THE worlds most wanted terrorist Osama
Bin Laden died as a coward after using one
of his wives as a human shield.
The Al Qaeda mastermind was shot dead by US
special forces in a raid monitored from the White
House. President Barack Obama watched on spy
cameras as Bin Laden died alongside his wife, son
and two aides.
US intelligence had traced the terror chief to a high-
walled mansion in Pakistan and an elite unit was sent in

Body buried at sea to ward off fanatics

on Sunday night with orders
to kill. Four Black Hawk heli-
copters ew a team of 24 US
Navy Seals to carry out the
daring attack on Bin Ladens
compound in Abbottabad.
After being identied by a
woman believed to be his
youngest wife Amal al-Sadah
the terror chief was shot in
the eye and chest while
ring an automatic weapon
at the US commandos.
John Brennan, US counter
terrorism adviser, told a
White House press confer-
ence: The woman killed was
Bin Ladens wife. She served
as a shield.
Here is Osama Bin Laden
who has been calling for
these attacks living in a
million dollar house in an
area far from the front line
hiding behind women put in
front of him as a shield.
But hiding behind women
could not save Bin Laden,
the inspiration behind the
9/11 attacks on the US and
7/7 terror outrage in London.
His body was retrieved by
the Seals and buried at sea
after a 99.9 per cent DNA
match was gained. Photos
were also taken which are
expected to be shown to the
world today.
Last night US President
Barack Obama said: The
world is safer. It is a better
place because of the death of
Osama Bin Laden.
And former Republican
presidential candidate Mike
Huckabee spoke for many
when he said: Welcome to
hell, Bin Laden.
Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton refused to conrm
whether the $25million
bounty put on Bin Ladens
head after the 9/11 attacks
would be paid out.
Last night it emerged the
hunt for the Al Qaeda leader
was given a huge boost after
one of the 9/11 plotters
revealed information under
torture in Guantanamo Bay.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
gave CIA interrogators the
name of Bin Ladens personal
courier after repeated water-
boarding, according to the
Wikileaks website.
US intelligence followed
the courier to Abbottabad
last August, an hours drive
from the capital Islamabad,
and the suspicious 600,000
compound was located a
short walk from Pakistans
equivalent of Sandhurst mili-
tary academy.
A full-scale spy plane and
satellite surveillance opera-
tion was launched, while CIA
agents of Pakistani descent
were holed up in farm build-
ings close to the house. They
even managed to smuggle a
camera into the compound.
The rst evidence that Bin
Laden was there came after
he was picked up on a CIA
microphone. A photo was
also taken of him inside the
compound prompting Mr
Obama to hold secret meet-
ings with his security team.
The green light for the
operation was given last Fri-
day, as the worlds attention
was on the Royal Wedding.
It is thought the President
chose not to bomb the com-
pound because he wanted to
have Bin Ladens body as
rm proof he was dead and
did not want to kill another
family living in the house.
Mr Obama revealed the
news of Bin Ladens demise
in a late-night address to the
nation, triggering wild cele-
brations on the streets of
New York and Washington.
He said: On nights like
this one, we can say to fami-
lies who have lost loved ones
to Al Qaedas terror: Justice
has been done.
But America and Britain
immediately issued a height-
ened terror alert amid fears
that Al Qaeda will stage a
revenge spectacular.
Within hours of the raid
being announced, radical
British Muslim cleric Anjem
Choudary said: Britain is
more likely to face a 7/7 today
than ever.
And CIA director Leon
Panetta said: Though Bin
Laden is dead, Al Qaeda is
not. The terrorists almost
certainly will attempt to
avenge him, and we must
and will remain vigilant and
resolute. But across Wash-
ington there was a wide-
spread belief that Bin Lad-
ens death was a devastating
blow to Al Qaeda.
David Cameron, who was
woken in the early hours of
yesterday to be told the news
by President Obama, said
Bin Ladens elimination
would bring great relief to
people across the world.
Pakistan was only informed
about the raid after it was
over, underlying fears that
rogue elements in Pakistans
intelligence service have
been too close to Bin Laden.
The fact that he was able
to live so close to the Paki-
stan capital will further
undermine trust between the
US and Pakistan.
0PINI0N & 00MMNJ: Pk0 !2
IN a move designed to thwart erce
reaction, Osama Bin Ladens body was
swiftly buried at sea yesterday.
But the rapid disposal and absence
of published photographic evidence of
his death sparked conspiracy theories
that he had not been killed.
The US military said the decision to
dispose of the Al Qaeda leaders
remains at sea was taken to avoid
international problems over a burial
site, after Saudi Arabia was said to
have refused to take the corpse.
The move was also ordered to
prevent construction of any physical
shrine to Bin Laden that could become
a future focal point for fanatics. Bin
Laden, shot in the eye by American
forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan, was
buried at sea from the deck of a US
aircraft carrier in the north Arabian
Sea after being washed according to
Islamic custom and receiving a
religious funeral, a US ofcial said.
But Muslim clerics interpreted the
burial at sea as a humiliating disregard
for the Muslim practice of placing the
body in a grave with the head pointed
toward Mecca. Sea burials could be
allowed, they said, but only where the
death occurred on a ship.
Scholars said the sea burial might
further provoke calls for revenge
attacks on American targets. The
Americans want to humiliate Muslims
through this burial, and I dont think
this is in the interest of the US
administration, said Omar Bakri
Mohammed, the radical cleric who ed
Britain for exile in Lebanon.
According to US sources, the death
of a sister of the terror leader in a
Boston hospital several years ago
allowed DNA conrmation of his death.
The Kremlin welcomed the USs
serious success in slaying him. But as
the internet erupted with messages
from sceptics doubting the death,
Major-General Vladimir Ovchinskiy,
former head of Russias Interpol
bureau, said: Perhaps he was killed
ages ago, or probably he is still alive.

OSAMA Bin Ladens nal
moments were watched live by
Barack Obama in the White
House, it emerged last night.
The US president saw the Al
Qaeda leader shot dead on a
giant TV screen while huddled
in a room with Vice President
Joe Biden and members of the
national security team.
In scenes that could have
been taken straight from the
hit US television series 24,
Obama exclaimed we got him
when Bin Ladens body was
recovered.
Images released by the White
House show 20 US ofcials
watching anxiously as the
action is streamed via satellite
link from the helmet-mounted
camera of a US commando.
Obama, wearing a casual
jacket, shirt and khaki trousers,
is seen leaning forward in his
chair looking intently at the
screen.
He is also seen in a close-up
image with his mouth covered
by his knuckles and in
another picture pointing
while talking to National
Security Adviser Tom
Donilon. Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton is
captured with her hand
over her mouth as she
struggles to contain her
emotions during the
dramatic episode.
Obamas top counter-
terrorism adviser John
Brennan told a press
conference yesterday
that the President moni-
tored the progress of the
operation from begin-
ning to end in a very
tense atmosphere.
He revealed the minutes
passed like days as Obama
and ofcials tracked the mis-
sion and that the most nail-
biting moment came when a
malfunctioning helicopter was
forced to land and they had to
move on to plan B.
Speaking at the White House
Mr Brennan said: It was prob-
ably one of the most anxiety-
lled periods of time in the lives
of the people who were assem-
bled here yesterday.
The minutes passed like
days and the President was
very concerned about the secu-
rity of our personnel that was
what his mind was on through-
out. It was clearly very tense
with a lot of people holding
their breath.
He added there was a tre-
mendous sigh of relief as news
came in of Bin Ladens death.
Details of how Bin Laden was
nally tracked down to a
compound in Pakistan emerged
last night after it was revealed
US forces used information
gleaned from tortured Guan-
tanamo Bay detainees to pin-
point his whereabouts.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,
who helped to plot the 9/11
atrocity, gave CIA interroga-
tors the name of Bin Ladens
personal courier after repeat-
edly being subjected to contro-
versial waterboarding and
stress position techniques.
According to secret documents
obtained by whistleblowing
website WikiLeaks, another Al
Qaeda leader held at the
Cuban prison conrmed the
couriers identity leading to
the massive manhunt which
tracked Bin Laden the worlds
most wanted man and ending a
10-year hunt.
The US yesterday hailed the
use of the torture methods as
being directly responsible for
helping security forces hunt
down and kill the Al Qaeda
leader. But it has reignited the
debate over whether water-
IT was the moment devastated
families who lost loved ones in two of
the worlds most devastating terror
attacks had been waiting for.
A decade after 9/11 in America and
six years since 7/7 in London, the
relatives whose lives were ripped
apart on the command of Osama Bin
Laden nally got justice.
He personally ordered the attacks
on September 11 2001 on New York
and Washington which killed 2,995
people, including 67 Britons.
His poisonous extremism then
inspired four British Islamic
extremists to blow themselves up in
London on July 7, 2005 and kill 52
innocent commuters.
Yesterday, Maggy Owen, 63, from
Portsmouth, whose daughter Melanie
de Vere, 30, was killed when the Twin
Towers collapsed, said: Ive been
waiting for this for 10 years.
We should not rejoice in the death
of others, but this man murdered
thousands of people, including my
daughter. Nothing will replace her
but this has closed a door.
Melanie was waiting for a breakfast
meeting to start on the 106th oor of
the north tower when the rst of the
hijacked planes hit.
It was her second day in New York
and the start of a glamorous new job
as an events manager for nancial
magazine publishers Risk Waters.

Blair-Bush:
Thanks for
finishing job
we started
TONY Blair expressed his heartfelt
gratitude to Barack Obama yesterday on
news of the death of Osama Bin Laden.
The former Prime Minister joined former
US President George W Bush in praising the
operation that saw the worlds most wanted
man shot dead.
The two leaders spearheaded international
military action that saw troops enter
Afghanistan in 2001 in order to hunt down
the Al Qaeda leader after the September 11
terror attacks in the US. At the time,
President Bush called Bin Laden the worlds
most-wanted terrorist, dead or alive.
His killing is likely to be the dening
moment of Barack Obamas presidency with
his approval ratings expected to rise.
Mr Blair thanked President Obama and the
military personnel involved in the operation.
He also paid tribute to those who lost their
lives in September 11 attacks. He said: 9/11
was an attack not just on the United States,
but on all those who shared the best values
of civilisation. And
he warned that,
despite Bin Ladens
death, the ght
against the terrorism
he inspired and the
ideology he
represented remains
as urgent as ever.
In a statement, Mr
Bush said that the
news was a
momentous
achievement.
He said: The ght
against terror goes
on, but tonight
America has sent an
unmistakable
message: No matter
how long it takes,
justice will be done.
David Cameron
said: News of Bin
Ladens death will be welcomed right across
our country. Of course it does not mark the
end of the threat we face from extremist
terrorism. Indeed, we will have to be
particularly vigilant in the weeks ahead. But
it is, I believe, a massive step forward.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said: Osama
Bin Laden committed one of historys most
appalling acts of terrorism and the world is a
safer place because he will no longer be able
to command or encourage acts of terror.
For the victims of 9/11 and their families,
nothing can take away the pain of what
happened but this will provide an important
sense of justice.
Despite the death of Osama Bin Laden,
our vigilance against the perpetrators of
terrorism must and will continue.
Meanwhile, the Foreign Ofce last night
advised British nationals overseas to
monitor local media and remain alert to any
signs of unrest as the news of Bin Ladens
death spreads.
9pDXikpe9ifneGfc`k`ZXc:fii\jgfe[\ek
Momentous, says Blair
boarding which Britain has
long regarded as torture
should be used as a legitimate
interrogation technique.
The method sees prisoners
strapped to a board with their
mouths and noses covered by
cling lm before water is poured
over their faces. The sensation
mimics drowning. Mike Blake-
more, of human rights group
Amnesty International, said:
Its never justiable and no
-one should be trying to use
tracking down Osama Bin
Laden or anything else to try
and say torture is acceptable.
Whatever is claimed, it is of
course also hopelessly unrelia-
ble as a source of information
someone being tortured will say
anything to try and make their
suffering stop.
Former US President George
Bush has claimed that water-
boarding has saved British lives
and helped break up plots to
attack Heathrow and Canary
Wharf.
But the Government has long
regarded it as a form of torture
and Prime Minister David Cam-
eron has warned that if youre
getting information from tor-
ture, its very likely to be unreli-
able information.
would have been made into a martyr.
In fact, its embarrassing for him to
have gone with such a whimper.
I grew up being told that good
always triumphs over evil and today
has proved that to me.
Patricia Bingleys only child Kevin
Dennis, 43, also died in the north
tower. Mrs Bingley, 77, from Clacton-
on-Sea, Essex, said: I am very, very
relieved. Ive waited 10 years for this
news, for justice for my son.
Mr Dennis was a trading manager
for nancial rm Cantor Fitzgerald
on the 101st oor. Mrs Bingley said: I
miss him in every way his phone
calls, his laughter.
John Taylor, 62, from Billericay in
Essex, whose daughter Carrie, 24,
was killed in the 7/7 bombings said he
would be celebrating with a glass of
champagne.
He said: This is a little piece of
justice for Carrie and the thousands
around the world who have been
killed as a result of his actions.
However, the news brought no real
sense of justice for David Hartley,
whose wife Marie, 34, of
Oswaldtwistle, Lancs, died in the
Tavistock Square bus bomb on 7/7.
He said: They have got one but
there are more behind. I cant see
this meaning terrorism is likely to
stop.

who lost his stockbroker son Nigel,

Why do we give 650m

Secret shield
for Bin Laden
from Pakistan
Demonstrators in Pakistan protest against killing of Bin Laden yesterday but Andrew Mitchell, right, is sending more aid
OSAMA Bin Laden was being secretly
protected by Pakistani security forces,
leaked US government les allegedly
revealed yesterday.
Wikileaks documents show American
diplomats were aware Bin Laden was
eluding capture because he was being
tipped off about potential US operations.
The claims will further undermine trust
in Pakistans willingness to join the
international ght against Al Qaeda.
Last year David Cameron told Pakistan it
could not look both ways on terrorism.
He warned: It is not right to have any
relationship with groups that are
promoting terror.
At the time, the Pakistani government
issued a strongly-worded rebuttal.
The US was warned in 2009 by the
government of Tajikistan of potential
security leaks. It claimed that many
inside Pakistan knew where Bin Laden was.
The Tajik le reportedly stated:
Whenever security forces attempted a raid
on his hideouts, the enemy received warning
from sources in the security forces.
The Pakistani authorities claim they did
not know Bin Laden was in the country and
were not told about the US operation.

PoliLical CorrespondenL
FRESH anger erupted yesterday
over Britains 650million aid gift
to Pakistan after it emerged that
Osama Bin Laden had been living
there.
David Cameron sparked
dismay last month when he
announced the massive handout
on the eve of tax rises and benet
cuts in Britain.
The Prime Minister also prom-
ised the Pakistani security serv-
ices, which are widely blamed for
funding and arming the Taliban
highly sensitive military technol-
ogy to combat roadside bombs.
The gesture came after Mr
Cameron sparked a diplomatic
rift last year when he accused
Pakistan of looking both ways
on terrorism.
But the act of nancial goodwill
was met with anger last night in
the wake of the Al Qaeda leaders
assassination.
Tory MP Philip Davies, who
criticised the aid payment when
it was announced in April, said:
It is extraordinary to give 650
million of taxpayers money to a
country that at best is facing both
ways and at worst harbouring the
worlds worst terrorist.
The huge cash injection by the
Department for International
Development will make Pakistan
the UKs biggest recipient of over-
seas aid.
The package is designed to get
four million of the 17 million
children who currently receive no
schooling into the classroom.
Pakistan spends just 1.5 per
cent of its national income on
schools but is placing billion-
pound orders for six Chinese sub-
marines and 36 ghter aircraft.
Mr Cameron defended the pay-
ments at the time, saying: If
Pakistan is a success well have a
good friend to deal with.
If we fail well have all the
problems of migration, of extrem-
ism problems that we dont
want to see, so its in our interest
that Pakistan succeeds.
The cash will come on top of
the existing 140million annual
aid commitment to Pakistan and
means Britain will be sending
about 350million a year over the
next four years. Three months
ago, the Government announced
an extra 1billion for India over
the same period.
Britains overall foreign aid
budget is on course to rise
from 7billion this year to about
11billion in 2015.
The Department for Interna-
tional Development is one of the
few Whitehall departments pro-
tected from spending cuts.
International Development
Secretary Andrew Mitchell said
earlier this year: Britain will be
much tougher in the way it deliv-
ers aid, ensuring it reaches more
people in the poorest parts of the
world.
However, he has slashed the
number of nations receiving aid
from 43 to just over 20.
Mr Mitchell has already
announced that aid programmes
for Russia, China, Vietnam, Cam-
bodia, Serbia and Moldova will be
scrapped.
But some countries, including
Ethiopia and Zimbabwe, will
receive much more cash.

THE discovery that Osama
Bin Laden was living in a
wealthy suburb near the
equivalent of Sandhurst
could not have been more
embarrassing for the
Pakistan government.
It simply fuels
suspicions in the West
that at the very least rogue
elements of Pakistans
Inter-Services Intelligence
had been harbouring him.
For years US and Allied
troops scoured the caves
of Afghanistan and the
mountains on the Pakistan
border. Yet it now turns out
Bin Laden had been holed
up in Abbottabad, 50 miles
from the capital Islamabad.
The very fact that the US
only told Pakistan after the
raid underlines their lack
of trust in a supposed ally.
It stems from long-term
links between the ISI, the
Taliban and Al Qaeda.
During the Soviet
occupation of Afghanistan
the CIA used the ISI to
reach the mujahideen
resistance, whose leaders
included Bin Laden. But
when the Soviets left, the
ISI retained its links to the
mujahideen, including the
groups that became the
Taliban.
The suspicion that
rogue elements of the ISI
stood by their old friends,
including Bin Laden, has
been underlined by claims
that Dawood Ibrahim, the
alleged mastermind of the
1993 terror attack on the
Mumbai Stock Exchange,
enjoyed ISI protection.
Pakistan has always
insisted it did not know of
Bin Ladens whereabouts
and pointed to its costly
war against pro-Taliban
tribesmen on the Afghan
border as proof of its
commitment to the war
against terror.
But these suspicions
will inevitably grow and
this in itself is a blow in
the war against terror.
Pakistan is a vital front
in this global war and it
now appears that it cannot
be relied upon.

Evil No2 tipped
to win struggle
for power at top
Terrorist commanders Saif al-Adel, left, and Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, above Al Qaeda No 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri beside the terror mastermind Bin Laden
9pAf_e:_XgdXe
THE death of terror mastermind
Osama Bin Laden leaves a power
struggle at the heart of Al Qaeda.
Security experts fear extremists
will strike back in revenge attacks as
four leading extremists now ght to
be the new Bin Laden
Al Qaedas current No2 Egyptian-
born doctor Ayman al-Zawahiri is
expected by many experts to
succeed Bin Laden immediately.
He has worked in the Al Qaeda
organisation since its inception and
is often described as the brains of
the terror group and the September
11 attacks on the US.
The Islamist extremist has been
Al Qaedas most public face since
2001, repeatedly denouncing the US
and its allies in video messages.
He was born into an upper-class
family of scholars and doctors in
Cairo and he has devoted his life to
Islamic theology, history, and jihad.
He graduated from Cairo Univer-
sitys medical school in 1974 and
obtained a masters degree in surgery
four years later. But he turned from
saving lives to taking lives.
He rose to prominence when he
was tried with other radical Islam-
ists for the 1981 assassination of
President Anwar Sadat during a
Cairo military parade.
Al-Zawahiri served three years for
illegal possession of arms. After his
release, he left for Saudi Arabia
before travelling to Pakistan and
Afghanistan, where he set up a
faction of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad
group. He met Bin Laden in the mid-
1980s when both were in Pakistan to
support guerrillas ghting the
Soviets in Afghanistan.
Saif al-Adel is a senior member of
Al Qaedas military committee. He
is an ex-colonel in the Egyptian
army special forces and is accused of
helping to mastermind the 1998 US
embassy bombings in Kenya and
Tanzania. He is also suspected of
teaching militants to use explosives
and training some of the September
11 hijackers, and is thought to have
set up a training facility in Somalia.
There has been speculation that
he has ed Afghanistan to live in
Iran. He has been on the FBIs list of
most wanted terrorists since 2001.
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith was born in
Kuwait and regarded as a spokes-
man for Al Qaeda.
He has appeared on several video
and audio tapes, claiming responsi-
bility for terrorist attacks.
The former religious studies
teacher rst came to prominence
during the 1991 Gulf war when he
denounced the invasion of Kuwait
by Saddam Hussein.
In 2000 he left Kuwait for Afghani-
stan, where he met Bin Laden and
joined Al Qaeda. He has been used
by Al Qaeda to widen its appeal from
ultra-conservative and mostly eld-
erly clerics to a younger audience.
American-born terror preacher
Anwar al-Awlaki is one of the most
wanted men in the world, high on
the CIAs kill or capture list.
He is said to be hiding in Yemen
after being linked to a series of plots
against the US, three September 11
hijackers and to Fort Hood shooter,
Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who
emailed al-Awlaki before the attack.

Hate cleric threatens new 7/7
as world fears brutal backlash
Pampered son of billionaire builder
;<8K?F=8DFEJK<I
TERROR chief Osama Bin Laden has been the
inspiration for numerous plots to commit
atrocities on British soil.
The attacks on Londons Underground in July
2005 were the horric result of his call for a
holy war, and shoe bomber Richard Reid was
also deeply involved with Al Qaeda.
US ofcials think the ex-convict, of Bromley,
Kent, was a trusted agent for Bin Laden. Reid,
28, is in a Boston jail after trying to set light to
his shoes packed with home-made explosives
on a ight from Paris to Miami. Bin Ladens
attack on New York
in 2001 inspired a
series of race-hate
clerics in London,
including Abu
Hamza al-Masri,
jailed for inciting
murder and racial
hatred. Scotland
Yard questioned him
on suspicion of
bomb plots in Yemen
and he praised the
New York attack at
Finsbury Park
Mosque in 2002.
In 2007 the trial of
the London bombers
was told several had
heard Abu Hamza
preach at the
mosque. The US said Abu Hamza was a
terrorist facilitator with a global reach and he
was arrested for extradition. He was tried and
jailed in the UK in 2006.
Despite claiming to hate the West, Bin Laden
sought asylum in Britain in 1995. He visited
London in 1994 to set up an ofce called the
Advisory and Reformation Committee and had
been an Arsenal supporter since the 1970s.
Bin Ladens brothers and other relatives also
owned properties in London by the mid-1990s.
His links sparked calls in the US to add Britain
to its black list of states sponsoring terrorism,
but the Home Ofce banned him from the UK.

