Anger at dropped fag pack proposal

By EMILY ASHTON Whitehall Correspondent

PM snub . . . Lansley

ANGRY health campaigners last night begged the PM not to scrap plans for plain fag packets. In a slap in the face for ex-Health Secretary Andrew Lansley, David Cameron yanked the proposed law out of next weeks Queens Speech. The PM fears the move will hit the tobacco industry and slash 3billion from tax revenues. But Mr Lansley declared last April that the Government wanted tobacco firms to have no business in Britain. Public health minister Anna Soubry had also told a Lords committee seven weeks ago that cigarette packaging encourages youngsters to start. Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham accused the PM of caving in to big business. And the Smokefree Action Coalition an alliance of more than 100 health groups urged Mr Cameron not to abandon the plan. In a letter to him, they said: Abandoning standardised packaging would be to miss a golden opportunity to take a further big step to cut the awful toll of death and disease smoking causes. But smokers group Forest said the PM had listened to the hundreds of thousands of people opposed to plain packets.

Farage leads UKIP charge Theyre 2nd in by-election

South Shields . . . last night
ous best for a party outside Westminsters big three UKIPs 16.5 per cent in the 2009 Euro elections. The projected surge follows a week in which UKIP were dismissed as clowns, fruitcakes, and loonies by a raft of senior Tories. The onslaught looks only to have boosted the partys popularity among disenchanted voters. A potential 18 million went to the polls yesterday to elect 2,300 councillors across 35 local authorities in England and Wales. PM David Camerons Tories expect a heavy drubbing, losing as many as 600 of their 1,485 seats many in their traditional heartlands. A senior source admitted: Were fighting from an alltime high in 2009 so it was always going to be hard. The Lib Dems fear coming a humiliating fourth, losing 130 of their 493 seats.

tinue, with under-fire leader Ed Miliband unlikely to make any significant inroads. In South Shields, Labours Emma Lewell-Buck beat UKIPs Richard Elvin into second place in the fight for the MPs seat vacated by ex-Foreign Secretary David Miliband. Labour won with 12,493 votes, with UKIPs 5,988 giving them 24 per cent of the vote. The third-placed Tories polled 2,857 and the Lib Dems were a dismal seventh with just 352. Turnout was 39.3 per cent, South Tyneside council said. A UKIP spokesman said: Weve been getting the most phenomenally positive response on the streets. YouGov pollster Anthony Wells said of the council polls: We are looking at the biggest ever protest vote in a local election. Full results will be known this afternoon. t.newtondunn@the-sun.co.uk

FREE postal deliveries for the Armed Forces could be scrapped if the Royal Mail is privatised, campaigners have warned. The basic cost of sending parcels from home to troops is covered by the Ministry of Defence. But Save Our Royal Mail says the service, which has cost 15million over the last five years, could end if it falls into private hands. Campaign director Mario Dunn said: British Forces Freepost is a lifeline to Our Boys and Girls serving in conflicts around the world. However, if the Royal Mail is flogged off the new owner cant be forced to continue this service. Any private investor would look to ruthlessly cut non-profitmaking activity. The Royal Mail rejected the claim last night. It insisted Forces free post will continue irrespective of whether Royal Mail is in public ownership or not.

UKIP chief Nigel Farages clowns were today ready to enjoy the last laugh after the biggest protest vote in British history.
A wave of support in yesterdays council elections put the anti-EU party on course to take up to a THIRD of all votes in some battlegrounds.

An early indication of their strength came last night in the South Shields Parliamentary by-election. Labour held the seat but UKIP came second with 5,988 votes. Their slice of the vote in the local elections, meanwhile, looked set to top 20 per cent. That would smash the previ-

IS this just classic midterm protest stuff, or are the political plates really shifting? Thats the question that Westminsters nervous political elite were all asking last night. The truth is, despite all the guff you hear about it today, we wont really know for two years until the next General Election.

But what is without doubt from yesterdays local elections is the Brits have never been more disenchanted with their politicians. Could a quarter of them really elect clowns and loonies in 2015 too? Well they did in Italy in February, with the victory of a comedian called Beppe Grillo. His election slogan was f*** off.

Axe OAP TV perk

RICH OAPs should not get free TV licences, the Commons Culture Committee chief has declared. Tory MP John Whittingdale said his mum was just one over-75 who didnt need the perk, worth 145.50 a year. He called for meanstesting, adding: I can see no reason why it remains a universal benefit. Ministers also want well-off OAPs to stop claiming winter fuel payments and bus passes.

EU chiefs slashed Eurozone interest rates yesterday in a bid to fight fresh economic gloom. The European Central Bank cut its rate from 0.75 per cent to 0.5 per cent a record new low. Figures show spiralling unemployment hitting 19.1 million in the 17 single currency nations. ECB president Mario Draghi said it was ready to act if needed if the debt crisis explodes into another new emergency.

Knockout . . . with Prince Edward on royal game show

By ANDREW PARKER

He could be jailed for up to ten years when he is sentenced next month and would become one of the countrys oldest prison inmates. Many of the girls, aged up to 17, were known to Hall a trusted figure to some of their families. And the grandad of four committed all but four of his acts which ranged from kissing to digital penetration between 1972 and 1982 while at the height of his Its A Knockout television fame. Last night married Halls TV and radio career lay in tatters following the shocking revelations which emerged at Preston Crown Court.

The 83-year-old former Its A Knockout presenter now faces the prospect of dying behind bars after admitting 14 indecent assaults on 13 victims over nearly two decades.

TV legend Stuart Hall was branded an opportunist predator yesterday after he confessed to a string of vile sex attacks on girls as young as nine.

ONE of the sex attack victims who brought BBC star Stuart Hall to justice last night told The Sun: He should die behind bars.
The woman was a 17-year-old cheerleader on hit TV show Its A Knockout in 1973 when she was groped by Hall. Now a 56-year-old grandmother of two, the victim said Hall must be jailed even if he might die inside. The woman, who wants to be identified only as Amy, said: He should go to jail for what he has done even if it means him dying behind bars. He is in his 80s now but he needs to be punished for what he did to me and the other girls.

Shock . . . Sun in December

Pretence

Nazir Afzal, Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS North West, said: We prosecuted Stuart Hall because the evidence of the victims clearly established a pattern of behaviour that was unlawful and for which no innocent explanation could be offered. His victims did not know each other and almost two decades separated the first and last assaults. But almost all of the victims including one who was only nine at the time of the assault provided strikingly similar accounts. Whether in public or private, Hall would first approach under friendly pretences, then bide his time until the victim was isolated. He can only be described as an opportunistic predator. The stars own barrister declared his clients disgrace was complete as his career and reputation had been blown to smithereens. A BBC spokesman said yesterday: The BBC is appalled by the disgraceful actions of Stuart Hall and we would like to express our sympathy to his victims. In light of todays events, Stuart Hall will no longer be contracted by the BBC. Ex-Five Live radio presenter Hall, famed for his quirky football reports and awarded an OBE in last years New Year Honours, was arrested at his 1.2million home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, last December. In February he protested his innocence and vowed to clear his name of the pernicious, callous, cruel and above all spurious allegations. But he eventually pleaded guilty last month to the offences, which occurred from 1968 to 1986. Reporting restrictions were only lifted

Sex predator Hall, 83, pounced on Amy in a hotel corridor after filming an edition of Its A Knockout in Ely, Cambs. Amy was still in her costume a medieval maids outfit when Hall attacked her in May 1973. She said: I had only just turned 17, thats all. I was picked through my youth club to be a cheerleader on the show. After the show we all went to a function for afternoon tea. Amy was also working at a hotel where Hall and the rest of the BBC entourage were staying. She said: I went back to the hotel still wearing my costume. I could see the lobby was full and walked through. When I got to the top of the first-floor stairs on to the landing somebody started talking to me. I heard a voice and realised it was Stuart Hall straight away. I turned to go into the staff quarters and he suddenly pushed me against the wall. He had one hand over me and was trying to lift up my skirt with his other hand as he tried to kiss me. I tried to push him off. With my other hand I was reaching round the door to the staff quarters. He didnt say another word

Pervert . . . Hall films in Ely on the same day he groped Amy

while he was doing it. He was just staring at me, he was very aggressive. It all happened in a flash. He was a horrible looking man. I remember it like it was yesterday. Every time I saw him on TV or heard his sing-song voice it made me feel physically sick. Amy told police last year after the Jimmy Savile scandal broke. She said: Im glad I found the pluck to speak out. Another victim, who was just ten when she was groped by Hall, said: I am so relieved I didnt Ordeal . . . Amy told cops of attack have to give evidence in court. What happened was horrendous and Ive managed to put it behind me. Its finished with now. A woman aged 61 told how Hall fondled her in his car when she was 16. All of a sudden he moved his hand up my skirt and started touching me, she said. I was so terrified. I just curled away from him. Another victim said Hall felt her breasts as she handed out leaflets at an exhibition when she was 17. The woman, now 55, said: He kept his hand there, then walked off without saying a word.

yesterday after the Crown Prosecution Service said a charge of rape and three other counts of indecent assault would be left to lie on file. Judge Anthony Russell, the Recorder of Preston, said all sentencing options including custody were available. Hall whose Its A Knockout episodes included a version with members of the Royal Family is now on the sex offenders register. QC Crispin Aylett, defending, told the court: These are isolated offences, each one is a one-off. The behaviour ranged from kissing, touching outside the clothing, touching bare skin but not genitalia. There are two counts which

come into a different category. He is, of course, sorry for what he has done and he wishes to apologise to his victims. Match of the Day host Gary Lineker tweeted: Always admired Hall as a broadcaster. Worked with him on occasions. This is too ghastly! One of Halls victims still lives just 2.5 miles from his home. Another lives five miles away, with two more six miles away. Hall issued a statement via his solicitor following his court session. It read: Mr Hall deeply and sincerely regrets his actions. He wishes to issue an unreserved apology to the individuals concerned.

He now accepts his behaviour and actions were completely wrong and he is very remorseful. Last night a former colleague claimed Hall had a special room at the BBC to entertain lady friends in the late 1960s and 1970s.

Skeletons

Ex-producer Linda McDougall said Hall used an old medical room at the Manchester studio. She added: Stuart occupied this during the afternoons while we were rehearsing for Look North and he had lady friends who came and went and kept him occupied. I cant say he was having sex with

them because I wasnt ever in the medical room at the same time but I always thought that they werent coming for cups of tea. At an earlier court hearing it emerged that two of Halls other victims were aged 17 and 13. The presenter hinted at his predatory past in his autobiography. He admitted in Heaven and Hall: A Prodigal Life penned 13 years before his reputation was destroyed in the wake of the Jimmy Savile sex scandal: I have a cupboard of rattling skeletons. Hall joined the BBC in 1959 after deciding his job as a race track PA announcer was too dull. The Man City fan, who has a son

and daughter with wife Hazel, commentated on his first football match in 1958 and is credited with coining the phrase the beautiful game. He became a household name on wacky game show Its A Knockout, which he fronted from 1972 to 1982. THE BBC admitted yesterday it still has known bullies working for it and vowed to axe gagging clauses in contracts blamed by many for helping keep Jimmy Saviles offences hidden so long. An 80-page report commissioned after the scandal revealed 37 complaints of sexual harassment had been made by staff in six years. a.chamberlain@the-sun.co.uk

Publicity helped
NAMING Stuart Hall after his arrest led to more victims coming forward and helped secure his conviction, Press campaigners said yesterday. Lancashire Police confirmed other girls made allegations against the star following the publicity in December. But since the Leveson Report some forces are refusing to name people arrested. Last night Bob Satchwell, of the Society of Editors, said: Its worth noting that if Stuart Hall hadnt been named when he was arrested he might never have been brought to court.

SMACKED BY PERVERT
WHEN I first heard that Hall had been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault, I cant say I was surprised. In 2004 I was 24 and shortlisted for Young Journalist of the Year. Hall hosted the awards bash and when I was named as the winner he wouldnt let me off the stage. He manhandled me up to the mic, holding me tight so I couldnt escape while jiggling me about. It was excruciating. And when I walked

off he spanked me hard on the backside. I was mortified. My editor complained and I got a letter from Hall. He apologised, said he was a champion of young people, and enclosed an Its A Knockout video as something to enjoy. It gave an insight into a man at ease treating women as pieces of meat and into his monstrous ego.

The 81-year-old actor a household name as tellys Ken Barlow vigorously protested his innocence.

Charges . . The Sun yesterday

POLICE GET KICK OUT OF PROBES

THE actor who played one of Corries biggest hate figures last night claimed police are getting a kick out of investigating allegations of historic abuse involving celebrities. Furious Mark Eden, 85 who starred as Alan Bradley in the 1980s said: Almost by the week what theyre doing is getting more and more ridiculous, and this will all come out in the end. How can you possibly go back 40 or 50 years and properly investigate something from back then? Its snowballing out of control, and people are all of a sudden coming out of the woodwork. Marks wife Sue Nicholls, 69 Audrey Roberts in the soap said she was shell-shocked by abuse claims surrounding Bill Roache. Kate Ford, who plays Tracy Barlow, gestured she had been told to stay quiet outside Granada Studios yesterday by covering her mouth. But a Corrie veteran of ten years who didnt wish to be named, said:

He told how he had been stunned to find himself at the centre of a police investigation but buoyed by offers of support and messages of goodwill. Soap veteran Roache, who was arrested in a swoop at his 750,000 home on Wednesday morning, said in a statement: I am astounded and deeply horrified

by the extraordinary events of the last 24 hours. I strenuously deny the allegations and will now focus my full attention on fighting to preserve my innocence in the challenging times ahead. He added: I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all those people who have offered me their support and good wishes at this difficult time. Roache is the worlds longestserving member of any TV soap cast, having played the Streets Ken for 53 years. After his arrest he was quizzed

for 12 hours before being charged with rape just weeks after claiming in an interview with New Zealand television that sex abuse victims bring it on themselves. There was no sign of the star yesterday at his luxury house in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

Cobbles

A pair of wrought-iron gates fronting the entrance to the property remained closed all day. The charges have stunned his Corrie co-stars, with some being left close to tears. Actress Anne

Kirkbride, who plays Roaches on-screen wife Deirdre Barlow, was said to be distraught. But industry insiders predict the star may have made his last appearance on the famous cobbles of Weatherfield. ITV executives have already confirmed he will not be appearing in the show until legal proceedings are completed. Roache is alleged to have raped his teenage victim twice in Haslingden, Lancs. He was arrested by Lancashire Police. They will now liaise with their counterparts in Gtr Manchester

over the allegations. Nazir Afzal, Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS North West, said: We have carefully considered all the evidence gathered by Lancashire Police in relation to William Roache following allegations of rape. We have been reviewing evidence and providing early investigative advice to Lancashire Police since 1 March. Having completed our review, we have concluded there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest for Mr Roache to be charged with two offences of rape relating to a girl aged 15 in 1967. Roache will appear at Preston Magistrates Court on May 14. He is the third Corrie star to be charged in the past six months with child sex offences, following Michael Le Vell, who plays Kevin Webster, and Andrew Lancel (Frank Foster). g.patrick@the-sun.co.uk

SAYS

Stand up for free speech

HAD he not been named in the Press after his arrest, Stuart Hall might have lived out his life, like the monstrous predator Savile, as a much-loved legend of the BBC. Most of us would have had only fond memories of his infectious exuberance on Its A Knockout or his entertaining football ramblings on Radio 5 Live. By contrast Halls many victims would have lived out their lives silently tormented by the injustice that the celebrity paedophile who destroyed their innocence as children got clean away with it. If Hall had remained anonymous as the Association of Chief Police Officers and others would like he might well have walked free without a blemish on his character.
It would have been his word against that of a couple of victims. Confusing incidents from their past he could have passed off as childhood misunderstandings. As it was, the deluge of other victims who came forward as a result of naming him established a pattern of behaviour even his celebrated silver tongue could not lie his way out of try though he did. That is NOT what would have happened if the cabal of police, lawyers and celebrities lobbying to curb free speech had their way. Emboldened by the one-sided, shortsighted assault on the Press by Lord Justice Leveson, they are seizing the moment they have long dreamed of. Levesons report is not law. But you wouldnt know it from the way they wheel it out as they issue dark threats hoping to silence newspapers.

LESSONS FROM THE BUNDESLIGA..

THE Germans are on their way . . . to Wembley. On May 25, the home of the English game will host an all-German Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Here, Brentford boss Uwe Rosler, Spurs coach Steffen Freund and Sky pundit Alan McInally, who all played in the Bundesliga, tell MATT QUINTON why German football currently wears the footie crown.

UWE ROSLER
THE Bundesliga has never had the financial muscle of the Premier League and as a result theyve not been able to attract top stars. All clubs must stick to financial fair play rules and supply the German FA with all their financial information and are only permitted to do what they can afford to. Also, most clubs are at least 51 per cent owned by the fans, preventing owners buying a club and injecting a huge amount of cash. This might seem like a disadvantage but it has helped German football become so dominant. German players and clubs have a very dedicated approach to training and fitness especially when it comes to big matches. In both Champions League semifinals, the fitness of the German sides was above the level of Barcelona and Real Madrid, who lost 4-3 on aggregate to Dortmund. German clubs are not interested in having a lot of possession. Instead, the teams have speed and energy and are constantly looking to score goals. The players also benefit from a mid-season break. It lets them have a second preseason training period and helps them stay in tiptop condition.

STEFFEN FREUND
AS a German I am proud to be working at Spurs as assistant coach, but to see two German teams playing at Wembley on May 25 will be unbelievable. Its not easy to say why German clubs are dominating Europe. Wembley will be Bayerns third final in four years, but Dortmund have not succeeded at the highest level since the 1990s. For the Bundesliga to have two such strong clubs is unprecedented. But there was a big change in German football after the national team failed to reach the knockout stages of the 2004 Euros. Bundesliga teams were required to support youth teams and academies much more. I was involved with this at national level and I know how important it is to make sure your young players are strong with the ball, technically really good and are given a good football education. There is a rule in Germany that you must employ at least two full-time coaches with a Pro Licence for the academy across the top three divisions. Spurs have three coaches with a Pro Licence. They work with schoolboys through to young professionals in the academy.

ALAN McINALLY
HAVING already had a tasty little bet on both German teams reaching the final, my prediction is my old team Bayern will be victorious but it will not be easy. For the past three or four years German footballs not only put its house in order, it has become one of the strongest leagues in Europe. It may be a surprise for a lot of footie fans but not me, having watched the resurgence of the Bundesliga into one of the most envied leagues in Europe. Bayern and Dortmund are at the forefront of this new-found confidence but the rest of the teams have followed suit. Attendances have increased thanks to fair ticket prices, which has led to financial stability. And most of the money has been invested in youth development. There is no question the balance of power has swung the way of the best two teams in the Bundesliga. The challenge that faces them and the rest of the support act in Germany is to keep improving. Bayern and star midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger, left, are still smarting from losing last years final on home soil to Chelsea, but its not a foregone conclusion they will get their hands on the trophy. I have no doubts this years final will be an amazing German football spectacle and will live up to all expectations.

It was Leveson the lawyers cited while hoping to keep Rolf Harriss name secret after his arrest. The Sun, alone, published it. Meanwhile police, craving total control of information on crimes, investigations and suspects without having to worry about the pesky Press, hold up Levesons report too. One police chief has gone even further, idiotically misquoting from Leverson while withholding the name of an ex-cop after he was CHARGED over a 113,000 theft. But this is not just about naming suspects. After Leveson, even those whistle-blowing on a scandal in the public interest are arrested. Leveson is the battering ram in a co-ordinated assault on free speech. We have entered a dark new era of secret justice and suppression of information and it will not end until the Government has the courage to get a grip on it. Home Secretary Theresa May, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling and you, David Cameron . . . It is up to YOU to stop this happening.

