixes, saving you hundreds of pounds on your initial monthly repayments. The drawback is that when base rates rise so do your monthly repayments, but if

five-year fix. Thats a big saving, but it isnt the only thing you should take into account, Cornell says. Fixed rates give you peace of mind. If you would struggle to cover your mortgage if base rates rose sharply, then it may be wise to pay a bit extra for the security of a fixed rate. However, if you have a financial

safety margin and are happy to gamble on interest rates staying low, you could save money by gambling on a tracker, he says. If you want the security that comes with fixing your mortgage rate, now isnt the time to take out the most popular type of deal, the two-year fix, explains Melanie Bien, director of

independent mortgage broker Priva Finance. If you fix for such a sho period you will need to remortga just when rates are likely to start r ing, which will be expensive. You cou face a massive payment shock. It may be better to take out five-year fixed rate instead. They a more expensive but given that ba

rates are likely to be much higher in five years time, you could ultimately save money. If youre torn between taking out a variable and fixed rate, you could try to get the best of both worlds with a switch-to-fix deal, offered by lenders such as Nationwide, Santander and Woolwich, Bien says. You start off on a variable tracker rate but are free to move onto a fix without penalty once base rates start rising. The drawback is that the fixed rate will cost more if you take it out after interest rates have started rising. If you are tempted by a tracker, give yourself a financial cushion by using the money you save to overpay your mortgage every month. This will shrink your outstanding loan and help you repay it faster, putting you in a much better position when rates do finally rise, Bien says. There are some amazing mortgage deals around now but you need a fat deposit or plenty of equity to get them, says Brian Murphy, head of lending at independent mortgage broker Mortgage Advice Bureau. Coventry Building Society offers a tracker at just 2.49 per cent but only up to 60 per cent LTV. First Direct also offers a two-year

Your Money
ALTHOUGH low base rates aid borrowers, they are a nightmare for savers. Half of all variable-rate savings accounts pay 0.5 per cent or less, says Michelle Slade of Moneyfacts. co.uk. And the longer base the rate is low, the worse it is. If rates look likely to stay low for long, it could boost the case for five-year fixed-rate bonds that pay market-leading rates of 5 per cent. But if you lock money away it can soon look less competitive if rates rise, Slade adds. Think before locking money away, says Andrew Hagger at Moneynet.co.uk. If you are lured by a fixed-rate bond or Isa, be wary of anything longer than two years. Base rates may rise more slowly than thought but theres a good chance of a hike in six to 12 months. Taxpayers should find the best cash Isa, he says. Bank of Cyprus pays a fixed rate of 3.3 per cent for a year, while Santander pays 3.7 per cent fixed for two years. Saffron Building Society pays 4.5 per cent for four years and BM Savings and Coventry Building Society pay 5 per cent over five years. But dont tie up cash you might need. Some wont let you withdraw until maturity, others sting you with big penalties, Hagger says. If you want an instant-access cash Isa, the AA pays 3.35 per cent, the Santander Flexible Isa pays 3.3 per cent and the Barclays Golden Isa 3 pays 3.25 per cent. The AA pays 3.4 per cent for one year and Principality Building Society pays 4 per cent over two. Northern Rock E-Saver is 3.01 per cent on more than 1,000 and the

A good spread of savings should beat the uncertainty

Santander eSaver pays 3 per cent: both are only available online. Returns are down on previous highs but its still worth finding your best deal, says Hagger. Rising prices are the big enemy of savers. There was respite in March as inflation fell to 4 per cent but does that cut the lure of the new variable-rate bonds touting inflation-beating returns? Savers rushed to take the BM Savings Inflation Rate Bond, which pays retail price index plus 0.25 per cent fixed over five years. Yet experts say inflation could drop to 2 per cent next year so savers could regret taking out an inflationlinked bond, says Slade. Given the uncertainty perhaps the best way to save is to spread your money between instant access, fixed-rate and inflationlinked savings.

The drawback is when rates rise so do repayments

tracker at 2.49 per cent with a 999 fee, but only up to 65 per cent LTV. If you need a much higher LTV, you can expect to pay more. HSBC offers one of the best variable-rate deals, a lifetime tracker charging 4.69 per cent up to 90 per cent LTV which carries no arrangement fee. Yorkshire Building Society offers a five-year fixed rate up to 85 per cent LTV, at a competitive 5.39 per cent, with a 95 booking fee. As lenders are continuing to shun any borrower they consider high-risk, you will also need a squeaky-clean credit record to secure a best-buy rate. Expectations of a base-rate hike may have receded lately but this could change quickly, Murphy warns. Just a month ago most of the experts were predicting rates would rise before the summer, so it does leave borrowers scratching their heads. With some great tracker rates now available it is tempting to go for the cheapest you can get. Just make sure that youre not caught out when rates eventually do rise, as they must do at some point. It may well be worth consulting an independent mortgage broker to help guide you and find you the right deal.

Independent advice should pay for itself

Q A
Where is the best place to go to get some free financial advice about pensions? You can get basic information on the different types of pensions on a website operated by the Financial Services Authority at www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk. If you work for a company, your HR department should direct you to the appropriate person to talk to about joining your employers scheme. This is usually a good idea, because employers often make contributions into the scheme on your behalf, increasing your savings. If you are self-employed, your employer doesnt offer a scheme or

Annie Shaw
you dont want to join your employers scheme, it is possible to choose a simple pension savings plan yourself. You can buy direct or via an intermediary. Going via a discount broker such as Cavendish Online will give you the keenest deal. You wont get advice buying in this way but a half-way house is Hargreaves Lansdowns online pension choosing

service, which talks you through how to select a pension plan. If you want advice on how to invest your pension, how to choose from a range of pensions to ensure you get the best one and advice on how much you need to save to make sure you have enough in retirement then see an independent financial adviser. This will cost you money but could save you cash in the long-run. If you need advice on your retirement options, I strongly suggest you see an adviser. Make sure that your adviser is independent. Dont go to one at a bank that claims to be free but isnt really because payment comes out of the product you buy.

My wife and I purchased a house with our daughter in which she is now living and paying the mortgage. She would like to move to a larger property very shortly but does not want to sell the house where she is living, and would like to rent it out. The rent that she would receive would pay her mortgage, all the agent fees and she would hope to have some left over to invest each month. The tenant, I believe, has to pay the council tax, electric, gas, water and telephone. I am not sure if they would be liable for any other bills. Is there anything else that she could claim for in order to make renting worthwhile? I realise that if the mortgage interest rate rose significantly, then the amount that she would have left after paying the agent fees and the increased mortgage amount would be greatly reduced and might not be viable.

Accessing bank details and other personal data in the drama you saw is simply bending the financial truth to make the story work.

You should talk to an accountant, lawyer or financial adviser about how best to arrange your affairs since you have an interest in the property too. Letting is a business, not simply a process of putting an advert in the paper and giving someone the keys and taking their cash. Make sure your daughter is prepared to take on the obligations that come with being a landlord before you go any further. Jonathan Hill, a certified financial planner at solicitors Milford & Dormor in Chard, Somerset, adds: Make sure you consider void periods where there is no tenant and the possibility that the tenant might get behind with the rent. As with any business, where do you see future returns?

In it the heroine, who worked in a credit reference agency, was able to see various bank transactions between people whose names were held by the agency and she also printed off their statements.