Hate cleric Abu Hamza
Bin Ladens former Afghan home yesterday
Armed police on patrol outside Heathrow airport yesterday amid fears of possible revenge attacks
BRITAIN is more likely to face
another 7/7 terrorist attack than
ever before, a radical Muslim
preacher warned yesterday.
Anjem Choudary, the former
UK leader of the banned al-
Muhajiroun organisation, said
the death of Osama Bin Laden
would inspire his followers to
step up their attacks against
the West.
Choudary, whose group
Muslims Against Crusades
threatened to disrupt the Royal
Wedding last week, said: I think
Britain is more likely to face a
7/7 today than ever.
Rather than dampening the
spirits of those who are today
engaged in jihad physically
around the world, Bin Ladens
death will merely act as an
incentive to prove to the world
that the death of anyone will
not affect them.
Describing Bin Laden as a
hero to jihadists, rebrand
Choudary predicted more
attacks in Iraq, Afghanistan and
elsewhere as a result of his
death.
He said: Undoubtedly, I think
there will be an incentive now to
say to the world that the jihad is
not about one individual and
the jihad never stops.
The message that people are
very eager to send out is that
there are many Muslims who
are a part of Al Qaeda and the
struggle will continue.
Yesterday security experts
warned that fanatics would be
seeking revenge for Bin Ladens
death and that the UK was high
on their list of targets.
Politicians, security chiefs and
Islamic leaders called on the
public to be extra vigilant in
their day-to-day life.
Foreign Secretary William
Hague said Al Qaeda was still
in business and warned the
country would need to be
vigilant for some time to
come.
He said: There may be parts
of Al Qaeda that will try to show
that they are in business in the
coming weeks, as indeed some
of them are.
So I have already asked our
embassies to review their secu-
rity to make sure that vigilance
is heightened.
David Cameron and Labour
leader Ed Miliband also stressed
the need for vigilance against
the ongoing terrorist threat.
Mohammed Shaq, chief
executive of UK Muslim think-
tank the Ramadhan Founda-
tion, said: There will be a need
for calm and extra vigilance and
that time is now.
Britains threat level is already
at severe the second-highest
level and will be raised to criti-
cal if the intelligence services
fear an attack is imminent.
Every police force in the coun-
try will be warned to be alert,
while airports and other trans-
port systems will be put on
heightened security.
British targets abroad will
also be urged to stay vigilant.
John Gearson, director of the
Centre for Defence Studies at
Kings College London, said: I
would expect embassies and
military bases around the world
to be on high alert for some
time.
There will be concerns that
there could be some sort of
retaliation, that Al Qaeda may
well want to demonstrate that
they are still strong and still in
the game.
The danger is that the Amer-
icans may lose their focus, that
they will relax and that will pro-
vide an opportunity for the rem-
nants of Al Qaeda to reform and
grow stronger.
Colonel Richard Kemp, com-
mander of British forces in
Afghanistan in 2003, suggested
the Taliban could now look to
Bin Ladens deputy, Ayman al-
Zawahiri, for leadership.
He said: I dont suppose they
will manage a major attack but
they will undoubtedly try and
strike back in some form in the
short term.
Security experts say the
threat comes not just from Al
Qaeda but also from its afliate
groups and from lone wolf ter-
rorists whose attacks are virtu-
ally impossible to predict.
One security source said:
Disrupting the terrorists before
they can get anywhere close to
carrying out attacks has proved
to be extremely effective in the
past.
The police and intelligence
services will have to use all the
methods at their disposal to
combat this heightened
threat.

HE was a Saudi builders son who
used his familys wealth to build
the worlds most feared terrorist
network.
But long before he became the
worlds most wanted man, few
could imagine that the pampered
Riyadh schoolboy would one day
be regarded by billions as the per-
sonication of evil.
He was born in the Saudi Ara-
bian capital in 1957, 17th of more
than 50 children born to his Yem-
eni father Mohamed, a self-made
billionaire building contractor.
Bin Ladens father died when
the boy was 11 and he grew up
with his mother and stepfather.
He was schooled in the port city
of Jedda at the elite Al Thagher
Model School, where he fell under
the inuence of teachers who
were members of the hardline
Muslim Brotherhood.
In the mid-1970s, Bin Laden
married his rst cousin, a Syrian
from his mothers family. He later
married three other women and
fathered up to 25 children.
He graduated from King Abdul
Aziz University in Jedda in 1979
with a degree in civil engineering.
A few months later he left Saudi
Arabia to join the Afghan resist-
ance the mujahideen to the
Soviet Unions invasion of Afghan-
istan. By 1986 he had proved him-
self as a ghter and risen to the
rank of commander.
It was also the year he met
Egyptian militant Ayman al-
Zawahiri, whose teachings inu-
enced him deeply. Two years later,
Bin Laden formed Al Qaeda
Arabic for the base.
It was a network for funding
the battle against the Soviets and
channelling ghters to Afghani-
stan until the wars end in 1989.
Using his familys wealth his
personal fortune was estimated
at several hundred million pounds
he developed Al Qaeda into a
militant international network.
In 1989, he returned to Saudi
Arabia a hero and began working
for the family construction rm.
But after he joined the move-
ment opposing the Saudi monar-
chy he was stripped of citizenship
and ed in 1991, rst to Afghani-
stan, then to Sudan. In 1996 he
was expelled after nancing ter-
rorist camps and threatened holy
war on the US if it did not remove
its troops from the Gulf.
In 1998 he issued a fatwa calling
on Muslims to kill Americans,
including civilians, anywhere in
the world. Al Qaeda bombed US
embassies in East Africa in 1998
and attacked the USS Cole in
2000. Then came the attacks on
New York on September 11, 2001.
In 2002 he threatened Britain,
among other nations, for its sup-
port of the US, saying: It is time
we get even. You will be killed just
as you kill, and will be bombed
just as you bomb.
Through it all, he vowed: Amer-
ica cant get me alive. I can be
eliminated, but not my mission.

ised the raid at about the very time that
Prince William and Kate Middleton were
getting married on Friday.
It was at 8.20am that morning that Mr
Obama met Thomas Donilon, his
national security adviser, and John O.
Brennan, his counterterrorism adviser,
in addition to other senior aides in the
Diplomatic Room at the White House.
The President was travelling to
Alabama later that morning to see the
damage from last weeks tornadoes.
But rst he had to sign off on the nal
plan to send special forces operatives
into the compound where intelligence
reports suggested Bin Laden was hid-
ing. Across the Atlantic, William and
Kate were at that very moment starting
their celebrations after marrying in
Westminster Abbey.
Personal security expert and former
undercover investigator Kenn Grifths
said: I was looking for the security rea-
sons behind the happy couples decision
not to leave the UK at this time and Ive
no doubt that the Bin Laden operation
in Pakistan was part of that reason.
Mr Grifths, a former soldier and
author of The Essential Survival Man-
ual, added: Bin Laden has had years to
plan for his death and Im sure there
will be a terrorist backlash, planned by
him to terrorise the world on an unprec-
INTELLIGENCE experts yesterday
claimed the military operation that
killed Osama Bin Laden might have
been behind the decision by the Duke
and Duchess of Cambridge to delay
their honeymoon.
There was widespread surprise on
Saturday when, just 24 hours after the
Royal Wedding, the couple revealed they
were returning to Anglesey so William
could continue his duties as an RAF
helicopter pilot.
But following news of the US opera-
tion in Pakistan, military analysts yes-
terday said there might have been more
to the decision than simply the Princes
wish to adhere to his duty.
Professor Anthony Glees, director of
the Centre for Security and Intelligence
Studies at the University of Bucking-
ham, said the military action could have
been directly behind the couples deci-
sion to remain in the UK.
I would not be surprised if the reason
the royal honeymoon was put off had to
do with forewarning that this might be
happening and that security for the
young couple could not be guaranteed
at this moment in time, he said.
The Government would probably
have been told that now would not be a
good time for the royal couple to travel
off to the other side of the world.
Clearly, wherever they would be
going, they would be outside the ring of
steel that the authorities could provide
for them in the UK.
Reports in the United States suggest
that President Barack Obama author-
edented scale. A Palace spokesman
last night played down the speculation,
stressing that William and his bride had
made their personal decision to stay
in the country weeks ago.
The possible destination of the royal
couples honeymoon has been the sub-
ject of much speculation.
The Duke is known to have a deep
affection for Africa and would be on safe
romantic territory if he chose to take his
wife to Kenya, where he proposed to her
last year. Jordan, where Kate spent two
years with her family as a child, has also
been touted as a possibility, but its
proximity to hotspots such as Syria
could count against it. If they are keen
to escape the media, a secluded Carib-
bean island might be a safe choice.
Bequia and Necker Island both have the
benet of being easily secured, as does
the ultra-exclusive Mustique, where
Kates parents are frequent visitors.
Lizard Island, off the coast of Queens-
land, Australia, has also emerged as a
contender.
The couple were understood to be
back at their home in Anglesey last
night after spending three days relaxing
at a hideaway in Britain.
William is expected back at work
today.
PRINCE William plans to
take his new wife on a tour of
New Zealand and Australia
in the next few months to
introduce her to the two
Commonwealth countries.
St Jamess Palace is in
talks with the governments
of both nations about the
trip, expected to happen in
September or October.
Final details have not been
agreed but the new Duke
and Duchess of Cambridge
hope to be in New Zealand
for part of the Rugby World
Cup which runs from
September 9 to October 23.
They are also planning a
short visit to Australia
around the same time.
Buckingham Palace and
St Jamess Palace have
discussed sending them to
Perth in Western Australia to
coincide with the Queens
visit there for the biennial
Commonwealth Heads of
Government Meeting from
October 28 to 30.
A senior royal source said:
The question is, will that
enhance the Queens visit
and enhance the image of
the Commonwealth, or will it
become a circus that takes
attention away from
CHOGM?
The Queen usually spends
two or three days in the host
nation before the summit
starts. So it is possible the
couple could visit Australia
immediately after the rugby
world cup nal, just before
the summit. William, 28, has
built an afnity with the two
and well hopefully
encourage her to come and
visit us sometime very soon,
so that was great.
One potential problem is
that a general election is due
in New Zealand on
November 26 and, by
convention, royal visits do
not take place in
Commonwealth nations in
the run-up to elections.
Opposition leaders fear Mr
Key will use William and
Kates visit to boost his
popularity. He has said the
couple can skirt convention
by making their trip private
rather than ofcial.
An autumn tour would
make it unlikely that William
would be posted to the
Falklands in September for
10 weeks military service, as
was claimed yesterday.

UST how jubilant
should we be about the
death of Osama Bin
Laden? Well, theres no
doubt that a murdering
monster has been
destroyed, that the forces who
are ghting the War on Terror
will get a boost to their morale
and that President Obama and
others will trumpet it as hard
as possible but what are the
longer-term implications?
Five or six years ago you
could buy nodding dolls of Bin
Laden, comedian Frank Skin-
ner mocked him in song and no
self-respecting dissident would
be without a T-shirt adorned
with his face. But there had
been no live broadcast from
him for years and while he was
mentioned on Islamist web-
sites it was with distant respect
rather than fervour.
In fact hes always been more
icon than executive (remember
the stories about how delighted
but surprised he was over the
success of 9/11?) and his assas-
sination was always going to
make him a martyr.
So what will Al Qaeda and its
afliates do now? A few weeks
ago I was researching the pos-
sible use of nuclear weapons by
terrorists and was left in no
doubt that Al Qaeda had every
intention of using such mate-
rial if they could get it.
Whether they do possess
such things is a moot point but
the websites shrieked that they
would certainly be used in the
event of the assassination of
The Sheikh. I wonder, but it
does point to a real desire for
high-prole revenge and that
couldnt come at a more deli-
cate time.
K

HE recent turmoil in the
Arab world has been
largely free of Islamist
extremist involvement. Indeed,
you could say that the inability
of Al Qaeda to inuence events
in Egypt marks a signal failure
for them as this was where their
twisted ideology was born.
Egyptian president Hosni
Mubarak, the Near Enemy,
was to be toppled for his truce
with Israel but in the event Al
Qaeda had neither involvement
in his removal nor any place in
what replaced him at least
not yet.
But were only glimpsing
what these countries might
look like in years to come. What
we dont need is an Al Qaeda
that has been stung into fur-
ther action, nor do we need its
internal factions scrambling to
attain power via spectacular
attacks.
Take Yemen, for example.
That country is in chaos and
the parasite within it Al
Qaeda in the Arabian Penin-
sula will mount further
assaults such as the ink car-
tridge bombs at East Midlands
Airport last October to rein-
force their position, I have no
doubt.
The biggest problem though
is Pakistan. It is important to
remember that the regional
war that stretches from the
borders of nuclear-armed Rus-
sia through Afghanistan and on
to Iran has Pakistan at its
centre. The alliance between
Islamabad and the West has
always been wobbly with as
much suspicion focusing upon
its internal intelligence agency,
the ISI, as it does upon Al
Qaeda and the Taliban.
The fact that Osama was
killed in a substantial villa that
was apparently built specially
for him only 35 miles north of
the capital and on the edge of a
military town will not have
helped to cement condence.
Wasnt he meant to be trot-
ting about on a donkey, shuf-
ing from cave to cave on the
lawless Afghani border watched
by satellites and harried by
drones instead of living in luxury
and, until yesterday, safety?
Yet every day Pakistan is
rocked by Islamist attacks that
kill dozens of people and its
troops take the worst casual-
ties of the War on Terror while
Al Qaeda tries to foment con-
ict between Pakistan and
India.
Certainly Islamabads posi-
tion is ambivalent but recently
it has allowed a four-fold
increase of US drone attacks
from Pakistani airspace that
have accounted for many key
Al Qaeda and Taliban deaths.
The added turmoil that Bin
Ladens destruction (carried
out by US forces within Paki-
stans borders) is bound to
cause will only put increased
and unwelcome pressure on
President Zardari to reassert
his independence.
8

ND of course events in
Pakistan will be
reected in Britain.
The most recent successful ter-
rorist attacks in this country
were mounted by men who had
schemed amid and leeched
upon our own Pakistani com-
munity.
The fact that we have not
suffered any casualties on our
streets since 2005 does not
mean, however, that the plot-
ters have gone away, rather it is
a mark of the competence of
our security forces.
Its a fact, for instance, that
40 per cent of Americas exter-
nal intelligence effort is directed
towards Islamist extremist
activity in Britain. Remember
how home-grown terrorists
plotted to seize American air-
liners ying out of Heathrow in
August 2006 and blow them up
in US airspace? That was
designed not only to kill but
also to fracture the relationship
between the Great and the
Little Satan, the US and UK in
the language of the radicalised.
Now British terrorists will be
looking to mark their icons
death with something similar.
This attack has been a great
success but only a fool cannot
see how difcult the backlash
is likely to be. Thats why our
leaders must be careful with
their words and not use such
incendiary phrases as cru-
sade as President Bush did,
nor crow about it as Obama is
in danger of doing.
The past few years have seen
real strides taken against our
enemies and many will hope
that the death of Bin Laden
will have decapitated the snake.
It hasnt: it has inicted
another grievous wound but
wounded animals are at their
most dangerous.

T IS usually thought unbecoming to
celebrate the death of another
human being but when the person in
question was the most murderous
terrorist mastermind in history those
rules of restraint should be suspended.
Let it be said openly: Osama Bin
Laden was an evil man responsible for
killing thousands of innocent people
and it is a thoroughly good thing that
he is dead.
While his assassination may provoke
further attacks by his followers, it is
hardly as if they were not planning more
terrorist assaults in any case that is
their very purpose just as it was his.
The ability of Bin Laden to repeatedly
evade the West undoubtedly elevated
him to the status of an unbeatable
superhero in the eyes of some in the
Muslim world.
So for those who believe in freedom it
is a major morale boost that the leader
and instigator of Al Qaeda is no more,
indicating that the free world has the
capacity to hunt down its enemies, no
matter how long it may take.
New Al Qaeda leaders will emerge
because the ideology it propounds still,
alas, has many fanatical supporters.
But the removal of an enemy who
bankrolled and directed global Islamist
terrorism has brought justice to the
families of those who died in the
atrocities he inspired. Osama Bin
Laden could run but history will record
that in the end he could not hide.
K
AXPAYERS will today be even
more bewildered at the decision,
made last month, to give an extra
650million in aid to Pakistan.
At the time the Prime Minister said it
was aimed at tackling poor schooling,
which he said was a root cause of
Islamic extremism.
That looks even more pie in the sky
following the tracking down of Osama
Bin Laden to a purpose-built
compound next to a Pakistan military
base.
The political and military elite in
Pakistan are by no means poorly
educated but that has not stopped
them falling into the grip of Islamist
sympathisers.
Until they can prove they will give no
quarter to Al Qaeda not a penny of
British money should line their pockets.

noisy minority may still sneak a
thoroughly undeserved triumph.

ARENT you fascinated by the
relationship between Sir Trevor
Nunn, 71, and Nancy DellOlio
49? Sir Trevors wife Imogen
Stubbs (50) read English
Literature at Oxford.
She is clever, beautiful, the
mother of his children and an
accomplished actress. Ms
DellOlio, on the other hand, is
what exactly?
She is known for the high-
prole men with whom she
consorts, authoring an
autobiography in which she
gloats about seducing Sven-
Goran Eriksson when she knew
he was married and for wearing
ashy outts. Men clearly see
something in her. My ladylike
upbringing prevents me from
suggesting what.
LEGGINGS are a guilty pleasure.
We know we look like over-
stuffed sausages in them. Were
aware that they cling to all our
least attractive bits. We know
wed look so much better in
something tailored and
atteringly cut to enhance our
less offensive features.
Yet we are drawn inexorably to
leggings, wooed by the sheer
pleasure of pulling on a garment
so forgiving itll neither pinch
nor rub no matter how unbridled
our lunch. So scant thanks to the
expert who warned that wearing
leggings causes lazy muscles
and leaves legs and stomachs
abby. Some mercy please,
allow us to cherish our leggings
and focus your unwelcome
attentions elsewhere.
DID you see President Obama
mercilessly taking the mickey
out of Donald Trump in what
amounted to the roast to end all
roasts? The Donald was in turns
furious, embarrassed, livid and
fed up to the back teeth.
He seemed chronically
incapable of doing what was
required under the circumstances
smiling through the humiliation
and giving a convincing
impression of being a good
sport. Someone should have
given him a few lessons in
appearing self-deprecating and
oozing good humour when, deep
down, your ego is wilting.
A sulk is never a good look.
One-nil to President Obama.

A wedding with a
legacy for Britain
W
EVE heard a lot
about the Olym-
pic legacy but
while were still
blissfully basking
in the afterglow,
let us contemplate with opti-
mistic cheer the Royal Wed-
dings legacy. When the com-
memorative mugs are chipped
and the bunting stowed away
under the stairs what apart
from our glorious memories
will linger and remain?
Heres hoping for a lasting
change in our beauty ideal.
Every generation has its pet
picture of what constitutes
true beauty. For Chaucer, a
desirable woman boasted a
high, domed forehead, thin lips
and saucy gap between her
front teeth. For Botticelli she
had a swan-like neck, sloping
shoulders, alabaster skin and
high-set spherical breasts.
In the Twenties she was at-
chested and boyish with mar-
cel wave in her perky chin-
length hair and, if she was a
little fast, subtly rouged knees.
By the Fifties she was soignee
and sophisticated, complete
with elegant chignon and ciga-
rette holder. We all know Twig-
gys freckly gawky coltishness
embodied all that was care-
free, youthful and delicious
about Sixties woman.
Before the wedding Cheryl
Cole could be said to encapsu-
late all that we considered
beautiful. We thrilled to hair
extensions, false eyelashes,
acrylic nails, perma-tan, lip-
gloss like strawberry jam, acres
of visible cleavage and teeny-
tiny legs balanced atop poten-
tially lethal seven-inch heels.
Women the length and breadth
of the country did their best to
do a Cheryl. Neon orange
skin, fake nylon follicles, talons
and dazzlingly bleached teeth
became the ultimate aesthetic
aspiration.
Every female in the surpris-
ing TV success The Only Way
Is Essex is a living breathing
homage to the Cheryl Cole
school of beauty. It seemed
there was no other desirable
way for a woman to appear.
After the wedding we feel
very differently. Catherine Mid-
dleton as a bride was the
antithesis of all that we
thought we found beautiful.
She was modestly dressed.
She wore minimal understated
make-up. Her bouncy brunette
hair owed with its usual infor-
mal exuberance. She was pink
with excitement, not Jaffa
orange. Her eyes shone with
happiness. She was slim as a
wand but oozing the vitality of
an outdoorsy young woman
who enjoys a hearty breakfast.
S

UDDENLY scales fell
from our eyes. We
realised that what we
had thought exquisite was
somewhat tawdry and more
than a tad vulgar.
In Catherine, Duchess of
Cambridge, we saw the real
thing. Her beauty, echoing her
mother Caroles slender grace
and elegance, was as sustain-
ing and nourishing as a Con-
stable painting or an Elgar
cello concerto.
She is a refreshing aesthetic
role model in whom we can all
revel and rejoice. May she and
her handsome Prince live hap-
pily ever after.

GARDENERS will have nodded with approval at father of the
bride Michael Middletons recipe for coming back to earth with
consummate serenity after all the fuss and frolics.
Mr Middleton was seen smiling and tranquil as he tackled
the lawn of the family home in Bucklebury atop his ride-on
motor mower. Setting about the pressing yet soothing familiar
Sunday afternoon task of mowing a lawn run riot is guaranteed
to calm even the most discombobulated soul.
As I re-potted my citrus plants and coaxed my rampant
clematis into submission, I noted that horticultural therapy was
working wonders at dispelling my Post Nuptial Depression.
Wise Michael Middleton (hasnt he a wonderful head of hair,
ladies?) evidently employed the same tried and tested method.

WHAT a shame it takes a royal
knees-up to persuade us to throw
street parties.
There were a urry of them round
our way and carousers were united
in roaring their approval. Theres
nothing more reassuringly neigh-
bourly than breaking bread, or in
our case chocolate fudge cake, with
your neighbours. Instead of being
unidentied irritants who slam
doors at dawn, play music you
loathe and scuttle past you in the
mist and rain, they become human
beings with names, personalities
and the ability to add hugely to the
bonhomie of your very existence.
Most of us arent hostile to those
who live cheek by jowl with us. Were
just so busy, harassed and frenzied
we dont have time for lifes niceties.
Fridays street jamborees proved
its well worth carving out a chunk
of time just to make the effort.

better a little light
whose one end slips into

have a housing problem, have slept
in separate rooms for decades.)
D

ARRIAGE, as the Arch-
bishop probably said, is a
marathon not a sprint and
as we get older our sleep patterns
change, possibly in opposite
directions. Husband
sleeps more than he
did; wife sleeps less.
Or vice versa. Hoov-
ering at 5am; water-
ing the garden at
5.30; Sudoku at six.
All these things can
come into play. Im
not much of a
sleeper myself: I
usually hear Sailing
By on the radio at
12.45am and Farming
Today at 5.45am which
for someone who has
rarely been on water and
almost never in a eld is
highly educational.
But I now learn it may not be alto-
gether healthy. Researchers at Uni-
versity College London have con-
ducted a many-years-long study into
sleep patterns and their effects.
Six to eight hours a night is the
ideal. If thats what youre used to
and you start to deviate from it in
either direction as you get older that
may not be entirely good news. Much
less sleep increases the risk of heart
disease because sleep is a relaxant to
the system; a lot more sleep is likely
to lead to a slowing down in your
mental functions. Too little sleep is a
brain-addler too. If your sleep is off,
your mind may become four to seven
years older than its real age.
So if you havent understood this
article so far it may be because you
are getting too much sleep or else
that Im not getting enough (more
likely the latter).
Allow me to add a footnote here:
this research was conducted on 5,400
civil servants over many years. I am
not a neurologist (or at least not as
far as I can remember) but it does
occur to me that if youre not a civil
servant these results may not be rel-
evant. (I am not a civil servant either
and never could have been.)
Now you mustnt worry
about this or resort to
taking lots of pills you
dont already take
because its all just
statistics and these
changes affect a
smallish minority
of the sample. I
am sure there are
plenty of civil serv-
ants who spend all
day sleeping on the
job and are still bright
as buttons when theyre
awake.
I dont really know how
my brain is working and
I certainly do not intend
to take any tests to nd out. In any
case, my own research (conducted
on a very small sample of one) sug-
gests that the strongest link with
sleeplessness is obesity. The less
you sleep, the more time you have
to eat.
When Barbra Streisand was mar-
ried to actor Elliott Gould they had
his and hers fridges beside the bed.
This is a disastrous idea to be avoided
at all costs. If you tend to binge in
the small hours, dont keep food by
the bed and dont summon the foot-
man. Make the effort to make your
way to the kitchen. It may at least
burn off a calorie or two.

