I had fried seafood, mixed. I had also the fresh pasta with the duckling ragú. It was outstanding. Then I got a plate of Parmesan with green olives and I got the whole roasted branzino.

For lunch I went to Cipriani. The good thing about Cipriani is that it's all Italian. Every single person is Italian. Even the American sommelier is Italian. Everybody speaks Italian. It's a good feeling. I consider Cipriani one of the most refined services that I've ever had in a restaurant. For lunch I had spaghetti a la chitarra with Amatriciana sauce. I had beef tartar. I had fried seafood, mixed. I had also the fresh pasta with the duckling ragú. It was outstanding. Then I got a plate of Parmesan with green olives and I got the whole roasted branzino. It was me and another person. We had several glasses of wine. We didn't get dessert; we had a glass too much of wine, so we were very full. We stayed there like an hour just finishing the wine because my friend ordered a bottle.

Amatriciana is a sauce.

A school dinner lady is claiming damages from a teenager who seriously injured her while playing tag with a friend. If she is successful, pupils could become legally liable for boisterous behaviour that results in accidents. Michelle Orchard, 42, is seeking hundreds of thousands of pounds in damages from Sebastian Lee, who was 13 when he ran into her during the lunch break at Corfe Hills School, Corfe Mullen, Dorset, in January 2004. Sebastian, with his friend in pursuit, tumbled into her backwards, striking her in the face with the back of his head, senior judges at the Court of Appeal heard yesterday. Mrs Orchard's nose was broken and her teeth were damaged. Her lawyers say that she also suffered serious brain damage, leading to partial paralysis and balance problems. She has been unable to work since the accident.

A Pakistani government official said the militants fully withdrew from the Buner district on Friday, although other officials cast doubt on the extent of the pullout and how long it would last. Buner is only 60 miles outside Islamabad. The situation is particularly concerning because Pakistan is a nuclear-armed state.
