Diana wants a ban on the pictures
1993: Diana sues over gym photos

England have

Lawyers acting for the Princess of Wales have started legal action over secretly-taken pictures of her exercising which were published last week by a national newspaper.

Writs have been issued against Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), the gym where Princess Diana was photographed and the gym's owner.

The writs seek a permanent ban on the publication of the pictures which show the princess clad in aleotardand cycling shorts.

They also demand that all copies and negatives should be handed over to the princess' solicitor.

The photos, taken by gym owner Bryce Taylor, were first published in the Sunday Mirror and then again in yesterday's Daily Mirror.

Princess Diana has already won a High Court injunction against Mr Taylor and MGN banning further publication of the pictures.

She also wants to prevent the sale and publication of them outside of the UK, which could potentially earn New Zealand-born Mr Taylor hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The judge ordered him to provide detail of all agreements relating to the photographs and identify everyone to whom they had been passed.

They have already been published in other countries.

Holland's biggest daily, De Telegraaf, ran one of the pictures on its front page.

In the US, a tabloid newspaper group has bought the American rights to the pictures for ?5,000.

After publishing the pictures the Mirror felt the backlash of widespread public outrage and some large companies withdrew their advertising.

But a defiant spokesman for the company claimed sales of yesterday's paper and the Sunday Mirror had both risen by more than 100,000.

Princess Diana's decision marks a new approach by the royal family, which has traditionally resisted using the law to hit back.

She could become the first member of the royal family to testify in a courtroom since 1891 when the then Prince of Wales gave evidence for a friend in a libel action.

The Wall was built in 1961

1989: Berliners celebrate the fall of the Wall

Artificially 1969:
The The Berlin Wall has been dramaticallybreachedafter nearly three decades of keeping East and West Berliners apart.

At midnight on Thursday East Germany's Communist rulers gave permission for gates along the Wall to be opened after hundreds of people converged on crossing points.

They surged through cheering and shouting and were be met by jubilant West Berliners on the other side.

Ecstatic crowds immediately began to clamber on top of the Wall and hack large chunks out of the 28-mile (45-kilometre) barrier.

It was erected on the orders of East Germany's former leader, Erich Honecker, to stop people leaving for West Germany.

Between 1949 and 1961, when it was built, about 2.5 million people fled East Germany.

Since then, the Wall and other fortifications along the 860-mile (1,380-kilometre) border shared by East and West Germany have kept most East Germans in.

Many of those attempting to escape have been shot dead by border guards.

The first indication that change was imminent came earlier on Thursday when East Berlin's Communist party spokesman, Gunther Schabowski, announced East Germans would be allowed to travel directly to West Germany.

The move was intended to stem an exodus into West Germany through the "back door" which began last summer when the new and more liberal regime in Hungary opened its border.

The flow of migrants was intensified last week when Czechoslovakia also granted free access to West Germany through its border.

West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl has hailed the decision to open the Wall as "historic" and called for a meeting with East German leader, Egon Krenz.

Vocabulary:
 

leotard: a tight-fitting garment of stretchy material that covers the body from the shoulders to the thighs(緊身連衣褲)

breach: make an opening or gap in(打破)
