A baffled civil servant comments: 'I really can't see how we can be guilty of deliberately stirring up trouble and doing a deliberate cover-up at the same time.' MTR staff reveal that half of the territory's population was on its trains on the night of Christmas Eve. The other half was in the Admiralty taxi queue, which apparently stretched to Kennedy Town.
A man walks into a bank in India and removes the remains of Mahatma Gandhi, which have been in a deposit box for decades. 'I don't know if I can bear the excitement,' says great-grandson Tushar Gandhi, 35. Never mind the excitement. Can he bear the overdue bank charges?
