There’s something about the character of Sherlock Holmes that makes the detective irresistible on the silver screen.

Yesterday Curbishley responded: “I was disappointed with his comments It’s one thing to talk like a father To talk with a Derby tracksuit on is a little bit different. Andy won’t be going anywhere for nothing.”Colin has reacted like a father and, perhaps, has had his say without knowing all the facts. I played with him for four years at Birmingham and I’ve spoken to him and cleared up one or two things.”It’s his son and he thinks he is hard done by but it has been done in a fair-minded way. Most people, if asked about Alan Curbishley and Charlton, would say he’s fair-minded, not someone who jumps to rash decisions I’ve looked at all sides and felt Andy was wrong.

I’ve already lost Richard Rufus and Radostin Kishishev to long-term injuries, the last thing I want is to lose another defender.”He might not if Todd junior, who has been fined two weeks’ wages, transfer-listed and told to train apart from the first team, can swallow his pride. “It was one of those incidents which happens every now and then in a football club. I’ve been around long enough, I could name you a dozen similar incidents But a decision had to be made It is done now and we will all have to get on with it He’s on the transfer list, we’ll have to see what happens. He has not been in contention for a first team place since as he wanted a cooling-off period. We will assess the situation again on Monday.”Todd joined Charlton, whose next match is on Sunday at Arsenal, after a similar incident at his and his father’s old club Bolton two years ago. Then, he was involved in a fight with Phil Brown, the assistant manager, shortly after the club parted company with Colin. Charlton subsequently signed him for a cut-price £750,000.The League Managers’ Association has applauded Sir Alex Ferguson in highlighting the plight of lower-league managers.

The Manchester United manager is urging his colleagues to boycott clubs that sack a manager and fail to compensate them properly. Nigel Spackman became the season’s 19th casualty last Thursday when he was dismissed by First Division Barnsley.Premier League rules bind clubs that sack managers to agree a financial settlement within 28 days or go to arbitration. But no such deal exits in the First, Second and Third Divisions and the clamour for change is growing. “It’s worked very well in the Premiership but there is no such regulation in the Football League,” LMA chief executive John Barnwell said “It leaves the door open to clubs to take advantage.

At court today they backed a move by Wiltshire Police for a court order overturning the original verdict so that a fresh hearing can be held in an attempt to establish a positive cause of death. Their 21-year-old daughter was found dead in a bedsit in Exmouth, Devon, six years ago and an inquest in December 2000 recorded an open verdict, leaving the cause of death as “unascertained”. Her parents had argued at a hearing at the High Court in London that there had been a failure to carry out a “full, fair and fearless” investigation into her death.
Rachel Whitear’s mother and stepfather, Pauline and Mick Holcroft, were present in the London courtroom as two judges gave the go-ahead for the new inquest. But the Tories’ higher education spokesman apparently contradicted his leader by saying the campaign put too much pressure on children to eat healthily..

The family of a young student whose body featured in a graphic anti-drugs campaign today won their battle for a fresh inquest into her death. David Cameron will portray himself as the champion and defender of the National Health Service today as he makes another incursion into Labour’s natural territory. In his closing speech to the Tory conference in Bournemouth, Mr Cameron will argue that he can be trusted to protect the NHS and its budget because of his family’s experience of using it. He and his wife, Samantha, have a four-year-old son, Ivan, who was born with cerebral palsy..

Boris Johnson has embarrassed the Tory leadership yet again after he appeared to criticise Jamie Oliver’s campaign to improve the standard of school dinners. His remarks at a fringe meeting shattered the unity of the Conservative front bench. David Cameron and the shadow Foreign Secretary, William Hague, have been trying to convince voters that a Conservative government would be pro-American but would not be as “slavish” as Tony Blair, and would be tough in dealing with radical Muslims.. David Cameron had praised the TV chef in his opening conference speech for leading calls to make school food more nutritious.