F
NE of the best things about the Royal Wedding is that
William and Catherine have probably been sleeping
together for years. So they will already know one of the
key elements of a happy married life they can sleep
together. And this is no mealy-mouthed attempt to say
something else without using the word. By sleeping
together I mean sleeping together to snore or not to snore?
Do they get equal shares of the duvet (or has she only got equal
shares since Friday)? Are they as one about eating Duchy Origi-
nals shortbread in bed? Is it windows open or windows closed?
And if theyre listening to Radio 4 at 1am and God Save The
Queen comes on, do they both leap out of bed and stand to
attention or does she feel she should but he doesnt need to?
When it comes down to it, these are the sorts of things that
make a real difference in the lives of the highest and the lowest

THE bitter row surrounding this
Thursdays referendum on electoral reform
may have been getting plenty of politicians
hot under the collar but the majority of the
British public remain detached from the
whole affair.
With the Yes to AV campaign, fronted by
Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg, already
known to be trailing their No rivals in the
polls, insiders tell me plans had been in
place for a big media push on bank
holiday Monday, only for the strategy to be
scuppered following the death of Osama
Bin Laden.
There was no point competing with the
Royal Wedding but bank holiday Monday
had long been identied as the ideal day to
get on peoples televisions before they
went back to work, says one well-placed
Yes campaign mole.
Then we had a load of interviews
cancelled due to the Bin Laden news.
CYNICS suggest that former Blairite favourite
James Purnells decision to emerge from the
shadows and front a new movement of Labour
modernisers came only
after he couldnt nd
anything more useful to do.
Party colleagues remind
me that Purnell, pictured,

NEW Alzheimers drugs that will
delay the disease for ve times
longer than current treatment
could be available within a dec-
ade, a leading scientist will claim
today.
Six drugs already licensed for
other conditions are to be tested
to see if they could treat the
changes that occur in the brain in
Alzheimers.
Scientists hope the medicines
will slow down progress of
the disease, which can lead to
memory loss and sufferers being
unable to walk, speak and swallow.
The Alzheimers Society
scheme has won backing from
campaigner and Downton Abbey
creator Julian Fellowes.
Lord Fellowes of West Stafford
will today host a launch recep-
tion at the House of Lords, joined
by the broadcaster Fiona Phil-
lips, a fellow Alzheimers Society
ambassador.
Lord Fellowes said: This pro-
gramme is more than a ray of
hope for 750,000 people with
dementia, their carers and
families.
At a time when the number of
people with this condition is
rising it is wonderful to see the
Alzheimers Society striding
ahead in the race to nd a cure
and new treatments.
Experts estimate that half of
the 17billion spent on Alzheim-
ers each year in the UK could be
saved if patients developed the
disease ve years later than they
do now.
Jeremy Hughes, chief execu-
tive of the Alzheimers Society,
said: This is an exciting day in
the race to nd new treatments
and eventually a cure. There are
not enough clinical trials for
dementia in the UK, which is why
Alzheimers Society is respond-
ing by launching Drug Discovery.
We need 4,000 every day for
the next 10 years for the rst
phase of this ground-breaking
initiative and we are asking all
those concerned with dementia
to help us raise this.
Most studies suggest that the
earlier patients can be given
drugs and therapy to prevent
memory loss, the more effective
these treatments are in slowing
down progress of the disease.
More than 750,000 people in
the UK suffer from dementia and
around 450,000 have the most
common form, Alzheimers. Char-
ities and doctors fear that as the
population grows older, the
number of cases will spiral, at a
cost of millions of pounds.
The charity has examined 30
drugs used to tackle illnesses as
diverse as heart disease, infection
and inammation and shortlisted
six for further study.
The 15million Drug Discovery
Programme will explore at least
three of the drugs over the next
10 years, and hold clinical trials.
It costs about 613million and
takes 20 years to deliver a new
treatment from scratch. Testing
existing drugs is more time and
cost-effective.
Ms Phillips said: I know from
caring for both my mum and
my dad the devastating impact
that dementia can have on the
person living with the condition
and their families. Investing in
treatment development has to be
a priority. Lord Fellowes is hosting launch

9pAfN`cc\p PEOPLE who pile on
weight in middle age are
at risk of developing
dementia as they grow
older, a study has found.
This is just the latest
age-related illness to be
associated with obesity.
Researchers believe it
further emphasises the
importance of watching
your weight to minimise
future health problems.
Study author Dr Weili
Xu, said: Currently, 1.6
billion adults are over-
weight or obese world-
wide and over 50 per cent
of adults in the United
States and Europe t into
this category.
Our results contribute
to the growing evidence
that controlling body
weight or losing weight in
middle age could reduce
your risk of dementia.
Researchers studied
8,534 pairs of twins age 65
or older. Of those, 350
were diagnosed with
dementia and 114 had
possible dementia.
Information on each
participants height and
weight had been taken 30
years earlier.
Nearly 30 per cent had
been either overweight or
obese during middle age.
The study found that
people who were over-
weight or obese at mid-life
had an 80 per cent higher
risk of developing demen-
tia, Alzheimers disease or
vascular dementia in later
life compared with people
with normal body mass
index. The results
remained the same after
considering other factors,
such as education, diabe-
tes and vascular disease.
A quarter of those with-
out dementia had been
overweight in mid-life,
compared with more than
a third of those with
questionable dementia.
It also emerged that 39
per cent of those with
diagnosed dementia were
overweight in mid-life.
Only three per cent of
those with no dementia
had been obese in mid-
life, compared with ve
per cent of those with
questionable dementia
and seven per cent of
those with diagnosed
dementia.
The study, carried out
at the Karolinska Insti-
tutet in Stockholm,
Sweden, was published in
the journal Neurology.

FEISTY author Jackie Collins has
issued an attack on misery memoirs,
chick lit and vampire novels which
depict women as victims.
Jackie, 73, who is renowned for her
powerful glitzy heroines, says times
have not changed for the better in the
book charts. When I grew up all the
women (in novels) were having
nervous breakdowns in Harrods and
waiting for some man to marry them.
The London-born writer, who now
lives in Beverly Hills, rants on: Then
we went on to chick lit and all the
women were looking in the mirror to
see if they had spots or were too fat
and were waiting for some man to
marry them. Same thing.
Jackie, who has had eight of her 27
novels adapted for the screen, adds:
Then we moved on to vampires. All
girls wanted was to get bitten in the
neck by a vampire.
She says that despite her books
featuring sex and passionate affairs,
they always maintain a sense of
realism that is more useful to women.
Ive written books about real
people. Theyre certainly not
bonkbusters. Thats a word from the
Eighties. Its not all sex and mystery,
its relationships and people.
Meanwhile Jackie, whose latest
tome Goddess Of Vengeance was
released last month, says she enjoyed
her recent appearance on talk show
Piers Morgan Tonight with her sister,
actress Joan. He [Piers] had a little
bit of a crush on Joan but it was fun to
do and Joan and I went to dinner later.
We wanted to put to rest these stupid
rumours that we hate each other.

How 80m cost of Cleggs
poll hits public services
Bookies point to a No for Cleggs AV
9pDXikpe9ifne
Gfc`k`ZXc:fii\jgfe[\ek
THE 80million bill for Nick Cleggs
AV referendum has had to be met
by councils, despite the economic
crisis, it was claimed yesterday.
Figures show that the average
council will have splashed out the
equivalent of nearly 10 per cent of
its budget ahead of Thursdays
historic vote.
Critics say the money could have
been better used to protect public
services or cut the national budget
decit.
Mole Valley District Council in
Surrey has spent 127,501 on the
referendum, 22 per cent of the
566,817 budget cuts it is driving
through this year.
Both Durham County Council
and Birmingham City Council will
have spent almost 1million each.
There has been a groundswell of
support for the No To AV campaign
in recent weeks, with some polls
putting it at least 16 points ahead
of its rival.
Bookmaker Paddy Power said
the odds on a negative outcome
tumbled from 10/11 at the end of
February to 1/16 yesterday.
Ken Robertson from Paddy
Power said: From a betting point
of view the writing has been on the
wall for the AV issue for the past
couple of weeks, with 90 per cent of
all bets placed supporting the ref-
erendum to be rejected.
But details of the huge costs
involved to stage the referendum
will infuriate millions of hard-
pressed taxpayers.
Joan Ryan, deputy campaign
director of No To AV, said: The
Alternative Vote system is un -
wanted, unfair and on top of this
far too expensive at a time when
public nances are stretched.
The money being wasted on this
Lib Dem lifeboat would be better
spent protecting public services.
If you want to make sure that
AV doesnt cost any more than
it has done already, vote No on
Thursday.
The huge nancial burden comes
ahead of an expected nal week of
mud-slinging between the Tories
and Nick Cleggs Liberal Demo-
crats over the referendum. Lib Dem
Energy Secretary Chris Huhne
hurled more fuel onto the re over
the weekend when he claimed that
the Prime Minister was leading a
campaign based on made-up
facts more commonly seen in
American politics.
Tensions are expected to
heighten today as Paul Boateng,
former Labour MP and Chief Secre-
tary to the Treasury, joins the ght
against change.
In a speech at todays No To AV
One Person, One Vote he is
expected to say: For the last three
weeks Chris Huhne and his Lib
Dem colleagues have been telling
Labour supporters to vote Yes in
order to block the Conservatives.
The irony is overwhelming. A
Cabinet minister propping up a
Conservative Government imple-
menting Conservative policies is
trying to unite the Left.
If Chris Huhne nds the Tories
so distasteful, you have to ask, why
is he in government with them?

FAMILIES could face
fresh energy woes after
Britains largest
supplier warned it may
shut a major gas eld.
Centricas warning
follows the
Governments oil and
gas tax hike and
prompted fears of price
rises and the loss of
secure energy sources.
Centrica, which
owns British Gas, is
closing three elds in
Morecambe Bay,
Lancashire, for
maintenance.
It says it may not
reopen one of them
after supplementary
energy tax rose from
20 to 32 per cent in the
Budget. The eld
concerned is taxed at
81per cent of prots.
Instead the
company would
import gas when
needed, putting it at
the mercy of market
prices. It warned that
UK oil and gas
producers face some
of the highest taxes in
the world, making
prots marginal.
Shadow Chancellor
Ed Balls said that
because of the tax
raid, Britain risked
losing jobs,
investment and secure
energy supplies.
The warning came
as industry body Oil &
Gas UK said North
Sea oil platforms
could be taken out of
service prematurely as
companies lose tax
relief.
A WOMAN who left Britain to start a new
idyllic life in the Caribbean has been found
murdered.
Lianne Burns was discovered strangled
in her ocean-front apartment on the para-
dise island of St Maarten.
The apparently motiveless death of the
popular tourist manager has rocked the
close-knit community on the tiny and
remote tourist island.
Lianne, 43 known to friends and family
as Lee was said to be totally happy and
content working for a small company
that ferried tourists around the historic
sights of the French-Dutch controlled
territory.
Last night it emerged that police had
arrested a man, who it is understood knew
Ms Burns well, and were questioning him
on suspicion of murder.
In Britain, her family in Leigh-on-Sea,
Essex, have been left devastated.
Her identical twin sister, Lisa Burns, said:
The impact of Lees death has resonated
globally. So many people have been affected
in England.
The devastation in St Maarten where
the community saw her every day, has been
immense.
She added: Lee touched so many
peoples lives. I have lost a massive piece of
me.
Lees incredible personality, brilliant
sense of humour and zest for life had a mas-
sively positive effect on everyone she met,
wherever she was in the world.
We will be bringing Lee home when the
authorities allow and a service will be held
for family and friends locally.
Lee moved to St Maarten permanently
12 years ago after falling in love with the
island during an excur-
sion while working
aboard a cruise ship.
Each year she made
a point of returning to
visit friends and family
in Leigh-on-Sea.
She had previously
worked as a tness
instructor in nearby
Southend.
Her half-sister, Kim
Spooner, said: She
loved her life in St
Maarten she was
living in paradise.
Lees mother, Vivi-
enne Spooner, said:
We are in total shock.
We have lost an amaz-
ing daughter, sister
and friend.
We take huge com-
fort from the fact that
Lee was a free spirit
who lived life her way
and always to the
fullest.
We would like to
thank everyone who is
supporting us through
this dreadful time.

Foreign Ofce said:
We were made aware

N December 14, 2001, George
Bush was asked whether he
would prefer the US in vasion
force that had toppled the
Taliban government of
Afghanistan to capture
Osama Bin Laden or to kill him. I
dont care, he replied in his toughest
Texan drawl, sounding more like a
Wild West sheriff than the President
of the United States. Dead or alive,
its Either way. It doesnt matter to
me. But were going to get him.
In fact, the instructions that had
been given to agents hunting the
Al Qaeda leader were more explicit.
I dont want Bin Laden and his thugs
captured, the director of the CIAs
counter-terrorist centre had insisted.
I want them dead. I want Bin Lad-
ens head shipped back in a box lled
with dry ice. I want to be able to show
his head to the President.
At the time, the worlds most
wanted man was holed up in a net-
work of caves in Tora Bora, the harsh
mountain region to the south of Jala-
labad. He was resigned to his own
death he had told his son to shoot
him rather than let the Americans
take him alive. He had made his will.
Within days of that statement by
Bush, however, Bin Laden was walk-
ing over the rocky border into Paki-
stan. He had been allowed to escape
by a reluctance at the top of the US
chain of command to risk too many
American troops.
This failure, according to a damn-
ing US Senate report eight years later,
represented a lost opportunity that
forever altered the course of the con-
ict in Afghanistan and the future of
international terrorism. It would
take nearly 10 more years and a new
president in the White House before
the search nally ended.
Three weeks after 9/11 US forces
with British missile support invaded
Afghanistan, whose fundamentalist
Islamist government was accused of
harbouring Al Qaeda on its soil.
They quickly won control of at least
two-thirds of the country and thou-
sands of Al Qaeda ghters ed, some
into Pakistan and others to the
border region of Tora Bora. Here,
mujaheddin ghters, nanced by the
US to resist the Soviet occupation in
the Eighties, had developed a complex
network of caves. In the intervening
years Bin Laden, who had fought with
the mujaheddin, used his familys
engineering rm one of Saudi
Arabias wealthiest private compa-
nies to expand the network further.
Reports that the tunnels were wide
enough to drive tanks down and that
the underground complex included
a hospital, mosques and a hotel and
was comfortably carpeted, turned
out to be wildly exaggerated. Never-
theless, the caves represented a
formidable fortress. The entrances
were in narrow valleys overshadowed
by towering peaks and attacking air-
craft were vulnerable to sniper re
long before they came near. Further-
more the tunnels were so deep, sealed
with concrete and steel doors, that
not even bunker-busting 5,000lb
bombs could reach them.
The Russians had eventually
devised a way of dislodging the
mujaheddin with anti-tank mines
lowered on detonating cords, followed
by smoke pots. So when Bush started
to talk about smokin the terrorists
out, it was an accurate description of
the proposed strategy.
But it never happened. Both
General Tommy Franks, leader of US
Central Command, and Defence Sec-
retary Donald Rumsfeld rejected calls
to send troops to seal the border.
Instead, fewer than 100 special opera-
tions troops were detailed to work
with Afghan soldiers.
At a crucial moment in the siege,
Al Qaeda sent a message saying they
would surrender in the morning if
there was an overnight ceasere. The
US forces atly refused to comply
but the Afghan commanders agreed.
By morning, Bin Laden and the Al
Qaeda ghters had vanished. One
mujaheddin leader later put it: It
would have been easy to get Bin
Laden there. I dont know why there
was no plan to block the passes. And
why werent there more Americans?
Believe me, there were more journal-
ists than soldiers.
K
HE Americans were left clutch-

ing at the straws of rumour
and wishful thinking: Bin
Laden had died somewhere in the
mountains, or he was mortally ill with
kidney disease. These hopes were
confounded 11 months later when
the Al Qaeda leader released a tape
referring to the recent attacks in Bali,
Yemen and Moscow. Bin Laden
seemed to be alive and well.
There were suggestions that he had
got out of Pakistan by sea and had set
up camp in Yemen (his familys origi-
nal homeland), Somalia or Djibouti.
The more probable answer was that
he was still in northern Pakistan

SHOCK:
George
Bush
receives
the news of
the Twin
Towers
attack. It
was the
start of a
10-year
quest to
nd those
responsible
most likely in the wild tribal terri-
tory of Waziristan. In this semi-
autonomous area, tribesmen could
cross freely into Afghanistan but
US troops across the border were
forbidden under their rules of
engagement from following them
back into Pakistan.
Outsiders attempting to enter
certain Waziri valleys were killed,
their eyes gouged from their sock-
ets, their tongues ripped out and
notes pinned to their bodies saying
this was what happened to agents
working for the Americans. Notices
went up offering 600 for the head
of an Afghan working with the
Americans and 3,000 for a US sol-
dier. Such sums were a fraction of
the 15million put on Bin Ladens
head by the Americans but at least
it was possible to claim the smaller
rewards and live to tell the tale.
By 2003 the US was embroiled in
an ill-advised and ill-fated new con-
ict in Iraq. Bin Laden was report-
edly delighted. It would give him
a new breeding ground Al Qaeda
had no presence in Iraq before Bush
and Tony Blair invaded and it
meant US forces were distracted.
Bush stopped mentioning Bin
Laden and ofcials in Washington
tried to play the subject down. To
be honest, Im relatively relaxed
about the Bin Laden situation,
said the US State Departments
chief counter-terrorism strategist
in early 2007. Five years ago the
guy killed 3,000 people in New York
City; now he makes videos.
At least Bush faced up to the fail-
ure in his memoirs. I also knew I
was leaving behind unnished busi-
ness, he wrote, referring to his last
days in ofce in January 2009. I
wanted badly to bring Bin Laden
to justice. The fact that we did not
ranks among my great regrets. It
certainly wasnt for lack of effort.
His replacement in the White
House, Barack Obama, was a prom-
inent opponent of Bush and Blairs
adventure in Iraq and transferred
troops from there to Afghanistan.
He now says he ordered the CIA to
make the killing or capture of Bin
Laden its top priority.
The fullment of that order came
about through dogged detective
work. Ever since 9/11, the CIA had
been chasing leads relating to Bin
Ladens inner circle, particularly his
couriers. One of these couriers was
tracked down to an afuent area
north of Islamabad, the Pakistani
capital, two years ago, and last
August his precise address was
established. The compound in
Abbottabad was conspicuously
large and kitted out with tight secu-
rity. When the CIA learned that
there was a family living with the
courier, suspicion grew that this
might be Bin Ladens hideout.
By February detailed planning
began for a military raid. Obama
gave the nal go-ahead last Friday,
when much of the worlds attention
including Americas was focused
on the events in Westminster Abbey.
As we learned yesterday morning,
the operation achieved precisely
what it set out to do.
The big question now is not how
Bin Laden managed to escape
detection in the wild tribal valleys
but how he survived undetected
and unmolested for so long in an
ordinary Pakistani town.

Murder hunt after a family
of four is stabbed to death
Friends in tears yesterday outside the house where Alice Ding, inset, and her family died
The Dings home in a leafy Northampton suburb

9pJXiX;òfe
A MURDER investigation has
been launched after a university
lecturer, his wife and two young
daughters were stabbed to
death in their home.
Jifeng Ding, 46, a senior
lecturer at Manchester Metro-
politan University, and his wife
Helen were discovered down-
stairs in their detached house.
The bodies of their daughters
Nancy, 18, and Alice, 12, were
found upstairs.
Neighbours in Wootton, a
quiet suburb outside North-
ampton, alerted the authori-
ties after the family was not
spotted over the weekend.
The four bodies were
found on Sunday at around
6pm after police forced
entry to the house.
Yesterday the area outside
the property was cordoned off
as forensics ofcers worked to
establish the familys last
moments.
It is thought they may have
been dead for some time.
Mr Ding, known as Jeff, had
worked in the universitys chem-
ical and environmental science
department for the past 15
years.
His wife is understood to have
been a teacher at a school in
Northampton.
Their eldest daughter Nancy,
a sixth former at Northampton
School for Girls, was hoping to
go to Cambridge University. Her
sister Alice was a keen violinist
who often achieved top grades.
Detectives initially suspected
Mr Ding had killed his wife and
children before committing sui-
cide but that theory has been
discounted, while a botched
burglary is also thought unlikely.
Yesterday police revealed that
all four victims had died from
stab wounds but so far no
motive for the killings is known.
Detective Superintendent
Glyn Timmins, of Northamp-
tonshire Police, said: What we
can say is that the family have
died as a result of violence
inicted upon them.
Tearful teenagers left owers
at the familys home yesterday,
while shocked neighbours
expressed their horror at the
deaths.
Andrew Dixon said: This is
suburbia its not the Bronx. I
knew them as Jeff and Helen.
He was quiet but a well-to-do
man. This area is very Middle
England. You dont expect to
hear such tragic news happen-
ing in your own street.
Another neighbour said: This
is a nice area and the children
play out all the time. Nobody
saw or heard anything unu-
sual.
A friend of Nancy said: She
was an amazingly talented girl,
very clever and brilliant at
music. I cannot believe what
has happened. We are all totally
shocked. Its horrendous.

BRITAIN is on drought alert after
one of the driest springs on record,
prompting fears of a hosepipe ban.
Experts say there is little chance of
signicant rainfall over the next few
weeks after the driest March in more
than 50 years and the driest April for
more than 80 years.
And early forecasts for May suggest
a lower than average rainfall for most
of the UK with the dry and warm
weather set to go into June and July.
Reservoir levels have fallen prompt-
ing fears the Environment Agency
will be forced to bring in hosepipe
bans in the worst-affected areas.
Jonathan Powell, at Positive
Weather Solutions, described the
threat as very real. He said: There
will be some rain around, but nothing
of any signicance, with only average
or below average rainfall expected for
June and July.
The Environment Agency last night
played down concerns about a
summer hosepipe ban.
It said there had been 13 per cent
drop in the amount of rain over the
past three months, causing lower river
levels in some parts of the country.
The agency has warned people to
use water wisely.
However, agency bosses said most
reservoirs and aquifers were at nor-
mal levels for the time of year follow-
ing rainfall in January and February.
But they said farmers may be asked
to reduce the amount of water they
take from rivers.
Head of water resources, Trevor
Bishop, said: Hot dry spells are a
normal part of most years and the
Environment Agency, water compa-
nies and other water users such as
farmers and industry have developed
plans to cope with these without
restricting water use in the short
term.
Meanwhile, thousands are set to
return to work today after what has
been a two-week break for many
taking advantage of the unusually
close bank holidays and the Royal
Wedding. Most of the UK has had two
weeks of sunshine, with families head-
ing to the coast rather than going
abroad for good weather.
But celebrations at Cambridge

University got out of hand on Sunday
as 1,000 drunken students took part
in a raucous party in the city centre.
Passers-by were shocked to see
students stripping off and vomiting
at the annual party, known as Caesar-
ian Sunday, which takes place on
Jesus Green on the rst bank holiday
of the summer term.
One said: The way the students
were behaving was disgusting. Its
not something Id expect to see in
Cambridge on a Sunday afternoon.
Students at Oxford University took
the opportunity to make the most of
the glorious weather by swimming in
the River Cherwell.
As dry weather had left the river at
its lowest level in years, none chose to
jump from the Magdalen Bridge as is
tradition.

THE real husband of a bigamous
bride who went on to marry four
other men is trying to track her down
so he can nally divorce her.
Paul Rigby wed Emily Horne in
December 1996 while he was a young
soldier on leave. But the glamour
model, now 32, left him only to
embark on three further marriages.
She was jailed for six months for
bigamy in 2004. In 2009 she was
convicted again after it emerged she
had still not divorced Paul and had
married a fourth victim she met
while working in a massage parlour.
In that case a judge at Manchester
Crown Court imposed a suspended
sentence and Horne vowed to end her
only legal marriage for good.
Im delighted to be free but I think
it is about time I got a divorce, she
said then. But yesterday Paul, 33,
claimed there had been no divorce
and he had spent seven years trying
to nd her to serve divorce papers.
I try every couple of years, he said.
I have had six or seven searches done
and come up with nothing.
Every time I try to start a new
relationship and marriage comes up I
say I cant, and the relationship
breaks down.
I probably call her every name
under the sun, but as long as she gives
me a divorce Ill wish her all the best
because shes going to damn well
need it. I just want to make it nal.
Paul married Horne at York Register
Ofce a day after her 18th birthday
following a whirlwind romance. Five
months later they split and he moved
to Northern Ireland.

