Archbishop faces calls to go over sharia remark
Rowan Williams, spiritual leader of the world's 77 million Anglicans, faced calls to resign on Saturday for suggesting that the introduction in Britain of some aspects of Islamic law was unavoidable.

Justice Secretary Jack Straw has already launched an investigation into claims that Labour MP Sadiq Khan's meetings with a terror suspect at the jail were secretly recorded.

Hospital bosses have been forced to apologise to two mums for accidentally swapping their babies.

One of the babies was breast-fed by the wrong mother and had to undergo a number of checks including a HIV test.