We are getting ready to serve again – standing up for what we believe, reaching out for what we can achieve. “Let us be confident as we say together here today – the best is yet to come.”. Plans for an independent watchdog to investigate the work of aid agencies in the developing world will be announced by the Tories today. Andrew Mitchell, the shadow International Development Secretary, will tell the Tory conference: “Aid agencies should be subject to independent evaluation, not merely self-evaluation as at present.”. George Osborne, the shadow Chancellor, has made a direct appeal to core Tory voters by promising to rebalance the tax system in favour of the family. The Tories could go into the next election with a pledge to offer tax breaks of £5,400 for married couples with children where one parent stays at home to look after a child, by making the child tax allowance transferable.. Tony Blair should cut the “umbilical cord” tying him to George Bush’s administration, pull British troops out of Iraq and open negotiations with radical Muslims, Michael Ancram, a former Tory spokesman on foreign affairs, has said.

“We must be the party that lifts people’s sights and raises their hopes. This is an old country with a proud past and a bright future. “And, by the way, it means something whether you’re a man and a woman, a woman and a woman or a man and another man.” The Conservative leader ended his speech by saying: “Tony Blair said Britain is a young country He is wrong. It’s not about religion, it’s not about morality, it’s about commitment. “When you stand up there in front of your friends and your family, in front of the world, whether it’s in a church or anywhere else, what you’re doing really means something.

But countries which remain outside will become subject to new inflationary pressures, in particular Portugal, Greece, Spain and Italy. The Maastricht treaty states that a country’s ability to meet targets for inflation and long-term interest rates will be based on how far it brings its economy into line with the three “best performing member states”.Commission officials accept that once monetary union has been established inflation and interest rates among EMU member states will be brought down, as stability is established and the currency strengthens. However, according to well-placed sources in Brussels, the Commission’s own experts on monetary union now concede that, under the procedures set out in the Maastricht treaty, countries which remain “outside” in 1999 could face even tougher economic convergence criteria after the hard core has been established.The new Brussels admission stems from a detailed legal assessment of the Maastricht convergence criteria and a study of likely economic performance in weaker EU member states.The Commission is clear that the criteria for those wishing to join the first wave will apply equally to those joining a second wave. The Commission’s stark assessment will add to the uncertainty over monetary union, giving new force to the argument that the 1999 target date for the launch is premature, and could relegate late- comers to a European Union “second division”.Until now the Commission has largely dismissed the British warnings of a split between “ins and outs” as another ploy to stir up opposition to the single currency. Not so, retorted the Foreign Minister, Klaus Kinkel: “The German government remains unreservedly intent on introducing the third stage of economic and monetary union on time on 1 January, 1999.” Witnesses claim Mr Kinkel appeared to adopt the posture of an ostrich as he made his remark.. SARAH HELM

Brussels
Britain’s warning that European monetary union could split Europe, creating a permanent division between countries inside and outside the system, has received new backing from within the European Commission.Senior officials have admitted for the first time that those countries which do not join the single currency in January 1999 may find it much harder to join later.

The SPD’s spokeswoman on Europe, Heidemarie Wieczorek- Zeul, the party’s leading Europhile, lamented the lack of a Europe-wide policy on employment, pointing out that economic integration has produced 18 million jobless in the EU. Though she avoided the word “postponement”, it was clear that the SPD would not permit a relaxation in the rules of membership. Since Germany itself is finding it impossible to meet the targets, the implication of this policy is that Europe’s largest economy will not be allowed to join up in 1999.Similar conclusions are being drawn on the government benches, though few dare to voice their fears in public.The last person to do so, Wolfgang Schauble, the leader of Mr Kohl’s parliamentary group, was forced to eat his words a day later.Mr Schauble had said that the government would consider postponement on the eve of the project. As the economic slowdown closes down factories in Germany’s industrial heartland, Chancellor Helmut Kohl will come under immense pressure to cut taxes and boost spending, sweeping aside the Maastricht criteria for the sake of the national economy.The constellation of forces ranged against the Chancellor’s increasingly lonely crusade for the European single currency now embraces almost the entire political spectrum, from the Christian Socialists of Bavaria on the right to the SPD and Greens on the left. Though the national SPD leadership officially supports EMU in 1999, the Eurosceptics are beginning to gain the upper hand.Oskar Lafontaine, the party’s leader, is a recent convert to the cause of postponement. On the surface, he appears to back Mr Kohl’s insistence that the Maastricht criteria must be met by all participating countries.

