The Married at First Sight star who once considered leaving her groom at the altar because she was unimpressed with his looks has revealed that she is finally ready to physically consummate their marriage, as her feelings for her new husband continue to grow. All three couples began their real journey towards domestic bliss on last night's episode of the FYI reality show, as the newlyweds searched for new homes to call their own, but, surprisingly, it was Jaclyn Methuen and Ryan Ranellone who were brought closer together by process. And the two even ended the first day in their new home sharing a bedroom together. 'Now I am looking at him in a sexual way instead of just looking at him like he's my bud,' the 30-year-old said of her new husband. Scroll down for video . Look of love: Jaclyn Methuen and Ryan Ranellone enjoyed a bottle of wine during their first night at their new apartment in Astoria, Queens, on last night's episode of Married at First Sight . Next step: The newlyweds later headed to their bedroom leaving viewers to wonder whether they finally 'consummated their marriage' And while viewers have to wait until next week's episode to see if the newlyweds did indeed take their relationship to the next level, Jaclyn hinted that physical intimacy is definitely going to develop - and soon. 'We haven't consummated our marriage yet, but it seems like [in] the imminent future that is going to happen,' she told the cameras coyly. Jaclyn previously noted that she hadn't had sex in two years and she hoped it was like 'riding a bike'. The episode began with Ryan, 29, who lives in Stony Brook, Long Island, with his mother and his teenage niece Kayla, traveling over three hours to spend his first night at Jaclyn's home in Union, New Jersey. And despite Jaclyn’s initial reluctance to show any kind of enthusiasm for the marriage, it was clear that the pair had slowly started working towards a mutual feeling of respect – and romance. Ryan couldn’t have been more thrilled about seeing his wife’s abode, admitting that the closer he got to her home, the more excited he became to see his new wife. Meanwhile, Jaclyn was delighted to show Ryan her home, noting that she sees the potential for their relationship more than ever. Can't do it: Ryan visited Jaclyn's apartment in Union, New Jersey but told her it was too far away from his real estate job in Long Island . Major compromise: During dinner, the couple agreed to move to Astoria because it was the halfway point from their two homes . 'I am actually really excited he is coming over. I miss Ryan when he is gone, and it is surprising that I miss him - surprising for me because I don't really miss anybody,' she admitted. While the couple enjoyed a nice evening together, it quickly became apparent that the commute from the New Jersey location was too far for Ryan, who works as a real estate agent in Long Island. 'I would love to make a life together here, but no way, can't do it,' he told her, as Jaclyn worried that finding a place to live would become a road block in their relationship. Later the two met over dinner and agreed to move to Astoria, Queens, because that is the halfway point between their homes. Jaclyn only requested that she could bring her cat and that there would be parking. 'This is my new life. I am married now,' she said. 'This is the first major compromise that we are making.' Final decision: Ryan and Jaclyn can be seen shaking their realtor's hand after they agree on their first apartment together . Hug it out: The newlyweds, who were excited about taking the next step together, embraced in their new kitchen . And when it came to budgeting their finances, Jaclyn admitted that she has to have money immediately taken out of her check and moved to savings because she is a 'spender' by nature. Ryan, who proclaimed that he was a saver, made it clear that he wanted to make his new wife happy and he didn't want her to give anything up she enjoyed. 'Don't sacrifice what makes you happy for the sake of where we are going to live,' he said of the cost of her dance classes, which she was worried would be too expensive to afford after their move. 'We will make it work.' The two also agreed to split the cost of living in half, so they would both be contributing the same amount. After looking at a few places in Astoria, they agreed on a spacious one bedroom apartment for $2,000 a month. Emotional moment: Ryan was sad to leave his mother and his teenage niece Kayla . New life together: Jaclyn packed up her wardrobe as she prepared to move in with Ryan . 'Jaclyn and I are getting close, and I am starting to feel great about this whole experiment,' Ryan told the cameras, while Jaclyn noted that the pair 'can be really happy' in their new apartment. On moving day, Jaclyn received a visit from her sister and her best friend who offered her moral support. And while she was packing up her belongings, she revealed to her closest confidants that she is seeing her husband in a whole new light. 'Flying home on the plane, I feel like somebody flipped a switch,' she said of her recent trip to spend the holidays with her husband. 'I was looking at him like this is my best friend ever and we're buddies, and now I am looking at him differently.' She went on to tell the cameras that she is now 'looking at him in a sexual way'. Newlyweds: When they arrived at their new place, Ryan carried Jaclyn over the threshold . What to do: The two took a moment to figure out where they should place all of their things . 'I am looking at him like a man,' she added. Meanwhile, Ryan got emotional as he said goodbye to his mother and his niece. Although he maintained that he wanted to be married and move in with Jaclyn, he admitted that it was hard to leave his family. On the first night in their new apartment, the two unpacked a bit before enjoying a bottle of wine and some pizza. 'I want to be more touchy and feely with you,' Jaclyn told Ryan as they cuddled on the couch. Huge adjustment: Davina Kullar, 34, and Sean Varricchio, 35, can be seen speaking with real estate agent in Manhattan as they searched for a place on the Upper East Side . Not happy: Sean, who is from New Jersey, was overwhelmed by how small the apartments in Manhattan were . 'What should we do to christen the apartment?' Ryan teased. And when Jaclyn asked if he meant consummate the marriage, he joked: 'I am a nice Catholic boy.' But the two eventually made their way to bedroom, leaving viewers wondering if they were finally going to become intimate weeks after their wedding day. As for Davina Kullar, 34, and Sean Varricchio, 35, the move seemed to be tearing them apart. Davina refused to move out of Manhattan, and as she waited for her apartment to be renovated, she and Sean looked for a new place that they could stay temporarily. But it quickly became apparent that Sean, who is an ER/trauma nurse from Jackson, New Jersey, was uncomfortable with city life as he started to pull away from his new wife. Life decision: The couple finally agreed on a place to stay while Davina's apartment gets renovated . Hear-to-heart: Davina told Sean that he needs to show her more affection after he started pulling away from her . After the two finally agree on a place to stay on the Upper East Side, Sean continued to be overwhelmed. 'I can feel myself pulling back. We're not affectionate. We're not intimate,' he admitted. Davina confessed to the cameras that Sean's actions made her worry that his distance was about more than just geographical location and adjusting to living in New York City. She finally told him that she needs him to be more affectionate. 'Why am I helping you adapt to Manhattan, if you don't really want to be here,' she asked during their heart-to-heart. Stressed out: Jessica Castro, 30, and Ryan DeNiro, 29, learned the bedroom in this apartment is in a completely different unit than the living room and bathroom . Not our home: Jessica and Ryan can be seen having a heated discussion about an apartment they both liked. While she thought it was too expensive, Ryan said that he just wanted to take care of her and make her happy . Although Sean agreed to make more of an effort, he later told her that he had to return to New Jersey for work, leaving her alone in their apartment on what was supposed to be their first night together. Meanwhile, Jessica Castro, 30, and Ryan DeNiro, 29, struggled to figure out where they both should live – and how they should budget for it. While Ryan owns a consulting business in Staten Island, Jessica, who works as a receptionist in Manhattan, doesn't know how to drive, so the two compromised by agreeing to move to Brooklyn . After visiting numerous apartments, Ryan believed he found the one, but Jessica wasn't thrilled with the $4,000 per month price tag. Jessica could only afford to contribute $1,000 towards their rent, and she didn't like the idea of Ryan covering so much more of the bill. Team work: After agreeing on a place in Brooklyn, Ryan helped Jessica pack on their moving day . All better: The two kissed in the bedroom of their new apartment in Brooklyn . 'We need to be able to discuss what we are spending our money on as a married couple,' she explained. 'I would rather invest for down the line, if we stay together, to buy something.' But Ryan said that he just wants to see 'Jess happy,' explaining: 'As a man I want to take care of her'. The newlyweds let the apartment go, and they eventually find one that is not only perfect, but it's in their price range. 'This is our first big decision together,' Jessica said of their new place. 'I hope we are on the right page.' | Jaclyn Methuen and Ryan Ranellone moved into their marital home together on last night's episode of the FYI reality show .

It may look like CGI in the trailer, but the droid that will join R2-D2 in the forthcoming Star Wars film - The Force Awakens - is very much real. The robot, named BB-8, took to the stage at Star Wars Celebration convention in Anaheim, California, where it literally ran rings around the retro droid on its spherical body. JJ Abrams, the film’s director, confirmed that a real robot was used during filming, but did not reveal how it works. Scroll down for video . The robot, called BB-8 (left) stars in the eagerly anticipated film Star Wars: The Force Awakens and took to the stage at Star Wars Celebration convention in Anaheim, California, where it literally ran rings around retro droid R2-D2 (pictured right) It’s a question that’s got Twitter talking, with a user named Jock tweeting: BB8? BBGREAT more like and Jimmy Wong in LA saying: ‘HOW DOES BB-8 WORK. It's so coooool.’ Joshua Harris, a teenager from Oxford said: ‘#BB8 is one of the few things in life that makes me want to understand engineering, while Video editor Ron Dot Org tweeted: ‘This is the part of the #StarWars event today that really blew my mind. #BB8 is not cgi. AT ALL’. BB-8’s body is a spherical ball that allows it to move in any direction, but it also has a completely free-moving head that doesn’t fall off, leaving applauding spectators wondering how it works. Speaking about filming the movie, JJ Abrams said: 'There were a lot of discussions about how having a CGI BB-8 could be so much easier for shooting. JJ Abrams, the film’s director, confirmed that a real robot was used during filming, instead of CGI, but did not reveal how the robot worked. Here, BB-8 the rolling droid BB-8 is spotted inside the Millennium Falcon, peeking around a corner . From today, Star Wars fans will be able to tweet using new emojis exclusive to the social network. Three emojiis have been introduced showing C3PO, a Storm trooper and a new droid. They have been rolled out in anticipation of the release of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens. To tweet a Star Wars emoji, users must include hastags: #C3PO, #STORMTROOPER or #BB8 which will be transformed into little cartoons. ‘But we talked originally about it would be better for the film, for the actors, for the sets and the look of it if it were performed.’ He confirmed that BB-8 was ‘built and puppeteered’ in the film, but no strings were visible when the beeping, chirping droid rolled on stage, leading experts to speculate that it must be controlled by at least one remote control. The robot’s body is likely to be a large robotic ball, like a big version of the Sphero, Mashable’s Andrew Tarantola speculated. The toy by Orbotix is controlled by a smartphone app using a Bluetooth connection and allows users to make it go in any direction – much like the new droid. BB-8’s body is a spherical ball that allows it to move in any direction (pictured) but it also has a completely free-moving head that doesn’t fall off, leaving applauding spectators wondering how it works . The robot’s body is likely to be a large remote-controlled robotic ball, like a big version of the Sphero (pictured). The toy by Orbotix is controlled by a smartphone app using a Bluetooth connection and allows users to make it go in any direction – much like the new droid . Professor Will Stewart, a Fellow of The Institution of Engineering and Technology in London, told MailOnline that the walking globe is easy to achieve – ‘we could build one if we had the budget’. ‘It’s related to the default egg-race-style self-propelled double wheel device or the walk-in-balloon which anyone can try,’ he said, referring to a zorb, which humans walk inside and push against the side to move along. But the real mystery is how the robot’s head can move independently but stay on top of the free-rolling ball. It’s possible that magnets are involved to ‘stick’ the droid’s head to its body, but it would require remarkable control by a human operator to make sure it’s head stayed on top of the body – and the stage performance seemed effortlessness. It could be that the droid’s head is a separate robot with its own set of remote controls, enabling it to ‘look’ around. It's currently a mystery as to how BB-8 moves, but its white and orange case may hide a larger mechanism like that found in Sphero, which allows it to move quickly in any direction. The real question is how its head stays on . BB-8’s body is a spherical ball that allows it to move in any direction, but it also has a completely free-moving head that doesn’t fall off, leaving applauding spectators wondering how it works. This image shows the robot on the set of the film, which will be released in the UK in December . It may be able to stay upright easily by depending on a gyroscope that tells it which way is up and use an accelerometer to monitor motion, much like many smartphone games. Magnets may still be used to keep the head in contact with the body. Professor Stewart said: ‘The floating ‘head’ is probably on rollers magnetically bound through the plastic ball to the "driving" robot inside.’ He explained that rare earth magnets are very strong and light and the robot’s ‘movements are consistent with this, such as a tendency to move in the direction of travel.’ ‘The inside and head could be wirelessly linked but given that this robot is radio controlled rather than autonomous…I suspect that head and body are just independently radio controlled.’ It’s possible that magnets are involved to ‘stick’ the droid’s head to its body (pictured), but it would require remarkable control by a human operator to make sure it’s head stayed on top of the body – and the stage performance seemed effortlessness . From today, Star Wars fans will be able to tweet using new emojis (pictured) exclusive to the social network . Sphero is the world's first robotic toy ball that's controlled by a smartphone app. It's been suggested that BB-8 may use similar technology in its body. The Sphero toy can be programmed to weave in between objects, follow augmented reality race tracks and even keep a pet entertained. The 2.8-inch (73mm) ball travels up to 5mph (0.6 km/h), is fully waterproof and costs $99.99 in the U.S, and £99.99 in the UK. Sphero (pictured) is the world's first robotic toy ball that's controlled by a smartphone app . The gadget weighs 178g (0.4lbs) and has a gyroscope and accelerometer inside that connect to a tablet or smartphone via Bluetooth, as well as two rubber wheels. A counterweight gets the ball rolling on demand and sensors allow users to control the direction and speed of the ball. The wheels inside work like a hamster running inside a ball and never leave Sphero's surface, so it can turn corners at high speed. There are up to 30 games available via apps including driving, sports and arcade games, and the polycarbonate ball could soon be on its way to school classrooms to give children an insight into robotics. It is hoped the waterproof ball will inspire a future generation to get involved in computer science and design and technology. | BB-8 moved in all directions on stage at Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim .

