1. Britain: Marriage 'that will never
last', 70 years on
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1922594/Marriage-'that-will-never-last',-70-years-on.html?source=rss
A couple who were told their marriage would never last when they wed as
teenagers have celebrated their 70th anniversary.
Ronald and Margaret Cole married in secret when he was 19 and she 16 after Mrs
Cole's mother threatened to call off their wedding, fearing her daughter was too
young.
Only the groom's uncle and mother were present at the ceremony at a register
office in Weymouth, Dorset, in 1938.
Mrs Cole's mother did not speak to her for two years after discovering that the
wedding had gone ahead. Seven decades later, Mrs Cole, 86, and her husband, 89,
a retired civil servant who took part in the D-Day landings, have seven
grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Mrs Cole, who met her husband at a sixpenny hop dance in Weymouth when she was
14, said of the wedding: "I didn't have any bridesmaids or my wedding dress but
it was still perfect to us."
The couple had a white church blessing with their five bridesmaids six weeks
after the wedding ceremony.
Mrs Cole added: "Ron is my husband and my best friend."
2. Israel and Britain: 'Breakthrough
reached in intel
on Iran'

Mossad chief Meir Dagan is expected to brief MI6 head Sir John Scarlett, who
is slated to visit Israel later this month, on an intelligence gathering
breakthrough regarding the Iranian nuclear program, The Sunday Times reported.
There is mounting concern in Israel that Iran's nuclear capability may be far
more advanced than was recognised in a declassified assessment by the US
National Intelligence Estimate last December, which concluded that Iran had
halted its nuclear weapons development program in 2003 in response to
international pressure.
A source quoted by the paper claimed that the new information was on par with
intelligence that led to the discovery and destruction of a partly constructed
nuclear reactor in Syria last September.
Israeli officials believe the US will revise its analysis of Iran's program. "We
expect the Americans to amend their report soon," a high-ranking military
officer said last week.
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni briefed British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and
Foreign Secretary David Miliband on Israel's findings during talks on the Middle
East in London last week. Israeli intelligence officers, en route from
Washington where they had been outlining their latest information to American
officials, joined Livni for the briefing.
It is thought that if Israel were weighing military action against Iran, it
would first seek diplomatic support in London and Washington because of the
danger of triggering a wider Middle East conflict.
"We're doing a lot of things about Iran," Defense Minister Ehud Barak said last
week. "We say we shouldn't rule out any option. Not ruling out options means
action, but the worst thing to do at the moment is to talk [about it]."
