The gambler who sued William Hill for letting him gamble has lost his case in the High Court. Briggs J found that William Hill did not owe Mr Calvert, a compulsive gambler, a duty of care. And quite right too.

&#8220;Rather than a Lib Dem Friends of Israel and a Lib Dem Friends of Palestine, couldn’t we just have a single Lib Dem Friends of Peace?&#8221;

Keith Kahn-Harris, writing on The Guardian&#8217;s Comment is Free, expands on why this could be the desirable approach for those outside the Middle East:

		<description><![CDATA[Google avoiding controversy anyone:

With the main roads and towns in Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia showing up on Google Maps, the company has taken the decision merely to mark out the Green Line in Israel &#8211; Palestine, probably in an attempt to avoid endless emails from the two sides disputing the details.

&#8220;A senior Israeli minister has called for the sacking of Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog.
Deputy PM Shaul Mofaz said the Egyptian head of the International Atomic Energy Agency had endangered world peace by neglecting Iran&#8217;s nuclear programme.&#8221;

As the story notes, Israel is a member of the IAEA, but not [...]]]></description>

Complementing the Last Night of the Proms, this film looks at the popularity of one of England&#8217;s favourite hymns and asks, should Jerusalem be adopted as a national anthem?
