Atlantic City. Woman of a breast screening in the UK will be giving

has launched its heaviest air raids since it started using water planes

than there this year. The Syrian Observatory for German rates said

the military lodged more than 60 airstrikes around the country. The

suburbs of Damascus were particularly hard hit. The death

has gone missing on an island of the set of fans. The Japanese

company, Hitachi, is expected to announce this morning that it will

take over the planned Horizon nuclear power plant in

Gloucestershire. It will replace the old nuclear power station that

was closed in February after 45 years. The purchase could cost

Petacci more than �500 million. Two German companies had intended to

build the plant but pulled out last week. And after travelling 123

million miles through space, the retired space shuttle Endeavour

goes on display at the California Sign Centre today. It is the last

shuttle to be moved to a permanent museum. It is dried in at two miles

an hour on a trolley, after rushing through space! Now the sports news

with Sally. The FA have launched an investigation into the formal

complaint made by Chelsea against referee Mark Clattenburg - and the

Metropolitan police have also confirmed they've received a

complaint relating to the match. Clattenburg has been accused of

using "inappropriate language" towards John Obi Mikel and Juan

Mata - allegedly of a racial nature - during Chelsea's 3-2 defeat by

Manchester United. The chairman of the players' union says an

independent body should investigate any allegations of racism. If you

have a body that is outside of football and every incident was

reported through this one form line on medium to this body, he then

decided whether it was criminal or whether it was dealt with within

the confines of the industry, they investigated it and on conclusion

was either not guilty or guilty, then everybody would know exactly

where they stand. Manchester United's Wayne Rooney has been

short-listed for FIFA's Balon d'Or - awarded to the World's top player.

The England striker is the only British player among the 23 who've

been nominated - but there are five in all from the Premier League. The

others are his Manchester United team-mate - and Dutch international

- Robin Van Persie, and three from Manchester City. Mario Balotelli is

on the shortlist, along with Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure. The winner

will be announced in January - with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

the favourites. England's cricketers have begin their tour of

India. They're playing India A in their opening Tour Match in Mumbai.

The home side won the toss, and chose to bat first. They're 113 for

3 for lunch - with Tim Bresnan and Graeme Swann among the wickets. The

England team includes Kevin Pietersen, who's back in the side

for the first time since the 2nd Test against South Africa in the

summer. He was dropped after that for sending controversial texts to

the opposition - and criticising former captain Andrew Strauss.

Pietersen's been welcomed back into the squad after a period of re-

integration. It takes a little while to get back into your top

form, but he is an amazing cricketer and playing Twenty20

cricket, he might have been a little bit rusty, but he scored a

good 50 in the semi final. And with a couple of knocks in the prep

games for the tests, I am sure that he will be fine. The match in mom

by is the first of a series of Test matches. Captain Alastair Cooke

admitted it is one of the Harvest Tour's in world cricket. History

suggests how hard it is to come here and win. It has been 30 years

since an England side has done that. That is the challenge ahead. We are

excited about that. We know that it is not going t be easy, but we have

to overcome that challenge. As players, we put ourselves in that

situation because we want to be tested against the best and and are

thus conditions, and this tour of was that. Stuart Robb has been

confirmed as England-based captain for the tour. He has yet to captain

England in a first-class match. UK Athletics have appointed Peter

Eriksson as their new coach, the Swede was head coach of Paralympics

GB this summer. He led them to 120 medals at the London Games. It is

very exciting. It is one of the toughest jobs anyone could ever

have, but I am really inspired because I think it is a great

future for the sport. As you know, we did very well at the Olympic

Games. There will be a good momentum to do even better for the

2016 games. He has the snow excuses policy that he uses, which I really

buy into, it is about getting out there and performing for your

country. He's very proud of the athletes he selects, and he selects

them from the heart, as well as on their performance. It will be about

the Olympic athletes really performing at the highest level.

Richard Whitehead reacting to that report. It is notoriously difficult

for the host nation to go on to the next Olympics. There is always at

the in performance. It happened to Australia. -- a dip in performance.

The superstorm Sandy has brought flooding and heavy rain to the East

Coast and the United States. Millions are without power and many

roads are under water. It is estimated this storm will cost the

country billions of dollars. New York taxi driver Peter Franklin

joins us from the City now. Good morning. How are you getting on?

You never going to leave what I am going to say - I am bored. You come

to New York City either as a guest or resident to go to their museums,

restaurants and nightclubs, go to squash games, hockey games,

football games, that is why you come here. You do not come to sit

around in your apartment doing nothing, because there is no

electricity or anything. There are some people with problems and

damages, but of the 0.5 million people living in New York City, I

would say that 7 million, like myself, our board. We cannot even

leave the city. There are no planes, trains, boats or ships or anything.

We have to talk. How a novel! Can you imagine that? How expensive are

the workers? She Mondays. Because it is a York City, it affects us in

an unbelievable way. We have apartment houses that are so than

deplores tall, so right away, that means how are you going to go, if

the elevators are not working, so you're going to have a fight with

your leaf about who's going to go out and find some milk, if you can

find some milk. Hospitals do not have electricity to keep patience.

It is magnified so many times, because after all, it is New York

City. This is not key West or Iowa. And there would not be any

passengers on the defensive -- passengers on the streets anyway?

Yes, that taxes closed down after the buses and the subway. We were

sitting in the garage and if you said, hey, Peter, let us go for a

cup of coffee, or a bagel, I would say, where are we going? There is

nothing opened. This is not New York's at the right now. This is

just a big sort of retirement village. -- this is not New York

City. We saw a transform a blowing up from the salt water. Have there

been more explosions like that? problem with the salt water is that

it brings everything that it comes into contact with. When you other
