  • A woman lays flowers at the foot of Alexander Solzhenitsyn's bier, as he lays in state in Moscow, Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2008. Thousands of Russians braved a pelting rain on Tuesday to pay tribute to Alexander Solzhenitsyn in a ceremony for the author, dissident and patriot that had all the trappings of an official laying in state. A military honor guard stood next to Solzhenitsyn's open casket, placed in a hall at the Russian Academy of Sciences, as mourners filed by and placed long-stemmed flowers at the foot of the bier.

• Eric Waugh: Can you Adam and Eve it? We aren’t know-it-alls

My favourite sticker in the back window of the car in front is the one which advises: ‘Employ a teenager while they still know everything’. Most young people would not claim to have all the answers. But a few behave as if they did.

• The tragic last moments of Margaret Hassan

She stands in the empty room, a deplorable, terrible, pitiful sight. Is it Margaret Hassan? Her family believe so, even though she is blindfolded. I'm not sure if videos like this should ever be seen – or perhaps the word is endured – but they are part of the dark history of Iraq, and staff of the Arab Al Jazeera satellite channel have grown used to watching some truly atrocious acts on their screens.

• Cooper Brown: It turns out that my name is on some "terror" list

Something weird is going on – yesterday I received a letter from some asshole in the immigration department telling me that my UK visa was being "withdrawn with immediate effect". The letter goes on to say that "certain information has come to light that makes it no longer desirable for you to remain in the United Kingdom".

• Gail Walker: Odd, yes, but Barry George is no killer

Barry George is not the type of man any woman would feel comfortable with. A man who had been convicted of indecent assault and attempted rape. A serial stalker who habitually approached and harassed women. When police raided his squalid home they found rolls of film with images of 419 women he had secretly photographed.

• Mark Steel: A reactionary called Solzhenitsyn

I had no idea Solzhenitsyn was still alive, so I couldn't work out how to feel at the news he'd died. It was as if someone said "Have you heard the sad news – Joan of Arc's dead." It must have been difficult for him returning to Russia as an old man, as presumably he saw the shopping malls and McDonald's and thought "Dear oh dear, nothing's the same. When I was a boy it was all gulags round here."

• Frances Burscough: Why Jade is just not a Goody in my book

Oh my dear God... Just when you thought it was safe to switch on the TV again, Jade Goody is making a comeback. Yes, after just one very precious year of Jade-Free viewing, Miss Piggy the Bigot is plotting her return with yet another new reality TV series.
