Critics warned at the time that once the @placeholder had their own parliament it would put Britain on a slippery slope towards break-up. | By Rob Cooper Last updated at 10:01 AM on 22nd December 2011 Scottish independence: Sir Gus O'Donnell warned today the Union could break up in the next few years Britain could break up within years and Scotland could become an independent nation again, the country's most senior civil servant today acknowledged for the first time. Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell said that whether the union could be maintained would be a major political issue in the years to come. Alex Salmond, the Scottish First Minister, has vowed to hold a referendum on independence before 2016. The SNP won a majority at Holyrood for the first time raising the spectre of the break-up of Britain.

Growing up under communist rule in @placeholder would have had a strong impact on the future chancellor. | Frugal, cold and boring -- those are just some of the words Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel has been called by her peers and the global press days before the German election. So how did a quiet, unassuming fraulein from a small, rural town in the former communist-ruled German Democratic Republic (GDR) become arguably the most powerful female politician of all time? While the constant chatter of fixing the Eurozone has recently abated, the Christian Democratic Union leader was a popular choice for another term with strong approval ratings thanks to securing the country's lowest unemployment rate in two decades. Upon completion of her recently won third term as chancellor, by 2016 she will become the longest-serving elected female head of government in history. The original "Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher, who served Britain for 11 years as prime minister, currently holds this record.

But what makes @placeholder unique, in large part, is its colorful, controversial and powerful leader. | (CNN) -- Moammar Gadhafi's first grab at power occurred 42 years ago in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, when he led a crew of fellow military officers in taking over key government institutions on his way to usurping the nation's monarchy.

They were set free one after another into the night sky, symbolising the breaching of the Wall by crowds of protesters in 1989 and the end of the Cold War.

It happened because @placeholder made weak challenges and showed a lack of commitment in the air. | When footballers surrender the habit of doing even the basics right, you know a team is in trouble. By that rationale, Newcastle United and manager Alan Pardew would appear to be in very deep trouble indeed. This was not a performance to place alongside the capitulation at Southampton just over a fortnight ago. It may be a while before we see the like of that again. At times last night Newcastle kept the ball and spent time in Stoke City’s half. They created half-chances. Right at the death, they could even have equalised. How Jack Colback lifted the ball on to the crossbar from only six yards perhaps even he doesn’t know.

Doomed: The @placeholder royals during their final months before being shot by revolutionaries in July 1918 | By Daily Mail Reporter In the early hours of 17th July 1918, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia was marched into a cellar of a house in Yekaterinburg and mown down by a firing squad. Along with the Tsar, those who were thought to have died that morning included the Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna, his son, Alexei Nikolaevich and his four daughters, Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia. But now a respected Russian historian has now claimed that Anastasia Nikoleavna might not, as previously thought, have perished at all.

They were in no way related to the @placeholder earthquake and subsequent tsunami. | (CNN) -- Two people were killed when unusually large and powerful waves crashed into a cruise ship in the Mediterranean Sea this week. Here CNN Senior Meteorologist Brandon Miller explains the science behind the deadly squall that hit the Louis Majesty as it traveled from Barcelona, Spain to Genoa, Italy. What caused the wave that hit the cruise ship? There was a strong storm moving through the Mediterranean which brought winds gusting well over 100 kph. Winds of this magnitude will result in a very rough sea state and large waves. Buoys nearby recorded significant wave heights (defined as the average of the largest 1/3 of waves over a 20 minute period) over 6 meters. The waves which hit the ship were reported to be between 8-9 meters. This would not be considered a "rogue" wave, as rogue waves must have a height at least double the significant wave height, but it is nevertheless abnormally high. Several factors can contribute to an increase in the size of the wave, including wind direction, ocean current direction, and shape and depth of the sea floor.

details of the Budget’ to assess the future of @placeholder’s AAA rating | By Hugo Duncan PUBLISHED: 11:34 EST, 20 March 2013 | UPDATED: 04:22 EST, 21 March 2013 Britain faces further humiliating downgrades to its credit rating after a lost decade that has seen the slowest economic recovery on record, the Chancellor was warned tonight.

Official figures show real wages are due to fall by 2.4 per cent over the lifetime of this Parliament – seized on by Labour as evidence that the Coalition will leave people worse off at the next General Election than they were in 2010.

Wayne Rooney (left) and Manchester United manager @placeholder (right) | By Adam Crafton Follow @@AdamCrafton_ Manchester United signing Ander Herrera offered a display full of promise in his side’s 7-0 evisceration of LA Galaxy on Wednesday and the statistics reveal that the Spaniard is sure to provide an upgrade on the midfielders that toiled with such difficulty under David Moyes last season. In the dominant victory in Louis van Gaal’s first match in charge of the club in Los Angeles, Herrera earned the man-of-the-match award after a performance of poise and creativity in the United midfield, linking up almost telepathically with his compatriot Juan Mata.
