£1m fracking promised money should give
Diplomatic correspondent(wp/t):::
Prime Minister told an audience in Lancashire, where fracking is due to resume next year: "We are looking at trying to have a very simple system where every time a well is dug, immediately £1m goes to the local community.
"And not just to the local council but actually to local people, so people can see a cash benefit in their local village, in their local town and even, potentially, in their local pocket as well."
In fact, ministers in June backed a proposal from the shale gas industry to offer local communities £100,000 in an upfront payment for each exploration or appraisal well site where fracking takes place.
Downing Street sources confirmed the Prime Minister had slipped up and the correct figure was £100,000.
Fracking, which involves pumping water, sand and chemicals into the ground to extract gas trapped in the rocks, has faced fierce local opposition. Protestors have attempted to block fracking firm Cuadrilla from drilling for oil at Balcombe in Sussex
Prime Minister said the government was working to dispel “myths” over fracking and pledged: “Nothing is going to happen in this country unless it’s environmentally safe.
“There is no question of having earthquakes and fire coming out of taps,” he said. “There will be very clear environmental procedures and certificates you will have to get before you can frack."
Mr Cameron said he did not want Britain to miss out on "cheaper energy" and wanted to emulate the shale gas boom in the US.
He said that the promised community benefits - labelled 'bribes' by their critics - were key to winning over local communities.
“I think if people can see a direct benefit from fracking and from shale gas they will be more willing to really look at the arguments about, ‘what will this mean for my community if it goes ahead’. I think in that way we can see wells dug and we can see the benefits of shale gas here in the country," he said.
As well as the upfront payment when a well is drilled, Mr Cameron said that "if that well is successful, even more money should be ploughed back into the local community".
This matched proposals by shale gas explorers who have promised they will also provide 1pc of the revenues if drilling succeeds and production begins, with this money split between the local community and the county.
country Onshore Operators Group estimates this could be worth between £5m and £10m per production site over a period of 25-years. Total benefits across the country could be in excess of £1.1bn.
::::INSIDE TRAVEL::Olympic Park:::::how London's newest outdoor gig venue shaped up
travel reporter(wp/g):::
On a weekend when music-lovers' attentions were turned towards a Somerset farm, London's latest outdoor music venue opened for business. It is way out east, not in a fashionable hipster corner, but in the Lea Valley hinterland. Accessed via a shopping centre and a long, dreary walk from Stratford station, it is nowhere near the glittering, 80,000-capacity stadium that is the pride of the area.
Instead, it sits on an eerie expanse of flat concrete, partially covered in AstroTurf, not luscious green grass. "Olympic Park?" railed critics after this weekend's Hard Rock Calling festival. "Olympic Car Park, more like."
After going to last summer's glorious sporting celebrations in Stratford, it's fair to say that my first impressions of the Olympic Park reborn weren't particularly soul-stirring either. I attended the second day of the Hard Rock Calling festival, to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, on a patch where the basketball arena used to be. The walk in was long, and the walk out was even longer; even if we were born to run, we were forced, annoyingly, to trudge our ways in and out.
But – here's the rub – I had a fantastic time. This was an experience helped in part by the glorious weather, and the shock of hearing the Born in the USA album performed, in order, under scorching blue skies. But the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park experience also offered other, better boons.
First of all, the music was pleasingly loud, an advantage of the site – for the moment at least – being in the middle of nowhere, or as near as you can get to the middle of nowhere in London. Last year, Hard Rock Calling was in the much more central location of Hyde Park, where the sound was damped, and justifiably criticised; I was there, too. Listening to the Boss from halfway back in that crowd was like hearing great rock'n'roll through a tiny iPod earbud. At the Olympic Park, the sound is appropriately athletic.
Not being in a green, grassy idyll also offers advantages. There are few dips in the ground, making sightlines to the main stage excellent from all angles (although the live screens at the sides were uselessly tiny). There's little chance of mud, too, which will please the organisers of Wireless, who come here in a few weeks (last year, their Hyde Park weekend was a boggy disaster, and conditions caused the cancellation of another show a few days later). What's more – least rock'n'roll review comment ever forthcoming – AstroTurf is quite easy on the arse, as I discovered having a post-Black Crowes loaf.
The queues for toilets were fine, too, and it didn't take long to get a drink; I even loved the Mad Max vibes coming off the Olympic Village flats to the right of the main stage, an oddly fitting backdrop for Springsteen's sad, urban narratives. How Mumford & Sons will fare in this setting this weekend coming, however, is hard to say. Also, if the rain returns, there are few places to shelter. A soggy day on concrete watching four men in waistcoats with banjos? Even for their fans, it won't be the same as Glastonbury.
