該名工作人員以挖泥車成功偷運入內的是假的Semtex塑膠炸藥，它被放置在僅距主場館數米的保安森嚴區其間通過兩個檢查站。當時距離主場館正式對外開放僅24小時，距離奧運揭幕則僅餘下82天。

英國《太陽報》日前接獲該名奧運地盤工人的投訴，指這個位於倫敦東部的奧運主場館，保安充滿漏洞。該報因此把一個假彈交給該名工人，以測試場內保安情況，果然證實能成功偷運假炸彈入內。

在該名工作人員成功偷運假彈入場後，他曾把它放置在將有1萬7000人入住的選手村旁邊拍照，然後又把假彈放在場館前影相留念。在他帶著假彈到處逛的25分鐘期間，都沒有保安人員過問。

當記者就今次保安漏洞向內政部查詢時，內政部指奧林匹克公園的保安由奧運主辦單位LOCOG負責，當局將會要求對方調查今次事件，並向當局提交緊急報告。

  英國政府日前作出決定，政府公務員和一些公共單位工作人員在奧運會和殘奧會期間可在家上班，時間長達7周。

  這項決定目的是為了緩解奧運期間的交通擁堵，涉及的人員有數千人，占所有英國政府公務員總數的百分之四十；另外的人也被要求改變上班時間，或者幹脆安排休假。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb3 ~. d. C0 S! \' x9 D' O

礦企爭上奧運場: M! E- L: }7 F

力拓（Rio Tinto）銅業部門負責人安德魯．哈丁對旗下位於美國猶他州的科力托銅礦頗為自豪。按照他的說法，這個直徑將近5公里，深度達1300多米的露天銅礦，是可以在太空中肉眼可見的極少數人造奇跡之一。

對於廣大沒機會上太空的人來說，想看到這個著名的“草帽坑”，借助電子地圖自然是望梅止渴的選項之一。如果只觀其神不計其形的話，在即將舉行的倫敦奧運會上盯住領獎台，也能見識到科力托銅礦的蹤影——力拓為倫敦奧運會和殘奧會提供金屬原材料，用以打造4700枚金牌、銀牌和銅牌。這些變成獎牌的金屬取自科力托銅礦，以及力拓在蒙古的奧尤陶勒蓋項目。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。# i% S- R( M: a

雖然在倫敦股市上，力拓的股價在過去12個月裡下跌了大約18%，但這並不妨礙公司拿出8噸金屬來打造“史上最貴的獎牌”。力拓贊助的倫敦奧運會金牌重量約400克，直徑85毫米，厚度有7毫米，在重量和體積上都創造了夏季奧運會的歷史之最。這樣沉甸甸的傢伙，不禁讓人為那些“多金王”選手的頸椎感到擔心。

當然，理論上說有資格挂金牌的選手擁有這個星球上最優質的身體素質，更何況獎牌擁有的巨大價值也足以讓他們打起精神。按照力拓給出的金牌成份表，一塊金牌主要由92.5%的銀和6.16%的銅構成，金的含量只佔可憐的1.34%，但即使這樣，在金銀這些貴金屬價格居於高位的情況下，每塊金牌的金屬成本也達到歷史最高的786.4美元。9 O5 m) }- x/ k

當然，由於每塊金牌都凝結著更多的競技含義和社會價值，因此金屬成本可能只是其百分之一。比如一個多月前烏克蘭運動員克里琴科為籌集善款拍賣他在1996年亞特蘭大奧運會上贏得的重量級拳擊金牌，就拍出了100萬美元的天價。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。' ]8 F; R7 _5 }' a! R) Q

而對於企業來說，即使是上百萬美元也只是小菜一碟，因為他們看重的是贊助奧運帶來的社會效益和政治意義，所以贊助商們踩破了國際奧委會的門檻。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。# c) K" K" i5 N

不過在贊助過程中，力拓與可口可樂這樣直接面對消費者的奧運頂級贊助商不同，雖然從飛機的外殼到蘋果iPad的鋁制背板等很多部件都要用到力拓的產品，但作為B2B公司的宿命就是消費品上面並不會留下任何標識——除非把一個“力拓outside”的不幹膠標識貼得滿世界都是。

因此，對於力拓這樣的公司來說，贊助奧運更多的是一場維護公司形象的行動，是一場不得不打的“戰爭”。比如四年前北京奧運會的時候，必和必拓掏出真金白銀做獎牌，就是想改善其在中國貪婪的印象。而力拓兩年多前“間諜門”的負面影響至今也尚未完全消散，他們於是希望奧運賽場上瀰漫的激情能加速負面記憶的蒸發速度。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。' ?) ?, C. P$ k4 T% p! u0 h  ~

