"It can only do that where the people involved can speak freely and frankly, and people can be questioned on sensitive aspects of national security." He was warned that it would be seen by many as proof that, despite his stated purpose to raise a fresh honest and exposed government, he only cannot break away from other habits. Quite something from such an esteemed whitehall project and vital ammunition for those now pressing for Brown to cause a u-turn and open the question up, at least partially, to the public. Gordon Brown has already rejected calls from ed Balls, one of his closest cabinet allies, to open up up the planned iraq war question to greater public scrutiny. The prime minister was informed us if he kept the question closed and insisted it would be published only after the following election, the probe would make him more harm than good. Senior study figures experience put pressure on the Prime Minister to make the question more open. The Lords debate will be fascinating and will serve as a gauge of legislative opinion. The declaration of an inquiry was supposed to get been part of the prime minister's fightback. The former cabinet secretary, who is the beginning of the end official report into the iraq war, will accuse the regime of "putting its political interests ahead of the national interest", the BBC said. The BBC said Lord butler will knock ministers for failing to describe the agreement of the opposition companies and approval of parliament for the rank, remit and format of the question contrasting their approach with that taken by margaret thatcher when she set up the Franks inquiry into the Falklands War. If he does not back down, this one will form and build until he does. Political editor Nick robinson said that the former cabinet secretary will debate in the Lords that there should be a public element to the latest question, which is to be chaired by one of those who sat on his own question- senior civil servant servant sir can Chilcot. Butler was in charge of the last inquiry into iraq– which focused on the habit of intelligence– and so knows better than most what can usefully be heled in public and what ca not. General sir Mike jackson, a late head of the General Staff USA, said that the inquiry could have some evidence in public. Aviation Marshal sir can Walker, a former principal of defense intelligence, said: "There is only one reason that the inquiry is being heard in private and that is to protect past and present members of this Government.

Hazel Blears, the former communities secretary, voluntarily paid more than 13,000 pounds sterling last month after avoiding the tax on the sale of 2 london flats. Mps were also given several weeks to inspect the documents and black out information they think should be withheld. Maurice Frankel, of the drive for freedom of information, said that the release today was a "very poor substitute" for the unedited material. Over the past 6 weeks, The Daily Telegraph has disclosed how senior ministers to backbenchers take consistently milked the expenses system. The House for commons is due to publish extensive details of the expense takes made by every mp on Friday. It would have been "fairly simple" for sufficient information to be given so people could tell whether mps were "flipping".

"I wanted to make it clear that we will take an extremely sceptical view of any future contractual arrangements on ID cards that appear to have been put in place simply to tie the hands of a future Government." In a letter to executives from the contracting houses, Mr Grayling wrote: "I urge you to consider very carefully your future involvement in the ID Card project." Chris Grayling, the dark house secretary, has written to 5 firms working on id cards to warn them that a Conservative authorities would cancel the project and end existing contracts. The cards are already being given to foreign subjects and will be extended to people living in manchester later this year. Mr Grayling said he would be "delighted" if his warning put former companies off seeking id card contracts. Shadow home secretary writs to companies contracted to develop id cards saying Conservative would cancel scheme. He said: "We intend to scrap the ID card project as one of our first acts if we are successful at the election. But on Tuesday Mr johnson said the task which was remained "on progress". Ministers receive said chiping the cards would cost 40 pounds 1,000,000. "It is normal and fully within Government guidelines to include break clauses in contracts of this kind," said a spokesman. The tories are uping the ante on identity cards amid growing doubts complete Labour's own purpose to fit ahead with the multibillion pound scheme. Uncertainty over the political future of id cards has already led some major firms to walk away gone from potential contracts, and the tories are hoping to carry earlies to abandon the project too. A family post spokesman said: "It is normal and fully within Government guidelines to include break clauses in contracts of this kind. The house station confirmed that penalty clauses are in place. Accenture and IBM, major IT companies, last year said they would not bid for id card work. Despite the political tension, some parties remain keen to be involved. The Conservatives take formally warned companies working to construct the governing's id poster system that their contracts will be torn up if Labour loses the next election. Overall, the family power has allocated 4.70 pounds 1,000,000,000 for contracts linking to id cards and a new generation of biometric passports over 10 years. Many Labour mps think Gordon Brown could abandon the project later this year. Alan johnson, the young home plate secretary, has said he will stick to Labour's manifesto commitment to enter a card system during this parliament, but has made clear there will be no commons vote on making the cards mandatory this side of a general election. Criticism of the task continues, with many senior figures from law enforcement, security and the police questioning its value. Lord Steyn, a previous police lord, earlier this week said that the scheme is "unnecessary", un-British and should be scrapped.