But, unlike the Chancellor, Mr Lafontaine says it is better to tinker with the timetable of monetary union if member countries cannot meet the targets, and his EMU vocabulary has been enriched in the past few days with the word “jobs”.Bitterness about the European project was evident in a statement issued by the SPD yesterday to mark the fourth anniversary of the signing of the Maastricht treaty. No longer concerned about the abolition of the German mark, the opposition now argues that the 3 per cent limit on the government’s budget deficit – one of the conditions for EMU membership – will prevent Germany from spending its way out of recession.Today the government is set to announce that unemployment has passed 4 million – a figure not reached since the dying days of the Weimar Republic. The combination of falling government revenue in the middle of an economic downturn and rising unemployment is suddenly shifting the focus to the shackles imposed by the monetary union criteria. For next month’s regional elections in Baden-Wurttemberg, the party has produced a poster with the words: “Stability and jobs have priority now. Postpone EMU.”Though the slogan is not exactly snappy, it is certain to catch on. IMRE KARACS

The well-mannered debate in Germany over European monetary union is rapidly degenerating into a party political brawl, as the opposition Social Democrats prepare to turn it into an election issue.The project, which has earned the contempt of the majority of Germans and sown division within the government, is about to be ambushed by the once Euro-friendly SPD.

Under the 1980 Government Indemnity Scheme, the Government acts as insurer for works brought into the UK from overseas for public exhibition.. By the end of the Eighties, Manet’s jet-setting “A Bar at the Folies- Bergere” had safely travelled over 56,000 miles.InsuranceThe death of the blockbuster exhibition was predicted in the Eighties because important works were becoming so valuable that insurance premiums were becoming prohibitive. The Cezanne is curated by all its venues: it comes to London from Paris, and will go on to Philadelphia.SalesCatalogues (pounds 35 in the case of Cezanne) are usually bought by one in 10 visitors. Sales of the Cezanne catalogue are fast approaching pounds 2m Museums channel visitors through their shops. At Cezanne, you can buy scarves, crockery, jigsaw puzzles and wine. Cezanne babygros are being manufactured for the Philadelphia show.TransportInnovations in transport, security and preservation, such as climate and humidity control, have made it safer to send works of art around the world.

The pictures in the Cezanne have travelled from Tokyo, Washington, New York, Zurich, St Petersburg, Copenhagen, Marseille and Philadelphia as well as the National Gallery and a clutch of private collections Curating it is a feat of international diplomacy. A sponsor’s money tends to fund publicity rather than increase the scale of the show. Often directors are contractually obliged to mention a show’s sponsor whenever they speak to the media.PlanningIt usually takes about five years to plan a blockbuster exhibition It involves lengthy negotiations with a range of owners. Deals are often complicated, involving sponsorship in kind and contracts with various firms. The largest blockbuster was The Treasures of Tutankhamun, with 1,690,000 visitors in nine months.SponsorshipA major sponsor often means the difference between an overall profit or loss, especially at galleries that have no government grant. The Monet exhibition in 1990 attracted 658,289 while the Africa exhibition, which has just ended, attracted 250,280. “It’s not just that people don’t get quality viewing, in the Chicago Art Institute during the Monet people were reporting that it was difficult to breathe.”Don’t say you haven’t been warned.AdmissionsAssuming all of the 330,000 tickets are sold (price pounds 7), admission will raise pounds 2,310,000 for the Cezanne exhibition In Paris, 640,000 visited The Tate sold 6,000 advance tickets on Tuesday alone.

We knocked on their bedroom door but were swiftly ordered back to bed. We had disturbed a couple of massive hangovers: my parents lived a permanent cocktail party My brother persisted “Boatie!”, he cried He was all of two years old “Ian’s Boatie!”, I meekly repeated. My father appeared at the door in his silk dressing gown and escorted us angrily back to our bedroom.
Within a minute of seeing what my brother had so instinctively realised was a threat, however, the Boyd family were running for their lives, dressed only in nightclothes, down a steep hill in torrential rain Our amah carried Alison, our brand-new baby sister We reached the nearby police station where we took refuge. Within seconds of us leaving the house, it was destroyed by a landslide – a familiar phenomenon on the Peak. The next day I remember looking at the ruins of Dad’s new green Mark Seven Jaguar, which had been crushed to within four inches of the ground.