IN DEEP: Daniel Thomass company Danz had a turnover of 580,000 last year

Entrepreneur is making waves after taking the plunge. By Maisha Frost

aniel Thomas took a dive into the unknown when he moved into the hot tubs market a couple of years ago. Trying to sell luxury non-essentials like that in the pit of a recession might have sunk others, but not Thomas, a self-taught entrepreneur. Still only 22, his Nottingham-based firm Danz had a 580,000 turnover last year and hopes for 1million this year. It enjoys a reputation for fair value and good service in an industry not especially renowned for putting the customer first. So far he has stuck to the same business model he adopted when he started out at 17 importing mobile phone covers from China and selling them on eBay. I wanted to earn some cash while I was at college, he says. There was demand for mobile phone covers, so I looked at what everyone else was selling them for, undercut them and lowered my margins. I started with 50. At that time eBay was the perfect place, there wasnt the amount of competition there is now. Then that market dropped off and I used the contacts I had made as a springboard to sell projector screens, TV brackets and golf carts. I funded every shipment with the cash I had got from the sales. I worked from home, used my grans garage for storage and sold online. Then I realised even though I was young and had no overheads I needed to trade in products with bigger margins. That was when Thomas decided to switch to hot tubs and spas. The business was going well but selling higher-value items made me realise I needed a long-term plan and my own website, he says. I looked at the hot tub market and I saw the opportunity to shake it up with a business that offered customers bettervalue products and a more reliable and comprehensive service too. Danzs range of tubs, which cost from 2,000 to 5,000, all come with a five-year warranty and Thomas, who employs three people, has also built up a national network of independent engineers. His market of mainly 30 to 60-year-olds spans all income brackets. Thomas expected the recession to dent demand, but so far that has not happened. He says: What we are hearing is some customers are buying hot tubs instead of taking a holiday, as they see them as better value. Its as if even those who have not been materially affected by the recession, have been psychologically. Its not been all plain sailing for Danz. Thomas pays in US dollars and the fall in value has added 30 per cent to his costs. Factory prices have risen too, with a tub that cost 2,300 two years ago now 3,400. Danz is also unable to process credit-card payments because its bank requires 40,000 security before it will set up a merchant trading account. Hot tubs and their customers are regarded as risky, says Thomas, who now thinks he has found a solution to the stumbling blocks preventing Danzs expansion. The owner of another company is willing to fund Danzs production costs up front in return for a small percentage of sales. Thomas explains: We are losing some customers because of longer delivery times: some dont want to put down a 30 per cent deposit or prefer to pay by card. This new partnership will ease our cash flow pressures, enable us to hold a stock of tubs people can buy off the shelf, rent warehouse space to store them and cut waiting times. Running a business and having to take responsibility for your mistakes makes you grow up fast. With my first profits I bought a fancy car, then I had to sell it when the orders dropped off. Now Im much more mature and happy to drive a Vauxhall Vectra. l Danz: 0115 964 8346, www.danz.co.uk

Standard terms and conditions available on request. Please note: Any mortgage products reserved on or before 29 April 2009 will revert to the Base Mortgage Rate (BMR).

However, the BMR is guaranteed to be no more than 2% above the Bank of England base rate, whilst the SMR has no upper limit or cap. If you choose to switch to a new product, it is not possible to switch back to the BMR at a later date.

Friendship t for a king

S
CANNING the ranks of wedding guests at Westminster Abbey last Friday (on television, that is) I wondered how many of the 1,900 celebrants were actually friends of the couple. That caused me to wonder if its really possible for a monarch and a commoner to be friends. Such a relationship lay at the heart of THE KINGS SPEECH: REVEALED (Channel 5), which looked behind the successful lm The Kings Speech to the real story of King George VI and his speech therapist Lionel Logue. Logues grandson Mark was our guide. At the start he admitted that his Australian grandfather hadnt been a presence in his life, having died 13 years before he was born. After the launch of the lm,

televisionexpress

Daily Express Wednesday May 4 2011

Matt Baylis on last nights TV

Mark said he was as likely to think of Geoffrey Rush, the actor who played Logue, as the man in the family photographs. So his televised journey was partly an attempt to reclaim Lionel as a grandfather. When looking for the real story behind the lm legend, theres always a risk that the truth will turn out to be a lot blander than the ction but that wasnt the case here. If anything the Channel

5-revealed version gave us the bonus extras or to put it another way, more to think about than the box-ofce story. The contrast, exploited brilliantly in the lm, between a middle-class native of Adelaide and the last Emperor-King, actually made a lot more sense when Logues grandson looked at it. Coming from what, at the time, was a ercely patriotic colony on the edge of the world, Logue had the same sort of old-fashioned super-Englishness that dened the Royal Family. It might actually have been much easier for a man such as him to become friends with the stammering Prince Bertie than some university-educated, man-ofthe-world Harley Street type. The lm, of course, was brilliant at portraying the tentative warmth

between the two men and happily the documentary only reinforced the idea that the pair truly became mates. In private correspondence, Logue joked with his royal pen pal that Luxembourg was full of very ugly people, while Prince Bertie boasted of how well he was doing thanks to the speech therapy. During the war, when George VI was able to handle radio broadcasts without Logue in the background, his pal wrote in his diary of feeling bereft, like a father whose son no longer needed him. Somehow, hearing Logues words and seeing his letters while considering where he came from, it felt as though we were watching the lm all over again but with a different soundtrack. Its one thing to know it was based on a true story and another

to explore the tale and realise just how heartwarming it was. Although its good to see THE SECRET MILLIONAIRE (C4) out there doing nice things in hard-up communities, I wonder if the format is running out of steam. When billionairess Simrin Choudhrie revealed her true identity to the good souls of Burngreave in Shefeld, there was nary a icker of surprise. Was this because if you live in a benighted inner city community and some well-spoken type turns up with a lm crew in tow and asks for voluntary work, you suspect theyre really a millionaire with a chequebook at the ready? The Secret Millionaire, of course, wouldnt be half the show without the subterfuge but maybe the rich donors need a new cover story.

The third instalment in the primary trilogy of American Pie movies, the title of this one is self-explanatory. We catch up with East Great Falls High gang as they prepare for Jim Apple Pie Levensteins marriage to Michelle This one time, at Band Camp Flaherty. After an altercation in a Chicago gay bar, Jim is forced into inviting the rambunctious Stifler to his wedding. He soon comes to regret the decision as Stifler plans a bachelor party for the night Jim is due to meet his future in-laws, and thats only the start of his problems! Typical American Pie fare, with the usual laughs from Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott and Eugene Levy. Andy dean

Sailing past the exquisite Doges Palace, St Marks Square and the rest of the terracotta-tiled skyline is enough to send a tingle down anybodys spine. Time spent wandering around the picturesque alleys and squares should seal the deal.

