MUMBAI (Reuters) - India"s Bharti Airtel (BRTI.BO) has shown interest in obtaining funding from the country"s top lender, State Bank of India (SBI.BO), for its $9 billion offer to acquire Kuwaiti Telecom Zain"s (ZAIN.KW) African assets, the bank"s chairman said on Wednesday.

SBI Chairman O.P. Bhatt told reporters Bharti was in talks with his bank regarding the deal, but gave no details. Bhatt was speaking on the sidelines of a banking technology summit.

"Bharti is interested," he said.

On Tuesday, people familiar with the deal told Reuters that Bharti might finalize by Friday what could be the largest acquisition loan for an Indian borrower.

Travel insurance: How to take the suffering out of selecting a process

Over Christmas, my partner Emily hurt her leg while skiing in the French Alps. She was unable to get down the mountain under her own steam, so ended up being escorted off the slopes in a "blood wagon" - the scary name for a rescue sledge.

Though she was lucky and didn"t need treatment, the bill for the very brief rescue service alone still came to €180 - around 156.

Fortunately, she was covered under the winter-sports section of our family travel insurance policy, so we have had to pay only the 50 excess.

To the rescue: You may think you are covered in the case of an accident but will your travel insurance policy prolong the ordeal?

Not only is it vital to have travel insurance if you"re going abroad, but it"s also crucial to ensure the policy gives you appropriate cover.

Like me, many people these days have an annual policy - it works out to be far better value than single-trip policies if you go away more than twice a year.

If your annual insurance is set up on a direct debit, it"s all too easy not to check the documents from year to year to see whether what you"re covered for matches what you"re planning to do when you are travelling.

For example, most policies do not automatically include winter sports cover and you may find that you"re not insured against accidents resulting from participating in other activities that you didn"t regard as being particularly risky.

Here are some areas that you should check your policy will insure you for - and offer the right level of cover.

WINTER SPORTS

Some important points to bear in mind. First, the free EHIC, or European Health Insurance Card, which entitles you to treatment within the state health systems of EU and a few other European countries, is of limited use in Europe for skiers and snowboarders, as it doesn"t cover the cost of mountain rescues (if you need a helicopter rather than a blood wagon, you"re looking at thousands of pounds), or treatment in resorts" private clinics.

Second, some insurers won"t cover off-piste skiing, or will do so only if you"re with a qualified guide or instructor.

Exceptions include the Ski Club of Great Britain"s insurance (0845 601 9422, www.skiclubinsurance.co.uk), and - other than outside resort boundaries in North America where you do have to be accompanied by a guide - Direct Travel Insurance (0845 605 2500, www.direct-travel.co.uk).

Third, watch out for cheap policies that don"t include some basic, snowy activities under their winter-sports cover. I"ve come across several that require you to pay an additional premium if you want to be covered to go tobogganing!

Lastly, have your insurance policy number and emergency phone number with you on the slopes. Emily had the details with her when she had her accident and it meant she was able to sort everything out in the resort"s ski patrol office in ten minutes flat.

Covered: If you have any doubts about whether your activity is covered by a policy, check the wording before you commit

HAZARDOUS ACTIVITIES

Insurers have wildly differing views about which activities are high-risk and are either excluded from their policies or covered only if you cough up more money.

I"m not just talking about obvious high-adrenaline sports, such as paragliding or rock-climbing. I have in front of me details of a policy that will cover deep-sea fishing, mountain-biking and camel riding only in return for extra premiums.

The golden rule is that if you have the slightest doubt whether an activity is covered, check before you do it (you"ll find a list of covered and excluded activities in the policy wording booklet - there should be a version on the insurer"s website).

If you have a last-minute urge to hurl yourself off a cliff or climb up it, you may be able to arrange top-up insurance on the spot.

InsureandGo (0844 888 2787, www.insureandgo.com) includes one of the wider ranges of activities as standard, and will insure most other activities for an extra charge. Also consider Snowcard (01327 262805, www.snowcard.co.uk), which specialises in travel insurance for all activity holidays (not just winter sports, as its name suggests).

EXPENSIVE ITEMS COVER

Travel insurance policies set maximums on what you can claim for valuables being lost or stolen that are a lot lower than the overall limit for your personal possessions - typically, the valuables limit will be 200 to 500.

There will also be a "single article limit", which may be even less. In either instance, it won"t be enough to cover the cost of a fancy digital camera or laptop.

Some insurers offer the option of increasing the cover. For example, for an extra 10 premium on its single-trip policies, the Post Office (0800 294 2293, www.postoffice.co.uk) will increase the limit for a single, valuable item from 300 to 1,000.