Ian’s dawn whimpering had saved us from a similar fate, but we were homeless and, because Dad had not been insured, penniless.The second event happened only a few months after that traumatic landslide incident and is more surreal. I remember telling my dad that I had seen some hippos walking across the golf course which led down to the shores of Lake Victoria, in front of our pink bougainvillaea-wrapped house in Jinja, Uganda. He told me that I was talking nonsense.Throughout my weird nomadic childhood, my parents, Donald and Luba, provided me with a series of stories about their lives which have contributed to what has become, for my family, a soap opera of epic proportions. Last year I was commissioned by the BBC to direct a very personal film which would chronicle my parents’ lives and, of course, my own upbringing This has taken me on an odyssey to Russia, China and Africa.

The extent to which I have embellished their stories over the years with my own romantic, and mischievous, imagination has been matched only by the wide disparity between their versions of their lives before they met and fell in love in Shanghai.I have often toyed with fictionalising the Donald and Luba story. This would have made the blurred facts easier to integrate; it would have made the embellishments simpler to disguise. Where the memory lapsed or the facts were boring, I could have just invented incidents to keep things interesting. But in choosing to make a documentary, I have been forced to arrive at some sort of truth – not least because I am featuring my mother, who is still alive, my immediate family, whose hungry curiosity has created much of the mythology, and my youngest brother, who has seen and heard almost everything I have.For this investigation into the murky areas of my family’s history, I have had a significant watchdog: my 21-year-old daughter Kate is my collaborator. Apart from her talent as a film-maker (she is in her final year at university studying film and television), Kate has been a crucial witness to my genealogical dig. She has pressurised me, sometimes unwittingly, to avoid doctoring the truth for dramatic effect and her reaction to our joint confrontation with the reality of our family’s drama has been a vital tool in telling the story accurately.I had never visited Kiev, where my maternal grandparents were born, nor had I been to Harbin in Manchuria, where my mother was born, nor Shanghai, where my parents were married. I was very young when we lived in Hong Kong and Uganda, and I yearned to make some kind of atavistic attempt to retrace my mother’s mysterious journey from Manchuria, through to its tragic denouement in a bedsit in Earl’s Court.

If you’re looking to watch “Hope for Haiti” on Friday night, you won’t have any trouble finding it.

“You only have to look at NASCAR [America's top motorsports category for heavily modified road cars] to see the potential that it has.”The problem facing anybody who has to provide an entertain-ment like F1 is that most viewers now have the choice of as many as 50 channels. If those viewers are not purists they will cruise on to the next channel as soon as the motor racing ceases to be entertaining.” Critics, who prefer to see overtaking moves carried out on the track rather than in the pits during refuelling stops, might be tempted to suggest that it already has.In the end attention focused back on the racing cars, and it was only in the dying moments of an electrifying qualifying session that Mika Hakkinen was able to assert himself to steal his 15th pole position from Eddie Irvine.Earlier on, Jean Alesi took advantage of a lower track temperature and soft compound tyres to grab the initial advantage in the Sauber Petronas. This he held onto as the temperature rose while Schumacher and Co made their first attempts.For more than half the session Alesi remained dominant before Schumacher finally squeezed ahead by a 10th of a second. But, like the McLarens, the German’s car has not looked at its best all weekend on harder tyres, and Schumacher succumbed to an in-form Coulthard before Irvine, who was impressive throughout on soft rubber, pushed Ferrari back in front.This was only the fourth time the Ulsterman has outqualified Schumacher, but he was philosophical when Hakkinen finally usurped him, sipping a Red Bull and giving a wry shrug C’est la vie But this afternoon, c’est la guerre.

Much will depend on track temperature but, if Irvine gets the cool weather to preserve his tyres, his gamble might do the trick. After all, the last time he went his own way was in Melbourne Where he won.. FOR THE first time in more than a decade a grand prix rider is to risk his livelihood, and even his life, by competing in the Isle of Man TT races, which have long been considered too dangerous for the top professionals

That Michael Rutter rides a Honda is no coincidence. This year’s TT, starting on Saturday, will mark Honda’s 40th year of competing on the island which made their name.

