Taxpayers’ money is being used to allow families to live in expensive privately-owned homes

Thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money is being used to allow families to live in expensive privately-.owned homes, it emerged
Under a scheme to reduce housing waiting lists, councils are allowed to help those at risk of homelessness rent from a private landlord.
Tenants claim housing benefit to cover the costs, but with rental rates for such properties in certain parts of London standing at more than £1,000 a week, the system has come under fire.
Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell criticised the scheme for enabling people on benefits to live in homes that were out of reach of "hard-working families" and pledged to make it fairer. His comments came as the Evening Standard revealed that one landlord was paid £1,125-a-week by the state for a family to live in a £1.5 million four-bedroom mews house in an exclusive part of London.
Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council, which arranged the rental, admitted it had used private accommodation to house more than 400 families under its LetStart scheme since 2006.
Earlier this month, the Government announced a review into how housing benefit works after it came to light that taxpayers were paying £2,875 per week to house a family in a west London mansion under Local Housing Allowance rates for landlords.
Ealing Council revealed it had turned to the private sector for a home for Toorpakai Saindi and her seven children in July after the Government said the family was entitled to a seven-bedroom house which the authority could not supply.
Kensington and Chelsea Borough Council introduced LetStart in February 2006.
Under the scheme, the council helps residents into private accommodation by paying the deposit and the first month's rent. The council said it uses a "rolling" annual budget of £600,000 to meet those costs.
The deposit is recouped when the tenant moves out and the rent is paid back via housing benefit. Tenants are then responsible for paying their rent, which in practice comes from the housing benefit they claim

A controversial scientist who preserves human corpses and displays them to the public has defended his latest exhibition.

Gunther von Hagens, whose Body Worlds And The Mirror Of Time exhibition opens to the public at the O2 Arena in London on Friday, said he was presenting a "health message."
A total of 200 cadavers from babies to the elderly have been arranged in lifelike poses, as part of the scientist's latest Body Worlds exhibition

They have all been preserved using Dr von Hagens' controversial "plastination" technique. This involves peeling the skin back to reveal the inner organs, arteries and muscles and encasing it all in plastic.
"This exhibition is all about the cycle of life, from the spark of conception, to the development of a mature body, and it goes through to elderly people," he said.

? Why don't people want to play with me

"It shows the whole spectrum of life. It shows how we develop and we age. We realise how our lifestyle entrances our organs, our body, and in this way, our capability in life, our length of life and how we feel.
"People will learn about the importance of their bodies. They will learn how fragile and how strong the body is. They will learn that they have to take care of their bodies, and eat less excessive food and smoke less, and refrain from drugs.
"It gives a strong message, it is a life-changing experience, only the real is able to change our habits," the scientist explained.
Mirror Of Time is Dr von Hagens' first London exhibition since 2003. His previous Body Worlds shows have been dubbed "the goriest on earth" for their no-holds barred look at human anatomy.
But he rubbished claims that his work was frightening, saying it helped visitors to "understand death

Tom Cruise has got revenge on chat show host Matt Lauer

Tom Cruise got his revenge on US talk show host Matt Lauer on Friday morning.
The Mission Impossible star made a surprise appearance at a 'roast' of the Today Show newsman at the Friars Club in New York.
He went on stage and hugged Matt, before telling the audience that he would do anything for his "good friend Matt".
The duo famously sparred on TV in 2005, with the presenter questioning Tom's religion of Scientology, his then-engagement to Katie Holmes and prescription drugs.
But Tom got his back three years later.
"Believe it or not, Matt and I are best friends; we do everything together," the actor told the crowd as he flipped through Photoshopped photos of the two swimming and barbequing together.
"My life is made up of jumping from international film set to fancy party, from fancy party to international film set, while you have been content to do the same thing everyday: Sit on the couch until Father Time and GE think you are too old and too boring."
He ended his speech by saying: "In front of all these people, I just want you to know I can't believe I flew all the way out here. Now, lose my number

Eminem

Eminem has spent the past few years out of the limelight battling to get over the death of his best friend, the rapper has revealed in a frank new memoir

The Slim Shady star was inconsolable after pal and fellow rapper Deshaun Holton also know as Proof, was gunned down in 2006 outside a club.
"After he passed, it was a year before I could really do anything normally again," Eminem writes in "The Way I Am".
"It was tough for me to even get out of bed, and I had days when I couldn't walk, let alone write a rhyme."
"I have never felt so much pain in my life. It's a pain that is with me to this day. A pain that has become a part of who I am."
He credits Proof with encouraging him to start rapping.
"If Proof hadn't gotten me ... into the rap game, I don't know where I'd be," he writes. "I certainly wouldn't be someone you've heard of."
Eminem's new track, "I'm Having a Relapse," has caused a stir on the Web and is fueling talk of a new record and maybe even a tour.
He hasn't released an album since 2004's Encore
