The leaders of the three main parties have agreed to terms for a series of televised debates during the next general election campaign, it has been announced. The broadcasters BBC, ITV and Sky said that under the terms of the deals they would each be hosting one debate during the campaign. The programmes, lasting between 85 and 90 minutes, will be filmed in front of a selected studio audience and will be broadcast in peak time. It is the first time in British political history that the main party leaders have agreed to take part in a televised debate. Previous attempts to arrange one have always foundered on the reluctance of one or other leaders to risk what they believe is a strong position by taking part. Under the terms of the agreement Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg will appear in each of the debates which will all follow the same format, with around half of the discussion time being themed. The first debate will be produced by ITV with presenter Alastair Stewart; Sky will produce the second presented by Adam Boulton; and David Dimbleby will present the third for the BBC. The BBC and Sky will make their programmes available to other broadcasters simultaneously while ITV will theirs available immediately after transmission. Discussions between the broadcasters and the parties will resume in the New Year to finalise the detailed arrangements. Mr Brown said in an interview with the Daily Mirror that he was looking forward to the debates as an opportunity to expose the differences between the parties. "I think people will then have to make up their minds," he said. "I relish the chance to tell people that you either build on what we have achieved which is to improve public services, create jobs even in difficult times and create a fairer society. Or you can side with those that have policies which are unfair, which would harm jobs, which would deepen the recession and damage public services on the front line."(my view)-SEE"Selected" meaning if you have'Challenging'questions that THEY know they CAN'T answer.....then you "WE"will not let you in......i fucking hate all of them,they can not run...well anything right,even their own wardrobes are awful,they do not tell the truth yet people still vote for them why?..because they hope for change as promised by a party! your all suckers.......they should call these shows"Strictly Come Bullshitting"

The footage was shot from a passing car. While some say it is a ufo, sceptics dismiss the ufo theory and say that if the images were for real, the public would have reported sightings to police - who are making no comment. Another clip filmed during daylight shows a fuzzy grey object on the skyline near Red Square. Sceptics however say that if the images were for real, the public would have reported sightings to police - who are making no comment. This is hot on the heels of the strange spiral blue lights in Norway which authorities claim was simpply a missile test gone wrong

Needles attack on boy was 'revenge'

A Brazilian man has publicly confessed to pushing dozens of needles into his two-year-old stepson, saying in a jail cell interview that he intended to kill the boy out of spite for his wife and didn't think he would be discovered. A Brazilian man has publicly confessed to pushing dozens of needles into his two-year-old stepson, saying in a jail cell interview that he intended to kill the boy out of spite for his wife and didn't think he would be discovered. Speaking to Globo television's Fantastico programme from the north-eastern state of Bahia, 30-year-old bricklayer Roberto Carlos Magalhaes described mixing water with wine to dope the child before he and his lover held the boy down and stuck sewing needles into him. "I did this two or three times a week during one month," Magalhaes said. The boy was too drunk on the wine mixture to cry while he inserted the needles, he said, but felt the pain after the alcohol wore off. "It was truly an unbearable suffering," said Magalhaes. "It was to get back at the boy's mother. I thought the needles would work their way through his body and kill the boy. It was a way to kill without anyone discovering." But the pain led the toddler to complain to his mother, and on December 10 she took him to a hospital where X-rays revealed about 30 needles lodged throughout his body. The boy underwent a five-hour operation in the city of Salvador on Friday to remove four rusty needles that most threatened his life, near his heart and in his lungs. On Sunday doctors said the child is doing well and it is likely he will undergo two more surgeries, the next one on Wednesday at the earliest, to extract needles up to two inches long from his abdomen and spine. Along with Magalhaes, police believe his lover, Angelina Ribeiro dos Santos, was also seeking revenge on Magalhaes' wife. The bricklayer told detectives that dos Santos would enter into trances and give him commands to insert the needles, police inspector Helder Fernandes Santana said. Magalhaes and dos Santos were both arrested, though no charges have yet been filed. They were taken to an undisclosed location for their own protection after a mob threw stones at the police station where they were being held.
