Shakira hoping pay slips don't lie
Shakira, the Latin Grammy-winning singer, is due in court in Barcelona on Monday on charges of defrauding the Spanish tax authorities of €14.5m (£12.7m).
The 46-year-old Colombian musician, who lives in Miami with her two children, could face up to eight years in jail and a €24m fine if found guilty.
The case is based on the assertion that in the years 2012 to 2014 Shakira spent more than six months as a Spanish resident, thus making her liable for tax, a claim she denies.
In order to prove she was a Spanish resident, the prosecution has called 117 witnesses, among them hairdressers, studio technicians, dance teachers, therapists, beauticians, gynaecologists and her chauffeur.
Aberdeen has ‘strong claim’ to be GB Energy headquarters, Ed Miliband says
Ed Miliband placed a vote of confidence in Aberdeen by saying it has a “strong claim” to be the headquarters of Labour’s proposed publicly-owned energy firm.

Mr Miliband made the comments during a visit to the St Fergus Gas Terminal in Aberdeenshire, joined by Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar.

Fresh housing plans for Lairhillock Inn site
A new owner is driving forward housing plans for the freshly flattened site of the Lairhillock Inn.
Where the much-loved Mearns institution once stood, just outside Stonehaven, there is now just a pile of rubble enclosed by metal fences.
The 200-year-old pub and restaurant hit hard times after the opening of the AWPR diverted drivers away from the Netherley spot.
Former owner, Sandy Law, has now sold the land to Stonehaven construction firm WM Donald, which has unveiled a new vision for it.
Richest 1% account for more carbon emissions than poorest 66%, report says
The richest 1% of humanity is responsible for more carbon emissions than the poorest 66%, with dire consequences for vulnerable communities and global efforts to tackle the climate emergency, a report says.
The most comprehensive study of global climate inequality ever undertaken shows that this elite group, made up of 77 million people including billionaires, millionaires and those paid more than US$140,000 (£112,500) a year, accounted for 16% of all CO2 emissions in 2019 – enough to cause more than a million excess deaths due to heat, according to the report.
For the past six months, the Guardian has worked with Oxfam, the Stockholm Environment Institute and other experts on an exclusive basis to produce a special investigation.
Yousaf says he was not misled by Matheson
The first minister has said he does not believe he was misled by his health secretary over his £11,000 iPad bill.
On Thursday Michael Matheson admitted an £11,000 data roaming charge was caused by his sons watching football while on a family holiday in Morocco.
He informed Humza Yousaf of the truth on Tuesday after initially insisting the device had been used for parliamentary work.
Opposition leaders have called on Mr Matheson to resign.
On BBC Radio 4's Broadcasting House programme on Sunday, Mr Yousaf was asked if Mr Matheson misled him.
"No, I don't believe Michael did," he said.
