Gary Tweddle: Body Recovered In Oz Bushland

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 03 September 2013 | 18.26

Police believe a body that has been recovered from Australian bushland may be that of a British man who went missing seven weeks ago.

Gary Tweddle, 23, has not been seen since he disappeared after a work dinner during a conference in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney.

Police said a body thought to be Mr Tweddle was spotted by an ambulance rescue helicopter during a training exercise near Leura on Monday.

Police abseiled about 25m down a cliff face to the site on Tuesday, and the body was winched to the top of the cliff about 4pm local time (7am BST).

Superintendent Darryl Jobson said that the man was similar in appearance to Mr Tweddle, but it could take a number of days to formally identify the body.

"What we need to do is go through our formal identification processes to make sure we identify the right male and making sure that we're notifying the right next of kin," he said.

Gary Tweddle Mr Tweddle is originally from Reading

"At an appropriate time we'll be able to convey to you to the identity of the male."

He said police will examine the area where the body was found, which will help determine the cause of death.

"It would appear to be misadventure but we're not ruling anything out," he said.

Joanne Elliott, a spokeswoman for Blue Mountains Local Area Command, said the "extremely rough terrain" meant police rescue officers were not able to retrieve the body on Monday.

"The location couldn't be accessed on foot and the crew lost all light in the mountains so we're unable to get down to the ground," she said.

Mr Tweddle, who had emigrated to Australia, was last heard from when he rang colleagues also staying at the Fairmont Resort in Leura in the early hours of July 17 to say he was lost in the bushland.

As the recovery operation started, Mr Tweddle's girlfriend told friends and family that "the sun is beginning to rise on a day that we have all been hoping would never come".

Anika Haigh wrote on her Facebook page: "A body has been found in the area of Gary's disappearance and today it will be retrieved and identified.

"Please know that nothing has been confirmed at this stage but I hope in a few hours we will have an answer either way.

"One thing I know for certain is that Gary will... come home one day - his fight, determination & 'never give up' attitude that we all loved so much about him will guide him."

She added that it was time for him "to come home where you belong".

The disappearance of Mr Tweddle, a computer salesman originally from Reading, sparked the biggest search ever conducted in the Blue Mountains.

His father David flew out to Australia from his home in Berkshire to help with the search effort before he returned to the UK last month.

Mr Tweddle's mother Carol Streatfield, who also lives in Australia, had also flown to the Blue Mountains to join the search for her son.

She said the phone call from Ms Haigh telling her that her son was missing was the first step in the most "heart-breaking journey" of her life.

In a statement issued by the Foreign Office last month, she said: "On the mountain my days were filled with sirens, noise, searching, tireless walking and door knocking. I repeatedly followed the track I believed he had taken in the hopes of finding a clue.

"Every pole and tree were covered with his beautiful face, however it was on a piece of A4 paper with a 'missing' heading.

"At one point I was so exhausted I found a bench to sit on in the middle of a bush track, and as I sat down and there to the left of me was Gary's photo.

"It was a small comfort as I stroked his face, kissed him and told him how much I loved him and that I will never give up trying to find him, ever."

Corrie Le Vell's Alleged Victim 'Lied To Police'

Michael Le Vell's defence lawyer has accused the actor's alleged child rape victim of telling "a little lie" in her evidence to police.

The teenage girl is being cross-examined by the Coronation Street star's barrister, Alisdair Williamson, in Manchester Crown Court.

On Monday, the girl told the court that the actor raped her when she was six years old as she clutched her teddy bear.

She told the court today that the actor smelt strongly of alcohol during the alleged attack.

Le Vell, 48, who plays car mechanic Kevin Webster in the ITV soap, denies the claims.

Mr Williamson also questioned alleged inconsistencies in what the girl - who cannot be identified for legal reasons - told police.

Michael Le Vell court case Le Vell, at court today, plays car mechanic Kevin Webster in the soap

The barrister suggested when the girl was interviewed on video by police she said some "silly things" that she has left out of her account given in court.