Students go wild
during an organised
ght at a Cambridge
party on Sunday
AN estimated 3.5 million people
went abroad during the past two
weeks, travel industry group ABTA
said yesterday.
For those taking advantage of the
back-to-back bank holidays
getting in a foreign holiday and
only having to take three days of
annual leave Spain, Florida and
Dubai were popular destinations.
An ABTA spokesman said
compared to the same period last
year more people chose to go
abroad. He added: Many people
made use of the bank holidays.
The long holiday and the Royal
Wedding have been a really good
boost for people coming into the
UK and for British people going
abroad.
The good weather continued
right up until the end of the break
yesterday.
Parts of the UK boasted
temperatures hotter than the
Mediterranean.
A COUPLE were dramatically
plucked to safety when their yacht
ran aground off a beauty spot.
A man and a woman, thought to
be in their 60s, were rescued by an
inshore lifeboat crew after two
attempts to tow the 32ft yacht to
shore failed.
Hundreds of people gathered on
the beach to watch the drama unfold
on Sunday.
The Blithe Spirit had sent out a
distress call after it ran aground on
rocks off the headland at Torquay,
Devon, during the afternoon.
Coastguards launched the rescue
mission after receiving the SOS call
from the couple, who live in nearby
Dartmouth.
A search and rescue helicopter
from the Chivenor Royal Marine
base near Barnstaple, north Devon,
was scrambled.
The woman, who was skipper, is
thought to be a member of the Royal
Dart Yacht Club and a competent
sailor. The couple are believed to
have been cruising around Brixham
and ran into trouble as their 60,000
vessel was returning to Dartmouth.
A Coastguard spokesman said:
The yacht contacted us to say she
was encountering engine problems
as she approached Torquay harbour
and required assistance. We tasked
the marina launch vessel and another
yacht to assist.
The launch vessel arrived at the
entrance to the harbour but by the
time it established communications
the Blithe Spirit had run aground at
Corbyn Head.
Torbay RNLI spokesman Colin
Bower added: Two attempts were
made to get a line on to the stricken
yacht but it snapped and a decision
was made to abandon that method
and get them off the boat.
The couple, who were said to be
badly shaken and distressed, were
yesterday in the care of friends.
MILLIONS of Britons are risking
their hearing by listening to music at
a volume louder than a pneumatic
drill, a study revealed yesterday.
One in 10 turn their radio up
louder than 110 decibels the noise
of a drill on a building site.
Experts warn this is nearly 40 per
cent higher than is safe.
One in six listen to their MP3
player at a volume more deafening
than a plane taking off.
And one in 20 regularly plug into
music more thunderous than a train
hurtling past in a station, a car alarm
or even screaming children.
But 17 per cent admit they have
been left with ringing ears after
listening to blaring music.
The Hearing Company polled 2,000
Britons on their music listening
habits to mark the start of National
Deafness Week today. Director Peter
Worthington said: These results
prove that most Brits are blissfully
unaware how a simple everyday
pleasure of listening to music can
actually be harmful to their hearing.
Damage begins when ears are
exposed to noises louder than 85
decibels for prolonged periods of
time. A pneumatic drill, for example,
reaches 110 decibels, which means
that millions of Brits are listening to
their music at a level of almost 40 per
cent higher than is naturally safe. A
shocking statistic.
The study also found one in 20
listen to music at its highest volume
level and often noisier than road
works. And one in ve listen to music
at full blast while driving.

Britain 2011:
Drunk at age
one, high on
drugs by six
Shock gures from the Royal Bolton
Picture: WALES NEWS
9pAXe;`jc\p
A ONE-year-old child has been
treated in hospital for being drunk
and a six-year-old was admitted while
high on illegal drugs.
Two two-year-olds needed treat-
ment at the same hospital for the
effects of alcohol while children as
young as 13 who have taken deliber-
ate overdoses are among hundreds of
youngsters who have also been
treated there.
Health chiefs say the gures are
worrying because drugs and alcohol
can cause signicant harm to such
young children, but stressed they
were working to tackle the problem.
The gures, obtained under a Free-
dom of Information Act request, show
that children just a few months old
regularly attend the Royal Bolton
Hospital in Lancashire because of
drugs and alcohol.
The information covers everything
from the effects of alcohol to poison-
ing, including overdoses, of medicines,
controlled drugs, illegal drugs and
solvents.
The disturbing statistics for the
past three years reveal that:
A one-year-old has been treated for
alcohol intoxication and two two-year
-olds for ingesting alcohol .
A further nine children aged 12 and
under, as well as hundreds of teen-
agers, have been seen for some form
of alcohol poisoning.,
Nine babies under the age of one,
and more than 100 one and two-year-
olds, needed medical help after drugs
poisoning.
More than 70 three to 10-year-olds
and hundreds of teenagers have
ended up in the Royal Boltons A&E
department as a result of medicines
and drugs. These included a six-year-
old who took controlled drugs, a one-
year-old with solvent poisoning and
teenagers as young as 13 taking
deliberate overdoses.
The hospital, which is one of the
busiest in north west England cater-
ing for about 263,000 patients, says
many of the incidents involving the
very young are thought to be acci-
dents caused by parents giving sick
children too much medicine, or tod-
dlers helping themselves to drinks.
But teenagers dabbling with alco-
hol and drugs was another cause.
Heather Edwards, the hospitals
head of communications, said: Alco-
hol and drugs cause a lot of difcul-
ties for individuals, families and soci-
ety and are a burden on the NHS.
It is not good news that young
people are coming into contact with
substances that could harm their
health, accidentally or knowingly.
The news comes weeks after it
emerged a three-year-old was treated
in a West Midlands hospital for
alcoholism.
The unnamed youngster was one of
13 children diagnosed as alcoholic by
the Heart of England NHS Trust
between 2008 and 2010.
In the same period, 106 teenagers
aged 13 to 16 were also treated for
their addiction to alcohol.

By J`dfe<[^\
Lionel Logue was Ceorge VI's
speech therapist. In tonight's
Channel 5 special report his
grandson explains that the
lm didn't tell the real story
N
HEN Mark Logue was
growing up he was aware
his grandfather had been
King George VIs speech
therapist but he knew
nothing more about him.
Anyone who has seen the multi-
Oscar-winning lm The Kings Speech
could tell him that the Australian-
born Lionel Logue met the Duke of
York on a weekly basis from 1926,
occupied the best seat in Westminster
Abbey when the Duke was crowned,
sat with him at Sand ringham while
he made his annual Christmas broad-
cast and received his intimate
condences by letter over several
decades. But Mark was never told
any of that.
My father was quite a forward-
thinking person who didnt dwell in
the past, says the 45-year-old father
of three who earns a living creating
visual effects for bands such as U2
and The Rolling Stones. He had a
family and a life he had made for him-
self and he didnt particularly keep in
touch with his brothers. I knew who
my grandfather was and what he did
but my father was his youngest son
and none of us in my family knew
Lionel at all or had ever met him.
Im the youngest of four and he died
13 years before I was born.
That all began to change in 2001
when Marks father Tony died and he
came into possession of an archive of
papers. Now that his grandfather is a
household name he has become the
custodian of his memory. His book
about Lionel, co-authored with jour-
nalist Peter Conradi, is already a best-
seller and tonights Channel 5 lm
called The Kings Speech: Revealed
follows him on a journey to Australia
to trace Lionels roots.
It was only when I inherited the
archive that I became aware my
grandfather wrote a diary, he says.
Even then I put it to one side for
another ve years. I was aware of its
importance but I just didnt have
the time to go through it looking at
my grandfathers handwriting was
enough to put me off and I thought,
One day Ill have time for this. About
ve years ago I started going through
it properly, transcribing things.
At the same time a British-born
screenwriter called David Seidler had
resumed work on a play and lm
script which he had begun 25 years
earlier. As a former stammerer,
Seidler wanted to explore Logues
pioneering approach to speech ther-
apy and his unique relationship with
the King, whom the country had rst
known as Prince Albert and was called
Bertie within the Royal Family.
Approaching Lionels elder son
Valentine, a neurosurgeon, he asked if
he could consult the family archives,
including Logues diaries and his cor-
respondence with the King. Unfortu-
nately he ran into royal opposition.
Back in the Sixties a writer had
approached my uncle Valentine for
help with a book about Harley Street,
says Mark. Valentine gave him access
to my grandfathers letters without
thinking he needed to get permission
from the Royal Family. Technically
he didnt. It was just a courtesy. The
author wrote a chapter about Lionel
Logue and the King, which was sent
to the Royal Family for approval. But
they didnt like it.
The view from Clarence House,
where George VIs widow the Queen
Mother was living, was that the story
had been told adequately in a biog-
raphy 10 years earlier. She didnt want
the details pored over again.
The Queen Mother really didnt
want the story told, says Mark. The
chapter was removed and after that
an agreement was made that any
future approaches should be for-
warded to the Royal Family for
approval. Thats what happened and
it was the same answer every time:
they didnt want the story told. In
Seidlers case the Queen Mother
wrote to him: Please, not during my
lifetime. The memory of those events
is still too painful. She was referring
to her husbands agonies in trying to
overcome a stammer that became
horribly obvious whenever he had to
speak in public a duty that became
much more frequent when he had
to take over the throne after his elder
brother Edward VIII abdicated. Logue,
convinced there was a link between
stammering and emotional trauma,
worked on the assumption that the
Dukes speech difculties were partly
the result of being bullied by his over-
bearing father, George V.
Seidler was happy to oblige the
82-year-old royal consort. After her
death in 2002, he resumed work
around 2005 using only the materials
that had been published. The script
was well advanced by the time he
made contact with Mark Logue who
was happy to let him see the archive.

HAT meant it was too late to
address any major discrepan-
cies, notoriously the claim that
Lionel, portrayed by Geoffrey Rush as
a coarse outsider with an Australians
disdain for stuffy British convention,
insists on calling his royal client Ber-

tial language as everyone else.
This was the rst thing some of the

they saw the nished lm which stars
Colin Firth in the royal role that won

pleased with the lm, even Valen-
tines widow Anne, who had damned
the project but ended up wanting
director Tom Hoopers contact
details to congratulate him.
Mark thinks the Bertie device, as
well as the use of a humble terraced
house as Logues home rather than
the mansion where he actually lived,
are quite justied.
?
E EXPLAINS: Of course
the lm takes massive crea-
tive licence but by suggest-
ing that hes the one person that
can get away with calling the King
Bertie it is highlighting the fact that
this was not an ordinary profes-
sional relationship. My grandfather
was interested in how the King was
feeling and the King told him. Right
from their rst meeting in 1926 he
writes that the Duke of York suffers
from bouts of depression. So they
must have had a conversation about
it and the Duke must have been
candid about it.
Mark now wants a memorial for
his grandfather and is trying to get
a blue plaque erected at 146 Harley
Street where the royal consulta-
tions took place. English Heritage
turned down his initial application
but he is not downhearted. Part
of the problem is that if youre
a medical practitioner and youre
claiming to have been a pioneer
in the eld of voice therapy, there
needs to be an independent peer
review that what youre saying is
actually substantiated, he says.
Unfortunately my grandfather
wasnt reviewed, he didnt publish,
he didnt teach, so its difcult to
prove he was a pioneer in a conven-
tional medical sense. Since I rst
applied, however, there have been
academic studies of his methods
that do substantiate his contribu-
tion, so Im hoping there is enough
stuff now to get him accepted.
Its important that there should
be some lasting tribute, he says,
because although his grandfather
was given a CVO medal by George
VI, his remarkable contribution to
the story of the Royal Family was
unfairly overlooked in his lifetime.
The Kings doctors or dentists
almost always got knighted, how-
ever brief or trivial their relation-
ship with him was, says Mark. I
dont know why my grandfather
wasnt. Perhaps it was because he
was Australian. But he has been
recognised now and I hope the
plaque will come eventually to give
him his rightful place in history.

INSIDE: The super salad guide Are you sitting
comfortably? A bugs bite gave me arthritis
Picture: WARREN SMITH
N
HEN Carole and Sean
Dalys seven-year-old son
Finn lost his rst milk
tooth last year, the tooth
fairy didnt get a look in.
Instead Carole popped
it in a jar lled with milk and sent it
to a lab in Cheshire to help protect
him against future ill-health. Three
thousand other families have done
the same, a gure that is rising fast.
If Professor Sara Rankin, a
biologist at Imperial College
London gets her way the tooth fairy
will become redundant.
We are well aware it could take
decades for stem cell development
to reach a point where it could be
used in a health emergency and that
it might not happen at all, says
Carole. Yet if ever there came a
time in Finns life when that
moment did arise and we hadnt
done all we could to protect him,
wed feel wed failed as parents.
Were not prepared to take that
chance so even though it cost 950
wed rather invest in that than, say,
a holiday that would last a week.
Professor Rankin has joined
forces with artist Gina Czarnecki to
get 12,000 children to send in their
baby teeth to decorate a 2m-high
coral castle designed to raise
awareness that they contain
potentially valuable stem cells.
The cells are already being
used to treat cancers including
leukaemia and blood disorders and
there are clinical trials going on
to determine their potential in
repairing cardiac tissue following
a heart attack.
In the future it is hoped they
may be used to cure conditions
such as Alzheimers, Parkinsons
and diabetes, as well as arthritis,
joint injuries and some visual
problems. Some scientists are even
proposing cosmetic benets, using
the cells isolated from teeth to grow
new teeth, providing a more natural
alternative to dentures, implants
and bridges.
Carole, from Widnes, Cheshire,
discovered the stem cell harvesting
service run by BioEDEN in a local
newspaper article. I cut out the
feature but then forgot about it.
It was only when Finn got his rst
wobbly tooth that I remembered.
Mind you it wouldnt have been
the end of the world if wed have
lost that tooth as there would have
been more. In fact BioEDEN
warned us that in some cases they
cant get enough cells from the
tooth you send, in which case you
just send in the next one. If none
of them work you get a refund.
Had Carole known stem cells
could be collected from cord blood,
the babys blood that remains in the
placenta and umbilical cord after
birth, when Finn was born, she
admits she would have done this
instead. The practice has now
become so popular in countries
including the US and UK that it is
forecast to be a $15billion
(9billion) industry by 2015.
However Professor John Hunt,
head of the division of clinical
engineering that houses the UK
Centre for Tissue Engineering at
the University of Liverpool,
believes stem cells derived from
milk teeth that fall out provide a
signicantly greater potential for
future healthcare than cord blood.
There is good reason to believe
the cells in milk teeth are far more
proliferative so even if you only get
a few cells out of a tooth they
multiply rapidly and differentiate
into different cell types. Its also
much simpler to send off a tooth
than get in a third party to extract
cord blood in the minutes after
birth. The only warning I would give
is not to go near companies that
just freeze the tooth.
The tooth needs to be cracked
open and the pulp withdrawn and
processed in the lab to see if the cells
do or do not expand.
It was Songtao Shi, a paediatric
dentist at the US National Institute
of Health in Bethesda, Maryland,
who rst made the link between
stem cells and milk teeth. In 2000
he discovered wisdom teeth contain
stem cells in the pulp at the centre
of the tooth. When his six-year-old
daughter and her friends started
losing their baby teeth he thought
hed check them too and so he
asked the parents to store the teeth
in a glass of milk overnight.
To his delight, he found between
12 and 20 cells from a typical incisor
tooth turned out to be stem cells.
Cynics claim harvesting stem
cells from teeth remains a huge leap
of faith, with years of trials and
testing required before we know
whether, once thawed, they will
even work. Even BioEDEN, one of
only two companies in Britain
offering to store the teeth, agrees
the success rate remains unknown.
We point out the solid science but
are open about the fact that we are
banking milk teeth based on future
technological potential rather than
currently established scientic
fact, explains chief executive
Lorna Green.
That said, just last year surgeons
in Mexico performed a stem cell
implant to regenerate bone tissue
in a patients jaw using stem cells
obtained from his own wisdom
teeth 28 days earlier and expanded.
Meanwhile the Laboratory for
Regenerative Medicine at
Cambridge University reports that
enormous strides are being made in
stem cells almost on a daily basis.
Professor Hunt is optimistic
extracting stem cells from milk
teeth will be a success. There is
compelling evidence that milk teeth
are going to work and if you think
that most people under 30 are going
to live to over 100, they are going to
need the regenerative therapy these
stem cells have potential to create.
BioEDEN offers the option of a
small sample of cells being used for
research. Professor Hunt hopes this
will increasingly be taken up.
That is what would enable people
like me to get these cells and do the
research required to work out how
to use them therapeutically, rather
than me having to use my own
childrens teeth. Last week my
daughters tooth fell out and she
said, leave a note for the tooth fairy
with the tooth that once the magic
has been taken out this needs to go
to my daddys lab please.

NJOY your salads, they could be the key
to a long and healthy life. Eating leafy
greens such as rocket and lettuce can
help head off a heart attack say
researchers at the University of
Pittsburgh. The leaves contain nutrients
which help prevent and repair damage to the
heart and circulatory system.
Greens increase levels of nitric oxide, a
molecule crucial to cardiovascular health. Low
levels are associated with an increased risk of
heart disease but treatments such as bypass
surgery and angioplasty can add to the damage
by disrupting the chemical pathway our bodies
use to harness nitric oxide.
However researchers found the body can get
around this damage by creating an alternative
source from the nitrates in leafy greens.
Low levels of nitric oxide are also
a risk factor for diabetes so their
ndings may also explain why a
diet rich in fruit and veg has also
been linked to a reduced risk of
blood sugar problems.
Writing in The Journal
Of Clinical Investigation,
scientists say the discovery
helps explain the benets of the
Mediterranean diet and add: It is
thought many different dietary micronutrients
and macronutrients act synergistically to reduce
vascular disease and other chronic diseases.
Expert dietitian Dr Frankie Phillips says there
is a lot to be said for the idea of foods working
together and there is no better way to achieve
this sort of synergy than with a salad. For
instance tomatoes contain lycopene, an anti-
cancer compound which becomes more
powerful when combined with vitamin E, which
is abundant in olives. Tomatoes and olives are
perfect salad partners.
Here are some simple tips and perfect
matches that will give mealtimes an extra
health boost.
MIXING IS MAGIC
Variety really is the spice of life and as
Dr Phillips says: Studies have shown the
greater the number of different foods you eat
in a day, the more likely you are to meet your
recommended nutrient levels.
A study of more than
59,000 women by
researchers at Harvard
School of Public Health
found those who ate the
widest variety of foods
had the lowest levels of
cardiovascular disease
while those who ate
the least varied were
signicantly more likely
to die from cancer.
UNKINDEST CUT
There is solid science to support the suggestion
that salad leaves should be torn and not cut.
Structurally, lettuce is like bubblewrap and
made up of lots of cells containing pockets of
nutrients and water. Dr Phillips explains: If you
use a knife you cut through these cell walls and
lose nutrients, vitamin C in particular.
If you tear the leaves, they break away
between each bubble, minimising damage to
the cell walls and subsequent loss of nutrients.
Tearing also reduces bruising and wilting for
the same reason.
BEST DRESSED
When making a vinaigrette, choose the right oil
as some supposedly healthy polyunsaturated
ones arent as good as you might think.
Sunower, safower, corn and many other
vegetable oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids
and compete with omega-3 fatty acids, which
in turn makes it harder for our body to absorb
those heart-friendly omega-3s.
Ideally we should have twice as much
omega-6 as we do 3, a ratio of two to one but
the increased use of vegetable oils and our low
consumption of oily sh has seen the balance
shift dramatically. Our average ratio is now an
unhealthy eight to one. Thats bad news on two
fronts because not only does omega-6 block
omega-3, high levels of omega-6 are also
associated with inammation, a
contributor to heart disease, diabetes
and many other health problems.
Redress the balance by using an oil
high in omega-3 such as rapeseed
or axseed or, for a stronger
avour, walnut or sesame. Try
olive oil which contains omega-9
and does not compete with 3.
GO FOR GARLIC
Add crushed garlic to dressings, its full of
allicin, a plant chemical which reduces the risk
of heart disease.
The World Health Organisation recommends
garlic as a natural treatment for hardening of
the arteries and high cholesterol.
Although these protective benets have been
known for some time its only recently that
researchers at the University of Alabama
discovered allicin works by helping cells
communicate. This makes arteries and
blood vessels more elastic, reducing blood
pressure and the risk of cardiovascular disease
and stroke.
Allicin is created by a chemical reaction which
occurs when the cloves are chopped or crushed.
It is also broken down by heat, so crushed raw
garlic has the highest levels.
KNOW YOUR ONIONS
Onions come from the same family as garlic and
contain heart-healthy allicin. They are also high
in an antioxidant plant chemical called
quercetin which has proven cardiac benets.
Researchers at the Institute of
Food Research found eating as
little as 100g of onion reduces
the chronic inammation that
leads to hardening of the
arteries and heart disease.
Large population studies
have conrmed a clear link
between onion intake and a
reduced risk of heart disease,
stroke and some cancers.
China, which has the worlds
highest consumption of onion
and garlic, has one of the lowest
rates of stomach cancer which is
40 per cent lower than average.
Red onions, which also possess the added
bonus of providing visual appeal to any salad,
are proven to lower cholesterol. Animal studies
have shown eating them every day for eight
weeks can cut dangerous LDL cholesterol by
20 per cent.
Spring onions, another salad favourite, are a
surprisingly good source of iron and a cup full
contains the same amount as 3oz of prime beef.

