The news is
flowing hot and heavy from
Barcelona, and the latest succulent tidbits to land in our laps are these. First up, a fresh
version of
Nokia Maps is on tap, which includes "a number of new features such as high-resolution aerial
images, 3D landmarks for 216 cities and terrain maps, as well as a new route overview during
routing and during Drive, the purchasable turn-by-turn car navigation guidance." Furthermore, users
will find new options such as access to real time information (camera alerts, safety spots, traffic
information, etc.) and Wcities event guides that give real time information for events and movies
in over 450 destinations. Next is Nokia Messaging -- which is bringing popular IM services to the
majority of Nokia handsets -- and Mail on Ovi, which enables PC users to "create and access Ovi
email accounts as well as gain cross access to other Ovi services with just a single sign-on
account." Plunge into the links below for more details on each.

width="1" height="1" //divpGordon Brown has returned to New Labour's so-called "respect agenda"
with proposals that all benefit cheats will lose access to benefits for a month, and also find
themselves subject to lie detector tests. /ppThe "one strike and your out" proposals forms part of
a tough commentary on the Queen's speech released today by the Cabinet Office./ppFresh proposals
are also to be launched to give the public clearer information on how criminals were sentenced in
local courts, while communities are to be given a bigger role in deciding what form of community
punishment local criminals should be forced to undertake. /ppThe government also highlighted a
pilot covering 25 local councils administering housing benefit to 500,000 claimants, saying "voice
risk analysis technology" will be used to test whether a claimant is providing false information.
The government first introduced the technology in Harrow in north London last year, but now says it
plans to make the technology available nationwide. In the first three months Harrow council saved
£300,000, suggesting levels of benefit fraud may be higher than government estimates.
/ppMinisters are taking the action even though benefit fraud is now officially at the lowest level
ever recorded, down 66% since 2001. /ppThe government currently withdraws benefit for at least 13
weeks to anyone found making a fraudulent benefit claim twice in five years, but said it intends to
harden this process by punishing first-time benefit fraud with four weeks' withdrawal. The action
will be taken against those that suffer an administrative penalty and those found guilty in court.
/ppThe Department of Work and Pensions applies civil penalties where the fraud is worth less than
£2,000./ppMinisters also announced plans to make claimants for employment support allowance
(ESA), the new incapacity benefit, commit themselves to complete an action plan designed to make
them "work ready" in return for benefit. /ppa
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/dec/02/welfare-trade-unions"Lone parents with
children aged between one and seven are also to be required for the first time/a as a condition of
benefit to make themselves work ready by attending regular interviews with employment staff,
drawing up an action plan and making themselves available to take skills, health or drug courses.
/pp The proposals in a new government report were put forward by Professor Paul Gregg, who said
today he did not expect the proposals to come into force until the recession had ended. About
300,000 ESA claimants will be deemed to be too mentally or physical unfit to prepare for work.
Gregg also proposed that a clearer sanctions regime is introduced since at present different
sanctions apply according to the benefit claimed. /ppIn other proposals the Cabinet Office paper
suggests the power of public servants to use force may be strengthened. It argues that "the public
looks to healthcare professionals, neighbourhood wardens and teachers to deal with unacceptable
behaviour in public places. If they are not able to fulfil that role because they are not sure the
law is on their side, or because they do not see it as part of their job. that sends the wrong
message about what we as a society are prepared to tolerate."/ppIt also suggests most family
intervention projects will reach 20,000 families with the most severe difficulties./ppThe paper
also proposes an alcohol code limiting "all you can drink" promotions, and setting conditions on
premises in particular local trouble hotspots. Lap dancing clubs will be reclassified as sex
establishments so local councils have greater scope to close them. Ministers are also to look at
