LEADIN

The Duchess of Cambridge has given birth to a baby boy.

The new member of the House of Windsor , and the third in the line to the throne, enters the world as the sun moves from the astrological star sign of Cancer into Leo.

STORYLINE

The new royal baby straddles the signs of sensitive Cancer and fiery Leo.

The great aunt to the Duchess of Cambridge's son is Princess Ann, the Princess Royal, and yes, she's a Leo.

Other lions in the House of Windsor include the young royal, Princess Beatrice, who was born 8 August 1988, the Queen's late sister Princess Margaret (21 August 1930 - 9 February 2002) and Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother , who was born more than a century ago on 4 August 1900.

The Queen's great grandson is expected to show some of the characteristics of sensitive cancer, the sign he shares with his father, Prince William (21 June 1982) , and his grandmother, Princess Diana. But according to astrologers even members of the royal family born under different star signs display classic Leo characteristics.

The lion is an important symbol of royalty and it's prominent in the Queen Mother's coat of arms detailed here on the Queen Elizabeth memorial gates , entry to Hyde Park.

Astrologer Adam Smith has been studying the planets which some believe will determine characteristics of the third in the line to the throne.

He says: "There's a lot of Leo within the House of Windsor. So the Queen has quite strong Leo characteristics, Charles has Leo characteristics. Princess Margaret, Princess Anne, the Queen Mother who are all sun Leos. So, there's quite a lot riding on when the baby comes out."

Smith points out that one of the most famous and powerful Leos in the world is the US President Barak Obama:"Well, I suppose the most famous Leo in the world, at the moment, is President Obama. He's fitted right in to the being President, even though, five or six years ago perhaps, nobody had ever heard of him. So, just goes to show sun has a innate kind of sense of self assurance, sense of confidence, sense of being happy at the centre of attention, really. And so, quiet often you get it with superstars, you get it with politicians, people who gravitate towards positions of power."

There aren't many people who can feel this comfortable upstaging a royal, but Leo Usain Bolt, born 21 August 1986, has to be one of them.

Here he's allowing Prince Harry, the royal baby's uncle, to win the race. But there's no doubt it's Bolt who is the fastest man in the world.

The world of celebrity has its fair share of Leos too.

Sir Mick Jagger, the ostentatious front man of the Rolling Stones, has just celebrated his 70th birthday. He was born 26 July 1942.

Smith says: "Superstars and show business it's sort of like, you know, you've got the first famous ones, would be like Madonna and Mick Jagger who really are the superstars, really. The really mega celebrities, and that really sort of seems to be perfect role for the Leo to fulfil. Because if they haven't got that place where they can shine, like the sun, then you tend to get a frustrated Leo. So, a Leo with a platform tends to be a happy Leo."

Certainly this little royal Cancer/Leo is born under the spotlight, with the world's media camped outside key royal sites in London.

A bulletin outlining the details of the royal birth are published outside Buckingham Palace - where hundreds of tourists and well wishers have amassed.

The bookies have also been quick to cash in on the royal birth.

But this royal baby is born on the cusp of Leo and Cancer as Smith explains: "Sometimes they say that if you're born near the cusp, or change, then you can be a instrument of change later on in life. It can be that, you know, you oversee a lot of changes happening because your sign is going from one state into another."

Another major factor in the royal birth is that it's happened near to a full moon.

According to Smith: "The full moon is said to be very auspicious. It's when the moon is very fool and very bright. The moon represents the emotions so if the baby has a full moon, again, that will tend it to make it a little bit more flamboyant, a little bit more extrovert, it have quite a bright sort of, you know, centre. That's the significance of the full moon."

Everyone appears to have some expectations from the royal birth.

James Barton and his girlfriend Claire Richardson are hoping a new Bank Holiday will be declared.

Australian visitors Sue Picken and Lorna Hill are typical of those excited by this royal occasion.

Pinken says "I think a whole new generation are more interested in, you know, the Royals."

While Hill argues you can't help getting caught up in the excitement because: "They're such an adorable couple. Can't help but like them so yes."

Others though are here just for the cricket like Australians Tony Guatieri and his friend Glen Hayward.

Outside the hospital there's been a carnival atmosphere - one well wisher even created their own version of this new Madonna and Child.

22 July 2013 is when this new royal lion roared into the history books.

LEAD-IN:

A funeral has been held for Egyptian actor Nour el-Sherif.

The Arab film star died after a long illness.

STORY-LINE

Hundreds gather in 6th of October City in Cairo to say their last goodbyes to the famous Egyptian actor Nour el-Sherif.

The actor died at the age of 69 on Tuesday after suffering an unspecified long illness.

El-Sherif's big break was in the late 1960s when he played a supporting role in "The Palace of Desire," the screen adaptation of one of the novels in a trilogy by Egyptian Nobel Prize laureate Naguib Mahfouz.

He went on to become one of the Arab world's top male actors for much of the 1970s and 1980s in the heydays of Egyptian cinema.

Today, Egyptian celebrities like Samir Sabry, Adel Imam and Mostafa Bakry have come to pay their last respects to the actor.

The prominent journalist Mostafa Bakry says it is a great loss to say goodbye to such a talent.

"Nour el-Sherif is not only an artist, but he is a human being by the true definition of the word. He was always concerned about the country and the Islamic nation and I think that losing him represents a great loss," says Bakry.

Abdel Hakim Abdel Nasser, son of late Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser, was also at the funeral and offered his condolences to el-Sherif's family.

"I send my condolences to his family, and to all of Arab art, God rest his soul," says Abdel Nasser.

8. Mugshot: Hugh Grant from 1995 arrest

HUGH GRANT ARRESTED OVER BAKED BEANS ASSAULT

Actor Hugh grant was arrested by London police on Wednesday night after he allegedly threw of tub of baked beans at a paparazzi photographer outside his house on Tuesday morning.

Photographer Ian Whittaker told the UK's Daily Star tabloid that Grant had kicked and shouted abuse at him, before hurling the baked beans at him.

