London, Aug 4 : Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is at the centre of media scrutiny over a painting in his house that shows the nude breast of a female figure.

The Italian press accused him of Victorian prudery after noticing the skin show in a reproduction of a painting by Giampbattista Tiepolo at Palazzo Chigi, the Prime Minister’s residence

Titled ‘Truth Revealed by Time’, the painting was chosen by Berlusconi as the backdrop for his press conferences at Palazzo Chigi after he took office for the third time in May.

But, the assets of the female figure in the painting had been mysteriously draped in a gauze tunic, which, according to La Stampa, had been applied digitally.

London, Aug. 4 : British prisoners spend a whopping 220,000 pounds of taxpayers’ money playing computer games inside their cells.

According to the Daily Express, public money is being spent on PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo consoles for prisoners.

The cost is more than 20 times higher than the Government’s previous claim that they had spent just 10,000 pounds.

There are 12,948 consoles in jails and young offender institutions in England and Wales for 83,600 prisoners.

Prisoners bought many, but 1,715 have been paid for by the state.

An audit last month revealed the Prison Service spent between 100 and 300 pounds a time on the machines.

London, Aug. 4 : China’s Sinopec has reportedly made an approach to the London-listed oil and gas explorer, Imperial Energy, which could derail takeover talks between that group and India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC).

The move is the latest sign of China’s ambition to buy natural resource assets. Imperial is expected to confirm it has received a second approach when the London stock market opens on Monday, reports the Financial Times.