Overdose . . . Jacko

MICHAEL Jacksons manager called his personal doctor five days before his death to request blood tests on the star. Frank DiLeo, who died in 2011 aged 63, left a voicemail on the mobile phone of Conrad Murray, 60, to tell him Jacko had suffered an episode. He said: Hes sick. I think you need to do blood tests on him. Weve got to see what hes doing. It was played in court yesterday during the Jackson familys $40billion wrongful death legal battle with AEG, the firm behind his 2009 London shows. Jacko, 50, was killed by an overdose of sedative Propofol administered by Murray. He was jailed for four years. The family claims AEG did not vet Murray. The company denies this. It also emerged Jackos mum Katherine asked his son about possible drug problems before he died.

Reese in rap panic

ACTRESS Reese Witherspoon yesterday apologised on TV over her drunken arrest with her hubby and said: We had one wine too many. The Walk The Line star, 37, admitted that she told police all kinds of crazy things and even claimed she was pregnant. As husband Jim Toth was arrested last month in Atlanta, Georgia, US, she told a cop: Do you know my name? Last night, hours after her TV appearance, an Atlanta court fined her 138 for disorderly conduct. Toth must do 40 hours community service after he admitted driving under the influence.

FACEBOOK has agreed to delete gruesome clips of people having their heads chopped off. The sick decapitation videos had spread on the social networking site but it at first refused to ban them. But the web giant came under fire from its own safety advisory board. Yesterday a spokesman said: We will remove instances of these videos that are reported to us while we evaluate our policy. The clips, apparently of drug gang executions in Mexico, were posted last week. Bosses had said the footage did not violate Facebooks standard on graphic violence.

MASTERCHEF winner Natalie Coleman last night spoke of her secret agony she went joyriding with a drunken biker who ended up KILLING a man.
The Londoner crowned the BBC1 shows champ last night told how she was wracked with guilt over the tragedy, which left the dead mans fiance fighting for life in intensive care.

Natalie, 29, revealed pal Allen Shord, 46, was showing off outside a pub when he agreed to give her a ride on a friends powerful 750cc bike. After drinking four pints, drunk Shord mounted the kerb at 27mph, slamming into Robin Bull, 32, and fiance Sarah Coles dragging them 16 metres. Robin died the next day from head injuries, while Sarah, now 46, was left battling for life in intensive care. Natalie told The Sun: It was the worst day of my life. I cant imagine the pain that the family went through and must still be going through. I feel terrible that this ever happened.

Last night Sarah said: Its hard for me to see the way she has got on with her life. We had everything to look forward to on the night we were hit. But when I came round and was told about Robin, it just destroyed me. Natalie spent five years trying to get on Masterchef. She now hopes to carve out a new career as a chef after beating Larkin Cen and Dale Williams in last nights final. A Masterchef spokesman said: Natalie has said the accident, victims and their families occupy her thoughts daily. The driver was convicted and went to jail. Natalie was never charged in connection with the accident nor was she required to appear in court. GOT a story? Call The Sun on 020 7782 4104. c.robertson@ the-sun.co.uk

Natalie, just 16 at the time of the tragedy in August 2000, insisted she had no idea that her pal of a year had sunk four pints. But the wannabe chef had been boozing herself, drinking two Smirnoff Ices, despite being underage. She was knocked unconscious after the motorcycle hit the couple, who were out for a late evening stroll in Chingford, North East London. But despite suffering bruised ribs and a gash in her leg, she was discharged from hospital that night. Sarah spent three days in hospital, including a spell in intensive care, with several broken bones and serious internal injuries. Shord spent two years in hospital and, now wheelchair-bound and braindamaged, was jailed for three-and-a-half years. Natalie, who no longer sees Shord, told how the tragic events of that

TOUR OF HER LAST ROUTE

JURORS retraced April Joness final moments yesterday as they visited the sites of her alleged abduction and murder. The group of 12 were taken by coach from Mold Crown Court, North Wales, to visit the five-yearolds home town of Machynlleth, where she disappeared last October. Their first brief stop was at the girls primary school where murder suspect Mark Bridger and Aprils parents Coral and Paul attended a parents evening on the night she is said to have been snatched. The jurors walked the short distance to the Bryn-y-Gog estate and were shown the area where April was last seen alive as she played on her bike with a friend. They were driven along a back road from the estate and past a garage where CCTV footage of Bridger speeding along on the night of October 1 has already been shown to court. Prosecutor Elwen Evans QC then By EMMA FOSTER showed the jury Aprils home, where pink ribbons of hope still hang from the fence. At around 1pm the group were taken to the isolated village of Ceinws and to Bridgers tiny cottage. The village was closed to traffic for the half-hour visit. They also saw a lay-by where witnesses claim to have seen Bridger dumping a black bin liner on the morning of October 2. Other stops on the trip included a guesthouse where Bridger worked before his arrest and the local hospital where Bridger claims he intended to take April as he drove her around in his car. Throughout the visit the area around the jury was deemed an extension of the court and a police presence was apparent. The jurors were driven back the 70 miles to Mold at around 2.30pm, where they will attend court today.

THIS is the scene inside the house where it is claimed blood from missing schoolgirl April Jones was found.
The jury in the trial of Mark Bridger were yesterday taken to the abattoir workers home and led through the rooms.

By EMMA FOSTER DNA. Bridger, 47, denies abducting and murdering the five-yearold, claiming he accidentally ran her over in his Land Rover then panicked and forgot what he did with her body. These pictures, shown to the jury, reveal ashes in the stone fireplace where prosecutors say pieces of Aprils skull along with a burnt boning knife were uncovered. A rifle is displayed on a beam above the fireplace. A pair of trousers lies on a leather chair near to where traces of blood matching Aprils DNA were also found, while two boxes of Strongbow cider lay on the floor. In another

Scene . . . what cops discovered and Bridger, right

image of the living room, old work clothes are left on a cream-coloured sofa beneath a tribal-style drape and family photos. Images of the bathroom show green forensic pointers indicating spots on the shower curtain, tiled walls and toilet where blood specks were found. Bridgers washing machine, inside which more traces of Aprils blood were said to have been discovered, can also be seen. Clothes are left on red carpeted stairs in the hallway of the bachelor pad. The pictures show the rooms as police say they found them after Bridgers arrest last October 2 the day after April

disappeared in Machynlleth, mid-Wales. The interior of the cottage in the village of Ceinws around five miles away was recreated for yesterdays visit by jurors. The nine women and three men were led to the house, called Mount Pleasant, from their coach and given fiveminute tours in groups of four. They were accompanied by trial judge Justice Griffith-Williams, court officials and the prosecution and defence teams. Bunches of fresh flowers in Aprils favourite pink had been left outside the cottage along with a white teddy bear. Aprils body has never been found and the seven-month search for her was called off

last week. She was last seen alive out playing on her bike with friends. The jury at Mold Crown Court have heard how Bridger claims he ran April down and then tried to revive her. But instead of taking her to hospital he put her in his car and drove around until he knew there was no life in her and she was gone. He claimed he could not remember later what he had done with her body as he binged on vodka. Prosecutors dismiss his story as a lie and claim Bridger, who was found to have child abuse images on his laptop, murdered April in a sexually motivated attack then took her to his

house to dispose of the body. They say there is a one-in-a-billion chance the DNA found at Bridgers home was not Aprils. The court has also been told Bridger invited another little girl for a sleepover on the day he allegedly kidnapped April. Bridger denies abducting and murdering April, and unlawfully disposing of and concealing her body with intent to pervert the course of justice. Trial continues. e.foster@thesun.co.uk

I DONT often use this column to whinge about my own problems but I wish certain magazines would just back off and let me enjoy my pregnancy. There are already stories circulating saying that Im apparently planning a tummy tuck after my baby is born to keep Kieran happy. For the record, Im happy with my body, Im happy with Kieran and Ive got no intention of ending up looking like a patchwork quilt.

BEYONCE is a bit crazy right now. She has imposed a picture ban at her concerts. Photographers are barred from her tour and tickets state no cameras or recorders. She looks amazing in any shot taken of her, and if fans have paid good money to see her, why shouldnt they have their own memento of the occasion? Telling fans to stop snapping will make them do it all the more. Employ someone with some common sense, Mrs Carter. Or youll soon start to be seen as too much of a Queen Bee. SOMEONE has invented a shirt for men that doesnt need to be washed or ironed for 100 days. Personally, I couldnt think of anything worse. Its rank! And anyway, they will still need to invent a robot to pick it up off the floor.

Zeta brave to admit fairytales dark side

ONLY last week Catherine Zeta-Jones turned up at an awards ceremony looking her usual, immaculately groomed and glossy self.
On the surface she looks like someone who has it all. A talented singer, dancer and actress, she has truly made it in showbusiness. Shes snared a superrich and famous hubby and given birth to two beautiful kids. She was even awarded a CBE in February. But life is never that simple. Every so-called fairytale has its twists and turns sent to test the hero and heroine.

DANNY CIPRIANI is an ex-boyfriend of mine so I was interested to read about his brush with a bus. Im glad hes recovering but how sad that hes spending so much time on the FRONT page of newspapers rather than on the BACK page. He had so much talent and was seen as the next Jonny Wilkinson. But no one was talking about Danny going on the Lions tour.

IM a big fan of seeking out bargains on the High Street. But who puts budget toiletries advertised as DETTOL on their PRIVATES? Raymond Cuss says the herbal-scented suds stripped off a layer of skin and left his privates glowing bright red. He has now received 1,000 in an out-of-court settlement. Rays bank balance is clearly not in the red, but Id hate to think about the state his other assets have been left in.

I WAS shocked to hear that Bill Roache has been charged over allegations that he raped a schoolgirl in 1967. But Im more shocked when people say things like, But it was SO long ago. Who cares WHEN a crime happens? If it happened, it happened and the person responsible should be brought to justice. Its no surprise that more women are coming forward after the Savile scandal. Its human nature to feel safety in numbers. It is a deeply personal decision for a victim to decide whether or not they go to the police, and we should all respect that. It still takes bravery to go to the police and talk about a sexual crime. We shouldnt be judging them if they only now have strength to do so.

Wealth

THE Apprentice will be back on television next Tuesday. And already the new female contestants are being criticised for wearing too much fake tan and bling. Whats wrong with having a bit of eye candy in the boardroom? It doesnt make any difference to how a womans brain operates. It might even give her an advantage over the men, who wont always have their eye on the spreadsheets. Ive been orange plenty of times while making crucial business deals but Ive always managed to turn things to gold.

And Catherine knows this only too well. Not long after turning up at the swanky New York event to honour Barbra Streisand, she began the latest, difficult chapter in her life. Catherine has returned to a Connecticut clinic to receive further treatment for manic depression. She suffers from bipolar II disorder, which can cause severe mood swings, but it is hard to diagnose as the symptoms can be mistaken for high achieving behaviour. Apparently, her illness was originally brought on by the strain of helping hubby Michael Douglas to battle throat cancer. He announced he had beaten the disease in 2011, but less than four months later Catherine was in a

psychiatric hospital. Catherine and Michaels story proves that even if you have billions in the bank, it can never buy you the real wealth in life health. I really admire the way Catherine has openly talked about her depression. It is a terrible illness that millions of people live with every day, but it still has a stigma that needs to be tackled and broken down. Catherine is doing just that by being brave enough to reveal she doesnt have it all. Ive talked before about suffering from post-natal depression after Junior was born. Some people have told me that being depressed makes them feel tearful and hopeless. For me it meant having a terrible angry feeling thats hard to explain. It was like an awful knot in my stomach and I felt overwhelmed and even that people wanted to take my baby away from me. I got help and managed to get through it. I dont feel ashamed about talking about it and neither should anyone else. Get well soon Catherine I admire your bravery. MUMS and dads are typically letting their kids start using the internet aged three, a new survey reveals. Meanwhile, another survey says the typical British Sunday roast dinner is in decline. Is it any wonder if were letting kids bury their heads in computers rather than sitting round the dinner table and having a good old chat? Sunday roasts are like a religion in my house. Everything stops for them every week. Swap your kids computer time for a good old fashioned beef and Yorkshire pudding meal this weekend and let me know what you think.

NEW research suggests women with breast implants might be at greater risk of dying from cancer because our tumours are harder to detect. The researchers, from hospitals in Canada, reckon the risk of being diagnosed at a later stage of breast cancer

was increased by a quarter in women with implants. I felt scared reading this. It made me think I should go for more regular health checkups. Please can the British Government give women who have implants more information.

Chimney body find

A PROBE has been launched after a mans body was found in the CHIMNEY at a solicitors. The find was made on Wednesday after staff noticed flies and a smell. It is thought the body had been at Moody and Woolley Solicitors in Derby for several weeks. The death is being treated as unexplained as police work to identify the man. Less than 40 per cent of Brits aged 18-24 know basic DIY skills, a poll by insurer Aviva found.

THRASH metal legend Jeff Hanneman died yesterday aged 49. The Slayer guitarist, who co-founded the band with pal Kerry King in 1981, died of liver failure at a hospital near his California home. He co-wrote 1986s Reign In Blood, regarded by heavy metal fans as one of the best ever in the genre. Big-drinking Hanneman had been forced to pull out of the bands world tour in 2011 after a spider bite led to him developing flesh-eating virus necrotising fasciitis. He came close to having his arm amputated. Last night the band said in a statement: Slayer is devastated that bandmate and brother, Jeff Hanneman, passed away at about 11am. He is survived by his wife Kathy, his sister and brothers and will be sorely missed.

POLICE U-TURN ON NOT NAMING CHARGED COP Secret justice climbdown

COPS last night apologised after trying to keep secret the name of a former colleague on a theft charge.
Paul Greaves, 54, is accused of stealing 113,000 from Warwickshire Police HQ.

ROGUE state North Korea has sentenced an American citizen to 15 years in a labour camp for reportedly taking pictures of starving children. Devout Christian Kenneth Bae, 44, has been held since his arrest in November while part of a group of five tourists who visited the city of Rajin. North Koreas state news agency said Mr Bae had been tried and sentenced for hostile acts against the country. He could be used as a bargaining chip by dictator Kim Jong-un who has threatened the US with nuclear attacks. President Barack Obama may have to send a prominent US statesman to Pyongyang to secure his release. Mr Bae born in South Korea but a naturalised American citizen is likely to serve his sentence in a special facility for foreigners.

The force had banned publication of his name as part of its

secret justice policy. But the CPS yesterday named Mr Greaves in a decision backed by the Association of Chief Police Officers. Warwickshires Deputy Crime Commissioner Eric Wood also said it was firmly in the public interest for the retired cop to be

named. A Warwickshire Police spokeswoman said last night: Our decision not to name him was wrong. We will now be adopting ACPO guidance on naming individuals on charge. We apologise that our previous approach has not been consistent

with this. Deputy Chief Constable Neil Brunton had tried to justify the ban by linking it to Lord Justice Levesons press standards inquiry, mis-spelling it Leverson on Twitter. Greaves, from Leamington Spa, Warks, is charged with stealing 113,000 in crime proceeds. He is due in court on May 22.

A FORMER Labour welfare minister has branded his partys tax credits policy as lunacy. Frank Field, 70, said Gordon Browns government had removed peoples incentive to work. He called the ex-PM a fool for not deducting tax credits and child benefit from social security payments. The backbench MP, who has advised David Cameron on poverty, said it allowed killer dad-of17 Mick Philpott to claim huge benefits whether he worked or not. Mr Field said Mr Brown never really understood anything, let alone the economy.

Becks will argue that the teen favourites feature purely for the sake of his young kids. But given his sons BROOKLYN and ROMEO are 14 and ten, and CRUZ is eight, theyre all old enough to have their own iPod. And his daughter HARPER isnt yet two, so I doubt she

After spending a season in France, with a second being talked about, you cant rule out French Euro pop joining his playlist. Meanwhile, his wife VICTORIA has got her own back on Becks for wearing her sarong all those years ago. Shes been pictured wearing what looks like a pair of his trousers, far left.

The smart black threads are noticeably baggy on the rear. Victoria was in London with Romeo and Cruz, who were being sized up for RALPH LAUREN suits.

I dont have time to go to Starbucks with my boyfriend every morning. I wish I did, but I dont.

LIAM GALLAGHER has admitted fans would have to be on psychedelic drugs to wear his favourite leopard-print loafers. The BEADY EYE frontman got lots of local attention when he slipped them on to shoot the video for new single Flick Of The Finger in Accrington, Lancs. He said: We had a few drinks with the locals, they were buzzing off it. People were tripping out about my shoes. I was going, See that f***ing field over there, kids?

BRAIN scans could be used to identify children who are potential PSYCHOPATHS, according to new research. Scientists at University College London scanned the brains of 55 boys aged 10 to 16 while showing them images of people in pain. They found 37 showed signs of conduct problems and said it could help to identify possible psychopaths. But UCLs Prof Essi Viding warned they were an indicator of vulnerability, rather than biological destiny.

DOCTORS have been alerted after three hospital patients died when they caught a new strain of the superbug C.diff. It is the first time the strain, named ribotype 332, has been reported in Scotland. The latest victim died at a Scottish hospital last month. The others died at a nearby unit in December and January. All three whose names and hospitals have not been disclosed were seriously ill with underlying conditions.

WASH AND NO

What started as a single embryo divided into four babies, confounding the odds of more than two million to one against such an event. Proud parents Justin and Christine Clark are still reeling from the shock of having an instant family. Christine, a nurse, said: When we found out we were having four babies, I was like, Oh my God, I couldnt believe it. I was speechless and, to be honest, I didnt believe it until I saw them for myself. The couple had been trying to conceive for nine years, then Christine became pregnant after her first cycle of IVF, funded by the NHS. Lorry driver Justin, 43, said: Last August Christine started four weeks of self-injections, then two eggs were collected from her right ovary. Two days later we were called back to the clinic and told only one egg had fertilised the other was premature and couldnt be used. We went back to the clinic to have the egg put back in. The midwife, Caroline Williams, was really pleased with how it went. She said, Its a hole in one. But we were very apprehensive, especially as we only had one egg to go back in. We knew the chances of success were limited. However, three weeks later a pregnancy test confirmed 36-year-old Christine was expecting. Justin said: Ill never forget her coming downstairs with the stick. The line was very prominent. The couple contacted the clinic, Care Fertility, in Sheffield, and made an appointment. Justin continued: When the nurse was doing the scan she wasnt saying very much so we were getting quite worried. Then she said, You are definitely pregnant but I think I can see three pregnancy sacs, so it might be triplets. Christine and I were just looking at each other, thinking Wow. Fortunately my chair was against the wall or I think I might have fallen off. We were stunned. We had to go and wait in reception. Then we had a second ultrasound with the senior consultant. We were called back into the scan room and he said, Its not triplets. Youre having quads. He looked at us and said, Yes, four. He was holding up four fingers to show us, because it definitely wasnt sinking in. Four babies. It was a very emotional time for us as wed been trying for nine years to have one child and had no luck. Now we were going to have four. We were happy, but also worried about the logistics of how we were going to bring them up.

line and Darcy weighed just over 10lb between them when they were born on March 25 as a result of IVF treatment.

and the last was Alexis, who weighed 3lb. Justin said: All the way through the pregnancy Id been convinced we were having boys. On one of the scan pictures Alexis was lying with her hand behind her head. This is how I like to sleep in bed, so I thought they were boys. As the surgeons were performing the Caesarean I was going, Come on, boys, come on, boys. But then one girl came out, and another. When the third came out I knew they would all be little girls and I was thrilled.