In his Mansion sign language tonight, Mr Darling is likely to emphasise house government, rather than new institutions, as the best way to keep financial calamity in the future. His attack will be in contrast to the us initiatives to be announced later today which include Modern offices, young institutions and regulatory bodies. Chairman Obama will today announce sweeping reforms of the us financial organization including a fresh regulatory agency way, Modern forces for the Fed Reserve and a Modern supervisory council to monitor risk and prevent a recurrence of the fiscal 1 which caused last year's market collapse. The root-and-branch reform of the us financial organisation is to be announced today prior to a speech by Alistair Darling to the City for london when the Chancellor of the exchequer will outline the lessons of the financial crash and and criticise the behaviour of bankers. The us president is offering a fiscal services supervision council led by the exchequer department which will oversee the entire us financial system.

"AC Milan thanked the man and the great champion Kaka for his decisive contribution to the many victories achieved in the six years of his commitment "The loss technique, while serious, can be remedied. "It will be very difficult to fill the void that will be left by Kaka, a shining example of professionalism, commitment and professionalism. "AC Milan, (according to) the wishes of the managers, players and supporters of the Rossoneri, offer him the most cordial and affectionate wishes for the continuation of his sporting career." That is currently the preserve for barcelona and manchester united and, Kaka now hops, Real. A coach's dream then. However there have also been problems. The beauty of his football is its simplicity. Little wonder that when manchester city drew up their stellar list of world stars last year, it was Kaka's name which came out on top. The examination took place at the squad's base in recife. Kaka will be paid more than 8 pounds sterling 1,000,000 a year, consolidating his position as the world's best-remunerated footballer. If the circumstances were out of the ordinary then they are in keeping. For Kaka, who will now be at the vanguard of a young era of Galacticos, will inherit the No 5 shirt once worn by Zinedine Zidane. After the medical, Kaka is potential hold his first pressure conference as a Real madrid player, said another Spanish paper, Marca. Kaka, the 2,007 world and European player of the year, would be the first major signing by Perez since he returned as president on June 1 vowing to win Real "the best club of the 21st century." Biggest transfer deal in history of football has been completed with Kaka moving from milan to Real madrid for 56 mPounds. "The Brazilian team's technical staff agreed to a request from Kaka and the directors of Real Madrid and released the player to undergo routine exams at a clinic in Recife," said that the statement. He scored 16 goals in just 31 appearances this season. And a club's too. That is apt as it is the frenchman's transportation book from Juventus to Real of 47 pounds sterling 1,000,000, from 2,001, that has been broken. However there are early causes, beyond his outrageous talent, that mark Kaka out as different. His religious faith is well documented. When he scores, Kaka thrusts his arms heavenwards in gratitude. When brazil won the World Cup in 2002, and again when milan triumphed in the Champions League final of 2,007, he revealed a t-shirt which was emblazoned with the words: "I belong to Jesus." Unlike early Brazilian stars who had honed their skill in the favelas shanty-towns, Kaka– full name ricardo Izecson dos santos Leite– was born into a comfortable middle-class place in brasilia. "When I was small, I really was small," he has said, recalling his difficult childhood. "The doctors told me my body was about two years behind in terms of development." The Spanish guild announced on their website shortly before midnight on Monday that the 27 -year-old Brazilian had agreed a 6 year contract. Despite Carlo Ancelotti's undoubted achievements in milan, which deliver convinced Roman Abramovich he is the man to match Chelsea's ambitions, the Rossoneri take only fitfully been capable of capturing the imagination. It is not just Kaka's gifts that set him apart even if, at 27 and seemingly in his prime, he is not usually mentioned in the same breath as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Andres Iniesta when it comes to appraising the world's better players. However that is more a product of the team he has worked for. He had to move. Injuries to his left hand foot and knee hand taken their toll on the Brazilian since he was called Fifa's World footballer of the year and won the Ballon d'Or in 2007 but have not dulled his talent or the value in which he is heled. He works in that crucial area between midfield and behind a main striker and can create as good as finish. He rarely dribbles, and does not go in for showy tricks and prefers to be more direct in his running. That was also largely driven by the 1 which compared to Ronaldo, Messi, Fernando torrs or, at that stage, carlos Tevez, he was the most attainable. When he received the Fifa award he flew back home to sao paulo, where it was given pride of place of place at the headquarters of the evangelical movement he follows. He has regularly tithed a portion of his earnings to his church and while his pet book is the bible, his favorite lot is a gospel stone group called Resgate, "redemption" in Portuguese. Bosco, his father and agent, who travelled to madrid last week with milan vice-president Adriano Galliani to negotiate the transfer, moved the house to sao paulo when Kaka was 7. Kaka was born with the eye condition condition myopia and a rare bone deficiency and, 8 years ago, he suffered what appeared to be a dreadful back wound in a swimming-pool accident. He was put on on a special diet programme and eventually filled out while he has had laser surgery to set his vision.