Theres a day at Kotor in Montenegro, once ruled by Venetian merchants. Among narrow streets and squares is the beautiful, 12th-century Cathedral of St Tryphon. Back on board you can have a meal at Oriana Rhodes with a menu by British chef Gary Rhodes or in the Terrace Grill, an al fresco restaurant where you can dine under the stars. A 16-night Mediterranean cruise on Oriana from 1,885pp (two sharing), full board. Departs Southampton, September 11, 2011.

albeit more slowly than hoped for. The silver lining is that savage rises in raw-material prices are also slowing in pace. It all points to interest rates being kept on hold for some time, though the three-year freeze suggested by Roger Bootle seems extreme. Given his track record though, his views have to be heard with respect. A STUDY out today says that a quarter of rst-time house buyers think it will take them ve years to save enough for a deposit. Santander bank also reveals the average person thinks it will take 40 months to get the funds together. The report says that saving for a deposit is not easy, especially in the current climate. Surely, its always been the same? People who bought in the Sixties tell horror stories of trying to rustle up a down-payment on a house that cost 1,000. Substitute 30,000 for those who bought in the Eighties. Prices appear staggeringly high today but they always have done to HE pound suffered a wobble yesterday after gures showed a slowdown in manufacturing. Certainly the numbers in the Markit/CIPS survey(see below) were disappointing but the nancial markets over-reacted. True, it was the weakest performance in seven months but it followed exceptionally strong gures at the start of the year. Reading too much into one months results is always dangerous and it may be the April survey turns out to be a blip. Even if it is an accurate reection of trends, manufacturing is still growing,

rst-time buyers. The only time it was easy was when lenders were offering 100 per cent mortgages and what a disaster they turned out to be. Saving, however hard, has got to be better than ridiculously loose lending. THORNTONS blamed hot weather for poor Easter sales, yet its supermarket customers sold 25 per cent more of its chocolates. Improving the performance of its shops will be the top priority of new chief Jonathan Hart as he conducts his strategic review of the business. Things have got sticky on the high street. He needs to sort it out.

Pound slumps on growth fears and stagnant rates

THE pound yesterday slumped to its lowest level in over a year against the euro on fears over growth and a forecast that interest rates will not rise until 2014. Sterling tumbled more than 1 per cent against the single currency, which broke the 90p barrier, and slid sharply against the dollar after figures showed manufacturing growth had unexpectedly slowed to its weakest level in seven months. The widely-watched Markit/CIPS PMI survey was worse than the gloomiest of City predictions, with manufacturers blaming weak UK demand for slowing growth. A Confederation of British Industry survey found retail enjoyed solid growth in April but shopkeepers were gloomy about the future. Analysts warned sterling was poised to slide further with the Bank of England now expected to keep interest rates at 0.5 per cent for much longer than predicted, while the European Central Bank has already started to lift rates for the eurozone. Investec economist Philip Shaw said the manufacturing survey added further grist to the mill to the argument to keep interest rates on hold. The Banks Monetary Policy Committee is expected to leave rates unchanged when announcing the results of its deliberations tomorrow. Capital Economics

Deputy City Editor
Roger Bootle, one of the UKs most respected economists, said rates could remain on hold until 2014. He expected inflationary pressures from rising oil and commodity prices to ease, lessening the pressure from workers to demand extravagant wage increases. This was despite households being expected to suffer their biggest squeeze on incomes since the 19th century. Pay growth is unlikely to catch up with inflation any time soon, said Bootle. Inflation is heading towards and possibly above 5 per cent. Real earnings are all but certain to fall for the fourth successive year in a row, the rst time that this has occurred since the 1870s. Allied to tax squeezes and rising public sector unemployment, Bootle reckoned disposable income will fall 2 per cent this year, or an average of 780 a household. However, he said the key drivers of ination were oil and commodity prices, factors beyond the Banks control. He believed growth in these is set to slow, while the one-off shock from the VAT increase will have worked its way through for next year. Bootle believes incomes in real terms will start rising again by 2013, with ination below the 2 per cent target by the end of 2012.

WILLIAM HILL is buying Brandywine Bookmaking for about 8.6million as part of its plans to expand in the US sports betting market. The group will also provide an 848,000 loan as part of the deal for Brandywine, which operates in Nevada and Delaware and had revenues of 4.7million in 2010. It comes nearly a month after William Hill moved into US sports betting by buying the American Wagering and Cal Neva businesses

for 23.6million, to cash in on major events such as this weekends Kentucky Derby. Brandywine employs about 90 people and runs 16 outlets in Nevada under the Luckys brand. It is also involved in the Delaware State Sports Lottery. Hill chief Ralph Topping said: This offers not only a well regarded management team and Nevada operation but also an exclusive land-based sports betting relationship with the Delaware state government.

Petchey eyes Lookers

A CONSORTIUM led by veteran investor Jack Petchey yesterday confirmed it was behind a takeover approach for car dealership group Lookers. In a statement, Petchey, who already owns 17.3 per cent of the company, said he had teamed up with property investors Brett Palos and Moor Park Capital Investors regarding a potential all-cash offer. Lookers said last week it had received a highly speculative approach from an unnamed bidder. The shares then rose 10 per cent but yesterday stayed flat at 65p, valuing the company at 252.2million. The consortium said it had requested information in order to confirm the cash offer but the board of Lookers has to date declined to provide this. It is unusual for Petcheys investment vehicle Treck to launch a takeover bid. Sources say he is frustrated at the way the company is run. Lookers other major shareholder, with a 22 per cent stake, is motor entrepreneur Tony Bramall. Arden analyst Nick Bubb said: Lookers has valuable freehold property interests, as well as valuable car parts wholesale assets but unlocking that value is the name of the game.

BP ned $25m for Alaska spill

OIL giant BP has agreed to pay a $25million (15.1million) civil ne plus interest to settle a US probe into a 2006 pipeline oil spill in Alaska, according to court papers. BP agreed the settlement after federal authorities launched an investigation into the 267,000-gallon spill at Prudhoe Bay, the largest ever on Alaskas North Slope region. The group said it had undertaken a $500million correction programme including replacing the Prudhoe Bay oil transit lines and improving leak detection, operation and maintenance on the pipelines.

Surge for Aberdeen

EMERGING markets drove a 54 per cent jump in rst-half prots for investment rm Aberdeen Asset Management. The company yesterday said pre-tax profits had risen from 92.6million to 142.8million for the six months to March as its emerging market funds delivered good returns and attracted strong interest . Assets under management surged from 171billion to 181billion. The rise came despite clients withdrawing a net 700 million in funds as investors pulled money out of fixed income, property and money market products to seek riskier asset classes. The shares rose 1p to 230p. Chief executive Martin Gilbert hailed very strong results. Demand for Aberdeens established Asia Pacific, emerging market and global equities products has remained strong. Macro events in recent months have generated significant volatility in global markets and this looks set to continue. He added customers pulling money out of fixed income had seen a dramatic slowdown towards the end of the period. Aberdeen also raised the dividend by 19 per cent to 3.8p a share.

Hot weather melts Thorntons prots

By Philip Waller
PROFITS are set to turn sour at Thorntons after the luxury confectioner said hot weather put people off buying its chocolates at Easter, sending its shares tumbling. The company issued its second profit warning in three months, predicting annual prots of between 3million and 4.5million rather than the 6.1million it made last year. The shares fell 10p to 70p. Thorntons said the sunny Easter weather and tough high street trading caused sales to fall about 23 per cent in Easter week against a year ago, but it partly offset that by selling ice cream in more shops. Chocolates sold through supermarkets rose more than a quarter to 27.7million, while online sales also increased. It also benefited from cost-cutting and promotions that helped it end Easter with less stock than last year. New chief executive Jonathan Hart said weak trading conditions were likely to continue and a review

THE boss of the security scanner business of technology rm Smiths Group is quitting after trading at the division failed to live up to expectations. Smiths said the head of the detection arm, Stephen Phipson, would step down immediately after delays to orders hit trading in the second half of the year. Group chief executive Philip Bowman would oversee the division while it sought a successor to Phipson. Smiths said first half sales trends in detection were likely to continue in the second six months and prot margins may be affected. The shares fell 76p to 1256p. It agged falling detection sales last November due to a delay in large orders from government agencies as defence spending budgets faced pressure. In March, it said rst half sales at Smiths Detection dropped nearly a tenth to 248million, against a 7 per cent rise in total company sales. The unit, which makes X-ray scanners used at airports, accounted for 18 per cent of total sales. Smiths kept the outlook for its other divisions, medical, John Crane, Interconnect and Flex-Tek, unchanged.