{Home will be happy but noisy|

Nature

The couple were referred to the Jessop Hospital in Sheffield and given the option of terminating some of the babies. But Justin said: By the time we went to Jessops for the next appointment we had made up our minds that we would not reduce the number of babies unless there was an overwhelming medical reason. We also decided we wouldnt have the Downs test. We would love a child, regardless of whether or not it was disabled in any way. We were adamant that from this point onwards, nature should be allowed to take its course. We didnt want to play God. At 24 weeks Christine was admitted to hospital as she was getting breathless but doctors managed to keep her condition under control until week 30, when she had an elective Caesarean. Darcy was the first born, weighing 2lb, followed by Caroline at 2lb 3oz. Elisha was next, weighing 2lb 14oz

One of the babies was named after Caroline the midwife, who said: I became quite close to Chris during the treatment and she was disappointed when we only collected two eggs. I said to her, You only need one, and thats exactly what happened one fertilised perfectly. When Chris was having her pregnancy scan the nurse said, Ive seen three heartbeats. We called the consultant to check again and I went into the room with Chris. Then we saw not three but four little hearts beating on the screen. Ive seen many scans but Ive never seen quads it was very emotional. For a single embryo to lead to quads is a unique event, once in a lifetime. We are delighted that mum and babies appear to be doing well though I wont be volunteering for babysitting! Alexis and Elisha were transferred to Rotherham Hospital on March 31 so they could be closer to the couples home in the town. Darcy and Caroline followed when they were well enough, on April 3. Christine said: Its been very hard not having the girls at home with us, and having to go backwards and forwards to the hospital. It gets harder to leave them every time. We cant wait to get them home. I think it will feel more real, at the moment its all a little surreal. At the moment Im always thinking of them and feeling slightly anxious. And I have to be up every few hours to express milk, although Im aware we wont be getting a lot of sleep from now on. Justin is going to be a stay-athome dad when I go back to work part-time, and Ive decided he will be chief nappy-changer! Justin added: I have just managed to bottle-feed all four for the first time, which is amazing. Normally they dont develop a gagging reflex this early but they are doing so well. Theyve astounded the medical profession. Theyre no longer hooked up to machines, just a heart rate monitor. We are looking forward to having them all home soon. Alexis and Elisha will hopefully come home in early June and Caroline and Darcy mid to late June. That will be a very special day in our lives. Its a heartache leaving them at the hospital. Its very stressful, but fortunately we know they are in wonderful hands. The team at Rotherham Hospital have been absolutely tremendous. When they arrive our lives will finally be complete. Our home will be a happy one and no doubt a very noisy one. The couple are now trying to make room for their new arrivals. Christine said: We only live in a three-bedroom house and the box room is tiny. Weve been joking that well have to put the babies in drawers to sleep. [GENV]l.hope@the-sun.co.uk

HOW IT WORKED

GIRLS AND JOYS . . . new mum and dad Christine and Justin Clark

IVF isnt a surefire route to parenthood, so I can imagine the shock for Justin and Christine. They scooped the jackpot in the baby lottery at odds of more than two million to one. Quads are very rare. Even when a woman conceives four babies, its a high-risk pregnancy and not all always survive. But the most amazing thing here is that just ONE embryo produced FOUR babies. Sometimes an early embryo splits in two at an early stage, between three to 12 days after fertilisation. This leads to identical twins. Nobody knows for sure why some embryos split

and others dont. It is more likely to happen after IVF than in a natural pregnancy, because the outer zone of a fertilised egg changes during IVF and becomes more brittle. This makes it more likely to divide. But this is still very unusual. Fertility experts say embryo splitting probably occurs around once in every 100 IVF cycles. In this case, each of these embryos must have quickly split again, producing quads.

IS IT A GIRL CRUSH OR STYLE CRUSH?

A SCHOOLBOY found an iron cannonball from the English Civil War in his back garden. Jack Sinclair, ten, discovered the 368-year-old relic while helping his dad Andy dig a hole to remove a tree root. It weighed 8lbs and would have been fired from a four-bore cannon. Scottish mercenaries on the side of Parliament are known to have been based in Jacks hometown of Southwell, Notts.

Sandra married a tattooed biker Jesse James and even when he cheated on her she behaved with such dignity. Thats the kind of woman I aspire to be. Ive lost count of the times Ive watched Miss Congeniality, a movie I think emits facets of her own personality. This woman can do kick-ass and tender in one fell swoop. I havent seen her in a bad movie. In Crash she played a stroppy, highly-strung, snob and even then I fancied her because she was just in need of a hug. In interviews Ive read, she just seems confident, self-assured and spiritual,

is TVs Queen Of Shops Mary Portas. Again, shes not a conventionally pretty woman but sharp as hell. Heres someone you dont want to mess with but who has immense honesty and credibility, too. There is nothing more attractive than a woman in her 50s who can carry off with aplomb whatever the hell she puts on. And yet you know every piece she dons is carefully planned and thought out. Her style is sharp, linear, brave yet she never makes an exhibition of herself. Its not that she dresses her age, more that she refuses to not wear things just because shes vaguely over 50. Id kill to look as cool as she does when Im her age. She carries herself confidently and stridently. She wears stuff which shows off her great figure (but you know that even if she was 14st, shed look fab). Winklepickers, black leather, strong black eyeliner and bright lipstick all Portas trademarks. She knows what makes her look good and shes not afraid to show it.

[GENV] GIRL-TO-GIRL style crushes are about lusting after someones incredible styling rather than physical beauty. Its about loving how she expresses her personality through her whole vibe you want to be her but you dont want to be with her. Classic girl crushes are much more about being sexually honest and revealing your adventurous side.

THE callous conman who made millions selling fake bomb detectors based on a novelty 13 golf-ball finder was jailed for the maximum ten years yesterday. Fraudster James McCormick, 58, sold the useless devices to regimes in Iraq, Belgium, Hong Kong and even the United Nations for 40,000 each. They led directly to the deaths of innocent Iraqis in truck bomb attacks on government buildings. He made an incredible 60million and used the money to fund a playboy lifestyle of yachts, luxury holiday homes and riding stables for his daughters. Sentencing him at the Old Bailey yesterday, Judge Richard Hone QC said married dad-of-two McCormick, of Hambridge, Somerset, had blood on his hands. McCormick also faces having to pay back 15million of the cash he duped from customers.

Mum Donna Kelly Pratt told cops he had taken the speedball combinations the night before she found him slumped

on the sofa. Paramedics found no signs of life when they got to his home in Atlanta, Georgia, on Wednesday. He was pronounced dead at hospital. Police confirmed a possible drugs overdose killed Chris. A post mortem was due yesterday. Kelly, known as Mac Daddy, and rap partner Chris Smith, known as Daddy Mac, were famous for wearing their trousers

backwards. Their first and most successful song, Jump, was recorded when they were 13 and became a hit in 1992. They supported Michael Jackson on tour and made three albums before they split. The pair were discovered by rapper Jermaine Dupri, who first saw them in a shopping mall, and performed in February to mark the 20th anniversary of his

some departments to lay-off staff because they cannot pay the monthly wage bill. The showdown is the latest stage of the Treasurys crusade to cut 11.5billion from spending in 2015-16. It has told ministers it wants at least 5billion to come from efficiency savings. Some departments like Transport have already come up with bold plans to save cash. But George Osborne and Mr Alexander are frustrated that other departments have not risen to the challenge. A Whitehall source said: More can be done to move services online and share office functions. Every department needs to apply radical thinking. Its no good digging their heels in.

And off screen the Hollywood A-lister seemed intent on playing the field while starring in Baz Luhrmanns adaptation of The Great Gatsby.

I want to be you. Leo replied, Everyone does. Just before shooting started in Sydney in September 2011, the actor ended a five-month romance with Gossip Girl actress Blake Lively, 25.

Since filming began, 38-year-old DiCaprio has been linked to SEVEN stunning women. He was overheard in a restaurant chatting to Entourage star Kevin Connolly about his many conquests earlier this year. A fellow diner revealed: Leo talked about the fact that he is romancing multiple women. He was totally open about it. Kevin looked at Leo and told him,

Hots
He then got over any broken heart by seeing a string of beauties, and in the process cemented his reputation as a modeliser someone who only dates models. The phrase was coined by Carrie Bradshaw in hit TV series Sex And The City. First he was said to be going out with Aussie catwalk queen Alyce Crawford, 22, a former contestant on

Australias Next Top Model. Alyce had met Leo at a Sydney hotspot, Beach Haus, which became one of his favoured hangouts. It was then claimed he also had the hots for another model, this time 21-yearold Kendal Schuler. A dead ringer for his ex, Israeli model and actress Bar Refaeli, Schuler was a catwalk queen who had apparently first met the actor in Los Angeles, then got reacquainted with him in Beach Haus. When actress Blake showed she was over Leo by hooking up with her Green Lantern co-star Ryan Reynolds, Leo seemed to respond by then inviting one of Italys hottest underwear models to hang out at his Australian mansion. Romanian-born Madalina Ghenea, 24 considered to be one of the most beautiful women in

the WORLD even sampled some paddle boarding at the actors digs. But like his other recent companions, Madalina did not become a permanent fixture. In November 2011 Leo threw a birthday party at Beach Haus with a guest list featuring 80 women, including Crawford. Also invited was his old drinking buddy, actor Lukas Haas. DiCaprios antics were reminiscent of the times in the late Nineties, after he shot to fame in Titanic, when he rampaged round New York with a group of young actors New York magazine dubbed The Pussy Posse. Also in that group was Tobey Maguire, his co-star in The Great Gatsby. The mag claimed the STAR . . . models and Leonardo actresses that

DiCaprio

flocked round the group which had DiCaprio as its leader as Leomaniacs. During a break in filming The Great Gatsby in New York, Leo went to a Victorias Secret party with pal Lukas. He must have struck lucky because a few days later Victorias Secret Angel Erin Heatherton jetted in to Sydney to join him as he returned to continue filming Down Under. While there she was pictured splashing out 1,100 on lingerie. Erin, 24, enjoyed a ten-month relationship with Leo but they split in October last year. Since the break-up hes been back to his old ways, partying on lavish yachts with a host of beauties. He has been said to have dated both model Barbara Palvin, 19, and Margot Robbie, 22, his co-star on the upcoming Martin Scorsese movie The Wolf Of Wall Street. His latest squeeze is said to be

another model, 25-year-old Heather Hahn, who he was seen having dinner with in Miami. Leos previous girlfriends have included models Kristen Zang, 38, and Gisele Bundchen, 32, as well as Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl Bar, 27.

Tremble
Only Zang has spoken about her time with DiCaprio, describing sex with him as the most wonderful experience in the world. She added: Being Leos lover is like living out a glorious fantasy, even better than his millions of female fans have imagined it. I still tremble with excitement when I recall his lean body pressed against mine. Leo refuses to talk about his personal life, saying he needs to keep something back for myself. But he thinks his fame has made it HARD for him to find the right girl. He said: To be honest, it

used to be a lot easier when I wasnt famous. Now I cant just go into a bar and meet a woman whos really interested in me. Leo also said that working on movies takes its toll on any relationship. He added: Six months of being on location or being off in Morocco or some place like that is not the best thing for a relationship. The movie opens here on May 16 and Leo said of his similarities to Gatsby: I think, much like Gatsby, you envision your life in a certain way and you hope one day you can make it happen. Like Gatsby, Im a dreamer. To be in the movie industry you have to be. The idea of being able to reinvent yourself, like Gatsby did, is something anyone can identify with. l Leonardo DiCaprio: The Biography by Douglas Wight is published by John Blake and costs 15.99.

A FRENCHMAN spent five years hitching more than 100,000 miles around the world for free. Jeremy Marie, 29, left Caen, Normandy, in October 2007 and visited 71 countries. His epic hitch included crossing the 50C deserts of Sudan and braving -20C in Kazakhstan. He said the best part was getting a lift across the Pacific from a Brit captain. The four-month trip as a crewmate saw him visit New Zealand, Tonga and Panama. Jeremy, now in Bali, Indonesia, said: I like to hitchhike its a good way to meet people.

A WINGED robot the size of a fly has been launched by boffins. The RoboBee which took ten years to develop is the first working model of a flying insect. The tiny device with buzzing wings which flap 120 times a second could be used for search and rescue or surveillance. Scientists hope it could also one day pollinate crops like real bees. But they have to find a motor tiny enough to keep it flying. Kevin Ma, one of the developers at Harvard University, US, said: Large robots can run on electromagnetic motors, but at this scale you need an alternative.

DRIVE KILL RAP

A DRIVER who mowed down and killed another man after a row over a shirt has been jailed for life. Ricky Clarke-Dilly, 22, ploughed into Simon Large, 24, outside a nightclub at 52mph, before driving off. Jurors at Reading Crown Court heard a group including Clarke-Dilly had torn the shirt of one of Londoner Mr Larges friends in a scuffle in the club. Clarke-Dilly, of Slough, Berks, sped at the rival group as they left the Ascot club in October. Mr Large died seven days later. Clarke-Dilly was convicted of murder and will serve at least 15 years.

A 2,500-year-old glass bowl has sold for almost 500,000 more than ten times its estimate. Experts had tipped the eight inch relic made in the ancient Persian Empire to sell for just 50,000, but a bidding war pushed the price to 481,250. The green bowl was sold in London by an English family who acquired it in the 1950s. It was snapped up by an unnamed buyer. Madeleine Perridge, of auctioneers Bonhams, said: The fact that this bowl is still intact after 2,500 years is amazing. We knew it was a special item.

A MEMO sent by Admiral Nelson on the eve of the Battle of Trafalgar has emerged and reveals that he was worried about ONIONS. The naval heros message dated October 10, 1805 warns his fleets pursers to stop a food supply scam. They had been using free government supplies of the anti-scurvy veg and keeping food budget cash for themselves. Nelson died in the battle on October 21. The memo is expected to fetch up to 2,000 at an auction in Knowle, West Mids.

AT LAST...FUN WITH MATHS

HOW can we predict the future? Statistics expert Nate Silver stunned political analysts during the 2012 US election by correctly predicting the wins for either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney across ALL 50 States. Here he explains how he uses data to see whats around the corner, and even how his unique methods can help when it comes to success with the opposite sex.

Hen crash driver

By DAN HOWLETT

From political polls to economic statistics, there is a wealth of information available to anyone who wants it. But despite all this, were still bad at predicting the future and regularly fail to foresee huge events such as the 2008 financial crash. Thats why Im working on better statistical models to help us understand the world we live in, which we can use to make predictions. We predicted the US Presidential election results by devising mathematical models that account for all polls released during the campaign. But we have to account for how accurate individual polls have been in the past. If a poll has been more accurate, we give it more weight when predicting. There are also techniques to remove any bias we can detect. If we know a certain polling company leans towards a

HUMANS now have access to more data than ever before.

certain party, we can correct that. Part of being successful in making these predictions is accepting there are limits to how accurate you can be. People like to be given absolutes but our predictions instead look at the world in terms of probabilities, laying odds just as a bookmaker does. For example, we might work out that in the past, the football team at the top of the table halfway through the season went on to win the league 70 per cent of the time. We could conclude that the team at the top of the table halfway through the next season has a 70 per cent chance of going on to win the league. This sort of data-based approach can be useful in everyday life. I did some work

Dating

with a dating website a few years ago, trying to work out the best night of the week to go out looking for a one-night stand. We used data from this site, looking at what percentage of users said they wanted a quick fling, and which nights they went out. We found that they tended to hit the town on Wednesdays and Thursdays so thats the best night to get lucky. It seems people go out on Fridays and Saturdays to be with their mates, and people who go out earlier in the week are normally more interested in drinking than hooking up. That doesnt mean everyone at a bar on a Wednesday wants a one-night stand. But the odds are a little more in their favour. l Nate Silvers The Signal And The Noise: The Art And Science Of Prediction is out now, 8.99

FRESH inquests into the deaths of 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster will be heard in the North West, a coroner ruled yesterday. Lord Justice Goldring made the decision after hearing arguments over holding the inquests there or in London. Some families had said rivalries between football clubs in the North could prejudice proceedings, while others wanted them kept in the region. Lord Justice Goldring said: If it is held in London, those who wish to follow it in person will be living in hotels for a very long time. It is not a practicable solution for someone to commute from Liverpool on a daily basis. Verdicts of accidental death from the original inquest in 1991 were quashed last December after an independent panel reported there had been a huge cover-up in the wake of the tragedy.

Kerry says: What possible words of comfort could I ever offer her? Could I say it gets any better? No. What advice could I give her? What could I tell her to do that she hasnt done already? Meeting me must have been very difficult for Kate she has had six years of hell, Ive had 22. I must be her worst nightmare because I prove her situation could go on for years. The only thing I could say is to never stop searching and never give up. I havent, and I wont. Kerrys 21-month-old son Ben was snatched on July 24, 1991, as he played in fields outside a farmhouse his grandfather was renovating on the island of Kos, Greece. Kerry, then a young mum aged 19, was at work in a local bar. Despite a huge global manhunt, Ben has never been found. He would now be 23. Kerry met Kate whose three-yearold daughter Madeleine was abducted from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal on May 3, 2007 at a

Downing Street reception to mark International Missing Childrens Day. Next week a book, called simply Ben, detailing Kerrys heartbreaking search for her son and the effect it has had on her family will be published. Kerry says she has wanted to write a book for years, but adds bitterly: When we approached publishers, they didnt want to know because they said there was no ending.

Hope

In the flesh, Kerry is much prettier and younger-looking than pictures portray her. Gone is the short-haired teenager who was photographed looked bewildered after Ben went missing. Now she is a middle-aged mum desperate for a happy ending that never comes. Speaking at her home in Sheffield, Kerry says: Not knowing destroys you, its a never-ending nightmare. But if I knew, I could cope. If Ben was alive but didnt want to know me, I would have to deal

with that just as long as I knew. He could be married with kids and may not remember me at all. Ive rehearsed what I would say if I saw someone I thought could be him. I wouldnt say, Hi, I think Im your mum, because I fear that could frighten him off. Instead I would say, I think I know someone who knows you, then try to get as much info as possible. My theory is that Ben was taken to be sold for adoption. Child trafficking is a huge issue it happens an awful lot more than people realise. Kerry is also realistic enough to know that Ben may not be alive. She says: All Ive ever wished for is an ending and if that was the case, at least that is an ending. But Im still full of hope. Kerry believes she will find Ben one day because she has an overwhelming feeling he is still alive. She says: I just feel it . . . call it a mothers instinct, whatever. I believe that if Ben was dead, a part of me would know and this driving feeling to search would stop. But it never goes. Every day I wake up and think, Right, what next? What can we do now? Kerry and her family particularly her daughter Leighanna have paid a high price for that search. In her book, Kerry reveals that five years

after Ben went missing she embarked on a drink and drugs binge that lasted four months. During that time she left Leighanna only a toddler then with her parents. Kerry cringes at the memory, admitting: I know, how could I? How could someone who had lost their first child then leave their second? But I truly believe if I hadnt done that, I wouldnt be here now I was ripping myself apart. I had tried suicide several times and had a recurring dream where I would find Ben with strangers, grab him and run, run, run through the streets of Kos. Then I got to a police station and I was begging them to believe the baby was Ben but they wouldnt. They demanded I give the baby back then I would wake up. When we moved back from Kos, I did Bens room up with Winnie the Pooh wallpaper and began to hear a baby cry. Over and over again I would hear Ben

crying. I would often wake up lying on his bed and not remember how I got there. No one deserves to live like that I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. Kerry also had to deal with the attention Bens abduction brought. She says: Everywhere I went, people would point and stare. People came up to me in the street and one woman even said, Youre Ben Needhams mum. I dont know how youre still here. That made me feel terrible as if I should have killed myself. I was riddled with guilt for leaving Ben, for not being able to find him . . . I lost myself. Then, when I was 24, I started working at a nightclub. For the first time in years, I was just Kerry not Ben Needhams mum. People didnt treat me differently, they didnt look at me with pity, they werent BOND . . j u d g i n g Kerry and me . . . I started daughter partying after Leighanna work and taking amphetamines. Drink

and drugs helped with the horrible, crushing pain that never went away. Im not proud of it, but I believe that, in a way, it saved me. Kerry finally came to her senses when Ben and Leighannas father, Simon Ward, rang to tell her his dad had just died. She says: I thought, What am I doing? I have a daughter. I went to my parents house and Leighanna ran up to me, saying, Mummy, Mummy. She literally saved me. I had something to live for, something to get up for, someone to make me feel like I WAS a good mother.

