| The cast for American Hustle also includes Jeremy Renner, Jack Huston, Louis CK and Michael Peña. The film centres on a con-artist couple, played by Bale and Adams, who are forced to work with a wayward federal agent (Cooper) to turn the tables on other shysters, gangsters and (in particular) corrupt politicians. It is loosely based on the FBI's real-life Abscam sting, which led to the conviction of a senator and five members of the US House of Representatives on charges of bribery and conspiracy between 1978 and 1980. | The cast for American Hustle also includes Jeremy Renner, Jack Huston, Louis CK and Michael Peña.

The brothers are suspected of planting pressure-cooker bombs that killed three and injured more than 180 at the Boston marathon a week ago. | Tsarnaev, 19, was arrested on 19 April in the Watertown area of Boston, a day after a violent gun battle with police that left his brother Tamerlan, 26, dead.