現在看來，以獎牌為介質的奧運領獎台成了全球礦業巨頭輪流亮相的秀場，金光閃閃的獎牌從某種程度上成了他們的遮羞布。北京的奧運會獎牌贊助商是必和必拓，倫敦奧運會輪到力拓。3 d( L" W  d+ `: I% \

說起下屆在巴西舉行的夏季奧運會，力拓承認“那是淡水河谷（Vale of Brazil）的地盤，我們恐怕沒什麼機會”。（新華社）

2012年倫敦奧運會和殘奧會總共需要4700枚獎牌，由位於南威爾士蘭特里桑特（Llantrisant）的英國皇家造幣廠負責製作。製作工作由18人組成的專家小組負責，製作室平時保安嚴謹，只有25人能夠獲准進入。製作奧運獎牌需要22道工序，每一道工序工人都會戴著手套完成，以確保運動員是第一個觸摸到獎牌的人。

倫敦奧運會金牌的主要成份是銀，外面鍍一層純金。銀牌的成份則是92.5%的銀以及7.5%的銅，銅牌的主要成份為97%的銅以及少量的鋅和錫。倫敦奧運會的金牌重量為400克，在重量、體積和價值上都創造了夏季奧運會的歷史之最。但倫敦奧組委建議運動員，在獲獎時最好不要使勁用牙咬金牌慶祝，因為獎牌鍍金的成份佔總重量不到1.5%，只要咬下一點就會讓金牌貶值。（新華社）

Olympic organisers Locog insist that the families had misinterpreted the word ‘ceremonies’, and that this always included the torch relay.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb0 b3 p" J2 j' D

Several Facebook groups have been set up to object and 530 people have signed a petition to pressure Locog to ‘fulfil its promises’.

Accountant Michelle Jordan, 31, whose son Luke is among the 700 children, said: ‘For years we have been telling Luke he will take part in the ceremonies and now we feel a bit stupid.

‘Locog are trying to get out of this by claiming we are confused about the wording, but some of us have letters which congratulate our children for getting a role in the ‘opening and/or closing ceremonies of the Olympic and Paralympic Games’.

He added: ‘My son had been hoping to meet the athletes or perhaps walk out into the Olympic stadium, but instead he will just stand on a stage at the torch relay in Portsmouth.

‘Even the children taking part [in tonight’s event] haven’t been told what they will be doing. I think they are making it up as they go along.’

Every year on their birthdays, the children have received cards from Lord Coe and his team addressed to ‘a very special London 2012 baby’, but many parents now feel overlooked.

To counter critics, Locog has now offered an unspecified role at the Paralympics opening ceremony’s ‘pre-show’ entertainment before the main event starts. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb* h& a  y+ a5 m9 v+ F8 n- E

Mrs Jordan said: ‘We were given two tickets to the Paralympics, so only his father can go, and  told to sort our own travel  and accommodation.

‘We have been told they don’t need to rehearse and it will be a ‘sitting role’, so presumably they will just sit in their seats.’ tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb, D, }5 }' a, P3 L

The parents were angered further when it emerged that 2,000 children from 250 schools will be given the chance to be part of the Guard of Honour for the athletes as they walk from the Olympic Village to the Olympic stadium.

‘These kids will be given a uniform to provide a Guard of Honour for the athletes entering the stadium and then invited in to the ceremony. Is that not the kind of thing we were expecting for our kids?’

And what am I bid for this piece of Olympic history?... or how flame carriers are asking up to £100,000 in eBay for their torches

Others offered to include the white-and-gold torchbearer uniforms.

Several runners asked for a minimum of £100,000. When contacted by the Mail, some said they planned to donate the proceeds to charity, but others admitted they were simply cashing in.

The majority of the 8,000 torchbearers were selected after being nominated by friends and family for their work in the community.

The 70-day relay started in Land’s End on Saturday and will finish on July 27 at the opening ceremony of the Games.tvboxnow.com9 y1 N9 R! J p

It cost £495 to make each torch, but runners were offered the chance to buy them for just £215 while those who won their places through sponsors such as Coca-Cola were given them free.

Yesterday, readers flooded Mail Online with their views. One wrote: ‘I am so incensed by this total lack of respect for anyone including us folk who were so proud to see you carrying it.’