Pain

Sitting listening to her mum talk is Leighanna, a pretty, blonde girl who looks remarkably like Ben. Now 20, she reveals that, at times, growing up in Bens shadow has been difficult. Leighanna says: I didnt have any freedom, as you can imagine. Mum wouldnt let me out of her sight. I just wanted to be a normal teenager but I couldnt, I always had to come straight home at 6pm. I understood, of course I did, but at times it felt oppressive. Even now, if I go out I have to text Mum several times saying who I am with and where I am. But I dont mind because I know

that if I dont, she will be going out of her mind at home. There are lots of photos of Ben dotted around Kerrys home. Leighanna looks at one and smiles, saying: Its strange, but I have always felt like his older sister because the only images of him I know are of him as a baby. Leighanna, a trainee accountant, now helps her mum with the ongoing search for Ben, using social media to spread the word about her brother. She says: Ive known about Ben since I was tiny. When I started going for job interviews, they sometimes asked, Do you have any brothers and sisters? And of course I had to say, Well . . . Its little things like that that make you realise what a strange situation we are in. Kerry looks at her daughter with a mixture of pride and sadness. She says: I dont want to grow old like this, never knowing. It kills you. I hope there is an ending soon as I dont want Leighanna to have to live with this for another 20 years. I want her and me to have some sort of normal family life the life weve never had. l Ben, by Kerry Needham, will be published by Ebury Press on May 9, 16.99. Also available as an ebook. See tomorrows Sun for exclusive extracts from the heart-wrenching book.

. . . IM CONVINCED NATS HAVING AN AFFAIR -- AND IF IT MEANS DRIVING FROM LEEDS TO FIND OUT, SO BE IT . . .

TREVOR'S DILEMMA: DAY 5

THE GIRLS ARE ASLEEP . . .

We met over coffee, then had a drink, then dinner and then had mind-blowing sex. I thought my luck had turned. Im 37 and my marriage ended four years ago. I can see now it was largely my fault. I was obsessed with my job and my wife got fed up with

I MET a fabulously sexy woman at a work conference last year.

Dear Deidre

Work obsession left me not up to the job in bed

me working seven days a week. After we split I tried to get on with my life and then met this woman. Shes a workaholic too so she was much more understanding about my job. But the trouble was two demanding careers took their toll. One of us was always tired too tired to keep having the fantastic sex wed had at the start of the relationship. She went away for work earlier this year and when she returned we had a massive row. Id been too busy to organise a welcome-home dinner and was too tired to make love to her. She walked out on me too. Im now dating two other girls. One wants commitment that I wont give and the other is using me to get to her ex. My life is a mess. Id give anything to get my wife back. n DEIDRE SAYS: Meeting someone new wont solve the pain of your marriage split. Unless you learn from the break-up, all that happens is you take your unresolved issues into a new relationship. Dont

HAUNTED BY PAST SECRETS

IS it still considered sexual abuse when things happen between two children, no adults involved? When I was a boy aged four or five, a girl on my street would do things to me. She was seven or eight years old. She would touch me and get me to touch her, but we were both too young to understand. I imagine there is every chance she was a victim of abuse herself so I am not angry. Im 36 now and have suffered depression. I want to minimise the risk of a downswing so feel its time to confront my past and deal with it properly. n DEIDRE SAYS: Young children do explore their bodies together but she behaved in an entirely inappropriate adult way. Perhaps she was acting out things shed witnessed, or maybe she was a victim of abuse. What happened has left you feeling disturbed. Its how you feel that matters, not definitions.

I dont want my son to miss out

WE have a happy, healthy, active six-yearold but I feel were letting him down by not giving him the opportunities other kids enjoy. My partner and I dont have a big social circle, so our son has a quiet life with us at home. My sister takes her ten-year-old to the cinema and out for meals and it makes me feel inadequate. We can afford such things, though my partner prefers to hold on to money, which causes

I HAVE lots of sex dreams about my boyfriend but dont want sex when Im awake. I am 20 and think Im far too young to have no sex drive. My boyfriend is amazing but hes finding this a problem. Its not his fault, Ive always been the same. When we do get down to it, its brilliant but the only time I want him is when hes not around. I dont want to push him away. n DEIDRE SAYS: The messages we get about our bodies and sex as we grow up colour our attitudes as adults. Perhaps you were given the feeling that nice girls dont want sex? You know sex is great when you get down to it so you just need to work on ways to create desire. My advice line today Reviving A Womans Sex Drive explains how.

Dear Deidre

. . . WHEN TREVOR WALKS IN . . .

. . . WHAT THE HELL?!

CONTINUES TOMORROW

TURNING 60 has been traumatic for my husband. Hes scared of retiring and has lost his sex drive. He was quiet and withdrawn for a few months then broke down in tears saying he is afraid of getting old. I thought he was having an affair when our sex life stopped but he says no. He just has no interest. I am trying my best to help with suggestions and trying to get him to focus on healthy eating and staying fit. I dont want to become pushy about sex but I have needs too. How do I help him deal with his fears and revive our sex life? n DEIDRE SAYS: When work has been

SEX IS HIT FOR SIX-TY Dear Deidre

rows. I just want to make the most of my time with my son while hes young. n DEIDRE SAYS: Dont feel the cinema and meals out are essential. What children want most is spending time doing fun things with Mum and Dad. Museums are free and fun, and you can encourage your son to have friends home for tea or a play date. He will love it, and you could exchange baby-sitting with other mums and widen your social group too.

your whole life, retirement can feel a scary prospect but 60 is the new 40. This is just the next phase of his life, not the final phase. He needs to prepare and plan now rather than see just endless time stretching ahead after retirement day. If he is financially secure his skills can be put to good use volunteering, or he could study and hell also meet other like-minded retirees. His low sex drive is tied up with feeling depressed about the future. If he turns that around his sex drive will rev up again too. Im sending you my leaflets 50 Plus and Fab Sex over 50, which will give you both lots to work on for the future.

DRESS UP DUNGAREES
THEY are springs unlikely fashion hit and now look set to take summer by storm too.
By SASKIA QUIRKE
Dungarees might make you think of Eminem and TLC but, like the Nineties band, they are making a big comeback and I couldnt be happier. Ive been rocking mine for years and have suddenly found myself the height of fashion. Just ask style bible Vogue, who have pegged the staple as this seasons must-have item after designers Philip Lim, Margaret Howell and House of Holland all sent them down their catwalks. Topshop, always hot on the heels of the designer trends, boosted the look in February when they brought out a leather dress, which sold out in 48 hours. An army of celebrities have been sporting them too. Cropped short styles were top of the trends at this years Coachella, which serves as a fashion barometer. The look isnt just for festivals, either, with stars such as Made In Chelseas Millie Mackintosh taking the look one step further by wearing dungarees out to glamorous showbiz bashes. Style superstar Alexa Chung gave her denims a chic-over with a silk shirt and silver wedges at the DeLeon Tequila Party. But there is no doubt that this is a tricky trend to pull off even movie siren Keira Knightley has been known to mess it up. Here we show you how to work the look for night, day, work and play.

Go for a style in silk, which instantly gives the look an evening feel. Accessorise with heels and jewellery

Keep it simple. Team with a blouse with minimal neckline, dont accessorise too much

Opt for dungarees in a dark colour. Keep it office chic with a button-up shirt and heels

THE FTSE 100 ROSE 9.42 TO 6460.71

Mystery as chief Rollsout

THE aerospace chief at ROLLS-ROYCE has quit as the corruption scandal dogging the UK engine-building giant rages on. Rolls stunned the City by revealing yesterday that Mark King would be leaving his position next month. The company refused to say why the widely respected director who has been at Derbybased Rolls for 27 years was off. Last year, the Serious Fraud Office asked Rolls-Royce to investigate claims its reps had paid bribes to land airline engine contracts in Asia. And in December the company admitted it could face prosecution over the allegations. Rolls-Royces aerospace business generates more than 70 per cent of the firms 12billion in annual global sales. JEFFRIES analyst Sandy Morris said Mr Kings sudden departure was not going to pass unremarked.

SKY HITS 30M MARK

SKY piled the pressure on BT yesterday by saying Brits are taking 30 MILLION of its products from TV subscriptions to phones. And Sky chief Jeremy Darroch said it appeared BT was only making its unprecedented move into sports broadcasting to shore up its broadband business. Skys broadband customer base soared by 152,000 in the three months to April and now stands at almost 4.4 million. Mr Darroch told The Sun: BT are going to spend a lot of money and we will take it seriously. I mean their market capitalisation is bigger than ourselves, TalkTalk and Virgin

DIAMOND: I WASNT IN IT FOR THE DOSH Shameless claim by 105m banker Bob
THE disgraced former chief of BARCLAYS has incredibly Value of claimed that New Diamonds he did not go apartment York into banking for the money.
In his first interview since quitting last year, Bob Diamond, worth an estimated 105MILLION, said: I never set money as a goal. It was a result.

Media combined. But weve always competed against a second broadcaster, ESPN were no slouches. And BT seem to be seeing it more as a broadband play, to shore up their broadband business. BT will launch their first ever TV channels this summer after bagging the rights to 38 live Premier League games as well as live rugby. Pricing details are due soon and BT yesterday hired the Channel 4 team to sell advertising space. Mr Darroch said he fully respected BT but insisted Sky had no plans to cut prices in retaliation. He added Sky

was in as good a shape as its ever been and expected to create 550 sales jobs. Yesterdays results from Sky 39.1 per cent owned by Sun parent NEWS CORP revealed nine-month profits leapt 9 per cent to 966million. Total product subscriptions hit 30.2 million up from 27.7 million a year ago. It has nearly 10.4 million subscribers for Sky TV, 4.7 million for Sky Plus HD and 3.3 million for Sky Go on the iPad or smartphone.

Shell of a pot for oil boss

SHELL boss Peter Voser is stepping down with a 13MILLION pension and seeking a change in lifestyle. The understated Swiss chief yesterday revealed he would go in the first half of next year after five years in the job. Dubbed safe hands, the 54-year-old steered the Anglo-Dutch titan through the crunch as its rival BP plunged into crisis following the Gulf of Mexico spill. He said: Im looking forward to having more time available for my family and private life. Quarterly results yesterday showed Shell made 5.1BILLION in the three months to March 31, up 4 per cent. Cash flow in the quarter hit an incredible 7.4billion. Divis in the past year have totalled 7.1billion. Finance director Simon Hendry is a possible successor along with CENTRICA boss Sam Laidlaw.

Upbeat . . Skys Jeremy Darroch

THE boss of mining business RANDGOLD RESOURCES claims the falling gold price will trigger job cuts and company failures across the industry. Outspoken South African chief Mark Randgold said: At some point theyll realise the brown stuff is s***, not chocolate. He insisted Randgold would be OK as it budgets for gold at $1,000 per troy ounce. But shares dropped 95p to 5015p yesterday as first quarter profits fell 22 per cent to 52.3million. Gold prices were at a two-year low in the first quarter with the biggest two-day drop for 30 years last month. It is now trading at $1,469 per troy ounce.

He added: The only car I own, honestly, is an 11-year-old Jeep. We dont have a boat, we dont have fancy cars. I think we have lived well, but it hasnt been about accumulation. In the wake of the claims, Lib Dem peer Matthew Oakeshott last night said Diamond simply has no shame. The American, 61 who owns a 24million apartment in New York also claimed that until the Libor scandal hit last year, he had no idea how

the key overnight rate was even set. He said: If you asked me who at Barclays submitted the rate every day, I wouldnt be able to tell you. I bet you if you asked every chief executive of any bank on the street they would give you the same answer. The New York Times interview is the first by the banker since he was forced out of Barclays last summer by Bank

of England governor Sir Mervyn King. It is certain to infuriate politicians who claim Diamond is the poster child of all that went wrong with investment or casino banking. He became infamous for trousering huge bonuses in 2011 alone he made 17million in pay, shares and perks. He was eventually forced out of the investment bank after Barclays was fined 290million for Libor fiddling by its traders. At the time his daughter Nell controversially tweeted that Chancellor George Osborne and Labour leader Ed Miliband could go ahead and HMD an insult that means hold my d***. Diamond claims he initially believed the governor did not have the authority to force him out but after speaking to his wife Jennifer, he concluded: Whats the best thing I can do for the firm? Step aside and shut up.

DON Flynn, of the Migrants Rights Network, believes the rise in the immigrant population is not something we should be worrying about. What Mr Flynn is actually talking about is the end of English culture and society as we know it. If things dont change, English people will end up like Native American Indians or the Aborigines strangers in our own land.

Ive had to pay for private tuition which I could ill afford to get my two children through their maths GCSE because their teachers werent good enough. Parents of other bright children in the class had to do the same. THE shocking photo of badly beaten Rebecca Beattie, pictured, should be pinned up in the office of the NHS pen pushers who refused her surgery to repair her shattered nose. Are they really that callous and unfeeling? Particularly as Josie Cunninghams request for an NHS boob job went through with no problems.

WATCHING 75-year-old

Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, pictured , abdicating her throne for her son, Willem-Alexander, 46, was heart-warming. How wise to let a younger person take over and to give him the chance of a long reign and his mother the opportunity to enjoy her life. Our Queen has done so much, but at 87 she should give a younger man her duties. I cant see that happening, though.

ITS been 20 years since we heard Rod Stewart sing one of his own songs he thought his ability to write had gone. But after penning his autobiography Rod, memories welled up and so did songs resulting in Time, his most personal album to date. This week, in Part 2 of our exclusive interview with Rod at his home in LA, he opens up about songwriting, loved ones and past loves. We also chat to indie duo SHE & HIM and meet moonshine roots music singer Valerie June. Alex Zane reviews crime thriller Dead Man Down and we play Dragons Dogma: Dark Arisen.

ALL STARS (U) 106mins

JUST how young do you have to be to buy into All Stars rose-tinted vision of what its like to be a kid who has Nowhere else to go but their youth club? That said, Id probably want to hang out at this club as its amazing in a wholly unbelievable way. Funky neon signs adorn the walls, its huge and has facilities for playing music, doing martial arts and dancing. And all these are going to be needed when two young kids, Ethan (Theo Stevenson) and Jaden (Akai Osei-Mansfield), decide to put on a talent show to save the club from an evil councillor (Mark Heap) who wants to turn it into a car park. There are some spirited performances from the youngsters, some gloriously OTT ones from the adult cast populated with familiar faces from British comedy shows and the occasional funny line for grown-ups. But for the most part, unless you fancy a girl at school and think the best way to win her over is to start a street dance crew called All Stars and get the whole group to wear matching T-shirts youre too old for this. HH

IM So Excited! Dont be. In fact, prepare to be underwhelmed by this all-out assault on your senses. Im generally a fan of Spanish director Pedro Almodovars shock tactics. But in this OTT camp comedy, set on an aeroplane, there is not a drop of substance behind the shrill characters. As for the humour, beyond a couple of titters, Almodovars idea of jokes is gay air stewards repeatedly discussing the sex lives of their colleagues. Its about as sophisticated as an Adam Sandler script. The time is padded out by the business-class passengers spilling their secrets as they face the possibility of death. But a secret is only entertaining if its revealed gradually not gabbled all at once. This is one mile-high club you wont want to join. HH GRANT ROLLINGS

FORMER Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens romances Australian actress Emily Browning in new film Summer In February. The pair find themselves in a love triangle involving artist AJ Munnings, played by Dominic Cooper. The film opens on June 14.

