Nor that unconvicted prisoners on remand will still be allowed to have them.Mr Howard’s “line”, as revealed in the documents, is that in-cell television “is incompatible with government policy that prison regimes should be decent but austere”.His meeting with staff was to discuss the impact of the 13 percent budget cuts over the next three years. While his line to staff was that they should do their utmost to maintain education and other out-of cell activities, he would not tell them that 60 per cent of jails were axing education classes.The briefing paper confirms the 3,000 staff cuts being sought by the service, but reveals that the Treasury is unlikely to fund the costs of redundancies beyond the beginning of 1997 putting even greater strains on prison resources.Yesterday, Harry Fletcher, assistant general secretary of the National Association of Probation Officers, said: “This paper makes it clear that prison cuts are compromising inmates’ activities as well as internal security. However, he was not prepared to tell staff that those inmates who already have them will be given six months notice of their withdrawal because of the threat to disorder. The paper also reveals the service is considering the closure of some jails, the merger of others and in the long-term the possible expansion of others.The briefing document also shows that Mr Howard was able to tell staff that he was going to reject in-cell television – a key recommendation from the Learmont inquiry into security, carried out in the wake of last year’s serious escapes. because of infrastructure failure owing to inadequate maintenance or because of action by environmental health officers.”Because margins on likely population and accommodation are so small any loss of accommodation will mean a significant risk of using police cells,” its says. He says television for prisoners does not accord with his “austere regimes”.The paper, seen by the Independent, is a background briefing for Mr Howard’s latest meeting with prison staff detailing what he was prepared to tell officers – and what he was not.One of the items of “background only” information was the fact that most modernisation schemes in the country’s 136 jails were being dropped next year and that maintenance spending was to be reduced to the “bare minimum.”With jails already full from a record number of 54,000 inmates, the Prison Service expects to be forced to use police cells as sections of at least 14 jails, which have become unsafe through crumbling infrastructure or unsanitary conditions, are closed.The report says the effect of the cuts in budgets which leaves the service with pounds 100m to spend on its entire building stock and land “may well be the loss of some accommodation … HEATHER MILLS

Significant parts of Britain’s jails may be forced to close because they are expected to become unfit for human habitation, a leaked briefing paper to the Home Secretary has disclosed.It also reveals that Michael Howard is planning to remove televisions from the cells of prisoners in 20 jails – even though he acknowledges that it pacifies inmates and saves on staffing costs.

A pedestrian may lose the sight in one eye after a motorist who slowed to let him cross the road clubbed him with an iron bar for not saying “thank you”. Police said the “absolutely appalling” attack on the 31-year-old man in West Derby, Merseyside, by a skinhead was totally unprovoked.
The man was waiting to cross the road on Friday when a black Cavalier slowed down for him.He crossed, but when he failed to say “thank-you” the furious driver got out of the car and hit him twice, on the back and in the face, with a scaffolding pole.He screamed: “Next time say thank you”, before getting back in his car and driving off.The pedestrian’s cheekbone was broken in three places; he suffered severe cuts and bruising and has been warned he could lose the sight in his right eye.Police are looking for a fair-haired, 6ft skinhead aged between 25 and 30.. The French agriculture minister, Philippe Vasseur, said last night that Britain would have to submit to Brussels full details of its planned slaughter programme before the European Union embargo on British beef could be lifted, writes Mary Dejevsky. He said so far Britain had not given sufficient detail of what was proposed; it had to submit the programme in its entirety.
This requirement, made public by Mr Vasseur during an interview on France’s main weekly political programme, was the third of three conditions he said should be met before there was any prospect of France agreeing to the embargo being lifted.The first was that a European committee of scientists should be formed to examine the current state of knowledge about BSE and the possible links with Creutzfeld-Jacob disease. The second that there should be a separate decision on what to do about exports of beef by-products like gelatine and components of cosmetics.The minister was speaking a day after John Major had given vent to his frustration with the attitude of Britain’s European partners over the beef embargo..

The survey of 500 business managers, commissioned by BT, found they attended six meetings a week on average. A quarter of those interviewed said at least one meeting a week turned out to be pointless or unproductive.
The survey identified a widespread view of meetings as a status symbol – the more someone goes to, the more important they are. More than a third of managers complained that their company had a “meetings culture”, in which everything has to be discussed at a meeting.Some claimed that colleagues fix meetings at the end of the day to get away early, or at a client’s office in the morning to get a lie-in.. The typical British manager spends almost 20 years in meetings during his or her career, a survey showed today. More than a quarter of that time is spent travelling to and from meetings, yet many of them could have been avoided by a telephone call, fax or letter.