Crucially, however, future gigs will not happen right here – although some part of the Olympic Park is intended to be a fixture on London's gig circuit. Instead, a new E20 neighbourhood, Chobham Manor, will occupy this spot, and will include two nursery schools, community centres and restaurants. In the future, therefore, the walk to hear live music might be shorter, but sound might once again be a perilous problem. For this summer, however, the music is allowed to be Olympian.

Amazon takes on the art world with new section selling everything from prints
ict reporter:::Amazon has taken aim at the online art world with a new section selling everything from £130 prints to a £3.1m Norman Rockwell oil painting.
The new Amazon Art service, which launches today, includes 40,000 pieces of art from 150 galleries and dealers, including London’s DegreeArt.
Artists such as Damien Hirst, Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol are already being offered for sale.
"We are excited to bring one of the largest selections of fine art direct from galleries to our customers," said Amazons’s Peter Faricy, vice president for the Amazon Marketplace.
"Amazon Art gives galleries a way to bring their passion and expertise about the artists they represent to our millions of customers."
Customers can buy photographs by Clifford Ross starting at £130, Andy Warhol’s ‘Sachiko’ for £29,000, Claude Monet’s ‘L’Enfant a la tasse, portrait de Jean Monet’ for £945,000, and Norman Rockwell’s “Willie Gillis: Package from Home” for £3.1m - all without having to leave their computer.
"We’re excited to list our artwork on Amazon to make it more convenient for our existing clientele, and to help us reach new clientele," said Holden Luntz, owner and founder of Holden Luntz Gallery.
"We operate a wonderful fine art gallery, yet realise that the models for dealing in contemporary arts have evolved in this digital age and ecommerce is a channel to reach more clientele."
The move comes just a day after Amazon boss Jeff Bezos announced he was buying the Washington Post.

suspected knife murderer was arrested on a London
Crime reporter,London(wp/es):::
A suspected knife murderer was arrested on a London bus today after one woman was fatally stabbed, another critically injured and a teenage girl seriously hurt.
A man aged 40 was detained in the early hours by Met officers who boarded the bus in Streatham after a manhunt lasting several hours.
Neighbours said the primary school age son of the dead woman saw his mother being stabbed to death as he got ready for his evening bath, before fleeing covered in blood. Another witness described seeing another woman shouting “please no” and “help me, it’s murder” before being grabbed by the neck and having a kitchen knife plunged into her back.
Blood was still visible this afternoon on the windows and flat of a balcony where that attack took place. The horrific scenes were discovered by police when they were called to two addresses in Brixton yesterday evening.
At the first, in Redlands Way, police found a woman aged 46 with stab wounds and other injuries. She was in a critical condition in hospital today.
Half an hour later at another home in nearby Tilson Gardens officers found a 28-year-old woman dead from stab wounds. A 17-year-old relative of the woman was found there. She had been knifed. Both the older women are believed to be either current or ex-partners of the man arrested.
At the Redlands Way stabbing a local woman who did not want to be named, told how she confronted the attacker after watching him “hack” his victim many times. The sports science graduate, aged 22, said: “I was in the park and looked up to the balcony and this guy was hitting her with a butcher’s cleaver. I shouted, ‘How can you do that?’. He said, ‘Keep out of other people’s business’.
The man fled and the witness ran to the second floor to find the woman with multiple injuries. She said: “She had many stab wounds, to her back, lots of chops to her head and neck and all the fingers on her right hand were broken. She was just saying, ‘My neck’s bleeding’. ”
The woman said the victim’s daughter was sitting on the sofa in a trance-like state watching CBeebies.
As police sought to calm residents, some today told of the distressing scenes that they had witnessed. Sandra Scheck, 46, a mother-of-two who lives near the woman who died in Tilson Gardens, said: “The children were playing outside. Suddenly my six-year-old daughter knocked at the door shouting, ‘Mum, come and see, blood’.
“Her son then came to see me and was naked but for a towel, covered in blood and asking for his bath. He said that he saw a man with a knife and was making stabbing gestures. My daughter was in total shock at what she had witnessed and we were up all night looking after her and letting her know that everything will be okay.”
The victim’s son was today understood to be under the care of the local authority. A witness also saw the attack on the 46-year-old woman as she shouted for help. Describing the incident, the woman, who did not want to be named, said: “All of sudden the kids started screaming and running off. I looked up and saw a man. He had her by the scruff of the neck. She was saying, ‘Please no’ and then ‘help me, help me, it’s murder’. The next thing I know he stuck the knife in her back, right there on the balcony. It was in the top of her back near the shoulders.”
Police were today patrolling nearby streets in an attempt to reassure residents and said they believed that the arrest on the bus had ended any threat to the public. Detective Inspector Will Reynolds said: “We are confident that there are no outstanding suspects.”
Officers tracked down the suspect to a bus in Leigham Court Road in Streatham shortly before 1am. He was arrested on suspicion of murder and was today in a south London police station.