GOLD CARROT
A carrot and sweetcorn salad is sweet in more
ways than one. Both are rich in lutein, a
carotenoid plant chemical which protects
against age-related macular degeneration,
the most common cause of blindness
in the UK.
Use an oil-based dressing as this
helps the body absorb carotenoids,
explains Dr Phillips.
The classic combination of carrots and
raisins is also great for eye health
as raisins are packed with
vitamin A which also reduces
the risk of macular-degeneration
and antioxidants which guard
against cataracts.
WHY WALDORF IS FIVE-STAR
As long as you use a low-fat
dressing, a Waldorf salad of apples,
celery and walnuts is packed full
of heart-healthy nutrients.
Apples are rich in quercetin,
which prevents thickening of the
arteries, and researchers at the
University of Illinois have shown that
soluble bres such as the pectin in apples
strengthens the immune system and reduces
inammation associated with heart disease
and diabetes.
Celery contains a phytonutrient with the
catchy name of 3-n-butylphthalide which
protects against hypertension and stroke by
relaxing the smooth muscles lining the blood
vessels and arteries.
It also contains apigenin, a plant chemical
with anti-cancer properties. Researchers at
Harvard Medical School who compared the
diets of more than 1,000 women with ovarian
cancer with a similar number of healthy women
the same age, found a diet high in apigenin
reduced the risk of the disease by 28 per cent.
Apigenin has been shown to target cells the
cancer uses to spread and grow.
Walnuts are a simple way to crack cholesterol
problems. A study in The American
Journal For Clinical Nutrition
found eating just 5oz of nuts
a week halves the risk of
cardiovascular problems.
Walnuts are the best as they
also cut levels of dangerous
LDL cholesterol by up to
27 per cent.
CANT BEET IT
Freshly cooked beetroot is proven
to help lower hypertension. One-in-four
adults has high blood pressure but a
study at Barts and the London School
of Medicine found drinking 500ml of
beetroot juice daily can signicantly
reduce levels.
Beetroot is rich in nitrates, the
messengers that also make greens
so healthy.
PEP UP IRON INTAKE
A spinach salad is packed with iron which is
essential for energy as it fuels the transport
system that carries oxygen around the body.
Yet iron from vegetable sources is not as
readily absorbed as haem iron, the form found
in red meat.
However you can maximise uptake by
combining iron-rich foods such as spinach with
those which are rich in vitamin C as this will
enhance absorption.
Oranges arent the only fruit when it comes
to good sources either and some vegetables
are surprisingly high. A cup of red peppers for
instance contains around 50 per cent more
vitamin C than a cup of orange juice.
CABBAGES ARE KING
Coleslaw could reduce your risk of
cancer. Cabbage, the key ingredient,
contains a plant chemical called
indole-3-carbinol (IC3) which
protects against a range
of tumours.
IC3, which is found in all
cruciferous vegetables, binds on
to carcinogens and stimulates the
release of enzymes that defuse
them. A large Dutch study found a
diet high in cruciferous vegetables
such as cabbage, broccoli and
cauliower halves the risk of bowel
cancer. Researchers in Singapore
reported a 69 per cent cut in lung
cancer risk and a study reported in the
International Journal Of Cancer found it
lowered the risk of bladder cancer.
Use a low-fat crme frache instead of
mayonnaise for the dressing to cut down on the
calories and fat.
ON THE BUTTON
A mushroom salad is low in calories, high in
nutrients and keeps you feeling full.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins School of
Public Health in the US put them to the test by
asking volunteers to eat a lunchtime meat meal
of 650 calories for four days and then swap to a
mushroom-based one with only 330 calories for
the same period.
They found satiety scores were the same and
there was no temptation to increase snacks to
account for the lower calorie intakes on the
mushroom meal days.
Mushrooms are a good source of potassium
which protects against high blood pressure,
as well as selenium which has
anti-cancer properties and appears
to play an important role in the
immune system.
There is no need to splash out
on expensive exotic varieties
either as a study at Tufts
University in the US found
that basic button
mushrooms enhance
production of dendritic cells
in bone marrow which produce
T-cells, the frontline soldiers of the
immune system.
CRESS IS MORE
Eating watercress regularly could
cut the risk of cancer and heart
disease according to a study at the
University of Ulster.
The avoursome leaves contain
powerful antioxidants which bind
on to harmful compounds in the blood.
Researchers discovered smokers who consumed
an 85g bag of cress daily for eight weeks cut
their levels of DNA damage, the precursor of
cancer, by 23 per cent.
Levels of triglycerides, unhealthy fats
associated with heart disease, were also cut by
10 per cent.

ITTING still for long
periods can damage your
health. Dont assume youre
off the hook just because
you work out at the gym or
take regular walks. New
research shows that even if you
exercise regularly in your free time,
long periods of inactivity in front
of the computer or on the sofa can
cause signicant harm.
Last week a study found
spending 10 years in a desk job
almost doubles the risk of some
bowel cancers.
Other recent research has found
that remaining sedentary for too
long can increase the chances of
developing heart problems as well
as metabolic syndrome, a condition
that can lead to diabetes.
Although they dont fully
understand why, scientists warn
the chemical reactions triggered
in the body by being inactive for
long periods cant be cancelled out
by taking more exercise.
The good news is short, sharp
bursts of activity every 20 to 40
minutes, even for as little as one or
two minutes, can undo the damage
caused. In the future scientists
predict micro-breaks will be
promoted as much as exercise is
today. Here are some ways to get
you out of a slump:
WALK UP THE ESCALATOR
OR TAKE THE STAIRS
In the Fifties Jerry Morris, the rst
scientist to prove the correlation
between health and exercise,
conducted an experiment and
found bus drivers were roughly
twice as likely to suffer a heart
attack than bus conductors.
The only factor that could explain
it was the conductors were running
up and down up to 750 stairs a
day whereas drivers remained
sedentary.
Scientists have since learned that
even if you only walk quickly up one
ight of stairs, you can burn 15 or
so calories. Stair-climbing has the
added benet of exercising your
glutes (bottom) and quadriceps
(thighs). Most important, your
heart gets a good workout says
Anthony Delamare, a tness and
weight-loss coach. Plus it is
low-impact and safe for your knees.
A study in the European Heart
Journal found taking the stairs
could save your life. Banning the
use of lifts and escalators at work
led to better tness, less body
fat, trimmer waistlines and a drop
in blood pressure.
This translates to a 15 per
cent cut in the risk of dying
prematurely from any cause,
the team at the University of
Geneva in Switzerland found.
This suggests stair-climbing
can have major public health
implications, says lead researcher
Dr Philippe Meyer.
MAKE YOURSELF MORE DRINKS
Take advantage of television ad
breaks or a computer le download
to make another cuppa or get a
glass of water. This will ensure
continuous blood circulation in
your arms and legs and will keep
them from getting too strained.
A break could be as short as one
minute and not necessarily entail
exercise to be of benet, says Dr
Genevieve Healy, who conducted
a recent study on inactivity at the
University of Queensland in
Australia. Simply standing up
burns 60 more calories per hour
than sitting.
If you rotate the spine left
and right while standing it can
increase the blood ow to parts
of the spine that become
under-nourished when you sit
for longer than 30 minutes,
adds Simon Fairthorne, a
physiotherapist for Bupa.
SPACE OUT YOUR
HOUSEHOLD CHORES

opportunity to tone and
strengthen muscles and get

if you want to counteract long
periods of sitting down. Be more
creative in the kitchen, says
Juliette. Peeling, chopping,
stirring, whisking and beating all
burn more calories than simply
heating up a ready meal. Have a go
at making your own bread as
kneading dough is hard work.
With the average British woman
spending more than 16 hours a
week cleaning the home, you may
even be able to cancel your gym
membership. In one hour you can
burn 193 calories by vacuuming,
173 by dusting, 193 by mopping the
oor, 113 by ironing and 180 by
cleaning windows.
PLACE THINGS OUT OF REACH
Put the TV remote control on a
shelf so you have to get out of your
seat to get it.
It doesnt sound like much but it
can improve cardiovascular health
and muscle strength, as well as
toning the legs and buttocks and
strengthening the bones.
Stretch when reaching for an
item. Stretching your body can
help it to become more exible,
bringing a greater range of motion
to muscles and joints. You can gain
exibility in your hamstrings, back,
shoulders and hips.
Make the most out of your walk,
adds tness and weight loss expert
Laura Williams. Pump your arms
and squeeze your buttocks when
youre walking to turn a short stroll
into a mini-workout that will tone
tops of arms and behind, she says.
Add in a couple of ights of
stairs as its even better for burning
calories.
SIT ON A SWISS BALL
These over-sized gym balls (left)
are often used for sit-ups but the
combination of sitting on a
movable object and having no back
support means your core and spine
muscles have to contract
constantly to keep you balanced
in a central and upright position.
This can undo some of the damage
caused by sitting in a chair.
It can also make your back
stronger and help you lose weight,
adds Anthony Delamare. Just
sitting on one means you can burn
an average 350 calories extra per
day and it decreases back pain.
If you use a normal chair,
maximise the effort involved in
your micro-breaks by getting up
properly. Replicate a squat at the
gym, tilting your pelvis out and
focusing on your legs doing the
work rather than your back. If you
do this every time you get off your
chair, its like doing 100 squats a
day without setting foot in a gym,
says personal trainer Dan Roberts.
TAKE A BREAK: Sitting
for too long can cause
all sorts of problems,

ACNE
TOOTHPASTE
Although it lacks clinical
evidence, many people
claim toothpaste on a
spot works wonders.
One theory is many
contain triclosan, an
antibacterial which
reduces redness. The
dry paste is also said to
act as a mop to absorb
and draw out a spot.
CLAY
Healing can be achieved
by using a clay-based
face pack. Dab on the
affected area and leave
for as long as possible
before rinsing.

CRUSHED ASPIRIN
Aspirin is derived from
salicylic acid which is
an ingredient found in
many face washes. Try
crushing an aspirin (not
paracetamol) into a ne
powder, adding a drop
of water and applying
the paste directly to the
affected area.

ICE
Ices ability to numb and
soothe the skin might
help calm redness.
Press a cube on to the
skin for a few minutes.
EGGS
Whisk an egg white until
thick, add a teaspoon of
honey and a teaspoon
of lemon juice. Apply to
the face for 10 minutes.
ROSACEA
COTTON WOOL
Damp cotton wool in a
plastic bag can cool skin
and a cold compress
reduces redness.
VITAMIN E
Open up a vitamin E
capsule and apply the
contents to drier areas.
CAMOMILE TEA
Drinking camomile tea
may reduce ushing and
help calm rosacea due
to stress.
ANTI-DANDRUFF
SHAMPOO
When allowed to run
down the face during a
shower, it has been
suggested anti-dandruff
shampoo can improve
rosacea. This may point
to it being seborrheic
dermatitis. Leave on
the skin for as long as
possible before rinsing.

S DOCTORS struggled for
more than two years to
diagnose her symptoms,
Emma McNally feared she
had cancer. Weight loss,
tiredness and constant
stomach problems, which meant
she was continually dashing to the
bathroom, took a terrible toll on her.
At the time Id just started a new
job in customer relations, recalls
Emma, now 31. I couldnt have any
sort of normal life. I was also losing
blood and I was convinced I had
cancer. It was horric.
So it came as a relief when Emma
was diagnosed with colitis, an
inammatory condition which
causes clusters of ulcers to form in
the large intestine. She assumed
she could now have treatment.
However as the condition
worsened Emma soon found herself
facing a battle for life. I was going
to the bathroom up to 20 times a
day and my weight dropped to six
stone, she explains. I tried
changing my diet but nothing
worked. During a holiday to Cyprus
I ended up in hospital
for a week. Thats
when I realised how
serious it was.
Soon she barely
had the strength to
get out of bed and
ended up spending
the next four months
in hospital. It was
depressing. My best
friend got married and I wasnt well
enough to go. I had no life.
Returning to hospital after a
weekend at home, Emma was told
her condition was so grave that
emergency surgery to remove her
entire large intestine (also known as
the colon) was the only option. In a
healthy person the function of the
large intestine is to absorb water
from food and pass waste material.
By now my weight was down to
ve-and-a-half stone. It was spelt
out to me that if I didnt have the
operation I could be dead within
24 hours. My mum passed out in
the consultants room.
Ulcerative colitis affects about
120,000 people in the UK and it is
estimated there are 20,000 people
who have had their colon removed.
During surgery, Emmas ileum,
the end of the small intestine, was
also diverted and re-routed through
a hole in her abdomen. It was then
connected to an external pouch to
collect body waste. The procedure
is known as an ileostomy. I really
struggled, not just psychologically
but practically, says Emma. The
pouch used to become detached,
which I found humiliating. I felt
unfeminine and I became reclusive.
I was only in my mid-20s and I went
from being grateful I was alive to
wondering how Id deal with this.
Then, nine months later, Emma
was told there was another option.
Although not suitable for everyone
she was offered surgery which
involves folding loops of the small
intestine back on themselves to
construct an internal waste pouch.
Known as ileo-anal pouches or
J-Pouches, they are an increasingly
popular alternative to external bags.
Emmas ileostomy was reversed
and in 2004, in two stages to reduce
the risk of infection, she had surgery
and the new pouch was connected.
There are disadvantages: the new
internal waste reservoir is smaller
than the colon so some patients
report having to use the toilet
frequently but for Emma it has
proved a revelation.
I have to be wary of my diet but
at last I can control
the condition rather
than it controlling
me, she says.
She is now the
practice manager for
a rm of solicitors.
My weight is back
to over eight stone
and I can do things
other people take for
granted. I can go to the gym, go
swimming, go camping and wear a
bikini. I can put myself in social
situations which I would have
avoided because of the restrictions
of having a bag.
Up to 4,000 patients in the UK
have had the same treatment. Neil
Mortensen, professor of colorectal
surgery at Oxford Radcliffe
Hospitals, says: Colitis often affects
young people and there are body
issues about having an external
pouch. An internal pouch is now the
favoured option when it becomes
necessary in severe cases of colitis
to remove the large intestine. The
operation is not always successful
but about 80 per cent of patients
are happy with the outcome.
Emma adds: I want people to
know normal life can go on and
how amazing this treatment can be.

GETTING TO THE HEART OF MEDICAL MATTERS
Q
MY 20-year-old son suffers
from hay fever. He contacted
his GP for a hay fever jab but
was told doctors dont do them.
Is this correct and if so, where
can he get one? What other
treatments are there?
A
IN the past some GPs have
given an injection of a
long-acting steroid to treat
severe hay fever. Though this can
be effective, it shuts down the
bodys own production of
steroids. This can be potentially
very dangerous, especially if you
are ill or involved in an accident
so GPs no longer give them.
A second jab containing
extract of pollen also used to be
given but caused a severe allergic
reaction in some patients so is
no longer available.
However a new type of
treatment, Grazax, is available
for reducing the bodys reaction
to grass pollen which in turn
helps to prevent hay fever
symptoms. Each tablet contains
a minute amount of grass
pollen and is placed under the
tongue on a daily basis for at
least three months.
It is available on prescription
but your son may have to have
an allergy test rst to conrm
his symptoms are due to grass
pollen and not another type
of ower.
Q
TWO or three days a week I
am plagued with a headache,
usually around my left eye,
which I believe is called a cluster
headache. It often ares up if I
drink just one glass of wine the
night before and tends to last
all day. Do you know why these
are happening and what I can do
to avoid them?
A
CLUSTER headaches occur
on one side of the head or
face. Several can occur in a short
period then go away for months
or even years. Typically an attack
of cluster headaches will last
between six and 12 weeks and
not appear again for at least six
months.
It is thought changes in brain
chemicals may be to blame and
these may be linked to the
brains own body clock. This is
why many sufferers nd attacks
start at the same time each year
and even the same time of day.
Alcohol can be a trigger as
can hot temperatures or
strong-smelling substances,
particularly perfumes and
solvents. As prevention is better
than the cure, if you are in
cluster period the only answer
may be to avoid drinking.
Treatments include an
injection of the anti-migraine
drug sumatriptan (which you can
learn to give yourself) and
breathing 100 per cent oxygen.
Verapamil tablets have been
shown to help and some
recommend a steroid injection at
the start of a cluster period. All
are available on prescription.
You can get more information
from Ouch (the Organisation
for the Understanding of
Cluster Headache) 01646 651 979/
www.ouchuk.org
Q
THE tendon connecting my
big toe to my ankle on my
right foot has disappeared and
consequently my big toe tends
to drop down. If left in this
position it becomes painful and
slightly swollen at the joint.
I have also lost some feeling
under the toe and sensitivity in
that area. To overcome this I tape
a small plastic splint under the toe
to keep it rigid. Is this a problem
and will my toe ever get better?
A
THIS is actually quite a
common problem although
it more usually affects the
second, third or fourth toes,
when it is called a hammer toe.
Although it may occur because
of problems with the tendons
inside the foot, it can also arise
from the toes being squashed
into poorly tting footwear.
Shoes that are too narrow are
often to blame as the toes are
constantly having to ex into an
abnormal position.
Arthritis in the big toe joint
can affect the function of the
tendons that straighten the toe.
You need to see your doctor who
will be able to advise you on the
best form of treatment.
You may need an X-ray to check
whether you have arthritis and, if
so, you may need surgery to
correct it. Alternatively you may
just need special exercises to
strengthen the muscles that
straighten the toe.
In the meantime make sure
you wear shoes that give your
toes plenty of room. You should
avoid wearing footwear that has
to be kept on by exing your
toes such as slip-on sandals or
ballet ats that do not have good
back support.
Instead wear shoes that are
kept on your feet by some form of
strap across the top of your foot.

FIGHTING BACK: A healthy lifestyle helped Kelly-Anne recover
8k`ZbY`k\^Xm\d\Xik_i`k`j
Television presenter
Kelly-Anne Lyons spent
her teens drained of
energy, all because
of a woodland bug
J
HE has a successful career in
childrens television and to her
young viewers she is full of life
and bursting with energy. Yet
as a schoolgirl Kelly-Anne
Lyons, who stars in the popular
BBC show Dick And Doms Funny
Business, was diagnosed with arthritis,
a debilitating condition most commonly
associated with older people.
More surprisingly the illness was the
result of Kelly-Anne, 26, being bitten by
a woodland parasite.
I am from a small town called
Basking Ridge in New Jersey, explains
Kelly-Anne, an American who moved to
England three years ago while working
as a model. My best friend lived behind
me and we used to run through the
woods around our houses.
When she was 13 Kelly-Anne must
have been bitten by a tick. Yet she
didnt realise it until the infection had
attacked her body.
Ticks, which are normally transmitted
by larger animals such as deer and
sheep, can carry bacteria called
Borrelia. If they bite human esh they
can cause Lyme disease. This can
trigger u-like symptoms and tiredness.
Left untreated, it can lead to arthritis,
which is inammation of the joints, and
heart problems. It can also affect the
nervous system, eyes, kidneys and liver
and in rare cases can be life-threatening.
Usually when you get a bite a rash
comes up like a red bulls eye, says
Kelly-Anne. Doctors take the tick out
and give you medicine. I never had the
bulls eye rash so they think the tick
probably went in my hair.
Soon she began experiencing u-like
symptoms, suffered from chronic fatigue
and was repeatedly misdiagnosed.
She says: They told me I had u or
had overstretched myself because I was
a busy child. During the next six to
eight months, the lively teenager
suffered from inexplicable tiredness,
high temperatures and joint pain.
One day my knee swelled up, she
recalls. I went to the school nurse who
said: You have arthritis and I guarantee
the reason youve been so sick is youve
had Lyme disease. Blood tests
conrmed the diagnosis.
As she was allergic to non-steroidal
anti-inammatory drugs, usually
prescribed for arthritis she was taking
up to 20 tablets a day. Thats a lot for
a child, she says. Yet my hospital trips
helped put everything into perspective.
Id walk past ve-year-olds with
leukaemia so I never thought poor me.
She also had physiotherapy to
mobilise her joints and ate a healthy
diet. According to Professor Hill Gaston,
professor of rheumatology at Cambridge
University, the link between the disease
and arthritis is now well established.
Lyme disease causes arthritis, he
says. Yet if people know about the tick
bite and take antibiotics most patients
wont develop arthritis at all. Even when
it does develop, most patients will
respond to antibiotics.
Not everyone gets the rash which can
make detection difcult. According to
the Health Protection Agency there are
now up to 3,000 cases of Lyme disease
in England and Wales each year. It can
be found in areas such as the New
Forest and Dartmoor.
Kelly-Anne has been in remission
from her condition for eight years and is
now a supporter of the charity Arthritis
Care. Living and coping with arthritis
while I was growing up was tough but I
was luckier than some because I was able
to continue doing what I loved, she says.
This was due to taking the proper
medicine and living a healthy lifestyle
but many people with arthritis have to
stop doing sports and hobbies which
can be isolating when youre young.
CAROLINE DAY
Kelly-Anne Lyons is promoting
Arthritis Care Week which runs from
May 9 to 15. For more information visit
www.arthritiscare.org.uk
I READ your recent
reply to a reader
concerned about
low iron levels
(April 26).
In 2002 I was
hospitalised with
DVT in both legs
and a lung
infection. My
haemoglobin
levels were found
to be very low and
the hospital began
a long, invasive
search to nd
where I was
bleeding internally.
Eventually a
scan showed one
of my kidneys had
shrivelled and died
and the remaining
kidney and liver
were enlarged. I
wasnt losing
blood but not
making enough
due to my kidney,
liver, arthritic joints
and long bones.
I was given
injections to boost
blood supply and
occasional iron
infusions and
tablets. I am now
much better,
though waiting for
knee and hip
replacements.
My experience
shows a course of
iron tablets is not
always the answer.
Indeed in my case
it would have been
dangerous.

TS always nice to be surprised
and one place you dont expect
to be surprised in is an ITV1
cop drama. Its turning into
something of a bonanza week
for fans of the sleuth genre,
with Exile unravelling slowly on
BBC1 and Brenda Blethyn as
north-east case-cracker Vera
on ITV1.
At rst sight CASE SENSITIVE
(ITV1) looks like another needless
addition to the catalogue. Its got
the feisty woman detective with the
unusual name (Zailer). Check. The
messy love life and cat-and-mouse
tension thing with the male
opposite number. Check. Its got
institutional sexism and too much
booze. Check.
However, if the coppers in this
two-part adaptation of Sophie
Hannahs thriller The Point Of
Rescue seem two-dimensional
thats only because the plot theyre
caught up in is far more signicant.
Det Sgt Charlie Zailer (Olivia
Williams) and Det Con Simon
Waterhouse (Darren Boyd), both
fresh from an unfortunate drunken
clinch with each other, visited one
of those architect-designed posh
houses made of glass and chrome
to investigate the suspicious deaths
of Geraldine Bretherick and her
ve-year-old daughter Lucy. This
all looks pretty straightforward,
observed Waterhouse in an
oft-repeated line that promised
the opposite of what it seemed to.
Criminologists from the local
university were called in, one cute
and sexy, the other bearded and
arrogant, to peer at the evidence
and pick over the mothers diary
rantings. They concluded it was
a case of family annihilation, an
unbalanced mother doing herself
and her offspring in to wreak
revenge on her spouse or to protect
themselves from him.
Either looked possible when we
met said spouse, stressed-out,
irritable businessman Mark
Bretherick, now in grieving mode.
Meanwhile, as details of the
deaths hit the headlines married
hotel manager Sally Thorne
recalled having a one-night stand
with Mark Bretherick. So off she
went to nd him, a move better
explained in the novel than in
this small-screen version, only to
discover it was a different Mark
Bretherick shed slept with. As
sometimes happens.
A simple case of double identity,
except that the sleep-around Mark
Bretherick had described his
distinctive house and shown his
conquest a photograph of his wife
and daughter.
However, to the Mark Bretherick
suspected of murder or driving his
wife to it, Sallys tale was salvation.
Or it would have been if she hadnt
legged it pronto. Oh, and if she
hadnt pretended to be another
person and someone in a silver car
wasnt after her.
Its a cracking plot, both gripping
and unguessable. Some of it tends
to look less steady in the cold light
of day but in the thrill of the chase
these things dont register. As
excitement and chases go, this
is rst-class stuff and concludes
this evening.
Not being THE HOTEL
INSPECTOR (Channel 5) myself, I
couldnt see what was wrong with
the Welcome Traveller Inn, the
strugging, family-run guesthouse
in west Wales featured last night.
Well, apart from the sign. This
featured a Welsh dragon and looked
as though it had been done by a
junior school art class working
collectively together. Its foot was
resting on something that might
have been a football or equally a
severed head.
Not really the sort of welcome Id
fancy anywhere.

David Coleman (left) was
the face of BBC sport for
more than 25 years. As
he celebrates his 85th
birthday this documentary
looks back at the indelible
imprint hes left on sports
broadcasting, from football
World Cups to 11 Olympic
Games. Coleman was a
presenter, commentator,
quizmaster and an ace
interviewer, as well as
being affectionately known
for his on-air gaffes.
Contributions from the
Princess Royal, Lord Coe,
Sir Ian Botham and his
own family leave us in no
doubt about his talents.
Orson Welles masterpiece tells the story of
press magnate Charles Foster Kane through
ashbacks. Intrigued by the dying Kanes last
uttered word, rosebud, a reporter sets out to
nd a new angle on his subjects life.
Our junk food addiction
is dropping down the
age ladder, to the extent
that were rearing a
generation of fast-food
babies. This startling
documentary reveals
babies and toddlers on
a diet of chips, burgers
and kebabs, all washed
down with zzy drinks.
It explores why some
parents resort to junk
food feeding and follows
three families as they
attempt to get back on
the right nutritional track.
Simrin Choudhrie (above) has the ultimate
undercover story, being seven months pregnant
during lming. Descended from Indian royalty and
one of Britains wealthiest women, she is leaving her
lavish lifestyle behind to head for the poorest parts of
Shefeld. There she seeks out community helpers
who will appreciate her 250,000 gift.
;@>@K8C:?F@:<
Mark Logue (left), grandson of Lionel Logue,
the Australian speech therapist celebrated
in the lm The Kings Speech, embarks on a
journey to discover more about his fascinating
forebears experiences with the royal family. As
curator of the Logue family archive, Mark has
a wealth of material at his ngertips, including
family photographs and letters between Lionel
and King George VI. All these fascinating time
capsules unlock a past that was hidden until
recently. Lionel witnessed the rise of Prince
Albert, Duke of York (as George then was),
through the abdication crisis to his unexpected
elevation to the throne. Lionel kept diary notes,
recording everything from the kings jokes to
what Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, wore.

