London, July 29 : A lawyer for aviation adventurer Steve Fossett’s widow has denied claims that the millionaire may have faked his own death.

Fossett went missing last September after taking off from a remote Nevada airstrip.

Michael LoVallo disputed suggestions from investigators and insurance assessors that the record-setting pilot and balloonist, a friend of Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson, could still be alive after his mysterious disappearance 10 months ago.

Steve’s wife Peggy petitioned a Chicago court to have her husband declared dead.

In the month of February her request was granted and she was awarded her husband''s estate of more than 10 million dollars.

London, July 29 : A new variety of melon that tastes like a lemon is set to go on sale in the UK.

The unique fruit resembles the honeydew variety but has the "zesty, fresh" taste of a lemon, according to Tesco.

It is grown in Spain and is the product of 12 years of trials, the retailer said.

It has 700/800mg of citric acid per 100g - almost twice that of a standard melon - and a pH level of 4.5 compared with 6.5 for a standard melon.

"The lemon melon causes a great reaction when people first try them because the last thing you expect from a smooth-textured melon is a tangy aftertaste,” the Daily Express quoted Tesco melon buyer Paul Cunningham, as saying.
