BB's John James makes bolt for freedom
Tuesday 27 July 2010
The Australian housemate was upset after trying to tell Bristol lass Josie he just wants to be friends with her, leading to a row. John James was upset as he told Josie: "I never, ever wanted to hurt you."
He was called to the Diary Room for nominations and suddenly bolted for the fire exit in the garden and disappeared into the camera runs.
Housemates Dave and JJ tried to follow him shouting: "Don't be stupid" but were stopped by a security guard who told them: "Once you leave you will not be allowed back in the house."
Josie sat rolling a cigarette on the bench by the fire exit laughing:
"He's an idiot. He'll be back in a minute. I don't know why he's doing this to me."
All the other housemates believed John James had left because he was worried about nominating his friends to face the public vote for eviction.
Voices could be heard from the camera runs and Josie kept laughing and shouting: "John James if you don't come back I'll never speak to you again." The other housemates applauded when he reappeared, crying, after a few minutes.
He walked to the Diary Room door but Josie went to talk to him and hugged him as he wept: "I don't want to hurt you." Josie told him: "We're mates. Don't go and talk about it in there. I'm in a state of shock over what's just happened I think."
They went to chat in the bedroom and Josie got upset as she told him: "You ran away because I fancy you. That's what it looks like."

- The Real Mr & Mrs Assad: Channel 4 Dispatches
Channel 4 Dispatches reveals a portrait of a golden couple who have become global hate figures. The programme shows intimate footage of President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma as they've never been seen on British television before, and images that help explain why the West bought the idea they were true modernisers. When Bashar took the reins of power after his father's death in 2000, the West was drawn into a hope and belief that Syria would be a new force for change in the Middle East. The Assads were seen as a glamorous couple with modern Western morals and values; he was hailed a reformer, she was the 'Rose of the Desert'. Key leaders and figures in the West welcomed the young couple, convinced that the softly spoken London-trained ophthalmologist and his beautiful British-born former investment banker wife would bring reform and modernisation to a country that had been run by an iron-fisted dictator for nearly 30 years. But it seems the West was duped. Instead of a transparent and progressive leadership, what has emerged during a year-long bloody uprising is evidence of the regime's gross systematic human rights abuses, including widespread killings and torture, while the Assads look on. Channel 4 Dispatches investigates the extent of the Assad family's culpability and the chains of command that link the President and select inner circle to the brutal crackdown.

- Afghanistan: The Great Game - A Personal View By Rory Stewart
Afghanistan: one of the most isolated and barren landscapes on earth is a strange place for an empire or superpower to invade. But for three of the greatest powers the world has seen, it became an unlikely target and an enduring obsession. The 19th century British invasions into Afghanistan, immortalised by Rudyard Kipling as "The Great Game", ended in huge loss of life and British retreat, and set a template for the perils of incursion in this mountainous country. In this two-part series, author, journalist and former Deputy Governor during the coalition's occupation of Iraq, Rory Stewart MP travels to Afghanistan to uncover the fears, the paranoia and perceived threats that led three very different Ssperpowers: Britain, Russia and the United States into Afghanistan from the 19th century to the present day.