The Walpole Chronicle
Radio 4, 11.30am
Hugh Walpole was one of the most
successful writers of his generation
but today he is largely forgotten.
Each of his novels outsold the one
before, and on his literary tours of
America he pulled in even bigger
audiences than Charles Dickens,
who had done the circuit 80 years
before. It was said that, the works
of Walpole will go on forever, but
today only a couple are still in print.
Eric Robson travels to the Lake
District, where Hugh settled,
and tries to discover why he was
parodied by Londons literary set.

TERMINATOR SALVATION
Sky Movies Action& Adventure/HD, 8pm
In a future dominated by deadly robots, the resistance
leader John Connor (played by Christian Bale) ghts to
stop the creation of an advanced new terminator.
Connor is also searching for the teenager that will go
back in time to become his father still following me?
Away from that, a mysterious stranger with no memory
of who he is or where hes been is about to learn the
shocking truth about his origins.
This, the fourth instalment in the Terminator series, is
an improvement on the third lm, but is still way short in
terms of quality of the rst two.

I was worried and pressed the
wrong button. They all vanished
when you arrived. But the inventor
is already some distance from him,
so he hurriedly presses his round
badge and is immediately lifted into
the air. I dont really like this kind
of ying, he mutters. I do hope
there will be no more mistakes! As
before, he is pulled through the air
behind the inventor, until they reach
the giant funnel and are shot into it.

Next moment Rupert does the same,
And back they go the way they came!
Hurled through the air, the two arrive,
Then in the funnels mouth they dive.

IT seems ridiculous in the
21st century that Prince
Williams wife cannot be
known as Princess Catherine as
she was not born a princess so
can only be known as either
Princess William or the Duchess of
Cambridge (HRH title is given to
Princess Catherine, May 2).
Such obscure royal etiquette
should be consigned to history. It is
not good enough that she will only
be Her Royal Highness.
To the media and most people,
of course, Catherine will simply
remain Kate but to deny her the
use of her own name does not sit
well in the modern world.
Valerie Crews,
Beckenham, Kent
WHILE I sympathise
with those who think
Kate Middleton should
hold the title of Princess Catherine,
I do not think we should allow the
emotion of the marriage to override
centuries of history, including the
endowment of titles.
Our monarchy has been
successful for so long because
it sticks rmly to the age-old
traditions that make occasions
such as the scenes we witnessed
in London truly majestic and
thoroughly British.
We are the envy of the world and
the price we have to pay is to stick
to the script.

THE concept of the AV voting
system is fundamentally awed
(Cameron in TV row with Clegg
over vote reform, May 2).
Most voters only have a few
issues of great importance to them
and their choice of candidate will
be relatively clear.
The task of then selecting a rank
order for the remaining candidates
is irrelevant and likely to receive
only cursory attention.
It is unreasonable to expect
Joe Public to carry out a detailed
analysis of each candidate/party
prior to an election and I am sure
this wont happen.
Lets vote against the
introduction of AV and consign it
to the dustbin where it belongs.
Jean Mills,

I HAVE approached the AV debate
with an open mind but cant give
any credence to a yes vote.
I believe that AV wouldnt be
democratic, fair or would give a
true reflection of the wishes of the
electorate. The result would be
influenced by tactical voting.
So on Thursday it has to be an
almighty no.

I DIDNT know whether to laugh
or cry upon reading that the EU
wants to merge the UK and France
and has spent millions of our
money in reaching this crackpot
conclusion (EU wants to merge
EU with France, May 2).
While Im pretty sure that this
idea is totally unworkable, the fact
it has even been oated is surely
a massive reason why we should
back the Daily Express crusade
and get out of the corrupt
organisation known as the EU
without further delay.
Were pouring money we do not
have into the EU to enrich those
who hold power there and to
enable them to come up with potty
ideas and decisions.
Just think what could be done
within the UK with the millions we
pay annually into the EU.
Pressure on David Cameron
and MPs for a referendum on EU
membership should be intensied.

IS the EU plot to merge us with
France a late April fool? No, only
those unelected idiots in Brussels
plotting against us behind closed
doors once again.
Surely it is time to bring this EU
asco to an end before we and
other European countries drown
in the costly and reckless stupidity
foisted upon us all.
The royal wedding proved we are
a united sovereign nation.

I WRITE in defence of verger Ben
Sheward lmed doing cartwheels
at Westminster Abbey.
Last summer we were on a family
trip to London and toured the
Abbey, one of the least expensive
but most enjoyable things you can
do in the capital.
We were most fortunate to have
Mr Sheward as our guide. His
enthusiasm for the building and
devotion to duty are unparalleled,
while his knowledge of the Abbey
knows no bounds. In short, he
could not do enough to ensure
our visit was both enjoyable
and informative.
Long may he remain a custodian
of our national church.

KATE Middleton looked stunning
on her wedding day. Lets hope
young women take note of her
fashion sense and copy her style of
dress, which is understated, classic,
beautiful and chic.
This is in stark contrast to the
midriff trousers, stomachs hanging
out, fake tan and tattoos most girls
seem to sport nowadays.
This is apart from blokes with
their trousers halfway down their
legs, showing their underpants.
I may be a lady of a certain age
but one of these days Im going to
pull their trousers up.

WHAT a beautiful royal wedding.
Prince William looked so smart
in his uniform, along with Prince
Harry and his John Wayne walk.
As for Catherine, she was totally
gorgeous in her bridal gown
and her younger sister Pippa a
delightful sight to behold as the
chief bridesmaid.
The big disappointment was the
Archbishop of Canterbury, who
needed a trim. Did he not realise
how offputting his long eyebrows,
unbrushed hair and straggly beard
would look on this special day?

WHILE delivering leaets I pushed
one rmly through a letterbox, only
to nd that a dog on the other side
of the door wanted my nger rather
than my paper offering.
The A&E department at my local
hospital did a good job to x the
resultant teeth marks on my nger,
so I survived. The following day
when I was pushing through the
leaets, this time with a wooden
ruler, I encountered another dog.
This one took the ruler from me,

GENTLEMAN, legend, icon, true champion. All overused
clichs in the lexicon of sport but in the case of the late,
great Sir Henry Cooper, every single one totally applicable
(Tributes to Our Enry a true sporting gent, May 2).
As someone who worked closely with Sir Henry in
his role as a dedicated patron of Sparks, the childrens
medical research charity founded by leading sportsmen
and women, he was an inspirational ambassador.
To boxing devotees, his legendary status was forged
forever by that unforgettable left hook that oored
Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali.
The fact that Henry Cooper never became a world
champion, to add to his reign as a British and European
champ, was down to a matter of size rather than any lack
of talent.
However, if a combination of skill, courage, compassion
and a Corinthian spirit denes true sporting greatness,
Sir Henry Cooper was a world champion on every count.

BAE extends Falkands deal
THE dollar hit a 17-month
low against the euro in vola-
tile trading yesterday. US
shares also came under pres-
sure as an initial relief rally
following the death of Osama
Bin Laden zzled out.
Hopes Bin Ladens death
could reduce security risks
drove safe haven gold and sil-
ver prices lower in early trad-
ing, while oil fell sharply
before rallying as traders sug-
gested supplies could be hit
by retaliatory attacks.
Strong eurozone manufac-
turing data fuelled sugges-
tions that the European Cen-
tral Bank would keep raising
interest rates.
By contrast economists
expect the US Federal
Reserve to keep borrowing
costs low to help kick-start
the worlds biggest economy
as data showed the pace of
American manufacturing
growth slowed in April for a
second successive month.
This sent the single Euro-
pean currency 0.5 per cent
higher to $1.4876, after earlier
rising as high as $1.4902.
Meanwhile, the dollar fell to a
three-year low against a bas-
ket of major currencies.
The price of US oil futures
see-sawed between a near 3
per cent slide and 31-month
highs above $114.50.
Lawrence Eagles, global
head of commodities research
at JPMorgan Chase, said: It
is unlikely that the oil indus-
try will see his death as mark-
ing a seminal shift in oil-
market security and arguably
there has been an incremen-

rebirth of condence

The contract tasks BAE with keeping HMS Clyde operational in the Falklands
UK rms condence in Britains
economic prospects has rebounded
at its fastest rate for two years
as manufacturers respond to the
strongest pick-up in orders from
at home and abroad since the
mid-Nineties.
British business condence
rose for the rst time this year in
April, according to the Lloyds
Bank monthly snapshot baro-
meter, which claimed the positive
outlook for manufacturing would
help to offset the negative impact
on the North and Midlands from
public spending cuts.
In a separate report by the CBI,
manufacturers saw the volume of
orders from domestic and overseas
customers grow at the quickest
pace since 1995 in the three months
to April.
The business group said a higher
proportion of rms had responded
to another solid rise in output by
taking on extra staff than at any
time since January 1995 the third
consecutive quarter increase
although it warned that prot
margins were being squeezed by a
rapid rise in production costs.
Lucy Armstrong, chair of the
CBIs SME (small and medium-
sized enterprise) Council, said:
Smaller manufacturers are enjoy-
ing strong demand for goods at
home and abroad, underpinning
robust growth in production.
Head count has increased for
the third consecutive quarter as
rms try to keep up with demand
and output is expected to rise
again in the coming months.
However, inationary pressures
remain a dark cloud, with rising oil
and commodity prices pushing up
the cost of production and eating
into prot margins. Manufacturers
have raised output prices rapidly
to cope and expect to continue
doing so over the next quarter.
The CBI said that during the
quarter 39 per cent of more than
400 rms surveyed reported higher
domestic orders compared with
23 per cent suffering a drop. Export
orders were higher for 37 per cent,
while 14 per cent reported a decline
in volumes. Output is expected to
continue rising at a similar pace to
the past three months.
While plant capacity is seen by
many manufacturers as a possible
constraint on output over the
next three months, 10 per cent
of companies plan to spend more
on machinery and training.
The Lloyds Bank barometer
showed 54 per cent of businesses
were more optimistic about eco-
nomic prospects in April compared
with 45 per cent the previous
month, although it could take
months for these results to lter
through to ofcial statistics and
second quarter economic growth
is expected to remain subdued.
Trevor Williams, chief economist
at Lloyds Bank Corporate Mar-
kets, said: It is far too soon to say
that this is a new upward trend
but if sustained it would point to
an improvement in the economy in
the second half.
Opportunities are there for
businesses with the right products
and prices to benet from the
most positive business prospects
weve had for a year.
DEFENCE giant BAE Systems has
secured a six-year contract extension
worth an estimated 60million to
provide maintenance support to the
Royal Navys Falklands protection ship
HMS Clyde.
The new arrangement to 2018 builds
on an existing ve-year agreement,
which has kept the vessel ready for use
by the Navy more than 99 per cent of
the time. Since 2007, HMS Clyde has
carried out a protection role which
previously required two ships.
The UK company has an engineer
permanently based in the Falklands
working with local rms and the Navy
to enable the vessel to be serviced
without making an 8,000-mile trip back
to the UK.
Mick Ord, managing director of BAEs
surface ships division, said: This
provides real value to the Ministry of
Defence. Minimising return trips to the
UK and ensuring rapid defect
rectication helps to reduce costs and
deliver maximum availability of
warships to meet operational
commitments.
CILLIT Bang and Dettol
group Reckitt Benckiser
(RB) is facing a pay revolt at
this Thursdays annual meet-
ing after its remuneration
scheme came under re from
corporate governance advi-
sory group Pirc.
Pirc argues that the 24bil-
l i on consumer products
giants incentive and per-
f or mance- bas ed s har e
scheme is not challenging
enough for directors and is
concerned that no absolute
limits apply to awards under
the l ong-term i ncenti ve
scheme.
Two years ago Bart Becht,
RBs chief executive who
recently surprised the mar-
ket by announcing he would
retire in September, enjoyed
a 92million pay package
after cashing in incentive
shares. His 4million pay last
year was topped up by 14mil-
lion in performance shares.
Pirc has been a long-stand-
i ng cri ti c of Recki tt s
remuneration arrangements.
At last years AGM 16 per
cent of Reckitt shareholders
voted against its executive
pay report.
The Anglo-Dutch company
has delivered 600 per cent
returns to investors since its
creation in 1999.
HOMEOWNERS are set to
be given another reprieve
this week with policymakers
expected to keep interest
rates on hold at 0.5 per cent
following Britains lacklustre
economic performance in the
rst quarter.
Experts believe the latest
set of gross domestic product
(GDP) gures showing a
disappointing 0.5 per cent
rise between January and
March have killed off any
chance of a rate hike in May.
Indeed Howard Archer,
chief economist at IHS Glo-
bal Insight, believes the odds
are against a hike in borrow-
ing costs happening before
November. He had previously
pencilled in August.
He said: Latest growth
and ination developments
appear to have killed off any
prospect of an interest rate
hike at the conclusion of the
Monetary Policy Commit-
tees meeting on Thursday.
The MPCs concern over
the underlying strength of
the UK economy and its abil-
ity to withstand the scal
squeeze that is increasingly
kicking in from the start of
April has likely been height-
ened by the muted rebound
in GDP growth in the rst
quarter of 2011.

Dominion targets oil
reserves in Tunisia
MALCOLM Walker, the founder
of frozen food retailer Iceland,
is looking to buy the owner of
Piccolino, Zinc and Bank bars
and restaurants.
He is part of a consortium,
W2D2, which has made a
5.7million bid for Aim-listed
Individual Restaurant
Company at 9p a share.
Members of the consortium
already hold 54 per cent of the
group and are looking to take
the company private.
IRC owns 33 restaurants in
Britain, but has struggled to
grow because of a lack of
nancing. Raising funds from
existing shareholders would
prove expensive, so Walker
and his team believe it would
be better to recapitalise the
rm privately.
The IRC board has not
recommended the offer.
Chairman Robert Breare is
leaving it to investors to make
up their own minds in light of
their own circumstances.
The offer represents only an
11.8 per cent premium to the
undisturbed share price, IRC
stock has little liquidity and is
difcult to sell.

Walker is such a fan he has

BANKS take centre stage this

LLOYDS Banking Group
which was told by the ICB that
the disposal of branches it agreed
with European regulators did not
go far enough and that it would
have to sell more leads the rst-
quarter updates on Thursday.
Currently 41 per cent owned by
the taxpayer, Lloyds gives little
nancial detail in this update but
after staying in the black through-
out 2010 there are worries that its
margins may have come under
pressure.
It could face questions over the
impact of a worsening consumer
environment on debt losses as well
as the recent ruling on payment
protection insurance. Lloyds is the
most exposed of Britains banks to
miss-selling claims.
New boss Antonio Horta-Osorio
isnt expected to update on his
strategy for the rm until June but
his plans will still be in the
spotlight, including reports that
he is preparing to sell Scottish
Widows for more than 5billion.
CURRENTLY 83 per cent

owned by the state, Royal Bank
of Scotland reports its rst quar-
ter gures on Friday. It returned to
protability in the fourth quarter,
as sharply lower bad debts offset
slower investment banking reve-
nues and the City will hope this
has continued into 2011.
RBS says it is on track with its
recovery plan, despite the
wider investment banking
slowdown and regula-
tory challenges ahead.
It has warned that
there will be inevita-
ble costs passed down
to customers and share-
hol de r s f r om t he
changes that have been
mooted by the ICB.
BRITAINS fourth big-

gest supermarket
chain, Morrisons,
posts first-quarter
figures on Thurs-
day. It is unlikely to
have avoided the consumer spend-
ing squeeze but should still reveal
a resilient performance.
Tesco reported a 0.7 per cent
drop in its fourth-quarter sales
while Sainsburys has already pre-
pared the market for a tough 2011.
But analysts expect Morrisons
to better the Tesco decline, and
same-store sales growth has
already been pencilled in.
The companys Fuel Britannia
petrol offer is likely to have helped,
with added benet from shoppers
trading down, giving the stores
reputation for value a boost.

CLOTHES retailer Next,

led by chief executive
Simon Wolfson (pictured),
delivers a trading update for
the rst three months of the
year tomorrow.
According to broker UBS it
is expected to report a 5 per
cent decline in same-store
sales amid the squeeze
on househol d
incomes from
the VAT rise
and soar-
ing input
costs. The City will also be looking
for an update on raw material costs
after the company warned its
ranges could be up to 10 per cent
more expensive this autumn and
winter as a result.
However, total sales, including
new retail space and online, should
show decent growth.
TOMORROWS interim results

from software group Sage will
be watched for further news on a
sales revival under the leadership
of new boss Guy Berruyer.
The Newcastl e-based f i rm
returned to sales growth in the six
months to September as its target
market of small and medium sized
businesses began to get back on
track following the downturn.
It has al so mai ntai ned i ts
improved performance in the nal
three months of 2010.
Analysts forecast that a continu-
ation of improved conditions will
have helped sales to grow by 2 per
cent to 733.8million over the
half-year.
Pre-tax prots are expected to
come in at 178million, up from
177.5million a year earlier.

OIL explorer Dominion Energy hopes
moving from the Plus market to Aim
will give it the nancial repower to
strike the black stuff in Tunisia.
Dominion, which announced its
withdrawal from Plus on April 6,
hopes to complete the move by
August. It is being advised by St
Helens Capital Partners.
The company holds two explo-
ration licences in Tunisia covering
more than 3,000 square miles, which
it says are near to several proven and
producing oil elds.
Executi ve chai rman Masoud
Alikhani, who holds the same post at
Berkeley Mineral Resources, said
cash raised in the oat would be used
to complete seismic surveys. It is
hoped drilling will begin next year.
He said he was unable to give an
estimate of costs at the moment
because auditors were currently
looking at the situation.
However, Alikhani said: The cost
of drilling will be much less than in
Algeria and Libya because the
reserves are not as deep down.
He said he was condent about the
extent of the reserves, pointing out
that Tunisia produced 81,000 barrels
of oil a day in 2009 and China National
Petroleum Corporation and Petrofac
had shown interest in the area.
It is not as big as Libya but it is a
good country for energy, he said. It is
intended that gas from the elds will
be piped to Italy, while oil will be sold
mainly to local reneries.
He insisted recent political upheav-
als would not affect Dominions plans.
It is a stable and quiet country now.
The people are happy, Alikhani said.
Dominion is also eyeing entry into
Russia and is talking to companies
there about possible joint ventures.

Walker Cup
contender Jack Senior
defeated the wind to
take the Lytham
Trophy at the weekend
by ve shots. It was the
latest in a run of titles
for Senior, 22, that has
included the South of
England Open, the
New South Wales
Open, the Egyptian
Amateur Open and the
Hampshire Hog over
the past year.

TIME for the R &A to
jettison the nonsensical
rule which cost Webb
Simpson his rst PGA
Tour victory in New
Orleans at the weekend.
Simpson lost out to
Bubba Watson in a
play-off after incurring a
one-stroke penalty on the
15th when the ball moved
as he was addressing it.
Why, when he was seeking
IT WILL be interesting to
see if Elliot Saltman is
elevated into a featured
TV group for his European
Tour return at the
Spanish Open this week.
Saltman, who served a
three-month suspension
for a serious breach of the
ball-marking rules at the
Russian Open last
September, would wish for
a quiet return. But such
no advantage, should he
be punished for something
beyond his control?
Simpson, who called the
penalty on himself, was
aggrieved and said: I
better limit my comments
on that rule because I
think its such a bad one.
When the wind or other
natural things affect the
golf ball, the player
shouldnt be penalised .
has been the notoriety of
his case that Sky Sports
would be forgiven leading
the scrutiny in how he
marks his ball .
I wish to emphasise
again that I do not cheat,
have never cheated and
do not believe I have done
anything wrong, said
Saltman, who conceded
he may receive a frosty
reception from fellow pros.

FEK?<
T
HERE was a
signicant move
yesterday in the
world rankings.
Not at the
top where Lee
Westwood still rules by
virtue of his outstanding
win in Korea, and
not by much
the move in
question was
one place
but its upshot
is that Rory
McIlroy is looking d o w n
on Tiger Woods for the rst
time in his career.
The new world No6 goes into
his defence of the Wells Fargo
Championship at Quail Hollow
this week having swapped
positions with his boyhood idol.
McIlroy has made it past the
greatest golfer of this generation
at 22. It would be easy in the
whirlwind, globe-trotting life he
lives to overlook such points on
his career map but he should take
time out this week, think about
that fact and recognise what an
achievement that is.
Much has been made of the
young guns storming the golf
world Rickie Fowler, Ryo
Ishikawa, Matteo Manassero
but McIlroy is their standard-
bearer and the rst to pass the
man they all idolised.
His Masters meltdown threw
up many questions which will not
be answered until he again nds
himself under the blowtorch with
nine holes of a Major to play. But
in the stampede to doubt him, it
should not be overlooked how far
he has travelled and how quickly.
He is barely out of adolescence.
Where Ernie Els and Luke Donald
have invested their millions in
wine production, McIlroy spent
his winnings from Augusta on a
state-of-the-art ve-a-side football
pitch for the grounds of his home
back in Northern Ireland.
Yet when the force is with him
he can do things of which other
golfers are incapable. The six
straight threes with which he
capped a 10-under-par 62 to take
the title at Quail Hollow a year
ago ranks among the nest
rounds played anywhere by
anyone over the past decade.
No wonder he travelled back to
North Carolina yesterday with a
warm glow.
I cant wait to defend the title,
its one of my favourite courses in
the world, said McIlroy.
Ill have great feelings
from last year and if I
can play half as well as I
did at the weekend Ill
have a great chance. It would be
great to get my rst win of the
year at Quail Hollow. My game is
in better shape going into the
event than it was last year.
So too the body. The back
concerns of 12 months ago have
melted away as McIlroy has built
himself up into a more durable
athlete. When tested in Leeds last
week by the tness guru he shares
with Westwood, Steve McGregor,
the results were impressive. He has
put on half a stone
in muscle since the
start of the year.
While McIlroy is
growing stronger,
Woods and specically his left
knee is appearing ever more
frail. The medial cartilage injury
he suffered at Augusta and which
rules him out of Quail Hollow is
said by Woods to be minor a
bulletin backed up by the fact he
hit shots in an exhibition in China
the week after The Masters.
But after four operations, the
shot joint is time-limited. Part of
the point of his swing changes
under Sean Foley is to take the
pressure off the knee.
If Woods is a fading force
physically, then as a golfer his
aura has dimmed too. The Woods
of today is not the Woods who
adorned McIlroys bedroom walls
a decade ago. When McIlroy dared
to state so publicly before last
years Ryder Cup and again earlier
this year, you would have thought
he had committed high treason.
He was merely being honest .
The truth was most of the
Europeans fancied taking on
Woods at Celtic Manor given the
way he was playing before the
event and his results since have
been those of a mere mortal rather
than a golng superman.
In the light of McIlroys rise and
Woods struggles, the Ulsterman
may never have to look up to his
hero again.

