Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy will face trial over charges of corruption and misuse of influence, France's financial prosecutor says. The former leader will stand trial over claims he used his influence to secure leaked details of an inquiry into alleged irregularities during his 2007 election campaign. A lawyer for Sarkozy, who was in office from 2007 to 2012, said the former president would be appealing against the decision to send the case to trial. Charges were pressed after investigators used phone-taps to look into separate allegations that the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi funded Mr Sarkozy's campaign. They started to suspect that the 63-year-old had kept tabs on a separate case through a network of informants. Advertisement Mr Sarkozy is alleged to have accepted €50m (£43.8m) from Gaddafi's regime, claims which have been repeated by the dictator's son and French businessman Ziad Takieddine. The amount would be more than … [Read more...] about Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy to face trial over corruption allegations

Women will spend half an hour a week on skin care for their face, but less than five minutes on the rest of their body. Research of 2,000 women revealed 76 per cent place the most importance on looking after their face. Almost a fifth (17 per cent) spend more than 30 minutes a week on facial skin care, but just under five minutes on their legs (41 per cent) and arms (45 per cent). More than a quarter (28 per cent) also spend at least £20 a month on beauty products for their face, compared with just seven per cent spending the same amount on skin care for their legs. Dr Ewoma Ukeleghe, cosmetic and medical doctor and ambassador for Venus, which commissioned the research, said: "I see first-hand just how often people disregard the skin on their bodies and routinely forget to nourish their skin from the chin downwards. What is your view?

VIRAT Kohli could find himself in hot water with the threat of missing the next Test hanging over him. The Indian skipper's cantankerous display on the third day in Chennai in which he has two flashpoints with the umpire's could yet see him up before match referee Javagal Srinath for showing dissent at an umpire's decision. Kohli remonstrated with umpire Nitin Menon after being warned for running down the middle of the pitch and he then had a lengthy argument with both umpires after a review for lbw against Joe Root was turned down as 'umpire's call'. With Kohli having also stood his ground on day one when he was bowled by Moeen Ali, the umpire's may yet strike back at the Indian skipper by laying charges for Srinath to act on. A charge of dissent could result in anything up to four demerit points which would result in a ban on its own, but Kohli already has two points on his record so it would only take another two for him to miss the game in Ahmedabad. Kohli has spent a … [Read more...] about India captain Virat Kohli faces ban from third Test against England