The newspaper ran photos of him on Wednesday showing Grant holding a plastic tub over his head.

The Metropolitan Police does not identify suspects who have not been charged, but said a 46-year-old man was arrested Wednesday night on suspicion of assault and released on bail.

No charges had been laid, police said.

Grant's lawyers were not immediately available for comment.

Grant is no stranger to the holding cells.

In 1995, while dating his ex girlfriend Liz Hurley, Grant was arrested in Hollywood for indecent conduct with a prostitute, Divine Brown in a public place.

Britain's Prince Harry on Tuesday condemned the media for subjecting girlfriend Meghan Markle to "a wave of abuse and harassment".

He issued a highly unusual statement that confirmed his relationship with the US actress and expressed concern for her safety.

Harry's office said that while the 32-year-old prince understood that there was significant curiosity about his private life, a line had been crossed in terms of media intrusion.

"Prince Harry is worried about Ms. Markle's safety and is deeply disappointed that he has not been able to protect her", said the statement from Kensington Palace.

Camilla Tominey, Royal Editor at British newspaper Sunday Express, said that while Markle would not have the same expectation of privacy as "the girl next door", some media reports had crossed a line.

The 35-year-old Markle is best known for playing paralegal Rachel Zane in the TV legal drama "Suits".

She has also worked with the United Nations on gender equality and is a global clean water campaigner.

Tabloids in Britain and beyond have jumped on the story and speculated about the relationship for weeks, with many commenting on her mixed-race heritage and contrasting her background with the prince's.

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Camilla Tominey, Royal Editor at British newspaper Sunday Express:

"I think what they (British royals) are objecting to is some newspaper reports that have gone a little bit too far over the line in criticising Ms. Markle personally, and also online, the internet continues to publish with impunity while newspapers are subject to much stricter guidelines on what they produce and publish. And I think that's also a problem. I think Meghan has incurred a lot of abuse online, trolling, from ordinary members of the public that aren't professional journalists. Let alone what has been written in professional news organisations and publications."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Camilla Tominey, Royal Editor at British newspaper Sunday Express:

"Possibly you could argue that her reasonable expectation of privacy would be lower than the average girl next door. She does have quite a large social media presence and as we know, celebrities do have a tendency to invade their own privacy online sometimes when they're constantly posting photographs of themselves for promotional purposes and connecting with the public in that way. So yes, there's an acceptance that she is out there and she is famous already, but any responsible journalist knows that that's not an excuse to then launch into unfair comment and invective and indeed harass her to the point that I believe last week photographers were trying to break into her house."

6 . SOUNDBITE (English) Camilla Tominey, Royal Editor at British newspaper Sunday Express:

"Where do you strike the balance between giving the press what they want so that they go away for a while and not overdoing it so that the couple seem to be courting publicity? This first shot (of the couple) is the coveted shot that everybody wants. It's not going to happen for a while because obviously Prince Harry's here; he's involved in remembrance commemorations this week and they are in a transatlantic relationship. I'd point out as well that her being an American has also fuelled the media fires because of course they've got a very robust showbiz press over there. So it's difficult, I think really now that Kensington Palace has issued this statement, they're taking some responsibility for the relationship so maybe they'll want to continue to call the shots into the future and equally I think probably now we'll hear more from Ms. Markle's representatives in due course."

LAWSON ASSISTANTS FOUND NOT GUILTY

Two former assistants to celebrity chef, Nigella Lawson and her ex-husband, Charles Saatchi were found not guilty of fraud by a UK court on Friday.

The jury at London's Isleworth Crown Court rejected prosecution claims that Elisabetta Grillo and her sister Francesca had used credit cards loaned to them by Lawson and Saatchi for household expenses to run up unauthorized charges of 685 thousand pounds (more than 1 (m) million US dollars).

Richard Cannon, a solicitor for the two sisters, said his clients were "naturally relieved" by the verdict.

"This has been a long hard fight played out in the gaze of the world's media. Elisabetta and Francesca would like to thank their friends and relatives for their love and support", he said during a statement outside the court.

Throughout the trial the defence lawyers for the Grillos had claimed that Lawson approved their high spending in exchange for their silence about her drug use.

That argument shifted the spotlight from the sisters squarely onto Lawson and Saatchi, who divorced in July after he was photographed grabbing her neck outside a London restaurant.

Lawson accused Saatchi of spreading the rumours about her drug use after the damning images surfaced.

She admitted to taking cocaine but strongly denied she was a regular or frequent drug user, blaming her use of the drug in 2010 on her troubled marriage to Saatchi.

Police said on Friday they will not be investigating allegations the cook took cocaine.

STARS AND CARS

Saturday night (6 January 2007) in Detroit, Michigan, was all about when the stars met the cars.

Hollywood celebrities came to the Motor City to participate in the GM Style event.

The event was held on the eve of the 2007 North American International Auto Show which previews the latest innovations in the auto industry.

GM Style is part fashion show, part auto show.

The event teams celebrities such as Jay-Z, Christian Slater and Carmen Electra up with top of the line cars.

'Dreamgirls' star Jennifer Hudson may be a lady, but she says she is attracted to big boy cars:

"I would prefer something big so when it comes up the street you think it is a guy, a big old man pulling in and then, I get out and it is a little diva. It is like, no she is not driving that car. I want something big but flashy and fabulous."

'Dancing with the Stars' runner-up Mario Lopez was escorted on the runway by a Chevrolet WTCC - a concept race car which premiered in the 2006 Paris Motor Show.

"Driving any of these cars you can't beat," Lopez says. "I am a big car buff being a guy so seeing all of these cars and getting the VIP tours of all of them it's pretty cool."

Carmen Electra's date was the Camero concept car. "Entertainment merging with automobiles, music, fashion. It is really cool," Electra said. "I think that is what the future is all about merging all of those different worlds together."

Christian Slater took to the catwalk with the Holden EFIJY which is considered to be the "hot rod" for the 21st century.

Hip hop star Jay-Z may have had the biggest honours for the night.

