Mr Sadat is the first Arab leader to deal publicly with Israel
1977: Egyptian leader's Israel trip makes history

England have

The president of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, has begun his trip to Israel - the first Arab leader ever to visit the Jewish state.

President Sadat's plane landed at Ben Gurion airport at the start of his 36-hour visit.

He was greeted by Israel's Prime Minister Menachim Begin and Israeli President Ephraim Katzir and a 21-gun salute was fired in his honour.

After the ceremony at the airport President Sadat was driven to Jerusalem for an hour-long meeting with Mr Begin.

Tomorrow he will address the Israeli parliament, the Knesset, with his speech broadcast live to hundreds of millions of people all over the world.

The Egyptian president will deliver his speech in Arabic - one of the Knesset's official languages.

Mr Begin will respond in Hebrew with a simultaneous translation provided for President Sadat.

His trip to Israel has stunned the international community.

Israel and Egypt have fought four wars and Israel still occupies the Sinai Peninsula, part of Egypt that it captured in the 1967 war.

The Egyptian leader's offer, in a speech to his parliament on 9 November, to travel to Israel was widely regarded as no more than a literary flourish.

When Prime Minister Begin responded by issuing an official invitation nobody believed Mr Sadat would accept.

His presence in Israel breaks an Arab policy of not dealing publicly with the Jewish state created in 1948.

In the wake of demonstrations around the world against Mr Sadat's visit, Israel is in a state of heightened alert and 10,000 security personnel are on duty.

Noel Edmonds launches the first national lottery draw show

1994: Britain braced for first lottery draw

Artificially 1969:
The An estimatedjackpotof £1m may be won tonight in Britain's first ever lottery draw.

A ticket gives you a one-in-14-million chance of striking lucky and guessing correctly the winning six out of 49 numbers.

The lottery operator Camelot says around 15 million players have already bought some 35 million tickets from licensed retailers.

The money raised from ticket sales will help fund the arts, sports, charities, national heritage and millennium celebrations.

Prime Minister John Major launched the ticket sales just under a week ago.

He said, "The country will be a lot richer because of the lottery. It is in every sense the people's lottery."

The game has certainly gripped the public's imagination. Around seven million tickets were sold within 12 hours of the launch and it is expected that final sales could reach £5m.

Twenty five million people are expected to tune into BBC One's live lottery draw show hosted by Noel Edmonds, Anthea Turner and Gordon Kennedy tonight.

Forty nine contestants - one for each lottery number -have been chosen from thousands to participate in an "It's a Knockout" style competition as part of the show.

The victor gets the chance to press the button on the prize machine, launching Britain's first lottery draw since 1826.

A ?0m computer will randomly select the winning numbers that will roll down one by one into a display rack.

The machine will then check for a winning combination and calculate the size of the jackpot.

The computer will reveal whether there is a top prize winner within half an hour but cross-checking could take as long as four hours.

Telephone staff will be waiting to get a call from the winner as soon as the numbers are picked.

Once officials have established that a claim is genuine, a team will drive the winner to the nearest Camelot office.

Vocabulary:
 

jackpot: the cumulative amount involved in a game (累積獎金)