Vince Cable prides himself on being the Tories' bogeyman in the Coalition Cabinet. 'I'm regularly voted their least popular Cabinet member,' he says with his familiar hangdog smile. Just as David Cameron and George Osborne privately describe Nick Clegg as a 'closet Conservative', they regard Cable a closet Labour politician. Not surprising, since he once was a Labour politician, albeit a councillor, in the 1970s. Scroll down for video . Vince Cable wants a substantial role in government and envisages working with the Conservatives again . Similarly, some Labour MPs fantasise that if only boyish Ed Miliband could have persuaded Uncle Vince, with his provincial bank manager's air and twinkly peacock blue eyes, to defect, Labour would walk the General Election. With Cable in charge of Labour's spending plans, voters would stop worrying that would-be PM Red Ed might do something barmy. But as we sit on the terrace of the quirkily named Barmy Arms pub by the Thames in his Twickenham constituency, Business Secretary Cable says something, which on first hearing, sounds even more barmy. Not only is he ready to spend another five years helping the Tories run Britain, he wants to replace George Osborne as Chancellor. 'Yes, I know,' he shrugs, acknowledging the apparent contradiction, 'I've spent my whole political life fighting the Conservatives.' How does he sit down with Tories he privately despises? 'When we have a business meeting we put the guns at the door and sit down and talk,' he smiles. He complains of 'nasty and vicious stuff' from the Tories. And after one heated Cabinet verbal exchange with Defence Secretary Liam Fox, Cameron rushed up to Cable on his way out and begged him to keep it secret to stop the Coalition collapsing. He describes another confrontation with junior Tory Business Minister Matt Hancock, an ally of Osborne sent to 'spy' on Cable. 'He came to my office with a list of plum jobs he wanted. I said, 'No, I'm the boss.' He was very cross, stamped his feet, got up and slammed the door.' So how, and more to the point, why, does Cable want another five years of more of the same? 'Because I've realised it is possible to be business-like with them. I can envisage a scenario in which I would stomach working with the Tories if the situation required. You have to let your head rule your heart.' In the interview, Mr Cable said the Prime Minister and the Chancellor were 'highly intelligent guys' and added that they 'don't snarl at each other' He knows full well the significance of what he is saying. 'It's important coming from me because I'm the one seen as having the least affinity with the Tories.' Cable is also quick to make clear he does not rule out working with Labour. But he 'envisages' remaining in a government led by Cameron, not Miliband. Cable says he would stop 'the nasty tail of Right-wing MPs wagging the Tory dog' if Cameron scrapes home. He denounces 'horrendous' public spending cuts proposed by Cameron and Osborne – 'almost all affecting the disabled and working poor'. But with Cable, the difference is strictly political, not personal. In the next breath he says: 'Cameron and Osborne are highly intelligent guys and I respect their abilities. I have perfectly affable discussions with them. We don't snarl at each other.' His warm words for the Tories are all the more remarkable, bearing in mind that, around the corner, Conservative chiefs have sent extra teams of canvassers to Twickenham to try to 'decapitate' Cable. No one seriously thinks they can overturn his 12,000 majority. Giving a timely reminder to local Tories in his middle-class constituency, home of the chaps of the English Rugby Football Union and Hampton Court, of his fondness for Dave and George will do him no harm. They don't call him a wily old fox for nothing. His criticism of Miliband is all the more wounding, sounding like a disappointed father or headmaster. His warm words for the Tories are all the more remarkable, bearing in mind that, around the corner, Conservative chiefs have sent extra teams of canvassers to Twickenham to try to 'decapitate' Mr Cable . 'He could have done so much better and has made two really big mistakes. He should have said up-front on the financial crisis that we [the last Labour Government] screwed up seriously and done a mea culpa. 'And I feel let down by his foolish plan to cut university tuition fees to £6,000. It is a low-grade response. He couldn't resist a cheap soundbite at our expense. Very poor judgment. And his fiscal policy is so vague.' Two days after the Election, Cable celebrates his 72nd birthday. Tall, tanned and languid, he looks lithe enough to reprise his dainty-toed appearance in Strictly Come Dancing in 2010. Yet, audaciously, the evergreen septuagenarian has set his sights on a new star turn – Chancellor in a Tory-led Government. 'I'm up for having a substantial role. My prime interest is the economy. There are two economic departments in Whitehall and I've done one of them for five years. I'll leave you to do the maths!' It sounds highly unlikely. Certainly less likely than a Lib Dem leadership contest if, as some predict, Clegg loses his seat. Cable loyally insists his party boss will survive and vehemently denies he wants his job. But canny Cable can't resist pointing out: 'I'm quite a bit younger than Gladstone, Churchill and Ronald Reagan.' All three led governments in their eighth decade. We can do the maths, Vince. | Lib Dem MP said he's realised it's 'possible to be business-like' with Tories .
Envisaged scenario where he could 'stomach' working with Conservatives .
But also quick to make clear he does not rule out working with Labour .
Thought he was most likely to remain in a government led by Mr Cameron . | 2c449c9b2e6cb1b710646b371bd4dfee263845de | [

TV celebrity Dr Mehmet Oz will take on his detractors in the medical community head-on during a special episode of his daytime talk show Thursday, sending a strong message that he will not be silenced. Oz, 54, found himself at the center of a firestorm last week when 10 prominent doctors sent a letter to Columbia University, where he serves as vice chairman and professor of surgery at College of Physicians, calling for his resignation because he is a 'charlatan who promotes ‘quack treatments.' In a special episode of The Dr Oz Show, which was pre-taped Tuesday and will air Thursday, the beleaguered physician directly addressed his attackers and accused them of trying to bully him into silence. Scroll down for video . Teaser: TV celebrity Dr Mehmet Oz released a videotaped message previewing a special episode of his show Thursday, which will be dedicated to the controversial swirling around him . Bold statement: Oz, 54, says in the video that he will not let the 10 doctors who launched a campaign last week to try and get him fired from Columbia University silence him . The show released a 25-second teaser clip to CNN Money featuring a part of Oz's rebuttal to promote the upcoming episode. ‘This month, we celebrate my 1000th show,’ Oz says in the preview. ‘I know I've irritated some potential allies in our quest to make America healthy. ‘No matter our disagreements, freedom of speech is the most fundamental right we have as Americans. And these 10 doctors are trying to silence that right. Looking directly into the camera, Oz concluded: ‘So I vow to you right here and right now: we will not be silenced, we will not give in.’ According to a spokesperson for The Dr Oz Show, about two-thirds of this week’s episode will be devoted to the controversy. On Friday, Dr Oz will sit down for an interview on NBC's Today show. The Harvard-educated doctor joined the faculty at Columbia in 1993. He has been hosting his health and wellness talk show since 2009. Ten top doctors sent a letter to Columbia University urging the school to remove TV celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz from his faculty position because he is a 'charlatan' who promotes 'quack treatments' ‘I bring the public information that will help them on their path to be their best selves,’ Oz said in a statement released through a representative of The Dr. Oz Show, according to USA Today. Columbia's Medical and Health Sciences Center . He continued: ‘We provide multiple points of view, including mine, which is offered without conflict of interest. That doesn't sit well with certain agendas which distort the facts.’ Dr Henry Miller, of California's Stanford University led the campaign against Dr Oz and was the first person to sign the letter, the New York Daily News reported. Miller said: 'He's a quack and a fake and a charlatan. 'I think I know the motivation at Columbia. 'They're star-struck, and like having on their faculty the best-known doctor in the country. 'But the fact is that his advice endangers patients, and this doesn't seem to faze them.' He told CBS News that ‘a person who endangers patients and is a menace to public health should not be on the faculty of a prestigious medical institution’. The nine other doctors from across the country included Dr Joel Tepper, a cancer researcher from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, and Dr Gilbert Ross of the American Council on Science and Health in New York City. The doctors sent the letter to Lee Goldman, the dean of Columbia's Faculties of Health Sciences and Medicine. The physicians accused Dr Oz of pushing 'miracle' weight-loss supplements with no scientific proof that they work. The doctors wrote that Oz, for years a world-class Columbia cardiothoracic surgeon, has 'misled and endangered' the public. From left to right, Dr Phil McGraw, financial advisor Suze Orman, host Oprah Winfrey, Dr Mehmet Oz and interior designer Nate Berkus participate in The Oprah Winfrey Show live from Radio City Music Hall in 2010 . For more, visit Extra online. The letter read: 'He has manifested an egregious lack of integrity by promoting quack treatments and cures in the interest of personal financial gain. 'Thus, Dr Oz is guilty of either outrageous conflicts of interest or flawed judgments about what constitutes appropriate medical treatments, or both. The authors of the scathing communique took a particular issue with what they described as Oz's ‘baseless and relentless opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops.’ CNN Money and the New York Times reported that some of the doctors opposing Oz have strong ties to the GMO food industry, namely the advocacy group American Council on Science and Health. Dr Miller, a researcher with a conservative think tank, has been a vocal proponent of genetically modified foods and has spoken out against mandatory labeling. Dr Oz insists that he is not opposed to GMOs on principle but wants them to be properly labelled so that educated consumers would know exactly what is in their food. 'I do not claim that GMO foods are dangerous, but believe that they should be labeled like they are in most countries around the world,' he said in his statement Friday. The New York Ivy League school responded Thursday, issuing a statement to The Associated Press saying only that the school 'is committed to the principle of academic freedom and to upholding faculty members' freedom of expression for statements they make in public discussion.' Special interests: The authors of the letter took an issue with what they described as Oz's 'baseless and relentless opposition to the genetic engineering of food crops.' The surgeon has been a vocal proponent of mandatory labeling of GMOs, while some of his critics have been advocating for the GMO industry . Dr Oz first came to public attention as a frequent television guest of Oprah Winfrey. For the past five years, he's been the host of The Dr Oz Show. Last year, he appeared before a US Senate panel that accused him of endorsing products that were medically unsound. At the time, the doctor acknowledged some of the products he advised his viewers to use 'don't have the scientific muster to present as fact.' A show representative did not immediately return a call Thursday from the AP seeking comment. As vice chairman of Columbia's surgery department, Dr Oz still occasionally teaches, said Douglas Levy, spokesman for the Columbia University Medical Center. The controversy did not die down after his testimony. The company behind the"miracle" diet supplement in question later agreed to pay a $3.5 million settlement over false advertising. A study that purported to prove the product's weight-loss benefits turned out to be based on fraudulent data and was retracted. | Dr Mehmet Oz is vice chairman at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons and is a professor of surgery .

