A huge new dinosaur skeleton has been unveiled to the media at the Natural History Museum in London
1983: Flesh-eating dinosaur resurrected

England have

A huge new dinosaur skeleton has been unveiled to the media at the Natural History Museum in London.

Plumber and amateur fossil hunter Bill Walker, 55, found a foot-long claw belonging to the flesh-eating beast at a clay pit in Surrey in January.

When he found the rock containing thetalonhe tapped it and the whole thing cracked.

Palaeontologists reconstructed it and dated the remains at 125 million years old, describing them as the find of the century.

The scientists had to wait for the clay to dry out before they completed a two-week excavation in May when they filled three vans with bones.

Group leader and head of the Dinosaur Department at the Natural History Museum Dr Alan Charig explained: "It is a totally new species of dinosaur. Even more important, this is the first record of any meat-eating dinosaur being found in rock this age anywhere in the world."

He told a press conference at the museum the creature would have been about 15 feet tall - the same as a double-decker bus. It would have weighed half as much as an elephant, at about two tons, and could have run up to 20 miles an hour - faster than Sebastian Coe.

Nicknamed Claws, the dinosaur would have been slightly smaller than the Tyrannosaurus Rex - with teeth like steak knives - and was probably a sub-species of the Megalosaurus.

Mr Charig said the quarry where Mr Walker made the find was a well-known source of fossils and he had excavated an iguanodon skeleton there only last year.

But the experts are keeping the precise location of the site - known to be near Gatwick Airport - secret to keep away souvenir hunters.

The South Kensington museum hopes to have part of the skeleton on display for the public by the end of the year.

Syngman Rhee had US backing for much of his time in power

1965: S Korea's first president dies in exile

Artificially 1969:
The The former leader of the Republic of South Korea, Syngman Rhee, has died in exile in the US state of Hawaii at the age of 90.

In 1948 Mr Rhee became South Korea's first president after elections in which he gained 180 of the 196 votes of National Assembly members.

Mr Rhee spent much of his life in the US after leaving Korea in 1904.

Prior to his departure he had spent seven years in jail for leading demonstrations against the Korean monarchy.

He returned briefly to Korea in 1910 when it was under Japanese control but, after clashing with the new leadership, left again to head a Korean Government in exile.

Autocratic

Syngman Rhee did not return until Japan's defeat in the Second World War and the occupation of Korea by American and Soviet troops.

The country was divided at the 38th parallel and the Soviet Union set up a People's Democratic Republic in the north of Korea while the US helped establish the Republic of South Korea.

Mr Rhee emerged as the main anti-communist politician in South Korea and in 1947 he received the unofficial support of the US Government in his bid to become president.

Although first elected on a popular mandate Mr Rhee's style became increasingly autocratic.

In 1954 he forced through amendments to the South Korean constitution to allow him to extend his term off office indefinitely.

However, in 1960 he was forced into a final exile after public unrest over election fraud which saw him returned to office with a massive majority.

Vocabulary:
 

talon :The similar claw of a predatory animal(爪)
