'Massive' safe giving nightclub owner a major headache

A Newport, Wales, businessman hoping to open a new city nightspot next month is appealing for help to open and move a "massive" safe which is holding up work at the former tax office. Iftekhar Haris intends to open the Courtyard cafe-bar and nightclub on December 13 - but a large steel unit is currently blocking contractors building a wall necessary to complete the renovation on Cambrian Road.

A number of Newport locksmiths have failed in attempts to open the three-ft-by-three-ft fireproof box, while Mr Haris says the council have also told him they cannot help. Can you?