The records just keep tumbling for Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid. After his strike against Rayo Vallecano, the Portuguese forward now has 300 goals for Los Blancos, despite having played in Madrid for only six seasons, amassing 288 appearances. He has well and truly made his name as a legend at the Santiago Bernabeu, only trailing Raul and Alfredo di Stefano in the club standings. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 300 goals for Real Madrid in just six years with the La Liga giants . The Portuguese forward is catching Raul's (l) club record and is just seven goals shy of Alfredo di Stefano (r) Ronaldo heads home his 300th goal for the club - against Rayo Vallecano at the Vallecas Stadium in Madrid . 323 - Raul . 308 - Alfredo di Stefano . 300 - Cristiano Ronaldo . 289 - Carlos Santillana . 242 - Ferenc Puskas . Ronaldo has scored 206 with his right foot, 52 with his left, even managing 41 with his head. 46 of his goals at Real have been outside the box, many of them screamers. After claiming two FIFA Ballon d'Or awards during his time in Spain, as well as glory in La Liga and the Champions League, many would be running out of motivation, scratching around for more records to break. But Ronaldo, 30, doesn't only have the status of Raul or Di Stefano to look up to, but also Barcelona rival Lionel Messi, who is younger, and seemingly still improving. But there are other poachers that have formed their goalscoring reputation at one club, including a Portugal legend and an Everton hero who the former Manchester United man could draw inspiration from. Ronaldo celebrates after scoring his first goal (vs Deportivo in 2009, above), and his most recent (below) THE TOP 10 ONE-CLUB SCORERS OF ALL TIME . 10) Dixie Dean, Everton (1925-37) 383 . Dean is the widely regarded as greatest player to have been born on Merseyside, and scored 60 goals in one league season in 1927/28. Impressed? He achieved that record after fracturing his skull and jaw in a motorcycling accident. Former Everton striker Dixie Dean is widely regarded as the greatest striker ever born on Merseyside . 9) Willy van der Kuijlen, PSV (1964-81) 394 . When his career started in Eindhoven, part of Der Kuijlen's motivation was to work at Phillips. He ended up with almost 400 goals, and was still only capped 22 times by the Dutch national side. Willy van der Kuijlen of PSV runs with the ball in the UEFA Cup match against Bastia in 1978 . 8) Lionel Messi, Barcelona (2004-present) 398* . Staggeringly, this Argentine forward is only 27. As the star of a mightily impressive Barelona team, expect Messi to climb up this list considerably over the next 10 years. Lionel Messi is closing in on the 400 mark with Barcelona and should rapidly rise up the scoring charts . 7) Zico, Flamengo (1971-83 and 1985-89) 401 . An attacking midfielder in the top 10? Often called the 'White Pele', Zico encapsulated a fine generation of Brazilian football, and impressed with his club side in his homeland. Over two spells with Flamengo, it's no wonder he was given a prestigious nickname. Zico of Flamengo takes on Liverpool's (l-r) Ray Kennedy, Graeme Souness and Alan Hansen in a friendly . 6) Eusebio, Benfica (1960-75) 474 . Eusebio helped Benfica to 11 league titles and seven more domestic trophies, as well as four European Cup finals. Not just a poacher, Eusebio had it all and the Mozambique-born player was a Portuguese football legend. Eusebio lead Benfica to 11 league titles and seven more domestic trophies with a staggering amount of goals . 5) Uwe Seeler, Hamburg (1953-72) 507 . Up there with Gerd Muller and Franz Beckenbauer as a German great, Seeker was not a giant but a very strong player with fantastic shooting and heading abilities. His tally probably proves that. Uwe Seeler scored over 500 goals for Hamburg and is up there with Franz Beckenbauer as a German great . 4) Jimmy McGrory, Celtic (1922-37) 522 . Regarded as the Hoops' finest ever player, McGrory netted 55 hat-tricks for the club and went on to rewrite the football record books with his unbelievable scoring feats. 3) Josef Bican, Slavia Prague (1937-48) 534 . Slavia were one of the biggest clubs in the pre-war era, led by a striker from a poor family, brought up in Austria. He fled to Czechoslovakia during the second world war, and certainly made his mark. 2) Gerd Muller, Bayern Munich (1964-79) 573 . Muller scored an incredible 85 goals in a single season as Bayern Munich claimed the Bundesliga title in 1972, and was the league's top scorer on seven occasions. Muller spent 13 campaigns with the Bavarian giants and with his goalscoring record, it's no wonder to see him near the top of the charts. Gerd Muller (centre) scored 85 goals in one league season with Bayern Munich and netted 573 in total . 1) Pele, Santos (1956-74) 1088 . Though his official record stands at 643 goals for Brazilian side Santos, and the 1088 includes strikes against a military XI, Pele tops the charts. Is he the best player of all-time, too? Pele unofficially scored 1088 goals for Santos and is widely regarded as the best player of all-time . PS... who are these Premier League sides' all-time top scorers? ARSENAL . 228 - Thierry Henry (1999-2007 and 2012) 185 - Ian Wright (1991-98) 178 - Cliff Bastin (1929-47) Thierry Henry enjoyed a prolific eight-year spell with Arsenal and is the club's all-time top goalscorer . CHELSEA . 211 - Frank Lampard (2001-14) 202 - Bobby Tambling (1959-70) 193 - Kerry Dixon (1983-92) EVERTON . 383 - Dixie Dean (1925-37) 159 - Graeme Sharp (1980-91) 138 - Bob Latchford (1974-81) LIVERPOOL . 346 - Ian Rush (1980-87 and 1988-96) 286 - Roger Hunt (1958-69) 241 - Gordon Hodgson (1925-36) Ian Rush netted 346 times over two spells with Liverpool and is streaks ahead of anyone else in the charts . MANCHESTER CITY . 178 - Eric Brook (1928-39) 166 - Tommy Johnson (1920-30) 153 - Colin Bell (1966-1979) MANCHESTER UNITED . 249 - Sir Bobby Charlton (1956-73) 237 - Denis Law (1962-73) 230* Wayne Rooney (2004-present) Wayne Rooney is just 19 goals behind Sir Bobby Charlton at Manchester United after his recent strike . NEWCASTLE . 206 - Alan Shearer (1996-2006) 200 - Jackie Milburn (1946-57) 153 - Len White (1953-62) Alan Shearer scored 206 goals for Newcastle, while Vic Watson managed 326 for West Ham United . TOTTENHAM . 266 - Jimmy Greaves (1961-70) 208 - Bobby Smith (1955-64) 174 - Martin Chivers (1968-76) WEST HAM . 326 - Vic Watson (1920-35) 252 - Geoff Hurst (1959-72) 166 - John Dick (1953–63) 166 - Jimmy Ruffell (1921-37) | Cristiano Ronaldo scored 300th goal for Real Madrid on Wednesday night .
Portuguese star headed home against Rayo Vallecano in 2-0 victory .
Who else have made their mark with goals at one particular club?
Pele and Gerd Muller lead the way, while Lionel Messi makes the top 10 .

Andre Schurrle admits he was relieved to end his goal drought by scoring his first goal for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The former Chelsea forward thanked Wolfsburg supporters for their patience and admitted not scoring for the German side was 'eating away' at him. The 24-year-old scored his first since joining from Chelsea in February as they beat Stuttgart 3-1. Andre Schurrle admits he was relieved to end his goal drought by scoring his first goal for Wolfsburg . The former Chelsea forward thanked Wolfsburg supporters for their patience as he netted on Saturday . 'It was about time I scored. I've missed a lot of chances here and I'm just happy to have hit the target now,' Schurrle said. 'I have to admit that the fact I hadn't scored for such a long time had been eating away at me a bit, so I'm very happy but the most important thing is that we won three points. 'I'd like to say a big thank you to all the fans here to receiving me so well and supporting me. I'm happy to be here and I'm sure we'll have a lot more to celebrate in the future.' Wolfsburg are seven points clear of Borussia Monchengladbach after Saturday's win, and Schurrle admits it was a difficult game to overcome. The 24-year-old scored his first since joining from Chelsea in February as they beat Stuttgart 3-1 . Former Chelsea forward Schurrle admitted not scoring for the German side was 'eating away' at him . 'We were expecting a difficult game because Stuttgart have good individual players and they're a good team,' he added. 'It's tough against them because they throw everything at you and they really need the points. We were a bit shaky at the back, especially defending crosses - that's how we conceded - but then I think our quality shone through in the second half. 'We put them under pressure and created chances, so I think we deserved to win.' | Andre Schurrle scored his first goal for Wolfsburg on Saturday .

Four genuine European heavyweights remain in the Champions League, a quartet steeped in history and silverware. Between Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Juventus, the big-eared trophy has been lifted 21 times. Any of those clubs would be deserving finalists in the Olympiastadion in Berlin on June 6. But for tension, intrigue, and the potential for high drama, the match-up that most appeals has to be Real Madrid versus Barcelona. Javier Hernandez's late winner against Atletico Madrid sent Real Madrid into the Champions League semis . Neymar scored both goals in the second leg as Barcelona beat Paris Saint-Germain 5-1 on aggregate . Transporting El Clasico to east Germany would bring a defining chapter to a myriad narratives, raising Europe’s grandest derby to a level not seen amid years of ebb and flow between the two Spanish behemoths. We have seen plenty of tangles in recent years, notably the Champions League semi-final of 2011, and some may insist the unseemly battles when the pair faced off 12 times in 19 months a couple of years ago became too much. But never have they duelled in the continent's largest match. That would crystalise their competition. It would be a fascinating game. Cristiano Ronaldo is looking for his third Champions League trophy and second in a row with Real . Barcelona's formidable front three of Luis Suarez (left), Neymar (centre) and Lionel Messi (right) They have only met twice this season, both times in La Liga. Real Madrid won 3-1 at the Bernabeu before Christmas before Barcelona's 2-1 win at the Nou Camp last month, so the appetite is not sated this campaign. A deciding third bout at Europe’s main event would draw global crowds not witnessed before. Just think: Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, the pre-eminent practitioners of this era, head-to-head for the biggest club prize of all. The Preener v the Peruser, Portugal’s athletic might against Argentina’s diminutive delight, the current Ballon d’Or holder against the man who won four consecutively. Barcelona won 3-1 on aggregate when the sides met in the semi-finals of the 2011 Champions League . Gareth Bale scored the winner when Real Madrid beat Barcelona in the 2014 Spanish Cup final . Bale celebrates at the Mestalla after scoring a wonder goal that won the Spanish Cup for Barcelona . Pep Guardiola could come up against his former team Barcelona after guiding Bayern into the last four . Then there's the undercard fights for supremacy: Gareth Bale, the world’s most expensive signing on paper, vying with Neymar, the game’s costliest player when all told; Karim Benzema, that deadly Frenchman, versus Luis Suarez, the indefatigable Uruguayan (both tied on six Champions League goals this season, by the way). Both teams have a trident attack to strike fear into their opponents. Whose will triumph on the biggest stage? It is an intriguing question to pose. Then we have Carlo Ancelotti trying to save his job by going for his fourth European Cup as a manager, against Luis Enrique, who has weathered a storm in his debut season to break the record for number of club wins (42) in a head coach's first 50 games. As a player he won La Liga with both Real and Barca but never the Champions League. Messi and Ronaldo have had many duels, and could have another one this season in the Champions League . Pepe heads home during Real Madrid's 3-1 win over Barcelona in the Clasico at the Bernabeu in October . Suarez scored what proved to be the winner when Barcelona won the La Liga meeting in March . Pep Guardiola facing his old club, the place he delivered dream football and two European Cups, would be tantalising – be we can have that in the semi-final. He needs to visit the Nou Camp as an opposition manager. That would leave Real vs Juventus in the other last-four match. Two teams with plenty of shared history, not least the 1998 Champions League final when the Italian side’s Zinedine Zidane, now a Real coach, was denied by Predrag Mijatovic’s goal. Yes, Real vs Barca on a June evening in Berlin would capture imaginations and invite the world to watch. Mar 22, 2015 - La Liga, Barcelona 2-1 Real Madrid .