Drogba, who plays for the Ivory Coast striker, scored the equaliser and then the winning penalty in Saturday's dramatic Champions League final win over Bayern Munich, announced yesterday he was quitting Chelsea to pursue his career elsewhere.

He departs Stamford Bridge with his reputation as one of the club's greatest players firmly intact, but he knows it could have been so much different.

Ever since the 34-year-old joined the club from Marseille in 2004 they have been chasing the European Cup and, after so many near misses, Drogba's final kick for them earned them the prize they coveted.

Had he not have scored and had Bayern gone on to win, he admits he may have been tempted to stay but, with all his loose ends tied up, he is moving on to a new chapter.

500毫升飲用水9令吉‧倫敦甚麼都貴！3 ~8 S6 ?( g& k; J

（英國‧倫敦29日訊）體壇盛事2012年倫敦奧運會還有不到2個月便開幕，不少體育迷想要前往朝聖，但倫敦的物價相對大馬已高出不少，遇上奧運盛事，不少人感嘆：倫敦真的是甚麼都貴！- c+ `* U1 W4 G" K

倫敦奧運是英國向世界展示的絕佳機會，對英國經濟也大有貢獻，英國著名的埃勞德銀行預測，奧運將為英國經濟帶來估計達210億英鎊（約1050億令吉）的貢獻。不過，羊毛出在羊身上，這210億英鎊，可能你我都有貢獻。' N/ P$ `+ W1 X: G

倫敦在非奧運期間的物價就已經讓人吃不消，據英國《每日郵報》報導，奧運期間，光是1瓶500毫升的水大約要1.8英鎊（約9令吉）、熱狗5.9英鎊（約30令吉）等，都要比平常昂貴。英國廣播公司（BBC）稱，倫敦奧運區內的居民不得不忍受少數房東哄抬房租敲詐，一些房東為了藉奧運發財，甚至想要驅趕房客。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。- a0 E- r# X; J0 Y$ D7 R! K' m

無政府主義組織“宣戰”‧倫敦奧運會危機四伏
公仔箱論壇- L5 g1 n0 [1 Y1 C  ^  [" e% D
儘管英國政府期望舉辦倫奧可刺激當地經濟，帶動英國走出經濟衰退，但意大利無政府主義組織“非正式無政府聯盟”（FAI）的英國分支，近日在無政府主義者網站325.nostate指摘當局，在許多人還為三餐溫飽掙扎的情況下，執意主辦像奧運這樣盛大的活動，只會對國家發展有害。

該組織聲言，將不惜以游擊行動損害“破壞國家形象”、“盡可能造成經濟癱瘓”，以妨礙倫奧順利舉行。
他們明確指出，金融、司法、通訊、軍事和運輸設施，是他們發動“低程度戰爭”的目標。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb: `( n! w4 n* ?: l1 A+ s

It's not the first time eyebrows have been raised over the way the Olympics has been organised. For many it has been frustrating just trying to get hold of tickets, and in January, it emerged babies who do not have tickets for the Games will be excluded - even if they had not been conceived when their parents bought seats.

A pint of beer and a jacket potato will cost £13 and a 18.7cl quarter-bottle of wine will cost £4.80.

The wine will be called simply ‘London 2012 wine’ because the supplier is not an official sponsor of the Games.

Locog has already announced a ban on bringing bottles of water into venues, saying they could be used to conceal ‘liquid bombs’.

Airport-style security means all liquids in containers of 100ml or more will be confiscated, although empty bottles will be allowed, which can be filled from free water coolers around the venues.  ' G+ w" g& g( W1 K" }# `

奥运会门票抽签揭晓，我先是失望，随即转为窃喜。
2 ]& O T6 j- E
知道奥运会一票难求，所以申请抽签的时候普遍撒网，跳水、击剑、射箭、游泳、马术、越野赛马、男子100米决赛，凡是我女儿想看的，有枣没枣打一杆子，先申请上！tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb7 ^7 r; ^* Y' v N9 V6 L

既来之则安之。拿到了奥运门票，早做安排，精打细算，省钱的办法还是有的。这里介绍一些最廉价看奥运的办法。

tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb# \( A9 r) [1 }: J3 W1 ]% W
凭借“比赛通票”，一天内可以免费乘坐伦敦1-9区内的地铁、巴士、火车、轻铁。

