Educational achievement is low given the billions poured in by Labour, with more than one in ten youngsters aged 15 to 19 not in school, training or work. This is the fourth highest rate in the 30 countries, ahead only of Italy, Turkey and Mexico.

It found that public spending on children in Britain is well above average, at more than £90,000 from birth to the age of 18. Family incomes are relatively healthy, too, ranking eighth out of the 30 countries studied. In the United Kingdom . . . each new generation is more likely to find themselves in the same position /in the earnings distribution/ as their parents,' it said.
Britain ranked a poor 20th out of the 30/ in terms of/ children's 'health and safety', with infant mortality rates higher than average and among the lowest numbers of toddlers being vaccinated against measles. On the plus side, the report said that children in the UK enjoy school much more than many of their international counterparts. Bullying is less frequent and teenage suicides are less common in the UK than in most other industrialised countries.

That report cited/ family breakdown, drink, drugs, teenage sex and fear of violence as the issues confronting teenagers

They're both blonde and mothers to toddlers... but the similarities between famous sisters Britney Spears and Jamie Lynn Spears don't stop there.

Enjoying a family day by the pool in Miami yesterday both siblings were showing off their toned= tonique and tanned bikini bodies.

While Britney, 27, had been regularly flaunting = étaler her honed = adouci physique on stage = sur scène and in bikinis in recent months, the more low-key= discret Jamie Lynn, 18, is rarely photographed. The siblings = frères et soeurs wore colourful bikinis as they relaxed poolside = se reposent à coté de la piscine with their children, mother Lynne and father Jamie at the five-star Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Brickell Key.

Unsurprisingly, Jamie Lynn's youthful figure has bounced back/ into shape/ = rebondir en forme after giving birth to daughter Maddie Briann Aldridge in June last year.

Britney and her sons Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two, frolicked in the pool with Jamie and her 14-month-old daughter Maddie.

While Britney's sons were dressed in matching swimming trunks and arm bands, Maddie loloked cute in a fuchsia bikini.

Besides comics, Marvel characters also feature = jouent in movies, animated features = dessin animes, videogames and toys such as action figures.

The agreement drew a thumbs-up from most analysts.

Parents have turned to classic brands like lego during the recession, which has boosted the Danish firm's position in the UK toy market to third.

"The continued strong growth in our classic product lines is particularly encouraging and suggests a demand among consumers for trusted quality, particularly in the current economic climate," said Marko Ilincic, managing director of Lego UK.

The company said that Lego City and Lego Star Wars remain best sellers.

Lego City includes towns, roads, train lines police and fire services all built using the brightly coloured building bricks.

Their latest line, Power Miners, exceeded sales expectations.

Lego has managed to buck= lancer une ruade the trend of weaker performance that has plagued the industry.

They are the only UK toy manufacturer in the top five to show sales growth so far this year.

Lego Group CEO Jorgen Vig Knudstorp said he was optimistic for the future but the company would not be complacent since holiday sales are pivotal for performance.

"As the bulk= volume of toy sales occur during the last few months of the year, considerable uncertainty remains about the full year result,"

Big Brother To Be Axed = canceled, Channel 4 Confirms Investigating magistrates Renaud van Ruymbeke and Francoise Desset ordered Kerviel to answer charges of breach of trust among others before the Paris criminal court

No date has been set for the trial, which is not expected to begin before the end of the year at the earliest.

One of France's three biggest banks, Societe Generale shocked the financial world when it unveiled= devoile losses of 4.9 billion euros . The losses were incurred = engagees when Societe Generale was forced to unwind = relaxer; vider more than 50 billion euros of unauthorised deals Kerviel is said to have made. The bank has said Kerviel was a rogue = fripouille trader who went to great lengths = aller très loin to conceal = cacher his dealings. The 32-year-old trader has countered that his managers knew of his actions and kept silent as long as he was making good returns. Societe Generale's then-chairman Daniel Boutin described Kerviel as a "terrorist and fraudster" who had betrayed the confidence of his managers. He faces a possible sentence of five years in prison and 375,000 euro fine if convicted.

Kerviel's assistant Thomas Mougard who faced charges of complicity has however been cleared and will not stand trial, they added.

"Now rumours are spreading like wildfire that Macaulay, who Jackson nicknamed Mack, is actually Blanket's biological dad." Michael and Macaulay were close friends for years. The child star frequently visited the singer's Neverland ranch - where he raised eyebrows by sleeping in Michael's bed - and took the witness stand to defend him during his 2005 trial for child molestation.

So many names have been mentioned as prospective dads, and this is probably the wackiest= fou fou yet

Patti Levine is under siege. There are the plans to build a sprawling factory on one side of her pristine= vierge desert paradise and proposals for a huge solar power plant on the other. Mexicans are flooding across the border, forcing her to wait for a doctor, and a large chunk of = gros morceau retirement fund has been wiped out on the New York stock exchange.

And now, the country has gone and elected a president who, if you're sitting in the middle of an Arizona country club, looks very much as if he wants to turn the US into the Soviet Union, and worst of all, strip Levine of her guns.