Nigel Farage's campaigning got off to a faltering start today as he missed a Ukip event after getting stuck in traffic. The Ukip leader was expected at a farm in Staffordshire, as he prepared to attack the government over defence spending, but organisers pulled the plug while he was trapped in his chauffeur-driven car. Mr Farage faced ridicule last year when he blamed immigrants clogging up the M4 after he missed an event charging supporters £25-a-head to meet him. Nigel Farage's campaigning got off to a faltering start today as he missed a Ukip event after getting stuck in traffic. He did manage to make an appearance at an event in Carrick (pictured) Mr Farage is under pressure to show his election campaign is on track after polls showed a slump in support in Ukip and suggested he might struggle to win his own seat in South Thanet. He had hoped to use a return to the campaign trail after the bank holiday weekend to highlight Ukip's call to spend 2 per cent of gross domestic product on defence. But he missed the farm visit in Staffordshire after suffering travel delays, according to a party spokesman. In December the Ukip leader was branded 'silly and dangerous' after claiming high levels of immigration caused problems on the roads. He claimed he arrived too late for a £25-a-head drinks reception in Port Talbot because the UK's 'open door immigration' policy meant that the M4 'is not as navigable as it used to be'. He insisted the no-show was 'nothing to do with professionalism' amid claims Ukip was struggling to cope with increased scrutiny and demands on his time. 'In all these years in Ukip that's probably about the third event out of a thousand that I haven't made in time,' he said in December. Mr Farage had hoped to use a return to the campaign trail after the bank holiday weekend to highlight Ukip's call to spend 2 per cent of gross domestic product on defence . Meanwhile Mr Farage now is battling to fend off an alarming slump in the polls for Ukip - with support falling by a quarter in less than six months. The Ukip leader has seen support for his party drop from 16.75 per cent in November to just 12.25 per cent today, with voters appearing to switch to the Tories in the run up to the election. Mr Farage is also facing a fight to win his own election battle after falling behind the Tories in Thanet South, Kent - despite enjoying a 12 point lead over his Conservative rival just two months ago. He will visit the West Midlands later where he is expected to condemn rising aid budgets under David Cameron and will accuse both Labour and the Conservatives of abandoning the military covenant. Speaking ahead of a visit to the West Midlands, Mr Farage had said: 'I am really looking forward to coming again to the West Midlands. It is the heartland of England.' He is due to give a speech at the Copthorne Hotel in Brierley Hill in the Black Country this evening. Ukip has seen its support slump from 16.75 per cent in November to just 12.25 per cent today with voters appearing to switch to the Tories in the run up to the election . Mr Farage is facing a fight to win his own election battle after falling behind the Tories in South Thanet, Kent - despite enjoying a 12 point lead of his Conservative rival just two months ago . In a direct attack on the Prime Minister, the Ukip leader will add: 'No previous Conservative prime minister in history would have countenanced sanctioning continual rises in foreign aid giveaways while at the same time pursuing a programme of continual cuts in defence.' A Conservative Party spokesman said Mr Farage was 'playing politics with the military in a calculated and completely irresponsible way'. He added: 'We've balanced the defence budget after inheriting a truly enormous black hole from Labour. We have the second largest defence budget in Nato after the United States and will spend over £160 billion in the next decade on new military equipment. 'It comes down to this: you can only have strong armed forces if you have a strong economy first. That's exactly what this Government is delivering. Ukip would put that at risk - making it up as they go along and letting Ed Miliband into Downing Street by the back door.' | Jams mean Ukip leader forced to pull the plug on farm visit in Staffordshire .

Jailed: Riki Hughes stole £17,000 from the football club where he volunteered as club secretary . A veteran of the Iraq war stole thousands of pounds from a children's football club and spent the money on a stag trip to Las Vegas. Lance Corporal Riki Hughes has been jailed for 16 months after he plundered the accounts of Tidworth Town Football Club, where he volunteered as club secretary. He claimed to be making rent payments to the club's landlord - even though the team was actually getting its property for free. Hughes, 31, spent the money on himself, including camping equipment and a stag holiday to Las Vegas, Salisbury Crown Court heard. The former soldier, who served two tours in Iraq, pleaded guilty to stealing £17,000, but the club claimed that the total theft amounted to £26,000. He made out 70 bogus rent payments to an account he'd set up in the name of landlord Aspire Defence, which was not charging the club rent. Judge Andrew Barnett said: 'For two years you milked the funds of that football club, set up principally for those involved in the services and their children. 'You in effect treated a great deal of club money as your own. It was spent on personal luxuries. That's a disgraceful thing to do.' Hughes, from Andover in Hampshire, has been working as a telecoms engineer since he left the Army. Holiday: Hughes spent the money on a stag holiday in Las Vegas, pictured, and camping equipment . The court heard that he had an exemplary career in the military, and no prior criminal record. Relatives burst into tears when Hughes was sentenced to 16 months in prison. Speaking after the case, Tidworth Town chairman said the Wiltshire club was happy that justice had been done. 'It's a relief we can put this to bed now,' he said. | Ex-soldier Riki Hughes, 31, was the club secretary at Tidworth Town FC .

Why do people kill? A Manhattan real estate publicist and freelance writer has been penning letters to murderers behind bars to find out exactly what makes them tick. Kelly Kreth, 44, told Dailymail.com that after having a traumatic encounter with a sociopath in her own life she became inspired to learn about the inner workings of a criminal mind. Six years and 600 prison letters later, Kreth says she's learned that a sociopath is a person 'who wants to feel like the smartest person in the room.' Her own trauma: Kelly Kreth told Dailymail.com that after having a traumatic encounter with a sociopath in her own life she became inspired to learn about the inner workings of a criminal mind . Conceptual prison: In order to make initial contact with the prisoners, Kreth sent a postcard that had an image of her in a striped dress along with a note saying she thinks everyone lives in a type of prison . 'They do it for the thrill,' she said, adding that she does not condone any of the perpetrators crimes. Kreth has written to men and women behind bars who she believes fit the bill of a sociopath and who have a certain level of intelligence so that they are able to discuss their crimes in a conceptual manner. The New York Post reports that the list of the killers Kreth interacted with include Michael Swango, a doctor who poisoned as many as 60 patients in a variety of different hospitals for over two decades. 'I love it: the sweet, close, husky smell of indoor homicide,' Swango wrote in a notebook presented by prosecutors in 2000. Another killer she dared to write was Sarah Joe Pender who was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a couple that she and her boyfriend shared a house with in 2000. Hundreds of letters: Six years and 600 prison letters later, Kreth says she's learned that a sociopath is a person 'who wants to feel like the smartest person in the room' Kreth also wrote to Ira Einhorn, a hippie who helped to found Earth Day. In 1979 police found his ex-girlfriends body beaten and mummified in his closet in 1979. She even reached out to prisoner Thomas 'Bart' Whitaker, a man on death row for the murder of his devout Christian family in 2003. In order to make initial contact with the prisoners, Kreth sent a postcard that had an image of her in a striped dress. She planned to open conversation by saying that prison goes beyond padlocked walls. 'I wanted to discuss how conceptually everyone lives in their own type of prison.' Kreth says she shared personal information about her own life so that the prisoners saw her as someone they would feel comfortable sharing their secrets with. 'Sociopaths spend their whole life acting,' Kreth told Dailymail.com . 'They can tell when people are being fake or genuine. I waited two years before asking them the questions about what makes them a true sociopath.' Hippy killer: Fugitive Ira Einhorn who killed his ex-girlfriend told Kreth that he is not a sociopath but found manipulating people easy . Kreth said one of her most interesting interactions was with the hospital killer Michael Swango. ‘Love your look; love your age, Kelly,' Swango wrote Kreth in a 2009 letter, adding, 'Would love to get to know you much better. EXPLORE ALL THINGS INSIDE and OUTSIDE . . . I hope you’re not shy.' Kreth said she made it clear to prisoners that her interactions to them were not romantic, though it was her picture that got their attention. She says she would send Swango articles in publications in the New Yorker about sociopaths and that he would then circle parts of the story he felt were true characteristics of a killer. ‘A sociopath wants to feel like he is the smartest person in the world,’ Swango told her. When asked if he had guilt or remorse, Swango wrote, ‘The short answer to your question is, ‘nothing at all That’s why it went on for so long. No deep thoughts, or confusion, or remorse or anything else.’ Lady killer: Another killer she dared to write was Sarah Joe Pender who was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a couple that she and her boyfriend shared a house with in 2000 . When asked if sociopath’s feel he wrote, ‘I would disagree that a sociopath can “neither feel empathy or true love.” One can be “empathetic” to some people or things and not to others. Where is the line between love, obsessive love, or something that looks like any of the above, but is not…? You & I could have a long discussion on the exact meaning of this phrase! Many gradations, many shades of gray between pure while & pure darkness/evil!’ Swango, Kreth told the Post, would sign his letters very bizarrely. ‘Sometimes he would sign his notes "You know you love me, XOXO, Gossip Girl,"” Kreth said. ‘He’s a 60 year old guy, who has maybe murdered 60 people, who’s into poison, and writing, ‘hey girl’ . . . and ‘OMG we must talk about ebola.’ ‘It’s darkly funny,’ she said. When speaking to Ira Einhorn who killed his girlfriend, Einhorn said that he doesn't see himself as a sociopath but told her that 'manipulation is the easiest thing in the world.' 'I’m an empath, so calling me, labeling me as a sociopath is silly.When you’re intelligent & have some ability to introspect, you early on or eventually realize that it is easy to manipulate almost everyone you meet. You or I made a choice: No manipulation which people often take as the ultimate manipulation. Too easy! Not interesting — what is of great interest is direct open communication which is what I did for years in the 70s,' he wrote. Murdered his parents: Thomas Bart Whitaker told Kreth he admits to being a sociopath and says he murdered his parents because they 'didn't love him' Thomas Bart Whitaker never admitted to being a sociopath but said he always felt different form other people. 'You are correct about being born with the wrong wiring. Some of us just don’t have things set up upstairs like everyone else,' he wrote her in a letter. An alleged killer Kreth has been dying to interview is millionaire Robert Durst who has been linked to three murders but never convicted. Durst, who was heir to a vast real estate empire before becoming estranged from his family, was arrested last month for the suspected 2000 murder of his friend, writer Susan Berman, in Los Angeles. ‘Durst once stole a sandwich for $6 but had $37,000 with him in his car. It’s because he wanted to feel the thrill. He seems like the true definition of a sociopath.’ Writing to killers has helped Kreth to heal and has also provided fascinating insight into a criminal's mind. She told Dailymail.com she hopes to write a book. | Kelly Kreth had a traumatic encounter with a sociopath in her own life and became inspired to learn about the inner workings of a criminal mind .

