"Listen, there are people that are coming down the pilot ladder of the prow. You go up that pilot ladder, get on that ship and tell me how many people are still on board. And what they need. Is that clear? You need to tell me if there are children, women or people in need of assistance. And tell me the exact number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, that you saved yourself from the sea, but I am going to... I'm going to make sure you get in trouble. ...I am going to make you pay for this. Go on board."
Captain Gregorio De Falco

bullet Pattinson leaves Los Angeles home corner

Actor Robert Pattinson and girlfriend Kristen Stewart have moved out of their Los Angeles house.

The 'Twilight' star couple had been renting a 240-square-metre property in the city's exclusive Bel Air neighbourhood, but had to leave as the owner is putting it on the market at a price of $5.9 million, reports contactmusic.com.

Pattinson, 25, and 21-year-old Stewart were believed to be paying $22,500 per month to stay in the four-bedroom, four-bathroom property.

The home also features a high wood ceiling and hardwood floors, a spa, pool and a gazebo as well as a guest house with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom.

Every minute of every day our news editors canvass the issues, and stories making the news to provide our readers with a broad and in-depth coverage of what's happening in the world.

Our first priority is the state. We specialise in Californian news. From San Diego to San Francisco, we're on the lookout day and night to keep track of issues making the news. We also strive to keep abreast of national news.

Breaking stories out of the continental United States usually break first on the California Telegraph. Neighbouring states and key cities too often feature on our news pages.

We also provide a whole lot of other content you'd expect from any newspaper including international sports coverage and local Californian weather forecasts.

We also provide readers with an opportunity to engage in newsmaking by voting on major stories in the news, and following how other readers are viewing the issues. Our news polls are regularly updated, and attract thousands of voters over each week they're conducted.

Our business writers too work hard to keep you abreast of what's happening in the markets, not only in the U.S. but across the globe. We work around the clock to post stories from major financial centers like Tokyo, Paris, London, and of course New York, where we have extensive coverage of the major indices, particularly the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, S&P and Russell 2000.