THIS is a brash, lewd college comedy that delivers its un-PC brand of humour with pride and a big drunken grin on its face. Be warned though if slowmotion vomiting isnt your thing, neither is this. Miller (Miles Teller) and Casey (Skylar Astin) are two old school friends who pay a surprise visit to their mate Jeff (Justin Chon)

Jeff gets too drunk and passes out and his friends cant remember where he lives. So begins a cross-campus adventure, as they get into all kinds of trouble trying to get him home in time. Its basically The Hangover-lite, and is penned and co-directed by the two writers of the first Hangover film. The films ace is Teller. With

the looks and attitude of John Cusack crossed with Vince Vaughn, its his cocky, rapidfire, train-of-thought diatribes that keep this film afloat in its weaker moments. This might be juvenile but its not pretending to be anything else. Best watched with mates and some beers. HHH

vival thrills with surreal visuals, this is a 3D film that loses none of its wonder on a flat screen. It skirts around the preachiness of the book, letting newcomer Sharma shine as the resourceful yet vulnerable young hero. A dedicated labour of love, the special features on animating Richard Parker arent so much thorough as encyclopaedic. This is an immense tiger feat. HHHHH

JOURNEYMAN
(12) 522mins
TIME travel on our screens rarely works out well. You leave the tap running in the 19th Century and when you come back, the chief exec of Thames Water owns all of Europe. This more optimistic era-leaping TV series finally arrives on DVD somewhat aptly from way back in the distant past of 2007. San Francisco journalist Dan Vasser (Kevin McKidd) is flung through the ages, with each jump letting him change somebodys destiny. Its very much a modern version of Quantum Leap, with a dash of Time Travellers Wife romantic tension courtesy of his ex (Moon Bloodgood). But McKidd is a solid presence and a brief feature on the disc hints at where Dans journey could have gone had the show not bitten the dust. This derivative but promising show just ran out of time. HHH

SPARTACUS: WAR OF THE DAMNED (18) 440mins

ROMAN historical dramas used to be genteel affairs meticulously-researched recreations of a noble empire, starring Derek Jacobi. But what TV viewers really wanted were hunky gladiators enjoying lurid threesomes with slave girls and more decapitations than the French Revolution. Thoroughly historically inaccurate and gleefully tasteless, this third and final instalment of the swords n sandals series brings it clattering to a raucous climax. Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) bounds out of the gladiatorial ring and into full-on combat with the armies of Rome. The rebels are similar shades of heroic, the girls are more Baywatch than Boudicca and the carnage grows a little wearing over ten episodes. But this is still a slice of likeable, bloodstained nonsense. HHH

THE LORDS OF SALEM

FROM Harry Potters wholesome magicians to Twilights vegan vampires, the supernatural on screen is currently as threatening as a fluffy bunny pulled from a conjurers hat. So heres ex-heavy metal loon Rob Zombie to dish out a healthy dose of that old black magic. Radio host Heidi (Robs missus Sheri Moon Zombie) plays a mysterious record on her show but its the most appalling dirge since Emeli Sands last single. Before long there are witches in every corner, flashbacks to an awful past and more shots of goats looking alarmed than in any other film ever. Zombie aims for a Seventies vibe with the escalating dread. But the horror reveals are so badly misplayed that fear turns to hilarity. Despite occasional chills, it puts the lame into Salem. HH

CHIMPANZEE
(U) 78mins

THIS is director Niels Arden Oplevs first movie since the original Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and it sees him back with that films leading lady, Noomi Rapace.
But if that movie was near-perfect with not a wasted scene, this crime thriller is baggy and has the tendency to verge on the ridiculous. Colin Farrell is Victor, a gangster working for crime boss Alphonse (Terrence Howard). He lives in a high-rise block and across from him in a neighbouring tower lives Beatrice (Rapace, who played Lisbeth Salander in Swedens 2009 Dragon Tattoo). She is a former beautician who suffered scars to her face as a result of being hit by a drunk driver, and now spends most of the time indoors. After a few longing looks across the void, Beatrice and Victor strike up an odd friendship. Their first date is touchingly awkward, but what initially seems like a burgeoning romance actually has a far darker reason behind it. To say any more would be to ruin the first of

DEAD MAN DOWN

(15) 118mins
many twists in this overly drawn-out story. There are interesting moments of strange, offbeat humour that give the film a quirky charm not normally seen in a revenge flick. Plus there are a couple of memorable images such as a disturbed Beatrice overdoing it with eyebrow tweezers on an unaware customer. And there is a torture scene involving Death by rats that could sit happily in Se7en. The cast which also includes Isabelle Huppert as Beatrices almost-deaf mother are excellent, and Farrell and Rapace make an interesting pairing. Meanwhile Dominic Cooper is great as one of Victors friends. Its this cast that prevent this movie entirely disappearing down one of its own plot holes. But even these actors cant do much to avoid the storys confused tone. For much of its overlong running time its a downbeat noir-ish thriller but then the climax wouldnt look out of place in a Jason Statham movie. Nothing wrong with that but it seems a rather odd way for this to end. This film has ideas to spare but rarely manages to turn them, or its solidly directed action, into something completely satisfying. HH

IN cinematic terms Oscar is a natural. Hes cute, has huge hazel eyes, is athletic and can produce a mixture of happy or sad emotions. Oh, and hes a chimp, which puts him higher up the evolutionary scale than some rivals youll see on the big screen. Brilliant British nature filmmakers Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield chose Oscar to be the star of this Disney movie, which creates a story from real events recorded over 700 painstaking days in an Ivory Coast rainforest. A fine choice. Can Oscar survive in the harsh jungle where a rival gang of chimps, led by Scar, threaten to force his family from their nut and fruit groves? I wont reveal too much but there are a few emotional turns which rival fictional tales such as Bambi. Narrated by Tim Allen, it is very similar to its predecessor African Cats. There are educational moments but its primarily made to entertain. HHH GRANT ROLLINGS

STEVE MARTIN & EDIE BRICKELL

Love Has Come For You

NOAH AND THE WHALE

Heart Of Nowhere

Id given up. Simple as that. I had a blank for two decades and just didnt think I could do it. Then I started writing and it just happened. Stewart, 68, might be one of Britains best-known singers but it was only while writing last years autobiography Rod that he rediscovered his ability to write a song. Pouring from a bottle of Kendall Jackson fine wine in his bar at Celtic House, his Beverly Hills mansion, Stewart says its been a huge confidence boost too. It did knock me a bit, he admits. Ive written all those hits in the past then just couldnt do it. But my book was a little ray of sunshine. All those memories and talking about loved ones started me thinking. And when (long-time music collaborator) Jim Cregan came round one day, he said, Right, you lazy sod, lets try and write a song. And thats when we came up with Brighton Beach. So when Jim heard that song, he said, That is pretty good, explains Stewart. Then we finished it and I said, No, actually its great. Im going to have a go at another song and thats the way it went. I ended up with 16. And theyre all uplifting, great numbers. Its almost the soundtrack to the book. Time released on May 13 is a very personal album for Stewart, with songs inspired by his third wife Penny, his family and past loves. And the heartfelt Brighton Beach recalls the young troubadour Rod, in love for the first time with then girlfriend Susannah Boffey, dreaming of what could be. He sings You were my Greta Garbo, I was Jack Kerouac. I swear to God I could not have loved you any more.

In fact, I should be in the Guinness Book Of World Records, he laughs.

IT has been the longest writers block ever, says Rod Stewart, referring to his comeback album of original material the first in 20 years.

MOST of you know Steve Martin as the Hollywood comic and some might remember Edie Brickell for her Eighties one-hit wonder, What I Am, with The New Bohemians. Martin also happens to be an expert banjo player (how much talent can one man have?) and Brickell happens to be married to his pal Paul Simon. A chance discussion at Simons 70th birthday party led to this beautifully crafted album rooted in American traditional music but also bearing a fresh, contemporary sheen. The intuitive combination of Brickells storied songs and Martins endlessly dexterous playing is intoxicating. The pair hook you in and never let go. SC

FOUR albums in, Noah And The Whale find themselves very at home in the heart of smooth, radio-friendly rock. Despite frontman Charlie Finks tender 26 years they seem comfortable with mid-tempo, chiming, new wave guitar riffs and easy melodies. Which is no bad thing, when counterpointed by the intelligent lyrics which deal with the angst of time passing and growing up. The sublime string section on the title track gives proceedings a feel of genuine quality while lullaby Not Too Late is a perfect album closer. And their folky roots seem far away on grown-up rock such as All Through The Night. Heartfelt and accomplished. JS

Posh

Last week in The Sun, Stewart spoke about this song and how he has worked hard to form a relationship with eldest daughter Sarah, now 50, born from this relationship when he was just 18 and given up for adoption by Susannah when she was one. He said: I was intimidated by Susannah. She was very upper class and spoke posh whereas I came from north London and I didnt speak so well. Today, Stewarts life couldnt be more different, with the singer worth more than 150million. We meet at his family home on the Beverly Park estate a private, gated community in the hills above Los Angeles. Entry is via a security check and gate and neighbours include Eddie Murphy, Sylvester Stallone and Samuel L Jackson. A quick tour of the area and Im shown the house Prince once lived in. Caterers prepare for a dinner party while Rod is joined by Penny, 42, who inspired a lot of songs on Time, including album opener She Makes Me Happy, Finest Woman and Sexual Religion, about the night I first met Penny at the Dorchester. Penny was moved when she first heard those songs, says Stewart smiling proudly at his wife. And I overheard my singers saying (about She Makes Me Happy) I wish someone would write a love song like that for me. I was touched when I heard that. Weve got a dinner party tonight but Pennys been suffering with a hangover all day. I got over it an hour ago ready for the next onslaught, she replies. The soulful ballad Its Over on Time goes back to Stewarts breakups, in particular his split from second wife Rachel Hunter, which devastated him when she left. He

says: I tried therapy for a while but it didnt work. British guys are not good at talking about their feelings. Theyre more, Lets get on with it. With the divorce, I was hurting. I realised that theres no way around it, theres no way over it, no way through it youve got to just live it. Which I did with help from very good friends. A few days earlier, SFTW were in north Hollywood to see Stewart rehearse with his full band and backing singers for his forthcoming Live The Life tour which kicks off at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham on June 1. In fine form, Stewart tries out another new song, Cant Stop Me Now, followed by an oldie, his 1978 hit Hot Legs. Its a bloody nightmare with the set list now, he says. Weve five new songs in there and I made a list of 12 songs that have been hits in Europe. And we have to find room for all the other stuff too. I always like to give fans what they want but you also want to play the new songs as the band love playing them and I love singing them. Its really emotional for me in rehearsals too. When Chuck plays the bagpipe bits I always get a bit of a lump to my throat. Cant Stop Me Now, which Stewart penned with Kevin Savigar (whose previous collaborations include Young Turks and Tonight Im Yours), is another standout on Time and was inspired by Stewarts dad, Robert, who passed away in 1990. Ive got loads of great memories of my parents, says Stewart, and that song just came to me as I was thinking how great my dad was. They used to come over to LA a lot and one time my dad flew over on Concorde. He was so down to earth and enamoured by the journey and food that he thought he had to pay for it. He asked the stewardess for the bill when the plane landed. He said, How much do I owe you, darling? His favourite song of mine was Sailing and he would always have a little handkerchief, wiping under his eyes every time we played it. I tried to spend as much time with him as I could in the last ten years of his life. I would take him and my mum, who was in a wheelchair, everywhere I could. We shared a lot of great times

together and there was a photo of me crying in the papers last year when Celtic beat Barcelona in the Champions League. That was because I was thinking about dad and wish hed been there. Theres nothing wrong with crying. Men should let it go. Its not only his songwriting that made a return for Stewart on Time he also produced the album, with Savigar engineering and mixing. People forget I am also a producer, as Id even forgotten, he laughs. There were a lot of those early Seventies albums I did on my own. Even when I hired producers like Lou Reizner and Tom Dowd, I was really at the helm then. They were just like the conduit for me to get the band and me out of the pub and get us working. Tommy Dowd was always like a big schoolteacher with us. I did all the production really it was all more or less my idea. Time includes one cover Picture In A Frame by Tom Waits, from his 1999 record Mule Variations.

Proud

I dont know what it is about Tom Waits that suits me, says Stewart. Downtown Train was a hit for me in 1989 and that was one of his too. Ive never ever met him either! And Ive loved Picture In A Frame for a long time. So does Penny. And Ive always done and am known for my covers. Its very gratifying and satisfying to do them. Its clear that Stewart is intensely proud of his return to writing and says he would never take his popularity for granted. He says: The American Songbook series and Merry Christmas Baby all did hugely well, but this is something I needed to do for me. And what about the comeback with The Faces? Will Stewart and his pal Ronnie Wood be reunited? Well, we were on for it but he got nabbed back by the Rolling Stones, didnt he? smiles Stewart. But let them have him, because my eyes are on next year. Id really like a reunion of The Jeff Beck Group AND The Faces with Ronnie. Imagine that? Weve got the UK tour coming up with the residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas after that then we can start thinking about The Faces. Exciting times ahead thats for sure.

TREETOP FLYERS

The Mountain Moves

By SIMON COSYNS

ZOOEY Deschanel (She) and M.Ward (Him) clearly spend a lot of time listening to old Beach Boys and Phil Spector records.
Its no bad thing because the third volume of songs by the Hollywood actress and the recording artist from Portland, Oregon, serves as a wonderful homage to the heyday of American pop.

THE exotically-named Caroline Esmeralda van der Leeuw is a phenomenon in her native Holland. Her debut album spent 30 weeks at No1 on the Dutch album chart, eclipsing the record set by Thriller. Her schtick is combining the sultry jazz vocal of a mid-century starlet with 21st-century electronic production. Add the whine of an accordion and odd honk of brass and you have yourself a fullyformed hybrid. But for the most part, the clich-ridden production and kitsch choruses hinder her talent as a vocalist, with the effect being gimmicky. PC

ROE has toured with Mumford & Sons and been a key member of Laura Marlings band but this finely-honed folk album is his very own thing of rare beauty. Ryan Adams has already bigged up There Has To Be A Reason because the combination of banjo, guitar and piano perfectly frames the singers bruised, intimate vocals. The mood continues into Creepers Call which introduces yearning fiddle. Special mention, too, for the packaging. Basically, its two beer mats sandwiching the CD. SC

COMPRISING four Brits and one American, this promising outfit take their inspiration from the other side of the Atlantic. They have delivered an accomplished debut that draws on the cornerstones of roots music folk, country and soul. Recorded in Malibu, theres a suitably breezy West Coast vibe to opener Things Will Change while Postcards is a lilting homage to the golden era of doo-wop. Watch this band fly way beyond the treetops. SC

The album also represents the full flowering of a creative partnership that began in 2006 on the set of The Go-Getter. (She took the female lead and Him wrote the score.) Volume 3 is notable for the extra confidence and expression in Zooeys vocals and for the way Matts arrangements have become more daring and sumptuous. It seamlessly blends original compositions with three covers including a ravishing retro take on Blondies playful 1978 UK No1 hit Sunday Girl complete with verse in French. The Beach Boys sonic references are never more apparent than on the opening Ive Got Your Number, Son while the beautifully orchestrated Shadow Of Love showcases the pairs more wistful side. The album was recorded while Zooey was in between filming seasons of hit American sitcom New Girl and looks set to propel her second career to a new level. So here, exclusively for SFTW, She & Him tell the story of their meeting of minds and the music that comes from it.

ACHIEVING a kind of cult status in the late Nineties, this band fronted by the former child actress Jenny Lewis at whom much of the more ardent fandom was directed broke up in 2007. This collection of 16 littleheard and unreleased songs does a great job of showing how much the band had going for them. From the unabashed emotion of Eighties-style duet I Remember You to the insouciant country-punk of All The Drugs, RKives has delved into the bands d a r k e r recesses to play out their tangled story.

HUGH LAURIE
Didnt It Rain

The Memphis-born singersongwriter mixes folk, gospel and blues into her very own moonshine roots music. Here she tells JACQUI SWIFT about making her record, working with Auerbach and what she thinks about Jake Bugg.

THE Black Keys Dan Auerbach is a fan, as is Jake Bugg and listening to Valerie Junes album Pushin Against A Stone, its clear why her music demands attention.

You worked with Dan Auerbach on this record. How did you team up and why was he the man to produce your record?

had been working with Sheena for two years. She booked my first tour to the green and lovely Ireland!

There are actually three producers on this record! Kevin Augunas, one of the other producers on the album, introduced us to each other. He was the man because his name was Dan!

or so, take time to listen to what we did, think about what it needs and add stuff slowly.

With the first record I was so timid; a lot of it was just getting the vocals down. Matt and I recorded our first song together at our friend Mike Coykendalls house. I needed them both to disappear! There was a lot of stuff I needed to deal with psychologically. By Volume 2, I was a lot more confident and now with Volume 3 Im even more confident. There were things we went for this time because we figured, why not? Our taste is very similar and pretty varied. I dont like just one genre of music. Thats part of what informs the songs. Were not locked into one kind of arrangement. Im always writing songs. Some of them were old and some are more recent. When I wrapped the first season of my show, we had a hiatus month between seasons and instead of doing a movie, Matt and I decided to make the record. We go into the studio for a week

HAS your approach to changed since Volume 1?

ZOOEY

singing

It always works out .When people try too hard to write a themed record, it sounds disingenuous. But if you just make the record, it sort of ends up fitting together. Its better to worry about having good songs, the right production and the most organic process than worrying about cohesiveness. That was one of my favourite songs in high school. It had been released a little before my time, but my friend had a best of Blondie CD and I made a taped copy. It was actually Matts idea to cover it. I normally like to cover songs that are a little less well known but Matt said he hadnt heard the song before. The half English, half French version is the one I knew. We approached it as what if Buddy Holly did a Blondie song? Its definitely melancholic. A lot of the songs are upbeat but the lyrics can be dour or sad. Its

Do you try to make an album that fits together in a particular way or does it come together naturally?

In a world where people buy one song at a time, I like records. When I grew up, part of how you were turned on to music was youd buy an album for one song and youd eventually listen to the whole record and appreciate it. Youd cherish it because youd put in the time to listen to all the songs. I still hold on to that idea and I wont let it go.

Is there still a place for albums in the digital world?

important to mix those things and they colour the album in different ways.

Zooey suggested both. Shes loved Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me for ever. I like the new energy she brings to it. Baby is a very obscure Ellie Greenwich song and we were happy to get it on this record. Every record turns into whatever the listener gets out of it. I get annoyed with movies or books or songs or records that deliberately try to make you feel a certain way. I think Zooey is very good at writing songs that dont hit you over the head with how she wants you to feel. I love the spirit and energy of Tilly And The Wall. Their gang vocals really helped.

What about the other two covers?

great match. It seemed to fit really well with the She & Him catalogue and sound. Productionwise, I wanted to try a version with a different energy to the way Blondie did it.

Is there a theme to Volume 3?

LAURIE pulled off an amazing coup when he shook off his terribly British persona to convincingly play the coolly cynical title role in US drama House. He proved he had yet more surprises up his sleeve when he released his debut album Let Them Talk an impassioned ode to the music of New Orleans. His second album continues in a similar vein. Its a coherent body of work that is best enjoyed in one sitting. Gutsy and real, he and his band inhabit the Deep Southern blues which they reinvent, rather than deliver a mere impression. PC

Its a whimsical title open the listeners mind. It also has been an organic process of planting seeds and watching the roots grow and tending my garden. I love it when the Bible says you reap what you sow.

Folk, gospel and blues you bring this music all together in your own style on this album. How do you describe it and where did moonshine roots music come from?

He also co-wrote You Cant Be Told with you. Tell us about that experience and how it differs to writing on your own.
I really enjoyed songwriting with Dan. I enjoy the songs in their raw form when they are new, brighteyed babies almost more than anything else. Every songwriting session is different but there has to be a chemistry to write a good song.

cover

Blondies

Tell us about your creative process?

The compositions are all Zooeys. Thats the way weve always worked. She emails me the demos, basically just vocals and piano sometimes vocals and ukulele and I just sit with these very raw demos for months, sometimes years. Zooey wrote Never Wanted Your Love quite a few years ago and it eventually found its way on the record with a very different framework.

HOW do you and Zooey approach writing music together?

MATT

Tilly And The Wall were involved in this album, what did they bring?

Would you say theres melancholic side to Volume 3?

Whats your take on Sunday Girl and what do you think of Zooeys French?

I was very impressed with Zooeys French and the song was a

The strings are a little more nuanced this time around. We got more energy out of them. The more I arrange strings, the more I realise the possibilities. This is the first record where we used brass instruments, too, so I kept those pretty simple.

What are your thoughts on those wonderful string arrangements?

DEBUTS are rarely as consistently epic and arresting as this. Kingston upon Thames own audio chemistry class is ostensibly a post-rock mathcore outfit that defies the shackles of the timesignature-testing genre with massive, Muse-esque melodies and hauntingly delicate acoustical depths. Lyrically and vocally Andrew Groves is on fire. The rivetingly segmented Slow and caustically discordant Hell & High Water are real highs there are no lows. Seriously addictive stuff. RL

Tennessee is everything to me! I was surrounded by the country music world of Nashville that was to the north of my small town and Memphis, which was to the south with its rock and roll, blues and soul. I felt rich with musical sounds.

How did growing up in Tennessee help create your style?

I heard a voice singing the song to me and wrote it down. I sing it because I can relate to working. I work quite a bit 24/7.

Tell us about Workin Women Blues and what inspired it.

I would love to write with M. Ward or Gillian Welch because I love their lyrics and the way their records sound old and true.

Who else would you like to write with, and why?

Im not home enough to be changed by NYC.

But you now live in New York? How has that influenced you? Has there ever been a time when it has been too much of a struggle and you thought youd had enough?

The songs are all my children. I dont compare them to each other.

How does the rest of the album compare to the singles?

Your lyrics are very visual and tell a story. Which other storytelling lyricists do you relate to/admire?
Townes Van Zandt, Wendell Berry, Van Morrison, Emily Dickinson, Joanna Newsom . . . its endless.