The attorney representing a 16-year-old Pennsylvania boy charged with fatally shooting a friend in the face and then taking a selfie with his lifeless body stated in court Wednesday that the killing was an accident. Defense attorney Patrick Thomassey doesn't deny that Maxwell Morton, of Jeannette, killed 16-year-old Ryan Mangan at Mangan's home February 4. But Thomassey disputes that Morton meant to kill Mangan. He says the boys were horsing around with a loaded gun when Mangan was shot in the left eye. Scroll down for video . Maxwell Morton (left), 16, has been charged with murder in the death of Mangan (right), 16, after Mangan was found with a single gunshot wound to the face . Headed for trial: Morton, seen here being led in handcuffs into a courthouse Wednesday, was ordered to stand trial for the alleged murder . Accidental or intentional? Morton's lawyer and family insisted he and the victim were friends and there was no animosity between the two boys . During a hearing Wednesday, a police officer testified that Morton was trying to take a picture of Mangan with the cellphone aimed down the barrel of the gun before pulling the trigger. Thomassey says Morton panicked and took the selfie to send to a friend via Snapchat as 'proof' after the friend refused to believe what happened. The defense attorney said it was Mangan who brought the gun and reloaded it for Morton. What happened next, according to Tomassey, was a terrible accident. 'Obviously, there was no animus whatsoever between these two young men,' he told reporters. Morton's relatives, who attended Wednesday's hearing, sounded a similar note when asked about the deadly shooting outside the courtroom. 'It was an accident. That was his friend,' said the teenager's mother, Honey Morton, accoding to the station KDKA. Mangan's family were also in the audience but declined to speak to the press. Morton, dressed in a suit and tie, was led in handcuffs into the Westmoreland County Courthouse by a pair of officers for a preliminary hearing Wednesday, which concluded with District Judge Joseph DeMarchis ordering the 16-year-old to stand trial for first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a minor. Detective Bob Weaver testified in court that Morton had sent the selfie of Mangan's body slumped over a chair via an Xbox to a friend in Wisconsin. He also allegedly boasted that he 'got his first body, reported TribLive. Morton was identified by police after he sent a selfie on Snapchat of himself posing with Mangan's (above) body . According to authorities, when police came to interview Morton a day after the shooting, the teenager made a confession. 'I just shot him. it didn't matter, and I don't care,' he was quoted as telling the cops. Police also recovered a 9mm handgun from the basement of the boy's home, which Morton allegedly identified as the weapon used in the shooting. District Attorney John Peck said that based on the evidence and Morton's own statements, the shooting was not accidental and the suspect's actions afterwards show a 'callousness of guilt.' Morton is being held without bond pending his formal arraignment scheduled for May 20. Ryan Mangan, a junior at Jeannette High School where Maxwell Morton was also a student, was found dead around 6pm on February 4 by his mother, Rebecca Murtland. Investigators at the scene found a 9mm shell casing but a handgun was not recovered at the time. The day after Mangan was found, a mother of one of Morton's friends told police her son received a selfie on Snapchat of the victim who was sitting in a chair with a bloody wound to his face, according to the Post-Gazette. Morton's friend saved the image before it deleted itself, as Snapchat lets users send images that are removed from the recipient's phone after a few seconds. The friend's mother also said her son received messages from Morton that said: 'I told you I cleaned up the shells', 'Ryan was not the last one' and 'got my first body.' The teen was discovered by his mother in her home (above) last Wednesday evening . Mangan was a junior in high school at Jeannette High School and has been described as a fun-loving guy by friends . Following a search at Morton's home, he confessed to shooting Mangan after police found a 9mm handgun hidden under the basement steps that matched the shell casing found at the scene of the murder, according to Triblive. Mangan's friends have gathered to comfort each other as they mourn his loss, and described him as a fun-loving guy who was goofy and funny. His friend Taylor Wiltrout said she just wants justice served in the case. She said: 'That would be the most important thing. That's what he would want. He would want all of us to continue on and go on like he's still here and do what we planned on doing.' | Maxwell Morton, 16, from Pennsylvania, will be tried as an adult for shooting Ryan Mangan .

Adi Viveash's Chelsea U19s side stormed into the UEFA Youth League final following a 4-0 mauling of Roma in the semis. After a tense and goalless first-half, midfielder Charlie Colckett's deflected shot gave Chelsea the lead. Striker Dominic Solanke then scored a brace, before substitute Tammy Abraham wrapped up the win with a tap in on 83 minutes. Chelsea will now face Shakhtar Donetsk's U19s team in the final.

Chelsea's Isaiah Brown (left) tussle for the ball with Roma's Silvio Anocic (right) in the box . Roma had initially defended strongly, but capitulated after the break. Chelsea made two changes from the side that started the quarter-final victory over Atletico Madrid last month, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Charly Musonda coming into the line-up. Andreas Christensen, who started in midfield against Atletico, was paired with Jake Clarke-Salter at centre-back, while Ola Aina and Jay DaSilva occupied the full-back positions. Loftus-Cheek was partnered in midfield by Colkett and Musonda, with the latter operating in the hole behind the front-three of Solanke, Jeremie Boga and captain Izzy Brown.

The first came at the end of a driving run from Brown, which saw the ball bounce kindly into the path of Colkett for him to wrong-foot the goalkeeper with an awkward shot. A second goal followed from Christensen's excellent long ball forward, met by the run of Solanke who rounded the rushing keeper to fire into an empty net. After Boga had an attempt spilled by the keeper, Solanke was on hand to poach his second and Chelsea's third. Solanke has now netted 11 goals in this year's Youth League and is the competition's leading scorer. The rout was completed when Abraham, on from the bench, converted Kasey Palmer's cross.

An Israeli geologist claims he has ‘confirmed’ the existence and authenticity of a tomb belonging to Jesus and his son in Jerusalem. After extensive chemical tests, Dr Arye Shimron says he has linked the James Ossuary – a 1st-century chalk box that some believe hold the bones of Jesus' brother – to the long disputed ‘Jesus Family tomb’ in the city’s East Talpiot neighbourhood. The research could have enormous ramifications as it suggests that Jesus was married, fathered a child and that a physical resurrection did not take place. Scroll down for video . After running 150 chemical tests, an expert claims to have linked the James Ossuary (pictured) – a 1st-century chalk box that was used for containing the bones of the dead – to the long disputed ‘Jesus Family tomb’ in the city’s East Talpiot neighbourhood . According to geoarcheologist Dr Shimron, the 'son of God' was buried with nine other people, including ‘Judah, son of Jesus’ and his wife, named Mary. Dr Shimron’s work has renewed controversy over the Talpiot tomb, which was discovered in 1980 and dates back to the Second Temple period and the time of Jesus,The Jerusalem Post reported. Bones were discovered inside ossuaries, including one that bore the inscription, ‘Jesus, son of Joseph'. Others included the names Maria, Joseph, Mary, Yose, Matthew and most controversially, ‘Judah, son of Jesus’. Joseph, Mary and Jesus were all common names at the time and a statistician from the University of Toronto said that they each made up eight per cent of the population. However, a very small percentage would have had the same family name combination as described in the Bible. Dr Shimron’s work has renewed the controversy over the Talpiot tomb, which was found in 1980 and dates back to the Second Temple period and the time of Jesus (a portrait is pictured) The long-disputed long disputed ‘Jesus Family tomb’ in the city’s East Talpiot neighbourhood (marked) and is now sealed beneath a concrete slab after building work took place some years ago . Probing this connection, Dr Shimron and documentary maker Simcha Jacobovici looked closer at the ossuaries, including the James Ossuary, which is held by a private owner and bears the inscription, ‘James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus’. The James Ossuary is a first century chalk example of a box that was used to hold the bones of the dead. But it stands out because it bears the inscription 'James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus' on one side. The inscription is considered significant because it may provide archaeological evidence of Jesus, . The existence of the ossuary was announced in 2002, but its authenticity was immediately challenged. The box's owner was charged with forging part of the inscription and while he was found innocent seven years later, the judge said the acquittal 'does not mean that the inscription on the ossuary is authentic or that it was written 2,000 years ago'. Now, Dr Shimron claims the chemical signature on the ‘crust’ of the box matches that of a tomb in Jerusalem known as the ‘Jesus Family tomb’ where other ossuaries were found bearing the names of Jesus and Mary as well as ‘Judah, son of Jesus’. The owner of the ossuary, Oded Golan, was accused of forging the inscription shortly after its discovery by an academic from the Sorbonne in Paris, but he was later found innocent. Other experts and archaeologists have rejected the claim that the Jerusalem tomb is connected with Jesus at all. Recently Dr Shimron gained access to the James Ossuary and scraped beneath the box's patina, the layer that forms on metal over time. He ran around 150 tests on the chemistry of samples from 25 different ossuaries – 15 of which were from unrelated tombs – and found that traces of magnesium, iron and silicon from the James Ossuary matched the chemical signature of Talpiot tomb. The Talpiot ossuaries were covered in a thick layer of ‘Rendzina’ soil, which is characteristic of the hills of East Jerusalem when they were found and has a unique chemistry. Dr Shimron worked from the assumption that an earthquake of 363AD flooded the tomb with soil and mud to cover the ossuaries, effectively forming a vacuum and freezing them in time. Soil that seeped into the box matched that found in the Talpiot ossuaries, indicating that it had lain for years alongside others in the ‘holy’ location. Bones were discovered there in ossuaries, or chalk boxes, including one that bears the inscription, ‘Jesus, son of Joseph' with others bearing the names of Maria, Joseph, Mary, Yose, Matthew and most controversially, ‘Judah, son of Jesus’. Here an inscription that says 'Yoseph' on an ossuary . Because bones were found in the ossuaries, it could be argued that there was no bodily resurrection (portrayed in this tapestry) which is the belief of more traditional Christians, while others accept the event was spiritual . Jesus Christ was not a real person and is probably the result of a combination of stories about several different individuals, according to a writer and leading atheist activist. David Fitzgerald, a San Francisco based author, believes he has compiled compelling evidence that proves Jesus did not exist. He claims there are no contemporary mentions of Jesus in historical accounts from the time when he was supposed to have lived, yet other Jewish sect leaders from the time do appear. Jesus Christ was not a real person and is probably the result of a combination of stories about several different individuals, according to a writer and leading atheist activist. A mosaic of Christ is shown . He also points to discrepancies in the early gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke, claiming these were written decades after the supposed time of Jesus. Instead he insists the disciples of Jesus were also probably not real and their names only later attached to the gospels to lend them credence. Speaking to MailOnline, he said: 'There is a paradox that Jesus did all these amazing things and taught all these amazing things yet no one heard of him outside his immediate cult for nearly 100 years. 'Or it means he didn't do all these things at all. 'The first gospel of Christianity appears to have been a literary allegory that were written decades after the time they portray. 'I believe that Christianity started as one of the many mystery faiths that appeared at the time where old Gods and old traditions were rebooted. 'Christianity appears to have been a Jewish mystery faith. David Fitzgerald told MailOnline: 'There is a paradox that Jesus did all these amazing things and taught all these amazing things yet no one heard of him outside his immediate cult for nearly 100 years'. The famous statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is shown . 'By the time of Paul there appears to have been plenty of different "Lord's suppers" as he complains about the existence of other gospels and messiahs. 'It appears that early Christianity managed to take the stories from these other faiths and incorporate them into the story of Jesus.' Mr Fitzgerald said: 'There is nothing implausible to think that Jesus was a real person, but I just don't think that he can have been a single person if he existed at all. 'We also have no mention of Jesus in other historical texts from the time. There were certainly people writing about Judea at the time like Philo of Alexandria. 'During this period there were many other messiahs and wannabe messiahs who did far less exciting things than Jesus, but all of them managed something Jesus did not - to make a dent on the historical record. 'Two billion people believe all these miracles happened yet there is no evidence they did.' Jacobovici told The Jerusalem Post: ‘This find illustrates that the James Ossuary is authentic and the Jesus Family tomb indeed belongs to the family of Jesus of Nazareth.’ Dr Shumron told The New York Times: ‘I think I’ve got really powerful, virtually unequivocal evidence that the James ossuary spent most of its lifetime, or death time, in the Talpiot Tomb.’ The retired senior researchers of the Geological Survey of Israel, added: ‘ The evidence is beyond what I expected.’ The duo are aware that the findings could rock the Christian church, but insist the research is scientific and not theological. Because bones were found in the ossuaries, it could be argued that there was no bodily resurrection, which is the belief of more traditional Christians, while others accept the event was spiritual. The Talpiot tomb is now sealed under a concrete slab, while the ossuaries found there are in the hands of the Israel Antiquities Authority. The James Ossuary is kept in a secret location by its owner, who lives in Tel Aviv. | Geologist ran 150 chemical tests on ossuaries and 'Jesus Family tomb'