“Most councils have made provisions or written-off those amounts. It usually results in pushing the council tax up but many have over-provided for the poll tax losses and are now getting a bonus. However, it cannot be used for services, only for lowering the council tax.”The survey indicates that council tax collection has proved easier than the poll tax.

But this has produced complaints that Mr Brown has trampled on other people’s territory and built a group of dedicated supporters around him. His chairmanship of the day-to-day news management strategy committee, and of a new weekly campaign meeting (attended by Mr Blair and members of his private office but not Mr Cook) makes friction with colleagues inevitable.Mr Cook, who is chairman of Labour’s policy forum, and is also supposed to be in charge of policy development, feels he should be consulted more. He has championed proportional representation and expressed an interest in serving in a Scottish Parliament. Mr Brown has become central to the modernising process.Mr Cook, although he covets Mr Brown’s economic portfolio, has devoted much of his energy to the constitutional agenda.

In a way Gordon’s position has been strengthened.”The enmity goes back to Edinburgh University where Mr Cook first met his younger challenger Then, at least, there was an ideological meeting of minds. The Scotsman last week disinterred a 20-year-old copy of the Red Paper on Scotland – stated objective the pursuit of “vigorous socialist policies” – edited by Mr Brown with a contribution from Mr Cook.The road from there to Mr Blair’s revisionist Shadow Cabinet has been a long one, and it has shown up their differences. Critics of Mr Brown were said to include Chris Smith, Mo Mowlam and Frank Dobson.Last week, at a meeting of the Parliamentary Party, MPs banged their desks in support of the shadow Chancellor, and later that day at a meeting of the Shadow Cabinet the Labour leader backed Mr Brown “101 per cent”. He warned that if he found out who was leaking to newspapers they would have no place in a Blair Cabinet.One source, who was careful not to blame Mr Cook, argued: “There has been an attempt to drive a wedge between Tony and Gordon and that has failed. Several members of the Shadow Cabinet felt the consultation processes had broken down.

Mr Blair ordered a news blackout which was broken within days. Mr Cook’s reservations reached one newspaper front page.Then, a week later, reports emerged of a brisk exchange at Shadow Cabinet between Messrs Cook and Brown. The principle had been trailed in a policy document published in October, but the detail infuriated some on the left. The two Scottish Labour MPs were never friends; now many see them as enemies. Both clever, both loners, there is, said one MP last week, an “almost chemical frisson” between the two which has developed over a 20-year rivalry. Brownites regard Mr Cook as “poisonous”; “never trust a man who once went on holiday to a library,” retort backers of the shadow Foreign Secretary.The latest dispute erupted over Mr Brown’s plans to remove some benefit from the young unemployed who refuse a job or training. Who would want that kind of work?Inside story, page 17Leading article, page 20.

WHEN President Clinton meets Tony Blair on Wednesday, their discussion will be of only passing interest to Labour MPs. But the question of who the Labour leader takes with him has been much more gripping for the parliamentary party. The guestlist could have included any of Mr Blair’s three most senior colleagues: Robin Cook, the shadow Foreign Secretary, Gordon Brown, the shadow Chancellor or John Prescott, the deputy leader. And, as Labour MPs know, tension among the three has never been higher.
One highly-placed source concedes with understatement: “I am not going to pretend to you that any of them go on holiday together.” A Labour MP put it more bluntly: “Cook, Brown and Prescott, can’t stand being in the same room together.” Fortunate, perhaps, that only Mr Cook will be accompanying Mr Blair to the American ambassador’s London residence.Last week in a Commons debate the Chancellor Kenneth Clarke sought to exploit the semi-public row between Mr Brown and Mr Cook. Seasons will go by outside Mr Wansell’s Wiltshire home, and still there will be Fred, talking Forget the money. He has a year to write the book, a year spent among transcripts and records of the foulest kind, listening, as he said, to “Fred’s” voice on those hours of tapes.

In my opinion immorality or discreditable conduct is only a security risk if it is committed in such circumstances that it might expose the person concerned to blackmail or to undue pressures which might lead him to give away secret information.’For instance, I would normally regard homosexual behaviour, or perverted practices with a prostitute, as creating a security risk, at any rate if it was of recent date.’Again, I would not ordinarily regard adultery as a security risk, at any rate when committed clandestinely with a person who was not likely to resort to blackmail.

Former resident of Bryn Estyn.The inquiry team members said they had interviewed some former residents who said their experience in the homes was positive “but on the whole, those interviews which we undertook and the statements which we read, gave a clear indication that the residential care experience for a significant number of young people was little short of a living nightmare”.The inquiry team interviewed a number of young people as well as reading statements made earlier. But as a director, Howard is an anti-lifeforce, a vampire; he sucks films dry of tension and opportunity. He and Hanks are perfectly matched – they make everything bland It’s not all their fault.