出行

伦敦什么都贵，交通为甚。提前做好看比赛的出行准备，是省钱的关键之一。% B7 @, t$ i' l( V, J) x" Q/ l( N

伦敦奥组委的目标是争取让观众100%的步行、骑车和乘坐公共交通工具看奥运。为此，投资1千万英镑，用于修建和改善从伦敦各地通往奥林匹克公园的步行和骑车线路。
tvboxnow.com- }. q8 l# _' d. m1 B( _8 k5 U
对于像来自中国等外国或外地的观众，人生地不熟，走着去看奥运可能不太实际。伦敦街窄车快，骑车更玄。伦敦的骑车一族有个绰号，“器官捐献者”，想想什么意思吧。1 E3 h9 O( c, D

最实际的办法是乘坐公共交通工具。伦敦的公交票价吓死人。但是，如果你手上有奥运门票，可以申请一张比赛当天的免费“比赛通票”（Games Travelcard）。凭借这张通票，可以免费乘坐伦敦1-9区内的地铁、巴士、火车、轻铁。
9 e7 y; [& k4 P& l$ A9 \! S4 U, y
看一场比赛只需几个小时，但一张通票可以使用一天。1-9区覆盖了伦敦市和四郊，看完比赛，可以“趁机”白坐车去逛名胜古迹。如果手上有不同日期的门票，可以连续免费乘车。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb% J6 X, G- `2 h: }! v: I& O8 b

如果从外地到伦敦，要做火车、大巴，也有省钱的选择。比如，英国火车运营公司National Rail 提供“比赛火车票”（Games Train Tickets）优惠，凭借奥运门票，你可以现在就提前订票，享受优惠票价，而不受通常的提前预订期限制。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。& }6 M8 f% D7 T& L# c

住宿( _4 Z+ r7 e& n
" c* H; t; N; p1 H8 [8 s
如果要在伦敦过夜，除了露宿街头，最便宜的住宿选择就是住帐篷野营了（camping）。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb( R: _3 ]8 {2 ]/ o, [/ f2 x* j. @

围绕奥林匹克公园周围，有好几个专门瞄准奥运会，与当地政府合办的野营宿营地。比如，Camp 2012，CampInLondon.com等。

天当房子地当炕，抬脚就进奥运村，野营可以为看奥运平添情趣。但是，要做好御寒准备，虽然是盛夏，但这是英国的盛夏，晚上呆在帐篷里还是很冷的。
tvboxnow.com' [& |0 N& u+ n$ @; n
比住帐篷稍贵一点的，就是“青年旅社”了（Youth Hostels）。青年旅社虽然是囊中羞涩的年轻旅人的首选，但中年人、老年人要投宿也是来者不拒，我就曾住过，相对于价钱来说还算干净舒适。: n! x. q" x, F
tvboxnow.com. W, S* z" F0 {7 _' N7 H
要住正儿八经的旅馆就比较贵了。官方的《伦敦指南》（London Guide）网站VisitLondon.com上提供廉价旅馆的选择，可以上网查询预定。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb$ Y0 g' {& {2 \( N

伦敦奥运会期间，也将上演一场盛况空前的文化盛宴。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb6 d, ]5 E4 d; [2 ]

吃喝

伦敦奥组委对入场观众携带食品饮料有严格的限制。

食品：除了婴儿食品外不得带入。

酒和软饮料：除了婴儿牛奶和个人医用酒精外不得带入。
公仔箱論壇6 t, q0 W6 t- h) U; r0 q
水：限制每人100毫升以下塑料瓶装水。
tvboxnow.com8 ~- `8 _6 M' \& U  B& S2 t. f
所以，最省钱的办法是入场前吃饱喝足，更准确的说是进入比赛场馆外围的奥林匹克公园之前。如果进了奥林匹克公园才想起买食品饮料，只能用现金或奥运会指定的Visa卡。品牌食品（branded food）只有麦当劳，因为麦当劳是奥林匹克公园内唯一指定品牌食品。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb8 z! f8 s# S' m, c% d, z0 @; x0 E

看奥运当然不仅仅是看赛场内的竞技，赛场外“文化奥林匹亚”同样不可错过。

从6月21号至9月9号，将上演一场盛况空前的文化盛宴。“伦敦2012文化艺术节”上，来自世界各地的音乐家、舞蹈家、艺术家、时装师、大厨等等将为人们展示色彩纷呈的文化艺术。

1千多场次的表演将提供一千万人次的观赏机会，大多数演出门票，包括像雷哈娜这样的当红歌星的演出，都是免费提供。8 |# W3 {; U4 B9 Z7 {

“文化奥林匹亚”不是英国人的发明。现代奥运会的创始人顾拜旦（Pierre de Coubertin）就提出，奥运竞技应该是大脑、身体和精神的综合竞技。2008年的北京奥运会，更是把文化奥林匹亚推上了一个新高点。

