By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Based within Mayfair’s luxurious Berkeley Square, renowned celebrity chef Atul Kochhar’s Benares has been serving incredible Indian inspired dishes since 2003. And cosily nestled alongside a Rolls Royce dealership and Celebrity hotspots such as Robert De Niro’s Nobu just a few doors along, before even entering the restaurant; we could tell that our evening out at the dining institution would be a most classy one. Fusing culinary processes from his native India with his...

By Nathan Lee, TLE correspondent  CMV's Marco Polo cruise ship returned incredible footage of the 2015 eclipse using drone cameras. Cruise & Maritime Voyages had three of their ships in position off the Faroe Islands this morning and an airborne drone camera ready to catch the total solar eclipse.

Sport News 24/7 By Matthew Biggin  @MatthewBiggin  @TLE_Sport There seems to be a storm brewing on Wearside as Sunderland have endured a torrid month.  First star player Adam Johnson was arrested on suspicion of sex with a minor.  This was compounded by further abject results on the pitch.  It all came to a head with the recent 4-0 home defeat to fellow strugglers Aston Villa, a result that would ultimately cost Gus Poyet his job. So what are the issues...

By Emily Wight In his new film Sixteen,  writer and director Rob Brown uses the backdrop of murky grey London estates to draw a comparison between gang violence in the UK and conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), focusing in particular on how violence affects young people. The film tells the story of Congolese teenager, Jumah, who has recently been adopted by a British nurse, Laura. He’s preoccupied and detached, and hates seeing the fighting in video...

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Unlike every other PMQs, this one was a quiet affair. The MPs kept their shrieks and cries for the budget that followed, but there was still plenty of time for kitchen “jokes” aimed at Miliband, which (bacon) rolled - see anyone can do it - into the Chancellor’s statement as well. The one-liners were universally terrible, but at least Cameron carries his off in a smug way, that I can handle. But Gideon’s delivery is...

By Declan Roberts (@declanmr) After five years you'd expect some change of sound in a band, and that's exactly the case with Mini Mansions. Their self-titled debut focused on dream-pop melodies and Kinks inspired lyrics. 'The Great Pretenders' is a darker and fiercer affair that casts a shadow over their previous form. The backing vocals on lead single 'Death Is A Girl' echo with a sinister nature and the aggressive drops on 'Vertigo' make for an exciting listen. 'Freakout!' is...

Reviewed by Miranda Schiller @mirandadadada Andreas seems to have the perfect life: Respected in his job as a police officer, relied on by his friends, he lives in a tastefully decorated house in rural Denmark with his beautiful wife and their new born son. In all areas of life, he is loving, responsible and knows right from wrong. Such heights would not last long for any character in a film, but especially not if the film is made by Susanne...

By Joe Thorpe South Africa is renowned for its high crime rates. Tell a friend you are heading out to the ‘Rainbow Nation’ and they’ll tell you to keep a hand on your bag at all times. Much of the media hype surrounding the violent crimes is inflated and over-stated, however there is at times an air of aggression, thinly veiled, and when media storms like the one surrounding Oscar Pistorius and his murder trial, South Africa seems to live...

By Stephen Mayne  @finalreel In a world awash with adaptations of young adult dystopian fiction, The Hunger Games series still towers above its brethren. The first two outings were fresh and thrilling experiences, full of colour, action and the newly minted star power of Jennifer Lawrence. She remains the chief attraction, just as her character Katniss Everdeen seems to hold the fate of Panem in her palm, but the youthful charm is wearing off. Hampered by the commercially astute and...