MARKET REPORT
ITV was a turn-off for investors yesterday as the outlook picture for advertising revenue darkened. The broadcasters shares fell 1p to 74p as Bank of America Merrill Lynch pointed to a sharp downturn in advertising growth into the second quarter following a stronger-than-expected rst three FTSE 100 months. The broker pointed to 6082.88 spending by the retail, auto and industries the latter + drinks facing tough comparisons with last years football World Cup 12.98 as areas of weakness as it cut its annual earnings forecast by 6.4 per cent. Merrill added: The slowdown is likely to shift focus back to longer term structural pressures with upside increasingly contingent on managements ability to deliver on its turnaround strategy. A slowdown in Chinas manufacturing growth in April dented metals prices, leaving mining companies among the top ights big casualties. Copper producers Antofagasta and Kazakhmys softened 35p to 1332p and 47p to 1332p, while Xstrata and BHP Billiton were down 36p to 1485p and 37p to 2487p.

NOT LOOKING GOOD: Armitage has little chance to impress

Even if the action, five minutes from time when Saints won at London Irish 11 days ago, was not malicious, it was reckless given the baggage of the full-backs recent eight-week ban for abusing a drug-tester. In fact this is a merciful sentence, influenced by Armitages guilty plea though deliberately designed to put him out of all that remains of the season by being divided between May 4-10 and May 24-June 6. First, this latest ban puts him out of the Exiles last-gasp attempt to hang on to Heineken Cup qualification at Leicester on Saturday. More important is the reaction he gets from England manager Martin Johnson, for whom he is also unavailable. A World Cup long list of 50 is to be announced next month, to be reduced to the final 30 in August. And if the patient Johnson believes Armitage has become a liability, exclusion would be the only course. Armitage lost his Test place to Ben Foden 14 months ago and shows no sign of getting it back. The turn-the-air-blue tirade against the tester which prompted the previous suspension reflected shockingly on Armitage and cost him any involvement in the 2011 Six Nations. Since his return seven weeks ago, he had been a picture of contrition. He will also be excluded from Englands non-Test against the Barbarians at the end of May. The August World Cup warm-up games would be all that are left for him. Armitage, 27, was reported last week by RFU citing officer Alan Mansell and was dealt with in London yesterday by an RFU panel chaired by Jeremy Summers. This offence was assessed as

McClennans nod to Wolves

leaders Warrington have four of their overseas stars in the nucleus of the Exiles squad to play England next month. Exiles coach Brian McClennan has named 18 of his 22-man party for the International Origin match at Headingley on June 10. The Wolves have the biggest representation Louis Anderson, Matt King, Brett Hodgson and Joel Monaghan with champions Wigan and Huddersfield providing three each. Ex-Leeds boss ***

being at the low end of the scale of seriousness and as such led to an entry-point suspension of two weeks, said Summers. The players record, and the fact that he had recently returned from a ban, was an aggravating feature. Danny Cipriani has been banned by Melbourne Rebels for breaching a team curfew. That puts him out of Fridays game against Queensland while his endeavour to generate interest in Europe after a wildly fluctuating first season in Australia has, in effect, been rebuffed by Wasps. As it was said when he left that Wasps were the only club ex-England fly-half Cipriani would consider rejoining, this could be seen as an intensely personal rejection. Wasps are losing Dave Walder to Japan but have acquired two fly-halves for next season in Nicky Robinson from Gloucester and Ryan Davis from Exeter. Instead, Toulon are pondering a move for Cipriani. There are reports that he is going everywhere but the moon at the moment, said Wasps interim rugby director Leon Holden yesterday. But weve completed our roster. Ciprianis spokesman said last night: Danny deeply regrets his behaviour and is as disappointed in himself as anyone. These are not the headlines he wants to attract. He wants to draw a line under this and get on with what he does best, which is play rugby. The saga of Andy Powells future with Wasps after a bar brawl may reach a conclusion today. The protracted process is explained by Holden as the clubs way of avoiding any Gavin Henson-type misunderstanding. Powells Welsh compatriot was last week reportedly sacked by Toulon after getting in a fracas with teammates, only for his internal ban to be lifted on Monday. q FOUR months after Rob Moffat was sacked, former Ireland scrum-half and Connacht coach Michael Bradley has been appointed coach of Edinburgh on a two-year contract.

He travelled over on Monday and took it well, said George. His work has been good and hes fresh and well. He has been on the go since winning the Charlie Hall in October, but he isnt looking like a horse who has had a long season. All the signs are good. Kauto Star has been an unbelievable horse, and been brilliantly trained down the years, but if there is a chink in

his armour hopefully well be the one to take advantage. Donald McCain is hoping Overturn can take advantage of his inside draw in the totesport.com Chester Cup. Eddie Aherns mount was third in the Scottish Champion Hurdle last month and McCain reports him to be in fine heart. Hes very well, and the ground is good for him, too, he said. He seems really well after Ayr. He has come out of it absolutely fine and I was half tempted to go to Sandown with him the other week, but we decided to sit tight and concentrate on this race. The draw is perfect for him as long as he gets

out, which I expect him to, and theres not many courses where the draw is as crucial as it is at Chester. Its a hot race but we have got a decent horse on a nice weight with a favourable draw so after that we will see.

COMPUTERMAN: Overturn won the Galway Hurdle and Northumberland Plate last summer. He had top weight in the Scottish Champion Hurdle when third to Sanctuaire and Bygones Of Brid last month. Red Cadeaux was 2nd to Theola over this trip at Newmarket in a Cesarewitch trial so has the stamina required. Dirar won the Ebor last August so is used to big fields and a fast pace. Darley Sun finished 11l behind Dirar at York but is 12lb better off, hence he comes out 1lb ahead on my ratings. Mount Athos beat Dreamy Gent 2l at Dundalk in his prep race. A winner over 1m6f for John Hills last year, this is the first time he has raced beyond 2m. Mamlook and Tastahil fought out the finish 12 months ago, with Halla San three-quarters of a length back in third. Tastahil was drawn out wide in trap 16 that day but has trap 3 today, so should go close again.

gossip from The gallopS

North: OVERTURN (2.55 Chester) Developed into a high-class hurdler through the winter and he returns to the level with an ideal draw to compliment his aggressive style of racing. Newmarket: COLOMBIAN (4.05 Chester) Unfortunate not to finish closer on his Newbury return and he tackles this in preference to the Dee Stakes, with the step up from a mile in his favour. Midlands: FAIR PASSION (4.30 Southwell) Gained just reward for her consistency when coming home in front last week, and she has won here before so the surface isnt a problem. Lambourn: FADHAA (4.40 Chester) Made to work slightly harder than his odds suggested he would have to at Wolverhampton but, as a result, he begins handicap life on a workable mark.

Jim Best sends GOODWOOD STARLIGHT (5.50) up from Lewes to Sedgefield for the seller and the six-year-old looks like going off odds-on. The next in the betting, Hobsons Boy, is the better of the pair on my ratings so I recommended laying the favourite, despite Jason Maguire being in the saddle.

