MPs said they had been contacted by a ‘stream of whistleblowers’ and had seen invoices sent out from @placeholder addresses. | By Peter Campbell and Becky Barrow PUBLISHED: 06:52 EST, 16 May 2013 | UPDATED: 18:19 EST, 16 May 2013 Google was accused yesterday of ‘doing evil’ by avoiding British taxes. MPs said the internet search giant – which has the informal motto ‘Don’t be evil’ – used ‘devious, calculated and unethical’ tricks to minimise its liabilities. Last year its UK turnover was £3billion yet it paid just £7.3million in corporation tax. In stark contrast, families lose more than half of their wages to income tax and national insurance.

One statement, dated May 3 and published Sunday on a blog connected with a news agency that often publishes official statements from the FARC, criticized @placeholder for wearing a military uniform and claimed that any journalists embedded with Colombian troops have been painting a biased picture. | (CNN) -- Colombia's president renewed calls for rebels to release a French journalist "as soon as possible" Monday as online statements purportedly from leftist guerrillas provided details about his capture. "I am very pleased to know that the French journalist is in good condition. Now that the (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) have acknowledged that they have him, I call for them to release him as soon as possible," President Juan Manuel Santos said. He said Colombian officials will do whatever they can to guarantee journalist Romeo Langlois' release by the rebel group, commonly known as the FARC. "The Colombian government is willing to provide all the facilities so the release occurs as quickly as possible, but if you really want to be viewed well by the world, release him now and simply tell us where he is and we will go get him," Santos said during a state visit to Singapore.

NATO leaders arriving in Cardiff will have a host of issues to deal with, so what should we expect?

Russian President Vladimir Putin's push in to Ukraine has the 28-nation alliance focused on action -- and that goes double for NATO's new members in the east, including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.
