Answers

1. It's Roger Federer - the inscription on the five buttons of his gold-trimmed cardigan reads RF5, in reference to his five Wimbledon titles. The tournament opened on Monday. Click NEXT for a closer look.
2. He rises at 5.30am, and leaves for the office 30 minutes later, according to a "day in the life" published by the Guardian. He's home again for a family tea at 5pm, then works until 9pm, and retires for the night at 11pm. The PM marked 12 months in the job on Friday.
3. It was Ceausescu in 1989, the day before his execution. On Thursday the Queen approved the rare step of removing Mr Mugabe's award, as a statement of "revulsion" at human rights abuses in Zimbabwe.
4. It's "entire" - Ian Usher, from Darlington, who emigrated to Australia six years ago, is selling his house, friends and job in an internet auction. Bidding ends on Sunday.
5. It's false, and a common misconception... so to speak. Donors at licensed centres are not treated as legal fathers. But many more donations now come from friends and relatives. In 2007, a man who donated sperm to lesbian friends was made to pay maintenance. He said he had no contact with the child; the women said he'd taken an active parenting role.
6. Women's median hourly pay is 12.6% less than men's, according to the Office of National Statistics. Internationally, it is 17.2% less. On Thursday Harriet Harman outlined the new Equality Bill, which will make it easier for women to demand equal pay.
7. It's Ricky Gervais, who turned 47. The same day, funnyman Phill Jupitus blew out 46 candles and the former Wham! singer marked his 45th birthday.