Jay exited a Yukon Denali unveiling a new colour: Jay-Z blue. "It's been, I want to say a year and a half, maybe two years in the making," Jay-Z says. "Even going through the proper channels and registering with Pantone and the whole thing. It is a real thing. It has been in the works for a couple of years now."

Other celebrities who attended the event include Petra Nemcova, Vivica Fox and Cheryl Hines.

STORYLINE:

Pop star Michael Jackson has been formally charged with repeatedly molesting a cancer-stricken boy invited to his Neverland Ranch, setting the stage for what could become one of the most sensational celebrity cases the world has ever seen.

The nine-count felony complaint charged Jackson with seven counts alleging lewd or lascivious acts upon a child under 14 and two counts of administering an intoxicating agent, apparently wine.

The molestation charges each carry between three and eight years in prison.

No details of the alleged acts were included in the complaint, which repeatedly stated they were committed "with the intent of arousing, appealing to, and gratifying the lust, passions, and sexual desires" of Jackson and the child.

The complaint further alleged that Jackson had "substantial sexual conduct" with the child in February and March.

A friend of Jackson's, entertainer Uri Geller, said the singer had made what he called "devastating mistakes" by admitting to inviting children into his bedroom in a recent television interview.

Jackson's attorney, Mark Geragos, said the pop star would fight the charges "with every fibre of his soul".

At a news conference in California on Thursday, Santa Barbara County District Attorney Tom Sneddon dismissed the suggestion that the delay in filing charges signalled a weak case.

Sneddon agreed to delay Jackson's arraignment by a week to January 16 and return Jackson's passport to allow him to travel to Britain from December 20 to January 6.

BEYONCE, JAY Z, JOIN 'JUSTICE FOR TREYVON' PROTEST

Hundreds of demonstrators joined Trayvon Martin's mother on Saturday in New York City at one of about 100 rallies around the United States calling for justice for the slain teenager.

Celebrities, including singer Beyonce and her rapper husband JAY Z, also joined the rally in New York.

Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, and the Reverend Al Sharpton led the noontime "Justice for Trayvon" rally on a blazing hot plaza in downtown Manhattan, where the temperature topped 90 degrees (32 degrees Centigrade).

Several people who took part in the rally called for long-term change.

"We have to find a way to go through the system to try to get something done the right way, so that it will stick," one woman told US television.

The rallies in New York and elsewhere come a week after a Florida jury found George Zimmerman not guilty in the death of the unarmed black teenager.

Zimmerman, a neighbourhood watch volunteer, had followed Martin because he thought he might be a burglar.

Other rallies took place in cities across the country, including Washington, DC, where radio talk show host Joe Madison told the crowd, "I am Trayvon Martin," echoing a cry supporters of Martin have chanted in their efforts to ensure that black youth are no longer viewed with suspicion because of their skin colour.

"Stand-your-ground" laws are on the books in more than 20 states, and they go beyond many older, traditional self-defence statutes.

In general, the laws eliminate a person's duty to retreat in the face of a serious physical threat.

Zimmerman relied on a traditional self-defence argument and didn't invoke stand-your-ground, though the judge included a provision about it in instructions allowing jurors to consider it as a legitimate offence.

In Miami, Tracy Martin spoke about his son.

"This could be any one of our children," he said.

"Our mission now is to make sure that this doesn't happen to your child."

STORYLINE

A British court on Friday sentenced a tabloid journalist to four months in prison for hacking into royal officials' voicemail systems, prompting his editor to resign.

The judge said he had no option but to hand a prison sentence to Clive Goodman, the royal editor of the News of the World, describing his crime as "reprehensible in the extreme."

Goodman's accomplice, private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, was sentenced to six months in prison for hacking into the messages, including some from Princes William and Harry, sons of heir to the throne Prince Charles.

Neill Blundell, Glen Mulcaire's solicitor spoke on behalf of Goodman, saying he was sorry for any harm he had caused.

"He (Goodman) by no means excuses his actions but wishes to make clear that the pressures of work clouded his judgement," Blundell said.

However he added that Goodman believed that no harm was really caused by the stories he published.

"He has worked loyally for the News of the World for some years and is sad that it has to end this way. He says his future at this stage is uncertain but he is vigorously perusing several options that are open to him and should come to fruition in the near future," added Blundell.

Shortly after the sentencing, The News of the World's editor Andy Coulson announced his resignation.

Coulson said in a prepared statement that he decided that the time has come for him to take ultimate responsibility for the events around the Clive Goodman case.

The judge said Mulcaire duped mobile phone network operators into passing him confidential pin numbers to access

messages left on the cell phones.

He passed those onto Goodman, and between them the pair made 609 separate calls to the voicemail systems of three senior members of the royal household.

The calls to intercept the voicemail messages made between November 2005 and June 2006 targeted the telephones of the Prince of Wales's aide Helen Asprey, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, the ex-SAS (Special Air Service) officer who is private secretary to Princes William and Harry, and Charles' communications secretary Paddy Harverson.

Mulcaire, once a semi-professional soccer player, had also pleaded guilty to five other charges of intercepting messages of well-known figures, including those of supermodel Elle Macpherson.

Goodman and Mulcaire had earlier apologised through their lawyers to the Prince of Wales, Princes William and Harry at a previous hearing, and the judge said their contrition had allowed them to have a more lenient sentence than the maximum two years they faced.

Royal commentator, Dickie Arbiter, said he believed Goodman may have hacked into the royal officials voicemail's in the pursuit of a front page story.

"A journalist is always out for a good story, good stories splash on the front page. (Overlay of newspapers) Sensational stories splash on the front page and people like a bit of gossip, they like a little bit of sensationalism and whether it's the royals or celebrities, footballers or whether it is public people, they want to know about them," added Arbiter.

Eavesdropping is a sensitive issue for the royal family.

Charles was the victim of an embarrassing intercept in 1989. The prince and his current wife, Camilla, were recorded having an explicit phone conversation while he was still married to Princess Diana.