Murrays left helpless

Sponsors put gag on gang
From Alix Ramsey in Madrid WHAT is a world No4 to do? Andy Murray has spent the past 10 months looking for a coach to replace Miles Maclagan and yet the minute he picks someone to assist him, albeit only a temporary appointment, he cannot call on their help when he plays.
Scotlands finest has decided to use the adidas player development team until such time that he finds a full-time coach. And the gang of experts, including Darren Cahill, the former coach to Andre Agassi and Leyton Hewitt, and Sven Groeneveld, the former guide to Roger Federer, Michael Stich and Greg Rusedski, has been working with Murray for the first time this week. But just as Murray gets ready to play his opening match at the Mutua Madrid Open, they cannot help him. Murray is playing Gilles Simon today and the Frenchman shares the same clothing sponsor as him which means Cahill and his colleagues cannot be seen to be coaching Murray on how to beat another adidas player. They can help him with his own game, they can even warm him up before the match, but they cannot sit with the rest of Murrays team during the match and they cannot give any tactical advice on how to beat the world No20. As a result, Murray will call on his friend and hitting partner Dani Vallverdu for help. It doesnt really alter much, said Murray. Because my situation is that I will speak to Dani about tactics. Dani will be in my box with the rest of my team. I knew the deal going into it and thats it. I wont speak to anyone else about tactics or anything. But thats been the same way for a long time with Dani and Im comfortable with that. Murray always knew that such a problem was likely to arise he cannot claim to have been stitched

TENNIS: MADRID OPEN

DOUBLES TROUBLE: Jamie and Andy Murray discuss tactics during their defeat

SIMON SAYS: Frenchman Gilles Simon is not too confident of success

up by his clothing sponsor and it has hardly thrown him into a panic. And what work he has been able to do with Cahill has been both enjoyable and productive. Hes a great coach and he was a great player, said Murray. Hes got a lot of knowledge of tennis. It is not like he ever left the game hes been doing a lot of TV commentary as well so he watches a lot of matches. He has good knowledge of all the opponents I might play so hell definitely help. Simon, though, does not think Murray needs much help and he is not particularly confident about his chances regardless of who is allowed to coach his opponent. He beat Ivan Ljubicic 7-5, 7-6 yesterday but having been walloped in straight sets by the Scot just three weeks ago in Monte Carlo his fifth defeat against Murray in six previous meetings he thinks the Scot is a force to be reckoned with on any surface, even clay. I feel like all the courts are the same now, so I think there is not a huge difference, he said. Everybody thinks that Andy is not playing very well on clay but Im not sure its true. Its harder for him to defeat the top guys but against all the other players, I think he has a very good record also on clay. That record took a bit of a knock yesterday as Murray and brother Jamie were comprehensively beaten 6-2, 6-2 by Marc Lopez and Marcel Granollers in the first round of the doubles. But the British No1 was not too concerned about the exit his goal is the singles even if he was hoping for a better result in order to help his brother collect a few ranking points. And the good news was that his elbow injury appears to have healed completely. I felt fine physically, the elbows fine, he said. Ive got my rhythm back and Ive been playing great in practice, hitting the ball really well. Singles and doubles are totally different games, especially on clay.

Higgins haunted
JOHN HIGGINS admitted after winning his fourth world title that he will never be completely clear of the suspicion that dogs him. His 18-15 victory over new star Judd Trump in the final of the Betfred.com World Championship at the Crucible was another demonstration of Higgins resolve since returning to action in November after a six-month ban. That stemmed from the framefixing affair last year, in which the then world No1 was accused by a newspaper of agreeing to accept money to throw frames. Scot Higgins, 35, was cleared of all corruption at an independent tribunal but banned and fined 75,000 on lesser disrepute charges. But after taking his half-seasons earnings to

Andy FLOWER insisted there is plenty more to achieve with England, not least the pursuit of being crowned No1 team in the world, after signing an extension to his contract with the ECB.

England coach Flower officially team director put pen to paper on an improved full-time deal that will keep him in situ until at least the Ashes series of 2013. In addition to an improved financial package, Flower will be consulted on future touring schedules even though sources insisted he has not had any opt-out clauses for unspecified tours inserted in his contract. Flowers reward comes after a disappointing World Cup but after two years in which he has overseen significant progress including two Ashes wins, home and away, and the Twenty20 World Cup victory last year, Englands first triumph at an ICC global event. In addition England have risen from sixth to third in the ICC Test rankings behind India and South Africa and from sixth to fifth in the ODI rankings. Flower admitted that the progress needed not only to be repeated but accelerated if England are to scale the peaks of the game while he is in charge. There is still plenty more we want to achieve in the longer term, he said. We have made no secret of our determination to become the No1 side in the world and challenge for global titles. He added: I feel we have been making steady progress and I firmly believe we have the talent among the playing squad and management team to help us realise our ambitions. The ECBs move to tie Flower down to a longer and better deal comes as recognition that England have improved under him but also as a nod to the fact that India made discreet enquiries about him taking over from Gary Kirsten recently. In the event, Duncan Fletcher removed that temptation when he accepted the Indian job last week. England managing director Hugh Morris has also sought to tie down the highly rated David Saker, their bowling coach, to a new deal in an effort to ward off interest from Australia. Morris is in meetings this week with both Flower, national selector Geoff Miller and captain Andrew Strauss as a wide-ranging debrief into the winter action starts in earnest. It will culminate in a two-day meeting with all the players

Stevensons in golden tears

OLYMPICS
By Colin Bateman
A TEARFUL Sarah Stevenson dedicated her gold medal at the Taekwondo World Championships yesterday to her sick parents at home in Yorkshire. They had persuaded her to return to competition for the event in South Korea, knowing how vital it was for her in the build-up to next years Olympics. Both are seriously ill and Stevenson, who won bronze in Beijing in 2008, had not been in competition this year because of concerns for them. Mother Diane was diagnosed with cancer last January, while a month ago her father Roy was taken to the same Sheffield hospital after it was discovered he was suffering from a brain tumour. Both are gravely ill, but they insisted she return to her sport with only two womens Olympic places up for grabs in London. Stevenson responded with victory in the semi-final and final yesterday, 10 years after her first world title success. I cannot describe what its going to mean to my mum and dad,

STEVENSON: Pride
said Stevenson. My whole family will be so proud. Hopefully Ive given them something to smile about. It is an amazing feeling. Stevenson defeated Olympic champion and home favourite Hwang Kyung-Seon 8-5 in her semi-final and then fought Chinas Guo Yunfei for the title in the Under-67kg category. They were locked at 3-3 in a finale that went to a sudden-death round. But the judge awarded gold to Stevenson for being the most pro-active fighter. Performance director Gary Hall said: It was a very special performance. On a successful day for the GB team, Martin Stamper and Welsh teenager Jade Jones also guaranteed themselves at least bronze medals by winning through to the semi-finals of their weight groups.

Flower stays to fulfil his No1 priority

q
Former Sri Lanka captain Hashan Tillakaratne will give evidence to the International Cricket Council in the days to come as he vowed to expose those he alleges were involved in widespread match-fixing. Tillakaratne, 43, and former team-mate Arjuna Ranatunga claim fixing has been common in Sri Lankan cricket since 1992. He said: I have been getting nuisance calls, death threats, but I will expose all those who are involved in a time to come. ahead of the start of the series against Sri Lanka. High on the agenda is whether Strauss will continue in the role as skipper of the one-day side, a decision he has not found easy to make. Should he decide to relinquish the ODI captaincy, Alastair Cook is the most likely candidate to take over. Strauss, who intends to make his return to cricket for Middlesex a week on Saturday in a three-day tour match against Sri Lanka at Uxbridge, will make his decision before then. The first Test against the tourists is in Cardiff on May 26. Flowers thoughts are needed on next winters schedules and, more pressingly, on who will take over from the retired Paul Collingwood at No6 in the Test side. Ravi Bopara is in pole position having been busy with Essex with both bat and ball. His decision to turn down the cash of the Indian Premier League might just stand him in better stead than Eoin Morgan who, arriving back at Middlesex later this month, has had a difficult time with his IPL franchise the Kolkata Knight Riders, finding neither starts nor runs flowing. Whoever gets the nod for the Sri Lanka Tests is likely to be given the whole of the series to nail down that place in time for the arrival in July of world No1 side India.

