AnswersAnswers
  1. It's Andy Murray, at the Burberry show. If you don't believe us, here's the evidence...
  2. It was Kennedy, who said her departure from Radio 2 had been her own decision, adding: "I got up for 17 years on orange juice or water." Mr Cowen this week vowed to continue in office after rejecting allegations he'd been drunk on the radio. Moyles stood by his breakfast rant about pay. There is no suggestion he'd been drinking.
  3. It's Mr Obama who, according to a new book by veteran journalist Bob Woodward, said one year ago he did not want to commit too much to the war. Lopez was unveiled as a replacement for Simon Cowell. Betancourt spoke about her time in captivity in Colombia.
  4. It's Glasgow, where city chiefs have hit back at the claims, made in a Thomas Cook guide book. Residents of Denny in Stirlingshire accepted an eyesore-of-the-year award in the hope it will revive redevelopment plans. In Blackpool, a man said he was thrown out of a hotel after giving it a bad online review.
  5. It's banking. The Institute for Works of Religion is the official name for the Vatican bank. Police have seized $30m from a Vatican bank account and are investigating two top bank officials. The Vatican says the problem is due to a simple misunderstanding.
  6. It's Marr, who said sorry to drivers after 15 tonnes of his latest book blocked a road. Ms Dikshit has taken control of the Delhi site and is guaranteeing action. Business Secretary Mr Cable said, in his speech, "Capitalism kills competition".
  7. It is approximately equal to 3.14159265.
