However, things have not gone so well for their waxwork doppelgangers. Intense heat in New Delhi has caused the features of Sir Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr to distort and has turned John Lennons hair orange.

Ady Gil, the worlds fastest eco- boat, will join SSCSs sixth campaign against Japanese whalers, who hunt minke and fin whales. But Greenpeace has criticised its tactics, saying it endangers the lives of fishermen and whalers.