So how did you sign to Sunday Best and how active has Rob Da Bank been in your career?

No, it has always been about the journey for me. Today is just as much of a struggle as ten years ago.

I have met Rob twice. Sheena Keane, a manager from Ireland, introduced Sunday Best to my music. I

Yes, Jake chooses his own support act with care. He and his team were great! Id do it again any day.

That was a shame, because it offered something a little bit different by marrying Eastern and Western gameplay. But it probably explains Dark Arisen which isnt a new game, rather the full one that came out last year with up to 15 hours of additional content. Its not the easiest game to play. For newcomers, you will be dropped into the world after an attack on your village by a dragon and then you pretty much have to

work out what to do next. Youre taught how to control your character but its up to you to push the story on. Nothings been updated in the graphics or gameplay department. With slightly muddy looks and glitches on screen, it would have been nice to see these addressed. It doesnt look terrible but compared to other games in the category (Dark Souls and Skyrim), does not hold up well. One

of the things that sets Dragons Dogma apart is its pawn system. Having the ability to recruit non-player characters to aid you on your quest is something that quite a few games try but this one does it right. Rather than just random pawns hanging about all the time, you can go online and recruit other players. For anyone considering their first steps into the world of Dragons Dogma, this is a good game with plenty to explore. But for adventurers coming in from last JN years release, it is a harder sell.

FOR all the Jose Mourinho types out there, this is a series of tactical puzzles to guide your team to the title.

A MAN WITHOUT BREATH

Philip Kerr, 18.99

HOW ironic that the Nazis of all people should set up a war crimes bureau. Yet thats exactly where cynical Berlin cop Bernie Gunther ends up working in the latest of Kerrs brilliant Second World War thrillers. Its 1943 and propaganda minister Josef Goebbels sends him to Smolensk in occupied Poland to investigate after a mass grave is uncovered. Are the victims Polish soldiers killed by the Russians? Or Jews killed by the Nazis? Goebbels leaves Gunther in no doubt which answer he would prefer. Along the way, Gunther gets involved with a plot to kill Hitler, in a book thats tough, funny and endlessly thought-provoking. SJC

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY CHRONICLES

Daniel Falconer and Weta, 25

THIS beautifully presented book explores the amazing cast of heroes and villains, beasts and beings that populate Middle-earth in the first chapter of Peter Jacksons film adaptations of Tolkiens The Hobbit. Behind-the-scenes photography, digital renders and film stills are all included. And theres in-depth information about all the characters found in the blockbuster movie. Yes, it is pricey but this is a lovely treat for fans.

BOY 30529: A MEMOIR

Felix Weinberg, 12.99

Now the acclaimed film director and screenwriter has written his first novel, House Of Secrets co-written with New Yorker Ned Vizzini and hailed by JK Rowling. Here, SFTW speaks to Chris, 54, below who lives in north California with his family. It was originally a 90-page screenplay that was too expensive to turn into a film. It was such an amazingly rich and exciting canvas, I couldnt stop thinking about it and the only way to do this story justice was to write it as a novel. It was a liberating experience I wasnt inhibited by cinematic budgetary concerns and could write whatever I wanted.

BEST known for his film work, Chris Columbus has brought us movies such as Gremlins, The Goonies, Home Alone and three of the Harry Potter series.

thrilling ride. Having four children of my own Im still dealing with a bit of the teen years and its complicated emotionally. I used a great deal of that in the writing process. My son Brendan was the first person to read it hes very critical of my work, particularly certain films he thinks could have been better. But he called to say he loved it a wonderful phone call to get from your 21-year-old son.

What do your children think?

How did the book come about?

It can be hard to encourage children to read with so many films and electronic gadgets competing for their attention. Whats the best way to get a child into reading?
Its quite simple give the kids an exciting, thrilling adventure. Give them a story they can sink their teeth into, that speaks to them one that they can't put down.

THE author was 12 when he lost everything. Born into a respectable Czech family, he had an idyllic childhood until the day the Nazis came knocking. Over the following years, the youngster survived five concentration camps and the Death March from Blechhammer in 1945. Losing his brother and mother in the camps, Felix was eventually liberated at Buchenwald and reunited with his father at the age of 17. Harrowing, but ultimately a story of hope and courage.

YOU DONT KNOW ME

Sophia Bennett, 6.99

SASHA and Rose are best friends and their dream is to be in a band. When that dream comes true via a reality TV show theyre over the moon until the judges tell them one of them has to go. Can the girls friendship survive such a decision and then the bittersweet twist of fate when the dumped one goes on to bigger and better things? S o c i a l networking, cyber-bullying and how hard it is for a teen in the spotlight are explored in this original novel.

THE ultimate lm noir, LA Condential is as close to the perfect lm as you could possibly get. This demands your attention from the second it begins thanks to the intelligent script by Brian Helgeland and Curtis Hanson which retains the intricate and complex plot of James Ellroys novel. But it wouldnt be half the movie it is were it not for the stunning cast. Not only does Kevin Spacey deliver one of his nest performances

LA Condential

but this also announced the arrival of Russell Crowe as a major star. Beautifully shot, violent, dark and utterly compelling, this is cinema of the highest order.

I had always admired Neds work. When I was looking for someone to co-write the book, he was the first person I met. We were in total sync creatively, and I gave him the first 90 pages of the script. He sketched out the first chapter, I rewrote it and sent it back to Ned. We rewrote each others work until we were satisfied and sent about 100 pages to publishers. The rights sold in 15 territories worldwide. It was exciting, and daunting now we had to finish the book.

How was it to work with Ned?

At this point we would have to make massive edits and it would be too cost-prohibitive. Maybe time will change things.

Is the ultimate goal to see the book turned into a film?

What else are you working on?

Are you pleased with the result?

I love this book. Its a

We have begun writing House Of Secrets two and I have written three screenplays this year Im trying to decide which one Ill direct.

POISON

Sarah Pinborough, 9.99

THE Culper Ring are back to uphold their centuries-old tradition of protecting the US Presidency from the forces of darkness. Their main weapon is archivist Beecher White, who is coming out of his shell a bit as he grows into his role straddling the worlds of conspiracy, crime, assassination, treachery, small-town bitchiness and more red herrings than youd find on a Russian trawler. The author has an endearing tendency to wander off the plot to

THE FIFTH ASSASSIN

Brad Meltzer, 7.99

make sure we appreciate just how much research hes done and there are fascinating glimpses into early US politics. But the plot at the heart of the novel, and the never-ending strings of coincidences required to make it work, are a step too far. PETER THORNTON

SEX features heavily in this version of the Snow White fairytale, so dont plan on reading it to your kids. Pinborough takes a few of the elements from the Brothers Grimm folk story, adds a lot more rumpy pumpy and twines it all into a short, readable novel. Theres an evil stepmum, a betrayed beauty, seven diminutive miners and a poisoned apple, all set in a world of medieval kingdoms and magic spells. Good fun but it gets bogged down in gender politics towards the end. JW

POOL D

Londons Olympic Stadium will host FIVE matches but only two club rugby grounds Gloucesters Kingsholm and Exeters Sandy Park have been selected among the 13 venues.

RUGBY World Cup chiefs are hoping last years Olympic spirit will make their Englandbased 2015 tournament the greatest ever.

The revamped stadium, which will have 54,000 seats for the tournament, has been chosen to stage four pool matches plus the bronze-medal game.

Spark

After the schedule was announced yesterday, International Rugby Board chairman Bernard Lapasset said: The Rugby World Cup is very special. Its not a football stadium nor a rugby stadium, its a stadium for the Rugby World Cup. And IRB chief executive Brett Gosper added: It will ignite some memories and, hopefully, spark a few new ones too. Reconstruction work on the Olympic venue, which will become West Hams Premier League home

in 2016, is likely to be halted for the tournament. But World Cup chief executive Debbie Jevans is adamant the East End venue will be ready. She said: It will absolutely not be a building site. The roof will be in place, we have a detailed plan for the pitch which will be similar to Twickenham with undersoil heating and Im certain well have a great venue. We want England to feel like a rugby nation in 2015. You think of 1966, you think the football World Cup. You think of 2012, its the Olympics and Paralympics. We want 2015 to be remembered as a rugby year and to create a generation of rugby heroes. Organisers have also defended the move

RUGBY BOSSES BANKING ON LONDON 2012 SPIRIT

to shun traditional rugby grounds in favour of larger football venues as they look to sell 2.9million tickets to produce the revenue target of 80m they guaranteed to the IRB. England will play their first-ever Test at Manchester Citys Etihad Stadium which, together with another seven football grounds Newcastle, Aston Villa, Brighton, Leeds, Leicester, Milton Keynes Dons and Wembley will stage a total of 18 matches. England will begin their bid for World Cup glory at Twickenham on Friday, September 18 against the Oceania qualifiers, likely to be Fiji. But Red Rose coach Stuart Lancaster insists taking the national team north will fire up the countrys fans. The ex-Leeds Carnegie chief (left) himself a proud

Cumbrian said: We need to seize the opportunity to bring the whole country together, to inspire a new generation of players, supporters and volunteers from new communities across the length and breadth of the land. Now we know the shape the tournament will take, it brings everything into a sharp focus with less than two and a half years to go before the Rugby World Cup kicks off on English soil. We always get terrific support at Twickenham, so we are looking forward to the three big games weve got there.

Its an area thats full of passion and pride with huge numbers involved in the game and I know we will get great support there. All over the country, from St James Park in North-East England to Sandy Park in SouthWest England, the worlds best will be on show in 2015. And for all of us involved in rugby that represents a great opportunity for the game.

and Qatar Racing horses are very successful. Now Just The Judge is poised to give the Qatari royal and Charlie Hills, one of his 23 trainers, a fairytale first Classic win. She will be ridden by the Sheikhs new retained jockey Jamie Spencer. Just The Judge (with Spencer up, left) is unbeaten in three races and former rider Michael Hills says: She is the nicest filly I have ridden. Brother Charlie gave her a spin before racing at Newmarket just as his dad Barry did with Ghanaati in 2009 before winning the 1,000 Guineas. Redvers said: She looks

magnificent. If she runs as good as she looks it will be very exciting. The racecourse gallop got the freshness out of her. She stands in the same box as Ghanaati did. She has a massive physical presence and looks like a colt. Sheikh Fahad, whose country Qatar owes its fabulous wealth to gas rather than the oil riches of nearby Dubai, told me: Just The Judge takes one stride for other fillies two. Every time Jamie Spencer rides her he gets off grinning from ear to ear. Redvers added: We now have over 150 horses in training. The horses we buy always have to be good value. n SHEIKH MOs Derby and Oaks hotshots Certify and Restraint Of Trade who were at the heart of the Al Zarooni steroid scandal, have been scratched officially from all their Classic entries.

Carl scared to tackle Peacock

By GARY CARTER

Hayes Fury at name-dropper

DAVID HAYE claims his name is being used by Tyson Fury simply as a promotional tool. Fury, the 24-year-old British heavyweight whose professional record reads 21 wins and no defeats, has been publicly calling out former WBA champion Haye. But ahead of his June 29 clash with Manuel Charr in Manchester, Haye (left) moaned: From listening to what Fury says publicly, it sounds like a fight will happen. But then my people contacted his people and they dont want it. They pretty much said No, were going in another direction. So maybe he should stop screaming and shouting about how much he wants to fight me although, if he did that, he wouldnt get any coverage.

Merc may not work for Lew

By BEN HUNT

LEWIS HAMILTON has been warned his Mercedes might not be good enough to win next weekends Spanish Grand Prix. The Brit (left) was hoping new car parts would help him net his first victory in Barcelona after two third-place finishes lifted him up to third in the overall standings. But Merc chairman Niki Lauda said: We dont know if our updates for the car will work. We are moving in the right direction but we will not know until after the race. Team boss Ross Brawn added: I dont think we have the equipment to be the strongest in the race.

Potting legend Steve Davis blasted the timing as disrespectful for overshadowing the games biggest tournament. The defending world champion made his announcement less than two weeks after making his comeback from a year out. And World Snooker chairman Hearn rapped: If he goes will it be the end of my world? No. As much as we need Ronnie I cannot run a sport around the concerns of one player. Ronnie has retired more times than Frank Sinatra. There is no pressure for him to play, it is entriely his choice. At the moment some players are com plaining of burnout because

they think they are playing too much and some dont want to play at all. Ronnie does add to the game, of course he does. But if he doesnt like the schedule or the travelling he can quit. OSullivan took a sabbatical after winning last years Crucible crown and claims he only returned because of cashflow problems. His retirement rant at being skint is set to cost him an extra 250 for swearing in a Press conference. A transcript of the interview has been passed to disciplinary chiefs and he could be clobbered as a result.

Love

Six-times world champion Davis believes fan power could finally be turning against crowd favourite OSullivan for belittling snooker one too many times. Davis said: They love what comes off the end of his cue. They sometimes hate what comes out of his mouth because it is sometimes disrespectful to snooker. If hes saying hes not going to play and thats true, what use is he to the future of snooker? We know full well that Ronnie OSullivans interviews are a bit like the British weather, theyre changeable. OSullivan and Trump resume for rounds two and three of their four session epic this morning. Trump won three on the trot to end the first session all square after OSullivan raced into a 4-1 lead with breaks of 75 and 89.

Xavi: This is not the end of us

By GEOFF SWEET

XAVI . . . distraught

XAVI does not believe Barcelonas Champions League mauling signals the end of an era. The distraught Barca midfielder spent yesterday trying to recover from the 7-0 aggregate defeat by Bayern Munich in the semi-final. But the Spaniard is sure it is not the beginning of the end for Barcas current crop of stars. Xavi said: Theres no need to be drastic. The team has a future, weve competed well until now. Im always optimistic and this team has the desire to carry on. Bayern were just winners and I make them clear favourites in the final with Dortmund. After a 4-0 beating in the first leg in Germany, Barcas loss on Wednesday was their first defeat at

CLAPPY CHAPPY . . . but Guardiola faces a difficult task in Munich

THERE will be a few stars on show at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday for the pivotal meeting between Chelsea and Spurs. But even they will have to bow towards Wembley on the same day. Gathered together under the same roof will be Bobby Charlton (left), Bryan Robson, Denis Law, Gordon Banks, John Barnes, Jimmy Greaves and Dave Mackay. They will be there to mark Royal Mail launching some Football Heroes stamps. The Magnificent Seven were chosen along with Bobby Moore, John Charles and George Best. The only one missing will be Kevin Keegan, who is otherwise engaged. All the same, there should be an epic wander down memory lane.

CLASSY STAMPS

YOU wonder what exactly will be going through Pep Guardiolas mind as he watches Bayern Munich in the Champions League final.
On the other, defeat by Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on May 25 will do him a huge favour. Because the incredible success achieved by Bayern under Jupp Heynckes is leaving Guardiola with very little to improve on. In fact, it could be that the only way will be down if Bayern complete an historic Treble. When Guardiola took over at Barcelona, he faced a huge challenge.

On the one hand, he will obviously want his new club to win.

BIG NEWS . . . Germanys papers react to Bayerns win the Nou Camp in 23 European matches. Defender Gerard Pique, who scored an own goal on the night, said: I am totally frustrated by our exit. I suffered the worst 45 minutes of my sporting life in the second half. There was nothing I could do to stop Bayern. As well as being troubled at the back, Barcas front line could not get the better of Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer. Striker Pedro conceded: Again we miss the final. This time we had no chance. Bayern were better in all departments. And playmaker Cesc Fabregas added: We are hurt, we have to win La Liga as soon as possible. Their counters with Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben were hard to stop. But were Barca, we dont make excuses.

NOU YOURE GONNA BELIEVE US . . . Bayern celebrate Wednesdays win in Barcelona

Camp on Wednesday night when Bayern completed a 7-0 aggregate monstering of Barcelona. Heynckes, at 67 the oldest coach to win the Bundesliga, could not have left Guardiola a team in better shape. Or a bigger headache. The Spaniard believes he has a team he can improve. Well, he has to believe that or else he is sunk before he starts. Towards that aim, Bayern have gone out and spent 34million on Dortmunds Mario Goetze. That aside, what else can Guardiola do? Talking to Bayern fans in Barcelona about whether Heynckes would put out a reserve side against Dortmund in the league game tomorrow, they said it did not matter as the second team was as good as the first. Bayern could even afford to omit star Brazilian defender Dante at the Nou Camp since a booking would have cost him his place in the final. So, no, Guardiola can hardly make any significant, immediate impact. But what he CAN do is build on Heynckes work and create a dynasty. Certainly, Hoeness and Bayern chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge are in the mood for a trophy onslaught for the next five years. Last season their noses were put significantly out of joint when Dortmund not only successfully defended their title but thrashed Bayern 5-2 in the German Cup final. Bayern then throwing away the Champions League final to Chelsea was the final straw. Even so, bringing in Guardiola at this stage is a little like employing a steamroller to crack a nut. But when the best man is on the market why not get him? The Bayern Years look to have started. steven.howard@the-sun.co.uk

get the result they need at Crystal Palace tomorrow to keep them in the Championship. Posh looked doomed after losing their first seven league games and later star striker George Boyd to Hull. They have now won four and drawn six in 11. Itd be one of the greatest escapes of all time.

Dominant

They had just finished third in La Liga under Frank Rijkaard and not won the title for two seasons and the Copa del Rey for 10 despite having players such as Ronaldinho and Samuel Etoo. Guardiolas arrival in Munich could not be more of a contrast. Bayern have just won the league with a record six games to spare and are through to the final of both the German Cup and Champions League. They have been beaten just three times in 48 games this season and, incredibly, have not dropped a point in the league this year 14 straight wins. Club president Uli Hoeness purred: Ive rarely seen a Bayern team this dominant. It all came to a head at the Nou

RICH N FAMOUS
DAVID BECKHAM sits on top of the nations Sport Rich List with a 165million fortune. But its not footballers who dominate the top 20 theres just Beckham and Rio Ferdinand (42m). No, motor racing features strongly with EIGHT former or current F1 drivers in the first 20. And you get the women as well. Who wants to be a footballer?

Klopp skip and jump

A FINE MESSI
JUST when Barcelona needed Lionel Messi most, he didnt even make it off the bench on Wednesday night. The Nou Camp medical team scored a dramatic own goal here. The Argentine played in the 4-0 loss at Bayern then missed the second leg despite coming on at Athletic Bilbao last weekend. This is serious mismanagement of a players fitness. And confirms Barca are not the same without Messi and his goals. BENCHED . . . Messi

JURGEN KLOPP is aiming to put down a marker for Wembley in Borussia Dortmunds Champions League rehearsal against Bayern Munich. The German giants meet in the Bundesliga tomorrow and Dortmund coach Klopp said: We will give it everything we have I can promise that.

It makes you wonder why he employed trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni, now banned from racing for eight years for administering anabolic steroids to 15 horses. Zarooni is either painfully stupid or arrogant in August, he was warned his Newmarket yard would be targeted for out-of-competition drug testing after horses were found with painkillers in their systems.

But Heppels address and signature have been blacked out as permitted by Section 859G of the Companies Act 2006. And neither Fulham nor Vibracs British lawyers were able to identify which Vibrac director had signed off the deal. The Premier League know who is behind Vibrac. But fans of Fulham, Everton, Southampton and West Ham remain in the dark about whose money keeps them ticking over.

connected to where they finish. Real Madrid ambassador Zinedine Zidane this week claimed going higher than 60million for Bale would not be a problem. Villas-Boas added: Its great for a player of Zidanes dimension to speak about Gareth. Whatever price tag the player has doesnt matter to us because hes our player.

