Lt Gen Sir John Kiszely, one of the retired generals caught in a Sunday Times sting apparently offering to influence Whitehall decisions over arms deals, has resigned from the presidency of the Royal British Legion. He said: "The Legion's work, including Remembrance events, must be kept free of any suggestion that they could be used for commercial or political gain."
2. MALALA FLOWN TO UK FOR TREATMENT
Malala Yousafzai, the 14-year-old anti-Taliban campaigner who was shot in the head by a gunman last week, is to be flown Britain for further medical treatment. The Pakistan army says the cost of the transfer is being met by the United Arab Emirates. The Taliban have threatened to target her again.
