Iraq minister: US combat troops to pull out in three years under new deal.

American soldiers will withdraw from cities across Iraq next summer and all US combat troops will leave the country within three years, provided the violence remains low, under the terms of a draft agreement with the Iraqi Government.

In one of the most detailed insights yet into the content of the deal, Hoshyar Zebari, the Iraqi Foreign Minister, has also told The Times that the US military would be barred from unilaterally mounting attacks inside Iraq from next year.

In addition, the power of arrest for US soldiers would be curbed by the need to hand over any detainee to a new, US-Iraqi committee. Troops would require the green light from this joint command before conducting any operation.

John Terry

It's United who have peaked, not Chelsea.

All those who relish the cut and thrust of the Barclays Premier League will be reassured to learn that, even at an event designed to promote better relations between players, managers and referees, John Terry could not resist the opportunity to stick the boot in. The Chelsea captain poured scorn on the repeated claims of Sir Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United manager, that Chelsea have peaked, insisting instead that it is United who will struggle to replicate their stunning performances of last season.

Ferguson has said several times this summer that the Chelsea side are too old, incapable of further improvement and even compared them to the disintegrating Liverpool side of the late Eighties, insinuations that Terry gave short shrift. With a new World Cup-winning manager, top-class signings such as José Bosingwa and Deco and a harmonious dressing-room, Chelsea should be stronger this season, with Terry doubting whether the same can be said of United.

Liam Gallagher on celebrity, fatherhood and hating Coldplay.

Liam Gallagher prefers being a stay-at-home dad these days, but he’s not lost his rock’n’roll swagger.

Liam Gallagher says he and his brother “are two totally different people and the sooner people realise that the less we can go on about it”. Fair enough, but, having interviewed Noel several years ago, I can report the Gallagher boys have more in common than being in the same band and having the same mum and dad: extreme candour, for one thing. You asked Noel a question, you got a straight answer. If anything, his kid brother is even more straight-talking. Also (and I didn’t think this could be possible), Liam swears even more.

When I ask Liam what he thinks the public thinks of him, for instance, he says: “Loudmouth blagging gobshite from Manchester…and they’d be totally correct.” Or here he is on the subject of Wayne Rooney’s wedding to Coleen McLoughlin, which had taken place, and subsequently appeared in OK! magazine, not long before we met. “You’ve got this kid who’s f****** 19 [22] or whatever the f*** he is, who 20 minutes ago was playing for Everton, having a five million pound wedding! How do you f****** grasp that?” ...
