The cases of 4 parliamentarians in Britain are being referred to prosecutors¹ in connection with the scandal over excessive expenses claims by politicians. The 4 have not been named, but the police say they included members of both the House of Commons, and the House of Lords. Rod Watson reports.

The expenses scandal has now taken another turn. The police say they’ve delivered files of evidence on 4 parliamentarians to prosecutors. It will now be for the prosecution² service to decide whether they will press charges. But the very fact, the files have been handed over suggests the police feel potentially at least, there’s a case to answer. So the prospects³ of an MP or a member of the House of Lords having to appear in court, it’s now a step closer.

Anti-fraud police in Nigeria have set a 2-week deadline for some of the country’s wealthiest people to repay money they borrow from the banks. The police say they’ve acted because many debtors⁴ failed to keep their earlier promises to pay back the money. Carron Deaphil reports from Lagos.

This new deadline is the latest attempt by Nigeria’s anti-fraud police to claw back billions of dollars owed to banks here. This summer, Nigeria central bank performed an emergency rescue of 9 financial institutions that were close to collapse⁵. It had nothing to do with the global financial crisis, and everything to do with corruption⁶ in Nigeria. One reason for the bank’s cash crisis was that wealthy customers, who have taken out huge loans, were failing to pay them back.

The report indicate the Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation will be paid to remove its material from the Google search engine, and put it instead on Microsoft’s own news service Bing.

One of the great freedoms afforded by the Internet is free news. However, many news organizations and papers like news corporation’s “Wall street Journal” make their money from selling news. These publishers have been struggling to find ways to sell their output online. News papers everywhere are suffering from falling sells. And search engines like Google are often criticized for putting these publishers’ material online, where they can be read for free. Proposals by Microsoft to pay newsproviders to leave Google will be welcome by publishers especially if this started a trend among other search engines.

与英国议会报销丑闻相关的4名议员的案件被提交给检控人员。警方没有披露这四人的姓名，但是表示包括议会下院和上院的议员。Rod Watson报道。

新的期限是尼日利亚反腐警察为了追回银行贷款而进行的最新努力。今年夏季，尼日利亚中央银行对濒临破产边缘的九个金融机构实施了紧急救助。这与全球金融危机没有任何关系，而完全是由于尼日利亚的腐败问题。这些银行现金危机的一个原因就是获得巨额贷款的富豪顾客未及时偿还贷款。

据报道，微软将付款给世界最大的新闻大亨，以获得其新闻内容的独家转载权，这将意味着网络新闻免费历史的终结。该报道指出，梅铎新闻集团将接受付款，然后将其新闻内容从谷歌搜索引擎删除，而发布在微软自有新闻服务“必应”上。Ronice Smith报道。

因特网提供的一个最大的自由就是免费新闻。然而，许多新闻组织和报纸，例如新闻集团的“华尔街时报”则通过出售新闻来赚钱。这些出版商一直努力寻找在网络上出售其新闻的方法。各地的新闻报纸都遭遇着销量下滑。谷歌等搜索引擎通常因将报纸内容发布在网上供读者免费阅读而受到批评。微软向新闻供应商付款以使他们离开谷歌的提议将受到出版商的欢迎，尤其是，如果这个趋势也能发展到其他搜索引擎。

在伦敦南部汽车站将Shon Shalice Jomanasis击毙的武装警察错误地将他认作Hussain Osman。此前一天，Hussain Osman试图炸毁火车之后逃逸。出现在法庭案件调查中的警察的照片就是那名要求处理新的从未见过的时间的警察。怎样处理在逃的自杀式爆炸失败者？关于监管措施，关于怎样处理错误的杀害无辜者，都还有许多问题需要沟通。
