You can get anything round here boasts Danny in his flat Yorkshire accent waving at a gleaming BMW driven by two dealers

"You can get anything round here," boasts Danny in his flat Yorkshire accent, waving at a gleaming BMW, driven by two dealers. He adds: "It's Diwali (the Hindu festival of light), so guess what I'm going to do tonight? I'm going to buy me some blow, get mashed and go to sleep, same as any other day.". THE GOVERNMENT came under pressure to outlaw predatory pricing of newspapers yesterday when peers argued that cut-throat price wars of the kind waged by the likes of Rupert Murdoch threatened the lifeblood of democracy in this country. Lord McNally, a Liberal Democrat peer, introduced an amendment during a debate on the Competition Bill that would impose new regulations on Mr Murdoch's UK newspapers. Urging fellow peers to vote against the Government to protect the diversity and quality of British print media, he said: "Newspapers have to be treated differently by competition laws because of the importance of a diverse media for a healthy democracy ... media moguls are not self- regulated and we will have to contain them."But Lord McNally's proposed tough rules, which are broadly similar to an earlier amendment accepted by the Lords and overturned by the Commons earlier this year, were defeated by 116 to 87.In the debate, Lord Harris of High Cross, a crossbencher, said that price- cutting by The Times, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News International, was not the only reason that its circulation had increased over recent years, there were also issues of quality involved: "These are do or die issues ...

In response to the death, the Israeli government said it would build permanent structures at the site where settler families live in mobile homes.On Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement, Mr Sarsour threw a grenade at soldiers in Hebron, leaving several of them wounded. Yesterday, he cancelled a campaign trip to return yet again to the talks. As he did so, the armed wing of Hamas, the Islamic militant organisation, claimed responsibility for the grenade attack. The Palestinian under arrest for throwing two grenades in a Beersheba bus station, wounding 64 Israelis, has confessed also to killing a rabbi and throwing a grenade at soldiers in Hebron, the Israeli army said yesterday.Jibril Rajoub, the head of the Palestinian Preventive Security agency, identified the attacker as Salem Rajab Sarsour, 29, a construction worker, who had been living in the Palestinian enclave in the city of Hebron, south of Jerusalem.The Israeli army says he confessed to killing Rabbi Shlomo Roonan with a knife at the Israeli settlement of Tel Rumeida in Hebron last August. Mr Clinton returned to the rural conference centre in Maryland where the talks are being held to bring things back together, and talks on other issues - including the right of Palestinians to safe passage through Israel - resumed. Monday's grenade attack in Beersheba disrupted the talks, which had been going slowly anyway, leading Israel to withdraw temporarily from all but security negotiations. The burden yesterday was on Ms Jones to prove that the dismissal of her case was wrong. If she fails she could find herself without any compensation and facing huge legal fees..

MIDDLE EAST peace talks seemed to be heading for a partial agreement last night after a heavy dose of political pressure from President Bill Clinton. By yesterday, however, with Mr Clinton's popularity ratings holding up well despite impending impeachment hearings, the greater pressure seemed to be on Ms Jones.Court documents from the pre-trial hearings released on Monday produced no further embarrassments for Mr Clinton, and showed the lengths to which Ms Jones's lawyers went in attempts to expose the President's sexual encounters. The President has also fought shy of any settlement that might be construed as offering an apology. Only this weekend he declined to be associated with a $2m (pounds 1.2m) settlement, half of which would have been paid direct to Ms Jones by a New York millionaire property developer, Abe Hirschfeld.Because of Kenneth Starr's report, which documented Mr Clinton's relationship with Ms Lewinsky and alleged that he lied under oath when he denied the affair, Mr Clinton was under extreme political pressure to settle with Ms Jones. Ms Jones's law-yers may now cite Mr Clinton's admission of his relationship with Ms Lewinsky as evidence that he was less than frank in his sworn testimony and that other parts of his evidence may be unreliable.Mr Clinton has steadfastly denied any encounter with Ms Jones and, although he has made a succession of financial offers through his lawyers, he has refused to meet her demand for an apology. First, that Ms Webber Wright dismissed the case before weighing all the evidence, and second that she was wrong to exclude testimony from Monica Lewinsky.While the summons to Ms Lewinsky in the Paula Jones case precipitated the revelations about her relationship with the President, Ms Lewinsky's case was ruled irrelevant to proving a "pattern of behaviour" by Mr Clinton in soliciting favours from state employees.

The pre-trial hearings were conducted in the Arkansas capital, Little Rock.Ms Jones's lawyers, who - like Mr Clinton's lawyers - had just half an hour to make their case before the appeals panel yesterday, were expected to base their plea on two points. Ms Jones's legal team is challenging that ruling, questioning the judge's finding that Ms Jones suffered no psychological or professional harm from the alleged encounter. She claimed that her career was harmed after she rebuffed an unwelcome sexual advance from Mr Clinton in an Arkansas hotel room in 1991. She was then an employee of the state of Arkansas, and Mr Clinton was state governor.The appeal hearing was to be held on "neutral territory", in the state capital of Minnesota, St Paul. The four-year case was dismissed last April after a judge in Arkansas, Susan Webber Wright, ruled that there was insufficient evidence to bring the case to trial. Fr Casaleggio insists on six months' preparation, including classes for the bride and groom, or four months as an absolute minimum "Things are more liberal around here, it's true," he said "But we're still the Catholic church.".
