Woolwich killer named as Michael Adeboloja: both attackers known to MI5

standard.co.uk — Former classmates of Michael Adeboloja told the Standard how he started becoming interested in Islam aged 15 or 16 having been raised as a Christian. They said his Nigerian parents became so worried about his behaviour that they moved him from their home in Romford to London in a bid to protect him from being radicalised.

Is this why you can’t buy your first London home?

standard.co.uk — In the summer of 2011, at an internal presentation by the directors of a major London estate agent, the staff were told about a strategy that promised to improve the bottom line. The plan, and its like at other firms, would have implications for the capital's home hunters and sellers to this day.

The Oldie and Miles Goslett get gong for Savile scoop

standard.co.uk — The story was rejected by seven other papers. Oddly there is still no mention on the BBC website that Liz MacKean and Merion Jones, producers of the Newsnight report on the Savile scandal which was dropped by BBC2, were joint winners. I hope this is not another example of suppression.

The deadly medicine of austerity - how the cuts are killing people around the world

standard.co.uk — After three years of deep cuts, few Britons would dispute that austerity is painful - whether or not they share ministers' belief that it is the cure for our economic ills. But David Stuckler and Sanjay Basu's claim is more shocking: that such policies are literally killing us, and that the Government knows it.

They asked me to name my price: how Abigail Tarttelin went from waitress to hot young author with a £100,000 advance

standard.co.uk — It's clear you have written a good book when a publisher calls up and asks you to name your price. When it happened to 25-year-old Abigail Tarttelin, who had never earned more than the minimum wage as a waitress, she had no idea how to respond.

Carb-on-carb: the Japanese noodle dog

standard.co.uk — I sniggered when I saw them. A fortnight ago I was in Tokyo on a food trendspotting mission whereupon I found yakisoba pan - noodle buns - in every convenience store. Indeed, nestling on a shelf among white bread sandwiches stuffed with red bean paste and kiddies' lunchbox treats was some sort of confusing carb fest: a cellophane packet containing a hot dog roll filled with dark brown noodles.
Here is something I've written on the slightly mad hot-dog-cum-noodle-buns that I found in Tokyo a few weeks ago standard.co.uk/lifestyle/food…

Roy Hodgson's warning: No anti-IRA songs at Wembley