Police searching for missing student Karen Buckley have arrested a 21-year-old man in connection with her death after discovering human remains on a farm outside Glasgow. Officers made the grisly discovery last night as they combed rural land on the outskirts of Milngavie, some nine miles from the Scottish city. Although formal identification is yet to take place, a police spokesman said Miss Buckley's family had been informed. Police hunting for Karen Buckley have found 'human remains' on a farm outside the city and arrested a man 'in connection with her death' Police have taped off High Craigton Farm near Milngavie to the north of Glasgow after making the discovery . A number of plastic barrels were examined during the search, as well as a large metal container . Investigating: Two police stand near a sign for High Craigton Farm near Bearsden, outside Glasgow . Probe: A Police Scotland van was among the vehicles parked at High Craigton Farm near Bearsden last night . Yesterday, police investigating the nurse's disappearance said they were following a 'definite line of enquiry'. Last night police moved their search from a park in Glasgow - where the nurse's handbag had been found - to a farm, graveyard and golf course near a rural road in the Stirlingshire countryside. Police then cordoned off land to the north of Glasgow, near High Craigton farm and Windyhill Golf Club. The land lies near Bearsden, on a country road between Milngavie and Drymen. One of the fire service vehicles was said to be an Environmental Protection Unit, which deals with incidents involving hazardous chemicals and environmental contamination. Earlier this morning, a Police Scotland spokesman said: 'Police Scotland officers have recovered human remains on a farm in the north Glasgow, on the outskirts of Milngavie. 'Formal identification has yet to take place, however, police believe that they may be those of missing woman Karen Buckley. Relatives are aware. Enquiries are continuing.' Miss Buckley's parents, who had flown over from Ireland to join the hunt, said yesterday that their daughter's disappearance was totally out of character and that they were 'desperate' for her safe return. The probe had been stepped up amid 'grave concerns' for the 24-year-old's welfare. Ms Buckley, originally from Cork, was last seen on CCTV leaving the city's Sanctuary nightclub with a man at 1am on Sunday.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said last night that officers are now following 'a definite line of inquiry' Police yesterday sealed off High Craigton Farm near Bearsden, outside Glasgow, in the search for Ms Buckley. Sniffer dogs, forensic teams and specialist divers were all involved in the search . Last night, there was intense activity at the farm when fire engines and major incident trucks moved in . This map shows the outbuildings in woods near to High Craigton Farm, between Glasgow and the Stirlingshire village of Drymen, where 'human remains' were found . He told police he thought she was fine and had arranged transport home, some four miles across the city. But she never arrived. Yesterday, officers searched a park in the north-east of the city, Dawsholm Park. Miss Buckley's black handbag - which she was carrying on the night of her disappearance - was later found there by a member of the public. Divers also searched the River Kelvin, which borders the area. A police helicopter also circled between the villages of Milngavie and Drymen, where a grey car linked to the search was seen on Monday. With the time since Miss Buckley went missing passing 70 hours, police stepped up the search yesterday . Yesterday, forensics teams searched around the flat where she was last seen, as concerns grew about her safety . Detective Superintendent Jim Kerr has said: 'Our absolute priority is to find Karen Buckley' The student is said to have left a flat in the north-west of the city at 4am intending to walk home . Friends say Miss Buckley had left the nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning without collecting her coat, telling them she was going to the toilet. They have since said that Miss Buckley had been drinking but was not drunk. CCTV cameras filmed her talking to a man outside the club before getting into a car and travelling to his flat in nearby Kelvindale. Miss Buckley, who is brunette and 5ft 2in, was wearing a black jumpsuit and red heels when she was seen leaving the flat in Kelvindale at around 4am. A team of police officers resume the search for Miss Buckley in Dawsholm Park in Glasgow yesterday morning . The family of Miss Buckley, who is from Cork in the Republic of Ireland, have flown to Scotland to help with the search for the Glasgow Caledonian University student. Her mother Marion told a press conference in Glasgow: 'We just want Karen home safely, we are desperate. She is our only daughter, we love her dearly. 'If anybody has any information please come forward, we would dearly appreciate it.' Her father John Buckley, 62, added: 'We are extremely concerned for her. We are desperate to get her back and safe with her family - she is our only daughter, we love her dearly and just want her to come home safe and sound. 'She always keeps in contact with her family and friends to let them know where she is and what she is up to. 'To not return to her flat or be in contact with her pals - not responding to texts and calls to her mobile is very, very worrying as it is so out of character.' Two months ago Miss Buckley moved to Glasgow two months ago to study occupational therapy at the university. She previously worked as a nurse in Essex. Police have found Miss Buckley's handbag, believed to be that circled (left), in a park where the search continued yesterday (right) As well as a thorough search of Dawsholm Park, officers were seen scouring the gardens near a flat . They taped off a large pile of rubbish around the back of the building and sifted through the bins and waste . Detective Superintendent Jim Kerr, from Police Scotland's major investigations teams, said yesterday: 'We've traced the man she was with in Dorchester Avenue. He believes he was intimate with her at his flat consensually in the early hours of Sunday.' The police officer added: 'From what we can see, she does not appear to be under duress, there's no signs of a struggle or reluctance on her part to leave the club.' Police are also keen to find out more about a grey car that was seen on the roads between Milngavie and Drymen north of Glasgow between 11am and 3pm on Monday. Mr Kerr said: 'The activity of this grey car on the Monday is something that we're a wee bit concerned about. This car has been seen at various locations on these roads and I want to know why.' Speaking of Miss Buckley, Mr Kerr added: 'We know she left the club with her handbag – which has been found - but left her coat behind and so far has not returned to pick it up. 'Why she left so suddenly without telling her friends we just don't know – it was very much out of character – she is usually very good at keeping in touch with pals.' Miss Buckley's parents Marian and John have travelled to Glasgow from Cork to help in the search . He added: 'We are gravely concerned that Karen has come to some harm, whether that is down to foul play, criminality or she has taken unwell or had an accident is obviously still to be established.' Meanwhile, in Ms Buckley's home in north Cork a special prayer service was arranged for local people to show support for the family. The private Mass of Hope, as it was being described, was held last night at the Church of Saint Michael The Archangel, Mourneabbey, near the town of Mallow. William Crean, Catholic Bishop of Cloyne, led the prayers and urged the people of Mourneabbey to pray for Ms Buckley's safe return and to pray for her parents, and her brothers Brendan, Kieran and Damian. 'I invite all people of goodwill to join with me in prayer for everyone who is involved in the search for Karen at this time,' he said. The search continued this morning as officers combed the area for potential clues .

After years of hoping he would rip opposition defences to shreds, Pep Guardiola has admitted he has to start trying to work out a way to stop Lionel Messi. On the prospect of facing the greatest player in Barcelona's history, Guardiola – the greatest coach the club has had – said: 'We will have to see what we can do in each of the two games and we will try to create the best defensive system possible to stop Messi. 'They are a wonderful team but so are we,' said the Bayern Munich boss. Pep Guardiola will be reintroduced to Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals . The Bayern Munich coach must think of a way to stop the superb Lionel Messi next month . Guardiola goes back to Barcelona with the team now coached by Luis Enrique playing their best football since he left the club in 2012. 'It will be a very special game for me,' he said after the teams were drawn to face each other. 'It will also be special for Thiago [Alcantara] and for the rest of the coaching staff. I lived my whole life in Barcelona, it' s my home.' Guardiola nurtured Messi into the best player in the world while manager at the Nou Camp . Guardiola showed how much the club still means to him when alongside his father he watched them beat Manchester City in the last 16, cheering them on from the stands of the Nou Camp. He did little to hide his appreciation for Messi that night and admitted that the four-times Ballon d'Or winner could punish Bayern if they are as sloppy as they were in the first leg against Porto in the quarter-finals. They went down 3-1 before hammering the Portuguese outfit 6-1 in Bavaria. He said: 'If we make the same mistakes then the tie will be all over in Barcelona.' | Bayern Munich face Barcelona in the Champions League semis .