However, generally it"s likely to be better to use the personal possessions section of your home insurance policy (which will insure items away from the home as well as in it) to cover expensive items when you are travelling. On my home policy, there"s a 1,500 individual items limit.

Failure: Flyglobespan is one of the airlines which has gone under in recent times but it can be insured against

AIRLINE FAILURE

Many airlines have gone under in the past couple of years - the Scottish airline Flyglobespan is a notable, recent example.

An increasing number of travel insurance policies are including scheduled airline failure insurance, or SAFI, as standard in their policies (one example is the Post Office), but some offer SAFI as an optional extra and many don"t provide it at all.

You can buy stand-alone insurance, costing 5 for 30 days" cover, from International Passenger Protection (see www.protectmyholiday.com).

Though it won"t cover airlines deemed to be high risk (for example, Japan Airlines at the moment, which last week filed for bankruptcy), it is a useful safeguard for independent travellers as it also provides protection against ferry and car-hire companies, and hotels and villas, becoming insolvent, as well as scheduled airlines. (Note that package holidays are automatically protected under the ATOL scheme.)

Smoking gun memo reveals Toyota workers reserve fears

Leo Lewis, Middle East Business Correspondent & , : {}

Toyota was forced currently to spin over to United States congressional investigators a smoking gun memo constructed by the own bureau workers that warned government as far behind as 2006 of systemic threats to car safety.

The two-page memo, that was drafted by a organisation of long-term Toyota employees and sent without delay to Katsuaki Watanabe, the boss of the association in 2006, condemns reserve sacrifices done by the association in office of profit.

The memo highlights the unsound expansion times for new vehicles and the ubiquitous decrease of craftsmanship at Japans majority important production business.

It concludes that critical processes were right away in the hands of amateurs.

The request additionally offering a chilling foretaste of the difficulty that was to come, notice that Toyotas government policies would in conclusion bluster the companys survival.

The worlds largest carmaker stays in misunderstanding after a tellurian stop of scarcely 9 million vehicles, a flourishing fusillade of lawsuit and allegations that accelerator faults caused the genocide of dozens of people on American roads.

The memo warned that an augmenting series of problems that led to car recalls were outset not at the production turn but in the formulation stages.

Despite the eager efforts of Toyotas government to remonstrate motorists and congressional investigators that it has solved the problems that have cheerless the accelerators and brakes, the association has still not wholly absolved itself of the guess that there are elemental flaws in the formulation systems.

The association grudgingly concurred last month that it had stretched as well fast, withdrawal it with a necessity of required specialists.

The memo warned of that materialisation in 2006, blaming the association for sidelining frequency experienced workers in the office of expansion and profit.

The principal writer of the 2006 memo, Tadao Wakatsuki, has worked on the building of one of Toyotas largest Japanese factories for 45 years. In unison with multiform alternative employees of Toyota and the subsidiaries, he set up a breakaway work kinship in an try to urge operative conditions via the group.

His preference to form the All Toyota Labour Union, he told The Times, was formed on what he saw as the capitulation of the central Toyota union, a physique that frequency challenged management.

As well as home on countless shortcomings of Toyotas government practices, the memo done 7 requests.

One of them demanded a examination of cost rebate measures so that the association can pledge the production of protected cars.

Toyota concurred currently that comparison government had seen the strange memo, but deemed it suitable to reply to usually one of the requests a respectful idea that government see in to ways of shortening the sum series of hours worked by employees each year.

The memo was antiquated Oct 3, 2006, and was sent by Tadao Wakatsuki, authority of the All Toyota Labour Union, to Katsuaki Watanabe, boss of Toyota Motor.

Written in Japanese, here are translated highlights:

Between 2000 to 2005 Toyota was forced to stop some-more than million cars, a higher suit of sum car recalls than alternative carmakers.

Toyota faces a critical complaint that could bluster the presence of the association if it is not some-more consummate in identifying problems and their origins.

The association is in jeopardy by: mixing car platforms, the pity of tools in between models, the outsourcing of planning, a necessity of initial interpretation on prototypes since of shortened expansion time, a necessity of experienced specialists and an enlarge in operative hours for employees.

We are disturbed about the processes that are critical for production protected cars, but that in conclusion might be abandoned … in the name of competition.

Requests: a priority on safety, a examination of cost-reduction measures, improved precision for stipulate workers, a lapse to craftsmanship.

Gordon Brown pronounced he was "appalled and saddened" that the interest had been denied.