He was crowned Football Writers Association Player of the Year yesterday to go with his two PFA gongs. And it means he has been the butt of jokes with his team-mates in training. Boss AVB said: Theyve been having banter with him but that is a good environment and recognition of what he has achieved. Its only good banter a couple of jokes. AVB is confident Bale can be the best player he has coached as the 23-yearold has time to improve even more. The Spurs boss started out at Porto where he had Radamel Falcao and Hulk leading his attack. He then went to Chelsea where he worked with Stamford Bridge legends past and present in Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard. But AVB insists the difference with Bale is he is yet to peak. He said: I think he can become even better. Ive had the privilege of working with great players and DROGBA Gareth certainly joins those Ive worked with as the best. Hopefully, we will continue to achieve the objectives and allow Gareth to get the individual recognition from the seasons he can still have. He can develop to be more lethal as he gets more accustomed to this new position FALCAO and experiences it more. AVB is also confident Bales mentality and that of his team-mates will ensure success does not go to his head. He added: You see the way he has thanked his colleagues for letting him achieve those two awards. He goes into a select group which has won both awards in the same year and the PFA award twice. Its wonderful for him to be able to recognise his colleagues in a moment when he is recognised as an individual. Bale will lead the Spurs attack against Southampton tomorrow when they look to get back in the top four. And AVB is confident Alex Ferguson can do his men a favour on Sunday by battling against Chelsea, despite already winning the title. He added: Alex is an extremely competitive manager so I have no doubts about what he does. We saw an example of that against Arsenal last weekend and I dont think United will do anything differently against Chelsea, particularly after being knocked out of the FA Cup by them.

BAINES AIMS TO KO KOP

BAINES . . . ambitions

LEIGHTON BAINES reckons victory at Anfield on Sunday could bring a shift in power on Merseyside and help shape the whole future of Everton. The Blues go to the home of their fiercest rivals Liverpool five points ahead in the Premier League. And a win would see them finish above the Reds for the second straight season. But defender Baines, 28, believes climbing one more place in the table and claiming fifth spot guaranteeing a place in Europe is the REAL carrot for everyone inside Goodison. Boss David Moyes has still to decide whether he will go into a 12th season

BITE OF ALL RIGHT . . . Suarez and Gerrard

BRENDAN RODGERS wants four summer signings to boost his bid to bring Champions League football back to Liverpool. The five-times kings of Europe have not played in the continents top competition since 2010. Boss Rodgers (below) explained: We have a small squad, so the key for us is to bring in three or four quality players that can add to the group, and keep us moving forward. We want to evolve. We are trying to improve. Liverpool are 10 points adrift of fourth place as Rodgers comes towards the end of his first season at Anfield. He added: When I came I knew it was a big challenge to get the club into the top four it wasnt going to happen overnight. This season was about trying to place a base.

STEVEN GERRARD believes Luis Suarezs biting ban could HELP Liverpool as the Kop bad boy is so desperate to make up for letting down his mates.

in charge and European football could also help keep the likes of Marouane Fellaini at the club. Baines said: For the ambitions of the top players and also the manager, it is important we finish in Europe. If we can get into Europe it may help us in the transfer market as it makes the club more appealing. The manager hasnt said anything about his own position but youd have to think Europe is important to his ambitions. It is important if we can finish ahead of Liverpool in terms of the balance of power on Merseyside. To do it a couple of seasons running bears some significance.

The shocking incident was condemned around the world. But Liverpool vowed to help the Uruguayan hot head over his anger issues. And Gerrard thinks Suarez is so determined to repay that support, he will return as an even deadlier player next season. The Anfield captain insisted: Luis has done the right thing by apologising and taking his medicine. Hes really unhappy he cant help the team, and he was really down when the ban came through. But once he is back from his ban, we will be the ones that benefit. Luis will want to make it up to the club and the team that he has been out for so long. He will be desperate to atone for that. The South Americans punishment raised fears among some fans that Suarez, 26, could turn his back on English football if he feels he is being victimised. Bayern Munich, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have all been mentioned as would-be buyers, should he choose to cut and run. Yet Gerrard revealed there has been no hint of that from Suarez, who continues to train with the first team, and the skipper is convinced he will stick around. Gerro added:

Suarez is out of action until the end of September after chewing on the arm of Chelseas Branislav Ivanovic a fortnight ago.

I dont think whats happened to Luis will affect him much in terms of his future. Maybe one day we will have to accept he wants to move on but I dont see any signs of it at the moment. Luis has been really happy here and he seems settled. Suarez misses Sundays Merseyside derby against Everton but Brendan Rodgers side coped well enough without their 30-goal top scorer as they tonked Newcastle 6-0 last weekend. Gerrard admitted: It would be a disservice to Luis to say we can cope without him but it would then be disrespectful to my team-mates to say that we cant.

Awesome

In an ideal world wed have him available because he has had a phenomenal season. But I have a lot of belief in the squad. We can cope without Luis until the end of the season. I certainly wont go into the derby at the weekend feeling we cant win the game because Luis isnt there. Yet even if Suarez does stay, Gerrard, 32, would love to see another front man joining Daniel Sturridge and Fabio Borini, to give the Reds an awesome foursome strikeforce. The Anfield skipper said: You dont have to be a rocket scientist to know we still need another striker. You look at top teams in Europe and at Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, and they all have three or four top strikers.

But even in terms of yellow cards, this isnt a team that has suffered in that respect. Im not saying we have to have the devil in us because people will say Di Canio wants a killer in his team. But sometimes we are too clean. We need a bit more of an edge.

Warnock on attack
By TONY LITTLE

Warnock was in charge when Fernandes took control as chairman in August 2011 but lasted just four months before getting the sack. Fernandes claimed the lastminute trolley dash at the start of the 2011-12 season played a part in Rangers Prem struggles. But Warnock (right) hit back: We couldnt sign a player until August. We signed some of our firstchoices but a lot werent, like Anton Ferdinand.

NEIL WARNOCK has hit back at Tony Fernandes, insisting he is not to blame for QPRs demise.

Chelseas progress took Benitez back to the big time for the first time since his Liverpool team were beaten 2-1 by AC Milan in the Champions League final in Athens in 2007. Except last night in this corner of West London it appeared to be all about just one man. Yes, our old friend Jose Mourinho, the prince across the water. The man for whom cheers and chants once again rang out round Stamford Bridge. On Tuesday, Mourinho had seen his Real Madrid side go out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage for the third successive season. Immediately he talked of how he was hated in Spain but loved in England. And how one club in particular was closest to his heart. With the message booming out that Mourinho would return to Chelsea in the summer, so the present mixed with the past and the future at Stamford Bridge.

Just as Roberto Di Matteo took the acclaim last year, so Rafa Benitez should also have been soaking up the applause as Basel collapsed after half-time under intense Chelsea pressure.

CHELSEA reached their second European final in 12 months at Stamford Bridge last night.

SLIDE RULE . . . Torres nets Chelseas equaliser last night while Blues fans (inset) hail their Stamford Bridge heroes

you have got to accept when you lose 6-0 at home. There was a bit of blood-letting on Monday but Ive seen the reaction I wanted from the players. But some of the criticism of the French players is completely unfair. And Im particularly aggrieved about this word rift and talk that the French players are not accepted or are not accepting us. Its complete rubbish. Theyre quite a young group. Theyve been quite hurt by it. Defeat left the Magpies just one place above the drop zone

Pards, who returns to his old club West Ham tomorrow, added: If you think that a manager after the season weve had or a defeat like that is not worried about every aspect of his team and his staff then youre sadly mistaken. I worry about how many sugars Yohan Cabayes got in his tea, for goodness sake! Weve got three games left three cup finals. Our destiny is still in our own hands and its going to be difficult but we can do it.

Legend

The old banners he would have remembered from his days were still there. Some things, it appears, never change. Super Frankie Lampard and JT Captain, Leader, Legend except the legend himself had his backside parked firmly on the bench all night. And, more ominously, The Roman Empire which Mourinho knows only too well it is. There were just seven minutes and 57 seconds on the clock when the first chants of Jose Mourinho emerged from the Matthew Harding Stand to be immediately picked up by the old Shed End. It would go on for much of the game. At exactly the same time, Lampard hit the post from a Fernando Torres flick. But as the first half progressed, the Blues were far from having it all their own way against a Basel side who had travelled to London more in hope than expectation. The side that had played so thrillingly in the 2-2 draw with Spurs in the quarter-final had fallen off the pace quite dramatically since then. Outplayed by Chelsea in the first leg and lucky to get away with a 2-1 defeat, they had been beaten 3-0 at home by lowly Lucerne at the weekend. It was the first time Basel had failed to score at home in

four years. Yet last night the spring was back in their step and the impressive Marco Streller would have severely embarrassed Chelsea had his explosive 25th-minute volley not flashed just the wrong side of the far post. The Matthew Harding now comforted themselves with chants of Mourinhos Coming Home while anxiously waiting for the first killer goal rather than one from Basel that would level the tie and ruin an evening of celebration. And then, on the stroke of half-time, it happened Salah away through the Chelsea defence and a shot confidently curled round Cech. Here we go,

we thought. Except within five minutes of the restart Torres had levelled from close range after Basel keeper Yann Sommer failed to hold Lampards shot. Two minutes later Victor Moses went through for the second and the party had started.

Hailing

Seven minutes and the whole texture of the match had changed. If it had been a Mourinho side, we would have been hailing the managers halftime team talk. This, though, is Benitez. David Luiz, alongside Lampard in midfield, would then hammer in a classic third

which would have had Mourinho sliding down the touchline if he does that sort of thing these days. Suddenly it was 5-2 on aggregate and the first half was forgotten. So Chelsea and a vast army of fans head for Holland and a showdown with Benfica on May 15. A sizeable proportion will probably travel without tickets. Which begs one question: what on earth will they get up to over two or three nights in Amsterdam? I suppose they can always take a trip down a canal or go for a bike ride. steven.howard@the-sun.co.uk

Pea key to Ron

EXCLUSIVE by NEIL CUSTIS and DAN KING

HERNANDEZ . . . target

REAL MADRID will demand Javier Hernandez in any cash-plus-player deal for Cristiano Ronaldo. Manchester United had hoped to tempt the Spanish giants with an offer of 65million plus Nani. But Real want Little Pea Chicharito and are set to bid 25m even if a deal for Ronaldo fails. Qatari-backed Paris Saint-Germain have already bid 80m for Ronaldo the fee United sold him for in 2009. And Premier League champs United are one of the few clubs that could afford the 28-year-old megastar (right). Yesterday they reported record income of more than 92m for the first three months of 2013. And while vicechairman Ed Woodward insists there will be no overhaul of the squad, United are encouraged by Ronaldos preference for a return to Old Trafford if he does leave Real. Hernandez could clinch the deal but United boss Alex Ferguson wants to hold on to the Mexican. Fergie understands his strikers frustration after just seven league starts this season. But he said: There is no reason to think this is not the place for him. We hope he feels he has made a contribution. He has scored 16 goals and his enthusiasm to play is always there. Fergie is also linked with swoops for Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski and Atletico Madrids Radamel Falcao.

LAMPS WATCH

LAMPARD WAT WA ATC H WATCH

WELL, Frank Lampard lasted the full 90 minutes and saw Blues into the Europa League final so it has to be a yes. He is 35 in June but looks after himself and made a lively start. And Lamps had an impact throughout, grabbing an assist for David Luizs goal on the hour.

Is he fit enough for the top level?

From Back Page to show character and keep winning. We have to keep the momentum. Hopefully we can do it. United will be tough and Tottenham will be crucial for us. We know we have difficult games but we have confidence we have enough quality in the team so hopefully we can do well. The main thing is to enjoy today and be ready for the challenge of United and then Tottenham. We must take one game at a time and concentrate on the job in hand. We have another big game on Sunday. We just have to recover the players and be ready. Chelsea had far too much quality for Basel, despite Mohamed Salah levelling the tie at 2-2 in first-half injury time. But Torres converted a rebound five minutes after the break, Moses soon tapped in No 2 and Luiz curled in a corker. Benitez said: Im really pleased. Weve worked so hard during the year and now were in another final. The players deserve to be there. Its another good opportunity well have a chance for sure.

THERE is nothing Chelsea fans want more than to see their idol signing on for another year. He caused Basel real problems early on and even hit the post with 10 minutes gone. Rumours claim the club will offer him a deal but his agent says nothing has changed.

Hero Oscars the ace card

(Benfica win 3-2 on agg) OSCAR CARDOZOS double sent Benfica through to face Chelsea in the Europa League final. And it extended their astonishing run to 13 wins from the last 14 home games in the competition. One down from the first leg, the Portuguese hosts struck after nine minutes through Nicolas Gaitan. Fenerbahce were back in control 14 minutes later when Ezequiel Garay handled and Dirk Kuyt netted the spot-kick. But Cardozo made it 2-1 on 35 minutes and then added the decisive third in the second half. Benfica coach Jorge Jesus said: We knew after Istanbul we were the better team. They didnt create many problems.

HE has played a holding role ever since last year so had to curb his attacking instincts although that has not stopped him scoring. With Luiz alongside him in midfield last night he got forward more, but is still waiting on goal No 202. MARK IRWIN

Was he still an attacking threat?

Should Chelsea beat Benfica in Amsterdam on May 15, he will add the Europa League to his UEFA Cup success with Valencia in 2004 and his Champions League triumph for Liverpool a year later. The Spaniard also knows another trophy on his CV will not harm his chances of employment elsewhere. He will get no thanks from Blues supporters who are salivating at the prospect of Jose Mourinhos return. And he still has to get them into the top four so that Jose can have a crack at the Champions League. It would not do for the Special One to have to rough it in the Europa League, he is above all that. However

OF course he can. He reads the game as well as any player in England and was picking passes without even looking. He has had a new lease of life since accepting he can no longer start every game. There is at least one more year at the very top left in him.

Can he still play a key midfield role?

much Roman Abramovich chops and changes his managers, the club keep on reaching finals. This will be a 12th during the billionaire owners time at the helm if you include the Club World Cup and the European Super Cup. Stability? Who needs it? For the likes of John Terry, Ramires and Branislav Ivanovic the Dutch date will also represent some consolation for missing out on the Champions League triumph last year through suspension. In the end, it was easy for Chelsea

although there was concern when they were one down to the last kick of the first half by Mohamed Salah. That made the aggregate score 2-2 and the home side had a tenuous advantage on away goals. But two in two minutes early in the second half from Fernando Torres and Victor Moses changed everything and David Luiz put the icing on the cake with a 25-yard special for the third.

Pressure

Chelsea, playing their 64th game of a gruelling season, had been in the driving seat after the first leg. They had returned from Switzerland with a 2-1 lead thanks to Moses and an injury-time strike from Luiz. And, although Basel had shown they were capable of putting the Blues under pressure, they were long odds to turn the tie around. But the Swiss nearly scored in the

first minute when their captain Marco Streller was presented with a chance on the volley 16 yards out. The striker snatched at it, though, and dragged his shot wide much to Chelseas relief. Chants of Jose Mourinho were ringing round the ground and, as they did so, Frank Lampard thought he had equalled Bobby Tamblings alltime Chelsea scoring record of 202. Torres played a lovely ball over the top only for the veteran midfielder, 34, to hit a post. More songs followed for Champions League-winning Roberto Di Matteo and Torres, who was not one of the previous managers favourites. And the 50million Spanish striker duly fired in from the edge of the box only for Basel keeper Yann Sommer to make an excellent save. For Basel, Streller was unlucky with a peach of a volley on the far side of the box which whistled past the angle

Torres jinked left and his effort deflected off a defender and fell to Moses who gratefully finished. Luiz followed that with a quite brilliant left-foot curler into the top corner on 59 minutes, which gave Sommer no chance.

After that Basel just wanted the final whistle. Yes Fabian Frei did hit the bar and Cech saved from sub Marcelo Diaz, but they were merely looking for a consolation. Chelsea could have had more.

FORMER HearSay singer Danny Foster will have another pop at stardom on The Voice tomorrow.
Even though his former Popstars bandmates such as Kym Marsh and Myleene Klass have gone on to bigger things, Danny says hes not jealous of their fame.

On the eve of his blind audition on the BBC1 show, he said: I have never seen that they have done better than me. Their advertising deals and stuff like that is fair enough but musically I am still singing and that is what I got into Popstars for. I never went into it to be a model or an actor. I went in to be a singer. I wish them the best. Danny, who now fronts a soul group, wasnt keen to do other reality shows like Im A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! so was delighted when The Voice hit TV screens last year. He said: I didnt fancy eating kangaroo testicles in the jungle. Ive been waiting for a talent show that was based on singing. Initially he didnt tell his HearSay pals that he is auditioning for The Voice (tomorrow, 8pm). He said: They are all very supportive of me but nobody knew I was going to do it. I kept it secret because I thought people would probably try to talk me out of it. I

finally told Kym and she said she thought I was really brave. She wished me the best of luck. Danny says HearSay fans still badger him about when the group will return.

Reunion

He admitted hed love to do ITV2s The Big Reunion but that Kym, far right, is contracted to Coronation Street while Myleene, centre, has other telly and modelling commitments. Meanwhile fellow bandmate Suzanne Shaw, left, is doing an ice show while Noel Sullivan, second left, is touring theatres in Priscilla

Queen Of The Desert. Danny said: I spoke to the guys this week and we were chuckling about The Big Reunion. But everyone is doing their own thing the girls are very busy and have contracts. When The Big Reunion was on, people were asking whether HearSay were going to do it. It was brilliant TV but maybe it is best left to nostalgia. Dannys wont be the only big comeback on The Voice this weekend. Former Bucks Fizz singer Jay Aston is also auditioning. She won the Eurovision Song Contest with the band when they sang Making Your Mind Up in 1981.

His show bagged a record high of more than 2.5million viewers earlier this year but still lost its 8.30pm slot on BBC2 to the snooker. Don, left, let rip on Twitter, branding the BBC cheap. He urged viewers to

complain, saying: Write a letter to the Beeb saying what you want to see. Tweets are too easily ignored. On Wednesday the snooker, with stars such as Ronnie OSullivan, right, hit 2.2million. A BBC spokesman said: The transmission of sporting events is dependent on their dates, so it is necessary to move all types of programming.

DANNIELLA WESTBROOK says she spoke to GOD when off her head on coke. The former drug addict and EastEnders star, who hoovered up around 250,000 worth of the narcotic during years of abuse, said: Ive always believed in God, I just didnt know him. I used to speak to Him in my darkest moments. Even people who arent spiritually aware do this at their depths. She makes the revelation on Songs Of Praise and explains how faith helped her deal with fame. She said: Ive realised fame is the biggest addiction there is. It airs on BBC1 at 4pm on Sunday.

VW have have unveiled two new editions of their Volkswagen Up! city cars. Both the Groove Up! and Rock Up! come with a 1litre, 74bhp engine. The Groove Up! priced from 11,640 has a six-speaker Fender sound system. The Rock Up! costing from 12,980 has a full-length body stripe and 16in alloy wheels.