实际上，1912-1948年的历届奥运会，体育竞技的同时也进行艺术竞技，获胜者同样获得金、银、铜牌。( ]& q4 C' s3 p. ^$ x6 a

当然，对体育迷来说，看场外的艺术演出是“搂草打兔子”的顺便，眼睛还是盯着场内的金银铜牌。

Thousands were trying for their last chance to gain entrance to some of the most popular Olympic events as the latest tranche of tickets went on sale at 11am yesterday morning.tvboxnow.com/ M( f: Y. o7 R1 g

But almost as soon as the tickets went on sale, hundreds were already taking to Twitter to broadcast their frustration at the online buying process.

Wishful thinking? This artist's impression shows how the 2012 Games should look in full swing, but LOCOG was facing the prospect that some stadiums may not be full as the public tires of the ticket buying process

And the London Olympic organising committee (LOCOG) is also coming under pressure to explain its failure to shift 'prestige' tickets, on sale for prices ranging between £295 to £1,800.

The tickets that went on sale yesterday, 'AA' tickets for the opening ceremony cost £2,012, and the cheapest available for that event were £995. Many were still unsold by 5pm.

So far, 7million of the total 8.8million Olympic tickets have been shifted, and about half of the 2.45million Paralympic tickets, in a process that began last year.

LOCOG still has about 550,000 tickets to sell with just weeks to go to the start of the Games on July 27. 公仔箱論壇  B2 T5 y5 ^! W$ o2 G+ @" K

A large chunk of them are so-called contingency tickets which had been held back while logistics such as TV camera positions were resolved.

Even Olympics legend Daley Thompson told how he had failed to get any tickets and had 'wasted 45 minutes' on the London 2012 website.

Angry buyers told how they waited for the online system to tell them whether they had secured their chosen tickets only to be told that there were no more available.

Former Olympic gold medal winning decathlete Thompson Tweeted: 'I bet I’m not alone in being unable to get any tickets on 2012 website wasted 45mins and I want them so badly'

And Television and BBC radio presenter Sarah-Jane Crawford Tweeted: 'I’m trying to get some tickets for the Olympics but when I click ‘request tickets’ on the site, it just refreshes page and tells me nothing?'

'They have a few hundred thousand tickets which millions of people would like to buy, then they have several millions of tickets that nobody wants to buy,' said Stefan Szymanski of the University of Michigan. 'And they have a commitment to make every event a sell-out.'

The lottery-style process adopted in the early rounds allowed it to get the best price for the tickets, he said.

'The problem is that the British public didn't seem to understand this,' he added.

Alternatives, such as an auction, would have raised more revenue, but would have been resented even more by a British public that had already forked out £9.3 pounds towards getting the Games ready.1 X- u0 a" K2 B4 E+ t. f# o( `( k

The show will also include ‘a celebration of the work of the NHS’, and several hundred nurses have been chosen by Boyle to portray the ‘Best of British’.
It has also emerged that more than 10,000 members of the opening ceremony cast have switched rehearsal venues from a film studio to the site of a former Ford car plant in Dagenham, east London, so that practices can be ‘scaled up’.

Artistic director Danny Boyle plans to wow the world's sports fans by turning the  62,000-seater stadium in Stratford, east London, into an idyllic view of the  British countryside in one of the largest sets ever built.

The huge scene will even feature its very own  clouds that will provide rain on the day no matter the weather to make sure the  atmosphere is quintessentially British.

However, photos of the 'Green and Pleasant'  set released today  show that at first glance it looks more like Tinky Winky's  Teletubbyland than the  traditional rolling hills of England.

‘Yet the same International Olympic  Committee that awarded the Games to London persists in maintaining  sponsorship  deals with the purveyors of high calorie junk that  contributes to the threat of  an obesity epidemic.

‘The advertising of foods high in fat, salt  and sugar is already restricted on children’s television.

While the restaurants serve fast food  to the  hungry public, McDonald’s executives will be enjoying some of the top events  from their corporate seats.

A giant figure is positioned in the  middle  of the field which was still covered in tarpaulin when the  picture was taken.  The 80ft structure appears to be holding a staff or  wand.

In front of the  figure is the enormous  factory chimney while behind it is is a huge metal cog, upon which are laid  wooden sleepers, perhaps a reference to  the steam age.

The ceremony, which is expected to be viewed  by a global TV audience of more than a billion,  will use more than 13,000 props while a million-watt amplifier will provide the  sound.