Even on the basic technical level, Apollo 13 fails dismally (look out for an unforgivable error in the early scene where Hanks is gawping at the Moon) Hollywood, we most definitely have a problem

Butterfly Kiss (18). A disconcerting British road movie that is variously absurd, bewildering and harrowing. The frumpy Miriam (Saskia Reeves) works in a garage forecourt shop; the psychotic Eunice (Amanda Plummer) is roaming the North slaying salesmen and shop assistants They fall in love: “Mi” gives “Eu” her trust. Eu liberates her bumbling sidekick and drags her along on the killing spree. The first half-hour of Michael Winterbottom’s thriller has all the apocalyptic chill of the motorway service stations it tours. But despite some eerie photography and daring performances, it is doomed by its cod psychology, excessive violence and Cranberries soundtrack.. Girls are doing as well or better than boys in every GCSE subject and are catching up fast at A-level, according to the first major study of exam trends for the two sexes over the past decade.

The 193-page report from the Equal Opportunities Commission found that boys failed to improve their GCSE performance as much as girls over the period and their results lagged well behind in English, humanities, arts, modern languages and technology.
Even in the traditional male strongholds of maths and physics, girls are now matching boys at both GCSE and A-level.The report compiled by Cambridge and South Bank universities offers the most comprehensive evidence yet of the extent to which boys are falling behind girls. Recently, Chris Woodhead, the Chief Inspector of Schools, highlighted the underachievement of white working-class boys.The researchers argue that cultural changes have led to higher expectations of girls while the disappearance of many traditional working-class jobs has demotivated some boys. At A-level, boys still do better in English, modern languages, history, technology and chemistry but the gap is narrowing. Girls do better in biology, social studies and art and design. Boys also get more vocational qualifications than girls.Madeleine Arnot, one of the authors, said it was misleading to talk about boys’ underachievement “We have a success story here. This is an excellent sign of the work schools have done to improve girls’ performance so that they are now catching up.”The researchers looked at girls’ and boys’ performance in relation to their proportion of entry to exams.

There is no doubt who is winning this one…Guida takes home the unanimous decision.As season 8 debuts for TUF tonight, season 9 is going to be cast with a US vs UK theme. Ladies and gentleman, if he is on the field at any point for your team, your team isn’t going anywhere but down.I don’t care how desperate the Ravens may be for a backup QB; even if Harrington doesn’t play, all he will do is preach to the “QB of the future” for the Raves how to throw a strike to the other team and how to take a sack.Geez, and they already have Kyle Boller there. He finished the season with nine-consecutive games with a passer rating of 100+, and he led the league in completion percentage. Although the thought sounds crazy, is it really?The Patriots’ only significant loss in the offseason was Asante Samuel to the Philadelphia Eagles.The entire offensive line, a line that has gelled over the past several seasons, returns fully intact. Dolsi mostly played the mop-up game when he pitched in six games this season, but things could have gone worse He still has a shot to stick with the club next season. Pioneer`s asset teams are also implementing initiatives to reduce controllableproduction costs, including costs associated with fuel surcharges, electricitysupply, water disposal and compression rental.

While Team USA was off collecting a clean sheet against Spain, Mexico was languishing in fourth place in the CONCACAF qualifying group, a finish that wouldn’t even guarantee them a ticket to South Africa.It must have been terribly depressing for Mexico to sit at home and watch the US mature so quickly on the international stage. Pictured above is on-loan striker Jo in Everton’s new home kit in the traditional blue with white crest.In 2004, fans of the Toffees logged on to the club’s official web site and were met with a sight they never thought they would see.Evertonfc had announced the unveiling of the club’s new kit for the forthcoming season complete with a picture of the design.The shirt was based on that worn by the successful team of the 1980s.However it had one added extra. Force the NCAA to make a change.- Put the next undefeated mid-major in the national championship game.  Braun is now taking walks besides hitting home runs; Fielder is more patient at the plate; Weeks seemed destined to have a breakout year prior to picking up a season-ending wrist injury; Hardy, even if he’s streaky at the plate, is turning into a great defensive shortstop; and Gallardo has been the true ace of the staff in his first full season as a Brewer.Time flies, and with it, the kids are starting to grow and turn into established players.With time, however, come concerns about contracts and salaries and this is where I spot Melvin’s dilemma.When Attanasio took over the club in September of 2004, the Brewers bore little resemblance to what they stand for today.Attanasio immediately began building bridges with fans. Consider the New York Giants and Jets they both play in the same stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

But he swears to God there’s not a hint of blasphemy in any of them.. SBC WARBURGS is not a name which often crops up in the annals of Labour policy-making, but this week it will earn its footnote in party history. By Thursday, the merchant bank handling the privatisation of Railtrack will be in possession of Labour’s proposals for the rail system. Back home, one Daily Mail writer has just stopped short of calling for a Christian fatwa against Wingrove. The film-maker himself confesses to being bemused by the way his “little film” has ended up at the core of an historic debate.

