Inflation surges as Tories attack Gordon Brown's economic record
By Ben Farmer and Rosa Prince Last Updated: 1:21pm BST 14/04/2008
Gordon Brown's economic woes have been compounded by figures showing that the costs of raw materials are climbing at a record pace.

By Anita Singh, Showbusiness Editor Last Updated: 7:08pm BST 09/04/2008
The BBC has been ordered to broadcast a statement admitting that it failed to protect viewers from a stream of foul language during last summer’s Live Earth concert, in one of the toughest sanctions ever imposed on the Corporation by media regulator Ofcom.

Osama bin Laden 'aide' wins deportation fight
By Andrew Porter, Political Editor Last Updated: 3:07am BST 10/04/2008
The Home Office's plans to deport terrorist suspects were dealt a blow when Abu Qatada, the preacher once described as "Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe", won his fight against being sent back to Jordan.
Qatada, 45, is in a British prison awaiting deportation but could now be released after the Court of Appeal ruled that the evidence that convicted him in his absence had been obtained by torture.

SFO illegally dropped Saudi arms inquiry, judge rules
By Christopher Hope, Home Affairs Correspondent Last Updated: 10:50am BST 10/04/2008
The Serious Fraud Office's decision to drop a probe into alleged bribery and corruption involving arms deals between BAE Systems and Saudi Arabia was overturned by the High Court today.
The news will bring fresh pressure on the Government to reopen the probe which was controversially dropped after pressure from then prime minister Tony Blair 16 months ago.
The ruling is an extraordinary victory for anti-bribery pressure group Corner House Research and the Campaign Against Arms Trade.