Mr Williamson told the court the witness had initially told police she had never talked to anyone about the alleged abuse.

But the lawyer claimed the witness "told lots of girls" about it.

"I told two friends because they saw me crying," the witness replied.

But when police were called in the witness told the officer she had not told anyone, the court heard.

Mr Williamson continued: "The officer came to see you because ... you told people and you told the officer a little lie.

"You told him you had not told the girls, they had just guessed.

"I suggest that was a little lie?"

"No," the witness replied.

Mr Williamson said in police interviews the girl claimed to remember the exact times when alleged rapes took place - and she claimed two of the rapes happened at exactly the same time.

Mr Williamson continued: "Was it a detail you were putting in to make you more convincing and you now realise it sounds a bit silly?"

"No," she replied.

"It didn't happen," Mr Williamson said.

"It did," the witness replied.

She also told the court that Le Vell took her to an award show and arranged visit to Coronation Street after he raped her.

She cried as she told the court : "I hated him because what he did was so wrong and I was so young and I did not know at the time."

As the girl gave evidence behind a curtain, Le Vell repeatedly shook his head.

She had the option to give evidence by video-link, but she said: "I wanted to come into court to tell my truth."

Le Vell is facing 12 charges in all - five counts of rape, three of indecent assault, two counts of sexual activity with a child, and two of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.

The alleged offences relate to one complainant and are said to have taken place between 2001 and September 2010.

The girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was aged between six and 14.

After his arrest Le Vell told officers the allegations were a "pack of absolute lies" and he has maintained his innocence throughout.

Le Vell, who lives in Hale, Cheshire, is one of TV's most famous faces after playing Kevin Webster for the past 30 years.

Israel Fires Missiles In Mediterranean Test

Israel has said it carried out a missile test in the Mediterranean, after Russian radar detected two ballistic "objects".

Israel's defence ministry said it had tested a single 'Ankor' target missile, which it said formed part of a US-funded anti-missile system.

Two missiles were fired towards the eastern Mediterranean from the central part of the sea, Russia's defence ministry reportedly said.

Interfax news agency quoted a ministry spokesman as saying the launch was detected at 10.16 am Moscow time (7.16am UK time) by an early warning radar station at Armavir, near the Black Sea, which is designed to detect missiles from Europe and Iran.

Sky News' Foreign Affairs Editor Tim Marshall said: "This is Israel saying 'we can defend ourselves'. They do these tests frequently but they would have chosen today as a reminder (to Israel's enemies)."

Despite reports that Israel had claimed the launch was a joint test with America, a US Navy spokesman said no missiles had been fired from any of its ships in the Mediterranean.

The Russian Embassy in Syria said there were no signs of a missile attack or explosions in the capital, Damascus. 

Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu had informed President Vladimir Putin of the launch, according to Interfax.

"The trajectory of these objects goes from the central part of the Mediterranean Sea toward the eastern part of the Mediterranean coast," Interfax quoted the spokesman as saying.

Russia opposes any outside military intervention in the Syrian civil war and a ministry official had earlier criticised the United States for deploying warships in the Mediterranean close to Syria.

An Israeli military spokeswoman had previously said she was not aware of any missile launch in the eastern Mediterranean.

Washington is currently assessing whether to order sea-launched strikes against Syria, with President Barack Obama keen to convince Congress of the need to intervene.

Senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham, who are both campaigning for action, met the President to discuss operations.

Mr Graham said: "It is all in the details, but I left the meeting feeling better than I felt before about what happens the day after and that the purpose of the attack is going to be a little more robust than I thought."

And Mr McCain said in an interview that Mr Obama did not reveal what weapons might be provided to the opposition in Syria or discuss in what targets might be attacked.

"There was no concrete agreement, 'OK, we got a deal,'" Mr McCain said.

"Like a lot of things, the devil is in the details."

It came as Foreign Secretary William Hague answered questions on the Syria crisis in Parliament.

