London - British officials reacted angrily Thursday to an open attack by Germany's finance minister on the economic rescue policies adopted by Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Government sources in London suggested that it was Germany which was "out of step" with most other nations on how to handle the crisis.

Peer Steinbrueck, Germany's finance minister, said in an outspoken interview with US magazine Newsweek that Britain's conversion from economic and financial prudence to heavy state borrowing was "crass" and "breathtaking."

In particular, Steinbrück criticized the 2.5-per-cent cut in Value Added Tax (VAT), to 15 per cent, introduced by the government from December 1.

London, Dec 11: A tam of researchers and archaeologists from Oxfordshire in England, have discovered three graves, which they believe, could mark the site of a medieval church.

According to a report by BBC News, the remains, which are about 800-years-old, were found in gardens of two cottages in Bix Bottom, near Henley.

The site was identified by Victoria County History Team, who excavated it along with volunteers from the South Oxfordshire Archaeological Group.

The researchers said that they might mark the location of the lost church of Bix Gibwyn, which was abandoned in the late 16th or early 17th Century.

Radiocarbon dating by the Oxford University Research Labs revealed that the remains are about 800-years-old.
