That gave the impression to most viewers that the 51-year-old veteran reporter was fully clothed in business attire. But a view of the newsreader that briefly flashed onto TV screens as one of the studio’s cameras panned round revealed that he had opted for more informal attire. Ley, who presents the news on BBC radio as well as on the 24-hour news channel, was shown in shorts and trainers while giving viewers an update on the political situation in Israel....

Until a few days ago, Norton seemed destined for a rough, but ultimately successful confirmation. Environmentalists would howl about her ardently pro-industry record (“James Watt in a skirt”) that included opposition to the Endangered Species Act and support for increased logging, mining and oil drilling on public lands. But with John Ashcroft taking most of the bullets from Democrats and liberal interest groups, it appeared that she didn’t have too much to worry about....

The Brazil international has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League side for much of the past 18 months, despite having signed a new five-year contract last October. The forward’s agent, Wagner Ribeiro, claimed last September that he had been tempted by offers from United and Paris Saint-Germain, who were reportedly ready to pay a transfer fee of up to €190million.

The Ligue 1 leaders were dealt a difficult draw against the reigning champions despite topping their group ahead of Bayern Munich as Madrid trailed Tottenham. PSG were infamously dumped out in the round of 16 last season as they coughed up a 4-0 first-leg lead over Barcelona to lose 6-5 on aggregate. But Neymar, who has been linked with a transfer to Los Blancos, believes his side will not fall at the same hurdle this time around....

The Brazil international stunned the football world when he joined Paris Saint-Germain in a record-breaking €222million deal in August.