They badly want to celebrate by seeing off the challenge of their Japanese rivals Yamaha.
In 1959 Honda, then virtually unknown name in Britain, sent their first bikes to the TT. They were reliable but not quick enough to win, which, for the time being, did not worry the company’s founder, Soichiro Honda. If they could survive the bumpy 373/4 mile course, over a mountain and through the mist, his ride-to-work mopeds for the masses would have serious pedigree.He had paid a secret visit to watch the 1954 TT races. It was the turning point for a company who went on revolutionise the previously British, Italian and German dominated motorcycle sport and have also won six Formula One car racing constructors’ championships. Also in 1954 he sent his first racing team to Brazil, but it was the uniquely demanding TT course over which he knew his machines eventually had to succeed.The claim at the time was that the Japanese could only copy rather than innovate.

Though that argument has long since been overturned, in those days Honda’s engines and suspensions were more or less replicas of those used by the German NSU company.In the 350 and 500cc classes British machines were clinging on to the last glory days of Norton, AJS and BSA, while the Italian and German bikes con- firmed the winds of change on the mountain circuit. In 1960 Honda arrived with a four cylinder 250cc bike, but the challenge was still not taken seriously. Then in 1961 Mike Hailwood was contracted for the 250cc and 125cc events, and won both Hondas took the first five places in both races. Suddenly these small racing engines could power bikes to average speeds of almost 90mph over the winding, stonewall-lined course,In the later Sixties Japanese technology and huge ambition saw them prosper in the Senior race, Hailwood switching from MV to Honda,but finally the company withdrew following strenuous lobbying against the dangers of the circuit Instead they put greater effort into Formula One. Nevertheless, Soi-chiro’s pioneering means that Japanese bikes provide the backbone of motorcycle racing.Rutter may not win any of the three events he is entered, the Junior, Production and Senior races, but as a feat of endurance his effort will be unrivalled. He begins practice on the island tomorrow and goes to Mugello on Thursday to prepare for Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix. He flies back to the island for his first race the following Wednesday, followed by the Production and Senior races on the Friday.

His main challenge in the Senior event will come from Yamaha’s Phil McCallen who has 11 TT victories,and factory supported Honda rider, Jim Moodie.Joey Dunlop, now 47 and with over a fifth of the wins Honda have achieved on the island, will be back. Why? “I just keep saying, one more lap,” he said, before adding that as the machines get lighter and more powerful so the bumps – and the bruises – seem to get worse.In spite of continually improving the course, it remains hazardous and unpredictable. Asked about his most frightening moment Carl Fogarty, who holds the lap record at 123.61mph, said: “Well, there was this sheep…”. “AS SCAMS go,” Sara Pearson said, “it was extremely efficient.” The downfall of the England captain Lawrence Dallaglio was meticulously planned by the News of the World with the honey-trap containing an irresistible combination of a pounds 500,000 contract, an attractive blonde and a stream of champagne.

Just when I thought the week couldn’t get any worse, ABC decided to cancel “Ugly Betty.”

The company, which made a profit of about DM2bn (pounds 880m) last year, would vote tomorrow for the abolition of the swaggering currency which stifles its exports. As for those disappearing jobs, he blames high wages, inflated by some of the heaviest taxes in Europe, and the strength of the Deutschmark.His analysis is echoed on the other side of the city, at the headquarters of the pride of German industry, Mercedes-Benz. “The problem is jobs are disappearing faster than we are creating them,” he says.From his vantage point, a palatial residence overlooking Stuttgart, his state seems like Europe’s California, brimming with innovation. It spends a higher proportion of GNP on research and development than Japan and boasts a higher concentration of the industries of the future – software and biotechnology – than almost any other region of the developed world. But Erwin Teufel, Baden-Wurttem- berg’s Christian Democrat Prime Minister, dismisses the recession and the steady erosion of the region’s industrial base as a natural calamity. The other parties, even the Greens, whose line on immigration would best be described as “the more the merrier”, have been forced to concede that the influx of Aussiedler must be curbed. By making this adjustment mid-way through the campaign, they appear to have taken the sting out of the debate, deflecting it back to their own turf.For the Christian Democrats and Free Democrats that is the economy – rather surprisingly, given that the two parties have governed Germany for 13 years and must, therefore, bear some responsibility for record unemployment of 4.3 million.