Harry relies on his sixth sense

Thursday, I dont care about you.... The Cure, Friday Im in Love ON THE basis that nobody remembers the losers, it used to be a quiz question: name this seasons beaten FA Cup semi-nalists. With the Europa Cup this week, most people will be hard pushed to remember tomorrows semi-nal winners.
You could see UEFAs thinking behind the competition that sits alongside the Champions League: we have to do something for that tier of clubs beneath the biggest in the major footballing nations and give them a chance of revenue and kudos. Such is the unwieldy, afterthought nature of the competition now, however, that more are seeing it as a liability and fewer are taking it seriously or even want to be in it. Take Tottenham. If Harry Redknapp sounded philosophical about Chelseas controversial two goals that beat his team at Stamford Bridge as a Champions League place slips away, perhaps it was because he sees the problems that nishing fth would bring the club next season. It now looks as if Liverpool will pip Spurs and join Birmingham and Stoke, the domestic cup representatives, as Englands trio in the competition next season. All three may embrace it, for various reasons. Liverpool need their name in Europe, while Stoke and Birmingham will enjoy the novelty value, as did Fulham in their march to the nal last year. All, however, will wonder even worry what it might do to their Premier League prospects. Liverpool will be looking for a Champions League place, at the very least, from next seasons campaign and will surely not want too many distractions. And fun it may be for a while for Stoke and Birmingham, but not if relegation threatens. Graeme Souness once said that Thursday night was a managers chance to take the long-suffering wife out for dinner. The appeal of a night ight back home from Eastern Europe ahead of a Sunday game pales alongside that. Also, for Spurs after their Champions League exploits this season, the Europa League would taste like sh cake after caviar. UEFA are going to have to do something and in the only language understood by the clubs from the big TV nations of England, France, Italy, Germany and Spain: money. Currently, winning the Europa League is worth about 6.25million in participation and prize money, which is roughly what Spurs could make from selling someone decent on their bench. All that for a campaign of 17 matches. Teams who simply take part in the group stages of the Champions League are guaranteed that amount. A win is worth 700,000 and a draw 350,000. This is quite apart from gate revenue and TV money that dwarfs what can be made in the Europa League. To regain the attraction for the clubs themselves and football followers beyond those who see the Europa League as moving wallpaper in pubs on a dull night, UEFA need to think about some redistribution of wealth from the Champions League. They also need to make the Europa a tighter, more intense competition with fewer games so that they return event status to matches. I never saw why the UEFA Cup and Cup Winners Cup had to merge. Spurs had some great nights in those two cups. They, and others, could do again.

Bernie needs lesson from Delia

THEY are often seen as gentle footballing folk in Norfolk, but passions run high there too. Ask Delia Smith, who was known to receive some verbal abuse as Norwich City slipped from the Premier League to League One, even if she is unlikely to squeal about it. Now they are back at the top, due in no small measure to the woman who taught us well me, anyway to cook eggs. With courage given to her, she believes, from her Christian faith but without fanfare, she stuck with Norwich, turning up home and away and putting in sums totalling 12million to keep the club going during some tough times. Some of it was as equity, some of it had to be as loans, as she is not fabulously wealthy, despite what some may think. With the Canaries now receiving a minimum of about 90m over the next four seasons, she would be AT THE top of the Premier League, Sir Alex Ferguson insists that Manchester United are not getting big decisions from referees. At the bottom, Avram Grant laments calls that are consistently going against West Ham. In mid-table, Stokes Tony Pulis has castigated ofcials who have cost his team points this season.

STUART PEARCE is on a collision course with Arsenal and Liverpool after Jack Wilshere and Andy Carroll were named in a provisional 40-man squad for the Under-21 European Championship.

England Under-21 boss Pearce has consistently said he will pick his best team for the tournament, but his decision to include full internationals Wilshere and Carroll will be contested by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger and Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish, who do not want their men playing in the June nals in Denmark. Pearce will discuss the issue with Wenger, who has expressed concerns about the amount of games midelder Wilshere has played this season, but has no plans to talk to Dalglish, with Carroll having featured only eight times for Liverpool since his 35million British record move in January. He said: Ive spoken with the players and the important thing is the players. Ill be speaking to any relevant managers that I deem necessary. With Andy Carroll, I dont think there is a relevance really to speak with the manager there. I think Jack Wilshere is in a different situation. I will have a conversation with Arsene with respect to him and outline my viewpoint on that. The most important thing is England go with a very strong side and hopefully that stands the players in good stead for the future, when they step on the pitch for the senior team. Ive been involved in football a long time but never actually seen a team who get to a nals, then decide to drop their best players. Thats quite silly. Football is about gaining experience at whatever level you have to play. When I look back over the past 15 years of the previous winners of the tournament, if you look a couple of years on, their senior national sides have done particularly well. I look at the Germans at Under-21 level champions two years ago in Europe and their team went on to a World Cup semi-nal. Italy went on and won the Under-21s twice in a row. The Spanish did the same. You have to be successful at these younger age groups to have any chance at senior level. The one thing you do know in the future is when you step on the pitch and go to a major tournament with the senior team, the more experience you have at Under-21 and Under-19 level, the better stead it will stand you in. Carroll has been injured for much of the second half of the

Wenger is concerned Wilshere, 19, who has played 46 times for Arsenal this season, will suffer burnout.

in 34 of Sunderlands 35 Premier League games. Pearce has shown a protective streak with Wilshere, giving him less than a game and a half for the Under-21s this season, but the fact is he believes Wilsheres footballing education will be best served by his appearance at a major nals, albeit a junior one. Pearce believes Wilshere will revel in the atmosphere. He reminds me of Paul Gascoigne, he said. He loves to play football. England play Norway at Southampton on May 5 in a

West Hams Victor Obinna has distanced himself from any talk about his future. Obinna, 24, has been on a seasons loan from Inter Milan and West Ham are believed to have rst option on the striker, who is out of contact at

the Italian club in the summer. Grant would be hard pressed to convince Nigerian Obinna to commit his future to the Hammers, given the clubs precarious league position. I have really enjoyed my time at West Ham, said Obinna. I have tried to give my maximum for the fans because they have been outstanding this season. The priority is that West Ham stay up.