GRAND NATIONAL
winning trainer Donald
McCain turns his
attention to the Flat
tomorrow when he
saddles 9-2 favourite
Overturn for the

McCain said: If
there is one Flat

win, thats the
one. The
Chester Cup
has always
appealed to
me.
Overturn, the
winner of last
years Northumberland
Plate, has the favoured
number one draw
The other leading
contenders are also
trained by Grand
National winning
trainers.
David Pipe, successful
with Comply Or Die at
Aintree in 2008, will
be represented by
last years winner
Mamlook, a 10-1
shot.
Gordon Elliott,
who trained
Silver Birch to
win the 2007
National, will
saddle Diraar,
a 9-1 chance
with the
sponsor.
Frankel threat
FLAWLESS WIN:
So You Think
impressed at the
Curragh yesterday
By Chris Goulding
SO YOU THINK showed that he
can jump in the ring with Frankel
after his effortless victory in the
High Chaparral Stakes at the
Curragh yesterday.
Hailed in his native
country Australia as a
champion, he lived up to that
billing when having his rst
outing for Aidan OBrien.
Sweeping into the lead when
Seamie Heffernan let him
have his head with a
furlong to travel, he
was 10 lengths
clear of his
n e a r e s t
rival when
crossing the
line.
Hes an
i n c r e d i b l e
specimen
unique, said
OBrien. He
came home
like he was
going to the start. Weve
had some good horses
from Australia but when
this fellow walked
through the door, weve
never experienced
anything like it.
He will come back to
the Curragh for the
Tattersalls Gold Cup.
The Tattersalls Gold
Cup, which takes place
on May 22, is also on
the agenda for the
Derby and Arc
winner Workforce.
That contest will
certainly be worth
seeing but a box
ofce sellout will be
a bout with
Frankel.
The chance of
the pair meeting,
hopefully, will be
in the Juddmonte
I n t e r n a t i o n a l
Stakes at York in
August.

LEE: Relishing contest
SUPERBIKES
OLYMPICS
JOHN HOPKINS became
the rst American to
win a race in the MCE
Insurance British
Championship, as he
held off Scot Stuart
Easton in the second
race of the second
round at Oulton Park.
That was awesome.
Im so happy, that was
really tough, said
Samsung Suzuki rider
Hopkins, who snatched
the lead with two laps
left in Cheshire.
I just stuck at it and
gave it everything I
had, he added, after a
rst win in 11 years.
SARAH STEVENSON,
one of Britains big
hopes, is one ght away
from a crack at the
Taekwondo world title.
Stevenson, 28, has
secured bronze at the
World Championships
in South Korea.
But she ghts world
and Olympic champion
Hwang Kyung-Seon for
a nal place today and
paid tribute to parents
Diane and Roy, ghting
cancer and a brain
tumour. She said: Any
pain Im going through
is nothing compared to
what theyre suffering.
COACH Jason Lee has
called on his Great
Britain squad to show
their ghting spirit at
the Sultan Azlan Shah
Cup in Ipoh, Malaysia.
World and
Commonwealth
champions Australia,
Commonwealth silver
and bronze medallists
India and New Zealand,
Asian Games
champions Pakistan
and Korea also take
part, with GB facing
hosts Malaysia rst on
Thursday.
Lee said: We would
not normally be able to
attend a high-calibre
international
tournament as Great
Britain this early in an
Olympic cycle, so
competing in the
Sultan Azlan Shah Cup
is a unique opportunity.
The high heat and
humidity of Malaysia
will be a true test of the
teams quality and
ghting spirit, things
we will need in
abundance come 2012.
Alastair Brogdon and
Stephen Dick are
replaced in the squad
by Richard Springham
and Dan Fox, who will
make his debut
alongside Iain Lewers.
GAVIN HENSONS Toulon
career looks set to end
shortly but not in the
ignominy he feared.
Wales centre Hensons
suspension for ghting with a
team-mate in a restaurant has
been lifted to enable him to
complete the season with the
French club. He is set to play in
Toulons nal Top 14 xture
against Montpellier on Saturday
and in the play-offs if they qualify.
However, that looks likely to
spell the full stop on his French
trouble, with the Dragons having
expressed a desire to bring him
back to Wales.
We are always looking for
high-quality players and Gavin is
denitely one, said Dragons
manager Robert Beale. We have
to wait and see how the situation
at Toulon unfolds and where Gavin
sees his future in rugby.
Even his former region, the
Ospreys, are not ruling out the
possibility of a return to the
Liberty Stadium. You never say
that they gave me the opportunity
to return to the English game.
But Im excited about the
opportunity to play with Wasps. I
have been really impressed with
some of their young players and
Im looking forward to being part
of a team aiming to get back to the
top of their game.
The future of former Wasp
Danny Cipriani is up in the air
again only three months into his
career with Melbourne Rebels.
Cipriani, who was dropped from
the Rebels starting line-up last
Saturday, has been linked with a
season. After that we will see,
said Toulon director of rugby
Philippe Saint-Andre yesterday.
Toulons leniency will be
welcomed by Wales, who want to
include Henson in the squad to
face the Barbarians on June 4. If
he had been sacked, he would
have gone into that game having
played no club rugby for seven
weeks.
He will still have to face Wales
coach Warren Gatland for a
dressing down over his off-eld
behaviour but the door is now
open for an international return
after a two-year absence.
Potential employers have not
been put off by his reputation for
career with his potential
World Cup involvement
for Wales ruling him out of
the start of next seasons
league programme.
He took a yellow card,
not a red one. He will be
here for the rest of the
temporary return to
Europe next season during
the World Cup after the
conclusion of the Super-15
season.
Toulon were one of the
clubs reported to be
interested, with Saint-
never, said Ospreys managing
director Mike Cuddy.
Wasps were also interested in
signing him last year and could
make a move. After a poor season,
they underlined their ambition
to bring back happier times
yesterday, when they conrmed
the signing of England hooker
Steve Thompson from Leeds.
Thompson, 32, will leave after
Leeds nal league game against
Northampton on Saturday
whether or not they are relegated.
It has been a difcult season
for Leeds on the pitch but I have
really enjoyed my time there and
met some great people, said
Thompson. I am very grateful
Andre doing little to dampen
speculation yesterday.
We are looking for a World Cup
joker who can play No10 or 12 and
kick because Jonny Wilkinson,
Felipe Contepomi and Matt Giteau
will be away, he said. Were
looking at different options but
nothing is done yet. Every 10 or 12
in the world is linked with Toulon.
Cipriani himself is understood
to be willing to take up a permanent
contract in either England or
France if he can be sprung from
his two-year contract in Australia.
A move back to Europe would put
him back in contention for a return
to the national squad after the
World Cup.

BOXING: PORTRAIT OF A LEGEND AND POTENTIAL SUCCESSOR
Ammer time for Haye

_Xj_`jY`^^\jk

FAVOURITE:
Sir Henry,
with three
Lonsdale
British and
Empire
heavyweight
belts, proved
more popular
than world
champ Haye
IT IS not hard to imagine
what Sir Henry Cooper
would have had to say
when the forthcoming
slag-fest between David
Haye and Wladimir
Klitschko breaks out.
The bluff, no-nonsense
Cockneys demand for a bit of
respect and grace which would
have greeted the renewal of the
trash-talk war between the
modern heavyweights would
have made big headlines, too.
Until his death on Sunday,
Enrys reputation and voice
still resonated throughout
boxing and beyond, 40
years after his last ght.
Yet if the differences in
style outside of the ring
between the old-fashioned
gent Cooper and the
seemingly brash, sometimes
disdainful Haye are vast,
there is also, at the deepest
level of what happens
between the ropes, a notable
similarity.
It is not just their shared
south London roots. More than
that, both men have shared a
willingness to be fearless and to
confront adversity at the fraught
edges of their hard business.
In Hayes case, it has yet to
catapult him towards opponents
of the quality faced by Cooper
one word: Ali and the paucity of
the division means it never will.
But it has already brought him a
version of the world title Enry
never won.
In the sad aftermath of
Coopers death at 76 and the
widespread mourning and
outpouring of admiration it has
created, Haye has the chance
later this summer to remind the
British public that, beyond all
the bluster, he shares the same
ghting spirit as the most popular
boxer in the nations history.
He can re-cement into place a
love affair with their sport which
has been tested sorely in recent
times not least by Haye himself
in his mismatched ght with
Audley Harrison but which still
endures powerfully.
When Haye meets Klitschko in
Hamburg on July 2 a ticket row
permitting in a bid to unify his
WBA belt with the WBO and IBF
versions held by the Ukrainian, it
will be one of those occasions
which is a reminder that Britain
still loves a big ght night like few
other sporting events.
It will be a summer evening
and every bar in the land will be
over-spilling for this true test
of Hayes credentials as a
heavyweight.
In fact, before 57,000 at
Hamburgs Imtech Arena, the
attendance will outstrip the
crowds which witnessed Coopers
most famous nights against
Cassius Clay, as he was then
known, at Wembley in 1963
35,000 and then again when his
nemesis had become Muhammad
Ali, at Highbury in 1966, where
there were 40,000.
Cooper, it was said, knew his
limitations as a stylist, but he
always fought like a lion, often
through a mask of blood. And
there was always Enrys Ammer,
his fabled left hook which oored
Clay at Wembley, to be called
upon.
A record of 14 defeats in a
55-ght career which included
one draw suggests that Cooper
was correct in his self-analysis.
Yet these aws never diminished
his standing with a public which
adored and respected him
immensely because he was so
much one of them. And because
they never hindered his courage
and determination to make the
very best of what he had.
Frank Bruno was his true
inheritor, both in terms of
popularity and in perseverance,
although his reign as world
champion was brief.
Ironically, Lennox Lewis, by
far the nest of all British
heavyweights, never enjoyed the
same affection.
And now, in the era of Haye,
the public senses it has a unique
and highly skilled ghter but
cannot be truly sure about him
until he takes on his biggest
challenge against Klitschko.
True enough, Hayes mouth
runs off in graceless fashion and
he was publicly rebuked by
Cooper for a particularly tasteless
attack on Wladimir in 2009. The
build-up to Hamburg will indeed
be ugly, but Hayes charisma
usually shines through and you
get the sense he is simply suiting
the needs of a global media
industry, which is more voracious
than in Coopers days at the top.
It is a fact, too, that his
heavyweight reign has yet to be
spectacular.
The acionados know, however,
that Haye is a sharp, accurate,
highly mobile and clever boxer
with a huge heart who is always
willing to take risks.
When he climbed from the
canvas to take the WBA and
WBC cruiserweight belts from
Frenchman Jean-Marc Mormeck
in Paris in 2007, it fashioned the
truest vision of the character he
will take with him into the ring in
Hamburg in July.
And he also has his own version
of the Ammer, in his Hayemaker
right hand. Cooper understood
this and long ago tipped him for
success.
Haye has his own reasons for
seeking glory in Germany. If he
achieves it by calling upon his
own reserves of the boxing
values which drove Cooper, it will
ensure him at least a small taste
of the love and affection the
British public heaped upon
Our Enry for so many enduring
decades.

Foster is Saints saviour
FOSTER: Penalty leveller
STEVE FINN maintained
he is happy slipping
under the radar at the
moment which is just as
well because day one of
Middlesexs Division Two
Championship match
against Gloucestershire
tomorrow is not likely to
break crowd records.
But if you thought the big
mans 6ft 7in frame had drifted
under the radar of those who
matter in the England set-up
after what he himself describes
as a disappointing winter, you
would be much mistaken.
Finn may be no better than
an outside bet to make the Test
squad to face Sri Lanka after an
Ashes series that saw him burn
brightly yet all too briey, but he
is very much part of their plans.
He admitted yesterday at
Lords that he has had no
contact with the powers that
be. But last week he met up to
discuss progress with Englands
physio and conditioning coach.
He remains a work in progress
as far as England are concerned.
Centrally contracted players
are just on loan to their counties,
in his case Middlesex, and not
the other way round.
Finn, 22, made a blistering
start to his England Test career,
which numbers 11 games, and
he has 46 wickets. However,
over the nal three, at Brisbane,
Adelaide and Perth, an
inability to provide the
economy Andrew Strauss
and coach Andy Flower
demanded if not the
wickets he got 14 cost
him his place for the
Ashes nale.
It was a rst setback
and one that still
hurts deeply.
Straussy told me
on Christmas Day
during the practice
session before the
Boxing Day Test
that I was going to
be left out and the
reasons why. But it
was pretty obvious
I was going for too
many runs, he
said. I understood
why and I did not
feel bitter.
But to be on the
sidelines in your
bib, mixing drinks
during the two most
important moments
of the series and
the most historic
moments for any
England cricketer,
really hurt. Those
sort of things you
remember for a long
time and I dont want
it to happen again.
Returning stronger
has, therefore, been the
redemptive theme of Finns
spring. And when he returns to
the England set-up and few
believe he will not he says it
will be as a better, more
economical bowler.
To that end, he is hoping to
continue a bright start in a
Championship in which he has
contributed 16 wickets, at under
19 apiece, to an unbeaten start
by Middlesex.
He said: I know that I will
have to work mighty hard to get
back. It is going to take some
eye-catching performances, but
hopefully I can get there.
Finn is on the rst steps of his
career but knows inconsistency
accompanies young bowlers and
that the antidote is overs.
He has bowled 116 of them so
far this season and, although he
insists there is no noticeable
change in his action or, for that
matter, his physique, he feels he
is cutting out the four-balls
that cut short his Test winter.
I knew what was going wrong
in Australia but an Ashes series
is not an easy place to correct
things. You need to step back
and you cannot do that in the
middle of a Test match. But I
feel a better bowler now after
the experience and if I can use
that to help my career then all
the better, he said. Ive bowled
plenty of overs this season and
things are going well.
Finn concedes that Jimmy
Anderson, Stuart Broad, Chris
Tremlett, Tim Bresnan and
possibly Ajmal Shahzad
may be considered to
have their noses in
front of his, and
that Chris Woakes
and Graham
Onions may be
breathing down
his neck.
And such a
list makes his
appearance in
Mi ddl es ex s
game against
Sri Lanka at
Uxbridge on
May 14 or the
England Lions
showdown at
Derbyshire ve
days later more likely
than a call to Cardiff for
next months rst Test.
But once he can get
himself back on to that
radar, then he intends to
stay on it.
MICHAEL YARDY
returned to action for the
rst time since returning
from the World Cup with
depression by captaining
Sussex in the Clydesdale40
victory over the Netherlands
yesterday. He took one
wicket and scored 39.

JAMIE FOSTERs late
penalty earned
St Helens a dramatic
point which did nothing
for coach Royce
Simmons blood
pressure on his 51st
birthday.
A hat-trick of tries
from Kirk Yeaman
looked to have given
Hull a third successive
win, but Saints refused
to throw in the towel
and not for the rst
time this season, Foster
came up with the goods
under pressure four
minutes from time
when Danny Washbrook
was adjudged to have
taken out debutant
Nathan Ashe in the air.
Bath-bound Kyle
Eastmond, back in
action for the rst time
since being disciplined
by the club in March,
went for a drop-goal
winner that would have
put Saints a point clear
at the top but it was
charged down.
Saints, decimated by
injury, were 18-0 down
to a revitalised Hull but
turned it around in
thrilling fashion.
Our ball control in
the rst half was very
poor and that burns up
a lot of energy, said
Simmons. Ill go away
happy with a point.
Two Yeaman tries and
another by Tom Briscoe
stunned Saints but
they hauled themselves
back through Foster,
only for Tom Armstrong
to grab Hulls fourth.
The second half was
all Saints and James
Roby, Ade Gardner and
Tony Puletua capped a
stunning comeback,
Fosters goal pushing
them ahead for the rst
time.
Hull regrouped and
Yeaman completed the
fth hat-trick of his
career. Danny Tickles
conversion reclaimed
the lead but Foster had
the last word.

NEW SENSATION:
Judd Trump
Johnsons
torment at
title failure
By Tony Paskin
ADAM JOHNSON has admitted he
is frustrated by Manchester Citys
failure to challenge for the title.
Roberto Mancinis side tightened
their grip on a Champions League
spot with a 2-1 win over West Ham
on Sunday, moving seven points
clear of Liverpool and Tottenham.
They also have an FA Cup nal
against Stoke to look forward to on
May 14 as they look to end a 35-year
trophy drought.
But Johnson acknowledges that
City, who have been in the top four
since September and briey led the
table in January, should have
produced a more sustained push for
the Premier League title.
They are 11 points adrift of leaders
Manchester United with a game in
hand and Johnson, whose return
from an ankle problem has given
City another dimension, said: Im
disappointed that we are not in
there. We should be and a lot of
neutral people think we should be
with the squad we have.
There were a couple of iffy results
which we should have won, but it
has been a learning process for us.
Mancinis squad has been
regularly subjected to questions over
its unity after a string of bust-ups.
But Johnson claims the group is
the closest he has ever worked with,
tighter even than his former squad
at Middlesbrough which contained a
host of home-grown players. He said:
We have the belief. Its just about
going on the pitch and doing it.
I dont think beating United in
the FA Cup semi-nal made a major
difference around the club, we
always had that belief.
A lot is made about us not being a
close group but Ive not been in a
better dressing room for banter and
the lads knitting as one.
Johnson claims the Champions
League has been his dream since
watching Newcastles brushes with
Europes top competition more than
a decade ago.
Kenny Dalglishs side beat
Barcelona 3-2 on one memorable
night at St James Park and Johnson
wants a slice of that next season.
I used to watch Newcastle in the
Champions League, he said.
I remember Barcelona and those
nights Faustino Asprilla and
people like that.
Night matches were a bit special
for me. I cant remember if I was
allowed to stay up, actually, but I
remember the 3-2 game against
Barcelona. Keith Gillespie set a few
up with crosses. It was a game that
stuck in my memory.
As an Englishman growing up,
watching English clubs in the
Champions League was massive.
Midelder Nigel de Jong will have
a scan on his hip problem today and
hopes to be available to face Everton
on Saturday.
AMBITION: Johnson, left, wants more
JOHN HIGGINS last night
placed an emotional fourth
world title at the top of his
list of achievements.
He outlasted the 21-year-old
tournament sensation Judd Trump
18-15 in a thrilling nal at the
Betfred.com World Championship
in Shefeld. It earned him 250,000
and puts him clear in fourth
place in the all-time pantheon of
champions.
Only Stephen Hendry with
seven titles and Steve Davis and
Ray Reardon, with six, stand above
him. And yesterdays Crucible glory
came just 12 months after the
frame-xing affair that turned his
world upside down.
Higgins, who has now won 24
ranking titles, was cleared of all
corruption charges but banned
for six months and ned 75,000
on lesser charges.
He returned in November in
superb form, winning the UK
Championship before Christmas.
But Higgins, 35, was hit by
another blow earlier this
year when father John
Snr lost his battle
with cancer.
Last night, he
emerged to
Needles and Pins
by the Searchers
his fathers
favourite song.
And in a crackling
Crucible atmosphere, Wizard of
Wishaw Higgins and new star
Trump put on a match betting of
the occasion to light up the arena.
Cheered on by wife Denise, his
children and other family, Higgins
pulled away from Trump in the nal
stages. And he clinched victory in
characteristically determined style,
coming back from 60-0 down and
getting a snooker on the pink to
pinch it 62-61.
Despite missing 15
tournaments during his
ban, Higgins has still
remained at No2 in the
world rankings. And this
took his half-season
earnings to 472,000 well
clear of all his rivals.
Higgins said: It was an
unbelievable feeling as I
potted the nal black.
With everything
that has happened,
I rate this as by far
the biggest and
best of my four
titles here. That is three in the past
ve years and now I want seven. I
have got a few years left to battle it
out with the likes of Judd.
I must give him huge credit I
was frightened of him out there and
he plays a brand of snooker I have
never seen before. Im certain he is
a future multiple world champion.
The atmosphere at the entrance
out there tonight was something I
will remember until my dying day. I
have won big titles, but never in my
life have I heard anything like it.
If you had told me I would miss
15 tournaments this season and
then it would end like this, I would
never have believed you.
Higgins beat Stephen Lee in the
rst round, then Rory McLeod,
Ronnie OSullivan and Mark
Williams in the semi-nal went the
same way. And this years world
title can be added to those he won
in 1998, 2007 and 2009.
Trump, though, can take pride in
his displays which saw him beat
two former world champions in
Neil Robertson and Graeme Dott.
It has just been incredible right
from the start of the 17 days, he
said. I have built up this huge
fanbase which has given me such
great support. The whole experience
has been mind-blowing and I cant
be too disappointed about losing
the nal after playing like that.
I lost to the better player in
John, he deserved to win but I will
be back for another crack at this.
Trump shot to prominence by
winning the recent China Open,
making it clear he would be a force
to be reckoned with in Shefeld as
he surfed a winning streak.
He emerged yesterday afternoon
with a surprise 10-7 lead over his
vastly more experienced opponent.
A Higgins onslaught was all too
predictable, but Trump held his
own over the rst four frames,
breaks of 104 and 99 keeping him
12-9 ahead.
However, a huge moment in the
22nd frame cost Trump the chance
of opening up a four-frame
advantage. In characteristically
bold fashion he took on a risky blue,
not only missing it but leaving it
over the pocket to allow Higgins to
close the gap.
And sensing a turning point,
three-time winner Higgins turned
up the heat on the young
left-hander.
He rattled in breaks of 93, 113
and 57 to make it four frames on
the spin and ensured it was him
who went into the evening climax
with a lead of 13-12.
It looked ominous when Higgins
took that run to ve frames, but
Trump kept hopes alive by hitting
back, taking advantage of rare
errors to level at 14-14.
But Higgins ultimately showed
his experience and class to pull
clear at the end.

SPORT IN BRIEF
ADEL TAARABT has
kicked off a worrying week
for QPR by questioning
whether he will still be with
them next season.
They face a Football Association
hearing about midelder Alejandro
Faurlins eligibility, knowing it is a
threat to their promotion to the
Premier League.
If found guilty of knowing that
Argentinian Faurlin was owned by
a third party apart from the club,
in breach of FA regulations,
Rangers could be ned but could
also be docked points.
That would threaten their
automatic promotion as winners
of the Championship and could
also throw the play-offs into chaos,
with the possibility of appeal
hearings and matches having to
be rearranged.
With the verdict due on Friday,
QPR are now forced to endure an
anxious wait after the euphoria
of their 2-0 win at Watford that
should have taken them up to the
top ight.
And Taarabts teasing response
to questions about his future will
only increase the tension for
Rangers and their supporters.
I am very happy with what Ive
achieved at QPR. Now we have all
summer and after that I will see
with the manager what they want
to do and then we will take a
decision, said Moroccan Taarabt.
He joined QPR from Tottenham
last summer for 1million but his
transfer value has soared as he has
scored 19 goals and become the
Championships Player of the Year.
I hope I can prove to Spurs that
they made a mistake to sell me,
added Taarabt.
I have nothing against Harry
Redknapp. The last time I saw
him, he joked with me, I sold you
for 1m and now you must be worth
8-9m. The chairman will kill me.
Taarabt, 21, has blossomed in
his time at Loftus Road after being
made captain by Neil Warnock,
who has become an inuential
gure in his career and could yet
be able to persuade him to stay in
west London.
Neil told me when he arrived
at the club that one of the ve
previous managers had told him,
This boy will get you the sack,
said Taarabt.
But Neil told me that after
watching me in his rst training
session, he called back and told
him, No chance. I cannot get rid
of him with talent like this. I have
to make him what he can be.
Taarabt also revealed Faurlin
felt that he had let his team-mates
down when his case was rst
exposed.
He added: The rst few days
Alejandro was a little bit worried
because he may have thought
that the lads would blame him.
But we told him, Dont worry, it
isnt your fault.
Rangers did not cheat or do
anything wrong. We have played
every match with 11 men against
11. I dont know what is happening
upstairs but the FA will come to
their decision and then we will see
what happens.
We have won the Championship.
If the FA take that away it would
be a disaster for every player but
I will still tell people I am a
champion.
Despite the fear of League
sanction, Warnock is drawing up
his shopping list for the summer.
Rangers are keeping tabs on
Watford hot-shot Danny Graham,
who has scored 27 goals for the
Hornets this season. They are
believed to be tabling a 3m bid,
with former Watford favourite
Heidar Helguson moving in the
opposite direction.
The Hoops also hope to snap up
wantaway Glasgow Rangers
defender Madjid Bougherra in a
cut-price 1m deal.
Defender Clint Hill, meanwhile,
will undergo an operation to clear
up an ankle problem.
Warnock said: Clint has played
43 matches this season but, if you
saw the bits oating around in his
ankle on the X-ray, you wouldnt
even know how he had managed
20 of the those.