"From begin to end, the solitary role of this show hearing has been to forestall Aung Suu Kyi from receiving piece in elections," the Prime Minister said.

"In my open minute to Aung San Suu Kyi in December, I pronounced that this should be a ancestral year for Burma. Free, satisfactory and honestly thorough elections would concede the nation to move forward, to map a new path.

"But whilst she is kept out of domestic hold up and whilst over 2,100 alternative prisoners of demur sojourn incarcerated, the regime"s elections will not benefit approval nor general legitimacy."

Ms Suu Kyi"s lawyers appealed to the justice last Nov after a reduce justice a month progressing inspected a preference to judgment her to eighteen months of residence arrest. She was convicted last Aug of violating the conditions of her prior apprehension by quickly sheltering an American who swam to her lakeside home.

The 64-year-old democracy idol was primarily condemned to 3 years in jail with tough work in a hearing that drew tellurian condemnation, but that judgment was rught away commuted to eighteen months of residence detain by junta arch Senior General Than Shwe.

Ms Suu Kyi"s National League for Democracy won elections in 1990 by a landslide, but the military, that has ruled Burma given 1962, refused to concede power.

The junta has voiced it would hold elections a little time this year underneath a constitution that would concede the troops to contend estimable power. Ms Suu Kyi"s celebration has not voiced either it would competition the elections.

The justice statute additionally denied leisure to dual womanlike companions who share Ms Suu Kyi"s residence arrest. It comes scarcely dual weeks after the junta expelled Tin Oo, the 82-year-old emissary personality of Ms Suu Kyi"s celebration after scarcely 7 years in detention.

Than Shwe already done the outcome for (Ms Suu Kyi) and no decider will have the haughtiness to shift it, pronounced Aung Din, senior manager executive of the US-based run organisation Campaign for Burma.

The law complement in Burma is usually a piece of the regime"s rough mechanism, he said.

The usually approach to have the recover of (Ms Suu Kyi) and all domestic prisoners in Burma is to keep putting limit vigour on Than Shwe and his cronies until they feel the heat.

Wayne Rooney and Cesc Fábregas could miss critical Champions League ties Football

Manchester United and Arsenal might have to fool around their Champions League second-leg matches this week but key players Wayne Rooney and Cesc Fábregas.

Rooney is approaching to lay out United"s home tie opposite Milan with a knee injury, whilst the Arsenal captain"s pulled injure leg tendon looks expected to leave him on the sidelines for the revisit of Porto. "How big the repairs is we don"t know yet," pronounced Arsenal"s manager, Arsène Wenger, whose side face Porto on Tuesday trailing 2-1. "We have to have a late preference over either he plays."

Rooney longed for United"s 1-0 win over Wolves at Molineux after aggravating a knee complaint during England"s 3-1 midweek feat over Egypt. Sir Alex Ferguson was not happy with his striker for dogmatic himself fit for general avocation and United, who lead Milan 3-2, see set to compensate the cost for the lapse confront with David Beckham and association at Old Trafford on Wednesday. "Wayne is unequivocally doubtful," pronounced the United manager. "The Wembley representation has killed him."

Rooney"s eagerness to fool around for England served to enlarge his station in the eyes of Fabio Capello, who cannot regard him enough.

"Rooney is one of the majority appropriate players I have worked with," pronounced the England manager. "He can score. He gets assists. He helps the team. He runs a lot. He is utterly opposite to the alternative players. He is similar to [Real Madrid striker] Raúl, but he is physically stronger than Raúl and he is faster as well. Rooney is immature and strong. He is already at the tip turn and he can get better."

Capello is assured the 24-year-old can hoop being a noted man at the World Cup but losing that critical temper. "I don"t fright that attention. He knows everything," the physical education instructor said. "He knows what will occur during the World Cup. The referees additionally know. But Wayne is some-more grown up now."

Capello has pronounced he will exhibit to England"s players at a patrol assembly who will be forsaken from his World Cup plans. The physical education instructor will call his subject to 30-man patrol together following the accessible opposite Japan in Austria on thirty May, majority expected in the hours prior to they fly behind to England that night. Seven players will be told they are not entrance to South Africa.

"We will verbalise together," Capello said. "I will contend "Thank you unequivocally most but ... It will not be the majority appropriate impulse for me. All the players that have been with me are unequivocally great players. There will be one assembly and thereafter afterwards I will verbalise with the [individual] players. I think it will be critical for all the players to know the decision. One meeting."

Before the 2006 World Cup Sven-Goran Eriksson voiced his patrol publicly prior to informing the players.

