Hate preacher Abu Qatada arrived at his new home reportedly near Wembley Stadium in London and telephoned his parents in Jordan at 6am yesterday to boast of his ‘elation’ at being out of jail.
The ‘truly dangerous’ fanatic had been released from Long Lartin high security prison yesterday under cover of darkness to live near the terror target.
Qatada expressed his joy on another day of high-stakes wrangling and political rows over the best way of deporting the Al Qaeda-linked preacher back to Jordan.

HATE preacher Abu Qatada has been freed to live near a prime terror target — WEMBLEY STADIUM.
The fanatic, 51 — jubilant at his Human Rights Act victory — arrived at his new house after being whisked 90 miles by van from the top-security jail where he had been held.
Neighbours in West London said the terror suspect then launched into what appeared to be a knees-up lasting into the early hours of yesterday. One said: “It looked like they were having a party.

Perches precariously on narrow steel bars 1,000ft above the ground, their high-visibility jackets mere pinpricks of colour against the grey London sky, construction workers are putting the final touches to Europe’s tallest building.
After three years of work – and 12 years after the project was conceived – the last few floors of The Shard are taking shape.
Workers are now constructing a spire of steel and glass, which will sit atop 72 floors of offices, hotel rooms and viewing galleries.

HATE preacher Abu Qatada is set to be released from prison today, reports say — but he will be banned from taking his youngest child to school once he is free.
The radical cleric, who is held at maximum security jail Long Lartin, is banned from doing the school run as he must obey a 22-hour curfew.
It is a small victory for Home Secretary Theresa May, who has said he poses a real threat to the UK.

The beleaguered Royal Bank of Scotland boss separated from his Canadian-born wife Barbara in 2010.
Mr Hester’s name has now disappeared from Land Registry documents listing ownership of their magnificent £8.6million marital home.

FAT-cat banker Stephen Hester sheds a few more pounds to add to the 963,000 he lost last week.
The RBS boss – snapped jogging in London‘s Kensington – turned down his massive bonus after pressure from the public and politicians.
The People told how he was clinging to the massive package and he was compared to Uncle Fester from the Addams Family. He still gets a £420,000-a-year pension, so he’s on a good run.

When these teenage members of the Eton Society posed for a group photograph 12 years ago, they knew that one boy in their midst was destined for a life in the spotlight.
But while Prince William, seen here in the top right of the picture, was the only famous face in the crowd back then, today it is a different story.
The prince was a schoolmate of Eddie Redmayne, star of the BBC’s recent Birdsong adaptation, who is pictured fourth from right on the bottom row.

Eagle-eyed viewers have found many of the costumes from both series have been used a number of times before.
Edwardian clothing previously worn by Hollywood stars like Uma Thurman has been recycled for the show’s latest series, according to the website Recycledmoviecostumes.com.
In one scene a costume seen on Michelle Dockery who plays Lady Mary Crawley in the hit period drama was first worn by actress Emma Thompson in 1992 film Howard’s End.
The same floral blouse is also used as part of the outifit worn by Catherine Zeta Jones as Mary McGarvie in supernatural romantic thriller Death Defying Acts in 2007.

We elect them to Parliament to speak in debates of national importance and argue over the issues affecting each of us in our everyday lives.
So we might also expect them to be paying attention.
Last night, however, in a revealing insight into the way modern technology has rooted itself in the traditional methods of politics, an image emerged showing MPs glued to their smartphones while a colleague was speaking.
A fellow MP immediately condemned the behaviour for bringing Parliament into ‘disrepute’.
