Security for Bush's visit underway
Security chiefs are today finalising the "unprecedented" policing operation to protect US President George W Bush. They have been placed on Britain's second highest terror alert ahead of Mr Bush's arrival tomorrow. Warnings of an attack by north African al Qaida operatives are said to be unrelated to the first state visit by a US president.
Support grows for anti-Bush demo
Support for a huge demonstration against President George Bush's visit to the UK was growing on the eve of last ditch talks aimed at agreeing a route for the march. Organisers of the demo, due to be held in central London on Thursday, will meet Scotland Yard officers on Monday to try to end deadlock over which roads can be included on the protest march. The Stop The War Coalition said it remained hopeful of reaching an agreement but was insisting that the protest should be allowed to go down Whitehall and close to the Houses of Parliament.
Alicia: Man in court on murder charge
A 39-year-old man is today due in court charged with the murder of college student Alicia Eborne. Bus driver Lee Holbrook from Plymouth will appear before Torbay magistrates this morning. Alicia, 18, was last seen leaving her home in the Dartmoor hamlet of Corntown, Devon, on November 7.
Blair to address business leaders
The Prime Minister is trying to answer concerns from business leaders that the UK was becoming a less attractive investment location for business. Tony Blair was addressing the opening day of the CBI National Conference in Birmingham following a survey which revealed a "deeply worrying" trend of UK firms switching work overseas. A third of 250 company executives questioned said they had relocated activities including call centres, research and development and manufacturing in recent years, mainly to cut costs.
Criminal charges may follow QM2 deaths
Prosecutors could bring criminal charges over the gangplank collapse which killed 15 people trying to board a flagship British cruise liner. The victims, who were all French, plunged 50ft feet while trying to board the Queen Mary 2 at a dry dock in Saint Nazaire, western France. QM2 - worth ｣550 million - is the largest and most expensive passenger ship ever built and was due to sail to Southampton next month ahead of its maiden passenger voyage to the US.
Police appeal over death plunge girls
Detectives are trying to establish the chain of events that led to two teenage girls falling to their deaths from the 11th floor of a block of flats. The girls, aged 16 and 18, fell 120ft from a window in the stairwell of Cecil Court in Jones Close, Southend, Essex Police said. Officers called to the scene at around 3.30am Sunday found one girl dead. The other was taken to nearby Southend General Hospital where she died of her injuries.
Don't talk and drive reminder
A Government advertising campaign reminding people of the imminent ban on using hand-held mobile phones in cars has begun. The radio adverts point out that the ban, which could lead to fines of up to ｣1,000 for offenders, will take effect from December 1. Road safety charity Brake said the ban was being "ruthlessly exploited" by phone companies to sell their hands-free mobile kits which Brake claimed were "just as dangerous" as hand-held mobiles.
Crackdown on illegal immigrants urged
Asylum seekers who arrive in Britain without travel documents should be locked up, a right-wing pressure group said. Migrationwatch UK set out a wide-ranging programme designed to "restore public confidence" in the asylum and immigration system. It claimed that confidence had been damaged by Home Secretary David Blunkett's comments last week that there was "no obvious upper limit" to the number of immigrants who could legally enter Britain.
Employers enjoy ｣1bn pensions holiday
Employers are enjoying a "pensions holiday" worth over ｣1 billion despite the current crisis facing occupational schemes, according to a new report. The TUC said that over the last five years employers had clawed back ｣1.1 billion either by not paying anything into schemes or by drastically reducing their contributions. Using Inland Revenue figures, the TUC said that even in the 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 financial years when pensions problems started to escalate employers saved ｣100 million by slashing or stopping contributions.
Warning on fake DVDs for Christmas
Film bosses are warning movie buffs they could feel like turkeys on Christmas morning - if they buy pirate DVDs as presents. The fake trade is booming with seizures up four-fold so far this year compared with 2002, and films such as Matrix: Revolutions are already on sale, just days after its cinema release. But the public is being urged to avoid bootlegs because poor quality means they could leave long faces over the festive period.
