query: They were first employed by @placeholder and then by his company, he said. entities: CNN, Charles Saatchi, Elisabetta Grillo, Ex-aides Francesca, Francesca, Italian, Lawson, London, Nigella Lawson, Saatchi passage: London (CNN) -- Charles Saatchi, the millionaire ex-husband of celebrity chef Nigella Lawson, said Friday he believed his ex-wife had taken drugs but had no evidence of it, as he testified at the trial of two former assistants accused of fraud. The former assistants, Italian sisters Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo, deny embezzling hundreds of thousands of pounds on company credit cards. Allegations of drug use by Lawson were made in a pre-trial hearing for the case earlier this week, when an e-mail sent by Saatchi to Lawson in October was read out by the defense. In the e-mail, Saatchi wrote that the assistants would likely "get off" because Lawson was using cocaine and marijuana on a daily basis and "allowed the sisters to spend whatever they liked." Charles Saatchi says he never saw Nigella Lawson take drugs but he believes she did. Saatchi says he did not authorize more than $1 million in spending by the accused. Ex-aides Francesca and Elisabetta Grillo deny embezzling money from Saatchi, Lawson. Representatives for Nigella Lawson have not commented on the drugs claims

That tends to fill one's day with acting in Oscar-winning films, dropping into the occasional SNL sketch, hosting a golf tournament, sometimes going to the Marine Corps Ball and being engaged to Jessica Biel. It's a busy life, which is why our eyebrows raised when we saw these quotes from a producer named Jim Beanz, who claims to be working with Timberlake on a series of songs for a "crazy" new album. Considering JT's stature and the types of people he has worked with in the past, why would he hook up with a dude nobody has ever heard of?

Garner's most cherished roles shared, to varying degrees, a bent gallantry that saw little need to advertise or flaunt itself before others. In his entry on "The Rockford Files"-- the 1974-80 TV series in which Garner played a perennially, often unjustly besieged private detective living in a trailer -- Gene Sculatti's "The Catalog of Cool" summed up "Gentleman Jim's beat message: Very few expenditures of energy are worth the effort. Like Zen, man." Gene Seymour: James Garner won a devoted following playing the coolly principled coward. He was noted for "Rockford Files" and "Maverick," in which he played reluctant do-gooder.

The jingoistic crowd was screaming when the portly batsman Virender Sehwag was dismissed in the game between the Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils in an Indian Premier League (IPL) semi-final game in 2008. That Sehwag was one of India's leading players of the decade apparently didn't matter. The spectators were delivering their ultimate insult: Telling him to go back to the staid version of the Indian domestic circuit, the Ranji Trophy. The crowd IPL attracted was different from the traditional Anglophile test cricket fan. They were raucous, participative and young. They were happy to see legends succeed, and happier to see them fail if they played for rival teams. The fans were united -- and partisan. The Indian Premier League has exploded into a brand estimated to be worth more than $3 billion. The IPL's rise is in part due to its Americanized style -- but has not been without hiccups. To understand how big the league became, one has to go back through history. Now, it is time to reflect whether cricket's soul is now no longer English, but American

The year is 1973: The Cold War is raging around the world, and Britain's security apparatus is split into two branches: MI5 for domestic operations (much like the FBI) and the Secret Intelligence Services, aka MI6 (the CIA equivalent). It's not really that simple, but go with it. "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy " is adapted from John Le Carré's 1974 novel. The film is a spy thriller set during the Cold War in 1973. The action involves one of Britain's security forces, MI6

However, exactly 400 years ago, on August 21, the horror was all too real, as the life of the most prolific female mass murderer of all time -- a noblewoman by the name of Countess Elizabeth Bathory -- came to a grim end. It's not an anniversary they're likely to celebrate in Cachtice, where Bathory's reign of terror still haunts locals, but for some -- me included -- there's a strange fascination. In the lovely Slovakian town of Trencin, my friend Martin and I are joined by two guides, Ivan Kralik and Peter Pastier, who work in the local tourism office. It's unknown exactly how many girls the Blood Countess tortured and killed. Reports range from 100 to 650 victims. She was never convicted of her crimes but was kept under house arrest in Cachtice Castle. The Bathory name is now a brand of surprisingly excellent wines called "Bathory Blood"

