British Prime Minister David Cameron cooked supper for Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg ahead of their alliance to form the government. Mr Cameron revealed he chose home-cooking to cement the LibDem-Conservative alliance. The PM said he and his now deputy Clegg had a cosy supper together to help them forge their coalition. “Nick came over to my house and I cooked him supper,” Cameron told Real Radio Yorkshire in an interview.

“It wasn’t anything particularly creative. It was just ham, baked potatoes and salad or something,” he said. “I love cooking. One of the things I’m going to miss is not doing so much cooking,” he said. —IANS

Alligator’s night out in Germany
Berlin, July 2: An alligator was found roaming the streets of a small German town in the middle of the night, authorities said on Friday. The police in Gross-Rohrheim got a phone call at 2 am on Thursday from a bystander who said he had just seen an alligator walking in front of a motorcycle shop in the centre of town.
“At first they just broke out laughing..,” said police spokesman Ferdinand Derigs. “But here in the state of Hesse we’re ready for anything that comes our way.”
Two officers dispatched to investigate were able to capture the 3.3-foot long alligator with equipment ordinarily used to capture dogs. “The alligator was taken into custody,” the police said in a statement.