At election rallies Mr Spori now barely talks about Europe, but spends a lot of time discussing immigration He has scored a few points. Far more effective has been Mr Spori’s call to halt the immigration of Aussiedler, ethnic Germans from eastern Europe. Every year since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Germany has admitted more than 200,000 “resettlers”, mostly from the badlands on Russia’s fringes. Mr Spori says the country cannot afford them: “As long as unemployment rises, we cannot maintain such a policy.”Statements like that, spiked with inflammatory remarks about these immigrants “walking directly into pensions and dole queues”, always get a good reception on the stump. But they have provoked horror among politicians of all hues, including Social Democrats, who suspect Mr Spori of pandering to right- wing extremists.The man in the centre of this furore is unfazed by accusations that he is bringing beer-hall politics back to the Black Forest He knows a winner when he sees one.

If they fail, the party must go back to the drawing board.The answer will come tonight, but on the evidence of opinion polls and the atmosphere at hustings, the cumbersome slogan “Stability and jobs take priority now – so postpone monetary union” has only elicited yawns. That such a person should spring from the loins of the left verges on heresy. Yet there he is, carrying the Social Democrat banner in today’s elections to the assembly of Baden-Wurttemberg on an anti-Europe and, crucially, anti-immigrant ticket.
The leader of the SPD in this affluent state, Mr Spori has conducted an unashamedly populist campaign, playing on voters’ fears of immigrants and anxiety about monetary union. If thesethemes prove to be vote-winners, then the SPD’s national leadership is likely to adopt them in the battle to unseat Helmut Kohl in elections due in 1998. Dieter Spori also professes a profound disdain for Europe and an admiration for many of the themes championed by the Tory right. That Germany, the engine of European integration, should spawn a Eurosceptic with electoral potential is surprising enough. “They talk about the Yankee imperialist dogs from time to time, but they don’t seem to have any problem with us.

Paddy Ashdown’s decision to ditch “equidistance”, and ally the party more closely with Labour, was a masterstroke in opposition – but has flopped in government. The Lib Dems have failed to get a commitment to PR, and their much-vaunted cabinet committee has offered meagre scraps. Without the surprise victory in the Romsey by-election, coupled with Mr Wallace’s successes in Scotland, the Lib Dems would have a dire conference week ahead.Almost forgotten among all these shenanigans is the fourth party in Scotland: the Tories. With their Westminster representation down to zero after 1997, few commentators have been keeping an eye on them.

Under the leadership of David McLetchie, however, Conservatives at Holyrood have scored some useful points – notably in beating the SNP to a motion of no confidence in Mr Galbraith over the exam results humiliation. This is not to say that the Conservatives can expect a massive revival next year, but they are optimistic – and one seat in particular merits attention. Unlike most of his spurned-by-the-electorate colleagues, the former foreign secretary Malcolm Rifkind is trying again for Westminster next time. If – and it’s a big if – he manages to win, he will be a powerful figure in a disheartened party. From his position outside the Shadow Cabinet, Mr Rifkind has been ignored in all the who-will-follow-William speculation.

If Mr Rifkind is an MP after the election, don’t rule him out as the next Tory leader.So the Tories up, the Nats down, New Labour clinging to its Blairite credentials and the Lib Dems pivotal. It is all a far cry from the picture of Scottish politics that just about everyone painted back in 1997. Scottish devolution has been a success for Tony Blair – mainly because it has let down the voters of Scotland.. Food shortages! Troops at the ready! Expecting to return from the south of France to find Britain under siege, I hurried to the market in Antibes on Thursday morning and stocked up on the absolute necessities of life, chiefly a kilo of luscious pink garlic.

(If ever there is a nuclear war, I shall spend my last days under the stairs on a healthy Mediterranean diet.) Thus fortified, I flew home to offer my support to Tony Blair, who suddenly seems to have got over his need to govern Britain by impersonating the most popular boy in the school. Food shortages!

It was a strange experience in France, where the British and their politicians are not universally popular, to follow the crisis at home and discover that Mr Blair was finally standing firm about something. The French prime minister, Lionel Jospin, took a more conciliatory line with his own truckers and has paid for this misjudgement with a catastrophic fall in opinion polls. Yet one of the peculiarities of the French fuel blockade is how normal life seems to have been there, in contrast to scare stories in the British press. When I called my friends in Antibes before leaving London, under the impression I might have to hike from Nice airport to their house with a sack of provisions, they were puzzled.They had not run short of anything, and the only evidence of problems was a slightly longer than usual queue at the local petrol station.