Nicola Sturgeon yesterday vowed to prop up Ed Miliband in Downing Street – even if he loses the election. In her most extraordinary offer yet the nationalist leader called on the Labour leader to help her ‘lock’ David Cameron out of Downing Street. And crucially, she said the offer stood ‘regardless of who is the biggest party’ in the House of Commons. Scroll down for video . Nicola Sturgeon (pictured) said she would try to 'lock David Cameron out of Downing Street' regardless of whether the Tories finished as the largest party next month . Her comments raise the prospect of Mr Miliband ending up in Number 10 as a result of nationalist support despite having fewer seats in the House of Commons than the Tories. Miss Sturgeon’s latest offer came amid continued fallout from claims she told a French diplomat she wanted David Cameron to remain as Prime Minister. The report of the conversation, on February 26, between Miss Sturgeon and Sylvie Bermann, the French Ambassador, was contained within a Scotland Office memo leaked to the Daily Telegraph. The claim was denied both by the French embassy and Miss Sturgeon. Miss Sturgeon also denied a separate claim in the memo that Mr Miliband is ‘not Prime Minister material’. It undermines the SNP leader’s claim that she wants to build a progressive alliance with Labour to keep the Conservatives out of office. The SNP’s opponents say it would favour another Tory-led government, against which it could campaign in an attempt to make an ‘out’ vote more likely in another referendum. In an article for the Observer addressed to Mr Miliband she wrote: ‘If together our parties have the parliamentary numbers required after 7 May, and regardless of which is the biggest party, will he and Labour join with us in locking David Cameron out of Downing Street?’ Ed Miliband has ruled out going into Coalition with SNP but has not rejected the prospect of working with them . Chancellor George Osborne said the prospect of the SNP propping up the Labour Party in power was an 'alliance between a party that wants to bankrupt the country and a party that wants to break up the country' Her comments heaped pressure on Labour to rule out any deal with the nationalists. Labour has ruled out a formal coalition with the SNP but has refused to say if it would enter a looser agreement on policy areas to stay in power. Tory chief whip Michael Gove said: ‘My concern is that if the SNP win the number of seats they are projected to, they could hold the balance of power and hold Labour leader Ed Miliband to ransom.’ Miss Sturgeon is calling for a £180billion debt-fuelled public spending spree and an end to the Trident nuclear deterrent. Former cabinet minister Peter Hain told Radio 4’s The World This Weekend he said: ‘It is a curious plea being made by Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP: vote anything except Labour to get a Labour government. That makes no sense at all.’ A Panelbase poll released yesterday put the SNP, on 45 per cent, with Labour on 29 per cent. If repeated across Scotland, the poll findings suggest the SNP would win 29 of the 41 seats won by Labour in 2010. A BBC reporter said he suffered an onslaught of ‘vicious abuse’ from Scottish Nationalists simply for asking Nicola Sturgeon about the claims that she would prefer David Cameron to remain as Prime Minister. Scotland correspondent James Cook was called ‘scum of the earth’ and ‘lying scum’ by SNP supporters on Twitter. One wrote that Mr Cook was ‘in the gutter’ and trying to ‘hide his SNP hatred’, while another accused him of being a ‘typical BBC/Westminster mouthpiece’. On Saturday Mr Cook wrote on the site: ‘What an extraordinary level of vicious abuse I have received today for simply reporting the news. Is this the country we want folks? Is it?’ He added: ‘Of course there are some SNP strategists – I know, I’ve spoken to them – who say in private a Tory victory would hasten independence. ‘Of course I should ask tough questions of politicians. This is a democracy. This is my role in it. And finally if, despite my 23 years of reporting things straight, you think I simply make up conversations then do feel free to unfollow me.’ Miss Sturgeon later praised Mr Cook in an apparent attempt to calm the situation. She tweeted: ‘James Cook is one of the best journalists in Scotland. Tough but scrupulously fair and a consummate professional.’ | SNP chief says she would work with Labour regardless of election result .

Two Las Vegas parents have been arrested after a child's corpse was discovered in a car, a baby was found with severe malnutrition and a sheltered teenager was impregnated by her stepfather. Jondrew Lachaux, 39, and Kellie Phillips, 38, turned themselves in after the three children were found, North Las Vegas police said. They have been arrested and face child abuse charges, while Lachaux is also charged with concealing evidence after the toddler's badly decomposed body was found in the garage. A teenager is also being held on a child abuse charge. Arrested: Jondrew Lachaux (left) and Kellie Phillips (right) turned themselves in after the children were found . According to court documents, the man and woman took five of their children on a trip to Oakland, California, eight months ago. The couple left behind two daughters - a teen who is Phillips' biological child and Lachaux's stepdaughter and a sickly three-year-old toddler - in their suburban Las Vegas home because the rental vehicle was full. Authorities say Lachaux reportedly impregnated the teen, who gave birth at home without any medical care to a now four-month-old girl. She struggled to care for herself and her three-year-old sister who had medical problems while pregnant and home alone. But the teen said she was too scared to call for help even after the food and medication left by their mother ran out. 'The totality of evidence is leading investigators to believe she was almost a prisoner in her home, police Sergeant Chrissie Coon said. 'Fugitives can psychologically confine their victims without physically being present.' The case first unraveled on April 1 when the teen was seen at McCarran International Airport with a very sick baby. The infant was hospitalised in an extremely critical condition for severe malnutrition and hypothermia resulting from surviving on watered-down baby formula. In an interview with police, the teenager described the abuse at home in detail, claiming Lachaux raped her without her mother knowing. For the past five years, the family had lived in North Las Vegas, but the children rarely went outside and were home-schooled. The teen told police she has had braces on her teeth from five years ago but hadn't seen a dentist since. Jondrew Lachaux faces child abuse charges and concealing evidence after the toddler's badly decomposed body was found in the garage . The teen said her three-year-old sister apparently had trouble breathing and died. She called her parents for two weeks before Lachaux called back to learn of the death. She said in late March her stepfather came home to hide her sister's corpse and then kicked her out of the house in fear that her mother would find out about the pregnancy. Lachaux and the teen apparently hid the badly decomposed body in the back seat of a broken-down Mercedes in the garage. The corpse was concealed in a box surrounded by blankets, plastic bags and pizza boxes, according to court records. The coroner's office said it has not yet positively identified the body or the cause of death. The teenager was homeless for a few days, staying in public places including the airport and on the Las Vegas Strip. She is now being held in juvenile detention on a child abuse charge. The other five children - aged one, four, seven, eight and nine - were found with Phillips in good health and have been put in protective custody.

The last two 'Doolittle Tokyo Raiders' presented the group's Congressional Gold Medal for permanent display at the National Museum of the US Air Force on Saturday, 73 years to the day after their daring bombing attack on Japan rallied Americans in World War II. Retired Lt Col Richard 'Dick' Cole, age 99, gave the medal to the museum's director in a ceremony at the museum attended by military and political officials and relatives of the original 80 Raiders. The medal, awarded by Congress earlier in the week, arrived in a ceremonial B-25 flight. Scroll down for video . Staff Sgt David Thacker (left) and Lt Col Richard Cole (right) presented the Doolittle medal during a ceremony . The last Tokyo Doolittle Raiders gave the Congressional Gold Medal to the National Museum of the US Air Force . The important medal, which was awarded by Congress earlier in the week, arrived in a ceremonial B-25 flight . Cole, a Dayton native, was mission leader and James 'Jimmy' Doolittle's co-pilot for the B-25 bombers' attack that stunned Japan and lifted American spirits less than five months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Last month, Lt Col Robert Hite (pictured), one of the three remaining Tokyo Doolittle Raiders, died after a battle with Alzheimer's disease at the age of 95 . Retired Staff Sgt David Thatcher, 93, came from Missoula, Montana, for the event, and said the medal was for all 80. Cole came from Comfort, Texas. Cole recalled wryly Saturday that on the evening of April 18, 1942, Thatcher was on the beach in China helping save his crew after a crash-landing, 'And I was hanging in my parachute in a tree.' Cole flew with Doolittle in plane No. 1 of the 16 launched from an aircraft carrier. Thatcher was engineer-gunner aboard the 7th plane, nicknamed 'The Ruptured Duck,' whose crew's crash-landing and evasion of Japanese troops in China was depicted in the movie Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. Thatcher, who was played by Robert Walker in the movie while Spencer Tracy portrayed Doolittle, chuckled as he recounted how the Raiders had given little thought at the time of the raid about earning a place in history. 'We figured it was just another bombing mission,' he said in a recent phone interview from his home. In the years afterward, though, he said, they realized: 'It was an important event in World War II.' Cole said: 'We proudly hand over our Congressional Gold Medal to [museum director retired Lt Gen] Jack Hudson, who we trust will respectfully guard it and have it securely displayed... for the world to see and appreciate.' Their medal will join the museum's diorama about their raid. Hudson has pledged their inspirational story 'will live on.' The Doolittle Raid, also known as the Tokyo Raid, on April 18, 1942, caused negligible material damage to Japan . The raid by the US boosted American morale in the wake of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 . Three Raiders have died since their 70th anniversary reunion at the museum in Ohio, two of them this year. The latest to fall was Lt. Col. Robert Hite, who died March 29 at age 95 at a Nashville, Tennessee, nursing facility. Hite was also the last of the eight Raiders who were captured by Japanese soldiers. Three were executed and a fourth died in captivity. Three other Raiders were killed soon after the bombing run, as most crash-landed or had to bail out. Thatcher joined Cole and Lt. Col. Edward Saylor at the museum less than two years ago for a public 'Final Toast' in which they lifted specially engraved silver goblets for the traditional toast of their reunions to those who have gone. He and Cole planned to do so again this weekend at a private gathering, now saluting Hite and Saylor, who died in January at 94. The medal will join a diorama about the raid and museum director John Hudson (right) pledged the story will live . The Doolittle Raid, also known as the Tokyo Raid, on 18 April 1942, was an air raid by the United States during World War II. The raid, led by Lieutenant Colonel James 'Jimmy' Doolittle, caused negligible material damage to Japan, but helped to boost a wounded nation's morale in the aftermath of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. US Army Air Forces B-25B Mitchell medium bombers, with five crewmen on each were launched without fighter escort from an aircraft carrier in the Pacific. The 16 planes, loaded with one-ton bombs, took off from the aircraft carrier on less than 500 feet of runway. They had only enough fuel to drop their bombs on military targets in Japan and try to land in China with the hope that the Chinese would help them to safety. Pilots volunteered and trained in Florida for what they only knew was 'extremely hazardous.' Navigator Griffin, from Green Bay, Wisconsin, got top-secret briefings with pilot David Jones in Washington, just five months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Once at sea, the rest learned targets - factories, plants, military facilities on mainland Japan. They knew the uncertainties: what if the Navy task force was attacked? What defences would they face? And with B-25s unable to land on a carrier decks, could they reach friendly bases in China? Aircraft: The raid, led by Lieutenant Colonel James 'Jimmy' Doolittle, B-25B Mitchell medium bomber launched without fighter escort from an aircraft carrier in the Pacific . The Raiders brushed aside Doolittle's assurances that anyone was free to withdraw. After encountering Japanese patrols, the raid launched ahead of plan, some 200 miles farther from shore for fuel-stretched bombers. Doolittle's plane took off first at 08:20 from a pitching carrier deck. They flew low in radio silence, skimming seas and then treetops. Cole recalls the country song 'Wabash Cannonball' running through his head. He tapped his foot in time until Doolittle shot him a questioning look. They were greeted by anti-aircraft guns and puffs of black smoke. Flak shook planes. When they arrived at the target, Col. Doolittle ordered to open up the bomb bay doors. The bombs dropped, and the raiders 'got the heck out of there.' The danger was just beginning. All 16 planes lacked enough fuel to reach bases and either crash-landed or ditched in dark, rough weather along China's coast south of Shanghai. They narrowly stayed ahead of Japanese searchers, who killed villagers suspected of helping the Americans. Eight Raiders were captured, and three executed. A fourth died in captivity. Three had died off the coast of China. In the end, fourteen crews, except for one crewman, returned either to the United States or to American forces. Bird's eye view: The 16 planes, loaded with one-ton bombs, would fly over military targets in Japan and try to land in China with the hope that the Chinese would help them to safety . | Lt Col Richard 'Dick' Cole, 99, gave the medal to Air Force museum director .

