Try deleting it via shell. Open Applications » Utilities » Terminal.app. Now you could rm all files from the trash – although that will not securely remove them.
To do that, enter:
rm -rf ~/.Trash/* Make sure type to this exactly as above.
If you want to delete only the file that causes problems: Type rm ~/.Trash/, then enter "The" and press Tab. The file name should be auto-completed. If you have multiple documents starting with "The", press Tab until the right file appears. It should look like this:
rm ~/.Trash/The\ Age\ Article\ -\ World Cup (rest of the filename here)
Press Enter to delete the file.