Palace co-chairman Steve Parish is considering Pardew — along with Hull chief Steve Bruce and other British managers — as a replacement for Neil Warnock. One of the biggest stumbling blocks is the £5million compensation fee in Pardew’s contract. Alan Pardew is the bookmakers' favourite to take over from Neil Warnock at Selhurst Park. Alan Pardew is considering a return to Crystal Palace as manager. The Premier League club are looking for Neil Warnock's successor. Pardew is the bookmakers' favourite for the Selhurst Park job.

Police arrested Aubry, 37, and charged him with misdemeanor battery, but he insisted he was not the aggressor in the fistfight, which sent him to a hospital. Berry, 46, and Aubry have been engaged in a bitter legal fight over custody of Nahla since their five-year romance ended in 2010.

She has spoken to local groups about how to move on after a traumatic experience, celebrated the passage of a national Amber Alert law for missing and abducted children, and offered advice to another alleged kidnapping victim, Jaycee Dugard. In October 2009, Smart drew a general outline of her experience at a hearing to determine whether her accused captor, Brian David Mitchell, 57, was mentally competent to stand trial.

No, one of them is not a Facebook Phone. "The phone just doesn't make any sense," said a smiling but adamant Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg when asked whether he was working on the mythical Facebook smartphone. The rumor that the social network is working on a physical phone has been bouncing around for years.

It was one of two simple goals scored by Oribe Peralta which allowed the Mexicans to command a game which was littered with defensive errors by the Brazilians. Brazil could have pulled off a comeback when Hulk scored in injury time and Oscar missed the equalizer with seconds to go. Peralta's record-breaking first goal after just 29 seconds of play was an early example of what was to come. Brazil's defenders made the first of many poor clearances and the striker just accepted the ball outside the Brazilian area to shoot for goal in the bottom corner of the net with a low drive. Defensive errors from Brazil allowed Mexican Oribe Peralta to score two easy goals. Brazil missed a late opportunity to draw in normal time and miss out on a gold medal again. Peralta's goal is the fastest scored in the Olympics, but not the fastest scored at Wembley. A near capacity 86,162 people came to see the Olympics final at London's Wembley Stadium

In the tumultuous mid-1800s, right before the Civil War, some political activists were concerned about keeping slavery from spreading into new western territories, and they saw no way to stop it through existing political powers: the Democrats and the Whigs (the pro-Congress party of the mid 1800s that largely destroyed itself in the 1852 elections in a battle over slavery). So they formed a new party, taking the name "Republicans" in a salute to earlier American politicians. Republicans emerge as an anti-slavery party in 1800s. Abraham Lincoln was party's first president. GOP got name Grand Old Party from a Chicago newspaper

That campaign was doomed to never get going, for Carroll. He came back, scored a couple, missed the World Cup and was injured again.

It is critical the House of Representatives and Senate work together to send a strong and unified message that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is unacceptable, and take quick action to punish President Vladimir Putin. While we are both relatively new to Washington, we've been here long enough to realize that our divided Congress isn't good at "quick action" or "unified messages." Yet we also recognize that the roots of Russia's actions last week to invade and control Crimea are complex, and they predate President Barack Obama's tenure. This challenge is truly bigger than our partisan divides. Rubio and Cotton feel the U.S. response on Ukraine should transcend "partisan divides" They say Congress should support sanctions, implement a trade embargo. Consider restricting imports of natural gas and cutting off Russian banks, they say. They argue that similar actions will proliferate around the world if steps aren't taken now

They called for understanding and tolerance and said religious freedom, one of America's most cherished values, is at stake in the controversy that has gathered steam in the past few weeks. "Such intolerance, in this country of all places, breaks my heart and I believe it breaks the heart of God," said the Rev. Anne Felton Hines of the Unitarian Universalist Church. A group of Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders urge Americans to rise above the shouting match. This "breaks the heart of God," says a Unitarian Universalist minister.