The Sun newspaper later published the transcripts, and ran excerpts of a conversation between Diana and a man who affectionately called her "squidgy."

STORYLINE:

Police have now arrested nine people in connection with an alleged plot to kidnap pop star Victoria Beckham by ambushing her outside her house with a chemical knockout spray, Scotland Yard and a British newspaper said.

Police on Saturday said officers had arrested four men and one woman whom they believed were part of the conspiracy to kidnap Beckham - formerly of girl band the Spice Girls and wife of England soccer captain David Beckham - after the News of the World tabloid Sunday newspaper tipped them off.

The arrests came during two raids in east and south London, police said.

Police later said a further four people had been arrested late on saturday night and early on Sunday morning. A man and a woman were arrested at an address in Croydon, just south of London, and another two alleged gang members were arrested in relation to allegations of theft.

The newspaper, which said its reporters had infiltrated the gang of Romanian and Albanian kidnappers, reported that they planned to ambush Victoria Beckham in front of her home in Hertfordshire, north of London, and use a chemical spray to sedate her and any companions.

If either of her two sons were with her, the tabloid said, the kidnappers would have seized them too.

They planned to take their captives to a house in Brixton, south London, and demand 5 (m) million pounds sterling ($US7.8 million) ransom, the paper reported.

Victoria Beckham told the News of the World she was stunned and shocked by the news.

Neither she nor her husband made any other public comment.

David Beckham, who captains England's national soccer team and plays for Manchester United, is one of Britain's biggest sports stars and the Beckhams are among the country's most popular celebrities.

Victoria Beckham gave birth in September to the couple's second child, a boy named Romeo.

The News of the World said its reporters had lured three of the alleged criminals to an east London hotel on Saturday by claiming they wanted to buy paintings and a jewel-encrusted crown the gang had stolen from Sotheby's auction house.

Police arrested the men outside the hotel.

Detective Chief Superintendent John Coles, head of Scotland Yard's Serious and Organised Crime Command, said the police were very grateful to the News of the World for its actions, which not only foiled the kidnap plot but assisted in the recovery of a number of valuable stolen items.

The five suspects were not charged with any crime, but a Scotland Yard spokeswoman said they were being detained under suspicion of theft and conspiracy to kidnap.

Police foiled a 1999 plot kidnap plot against Victoria Beckham and her older son Brooklyn, although no one was arrested in that case.

Victoria Beckham said later that she and her husband had hired a bodyguard for their son.

"We did all these things for our editors, for Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson (former News of the World Editors) and you only have to read Andy Coulson's column in Bizarre (of The Sun) where it would just be written "pop star A is leaving messages on pop star B's phone at two AM in the morning saying, 'I love you - should we meet up for a drink?'" It was that blatant and obvious. I don't think anyone realised that anyone was committing a crime at the start ."

"I rang up David Beckham expecting his phone to ring because he would never normally answer the phone to me, but actually did and it was, 'Hello, who's this? How'd you get my number?' and I went 'ah nine, oh, too late.' So I didn't hack his phone in that instance because he answered really quickly."

Paul McMullan/Former News of the World Reporter

STORYLINE:

A former reporter at Britain's News of the World made a rare, robust defence of phone hacking on Tuesday, telling Britain's media ethics inquiry that eavesdropping on voicemails was an acceptable tool to help journalists uncover stories and was ultimately "for the public good."

Paul McMullan said hacking was common at the now-defunct tabloid, describing how reporters traded the phone numbers of celebrities and accessed their messages by entering factory-set passcodes.

McMullan, who now runs a pub in the English port of Dover, made headlines earlier this year when he was secretly taped by actor Hugh Grant claiming phone hacking was widespread at the News of the World and other UK newspapers.

He repeated that assertion on Tuesday, adding that the bosses at the News of the World, including former top editors Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks, knew of the practice - a claim both former editors have denied.

"We did all these things for our editors, for Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson," he said, adding that Coulson's column in The Sun, entitled Bizarre, was an early example of phone hacking reporting.

Both Brooks and Coulson resigned in the scandal - Brooks from a senior role in Rupert Murdoch's media empire, and Coulson from his job as top communications aide to Prime Minister David Cameron.

"I don't think anyone realised that anyone was committing a crime at the start," McMullan said.

"Phone hacking is a perfectly acceptable tool given the sacrifices we make, if all we are trying to do is get to the truth."

Prime Minister David Cameron set up the media inquiry in response to the scandal that began with the exposure of illegal eavesdropping by the News of the World.

Murdoch shut the tabloid in July after evidence emerged that it had accessed the mobile phone voice mails of celebrities, politicians and even crime victims in its search for exclusives.

The scandal has sparked soul-searching across the media - but not from McMullan, who told the inquiry how he'd hacked phones, staked out homes, posed as a drug dealer, a millionaire and a male prostitute, and pursued celebrities through the streets in the years before the 1997 car-crash death of Princess Diana partially curbed the press pack's ways.

McMullan spoke of the phone tip he and his colleagues received from one of the Princess' body guards regarding updates on her whereabouts, for which they paid him 30-thousand pounds sterling (47-thousand US dollars).

He said the tabloids' tactics were vindicated by their large circulations, topping nearly 3 (m) million copies a week before it was shut down.

McMullan was one of three journalists giving evidence to the inquiry on Tuesday after a week in which both famous and non-famous individuals - from actor Hugh Grant and "Harry Potter" author JK Rowling to the parents of missing girl Madeleine McCann - described how their lives had been upended by media intrusion.

The trigger for the scandal was the revelation that the News of the World had hacked the voice mails of murdered 13-year-old Milly Dowler after she disappeared in 2002.

Her mother told the inquiry last week that she believed Milly was still alive when she found there was space in the girl's previously full voice mailbox.

More than a dozen current and former News of the World journalists and editors - including Coulson and Brooks - have been arrested, and two top London police officers and several senior Murdoch executives - have resigned.

The inquiry, led by Judge Brian Leveson, plans to issue a report next year and could recommend major changes to Britain's system of media self-regulation.