BA Pilot Simon Wood 'Abused' African Orphans

A British Airways pilot is alleged to have used his position to sexually abuse scores of children in African schools and orphanages.

First Officer Simon Wood, 54, was due to appear in court last Friday on separate child abuse cases in the UK, but was found dead on August 18 after being hit by a train.

Allegations of further abuse abroad emerged after the BA received an anonymous letter in July.

The pilot is alleged to have molested youngsters during stopovers in Kenya under the guise of charity work for the airline.

BA contacted Scotland Yard after the airline's own investigation into a trip to Kenya by Wood revealed "cause for concern".

"We would be absolutely appalled if it transpired that an employee of ours had been cynically using this charitable work as a cover for exploitation of children he was trusted to help," BA said in a statement.

The airline now faces legal action from lawyers representing the alleged victims in Kenya.

Martyn Day, from legal firm Leigh Day, said investigations made it "horrifically clear" that Wood had access to "hundreds of vulnerable children" over many years.

The firm is investigating how Wood was given access to the Kenyan children, as well as the extent of his alleged abuse in the UK, which it claims is much higher.

A British Airways plane flies intoHeathrow Airport in west London British Airways says it is "appalled" by the allegations

"It is believed the number of those who may have been abused may be far greater both in Kenya and the UK," the firm said.

Wood, from Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, faced charges in the UK of indecent assault of a girl under 16, making indecent photographs of a child and possessing indecent images of a child, according to Scotland Yard.

He visited Kenya in Easter 2002, along with 20 other BA crew members, and spent the holiday period with children from orphanages.

Wood told the Press Association, who covered the trip at the time: "We play, sing, organise activities and generally entertain them. We become very close to the children."

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We continue to pursue a number of inquiries. However, the police response will now be proportionate given Mr Wood's death."

An inquest into Wood's death was opened and adjourned at Hertfordshire Coroner's Court last Wednesday.

Syria: Russia Warns US Against Military Strike

Russia has warned that a peace conference to end the conflict in Syria could be put off "forever" if the US goes ahead with military action against the regime.

Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov warned that the planned discussions in Geneva would be disrupted by a US strike.

"If the action announced by the US President - to the great regret of all of us - does in fact take place ... it will put off the chances of (holding) this conference for a long time, if not forever."

As tension mounts between Moscow and Washington over the situation, Russia has sent a spy ship to the eastern Mediterranean.

According to Russian news agency Interfax, the ship left a naval base in the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Sevastopol late on Sunday on a mission "to gather current information in the area of the escalating conflict".

Any military action hinges on whether President Bashar al Assad's regime was responsible for a chemical weapons attack in Syria last month in which 1,429 people - including at least 426 children - died.

Syria Crisis President Obama is asking Congress to back military action

France says it has new evidence that the Government was responsible, and will hand it over to lawmakers later.

Washington has already announced that hair and blood samples prove the regime has used sarin gas to attack civilians.

Secretary of State John Kerry has used interviews with several US news channels to suggest the case for military strikes is growing, adding that he is confident Congress will back military action when it is put to a vote next week.

In Britain there have been calls for David Cameron to consider a second parliamentary vote on military action in Syria.

Mayor of London Boris Johnson has become the latest senior politician to suggest a new bid for parliamentary support could be made.

Mr Johnson said the use of chemical weapons for mass murder in Syria could not go unpunished.

Arab League The Arab League has called for "deterrent action"

"If there is new and better evidence that inculpates Assad, I see no reason why the Government should not lay a new motion before Parliament, inviting British participation - and then it is Ed Miliband, not David Cameron, who will face embarrassment," Mr Johnson wrote in The Telegraph.

Mr Cameron ruled out the use of British force in Syria following a defeat in the Commons.

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has also said he could not foresee any circumstances in which the Government would return to Parliament on the same issue.

"We're not going to keep asking the same question of Parliament again and again. We live in a democracy, the executive cannot act in a way which clearly is not welcome to Parliament or the British people, so we're not proposing to do so."