Soccer moms v Precious - the informative conflict at the heart of this year"s Oscars Film The Observer

Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Tuohy in The Blind Side. Photograph: Ralph Nelson

One movie celebrates the bravery and munificence of a white middle-class "soccer mom" who transforms the hold up of a disadvantaged and ignoramus teen from Memphis. The alternative tells the dour but fortifying story of the uneasy teenage years of an obese, profound black lady vital in Harlem, New York.

So far, so different. But the heading actresses in both The Blind Side and Precious – dual of the majority absolute hits of the year – are in clever row for the Academy endowment for majority appropriate singer in Los Angeles tonight.

Sandra Bullock, who plays the Christian brave lady of The Blind Side, has been at large praised for her credible description of a affluent lady who is dynamic to do great for teen Michael Oher. Newcomer Gabourey Sidibe, on the alternative hand, has been hailed as a forked new bent in the fatiguing lead purpose of Precious, a lady who usually usually manages to lift herself transparent of her underclass roots.

Whoever claims the prize, the feat will be about majority some-more than behaving skill: the dual drive-in theatre have gained commend from dual really opposite domestic constituencies. Since the recover in America last year, in time for Thanksgiving celebrations, The Blind Side has been championed by majority of the same rightwing activists who took Sarah Palin to their hearts during the presidential choosing debate a year and a half ago.

In fact, Bullock"s characterisation of the pencil-skirted, moneyed Leigh Anne Tuohy, an button of the religiously scrupulous fortitude of America, has been regularly likened to Palin, quite as rumours of a new presidential pull for the former administrator of Alaska benefit credence.

Liberal critics have taken a rather opposite view, describing the movie as patronising and pompous towards black youth. Some have dubbed the movie an practice "in white guilt", whilst the New York Times has forked out how small shade time is afforded to Oher"s deprived background, going on to indicate the movie makers are "interested usually in that universe as an arise for resourceful charity".

Instead they hold up executive Lee Daniels" description of Claireece Precious Jones as a delight of dirty amicable realism. According to the clearly Democratic-leaning Rolling Stone magazine, the movie "tunnels inside your head, leaves you changed similar to no movie in years and afterwards rises you up in ways you don"t see coming. Despite the suffering at the story"s core, the movie has a suggestion that soars. Gabourey Sidibe"s strange entrance brims with courage and extraordinary grace, digs end out of buried dreams. I don"t know how executive Lee Daniels functions his magic. But once Precious gets the hooks in to you, no approach is it vouchsafing go."

Bullock"s film, that is expelled here on twenty-six Mar and was destined by John Lee Hancock, is formed on the fairy-tale, true-life comment of the tour taken by the immature American Football player Oher. Born in to a dysfunctional family in Hurt Village in Memphis, the third lowest district in the country, Oher is offering a salvation up in to the center classes by Tuohy. She welcomes him in to her family home and afterwards supports and guides him towards a career as a highly-paid sports professional.

For Oher, whose father and motherly grandfather were both murdered and whose uncle was on genocide row for murdering his wife, to have gained entrance to this absolved universe with the assistance of the Tuohy family is seen as the idealisation blessing. At propagandize Oher had regularly played law-breaker and was creatively assessed as carrying an IQ of usually 80. He had not usually never overwhelmed a football, he did not assimilate the judgment of the ocean. Once Tuohy had swayed her rich husband, Sean, to take him in to their home to live to one side their cheerleader daughter, Collins, and their son, Sean Jnr, he was soon neat both as a diver and as a student, in the future apropos one of the majority sought-after high propagandize football talents of his year.

Precious, on the alternative hand, is a cut of grimness served up privately to exhibit the gaping holes in the American system. Based on the 1996 novel Push by Sapphire, it follows the teen by incestuous rape and HIV infection as she scrambles her approach towards self-improvement opposite all the odds.

The domestic interests vested in the quarrel for the majority appropriate singer endowment are usually one covering of stress in the diligent night ahead. To plagiarise Johnny Carson"s critical acknowledgement about the length of the ceremony, the Oscars suggest radio viewers dual hours of heated shaken tension, rigourously widespread out over 4 hours of coverage (although the broadcasters are anticipating for usually 3 hours this year).

Comperes Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin will have to work tough progressing gait and the clarity of fun as the winners are speedy to verbalise for usually 45 seconds in a year when the shortlist for majority appropriate movie has been extended to 10 for the initial time, and when debate strategies have been some-more argumentative than ever before. Earlier this year, Nicolas Chartier – one of the producers of The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow"s shade diagnosis of the work of explosve ordering teams in Iraq – was criminialized from in attendance tonight"s rite since he had misguidedly texted friends in the Academy – in alternative words, alternative choosing by casting votes members – enlivening them to expel their list for his movie rather than that of the alternative prime for majority appropriate film, James Cameron"s record-grossing Avatar.