ITS the 65th anniversary of the start of Series 1 Land Rover production this week and to celebrate the firm have announced a special-edition Land Rover Defender LXV. Taking its name from 65 in Roman numerals, the Defender LXV will be limited to just 65 vehicles, and theyll all be based on the two-door Defender 90 Hard Top model. As with the standard Defender 90,

the LXV will be powered by a 2.2litre diesel engine. To make the LXV stand out, Land Rover have added 16in Sawtooth alloys, a Santorini Black paint job with contrasting Corris Grey roof, grille and headlight surrounds. Finishing the look is a union flag decal on the rear of the Defender. Prices start at 28,765. THE new Range Rover Sport has now been released with four trim levels and three engines and is on sale from 51,500. SE, HSE, HSE Dynamic and Autobiography Dynamic versions are all available from launch, each of which boasts high levels of equipment as standard.

FIRST DRIVE

MONDEO GRAPHITE
FEW mainstream cars have aged better than the Mondeo. Of its mainstream rivals, only the new Mazda 6 really outshines it in the style department. But the Mondeo is now six years old and thats elderly by car standards, where mainstream models are changed every five years. The Mondeo, though, has had a major mid-life face-lift. And Ford have consistently updated its engine technology. In fact, the 1.6litre diesel Graphite model is a cracker. I got just over 50mpg driving the car hard and Fords official figure is 65mpg. Driven with a light right foot, 60mpg would be realistic. With an engine thats part of a topnotch driving package, thats great news for a big family. The responsive steering, composed handling, smooth ride and sweet six-speed gearbox make the Mondeo the ideal drive, whether youre on a long motorway run or coping with city traffic. This is why the model is such a hit with company car drivers who spend hours behind the wheel, making the car rather like a second home. The other reason the Mondeo scores high is because of its low CO2 emissions. With 112 g/km, that reduces Benefit In Kind for 20 per cent tax payers to 539 and to 1,078 for 40 per cent tax payers. Additionally, road tax is free for the first year and just 30 a year after that, while the excellent fuel economy means you can get close to 1,000 miles on a full tank. The Mondeos virtues also include bags of room for five tall adults or parents with three kids, while the boot is a cavernous 528litres, increasing to 1,448 with the rear seats down putting it on a par with a big estate. Last, but by no means least, the Graphites price starts at a competitive 15,995, making it 2,000 cheaper than the previous entry Mondeo. But if you want to really pamper yourself, go for the Titanium X Business Edition at 21,995 thats 1,500 cheaper than the Titanium X it replaces and it has more equipment. So the good news is that the Mondeo remains a very good car and is now even better value. The bad news is that Americans are already driving an even better new version that wont be available here for more than a year.

current one. Ford have been forced to delay the stunning new version, below, until late next year due to their factory dispute. The Mondeo is built in the Belgian city of Genk but Ford want to shut that plant and move production to Spain. But that cant go ahead until Ford have completed formal consultations with the Belgian

government and trade unions, who are fighting the plan. They need to do this to comply with Belgian law, although the closure is certain to go ahead regardless. Ford are also in the middle of talks with union leaders in the UK over their decision to shut down the companys Transit works in Southampton and a components plant in Dagenham, Essex, this year. Again, there is strong resistance to the plans.

Mondeo Man should be driving an all-new model but, instead, is being offered two special-edition versions of the

Now the car he drives is caught up in motoring politics over Fords plans to close a Belgian factory.

Losses

The proposed closures in both Belgium and the UK are part of Fords plans to curb major losses in their European operation. They forecast 1.3billion losses for the full year, with those for the first quarter already up from 96million to 298million. Which is why the new Mondeo remains under wraps here, despite the fact this British/ European designed and engineered car has been on sale in America for nearly a year and will shortly be hitting showrooms in China. The new Mondeo is getting rave reviews

in America not surprisingly because it looks like an Aston Martin from the front and has German-style quality on the inside. But with the new car not due here until late next year, Ford have been forced to bring out two special-edition versions and revamp the current range to keep the Mondeo competitive until then. We tested one of the specials, the new entry-level Mondeo Graphite, to see how it performs and on the left is our verdict.

THE car remains the No1 status symbol for us Brits. Despite the recession, we still love to flash the cash on something to outglitz the neighbours in the driveway. Researchers at car-leasing website CentralContracts.com found that designer clothing labels, gadgets such as smartphones and fashion accessories such as sunglasses, shoes, blingy watches and jewellery are all regularly used as symbols of success in life. But our choice of car is by far the most important indicator of our status and is the single item most of us are willing to stretch our finances for.

Speaking at the UK unveiling of the coup version, the firms CEO Torsten Muller-Otvos said: The design lends itself to a drophead coup, and I think that will be the next variant. He also ruled out making an SUV Roller, adding: We have no plans to produce an SUV. The 235,000 coup will be displayed until tomorrow in a window of Harrods, London.

EXTRA COVER FOR ALL SEAT MODELS

SEAT have introduced an extended warranty package for all their models. Cover can now run to four years/75,000 miles or five years/90,000 miles instead of the standard three years/60,000 miles. An extended warranty for any Ibiza model costs 209 for one year or 359 for two years.

DODGY dealers are fleecing buyers of used cars for thousands by adjusting mileage readings DOWN to put the prices UP. This fraud has been going on for years but latest Office of Fair Trading figures suggest customers are overpaying 580million a year. It is estimated there are more than 70 mileage correction firms currently operating in the UK by exploiting a legal loophole. Maddy Roles of HPI, who check vehicle histories for buyers and the trade, explained: A clocked car otherwise known as illegitimately adjusting a vehicles mileage is not illegal. However, selling a car with-

out declaring its true mileage is illegal. Now experts at HPI, who carry out checks on ten million used cars a year, are spearheading a campaign to clamp down on clockers. They want buyers to sign an e-petition on the Governments DirectGov website to force a change in the law to ban the mileage correction firms. HPIs Nicola Johnson said: Clocking used cars costs buyers millions a year in inflated prices and most buyers do not realise how much money they stand to lose. Its almost impossible to tell a clocked vehicle just by looking at it, which makes a history check a vital form of protection. A clocked vehicle

could be hiding serious wear and tear. HPI have linked up with used car pricing experts CAP to highlight just how much extra cash punters are paying on popular vehicles. Someone who bought a VW Golf like the one on the left from a dealer who had clocked mileage back from 90,000 to 30,000 miles could pay 9,125 instead of 6,225.

RENAULT have released their Twizy FORMULA ONE concept. The French firm have unveiled a one-off motor racing-inspired version of their Twizy EV. The Twizy RenaultSport F1, above, uses the same big, slick tyres as single-seat race cars and features a carbon-fibre body kit with a huge rear-wing and aero front splitter. But hidden behind the driver, Renault have fitted the same Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) as the current crop of F1 cars. That means the same 6.1-second 0-62mph time as the Megane 265, while the top speed is up to 68mph.

Stolen

A Ford Focus with 90,000 miles would be valued at about 4,150. But clocked down to 30,000 that would rise to 6,075. A 2009-reg Vauxhall Insignia with 90,000 miles would be priced at

5,650, but on 30,000 miles that would rise to 8,250. While a 2007 to 2010-reg Ford Mondeo would go from 4,550 to 6,650 with the mileage clocked. The damage is worse with 4x4s. A 2009-reg Land Rover Discovery diesel, right, that would be 21,350 with 90,000 miles shoots up to 29,150 with 30,000 miles. An HPI check also finds out if a vehicle has outstanding finance or is recorded as stolen and confirms its identity, including make, colour and engine size. The price starts from 19.99. l For HPI check details, and how to sign the petition to stop clockers, see hpicheck.com.

Can they now re-invent the supermini urban crossover with the 2008? Its a tough job considering the new glut of competition, especially as their chief rival, the Renault Captur, arrives at the same time and is more colourful, attractive and cheaper by 500. But the 2008 has a few tricks up its wheel arches to outwit all of its cheeky competitors. The swept-back headlights and bold chrome grille are obviously inspired by the 208 supermini with which the 2008 shares its platform while at the rear it gets a set of claw-shaped LED lights. A few bespoke touches mark the 2008 as more of a rugged SUV, such as the underbody protection, raised ride height and roof rails. I think the front has a more elegant, grown-up look than any of its quirkier opponents. However, go past the front and it all goes pear-shaped literally. The sides and back are far too podgy and bulky a face of French beauty and a rear like Dawn French. Inside, the differences between this car and the 208 are very little. Soft-touch plastics, satin chrome and classy gloss black inserts all add up to a quality feel thats more impressive than Nissans Juke. Allure models and above have a laser-engraved light signature that looks like claw marks in the ceiling, although this can be replaced by a huge panoramic sunroof for a price both options look really smart.

model, which is expected to be the biggest seller, and 1.6 VTi petrol. Theres also a 1.4 diesel. The 1.6 diesel is extremely refined and barely ever sounds gruff. Its actually quite a lot quieter under acceleration and on the motorway than the 1.6 petrol. with the 208, all of the 2008s controls are just as lightly weighted. The ride feels ever so slightly smoother, although theres still a hint of firmness around town. In terms of off-roading, the Allure and Feline models get grippier allyear tyres and a grip control system that provides better traction on slippery surfaces. I drove the 2008 on a tricky offroad circuit and it proved it will cope with the worst a British winter will throw at it. Prices start at 12,995, which is only 800 more than the 208. But that buys air con, central locking, front electric windows, front and rear LED lights and cruise control. The 1.6 diesel has the pick of the performance and Allure is the trim level wed go for with grip control and glitzy, classy LED lighting throughout the cabin. However that does hike the price up to 17,500.

BEST FEATURES: Panoramic sunroof, grip control

ROAD TEST RENAULT CAPTUR

RENAULT are late to the supermini MPV party but they are fashionably late.
They have the advantage of cousins Nissan starting the craze with the Juke four years ago. Renault have taken that DNA and added a bit of French chic. Designed under the supervision of styling boss Laurens van den Acker, the Captur is remarkably close to the outrageous concept version I drove two years ago. The Juke has been a massive winner but it does divide opinion the Captur wont. Its built on the platform that underpins Renaults Clio and the Juke. The Captur is slightly longer than the Clio at 4.12m and sits a little taller to give drivers the more elevated seating position of an SUV, with 200mm ground clearance. First impressions are brilliant. Its far more eye-catching than its rivals. It doesnt have the eccentric cartoon character looks of the Juke but it has a chirpy, smiley face. The grille is even shaped that way. Personalisation is an important part of the Capturs appeal, with two-tone colour schemes offered along with various exterior graphic packs and interior trim options more than any other in this sector.

Oomph

It feels better behind the wheel too, with a lot more oomph than the petrol despite the petrol being officially quicker from 0-62mph. The diesel is timed at 10.4 seconds, while the 1.6 petrol manages 9.5 seconds. And theres all the more reason to go for diesel over petrol because of this engines great running costs. The diesel delivers an economy figure of 70mpg with CO2 emissions of 198g/km so low because the 2008 weighs little more than a tonne and is front-wheel drive only. As

PRICES FROM: 12,495 to 18,895 BEST ECONOMY: 75mpg, CO2 95g/km (1.5litre, 90bhp diesel) BEST FEATURES: Personalisation, removable and washable seat covers

Blitz

All the test cars had the optional duo-tone roof and body (a 300 option), which makes the car stand out even more, especially with the trim gloss pack fitted around the fog lights, sills and grille. Looking around the colour options is like stumbling into Jonathan Rosss wardrobe theres a blitz of dazzling outfits. Some car firms try

The Captur wins the clash of crossovers but only by the width of a croissant. The Renaults cool colour schemes and funky look just outglam the 2008. However, because of their low prices, both will give the Juke a run for its money.

to be different by making their interiors look like a riot in a Dulux factory Renault have resisted that. The cabin is fairly minimalistic but theres nice use of body colour, roof design and piano black to brighten it up subtlely. The rear bench seat slides forwards or backwards by up to 160mm to extend boot capacity or leg room. Boot space ranges from 377 to 455 litres with the bench fully forward. With rear seats folded that rises to 1,235 litres of space. The most interesting innovation is zipped removable and washable seat covers certainly a good idea when you have kids under 12, like I do. Renault have also thought about durability in their dual-height boot, which has a reversible floor, one side carpeted, the other rubber ideal for messy trips to the dump. The Captur will come with three engine options, including a 1.2litre petrol with either 90 or 120bhp. Theres also a 900cc petrol and an ultra-economical 1.5litre, 90bhp diesel with CO2 emissions of just 95g/km and a potential of over 75mpg with 0-62mph in 12.6 seconds and a 106mph top speed. The good news is that its an undemanding drive whatever the power. Theres a decent amount of kit too and all versions have keyless entry, hill start assist, Bluetooth, USB connectivity and parking sensors. The Captur goes on sale this week and prices start at 12,495 for the petrol and 13,895 for the ultra eco diesel, which is my pick. Renault might just have got the name spot-on for their aim game. With so many options, I reckon this crossover really will Captur the imagination of buyers.

HE bank holiday weekend is the perfect time to do some DIY.

But dont just dive in plan exactly what you are going to do and how you will achieve it. Here, DECLAN CURRAN, founder of property maintenance company HomeFix Direct, offers his tips. Declan said: All too often DIYers especially men! want to steam straight in and get stuck into the juicy bits of a job. But unless youre looking to waste time, then stopping and thinking about it in detail rst, and coming up with a proper plan of attack, will denitely help you out later. Because no matter how much you might be looking forward to knocking that wall down or tearing that hideous old wallpaper off, after a few hours youll be getting bored and looking for an excuse to do something else. Its at this point, when enthusiasm is running low, that youll be glad you spent a little time on the planning stage. Thats because all the tricky decisions will have been taken and all you have to do now is follow the steps you wrote down before. BUDGET Planning and budgeting go hand in hand, so work out how much you want to spend, and what you want to spend it on, before you start. This will give you a roadmap to follow later that will ensure you dont blow your budget. START A SCRAPBOOK Will oak ooring look better than beech? Will grey walls work better than magnolia? Will an exposed brick wall look better than tiles? The best way to decide is to collect some pictures of each example to compare. It couldnt be easier these days with the likes of Pinterest and Instagram. Forget glue and scissors, just search, click and collect as many pics as you like of the sort of nish you want.

unusable during certain stages, whether youll need to hire or buy any kit and so on. Getting all of this worked out now means youll be better able to gure out what order to start and nish everything and when youll need trips to the stores. TIME IT Dont be another statistic whose shelves are hanging off lopsidedly or whose grouting never quite got nished. All too many projects around the home run out of steam because people misjudge how much time they are willing or able to devote to the job. Instead, work out exactly how much time will be needed and dont be tricked into underestimating. In fact be generous, because nothing is more demoralising than planning three hours for something and then wondering why youre still only half way done ve hours later. With that in mind, Id say give yourself a good couple of days to repaint a room properly, more if youre laying ooring or doing tiling grouting can take an age to get right. Its always better to be realistic than to kid yourself, and nd that things are dragging on far longer than you realised.

ENJOY THE BANK HOLIDIY

ORGANISE Invest some time into learning about what youre going to be doing and organise yourself appropriately. For example, if youre painting a room, chances are youll need to do a lot of preparation beforehand, like removing everything from the walls, covering the oors, washing down surfaces, clearing away furniture, lling and sanding and so on. All this takes time and can be the most tiresome part of the job. Make sure you factor it all in, as theres nothing worse than feeling ready to go, then realising youve got a load of prep to do rst. Then think carefully about what the various bits of your job will entail and also in what order youll be doing them. For instance, when revamping a bathroom, tackle the tiling rst, as its always the messiest job. Then do the painting and last of all the ooring, so you dont spill anything on it during the rest of the works. Consider when youll need to get each of the materials, how much of each youll require, whether the bathroom will be

Use a hammer drill and masonry bit to drill holes that suit the wall plugs youre using. On brick or concrete block use heavy-duty plastic wall plugs and wood screws, but on stud walls with skimmed plasterboard, its always best to screw straight into the wooden studs. Insert the plugs and screw the brackets to the wall. 8. Finally, screw your shelf to the brackets so they do not tip.

With so much choice on offer, deciding on paint and wallpaper can be paralysing. And its not just about picking colours you also need to choose the right stuff for the space youre covering. People get so overwhelmed and go for magnolia and nobody makes the most of the choice available, said DIY expert Jo Behari, founder of property maintenance company Home Jane. Jo also debunks the mystery of gloss, satin and eggshell nishes by explaining theyre levels of shine. She recommends using tester pots on long lengths of lining paper, then sticking them on different parts of the wall to see how it looks in the light. As a rule of thumb, use matt or silk emulsion for walls. Silk has a slight shine to it, which is great for reecting light in a dark room. Darker colours or bold patterned wallpapers are best saved for big rooms, or limited space like a wall, alcove or a chimney breast. And forget about splashing out on kitchenspecic paints just use a good vinyl silk paint. Its higher-levels of plastic make it more washable. Jo said: You just want a good nish. In most decorating jobs, it doesnt matter what paint you use, it matters how youve prepped your area. Jo recommends buying the highest-quality products you can afford. Thin wallpaper tears easily and you need to use more of a poor-quality paint to cover walls.

NCE you get going, decorating is hugely rewarding its getting started thats the headache.

SECRET TO GREAT DECORATING IS PREPARATION

IMPORTANT

But the most important thing is good prep work, which leads to a high-quality long-lasting nish. Skimp on it and your paint is likely to chip, or your paper look ragged. Jo added: If youve got a dented wall, its best to line it before painting or papering. Get a high-grade lining paper to make thin paper look better. Similarly, invest in good brushes. They dont have to cost the earth, but cheap brushes and rollers will leave bristles or lint on your paintwork. Squeeze the bristles on a good brush and it will be a uniform length. And with oil-based paints being phased out by 2018, water-based colours are more available. They require undercoat and primer, particularly on wood, so the topcoat has a good base to adhere to. But what if you paint your wall and dont like it? All is not lost. Jo said: Youll know immediately if your colour is wrong, but because youve done the prep work you can just put another coat on the walls and solve the problem. If youre splashing out on wallpaper, pay a professional to hang it. Cheap wallpaper paste though, is ne. But Jo recommends always buying more wallpaper than you need (retailers will take back unopened rolls) and make sure its all from the same batch. Sharp scissors are a must too, as the wallpaper goes gooey with paste. Jo said: The more money you invest in good quality paint and equipment, the better you will do and the more likely it is to be successful.

Dont Injure Yourself...

WHETHER your mums a thrill-seeker or prefers the quiet life, there are fun family days out across Britain this Sunday to suit all pockets.
EVERY year in the UK about 220,000 Brits will end up in A&E after a DIY mishap. Thats 600 a day and almost one every TWO minutes, according to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) and most of these accidents are entirely avoidable. So here are ten top tips to hammer home the safety message: 1. Be realistic. If you have a rickety ladder and vertigo, patching the roof guttering may be overly ambitious. 2. More haste less speed. Plan what youre going to do before starting so you have the right tools for the job. 3. Be wary of gas and electricity. Always make sure an appliance is fully disconnected before starting work and get a qualied person to carry out renewals or repairs. Check your gas tter is registered at gassaferegister.co.uk.

4. Never work with children or animals. Make sure all dangerous tools and substances are kept out of reach of little ones, whether on two legs or four. 5. Follow warning labels. With items such as Super Glue, the clue is in the name. 6. Dont mix and match. Keep all products in their original containers. Lemonade bottles are not a natural home for bathroom bleach. 7. Keep tools in good working order. Ladders and stepladders with a rung missing send 41,000 people to hospital annually 8. Seek protection. Always wear the right clothes for the job and dont mow the lawn in your ip-ops. 9. Dry your hands. It takes two minutes and lessens the chance of any slip-ups or electrocution. 10. Tie up long hair. Keep the owing locks out of the way not entwined in the cars fan belt.