Arab League ministers have urged the United Nations and the international community to take "deterrent" action, while blaming the regime for the alleged chemical weapons assault.

However a defiant Mr Assad told state TV his country is capable of confronting any attack.

"The American threats of launching an attack against Syria will not discourage Syria away from its principles ... or its fight against terrorism supported by some regional and Western countries, first and foremost the United States of America," he said.

As the diplomatic wrangling continues, British MPs have called for answers from the Government over a chemicals trade deal with Syria signed months after the bloodshed started.

The Department for Business issued licences for the export of sodium fluoride and potassium fluoride to the war-torn country in January last year before revoking them several months later.

The chemicals are capable of being used to make nerve gas such as sarin as well as having a variety of industrial uses.

The Government said no chemicals were exported before the licence was revoked in June 2012 following EU sanctions but MPs said they intend to raise the issue at Westminster.

The UN has announced that some seven million people have been displaced by the ongoing civil war.

Syria: Hague Rules Out British Military Action

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 01 September 2013 | 18.25

William Hague has ruled out British military involvement in Syria and brands Labour "opportunistic" for opposing action.

Speaking on Sky News' Murnaghan programme the Foreign Secretary said "Parliament has spoken" and that it would be unrealistic to launch more attempts to persuade MPs to support military force.

But Mr Hague said if another vote was held then Labour would have to "play a less partisan and less opportunistic role and be prepared to take yes for an answer in terms of the motions that we present to the House of Commons".

He said he thinks the opposition party has "some hard thinking to do" in relation to their approach.

"There is some serious concern in other capitals, not just across the Atlantic but in European capitals as well, about the position they (Labour) have taken in voting down a government motion (on Syria)," he said.

Mr Hague said they "must dust ourselves down from that defeat" and support other nations.

President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden discuss the situation in Syria Mr Obama and Joe Biden discuss Syria

But he denied that the country's entire foreign policy in regard to Syria had been rejected in Thursday's vote and pledged to continue to support the country with humanitarian aid and work with allies.

On Saturday US President Barack Obama confirmed that he believes in the use of force following the alleged use of chemical weapons by President Bashar al Assad.

He has formally requested authorisation from Congress before any action begins which means there will be no strikes before members will return on September 9.

Mr Hague insisted relations between the US and the UK remain strong and said Britain will provide diplomatic and political support.

He said: "The United States are clear that the special relationship remains.

"They have been very good about the result of our vote and understand that we respect democratic procedures in our country and so equally we must respect theirs.

"We are not going to get involved in their congressional debate.

"But, we do believe this threat has to be confronted and if it is not confronted now the confrontation in the end will only be bigger."

The French interior minister Manuel Valls told a radio station on Sunday that France cannot act alone against Syria and will await the US decision.

The Syrian main opposition bloc said it was "disappointed" with Mr Obama's decision to wait for Congress but said it believed lawmakers would approve a strike.

Nelson Mandela Discharged From Hospital

Former South African president Nelson Mandela has been discharged from hospital in Pretoria where he has been treated for nearly three months.

"Madiba's condition remains critical and is at times unstable," the presidency said, referring to the 95-year-old by his clan name.

Mr Mandela was admitted on June 8 with a recurring lung infection and had previously been in a critical but stable condition, according to the office of President Jacob Zuma.

The government statement added: "His home has been reconfigured to allow him to receive intensive care there.

Mandela A convoy of medical vehicles arrive at Mandela's home

"The health care personnel providing care at his home are the very same who provided care to him in hospital.

"If there are health conditions that warrant another admission to hospital in future, this will be done."

Mr Zuma's office said the elderly statesman has been treated by "a large medical team from the military, academia, private sector and other public health spheres".

Sky's Alex Crawford said: "He's a few days short of being in intensive care in that hospital in Pretoria for three months… I think many of his close family and friends wanted him home if it was at all possible."