The USA, by contrast, were publicly melting down as recriminations began to fly over the reasons for their latest dismal failure. Europe’s overnight lead of 10-6 was extended to a final tally of 16½-11½, with McIlroy thrashing Rickie Fowler to put Europe’s first point of the day on the board and McDowell coming from three down against Jordan Spieth for the second. Tom Watson has seen his leadership of the US team at the Ryder Cup criticised by one of his players. Phil Mickelson felt Tom Watson should have replicated the tactics of 2008. Mickelson is a veteran of 10 Ryder Cups and was disappointed this time. In 2008 Paul Azinger's imaginative captaincy guided US to victory. At Gleneagles, Europe dominated the foursomes to crush the Americans. Watson admitted the US were woeful in the foursome format. Mickelson felt that Watson got major tactical choices wrong. On the other hand, Paul McGinley got big decisions right to claim the win. Watson admits that the European's 'kicked our (US) butts'

ATK, Alliant Techsystems, has for 30 years built space shuttle booster rockets at its plant in Promontory, Utah. The company has just announced it plans to build a rocket to take astronauts to the international space station. ATK says it will offer NASA launch services to the station using a new rocket called Liberty. Kent Rominger, former space shuttle astronaut and now ATK's program manager for Liberty, said, "We will be the safest vehicle on the street to carry a crew." The entrance of ATK into the commercial crew arena clearly signals an intense fight for NASA dollars and contracts to fly crews to the space station. Is this now a commercial space race? "Absolutely yes," Rominger said. ATK announces plans for rocket to take astronauts to space station. Space X has already been awarded a NASA contract to fly cargo to station. Space X says it can start transporting astronauts to station by 2015. Each company says its system is NASA's best bet for crew transport

What Brendan Rodgers quickly realised is that there was probably no one that could. And therefore against Southampton at Anfield he had to adapt - changing last season's hugely successful system to make up for the loss of his £75million striker. Daniel Sturridge, cut loose from his familiar partner, worked as a lone striker. Raheem Sterling went wide on the left while Philippe Coutinho took his place on the right with a license to move inside. Rickie Lambert had to settle for a spot on the bench. Last season's player of the year joined Barcelona in £75million deal. Brendan Rodgers has spent big to replace the Uruguayan's big influence. Manager went with experience in the forward positions vs Southampton. Raheem Sterling started wide on the left with Philippe Coutinho in No 10 role. Daniel Sturridge was deployed as a lone striker - a change from last season. Sterling gave Liverpool the lead after 23 minutes latching on to Jordan Henderson's smart through ball that cut through Southampton. Coutinho looked lost out on the right as Liverpool struggled to create. Sturridge scored the winner latching on to Sterling's header in the box.

query: The @placeholder claims it catches 8,000 would-be illegal migrants in lorries in northern France each year. entities: Border Force, Britain, Calais, Channel, French, UK passage: On their way? new arrivals in the French port of Calais The UK has abandoned identity checks on illegal immigrants trying to sneak into the country from Calais. In a huge security downgrade, Border Force officials no longer photograph or fingerprint immigrants found stowing away in lorries at the Channel ferry port. Instead, they are handed to French police, who free them, enabling them to try again and again until they succeed. The scrapping of fingerprinting means that if the migrants reach Britain and apply for asylum under a false identity, claiming to be refugees, immigration officers have no way of identifying them as having previously tried to enter Britain illegally. As a result, they cannot expose their new identity as fake. Huge security downgrade gives illegal immigrants endless chances. French police free them allowing them to try to enter Britain again and again. Critics describe loophole as 'disturbing' and call for it to be closed