Ralf hoping to find way

Schalkes arrival in Manchester was delayed by red tape yesterday, but boss Ralf Rangnick is in a hurry to create a major upset. Five of Schalkes nonEuropean players did not have the necessary visa and the squad were made to wait a couple of hours at Dusseldorf airport for the British embassy to sort out the paperwork. Rangnick said: We got the information about the visas when we were waiting at the airport. The only effect it had was that we started 90 minutes later in Dusseldorf but, as we gained an hour with the time difference, it was not really a problem for us. Rangnick, who studied at Sussex University in the late Seventies, insists his team will prove far more efficient than in their sorry first-leg display in the VeltinsArena last week. He says they are ready to punish any complacency from Manchester United and will also take encouragement from Bayern Munichs fightback in last seasons quarter-final. Bayern were 3-0 down on the night in the second leg at Old Trafford and 4-2 on aggregate but came back to draw 4-4 on aggregate and go through on the away-goals rule. What people are saying here in Britain about the second leg doesnt matter, said Rangnick. Im sure the betting situation reflects those sentiments but it is no different to the chance people gave us when we went to Inter in the quarter-finals. We want to show we can play a lot better than in the first leg and have learnt our lessons. United will try and score an early goal to kill us off. But even if we go one down we are still effectively in the same situation we would still need to score three goals. Schalkes only previous trip to Manchester ended in a 5-1 defeat to City in the semi-final of the old European Cup Winners Cup in 1970.

Malouda: Well rise to the big occasion

By Tony Banks
FLORENT MALOUDA says Chelseas character for the big games will come to the fore in Sundays title showdown against Manchester United. Malouda has hit three goals in Chelseas last three matches and, like several players in Carlo Ancelottis team, appears to be coming back to form at a crucial stage of the season. As Chelsea look for their ninth win in their past 10 games, France winger Malouda also says shot-shy Fernando Torres is the clubs future. Malouda, enjoying his best campaign for the Blues with 13 goals, said: You see our players character when there are big games like this. It is not normal that I am ahead of Didier Drogba in the scoring lists. He will finish ahead of me but Im pleased because it means Im an important member of the squad if I am the equal top scorer. All we can do now is win all our matches. Ancelotti is expected to revert to his best team on Sunday and drop Torres to the bench again. But Malouda said: Fernando is the future of the club and its important he feels good here. Thats what everybody wants. The best way is for him to score goals. World Cup final referee Howard Webb will take charge of the match which will see Chelsea go above their rivals on goal difference if they repeat last seasons win. United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has expressed his concern at the number of key decisions that have gone against his side in big matches this season. But statistics show that Webb has awarded four penalties to United in his past six games at Old Trafford. And he came down on Uniteds side when he gave them a penalty against Liverpool in an FA Cup tie earlier this season. That led to Ryan Babel posting a mocked-up picture of Webb wearing a United shirt on Twitter, earning him a 10,000 fine.

Sir Alex Ferguson tonight chalks up his 250th game as a manager in European competition but rarely has he gone into such a key occasion distracted by an even bigger one four days later.

Manchester Uniteds 2-0 victory in Gelsenkirchen last week renders tonights Champions League semifinal second leg against Schalke at Old Trafford almost a formality, not only in the eyes of the footballing public but also when recent history is taken into account. Since the competition was revamped into the modern format in 1993-94, 18 teams have held a 2-0 lead from the first leg of a knockout-round tie and all 18 have progressed to the next stage. So while United fans are already thinking about Sundays potential Premier League decider with Chelsea, Ferguson admits he also has to take that game into account when picking his team to face the Germans. And therein lies the danger for United, as their manager recognised yesterday. While he has to think ahead and it is in the nature of fans so used to glory to look ahead his players simply cannot afford to have that mindset. Fergusons planning is shaped by last seasons experience, when United went out of Europe at the quarter-final stage against Bayern Munich and left themselves with nothing in the tank physically or mentally for the following Saturdays showdown with Chelsea, which they lost to effectively hand the title to the Blues. Fergusons gamble to play Wayne Rooney with a damaged ankle in that second leg against Bayern backfired when he aggravated the injury to rule himself out of the Chelsea game and the following weeks clash at Blackburn, where a goalless draw left United looking for snookers. That is why Rooney who missed open training yesterday with a slight hamstring problem will not be risked tonight and nor will his first-choice strike partner Javier Hernandez, who

United must learn lesson

from back page had little energy left for the crucial showdown against Chelsea just days after their European exit against Bayern Munich and crashed to a home defeat. As he prepared for the 250th European game of his managerial career, Ferguson is haunted by a repeat scenario. He said: If you look at the experience of last year when we lost the title to Chelsea on the Saturday after the Wednesday game against Bayern, that has to have a bearing on team selection. These are two massive games. There will be some changes but hopefully the nucleus of the team is still good enough to

win us the match. Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Owen and Paul Scholes hope for recalls as United chase a 300th Champions League goal, with Darren Fletcher perhaps on the bench. Ferguson also fired a warning to Chelsea, saying: We didnt get the result we were looking for against Arsenal, but we are still confident and in a great position with a three-point lead and three games to play. Two of those games are at home and with the fans backing, Im sure we will hit our targets. Its always been the case at this club that if we lose a game we recover. Thats the beauty of it, youve always got the next game to put things right. hopefully that approach will get us through. Make no mistake, our work ethic will have to be very high in order for us to qualify. The work you do with respect to winning mentality, attitude and character has been formulated a long time ago. Most of the players have been with me for a number of years and that helps. They have been through many tests, so I trust that. United cannot afford to give Schalke the encouragement of an early goal. Even though they looked one of the poorest teams to participate in a Champions League semi-final in last weeks first leg in the Veltins-Arena and then crashed 4-1 to Bayern Munich on Saturday Ferguson is well aware that they were 2-1 down after 34 minutes in their quarter-final first leg in the San Siro but stormed back to beat Inter Milan 5-2. They also came from behind to draw their last-16 away leg in Valencia and beat Benfica in the group stages. Ferguson added: Schalke have nothing to lose and thats the message Ralf Rangnick will be imparting to his team. They will have a go and try to win the match theres nothing else they can do. As a coach in the semifinal, he must give his team the chance to win the match and I think you will find they will have a real go. We must take nothing for granted. Those are likely to be Fergusons final words to his players as they leave the dressing room tonight. As Patrice Evra said so succinctly after the first leg: It will be the biggest disaster of all our careers if we dont reach the final now.

Dont try to turn Van

EDWIN van der Sar has been urged by Sir Alex Ferguson not to bow to pressure to reverse his decision to retire at the end of the season. Ferguson believes goalkeeper Van der Sar, 40, is right to go out at the top of his game rather than see the years diminish his abilities. Van der Sars performances this season have prompted United followers to try to persuade him to stay on for another season and there have been suggestions he could change his mind. But Ferguson said: He hasnt hinted that to me. People have got the wrong impression. I think if I was giving advice to Edwin right now, I would say, Retire because he is at the absolute pinnacle of his career. Sometimes when a player gets to that age in certain positions and goalkeeper is one of them its easier for him. But all of a sudden age comes on you and I wouldnt want to see Edwin in that situation. There is no reason he should risk another year and drop below his standard. He deserves to go out at the very top because his

looked jaded in the defeat at Arsenal on Sunday. Also likely to be rested are the influential Rio Ferdinand, inspirational veteran Ryan Giggs and key midfielders Ji-Sung Park and Michael Carrick. Leading scorer Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Owen, Paul Scholes, Chris Smalling, John OShea and Darron Gibson are all set for recalls. Ferguson acknowledged it is a tricky balancing act but insisted complacency simply cannot enter his players minds even if the crowd are already dreaming of taking revenge on Barcelona at Wembley on May 28. Thats the optimism supporters have

got, he said, but we dont share that. Its easy to get complacent in modern life there are many examples of it. Its always dangerous in football to assume you have found the silver bullet. The interesting thing about the weekend was that all four Champions League semi-finalists lost in their domestic leagues that shows how much the midweek European games do take it out of you. Sundays match is a huge one, which is why I have to pick the right team. It is always difficult when you have a lead [from an away leg] but I believe the best way is to play our normal game play to win the match and

KEEPING UP

career has been fantastic, in the way he has conducted himself as a professional and a human being. He is absolutely gold standard. If United complete the job of knocking out Schalke tonight, Van der Sar will bow out in his fifth Champions League final on May 28 and Ferguson says he will be sorry to lose his influence, not only on the pitch but also in the dressing room. If you could see him in the dressing room before games and at half-time he is absolutely fantastic, said Ferguson.