The presidency requested that Mr Mandela and his family be given "the necessary private space so that his continuing care can proceed with dignity and without unnecessary intrusion".

The confirmation of Mr Mandela's release to his home in Johannesburg's Houghton suburb follows reports that he had been discharged on Saturday.

Mr Mandela spent nearly three decades in prison before being released and being elected South Africa's first black president in multi-racial elections in 1994 that ended apartheid rule.

Sir David Frost Dies Of Heart Attack On Ship

Sir David Frost: Obituary - 1939-2013

Updated: 12:09pm UK, Sunday 01 September 2013

Sir David Frost - who probably interviewed more world figures from royalty, politics, the Church, show-business and virtually everywhere else, than any other living broadcaster - was the most illustrious TV inquisitor of his generation.

He not only won virtually all the major television awards available, but his professional activities were so diverse that he was once described as "a one-man conglomerate".

Sir David was regularly scoffed at by fellow broadcasters for his allegedly non-aggressive style of questioning.

But he invariably had the last laugh because he almost always extracted more intriguing information and revealing reactions from his subjects than other far more acerbic broadcasters who boasted about their hard-hitting treatment of their "victims".

He was as affable and effusive off-screen as he was on it. And his cheery trademark introduction, "Hello, good morning and welcome" to his long running BBC1 Sunday programme Breakfast With Frost set the amiable tone for what was to follow.

His interview with the doomed American President "Tricky Dicky" Richard Nixon was a TV classic. During it, Nixon dramatically admitted that he had "let down the country".

But there were many other historic moments, including one when he suddenly introduced the word "bonkers" during a tense interview with the then prime minister Margaret Thatcher over the sinking of the Argentine warship the Belgrano during the Falklands conflict. She was furious.

Sir David first came to notice nationally with the Saturday night TV satirical programme That Was The Week That Was, which he hosted and co-created in the early 1960s. By today's standards of merciless lampooning, it would appear tame.

But in those days, it cocked a snook at the Establishment and pomposity in a way that had never been tried on the broadcasting media before.

It shocked authority, and was a programme not to be missed by those who were its victims as much as by those who enjoyed seeing the great and the good so savagely ridiculed.

But it "made" Sir David who was then seen as a coruscating rebel, although quite a likeable one, and who was to develop, ironically, as an Establishment figure in his own right.

David Paradine Frost was born on April 7, 1939, the son of a Methodist preacher, at Tenterden, Kent. He was educated at Gillingham Grammar School, Wellingborough Grammar School and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.

At Cambridge he joined Footlights, the renowned revue and cabaret society. He then started to do some TV for the regional station in Norwich, particularly a programme called Town and Gown which was about Cambridge.

For the Christmas edition of that programme in December 1959, the programme-makers decided they wanted a spoof of TV and they approached Footlights and asked Sir David and the comedian Peter Cook to write it.

Later Sir David said: "We went to the station to do it, and I walked into this rather odd environment of a television studio and I thought 'This is home. This is for me'. It was an instant feeling, and from that moment on, for me the decision was made. It was a very memorable day."

After the enormous success of That Was The Week That Was, Sir David set up his own company David Paradine Ltd which gave birth to many more hugely popular programmes, including A Gift of Song, Spitting Image, Through the Keyhole, Peeping Times, How to Irritate People and The Spectacular World of Guinness Records.

Sir David was instrumental in starting up two important TV franchises: LWT in 1967, and as one of the Famous Five who launched TV-am in February 1983. In July, 1969, during the British television Apollo 11 coverage, he presented David Frost's Moon Party for LWT, a 10-hour discussion and entertainment marathon.

His dramatic interview with Richard Nixon was at the time the most widely watched news interview in the history of TV. It was shown in almost every televised nation in the world, and garnered the largest audience ever achieved for such an interview in the United States.

It was later dramatised into a sell-out West End play, and more recently a Hollywood movie.

It was a brilliant scoop. Sir David, whose career at that stage appeared to be on the decline, poured some of his own wealth into this interview. It was a gamble, but it totally restored his fortunes - and there was no looking back after that.