"Several weeks ago the News of the World's investigation team, led by Mazher Mahmood who's our investigations editor - better known as the 'Fake Sheikh' I think (reference to his posing undercover as a sheikh in a separate investigation) - was.... they were working on a crime story based around the theft of some fairly expensive artwork from Sotheby's. In the course of that investigation they infiltrated a gang of East European criminals, and it came to light that in fact this gang had a much more serious plan in their minds and that was the kidnap of Victoria Beckham and, if her two sons were with her at the time, her two sons also. Mazher stayed with this investigation, infiltrated the gang even further to the point where he basically became a gang member, and was able to bring this fairly dangerous situation to a happy end for the Beckhams. Pretty sorry end for the guys involved - they were arrested today in a series of swoops across East London and elsewhere by our policemen."

They were serious, and we know from the players and the details that are in tomorrow's News of the World, you can see that these guys had planned pretty meticulously what they intended to do, and if frankly they didn't get the money, their plan was quite simply to kill Victoria."

STORYLINE:

Police have now arrested nine people in connection with an alleged plot to kidnap pop-star Victoria Beckham by ambushing her outside her house with a chemical knockout spray, Scotland Yard and a British newspaper said.

Police on Saturday said officers had arrested four men and one woman whom they believed were part of the conspiracy to kidnap Beckham after the British News of the World tabloid Sunday newspaper tipped them off.

The arrests came during two raids in east and south London, British police said.

Police later said a further four people had been arrested late on Saturday night and early on Sunday morning. A man and a woman were arrested at an address in Croydon, just south of the English capital London, and another two alleged gang members were arrested in relation to allegations of theft.

The newspaper, which said its reporters had infiltrated the gang of Romanian and Albanian kidnappers, reported that they planned to ambush Victoria Beckham in front of her home in Hertfordshire, north of London, and use a chemical spray to sedate her and any companions.

They planned to take their captives to a house in Brixton, south London, and demand 5 (m) million pounds sterling ($US7.8 million) ransom, the paper reported.

Victoria Beckham, formerly of girl band the Spice Girls and wife of England soccer captain David Beckham, told the newspaper she was stunned and shocked by the news.

Her husband David Beckham, who captains England's national soccer team and plays for Manchester United, is one of Britain and the world's biggest sports stars. The couple are among the country's most popular celebrities. The couple have two children.

Detective Chief Superintendent John Coles, head of Scotland Yard's Serious and Organised Crime Command, said the police were very grateful to the News of the World for its actions, which not only foiled the kidnap plot but assisted in the recovery of a number of valuable stolen items.

The five suspects have not been charged with any crime, but a spokesman for British police's Scotland Yard department said they were being detained under suspicion of theft and conspiracy to kidnap.

A British children's charity says at least 500 people have reported abuse by the late entertainer Jimmy Savile, with the youngest alleged victim just two years old.

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children said Monday that the most common age group for victims was 13 to 15.

Peter Watt, the charity's director of child protection, said Savile "ranks as probably the most prolific predatory sex offenders that we've ever come across."

The cigar-chomping, platinum-haired Savile was a British television fixture for several decades, but after his death at age 84 in 2011, witnesses and victims came forward to accuse him of sexual abuse.

Police have since described the television and radio presenter as a serial sexual predator who used his fame to target young and mostly female victims, from star-struck teens at television recordings to patients in hospital beds.

A police investigation concluded last year that Savile's abuse spanned half a century and included at least 214 offences, most against victims under 18.

The NSPCC researched Savile's crimes as part of a BBC documentary to be aired Monday.

It found more alleged victims than previously thought at Broadmoor psychiatric hospital.

Police say they have received 16 allegations of abuse inside the institution.

Savile visited frequently as part of his charity work and was given his own set of keys to the hospital.

In 1988, he was hired as an advisor to help resolve staff-management tensions at Broadmoor.

FTG OF SENATOR JOHN EDWARDS (D-NC) ON LARRY KING LIVE.

LARRY KING, HOST: Tonight, Diane Sawyer and her co-anchors on the new "Primetime Live." Their take on the CBS News scandal, on Diane's interviews with Jennifer Lopez and Scott Peterson and more. With Diane Sawyer, Cynthia McFaden, Chris Cuomo and John Quinones. One of TV's top investigative news teams. We'll take your calls too.

But first, Democratic vice-presidential candidate, John Edwards on the race for the White House, and reports linking the Kerry campaign to the CBS scandal. John Edwards is next on LARRY KING LIVE.

Senator Edwards will be with us in the first segment. So, let's get right it to, John. Nice for you to join us. And appreciate you joining us.

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS, (D-NC) VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Glad to be with you.

KING: Your counterpart, Mr. Cheney, has said today, the choice the American people will make on November 2 is whether we continue with tough and aggressive and effective policies of this administration, or revert back to the pre-9/11 mindset by electing someone whose views on these issues are marked by indecision, confusion and contradictions. What's your reaction?

EDWARDS: My reaction is Dick Cheney as in so many things, is dead wrong. The problem, of course, is that John Kerry and I will be aggressive, we will make certain that the American people are safe. We will go after these terrorists before they can get at us.

But this mess that we have in Iraq, George Bush created this mess and he can't fix it. Our men and women in uniform have been extraordinary there. But George Bush promised us that he had plan. Not true. Promised us this the war would pay for itself. Not true. Promised us we had the troops to secure the country. Not True.

I think the truth is, Larry, the only 2 people left in this country who think no mistakes have been made there are George Bush and Dick Cheney. And if we're going to fix this mess, we need a new president.

KING: If Iraq is the central issue, why are you trailing in the polls?

EDWARDS: Well, first of all, polls go back and forth. We popped up some in the Democratic convention, they're popped up a little now. We've been moving back over the last week or so. The bottom line is, the election is close. It's going to be close. We knew that all along.

