1. Russian Roulette: The Invasion of Ukraine (Dispatch Five)
A senior immigration judge has been forced to quit after his bosses discovered he had been living with an illegal immigrant.
Richard McKee, 65, agreed to step down after admitting he had been supporting 39-year-old Nigerian woman, Fatima Umar, who had overstayed her visa to the UK.
The judge, a full-time Tribunal Judge of the Upper Tribunal since 2002, left his job on 4 February after Umar was arrested at his £410,000 flat in Kilburn, north London, where she had previously lived with him.

5. Mystery fake-passport holders on flight MH370 were Iranian
The two men travelling on stolen passports on the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 that mysteriously disappeared on Saturday have been identified as Iranian nationals.
A BBC Persian report quotes an Iranian friend of one of the men, who said he hosted the pair in Kuala Lumpur after they arrived from Tehran in the days preceding their flight to Beijing.
A state school allegedly infiltrated by Muslim fundamentalists had on its staff an extremist who was jailed for his involvement in a terror cell which planned to behead a British soldier, it emerged yesterday.

HERE’S SOMETHING FOR THE WANDERING MIND………
Hello there………its me again…….Don Laird…….
I just got back from the mountains, a breathtaking and spectacular day, I should have taken some photographs to send to you folks and the others, all the spring storms rolling across distance glaciers and snow capped peaks, temperatures in the 10 to 15’s, rivers of early melt running off, puffy pearl white luminescent clouds dotting an azure sky with intense brilliant sunshine…..and me watching the squirrels and chipmunks scampering out, the birds in lusty song glad of the fading winter….and there I sat breathing in the clear air and sipping a 5 shot Venti latte……it was madness and don’t even get me started on the sunset, nor the glass of brandy I sipping now, nor the hot bath with epsom salts I will soak in later…….
Ahhh these ladies I love, these mountains chide me for being gone so long, bid me farewell and hope I return soon……..think of these Rocky mountains, these cathedrals of stone, rivers of crystal at their feet, these silent Ladies, these works of geographic art wrought from tectonic passion and the tips of oh so talented providential fingers, some of His very best work, then close your eyes and ride this musical embrace awhile……….and if you listen so closely, ever so closely, you can hear them calling…..