Another of his programmes, The Frost Report, effectively launched John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett on their subsequent glittering careers.

Sir David's list of interviewees reads like a roll call of the world's most famous and powerful people. They include virtually every US president and British prime minister during his working life.

Others included Prince Charles, the Duke and Duchess of York, the Princess Royal, Robert F Kennedy, Henry Kissinger, Pierre Trudeau, Mikhail Gorbachev, Indira Gandhi, Benazir Bhutto, King Hussein, Golda Meir, Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin, Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk, and countless more.

He was the only person to have interviewed all six British prime ministers serving between 1964 and 2007 (Harold Wilson, Edward Heath, James Callaghan, Margaret Thatcher, John Major and Tony Blair) and the seven US presidents in office between 1969 and 2008 (Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Bill Clinton and George W Bush). He was also the last person to interview Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran.

Outside world affairs, his roster ranged from Orson Welles, Tennessee Williams, Noel Coward, Peter Ustinov, Woody Allen, Muhammad Ali, the Beatles, Clint Eastwood, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sir John Gielgud, Norman Mailer, Warren Beatty and many more.

His Sunday morning interview programme Breakfast with Frost ran on the BBC from January 1993 until May 2005. The programme originally began in this format on TV-am in September 1983 as Frost on Sunday and ran until the station lost its franchise at the end of 1992. Later it transferred briefly to BSB before moving to the BBC.

Later he was to work for Al Jazeera English and had recently interviewed F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.

Among his awards were two Emmy Awards (for The David Frost Show), the Royal Television Society Silver Medal and the Richard Dimbleby Award in the United Kingdom and internationally, the Golden Rose of Montreux.

American audiences took to him as enthusiastically as British ones, a considerable achievement because more often than not megastars on the British TV screen flop hopelessly in the United States.

The Chicago Tribune once wrote of him: "Few interviewers have been as consistently well-prepared, bright and engaging as David Frost."

The Christian Science Monitor also spoke of his programmes producing "results that are often more revealing than anything on prime-time news", while New York Newsday wrote: "He has become an Anglo-American broadcasting phenomenon."

During one hectic period in his life, Sir David was virtually commuting on a weekly basis to present coast-to-coast programmes in the United States and returning to Britain to host programmes here. He was undoubtedly the busiest, and certainly the most energetic, television personality of his generation.

Over the years, Sir David wrote 17 books, produced several films and started two television networks, London Weekend Television and TV-am.

In 1983, he married Lady Carina Fitzalan-Howard, second daughter of the Duke of Norfolk. There were three sons.

He was awarded an OBE in 1970 and received his knighthood in 1993.

Spain: British Man Held Over Father's Death

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 31 Agustus 2013 | 18.25

A British tourist has been arrested on suspicion of killing his 69-year-old father during a fight at a holiday camp in a Spanish beach resort.

A security guard reportedly called police to the Castell Montgri camp in the village of L'Estartit near Girona after an argument broke out between the man, 45, and his father. It is not thought any weapons were used in the lethal attack.

Police discovered the suspect's father lying on the ground with serious head injuries and he was taken to hospital where he died later. Reports suggest 

A police spokesman said: "Officers from the Mossos d'Esqudra have arrested a 45-year-old British man in connection with the death of his 69-year-old father.

L'Estartit The Castell Montgri holiday camp is located in the town of L'Estartit

"The victim was taken by emergency services to hospital to be attended for the wounds he suffered, while local police in Torroella de Montgri arrested the alleged perpetrator for domestic violence.

"The victim died this morning and investigators from the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan regional police) took on the case."

An autopsy is due to take place today to confirm the cause of death.

The Castell Montgri holiday camp is located at the foot of the Rocamaura mountain next to the town of L'Estartit in the Costa Brava region of northeast Spain. This resort is popular with British tourists during the holiday season.

Police have yet to name the deceased or his son.