When people focus on what's happened, though, over the last 4 years, and this is the reason we're seeing character assassination against John Kerry, is that they cannot defend this record, it's impossible. Five million Americans have lost healthcare, 4 million fallen into poverty, 1.5 million private sector jobs lost. Folks' income has gone down, while the cost of everything has gone up.

We see what's happening on the ground in Iraq, Iran and North Korea have moved forward with their nuclear weapons program. There's absolutely no way to defend what's happening. Everybody knows they're worse off than four years ago and resorted, unfortunately to these attacks.

We have a plan to make this better. I don't think we can turn it around overnight. But it's a serious plan. It's a plan we will begin to put in place as soon as John Kerry is put into the White House.

KING: Kerry and Edwards have said that they will talk more with other nations, get them involved more in Iraq. But if these nations are morally opposed, politically opposed, why should they join you in getting involved in Iraq, if they won't join Bush?

EDWARDS: Well, they won't join Bush for such an obvious reason, because he completely dismissed them before invading Iraq. He made no serious effort. This was an academic thing for him. You know, the idea of having a coalition was entirely academic.

He knew that he was going into Iraq largely alone. 90 percent of casualties have been American casualties, 90 percent of the cost is being born by American taxpayers. What George Bush didn't understand, and can't do anything about as a result is, that it matters to our success, it matters to how safe our troops are that other countries are involved.

It's really not all that complicated.

KING: Will they change their opinion for you. I'm sorry, go ahead. But the question was, will they change, because you're vice president? .

EDWARDS: I believe they will change when John Kerry is our president, because he will make a serious effort to get them involved. He will get them involved, not just in the reconstruction and providing security there, but to make sure they're involved in every bit of the process.

But if I could go back just a minute, Larry, I want people to know that this discussion about bringing others in to Iraq is not an academic thing. For our troops to be safer, for us to relieve some of the burden on our troops, it's necessary for the Iraqis to no longer see this as an American occupation, that's one of the reasons we're seeing so much hostility there. That's the reason we're seeing the kidnappings, the beheadings. That's the reason so many of our troops are dying. It's the reason parts of the country are under the control of the insurgents.

George Bush had no plan for this insurgency. That becomes increasing lie clear every day. We lost more troops in August than we did in July, more in July than we did in June. And then the president says yesterday that everything is going well. Well, it's just not the truth. Of course it's not going well.

But we need these other countries involved in order to be successful. And the reason I believe it can be done is because a new president with a fresh start, who actually seriously brings others to the process, and involved in all parts of what's happening in Iraq, I believe can get it done.

KING: So you're saying that President Bush did not seriously bring them in.

EDWARDS: No. He obviously didn't seriously bring them in. It's the reason we're carrying all the cost and all the casualties.

KING: A couple of other things I want to cover and we hope to have you on quite a bit before this election. How are you approaching the debate? Are you rehearsing debate tactics?

EDWARDS: First of all, you know, the vice president -- I've never had a one-on-one debate. The vice president has been in a number of these one-on-one debates. A lot of folks believe that he won his debate with Senator Lieberman in 2000, you know. He's been in the Washington bureaucracy for 30 to 40 years except for the time that he was running Halliburton. And the truth is I expect him to be a very effective debater.

But what he can't change are the facts. My job is to make sure that people know what's happened over the last four years, all the damage that's been done here at home and abroad, that they understand it's not an accident, it's a direct result of the choices and the priorities of Dick Cheney and George Bush and to lay out our plans for doing better. There are dramatic contrasts not only between John Kerry and George Bush, Larry, but there are huge contrasts between Dick Cheney and myself and I think that will be clear.

KING: Can you tell us at all about any involvement, if any, between the Democratic party and CBS and the recent Rather problems and the taking of that situation, apparently, one of the producers contacting one of your key aides?

EDWARDS: I know that our campaign had nothing to do with these problems. And I know CBS is in the process of sorting that out. I do believe, and I want to say this, I do believe that the issue of what happened with George Bush, his National Guard service, his disappearance or at least alleged disappearance for some period of time in Alabama, those are serious questions and legitimate questions. They ought to be asked. The White House ought to respond to them. KING: But you're saying that you or the party had no involvement with CBS in any of these revelations about forged manuscripts and the like. You were not involved?

EDWARDS: That's correct. That's correct. That's absolutely correct.

KING: And the charge that you haven't been forceful enough, that you've been a nice guy in this, letting the others take the bow and arrow to you?

EDWARDS: Well, anyone who's been listening to what I've been saying for the last month would have absolutely no question about that. I take very personally what George Bush has done to my country. I take personally, Larry, what he's done to the kind of people I grew up with in that small town in North Carolina, the kind of people who worked in the mill with my father, the kind of people that I went to Friday night football games with. I think he has made life almost impossible for them. He has crushed the American Dream in the period of four short years.

And what I've been doing, just so folks know, is I've been actually campaigning in the parts of America that George Bush has done so much damage to, the places that he's messed up the worst. And there are a lot of them.

So that's a lot of territory to cover. But I believe that it is my responsibility to make sure that when voters go into that voting booth on November 2, they know everything that's happened, everything that's gone wrong, why George Bush and Dick Cheney are responsible, and what we're going to do to make it better.

KING: And I understand Senator Kerry has a bit of a cold and you're going to substitute for him tomorrow in Iowa, is that correct?

EDWARDS: That's correct. John's been out there fighting his heart out. I've been out there fighting my heart out. He's lost his voice for a day or so, so I'm going to go to Iowa and do his events tomorrow. We're in this foxhole fighting for our country together and we're going to keep fighting.

KING: Thanks, Senator. Always good to see you. See you on the trail.

EDWARDS: Thanks, Larry. Glad to be with you.

KING: Senator John Edwards, the 2004 Democratic vice presidential candidate, a member of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee.

The cast of "Primetime Live" on ABC is next. Don't go away.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

EDWARDS: For the the American people, are we ready to hear from the next President of the United States, John Kerry. (END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: The 2004/2005 edition of ABC News "Primetime Live" is underway. And we welcome its co-anchors. All in New York, Diane Sawyer who also co-anchors "Good Morning America," Cynthia McFadden, who is ABC News' senior legal correspondent, Chris Cuomo and John Quinones. They're all part of this "Primetime Live" team. Diane, why four co-anchors?

