It’s estimated that over 23million households in @placeholder now have digital TV on their main set. | By Ted Thornhill Last updated at 5:30 PM on 14th October 2011 The UK's analogue TV era will come to an end on October 24, 2012, it was announced today. Eighty years from the first experimental broadcasts, the old five-channel system will be switched off for good. The digital television switchover started in 2008, giving millions of viewers extra channels and clearer pictures. There are just four million people left in Britain watching analogue TV, according to Digital UK. All set for the future: The digital switchover has been taking place for the past few years, with 23million households now enjoying multi-channel TV

Until such time they will continue to be picked off by @placeholder's best attacking teams. | It was all going so well for Barcelona. Six games played and no goals conceded. The statistics laughed in the face of critics who said in the summer that once again they had failed to bring in the correct defensive reinforcements. Then they played a team with something approaching a world class forward line and the house of cards came tumbling down. Lucas Moura, Edinson Cavani and Javier Pastore is not the Europe's greatest forward line but it's a good few notches up on the Spanish league teams Barça have played so far and it was too much for a back four made-up of three full-backs (two of them who play like wingers, and one converted into a centre-back) and a holding midfielder, also converted into a centre back.

It's notable that Santorum's breakthrough has come in the GOP @placeholder heartland. | (CNN) -- Rick Santorum is emerging as a tragic hero of American conservatism: so much potential, such bad luck. His victories Tuesday night demonstrate what might have happened if the Republican Right had coalesced around him for the past month instead of the hyperbolic Newt Gingrich. But a counting error in Iowa delayed his momentum, and it's only now that the Republicans are realizing just how good a candidate he can be. Unlike Gingrich, Santorum is more than just an anti-Romney vote. People actually seem to like him, and it might have something to do with those nostalgic sweater vests that he wears. Combined with his old school moralism, he sometimes comes off like a sitcom dad of the "No long-haired hippie is gonna date my daughter!" variety. While Romney's victory speeches are polished tedium, Santorum's sound like they're being shouted angrily at a terrified prom date running for his life down the asphalt drive.

Under these circumstances, Russia's businessmen do not keep capital in @placeholder and panic at the slightest threat. | (CNN) -- The seizure of Crimea has boosted the domestic popularity of Russian President Vladimir Putin to an unprecedented 82%. In the long run, however, the invasion could be the death knell of the Putin regime. Starting a war to solve a domestic problem is now a Russian tradition. The first and second Chechen wars had political motives. Both were intended to distract attention from the consequences of privatization, and the second brought Putin to power. The 2008 invasion of Georgia sharply increased the popularity of Dmitry Medvedev, who was filling in as president for Putin. The earlier acts of aggression, however, did not evoke a strong international response. This time, Russia faces full-scale war if it invades eastern Ukraine and, at the very least, sanctions if it does not withdraw from Crimea. It is ill-equipped to handle either of these challenges.

The topics that "can be sincerely discussed" include easing military tensions, changing a truce treaty to a peace treaty and nuclear matters, according to a statement from the North's National Defense Commission, as reported by the state-run Korean Central News Agency. It left some details -- like where and when the talks might be held -- up to Washington, and insisted U.S. officials should not lay out any preconditions for talks. "(The United States should) not lose the opportunity that is laid out and should actively agree with our resolute step and good intention," the commission said.

The Hobby Lobby craft-store chain is at the center of a @placeholder battle over President Barack Obama's health care law | The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in the case of a hobby-supply store whose owners say the Affordable Care Act is forcing them to act in contradiction with their Christian faith. Hobby Lobby, a chain of 600 craft stores with more than 13,000 employees, took the Obama administration to court because it could face fines of $1.3 million per day – almost $475 million per year – if it fails to offer its workers a health insurance plan that includes a list of 18 contraceptives that the federal government deems 'essential.' Four of those contraceptive methods, Hobby Lobby's founding CEO David Green believes, can end a human life because they prevent the implantation of a fertilized human egg into a woman's uterine lining. They include intrauterine devices (IUDs) and the so-called 'morning after' pill.

'Death to America' was one of the main slogans of the Islamic revolution that year.

Until recently, Jewish @placeholder willing to take the risk of solidarity visits to West Bank Palestinians have been able to use the privilege they have as Jews to minimize violence against Palestinians. | (CNN) -- On September 30, a group of Jewish Israelis from the activist groups Solidarity and Ta'ayush set out on a visit to support the Palestinian al Rifai family in the West Bank. The family's claim to their land has been recognized by the Israeli Supreme Court, but the settlement of Anatot is nevertheless built upon it. Al Rifai family members have faced harassment for years while insisting on their right to access private land. The settlers of Anatot, enraged by the Israeli support of the Palestinian family, violently attacked the family and activists alike. It is all too common that Jewish settlements in the West Bank are built on stolen Palestinian land, and all too common that Palestinian farmers are prevented from cultivating and collecting their rightful harvest anywhere near these settlements. In 2007, in a report based on the government's own statistics, the Israeli group Peace Now showed that the majority of settlements are wholly or partially constructed on private Palestinian land. Regardless of what kind of land they are built upon, settlements are illegal under international law and contrary to U.S. policy.

@placeholder coach Cockerill is dismayed by the comments and claims they have sullied Castrogiovanni's standing | It took seven years for Martin Castrogiovanni to build his cult-hero status at Welford Road but Richard Cockerill believes the Italian’s six-minute outburst has damaged his legacy and made him look like a ‘fool’. Castrogiovanni, now at Toulon, launched an expletive-laden attack at his former boss after Sunday’s 25-21 defeat by Leicester. It was in response to claims that he left the East Midlands club for a pay rise but Cockerill, who has a history of using explicit language, questioned the underlying reasons behind the tirade ‘He’s made a little bit of a fool of himself,’ said Leicester’s director of rugby (below). ‘It was a great game of rugby, a titanic battle between two big clubs, unfortunately overshadowed by a premeditated and personal attack on me and the club.

That was the question following a new message, purportedly from the terrorist group, that pushed Jordan to bring convicted terrorist Sajida al-Rishawi to the Turkish border by 5:30 p.m. (9:30 a.m. ET). If they didn't, according to the message, Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kassasbeh would be killed, followed soon thereafter by Kenji Goto of Japan. For days, Jordanian officials have said they're willing to swap al-Rishawi for al-Kassasbeh. Government spokesman Mohammed al-Momani reiterated as much late Thursday afternoon, about an hour before the purported deadline. He said Jordan is not about to pull off a deal yet, having received no proof that its pilot is still alive.

"I want to say how appalling it is for @placeholder to come forward and say 'let's (push $287 billion) unpaid for.'" | Washington (CNN) -- House Republicans, who fervently pound the podium against the deficit, didn't blink Friday at passing a whopping $287 billion business tax cut measure with no effort to pay for or offset that amount. GOP lawmakers argued the bill helps the economy, but budget-watching organizations outside Congress proclaimed it an irresponsible move. The 258-160 vote marked one of the largest unpaid-for measures passed by the House in years, but was also the latest sign that tax cuts are at the center of the Republican universe and the ballyhooed deficit fight is not on the same level as a priority.
