Clifford 'asked woman to take off her bra in his office'
An alleged victim told a court she went with her sister to see publicist Max Clifford and while she went into his office, her sibling sat outside.

She claims that Clifford asked her to take off her rugby shirt, something that she "wasn't happy about doing."
She told the court Clifford kept trying to persuade her to take off her bra leaving her feeling vulnerable and stupid.

Cameron: EU pledge 'makes no sense whatsoever'
David Cameron has attacked Ed Miliband's EU referendum pledge, saying it makes "no sense whatsoever".
The Prime Minister told reporters on a flight to Israel: "It is not a proposal for an in/out referendum. It is a policy clearly designed by a committee who obviously couldn't agree what to do and have come up with a policy that makes no sense whatsoever."
He added: "It is absolutely clear - if you get Miliband, you don't get a referendum, you don't get a choice.
"It is the classic Labour 'we know best' approach to politics."

ITV News Deputy Political Editor Chris Ship is at Ed Miliband's speech setting out Labour's position on an EU referendum:
So far: Miliband says we need to be IN European Union but it needs to change.

Guardian: Wrong to block release of Charles' letters
A Guardian journalist accused the Attorney General Dominic Grieve of failing to show "reasonable grounds" for blocking the release of letters sent by Prince Charles to government ministers.
The High Court today ruled that Grieve's use of a ministerial veto to stop the letters being published was unlawful but the Attorney General said he will "pursue an appeal."
– A Guardian News & Media spokespersonThe public has a right to know if the heir to the throne is advocating policy or promoting causes to government ministers.
We welcome today's appeal court judgment finding that it was wrong to block the release of the letters.
We hope the Attorney General will recognise he has reached the end of the legal road and that government departments will now publish the correspondence so that the public can judge for themselves.