DIANE SAWYER, CO-ANCHOR, ABC NEWS "PRIMETIME LIVE": Well, because we -- we want to be the most aggressive, the most energetic, the most investigative team that you ever had and these are really annoying young people, (UNINTELLIGIBLE), I've got to say. And I'm so thrilled to have them as co-anchors. Each one of them. I mean, John Quinones has been places where people just don't go. And what he has done to get the story will amaze you. And Chris Cuomo is a fearless investigator. Cynthia, you know, star of "Law and Justice," great interviewer.

So our job, as we see it, is to be the team that is really kind of champions of getting things done these days and we want this team to signal to everybody out there, if you have the story, we're standing ready to do it. And I'm so great to have them on my side with me.

KING: Cynthia, is the purpose every week to muck rack, to break a story?

CYNTHIA MCFADDEN, CO-ANCHOR, ABC NEWS "PRIMETIME LIVE": We hope so. We hope that we're going to be telling viewers things that they're not going to be hearing anywhere else. We want to go back to the roots of "Primetime" when Diane originally went on the air with it with Sam Donaldson, which was "Primetime Live" was the most investigation-oriented show on television. We hope to go back to those original roots and be live in addition. We need Sam for that announcement.

SAWYER: Which means that I'm going to need the eyedrop concession but I will be there live.

KING: Chris Cuomo, what do you see as your role in this?

CHRIS CUOMO, CO-ANCHOR, ABC NEWS "PRIMETIME LIVE": To do the best job I can. I think everybody's role is similar. I think that we'll go after things investigative, we'll do profiles, we'll do the job as best we can. I think versatility is the key on this team, everybody's ability to go out and either tell a story that's this straight "once upon a time," tell somebody's life story or also really dig your heels in and take positions that may not be popular, that may get you in trouble but you feel are important enough for people to know about that you take the risk and you go out there and get it.

SAWYER: I have to point out, Larry, that Chris is one of to the few people I know who can take all those letters coming in from Donald Trump last week and still go ahead and do what he was going to do on Donald Trump. KING: Was he -- was Mr. -- was he mad? I understand you saw him tonight.

CUOMO: I did see him tonight. He came here to celebrate Barbara Walters and that was very good of him. I know that they are close friends. He was less friendly to me and to one of the producers that worked on the story and I respect and appreciate that as well.

He's a man who holds very close to his self-perception. We were happy to do the profile. I wouldn't call that piece necessarily investigative. He's somebody who is out there in the public eye, one of the biggest television shows going and he makes certain statements about himself. And we wanted to vet it. That's what "Primetime" does. If people want to say things we're around to check it.

KING: John, do you enjoy getting it?

JOHN QUINONES, CO-ANCHOR, ABC NEWS "PRIMETIME LIVE": I want to shed light on it. I cut my teeth here at "Primetime" when I first came on board with stories about kids who live in the sewers of Colombia, stories about children who cut sugarcane in Haiti against their will, being held as slaves, stories about blood diamonds more recently in the Sierra Leone. I just want to expose what is often injustice.

SAWYER: And you know, Larry, one of my favorites moments, I've said this to John, is one of his investigative pieces, this is the piece in which you're about to undergo surgery unnecessarily.

QUINONES: A couple months ago, yes.

SAWYER: He volunteers. He's there on the operating room table. But they're speaking Spanish. And they have no idea, they're talking to John Quinones. He understands every word.

QUINONES: They started denying they could speak English.

KING: Wait a minute. What kind of surgery did you undergo?

QUINONES: Well, it was about to be -- it was called sweaty palms surgery and I have sweaty palms like broadcast news. It was a story about how people at clinics in south California are asking people to volunteer for surgery if they've got insurance.

KING: I hear the commercials. They run radio commercials?

QUINONES: Right. Exactly. And they pay people to go get the surgery. So I posed as someone in a park just willing to make some money to get the surgery done. And indeed, they hired me. I mean, I had a baseball cap and a hat. I should worry, I guess, that I wasn't recognized. But I wasn't and I spoke Spanish to these guys. Sure enough they take me into the clinic. And not only that, the doctor agreed do this.

And I was in the emergency room -- I'm sorry -- in the operating room about to undergo the surgery when I finally said, listen, I'm a reporter and I want to talk to the doctors about to do this for cash. They wanted insurance money. They would not stop at anything.

KING: Diane Sawyer, could what happened to CBS this week happen to "Primetime Live."

SAWYER: You know, I think that every single one of us faces humbly the fact every day and knows that you can never say never. Now do we think that we check and we doublecheck and we triple check? Yes. But so does CBS, too. And I think everybody in this business has reexamined what they're doing and has really said to themself (ph), is there something we haven't thought of that we should be thinking of because we really do try to do it.

Can I say something, Larry? Because I started at CBS News. And one of the first people I met there was Dan Rather. Dan Rather came up to me and said, I didn't think you should be hired. I fought your being hired and I wanted you to hear it from me before you heard it from anybody else. Because I had worked in the Nixon administration. He didn't think you should go back and forth politically. And I sort of agreed with his principle. I was a little bit stunned but so honored that he would tell me to my face and he became the person who would always call me and say, have you checked the facts?

Have you got the full story? He is a towering journalist. We all know this. We live and die by headlines, all of us here. But let us never forget he's the guy who gets up out of the anchor chair and goes to Afghanistan, he's the guy who could have the cushy assignment but he goes to the hurricane. He is an honest to goodness reporter. If anybody is hard on themselves, it is him first. And he is a giant in this business and I know he operates without fear and favor. I just...

KING: We'll take a break and be right back. Talk to Diane a little about the Scott Peterson matter and then take calls for the entire panel who are making "Primetime Live", ABC's "Primetime Live," and it is live, hum. We'll be right back. Don't go away.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SAWYER: What would it take to convince you he didn't have weapons of mass destruction?