"I have a licence to carry a concealed weapon and when I fly my airplane I take my gun. When you're single and you're 64 years old you gotta be careful. Even here," she says.

Emmerdale

After those dramatic events in Weatherfield and Walford, you may be relieved to know that we get through a week in Emmerdale without anyone dying. Phew. Instead, affairs of the heart take centrestage as Chas cheats on Paddy with old flame Carl.

Despite her vows to stay faithful to the vet, who is away on a course, Chas finds herself back in Carl's arms following Katie's birthday party.

When Carl first makes a move on her, she tells him she isn't interested, however, he won't take 'no' for an answer and jumps to Chas's defence when Nathan later makes a play for her.

Chas is angry at the scene created by Carl, however, her mood changes when he tells her that he never loved Lexi and still has feelings for her.

His words do the trick and she ends up spending the night with him. Full of remorse the next morning, Chas tries to sneak home but finds herself caught out. Is it over for her and Paddy?

Also this week, Michael has a confession for Debbie and Ryan is angry after some surprise news.

EastEnders

There's horror in EastEnders when a clash between Lucas and Trina results in his estranged wife's death.

The events unfold = se revelent after a dramatic week which starts with Trina turning up late/ for Jordan's birthday /and then /getting off her head on drugs/ and smashing his birthday present. She also swears never to give Lucas a divorce.

Trina returns the next day claiming she will disappear for good if Lucas gives her the money she desperately needs to buy more drugs. Lucas turns her down = refuse, however, Trina's claim that he still wants her does appear to strike some kind of chord within him.

Several days later the pair end up sleeping together and Lucas is wracked with guilt afterwards and faces the realisation that his relationship with Denise will be over if the truth comes out = parait.

When he meets Trina again there is an almighty = tout-puissant row and Trina dies. Does Lucas murder her?

Also this week, Zainab moves out= déménage and Charlie returns unexpectedly with a Russian girlfriend.

I CALLED ROUND on my way home but no one was in.

This week, there's heartbreaking news in Coronation Street, Trina dies after a violent confrontation with Lucas in EastEnders and Chas cheats on Paddy in Emmerdale. Find out more...

Coronation Street

There's tragedy for one Weatherfield resident this week when the police come knocking with news of a shock death.

Norris is the unlucky recipient =destinataire of the news and it concerns his brother Ramsay, who dies suddenly/ on his flight/ back to Australia.

The busybody= commere (gets the bombshell = bombe) while he is sulking = bouder at Emily's house as everyone else enjoys themselves at the street fete.

Norris initially (keeps the information to himself) as it slowly sinks in but is forced to tell Rita when she calls round to see if he is alright.

Rita and Emily are both devastated and the pair = pluriel soon turn on Norris because of the way he treated his brother when he was alive. Will Norris be forced to grieve = se désoler alone?

Also this week, Joshua is rushed to hospital after swallowing a bee and things hot up again between Kevin and Molly.

The row over = l’engueulqde sur the release of the Lockerbie bomber has been reignited = rallumé as it emerged that Jack Straw decided two years ago that it was in the UK's "overwhelming interests" not to exclude the terrorist from a prisoner transfer agreement.

The Justice Secretary wrote to his Scottish counterpart explaining that he had changed his mind about the need to exempt Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi from the deal in the light of "wider negotiations" with the Libyans.

Mr Straw strenuously =énergiquement denied that Britain's commercial interests had any bearing = position on the recent release of Megrahi.

Mr Straw's involvement in the case was laid bare in letters he wrote to Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill in 2007 and leaked to The Sunday Times.

Tributes have been paid = hommages to former disc jockey and TV presenter Simon Dee

The Sixties star passed away on Sunday morning at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester. His friend Roger Backhouse, a retired QC, said: "It happened quickly. He was diagnosed with bone cancer.

"He passed away this morning. It's a shock that he has died but he was plainly very ill, in a lot of pain, but he would never let you know."

Dee, 74, whose real name was Cyril Nicholas Henty-Dodd, became a bus driver and lived in Winchester after his television career ended. In his heyday -apogée he interviewed stars like Sammy Davis Jr, Lee Marvin, Bob Hope, Charlton Heston, and John Lennon on his twice-weekly chat show Dee Time.

The show, which opened with the catchphrase "It's Siiiiimon Dee", attracted 18 million viewers.

He compered Miss World, appeared on Juke Box Jury and Top of the Pops and helped launch pirate pop station Radio Caroline.

His daughter Domino Henty-Dodd said her father was diagnosed weeks ago and could not be treated.

Brit teen arrested in huge cocaine bust - démantelé at Peru airport

At a street value of 100 dollars per gram, the haul was worth almost three million dollars.

The 18-year-old woman, Salea Kathun, was detained/ alongside a young Canadian, Katia Carrilho, who was also allegedly holding around 3.5 kilograms (7.7 pounds) of cocaine, after the two were detected by drug-sniffing dogs at Lima's international airport, police said.

Under Peruvian law offenders can expect at least six years in jail under drug trafficking charges.

Peru is the world's second-largest producer of cocaine, after Colombia.
