A Saddam Souvenir
President Bush keeps the former dictator's pistol at arm's reach


When Saddam Hussein was rousted from his spider hole in Dawr, a town near Tikrit, by U.S. soldiers last December, Iraq's fallen dictator was clutching a pistol. He is now in detention at an undisclosed location, being questioned by American authorities and awaiting charges for war atrocities and crimes against humanity. But what ever happened to the pistol?

Killing them slowly
Government and industry must act to stop the gradual poisoning of our children


Think back four years to the health crisis that shocked the Government. Thinness was the problem.

Enter the dragon


'The Ford Estate was notorious in the Eighties. I wouldn't have wanted to live there. Always in the papers, always being vandalised, loads of drug use. One of the worst estates in Birkenhead. There was no purpose for those kids, no point, because there were no jobs. Norman Tebbit told us to get on our bikes, but it's quite hard to ride a bike to London on heroin.

Cyber-Church


Die erste Internet-Kirche in Großbritannien hat mit eigenwilligen Besuchern zu kämpfen. Mehrere User missbrauchen die Offenheit des 3D-Portals für Beschimpfungen.