JOHN SCALES is tipping

Liverpool to beat Tottenham
in this months clash at Aneld,
which could settle who qualies
for the Europa League.
Scales, who spent two years at
Liverpool and four at Spurs,
cannot recall a bigger encounter
between the sides in recent years,
but feels the momentum is with
Liverpool, who leapfrogged Spurs
and moved to fth in the table at
the weekend.
He said: Tottenham have a very
tough run-in when you havent got
the momentum, but they have a
game in hand on Liverpool.
A resurgent Liverpool have put
game. Its too close to call who will
nish fth and Im torn between
the two. Spurs have been so great
in Europe this year, so to miss out
completely would be a real shock.
PHILIPPE SENDEROS wants

to make up for his injury
nightmare by helping Fulham
nish in the top half of the table.
Swiss defender Senderos signed
in the summer but suffered an
Achilles problem in training before
the season had even started.
He made his debut in Fulhams
would be a good year for us all.
Eidur Gudjohnsen, meanwhile,
would be prepared to turn his loan
move at Craven Cottage into a
permanent transfer from Stoke. He
said: Id be glad to stay if both
parties can agree something. Its a
great just to be playing again.

WEST HAM co-owner
David Sullivan has
defended himself and
his directors no-show
at Manchester City
and issued a rallying
cry for the Premier
Leagues basement
club, warning there
is no room for
errors or bad luck.
Eyebrows were
raised when
neither Sullivan,
joint chairman
David Gold,
vice-chair
Karren Brady
nor honorary
life-president
Terry Brown
attended the
2-1 defeat, the
Hammers fth
straight loss.
But Sullivan said
yesterday: We would
never miss a home game,
however we do not think
missing an away game
thats on TV over a Bank
Holiday weekend is
signicant.
I doubt any chairman
has missed less league
games than myself and
David Gold over the past
20 years.
Watching our poor
away performances week
after week and not having
the ability to inuence
things has impacted on us.
My family think Im
mad devoting so much
time and money to the
club and, as the match
was on TV, I decided to
watch it.
We couldnt inuence
the result. We donated the
cost of a private plane to a
charity for terminally ill
children, we thought that
would do more good.
None of us draw any
salary or expenses from
West Ham. We are not
20,000-60,000-a-week
footballers.
We will be at Wigan
(West Hams last away
game on May 15) as will
4,500 supporters. We all
need to pull together and
hope for the best.
If we play like we
played on Sunday after
the rst 20 minutes, it
might just be enough. But
we have no room for errors
or bad luck now.
Julian Dicks believes the
lazy attitude of some
players could cost West
Ham their place in the
Premier League and lead
to the sacking of manager
Avram Grant. Former
Hammers defender Dicks
says Grant must bear
overall responsibility for
the dismal season, but
maintains they would not
be in such a perilous
situation had a number of
players put in the effort.
The last three games
are about the players
now, said Dicks. They
have to stand up and be
counted.
They are all on good
money and its about time
that they started to earn
it. That hasnt been the
case with some of them
this season.
There are a few players
who arent good enough.
Thats not their fault, but
there are some players
who are good enough
who just dont work
hard enough.

Canaries fly after
Jacksons thriller
Picture: HENRY BROWNE
By Michael Johns
MANAGER Paul Lambert
described promotion to the
Premier League as a
miracle after victory over
Portsmouth sealed a return
to the top ight.
He guided Norwich out of League
One last year and Simeon Jacksons
winner at Fratton Park means his
team are guaranteed second place
in the Championship.
Its incredible what these players
have just done and two seasons
with back-to-back promotions is a
miracle, said Lambert. The main
thing was to survive after coming
up, but hopefully this will give the
club the nancial backing.
Lambert, 41, a European Cup
winner as a player, added: This is
up there with anything Ive done.
He will relish rubbing shoulders
with Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene
Wenger next season after a career
that has taken him from Livingston
to Wycombe and Colchester before
his move to Carrow Road. After this,
it is no wonder he is considered one
of the hottest managerial properties
in the country.
He will fancy his chances in the
top ight too, and he could be a
breath of fresh air in the way that
Ian Holloway has been at Blackpool.
Cardiffs shock 3-0 home defeat
by Middlesbrough earlier in the day
meant that Lamberts team knew
victory would seal promotion with a
game to spare.
Jackson struck in the 50th minute
by heading home David Foxs deep
cross. It was a ninth goal in seven
matches for the striker, formerly of
Rushden and Gillingham, who will
now be lining up against Chelsea
and Manchester United. He said:
It has been a magnicent effort by
everyone. I cant believe it.
The Canaries dropped out of the
Premier League six seasons ago and
hit rock-bottom when they were at
the foot of League One on the rst
day of last season after their 7-1
defeat by Colchester.
Their reaction was to hire the
opposition manager and, 20 months
later, Lamberts Norwich are the
rst team to achieve successive
promotions to reach the top ight
since Manchester City in 2000.
They could even be crowned
champions if the FA hit QPR with
a points deduction following the
Alejandro Faurlin transfer affair.
That has never bothered me,
said Lambert. To win the league?
Id want that, but we cannot do any
more than win our last match.
Majority shareholder Delia Smith
celebrated on the touchline with
Lambert after the nal whistle as
fans spilled on to the pitch. She gave
her famous Lets Be Avin You
speech last time Norwich were in
the Premier League, in 2005. This
time, she settled for: Im absolutely
ecstatic. I really cant believe this.
I am wondering whether Ill wake
up in the morning and all this has
not happened. What an amazing
two seasons we have had after
relegation and then two successive
promotions. Paul has done a terric
job. I think he is the tops a brilliant
manager.
Skipper Grant Holt, who has
spearheaded the promotion push
with 22 goals, was full of praise for
Lambert too. The gaffer has been
fantastic, he said. He is a motivator
and has been great for us. We have
worked hard and I think when were
on it theres no one better. We have
great team spirit and desire. Its a
joy being with each other.
Pompey boss Steve Cotterill said:
Congratulations to Norwich. But
this is the two sides of football. Im
delighted for their owners, who are
proper football people. But with a
bit of help and just a few more
players, that might have been us.

BARCELONAS Champions League semi-nal

second leg with Real Madrid should be stripped
of its El Clasico status, according to Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal boss Wenger said: They call it El Clasico,
but last weeks game was a non-Clasico.
It was a game decided on the sending-off, which
looked a bit harsh. You have to say, football-wise,
Barcelona are ahead of anybody in Europe and its
difcult to beat them purely on commitment.
BARCELONA and Real
Madrid have carried on their
war of words, exchanging
accusations, reprimands and
dark hints about racism,
conspiracies, violent play
and mutual antagonism.
On the eve of the Champions
league semi-final second leg at the
Nou Camp, Barcelona midfielder
Xavi called Madrid pathetic and
lamentable.
Madrid assistant coach Aitor
Karanka responded by accusing
Barcelona of racist language and
claimed the match was now less
important than UEFAs decision
against Madrid. UEFAS decision
not to proceed with our complaint
means the game itself becomes
secondary, said Karanka.
That organisation talk about
principles like respect and fair play
and yet nothing has happened.
There are values [in life which are
more important] and against
that, here the football passes into
a lesser importance. This is an
organisation who have T-shirts
devoted so much time to focusing
on, and arguing about, non-football
issues around this game, he said.
OK, I personally think it is
pathetic and lamentable that the
clubs are denouncing each other
to UEFA and it is also lamentable
what has been claimed about us.
But this can be a great game.
We will attack because we are
always loyal to our philosophy of
football and I really want the fans
to see a great game.
Having said all that, I am not
tired of playing Madrid, this is
pressure, this is tension, I love the
challenge and its what every top
player wants to be doing at this
time of year.
debating a video issued by Real
Madrid which purported to show
Sergio Busquets calling Madrid
full-back Marcelo a monkey.
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola
used verbal dexterity in avoiding
any confirmation that he knew
Busquets had used such language,
but added: Were going to be very
upset if its proved that one of our
players made racist comments
against Madrid and we will take
action.
But then UEFA have to decide,
no one else.
UEFA have rejected Madrids
pleas for eight Barcelona players
to be sanctioned for persistent
and pre-meditated unsporting
behaviour in the first leg.
European footballs governing
body have also dismissed
Barcelonas counter-claims
not to accept either
clubs claims against the
other following the
stormy first leg which
Barca won 2-0.
There will be a player
on the pitch that racially
abused another player,
while others who have
done nothing wrong
wont be there, said
Karanka. Spain has been
I wasnt allowed by
my parents to go to
Wembley last time
Barcelona won the
European Cup there
(their first victory in this
competition, against
Sampdoria in 1992) but
they let my brothers go
which upset me. So it
would be very special to
go there this time and do
and messages talking about fair
play and respect and yet we have
seen the images which have been
round the world, including a player
making racist insults and covering
his mouth to make it so that you
cant see it.
But he will be on the pitch,
along with others. Other players
who have done nothing wrong
wont be. That is the most
important thing today. The
football is not.
What Karanka failed to address
was the fact that thousands of
Real Madrid fans made monkey
noises at defender Dani Alves in
the Bernabeu.
Xavi, for his part, despite his
critcism of Madrid, introduced a
note of perspective by saying his
club were not faultless either. I
worry that so many people have
it by defeating our historic rivals.
Just as the nonsense Jose
Mourinho spouted last week
obscured Lionel Messis pair of
outstanding goals, the fact that
amid all the abuse the startling
news that, six weeks after having a
tumour excised from his liver, Eric
Abidal is back in the Barcelona
squad was also lost.
It was the triumph of the human
spirit, rather than just adding a
top-class defender, which caught
the imagination.
Barcelona had said that Abidal
would not return until next season
but there he was last night training
fully after his team-mates greeted
him with rousing applause.
If there has to be a final word it
should be Guardiolas. After
tomorrow all this will be finished,
he said. Thats good.

way the players look
after their bodies, the
way that clubs and
national sides employ so
many people to look
after them means they
are better conditioned.
So yes, I would now
say that Messi is the
very best, but you would
wonder just how much
better Maradona or Pele
would have been if they
had the advantage of
such advancements in
the game.
Messi simply needs
to carry on the way he is
and his recognition as
the nest of all time will
not be long arriving.
The big difference is
that Maradona played in
Argentina then in Italy,
while Pele stayed in
Brazil, and during their
time the pressures were
less intense than they
are now.
Messi is under
constant pressure and
has to play in incredibly
high-intensity games all
of the time, the
Champions League
being the perfect
example.
I certainly do not
subscribe to the
argument most widely
held against Messi, that
he needs to be a World
Cup winner like Diego
and Pele before he can
be the worlds greatest.
George Best never
played in the World Cup
but he is still recognised
as one of the all-time
greats, Alfredo Di
Stefano never won the
World Cup and Ryan
Giggs has never played
in one.
Ardiles, who also
managed Newcastle and
Swindon as well as
abroad, added: If it is
going to be Manchester
United against Barcelona
in the Wembley nal as
we all suspect, then it is
going to be very difcult
for United because of
Messi. Barcelona are a
very good team, superb,
but with Messi they are
special, simple as that.
He takes them to a
different level.
It is incredible to
think that there was a
physical problem with
him as a boy and that
they thought he would
never be able to take the
demands of football.
The fact that he has
scored 52 goals is simply
incredible as he is not an
authentic scorer in the
sense he is not a
centre-forward or a
striker. He is the
archetypal No 10, like a
Maradona, Pele or a
Bobby Charlton.

THE arguments in favour of
goal-line technology are so strong
even FIFA will be convinced soon.
But Chelsea scored two dodgy
goals against Spurs. Goal-line
technology would have ruled out
the rst, but then there would have
been an almighty row about
Salomon Kalous late winner.
Harry Redknapp would have
said: We can put a man on the
moon, we can check whether a ball
has crossed the goal-line, but we
cant look at a TV and get an offside
decision right. Its diabolical. And
match after match, the calls for still
more technology would continue.
I BOUGHT tickets among home
punters at Watford, close to a
knuckle-dragger, who kept up
a witless monologue about
the opposition, going
through his limited
vocabulary of profanities.
When QPR scored, one
chap near us stood up,
cheered briey and sat down.
Knuckle-dragger spat threats in
the QPR guys face and tried to get
others to attack him.
Of course, all clubs have nutters.
Of course, segregation is important.
But, although QPR fans and I dont
get on, I understand why one would
sneak in to see his team win the
league. Yet that is seen as a crime,
while the vileness of the knuckle-
dragger is not only tolerated but
seen by many as obligatory.

the clamour of

remember one thing the
biggest blunder at the weekend
was not by a ref. It wasnt even
by the assistant ref, Mike Cairns,
who thought Frank Lampards
shot had crossed the line. It was
by Heurelho Gomes, Spurs
clown in orange, who
let the ball reach
the line.

A
CCORDING to
orni thol ogi sts,
the numbers of
cuckoos nesting
in the UK are
declining so
quickly that their distinctive
song, which heralds spring,
might soon be lost for ever.
Never mind. Well still have Sir
Alex Fergusons completely cuckoo
appraisal of referees occurring with
predictable regularity.
With one-eyed bias so laughable
that at rst you wondered if he was
joking, the Moanchester manager
complained that Chris Foy missed a
penalty for United at Arsenal.
Foy should also have awarded the
Gunners a spot-kick, but with the
incurably partisans skewed logic
Ferguson reasoned that one was
difcult to see, so Foy should have
given the United one which should
have been easier to notice.
Meanwhile Jose Mourinho has
been handed an alibi for the likely
defeat of his Real
Madrid team in the
Champions League
semi-nal second
leg tonight.
UEFA have put
Frank de Bleeckere in
charge one of ve
referees Mourinho has
already accused of favouring
Barcelona.
You will remember the imperious
Portuguese protested that the ve,
all of different nationalities, were
part of a long-term, international
conspiracy to help Barca.
Why do you think they would do
that Jose?
Umbecause the Catalan club
support a childrens charity.
And so Ferguson and the man
who wants his job have unwittingly
proved two universal truths about
football.
The rst is that everyone who
cares about any club believes that
club get hurt by poor refereeing
decisions. The second is that
decisions which benet that club
are shrugged off as
part of the game.
The conclusive
evidence is provided
by Mourinhos career
and reputation,
because both were
built on winning the
Champions League with
Porto in 2004. And he only
achieved that with the help of two
refereeing mistakes.
He succeeded in eliminating
Manchester United because, on the
advice of an assistant, referee
Valentin Ivanov ruled out a Paul
Scholes goal for offside. Replays
showed Scholes was clearly onside.
Four of Mourinhos players were
nearer the goal-line when the ball
was played to him.
Then, in the semi-nal, Deportivo
La Corunas Jorge Andrade was
sent off by Markus Merk: a decision
so silly even Portos Deco protested.
There have been other key
moments in Mourinhos career
when referees have helped him. For
his second Champions League
triumph, with Inter Milan last
season, he needed the unintentional
aid of referee Mejuto Gonzalez to
eliminate Chelsea. The Spanish
ofcial did not give a penalty for a
blatant trip on Salomon Kalou in
the rst leg.
Yet you do not hear Mourinho
saying: Why Ivanov? Why Merk?
Why Gonzalez? Is it because I once
put a euro in a charity tin?
There is a special nastiness about
the Special Ones referee-baiting.
To shore up his own renown he
thinks nothing of trashing honest
men doing a thankless job to the
best of their ability.
Yet how many times this season
has Stokes Tony Pullis told us he
has been on the wrong end of a bad
decision? How many times has
Blackpools Ian Holloway been
spitting feathers about match
ofcials? And so on and so on.
We all do it. We all nd the
decisions that go against our teams
unacceptable but forget those that
help us. It turns out there is no
shortage of cuckoos after all.

just wrong
PATRICE EVRA will not
have performed a forensic
analysis of contentious
decisions this season but
he refuses to blame referee
Chris Foy for Manchester
Uniteds title setback .
Clearly with one eye on the
decider with Chelsea on Sunday,
Sir Alex Ferguson complained
after the defeat by Arsenal that
key decisions do n ot go Uniteds
way in major games.
But his claim simply does n ot
stack up when you look at the
most controversial moments in
Uniteds campaign. So far nine
major decisions have gone for
them and six against.
Evra believes that blaming
Foy only masked Uniteds own
shortcomings at the Emirates
on Sunday.
The saying goes that two
wrongs dont make a right but
at least the decisions of Foy and
his assistants balanced out
leaving both teams aggrieved.
In the rst half, Nemanja Vidic
clearly handled Theo Walcotts
cross to deny Robin van Persie a
headed chance, while late in the
game Michael Owen was fouled
by Gael Clichy in the box as he
attempted to convert Wayne
Rooneys pass into an equaliser.
Arsenals anger of course was
diluted because they took the
three points, while Evra was
more concerned by Uniteds
sub-standard display, which has
made Chelseas visit to Old
Trafford so important.
And he pulled no punches
when he admitted that United
were guilty of basking in the
afterglow of their Champions
League semi-nal rst-leg win
over Schalke last Tuesday.
The problem [against
Arsenal] was Manchester
United, not the referee, said
Evra. It is easy to nd some
excuse. We did not play the
United way and, when we dont
play the United way, we dont
deserve anything.
Maybe we were too nice and
relaxed because we played very
well against Schalke and maybe
our minds were still on that
game. We didnt deserve to win
at Arsenal on Sunday.
In the rst half they played
much better than us. In the
second half we played in the
right way only after we conceded
the goal, but that is not enough
if you want to win the title. We
didnt feel in trouble. We knew
how Arsenal would play.
Normally when we visit the
Emirates we play with speed,
power and aggression and create
more chances . That is why I am
very disappointed.
United, effectively 18 points
ahead when they led 1-0 at
Stamford Bridge on March 1 a
match they lost 2-1 have seen
that lead whittled down to three
points, while their goal difference
is now the same as Chelseas.
Evra knows it is now effectively
a case of win or bust on Sunday
because both teams will be
expected to win their last two
games; United have Blackburn
away and Blackp ool at home,
while Chelsea are at home to
Newcastle and away on the nal
day to Everton.
He added: We have our
destiny in our hands. We have a
massive game against Chelsea. If
we want to win the title then we
have to beat Chelsea, its as
simple as that. If we dont beat
them, then well be in trouble.
We have three games left and
need to win every game. Every
game is a nal.
United have had more
decisions go for them than
against this season. Gary Neville
could have been sent off at Stoke
and West Brom, Vidic escaped a
red card at West Ham, while
Rooney was n ot even punished
with a caution for his elbow on
Wigans James McCarthy.
Anderson, for tripping
Newcastles Peter Lovenkrands
and Rio Ferdinand, for pushing
over Evertons Victor Anichebe,
got away with penalty decisions .
And no one will forget how
Mark Clattenburg allowed Nani
to tap the ball into an empty
net after Tottenham goalkeeper
Heurelho Gomes had mistakenly
placed it for a free-kick.
Probably the biggest break of
all was when Evra chopped down
Chelseas Ramires for what
looked a stonewall penalty in the
Champions League quarter-nal
rst leg against Chelsea, only for
the referee to remain unmoved.
But United can point to Ni kola
Zigics push on Ferdinand
that set up Lee Bowyer for
Birminghams equaliser when
the sides met in December.
There was Danny Simpsons
trip on Javier Hernandez at
Newcastle when, to add insult to
anger, the striker was booked for
diving, plus Jamie Carraghers
escape with a yellow card for his
horric tackle on Nani.
What is most concerning
Ferguson in the build-up to
Sundays match is the feeling at
United that the Ramires
decision apart they have been
on the wrong end of a number of
controversial decisions against
Chelsea over the years.
Didier Drogba was offside
when he struck Chelseas winner
in the game at Old Trafford a
year ago . And last season, United
were unhappy on three counts
over John Terrys winner at
Stamford Bridge. They contested
the free-kick awarded against
Darren Fletcher, claimed Wes
Brown had been pushed over in
the box when the cross came in
and that Terry was offside .
Frank Lampards penalty
winner in the Premier League
game at Stamford Bridge last
month was the third time
Chelsea have been awarded a
penalty against United.
Lampard also scored one in
2004 when Joe Cole went to
ground easily under Roy
Keanes challenge and again in
2008, when Michael Ballack
scored from the spot after
a ball-to-hand controversy
involving Michael Carrick.
Twenty-four hours before the
defeat at Arsenal , Ferguson was
at Stamford Bridge to see
Chelsea get the benet of two
controversial goals.
And Fergie-watchers believe
his complaint at the Emirates
was clearly designed more as
a marker for this Sundays
showdown than anything else.
Forget the
ref, we are
to blame
says Evra

CLOSING DATES FOR TITLE BATTLE

Ferguson hurls

By Matt Law
CARLO ANCELOTTI has thrown down the
gauntlet to Fernando Torres to prove he
should keep his place for Chelseas decisive
clash at Manchester United.
Manager Ancelotti believes his team have
given themselves a fantastic chance of
winning the title after closing the gap on
United to three points.
Victory at Old Trafford on Sunday would
see Chelsea move ahead of United at the top
of the table on goal difference, but Ancelotti
must decide whether to stick with the
misring partnership of Didier Drogba and
50million Torres.
Torres was substituted against Tottenham
last Saturday and replacement Salomon
Kalou scored the winner. Ancelotti, though,
says his team selection for the United
showdown will be made on how Torres and
Co perform in training this week.
To make a decision about the line-up, I
have to forget the past, said Ancelotti. I
have to look at the next training session.
For 60 minutes against Tottenham,
Drogba and Torres were a good
combination. But Torres got a bit tired and
I put Kalou on to try to nd some more
space to attack.
The shape is not so important, its better
that you put the players with the best ability
together. If we want to win there, we have to
use intensity. We did our job, to stay three
points behind Manchester United. Thats
fantastic but now we must prepare well.
Kalou says he has no problem with being
left on the bench for the good of the team.
Its good to know I can come in and help
the team, said Kalou. It doesnt matter
how many minutes I play, its all about team
spirit. Any time they need me, Ill be ready.

WOJCIECH SZCZESNY has taken a swipe
at Arsene Wengers critics and claimed it
would be crazy for anybody at Arsenal to
doubt the best manager in the world.
And goalkeeper Szczesny, above, has also
told captain Cesc Fabregas he would be
making a huge mistake if he quits the
Emirates at the end of the season.
Despite beating Manchester United on
Sunday, Arsenal are set to nish a sixth
successive season without a trophy under
Wenger, but Szczesny insists he is still the
best man for the job.
He said: Its ridiculous. If you ask any of
the players, we will all stand by the manager.
He built this team from nothing and hes the
best manager in the world.
I dont understand why anyone would
want him to leave. You cant blame the boss
that we didnt win anything because he
stood by the team and supported us, so I
dont see why he should take the blame.
We all take individual responsibility for
our mistakes and everyone has played their
part in this seasons disappointments. I
think we just have to take it as a team.
The boss has put his reputation at stake
for players like me, of course. We have a
young team and we have a lot of years in
front of us, and a lot of trophies to win. Lets
be patient and show next year we are good
enough to win the league.
I wouldnt understand anybody leaving
Arsenal. So no, I wouldnt understand Cesc
or anybody else leaving.
Carlo will be
train-spotter
Wenger
is best