Meanwhile, he has three new films lined up to try the patience of the BBFC: Bare Behind Bars, Sadomania and Demoniac. “No one saw that it is the principle, not the value of the thing, that matters.”Censorship campaigners scent a conspiracy: that after granting The Last Temptation a certificate, the BBFC had to show it could be tough on blasphemy and therefore picked a tiny experimental film-maker without influential friends which it could ban without affecting the coffers of the British film industry.The Government is taking Wednesday’s case seriously, and has dispatched three QCs and Solicitor General Sir Derek Spencer to Strasbourg to defend the realm. Nor is it likely to reach a mass market, even if granted a certificate.In 1989, when the case went to the video appeals committee, three other cases made headlines: The Last Temptation of Christ, by Hollywood director Martin Scorsese; Madonna’s music video to Like A Prayer; and the fatwa against Salman Rushdie.”Had I been Fellini, the film world would have leapt to my defence, but there was no murmur of support from the British Film Institute,” says Wingrove. “Otherwise, the law will have to start defining religion,” says de Souza. “That will be impossible and perhaps dangerous.”Robertson calls the law a hypocrisy. “When it came to Rushdie, the Government said Iran’s laws were unsupportable,” he says.

“Yet they continue to support a blasphemy law in this country.”An unexpected supporter of the anti-censorship lobby is the former Bishop of Durham, Dr David Jenkins, who dedicated his retiring speech to attacking Britain’s blasphemy laws “An all-powerful God can take care of himself,” he says. “He doesn’t need legislation to do it for him.”Wingrove himself admits his film is not a great work of art – one of his legal team joked that it may be a “blasphemy against artistic expression”. Frances de Souza, of the campaign group Article 19 and a friend of Rushdie’s, sums up the main argument against the law “It only protects the official religion and, as such, is discriminatory.” For this reason the Commission for Racial Equality wants to see the blasphemy law broadened to cover all religions.Article 19 , however, wants to see the law abolished. Violating St Teresa violates my sense of truth and in doing so, violates my conscience.”Gathering pace in the wake of the Salman Rushdie affair, however, is the opposite view: that the blasphemy law is an archaic and anachronistic piece of legislation in a multi-cultural society. Although Tony Benn’s 1989 Bill to abolish the blasphemy law failed to reach a second reading, it was because politicians were too timid to rock the boat, says Robertson.British campaigners point out that civilised society has collapsed neither in America, which protects free speech under the first amendment, nor in France, Austria, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, which all have abolished blasphemy laws. I would consider this a form of persecution.”Mr Eden says he is not a “right-wing, moral-majority Christian”, but is nevertheless deeply offended by the themes of Visions of Ecstasy.

“There is a chasm in modern society, where on the one side you have a post-modern view in which there are no meta-narratives and the Bible is just a book, and on the other side there are people like me,” he says “To me there is such a thing as truth. “A contemptuous reviling of God and Jesus is to revile the core relationship in a Christian’s life. “But I never thought for one minute it would be considered blasphemous. If I had set out to make a blasphemous film I would have gone way over the line, but that was never my intention.”Martin Eden, of the Evangelical Alliance, an umbrella group for evangelical Christians in the UK, finds Mr Wingrove’s intentions irrelevant. The last was in 1977 when the late Denis Lemon, editor and publisher of Gay News, was prosecuted and convicted for printing James Kirkup’s poem, The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name, which used homosexual imagery to convey the poet’s relationship to God.The court heard that “blasphemous libel is committed if there is published any writing concerning God or Christ, the Christian religion, the Bible, or some sacred subject, using words which are scurrilous, abusive or offensive and which tend to vilify the Christian religion [and therefore lead to a breach of the peace]“.The other case involved a Mr JW Gott, sentenced to nine months’ imprisonment with hard labour in 1921 for publishing a pamphlet entitled Rib Ticklers or Questions for Parsons.Visions of Ecstasy packs into its 18 minutes the essential elements of a succesful skin flick with added religious outrage: sex with Christ; blood dripping from a stigmata wound self-inflicted with a nail; and lesbian sex between St Teresa and her alter ego.By the end, the 16th-century Spanish Carmelite nun’s hood is drenched with her blood, what appears to be Christ’s scar tissue, communion wine, and other unmentionable fluids.”I knew I might have trouble getting the 18 certificate because of the sex,” said Wingrove.
