England match ban for village pub
A pub has been banned from screening England's World Cup
games following complaints from villagers about post-match noise and disorder.
The Queen's Head in Scissett, near Huddersfield, must also close at 2000 GMT
on Friday and Saturday nights unless bouncers are on the door. West Yorkshire
Police applied for a closure order under the Licensing Act following complaints
from neighbours. But they said the pub could stay open if the licensee agreed to
conditions.
A police spokesman said door staff would keep under-age drinkers
away from the pub on Friday and Saturday nights and prevent customers from
leaving with their drinks and creating a noise nuisance outside. He said they
would also carry out random drug searches. "There has been a large number of
complaints from nearby residents. This is a village pub and the police have
stepped in the ensure it is run properly," he added. "The licensee is working
very hard and we are content to work with her to bring the pub up to a standard
so it does not interfere with people's daily life." If the pub fails to stick to
the conditions, which will be reviewed within a month, it could be closed down.
The pub's solicitor, Andrew Gold, said the owners Enterprise Inns, and licensee
Kerry Barnes were in talks with police to avoid any more problems.

stars and legends. The musical heritage and treasures of America will dissipate
for ever, unless, conscientious historians bother to record memorable events
from the history of entertainment, the ups and downs in the careers of stars of
the era, and above all, the meaningful contributions of pioneers to the world of
music. This is the duty of responsible historians.

World Cup big screen blown over
London- A huge TV screen showing England's World Cup games
in the centre of Birmingham has been blown down and smashed to pieces in high
winds. The 60m-square high-definition digital screen at the Fan Park at
Millennium Point was tipped over on Tuesday afternoon. Thousands of fans are due
there later to watch the England v Sweden game. Nearly 3,000 football fans
turned up last week to see England's match against Trinidad and Tobago.
The screen is held up by scaffolding, and the area surrounding it
had already been cordoned off because of fears about it collapsing in the high
winds. David Nelson, who was filming for the council at Fan Park, said: "I was
setting my camera up and everyone was looking at the screen and thinking 'that
is going to go'. "There were groans around the ground when it fell. It is all
twisted scaffolding now." A spokesman for Birmingham City Council, which is
organising the screening of World Cup games at Fan Park, said an assessment is
being made about whether tonight's England game can be screened. Fans are
charged £3.50 to watch England games at the park.
