Charged quote PM pledges to keep PC Andrew Harper's killers in prison
That's only a few hundred inmates, amongst them Cole and Bowers. Do you believe the Prime Minister, when he says he's confident these guys, will be kept inside longer? Everybody involved in this, especially the family, are in emotional turmoil with these changes. So as much as I want to be supportive, and I am supportive of the change that he is trying to make,

Charged quote Trump switches planes over assassination threat
Everything Yogurt from Ocado, the online supermarket. Hello and welcome back. Details have emerged tonight of an extraordinary secret operation to protect President Donald Trump as he travelled home from a summit last month.

involved his Air Force One jet, a smaller military plane and a catering truck. John Ray has the story. It is a strange story of the world's most powerful man, three presidential planes and a top secret mission to foil an attempt on his life. After last month's NATO summit in Turkey, Donald Trump left in an old version of Air Force One

and rather than turn to the executive suite, stepped instead off a side door and into a catering van. There, the commander in chief, perhaps hidden amid the ready meals and away from the cameras, was driven off to a second US military plane. All, according to US reports, to evade what's called a credible Iranian threat.

Charged quote Trump switches planes over assassination threat
Well, I have a threat all the time. I'm number one on the list, before you. But if I go, you go. But this suggests the old Air Force One, which flew from Turkey to the UK with White House officials and journalists on board, was used as a decoy. An awkward thought and a question for the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, to ignore.

It's something the owner of this shop would support. He's been here ten years.

If you were starting now, would you open a high street shop? No. Businesses like ours could seriously do with the rights reduction. That would help immensely. Being ignored as a small business, to me, is just unfair. The government's pledged to reform business rates, but in an age of online retail, getting rid of what people don't want
