Lord Sugar's final four are revealed
Thursday 14 July 2011
Susan Ma, Jim Eastwood, Helen Milligan and Tom Pellereau are all competing this Sunday to win the business opportunity of a lifetime.
The final will see the four grilled by some of Lord Sugar's toughest associates including Claude Littner, Mike Soutar, Matthew Riley and Margaret Mountford. Each one will have their business proposal interrogated and challenged by the interviewers to see which is the best project for Sugar to invest in.
Lord Sugar says: "Once my trusted colleagues get them under the microscope I have no doubt that flaws will be uncovered, and we will see who truly warrants my investment."
And five became four last night after Natasha Scribbins became the latest person to be fired. The teams had been tasked with setting up their own fast food restaurant but despite Scribbins having a degree in hospitality management she failed to add much value to the project.
Natasha forgot eveything she had learned during her degree apparently!
Industry experts awarded Venture's Caraca's Mexican restaurant an average score of four out of 10. Lord Sugar blasted the chicken fajita he was served by saying: "The last time I saw something like that was when my son's dog puked."

Columbus was British, according to Tom and Helen!
Recruitment manager Scribbins said she should not be held responsible for the loss, saying that her degree was "a long time ago" and that she had never wanted to be a restaurateur.
Speaking on The Apprentice: You're Fired she said: "In retrospect, if I'd grabbed it and become project manager again, I would have put 110% in and that sounds like a selfish thing to say but I would have had autonomy over it and I would have dug out my knowledge that I had for my degree."

- 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.
