The two areas, which are currently car parks on Lord Street and Parade Street, occupy more than three acres. Subject to planning, it is hoped the development will include leisure facilities, a hotel, shops and offices. Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne said potential designs need to "set the standard for future development". He added: "This is an opportunity to develop a prime area in Douglas fronting the inner harbour and marina and close to the main shopping streets."

Greater Manchester Police Authority (GMPA) said nearly 3,000 posts would have to be cut from its 12,000 staff. A total of 1,387 officers and 1,557 civilian posts could go. A recruitment freeze is also planned for 2011-12. The prime minister's spokesman said the government wanted as many resources as possible "devoted to the front line". The proposals will be presented in a joint report from Chief Constable Peter Fahy and the authority's treasurer at an authority meeting on 22 November. "Protecting frontline policing is at the heart of the plans we have been developing," Mr Fahy said. "As the majority of our money is spent on staff it is inevitable that there will be an impact on our people." Forced retirement The authority plans to cut 2,944 jobs over four years, with staff being offered voluntary redundancy. It also plans to reduce management costs by 43% over the next four years. The force expects to keep its 828 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) for at least another year, but indicated this depended on continuing to receive ring-fenced grants, the report said. By law, police officers cannot be made redundant so GMPA expects the savings in frontline officers to come from natural wastage, a recruitment freeze and forced retirement for officers with more than 30 years' service. Three other police forces - North Wales, Strathclyde and Surrey - are also planning to implement enforced retirement, an option open to them under regulation A19 of the Police Pensions Regulations 1987. The BBC's Political Correspondent Jo Coburn said the prime minister's official spokesman had said "individual police forces must make up their own minds" on where to make cuts. Asked whether David Cameron was concerned about the GMP proposals, he said the government wanted to see as much of police resources as possible "devoted to the front line". Policing minister Nick Herbert said the reduction in Greater Manchester Police's workforce would not affect its service. 'Red tape' "The independent inspector of constabulary has said that on average the proportion of a force that is visible and available to the public at any one time is just 11% of the total workforce and he says that is too low," said Mr Herbert. "So the question is why, when we have had up till now a record number of police officers and staff, have we got such a low availability and visibility? And it's partly because they are tied up in red tape." But Shadow Home Secretary Ed Balls warned that people were concerned the cuts could undermine the fight against crime. "Every police force in the country is now having to work out the implications of the deep and immediate cuts the home secretary has demanded," said Mr Balls. "But by front-loading the cuts in the first two years, the Tory-Lib Dem government is making it even more difficult for forces to protect the front line by finding long-term efficiency savings. "People are rightly concerned that cuts of this scale and speed will undermine the fight against crime and anti-social behaviour and take reckless risks with the safety of our communities." Dave Prentis, General Secretary of the Unison union, called the report "deeply worrying" for the people of Greater Manchester. "Tory claims to protect the frontline are a sham. Losing police officers, staff and PCSOs will see crime rates soar and community safety plummet," he said.

The UK government said it recognised "the immense contribution and shared sacrifice" of thousands of Irish people who served in British forces. The Irish ambassador to the UK, Daniel Mulhall, said he was pleased to accept the invitation. The Queen will lead the Remembrance Sunday commemorations on 9 November. 'Shared sacrifice' Sajid Javid, secretary of state for culture, media and sport, said: "Throughout the First World War, Irish servicemen stood side by side with men and women from across Great Britain and the Commonwealth. "As we commemorate the centenary of the start of the war, it is right we remember our nations' shared sacrifice." Mr Mulhall said: "I am pleased to accept the invitation of the UK Government to lay a wreath in memory of the 50,000 Irish who died in World War One. "The invitation arose following the successful reciprocal state visits of recent years and also in the context of other events which have taken place around the First World War, as part of the government's decade of commemorations programme, marking significant centenaries." Historians have estimated that more than 200,000 Irish-born soldiers served in the British Army and Navy from 1914 to 1918. Thousands of soldiers also left the country and the Irish army to join British forces during World War Two. During her historic visit to the Republic of Ireland in 2011, the Queen laid a wreath at the Republic of Ireland's Garden of Remembrance. In July of this year, the Irish president paid tribute to Irish soldiers who fought in World War One. Michael D Higgins joined the Duke of Kent and Northern Ireland Secretary of State Theresa Villiers at a commemoration in Dublin. They dedicated a cross of sacrifice at Glasnevin Cemetery to mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the war. A military band, made up of musicians from Irish Army and British Army bands, performed at the ceremony.
