    The Chancellor of the Exchequer bought time for the battered pound
    yesterday announcing that the Government is to borrow 7.25 billion
    pounds in foreign currencies from a group of international banks. This
    unexpected action to provide a lifebelt for sterling was greeted with
    euphoria in the City where prices of the pound, shares and bonds all
    moved up sharply.

    All the personal assets of Mr Kevin Maxwell were placed under the
    control of the Official Receiver yesterday when he became the country's
    biggest bankrupt with more than 400 million pounds owed mainly to the
    Maxwell pension funds.

    Major James Hewitt, a friend of the Princess of Wales, has launched a
    libel action against News Group Newspapers, publishers of the Sun, over
    what he says are "false allegations" in articles published this week
    about their relationship.

    World News
    ----------

    The wreckage of an Italian transport plane that crashed during an
    United Nations relief flight yesterday was found late last night in
    heavily wooded mountain country 20 miles west of the Bosnian capital,
    Sarajevo. First reports suggested that none of the four crew members
    had survived.

    South Africa's peace process was shelved indefinitely last night when
    the African National Congress rejected as "pointless" a return to
    constitutional negotiations.