Sensitivities everywhere in this majority prestigious difficulty since Cameron is Bigelow"s ex-husband and since the dual drive-in theatre have turn black of dual really opposite brands of Hollywood product. Cameron"s movie is pristine spectacle, resourceful but escapist and really expensive. Bigelow"s fight film, in contrast, creates on purpose worried viewing, will have some-more singular box bureau interest and was done for a not as big bill (although one that still dwarfs majority British productions).

Proof of the efforts done to set upon just the right tone, on a night that will lay unclothed the groups in the Los Angeles party community, has come in the last-minute preference to embankment a comic blueprint that targeted the fantastical calm of Cameron"s sci-fi epic.

The British stand up comic Sacha Baron Cohen was to have appeared in a short method to one side the American stand up comic Ben Stiller but the block was inexplicably pulled this month, with the reason that there had been "artistic differences". Cameron, who won a slew of Oscars for Titanic, might have pulled off an additional box bureau coup, but it appears the Hollywood blockbuster appurtenance is in defensive mode tonight.

If Bigelow does win majority appropriate executive for The Hurt Locker, however, her majority critical feat will not have been to have triumphed over a former father or over a cinematic juggernaut, but to have turn the initial womanlike executive to take the statuette. She is already one of usually 4 women to be shortlisted for the majority appropriate executive endowment in the Academy"s 81-year history.

Punishment could pull victimised Ashley Cole close to Chelsea exit | Chelsea

Matt Hughes, Deputy Football Correspondent & , : {}

Ashley Cole has set himself on a incident march with Chelsea after determining to competition any disciplinary sanctions handed out by the bar for his purpose in a array of purported sex scandals.

Senior total at Stamford Bridge wish to excellent Cole �400,000 over claims that he regularly pennyless bar manners and tarnished Chelseas image, but the England left behind believes that he has been singled out for special diagnosis and is dynamic to quarrel his corner.

Coles feelings are so clever that there is a risk of a poignant difference building with the Barclays Premier League club, that could even lead to his departure. He is accepted to feel victimised and intends to contend as most during his disciplinary conference with Ron Gourlay, the Chelsea arch executive, this week.

It is demonstrative of his state of mind that he has nonetheless to apologize to Steve Atkins, the clubs head of communications, who, it is claimed, was misled in to organising an attempted cover in the arise of allegations that Cole smuggled Ann Corbitt, an American internal supervision worker, in to his room at the teams Seattle road house during last summers pre-season debate to the United States.

TONY CASCARINO: Cole tests faithfulness

Cole is additionally unfortunate that his diagnosis has differed from that afforded to John Terry, the Chelsea captain, who, rather than a disciplinary hearing, noticed open subsidy from the bar and Carlo Ancelotti, the manager, during his well-documented personal difficulties.

Terry was since special management by Ancelotti to miss the FA Cup fifth-round tie opposite Cardiff City ten days ago whilst he flew to Dubai to outlay time with his mother after the explanation of his event with Vanessa Perroncel, the one-time partner of Wayne Bridge, his England and former Chelsea team-mate.

Chelseas on all sides is that the cases are utterly different, since for all the annoyance caused by the pale headlines involving Terry, his indiscretions were in isolation counts carried out in his own time. Cole, on the alternative hand, stands indicted of violation bar manners by bringing women behind to the group road house on at slightest 3 occasions.

Coles strong eagerness to mistreat a comparison central such as Atkins is the source of genuine annoy inside the club, adding to the clarity that a on all sides has to be taken. Roman Abramovich, the owner, told Gourlay last week that something had to be finished to strengthen the clubs image, that led to the arch senior manager reminding the complete first-team patrol of their responsibilities and has increasing their integrity to retaliate Cole.

It would not be the initial time that Cole, 29, has felt constrained to leave a bar since of noticed injustices.

The souring of his attribute with Arsenal stemmed from what he noticed as a profanation when he was offering a new stipulate value �55,000 a week, when he was looking a understanding closer to �80,000.

Cole sealed a new five-year stipulate value �100,000 a week last summer, but would have no necessity of suitors should he turn available, quite if he earnings from an ankle damage to stir for England during this summers World Cup finals.

Barcelona and Inter Milan have done inquiries in the past and notwithstanding what would presumably be a large send price might do so again, since the default of high-quality full backs in the universe game.