According to his assistant, Aitor Karanka, he telephoned the ground to congratulate the players and to construct another piece of nonsense alleging bias by a referee. But only Mourinho knows if he threw the remote at the set, emptied the mini-bar or sat calmly thinking who he could blame. And now the question is: how will the famous club he manages respond to being vanquished by their ancient and intense rivals? Banned from the technical area after he was sent off in the foul-tempered rst leg, Mourinho cited security reasons for staying in his hotel last night rather than sitting in what would have been a public naughty seat in the stand. So just how secure is his job now? On Friday he will learn how many more European ties he must miss for his diatribe after last weeks rst game, in which he speculated that a long-term conspiracy had given the Catalans power over referees. If UEFA impose a prolonged suspension, then Madrids president Florentino Perez is certain to consider ditching Mourinho this summer. He hired him to win the Champions League. He has failed amid acrimony. And Perez does not want a coach who will have to watch a lot of television next season. Nor can the club of Alfredo di Stefano and of Zinedine Zidane be proud of the way Mourinho does business. Last night, according to Karanka, Mourinho reported that he was disgusted by what he had seen in the two games and particularly infuriated by the fact that a goal by Gonzalo Higuain was disallowed. But there will be those who are disgusted that the Madrid

ONLY Jose Mourinho knows how he really responded to Real Madrids aggregate defeat last night, because he was watching on TV in a hotel room as the drama unfolded.

team drilled by Mourinho collected ve cautions and set two records for fouls. The 29 offences they committed was more than any other side has managed in any Champions League game this season and the 11 fouls inicted on Lionel Messi was more than had been suffered by any individual player in the competition this season. At least Madrid did not have anyone sent off. They had nished with 10 men in each of their four previous matches against Barcelona this season. It was Madrid who rst gave the European Cup its lustre by winning it ve times in succession between 1956 and 1960. They have won the prize four times subsequently to become Europes most decorated club. Yet these players have copied their coach and become sour losers. Cristiano Ronaldo said: Barcelona are very difcult to beat because they get outside help. Xabi Alonso said: The difference between the teams was the referee. Both remarks were outrageous slurs against Frank de Bleeckere, the Belgian ofcial. He was one of the ve referees slandered by Mourinho last week in his scattergun rant, but De Bleeckeres only real failing last night was to be far too tolerant of Ricardo Carvalhos crimes after an early booking. It shames Real that their coach and their players can so blithely attack the reputation of a top ofcial to hide their own failings. Presumably Mourinho did not watch as coach Pep Guardiola joined his entire Barca squad in an impromptu circle-dance of joy in the middle of their pitch, tossing into the air defender Eric Abidal who came on as a late substitute after a remarkable return from a liver cancer operation. The Madrid players were long gone by then. They had sloped away, broken and well beaten by a Catalan side who did what Guardiola said they would. Goaded beyond tolerance by Mourinhos season-long verbal war, Guardiola said that although the Portuguese was the master of the media, his team would win the football. And, after the spiteful rst match, Barca did play their football last night. They had 64 per cent of the possession and completed 631 passes to Madrids 261. In the ve matches against Real this season, Barcelona have completed 2,494 more passes than their opponents. Madrid were forced by their 2-0 rst-leg defeat to abandon their sterile tactics, but that only allowed Barca to pass their way through the gaps which were left. Higuain had that goal struck off because Ronaldo had obstructed Javier Mascherano and then Barca went further ahead on aggregate nine minutes into the second half when Andres Iniesta threaded a glorious pass through and Pedro sidefooted the ball beyond goalkeeper Iker Casillas. Mourinhos men hit back 10 minutes later when Angel Di Maria thumped a drive against a post but remained ***

MY BALL: Marcelo turns away after levelling the scores for Real Madrid

Spain forgets all the hate and gets on with job

For those of us in this stadium nine years ago, there was an enormous sense of deja vu. On that dark October night in 2002, it was another Portuguese, Luis Figo, who had enraged the Catalan nation. Having jumped the Barca ship and signed up with Florentino Perez for a world record transfer fee in 2000, this was the traitors return. Like last night, the rain lashed down, but the mood was darker still and there was almost as much hatred as liquid in the air. The match was stopped for 15 shameful minutes while a hail of bicycle chains, coins, bottles, cans, mobile phones and that infamous roast suckling pigs head were launched at poor old Figo. There was so much focus on bile, bitterness and Barcelonas sense of betrayal that no football was played and we saw no goals. So while the Nou Camp crowd bayed for vengeance on the absent Jose Mourinho, the crude-tackling Ricardo Carvalho and the often isolated Cristiano Ronaldo, it was like a step backwards not only in time but in terms of how football should be played and celebrated. The difference last night was that Pep Guardiolas footballers did not get sucked into that and they left the referee to sort out what was, and was not, a foul. There were moments when they absolutely rocked. Iker Casillas is one hell of a goalkeeper. If Madrid had him plus 10 of his ilk outfield they would be unstoppable. He should send a bill up to Perez, his vastly wealthy construction magnate club president. However, he was merely stemming a tide. Time and again Barcelona, now that they were playing their brand of football, ripped through the gears and left Madrid puffing and panting in their wake. You knew the goal was coming, unlike that hate-filled, embarrassing night nine years ago when one Barcelona era small-minded and second-best

From Peter Edwards in Barcelona

to the shiny new Perez Galaxy was ending and was about to give birth to what we thankfully have now. There was a dark irony about the conditions, however, and you have to have a laugh where you can. For the last few weeks Barcelonas players have moaned and groaned, with total sincerity, that the Bernabeu pitch is left with excessively long grass and a significant lack of watering when they come to play on it. The key is that Guardiolas boys like what they call half touch football. Not one touch, half touch. The ball has to fizz from boot to boot, the crowd roar and opponentswell they are usually burned off. Well there was water on the pitch all right last night. So much so that the ball would often actually stop on its intended trajectory, helping Madrid and slowing down Barcas intention to cut them open and give us another show like Novembers 5-0 thrashing of Real. Up in the presidential box, Perez, his empire looking pretty bankrupt, was sat next to Barcas young pretender Sandro Rosell. Spanish traditions dictate that it is bad form, a lack of Senorio, to celebrate a goal with your opposite presidential number next to you, but either the pair of them had ants in their pants or they were just utterly desperate to leap up and punch the air when Pedro opened the scoring and Marcelo equalised. And just to prove Mourinho wrong again Belgian referee Frank De Bleeckere watched Marcelo launch himself into a thuggish attack on Messi which encapsulated the spitefulness of these past two and a half weeks. But Messi walked away, Barcelona marched on and somewhere, Figo was watching on television saying to himself, I know how that feels. Im glad its not me any more. Over and out from the Clasicos.

There were times when Barca rocked

Absent Joses ref rant

FROM BACK PAGE in the final. It was the same two years ago and I think Sir Alex Ferguson is always likely to be there, so for me as a young coach it is an honour to arrive at the final and play them. Even without attending the match, Real coach Mourinho showed himself to be a graceless loser last night with yet another ref rant. He was banned from the touchline and so watched in a hotel. But as Barcelona