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Saddam Hussein was a threat. And the fact that he is gone means America is a safer country.

SAWYER: And if he doesn't have weapons of mass destruction, some day...

BUSH: Diane, you can keep asking the question, I'm telling you I made the right decision for America, because Saddam Hussein used weapons of mass destruction, invaded Kuwait. But the fact that he is not there is -- means America is a more secure country.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK) (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SAWYER: Did you murder your wife?

SCOTT PETERSON, ON TRIAL FOR MURDER: No, no, I did not. And I had absolutely nothing to do with her disappearance. You use the word "murder" and right now, everyone's looking for a body. And that is the hardest thing, because I did not -- that it's not a possible resolution for us. And you use the word "murder," yes, that is a possibility, it's not one we're ready to accept, and it creeps into my mind late at night and early in the morning. And during the day, all we can think about is the right resolution is to find her well.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KING: Diane Sawyer, that's part of the trial. How do you feel about that?

SAWYER: Well, I'm not out there covering it so I have no sense of the context. Cynthia actually knows more of the context it's been introduced out there. But I know at the time, that doing the interview, and some of the answers that were given were really surprising to me, so I'm just curious. You can tell us better than anybody, what context they're doing it in the courtroom and what it's showing or not showing.

MCFADDEN: It had an enormous impact, Larry, the day it was shown to the jurors. One of the jurors cried. I mean, the same effect this had to a riveting television audience, you can imagine in this courtroom, while there have been audience tapes introduced of Scott Peterson's voice, this is perhaps the first and only time they're going to hear him talk about what he's standing trial for, I mean, the murder of his wife. Whether or not he takes the stand is a long decision far away. But this was really riveting, those in the courtroom said a real turning point day. So, I don't know whether that should make you happy or not but...

KING: I want to play another thing that was key for the prosecution. I want Diane to comment. Here's where Scott inaccurately tells Diane he had told police about his affair with Amber Frey immediately after Laci vanished, watch.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SAWYER: When did you tell the police?

PETERSON: I told the police immediately.

SAWYER: When?

PETERSON: That was the first night we were together, I spent with the police.

SAWYER: You told them about her?

PETERSON: Yes, from December 24th on. KING: What do you make of this guy?

What do you make of this whole case, Diane?

SAWYER: He did contact me later and said he had misspoken, but I did probe at the time to say, are you really saying you told her then and of course about Amber Frey. And the whole other issue at the time was he had -- had he told Laci. At that point -- this was the first time I had ever heard -- when I talked to him in that interview, that was the first I had ever heard he had actually told his wife. And he said -- I believe he used the words where he said that she was fine with it, that she wasn't extremely happy with it, but she was fine with it. And I remember just asking several times someone eight months pregnant learns this and she's fine with it.

So, again, I don't want to comment on anything to do with my interview, because they're hearing it in the courtroom right now. But I do remember being startled when he said some of these things and trying to probe to make sure that they were what he meant to say.

KING: Cynthia, is "Primetime Live" going to deal with this?

MCFADDEN: With the Peterson case?

KING: Yes.

MCFADDEN: Yes, I mean, we have in an ongoing way and will continue to cover any major legal story. I mean, these are things that are interesting to viewers. We can do -- and you do it often, Larry. We hope we can do it in different kinds of ways. But yes, this is important something people care about.

KING: You just did a story about teachers who have sex with their students?

MCFADDEN: I did. It's not a very happy subject, but Congress just released a report that said one in 10 kids, K through 12, we believe at this point, the is a Congressional report, it had some sort of inappropriate contact with teachers. I mean, that's a shocking number. And we felt it was important to tell viewers as much as we could about the subject.

KING: Chris. I want to get Chris and John's thoughts on the CBS matter.

Chris, does this give you pause, does this cause you to triple check now?

CUOMO: I think you always do. You heard what Diane said before. And David Weston put out an E-mail today to everybody at ABC News, which I really think captured the idea, the significance you should take away from this, which is that, if nothing else, it's situation that makes us all painfully aware how careful we have to be. This is a business based on trust where what you say and what you do not say is often measured not by the people listening, but by your competition and your critics who are often the same in the media business. I think that's message to take away from it. I'd be surprised if the people at the big networks weren't looking at CBS and pointing fingers more than they were pointing fingers at themselves and say going, I hope to God this doesn't happen to me. I hope that I check everything meticulously and everything winds up being on the up and up. That that's best you can do. Certainly to take away from this situation shouldn't be to point the finger at CBS, but merely to understand your own responsibility in reporting information.

KING: In a tough rival driven business, John, there is no joy at ABC over what happened at CBS?

QUINONES: Of course not, no. Could it happen here? I shudder to think it might. We have an elaborate vetting system at ABC where every single script that we deliver is gone over with a fine tooth comb. And we often complain about the lawyers and the vetting process, because it often delays...

SAWYER: We don't make it easy.

QUINONES: We fight and we complain about what they cut and what they won't allow us to say because it's not backed up. It reminds us of how vigilant we have to continue to be, Larry.

SAWYER: And we also have, Larry, we have Shelley Ross as our executive producer, and she's such a seasoned experienced investigative reporter herself and...

KING: Are you, Diane at her -- supposing she comes to you, a hypothetic, and says here you're going to interview this guy tonight, we've checked this out, it's fact, what he's going to tell you is a fact.

What's your responsibility in that?

SAWYER: When Shelley says it's fact I take it seriously. So, she knows what she is doing. She really is good.

KING: So, you're dependent upon the producer's word?

SAWYER: Well, no. My job is to say how do we know it's fact?

And that's what we do. We know it's a collaborative business. We're all -- we're working with people who are good and whom we've worked with enough to know that they are good. We test and prone. But -- but again, what is fail-safe?

Fail-safe at the end of the day is asking as many questions as you can, as often as you can, and even then we -- even then we know sometimes things happen. And I really think it's really important for all of us to see what we can learn from this.