Looks like Lewis Hamilton has landed himself a cameo role in Zoolander 2. The F1 world champion was spotted on the Rome set for the comedy sequel, in a scene that looked like Ben Stiller's male model was taking part in a catwalk show with Owen Wilson's Hansel. Cameo: Lewis Hamilton and Olivia Munn film scenes in Rome for Zoolander 2 . Hamilton was sat front row with Olivia Munn and busily chatting in between takes on Friday. He donned a stylish red camouflage suit with a white shirt and sunglasses for the runway scene while Olivia wore a shaggy fur coat over the shoulders of a fashion forward dress. They happily chatted and showed each other their phones as they waited for the scene to be set. At one point, star and director Ben came over to chat to them, before changing into his Derek outfit. The British race car driver and actress have done well to nab a coveted cameo in the comedy sequel . The scene seems to show celebrities and fashionistas have gathered to watch Derek Zoolander's latest show . Lewis and Olivia happily chatted and checked out each other's phones in between takes . Star and director Ben Stiller chats to Lewis and Olivia on Friday evening . He and Owen both wore red all-in-ones with labels on the front that said 'Hello my name is OLD' on Derek and 'Hello my name is LAME' on Hansel's. Both actors wore silver boots to complete their ensemble in the collection that seemed to be focused on age and illness as some models looked like grannies and others used crutches. Hamilton arrived on a private plane for the night shoot, which was a fashion show. He left Rome the morning after the shoot. Hamilton is making his first live-action cameo on the big screen having previously lent his voice to Disney animation Cars 2. This cameo marks Lewis's big screen live-action debut in a movie . He previously voiced himself in the Disney animation sequel starring Owen Wilson . Zoolander 2 is one of the most highly-anticipated films of 2016 . Owen Wilson voiced the main motor Lightning McQueen in the kids' film, so they've previously worked together, though probably didn't meet during their studio sessions. So far Penelope Cruz, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are believed to have cameo roles too, with Billy Zane also getting a role which may not be as himself. His casting was announced on Ben Stiller's social media channels, but the bald actor was wearing a Hansel style wig, so maybe taking on a different role, after playing himself in the first film. Owen and Ben return as Hansel and Derek in the follow-up to their 2001 hit . The actors don red jumpsuits with 'Hello My Name Is OLD' and ''Hello My Name Is LAME' The plot, written by Justin Theroux, centres on Derek and Hansel who are modelling again but are the target of an opposing company attempting to take them out from the business . Kristen Wiig is also to star in the comedy sequel, as well as young actor Cyrus Arnold as Derek Jnr. Ben's real life wife Christine Taylor reprises her role as journalist Matilda Jeffries, now Zoolander's wife too and the mother of their only child. The plot, written by Justin Theroux, centres on Derek and Hansel who are modelling again but are the target of an opposing company attempting to take them out from the business.

Straight after Easter on planet football comes squeaky bum time, but the only squeaking at Chelsea came from Jose Mourinho, trying to contain his mirth when told West Ham had the most positive tactics in England. Mourinho was having no truck with the Barclays Premier League's Fair Play table, which lauded the Hammers for their attacking style and frowned upon Chelsea's lack of respect. He dismissed it as a joke. He was relaxed ahead of a visit from Manchester United. He even offered support to Manuel Pellegrini, claiming the Manchester City boss had been treated like a 'criminal' after losing six of eight games. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has spoken out in defence of under pressure colleague Manuel Pellegrini . Pellegrini has overseen a poor run of form at Manchester City, losing six of their last eight games . Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero (left) tussles for the ball with Manchester United's Marcos Rojo . United defender Chris Smalling scores his side's fourth goal as they beat City 4-2 at Old Trafford last week . Pellegrini poses with Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany (left) after winning the league last season . No love is lost between Mourinho and Pellegrini, but the Chelsea manager said: 'I'm surprised a team that won two titles in three years and are still champions can be brought to hell. 'It looks like they don't deserve respect, that they are bad players, that the manager is a bad manager, that they are a disaster. But they are the champions. 'You want lots of teams fighting for the title. 'So how can you be so negative with a team that's won two titles in three years? Some managers cannot win and life goes on, but the guys at Man City... it looks like they're criminals.' Victory on Saturday will extend Chelsea's lead over United to 11 points and inch Mourinho closer to his first Premier League title since 2006, having led from the start. 'We are boring, top of the league since day one,' said the Portuguese. 'Everyone would love the Premier League to be like the Championship, with four teams separated by a couple of points. 'I know this would be the ideal scenario, but since day one we are there. We are trying not to allow that to happen. We have big determination to be champions.' As for the Fair Play table, well, he couldn't care less. It is compiled using data from Premier League delegates who mark teams in six categories. The conduct of Chelsea's players towards match officials is rated the worst in the league and only Sunderland score worse when it comes to the behaviour of staff. 'I'm not surprised,' chuckled Mourinho. 'These delegates are the same delegates who do the evaluation of the referees' performances and I read them every week. 'I think it depends on the food and drink. We have to change the catering because we have the best and many times they don't see the games. Next season, bread and water.'

Manchester City have defended price hikes after some fans saw the cost of their season tickets almost double. A number of fans in the East Stand at the Etihad Stadium have been informed that their £885 season cards will rocket to £1,750. But the club say that is because the seats have been upgraded and now come with a different package. Some Etihad season tickets have seen their price double, despite empty seats at times this season . Some fans will now have to pay over £1,700 to watch Manuel Pellegrini's side, up from just £885 . They also point out that they still have 8,000 seats below Manchester United’s cheapest offering. Some of the fans affected claim City, who face a fight to secure Champions League football after winning last season’s Premier League title, are abusing their loyalty. One fan said: ‘After the season we have had you would think that if anything they would be lowering the prices. ‘When I was told about how much they were going up to I thought it was an error. They are taking advantage of us, despite how poor they have been this year.’ The club point out that they have reviewed pricing at the stadium following its extension, which will see the capacity rise from 48,000 to 54,000 next season. City claim the change is due to upgrades which have come in during the stadium's expansion . City have slumped to fourth this season after some poor performances in their title defence . They also cite improvements to seating and add that a number of fans have seen a decrease in the price of their ticket. City add that they have increased the number of £299 season tickets available with only Stoke City offering cheaper. The club confirmed yesterday that playmaker David Silva did not suffer any fractures in Sunday’s Premier League win over West Ham. Silva was taken to hospital for checks on his cheekbone and collarbone after being caught in the face by an elbow from Hammers midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate at the Etihad Stadium. | Manchester City fans see prices of some tickets rise from £885 to £1,750 .

Shannen Hussein may just have one of the largest collections of pets in Australia, not that she really considers them animals. The 21-year-old lives who on a 30-acre farm in Rockbank, 34 kilometres north-west of Melbourne, has spent her life hand-raising animals of all shapes and sizes. But her pets are often captured behaving like humans, from her lamb Winter who loves to jump on the bed to her bearded dragon who can understand the English language. Thanks to this Ms Hussein's collection of creatures have become somewhat of an internet sensation. The young woman said she has always taken photos and recorded videos of her 150 pets, but since a clip of Winter bouncing down her hallway went viral last year she's sharing these moments with more people than she ever imagined. 'As long as I can remember I had photographed and videoed my pets but only until I started Vine, did I really start posting what I captured,' the young woman told Daily Mail Australia. Scroll down for videos . Shannen Hussein, pictured with her lamb Winter, lives on a hobby farm outside Melbourne with over 150 pets . She shares all her animal's wild adventures on social media. Here Kyah the bird sits atop Ms Hussein's shoulder . Her lamb Winter became an internet sensation after a video of him bounding down a hallway went viral . Ms Hussein , 21, cares for dogs, cats, sheep, birds, lizards, snakes, scorpions, camels and many more creatures . Many of her animals have formed unlikely friendships, like this pug Amani and piglet Ms Hussein raised . On her parents' hobby farm Ms Hussein spends her days playing with, feeding, and caring for what she estimates to be at least 150 different animals. Her social media accounts are filled with cute and quirky snapshots of some of the animals' unique behaviours. Some moments captured include Winter bouncing up and down on the bed, him pushing Leo the cat off a chair, and then curling up with his feline friend for a nap. Winter also runs across the yard to Ms Hussein when he's called, headbutts chairs, bleats loudly, and snuggles ducklings. Liz the bearded dragon can understand English and nods when she wants something to eat, while baby ducklings follow their carer around the yard when they're called. Kyah the budgie likes to drink from water bottles, and Moey the kitten tries to attack his own reflection in the mirror. On her parents' hobby farm Ms Hussein spends her days playing with, feeding, and caring for what she estimates to be at least 150 different animals . Pictured here as two bearded dragon juveniles keeping cool . Ms Hussein has a number of pet snakes, as well as many other reptiles . Her bearded dragon recently laid these eggs and later gave birth to her first little of babies . This tiny water dragon juvenile takes in his surroundings . Shingleback lizard's also live on Ms Hussein 's farm, in Rockbank about 35 kilometres from Melbourne . Ms Hussein's cats like to watch as she feeds the turtles, and Ozzie the emu which used to live on the farm liked to chase sheep. The young woman said although she does have other interests, much of her time is spent outside watching all that unfolds. 'In the warmer weather I'm usually out the door and outside and spending time with all the baby animals,' she said. 'In spring it's the craziest, we have baby animals everywhere. 'There was a time where we had baby ducks, baby geese and even baby emus and they were following me everywhere, it was so cute,' Ms Hussein added. Most of the animals on the farm get on well apart from the few that have to be kept separate, and some unlikely friendships have formed between many different species. 'We can't have the dogs with most of the animals, the cats are fine with all the animals except for the rabbits and the mice,' the young woman revealed. This little baby duckling is just one of the small creatures which inhabit the farm . Ms Hussein's ducklings and baby geese often follow her around and like to cuddle up to her . She said while it is her family farm, she is the most obsessed with caring for all the creatures great and small . This is the family's camel Alana . Winter the lamb often features in Vine videos, running across the yard when he is called or chasing ducklings . Here an emu chick snuggles up next to a ginger cat . For Ms Hussein, a life surrounded by a whole lot of different creatures is the only one she knows, and she says it's always filled with surprises. 'From a very young age I was taught how to care for baby animals and how to properly handle them. 'One of the earliest animals i got the chance of hand rearing that I can remember was a baby cockatiel which had been abandoned by her mum, and still have to this day, it's name is Squeaky,' she said. And while much of her day is spent filled with cuddles and funny moments, life on her farm isn't always fun and games. 'I spend quite a bit of time cleaning and feeding my animals, some of which need to be fed multiple times a day,' Ms Hussein revealed. ' 'My parents are a big help and often help me with the animals when needed as well as caring for the bigger animals outside and their own pets.' Ms Hussein also has two Akitas, Kumi and Rambo . Many little bunnies also roam the grounds, like this little guy celebrating Easter . A group of emu chicks pose for the camera, showing off their distinctive markings . Fredde was around the house as a pet kangaroo while the young woman was growing up . Ozzie the emu lived with Ms Hussein for many years before he moved to a wildlife park . This pond yard out the back is where many of the birds like to hang out, and where the turtles live . Some of the 21-year-old's favourite moments growing up include: 'a pet turkey which gave handshakes, a possum that slept in my bed, different species of animals interacting and enjoying each other's company'. For years she simply kept all these memories to herself, but now she has realised there is a whole audience of people who want to share these moments too. One video of Ms Hussein's lamb Winter has almost 40 million loops, and is still climbing more than eight months later. 'I was just so shocked at the attention my Vines attracted, I was only expecting to share my clips with a small audience.' Vine is a video sharing app which allows users to post six second long clips. They can be reposted, commented on and views are counted in 'loops'. When originally posted, the video of Winter bounding down the hallway of the house was shared by Taylor Swift, Ashton Kutcher, Ariana Grande and picked up by Ellen Degeneres and MTV. Winter the lamb runs across the yard to Ms Hussein when he is called . Miniature ponies also make up some of the residents at the farm . This turkey duckling is one of many which fill the fields, especially during spring . The young woman said she can't imagine a 'normal' life without all her crazy pets . 'Famous people were retweeting it and stuff and I didn't know how to react… I was numb,' the animal lover revealed. 'It amazes me how much something so simple as a lamb bouncing down the hall can mean so much to someone else.' Asked if she would live any other way, Ms Hussein said she doesn't believe she could. 'I can't see myself ever living in a "normal" house without pets.' | Shannen Hussein lives on a farm in Rockbank, north-west of Melbourne .

You might think opting for a salad or sandwich for lunch will see you on your way to a healthy lifestyle. But in fact sandwiches and pasta salads can contain more fat, calories and sugar than burgers and pizzas. Some apparently healthy meals are worse for you than demonised junk foods from the likes of McDonald’s, Burger King and Pizza Express, researchers have found. Scroll down for video . Some apparently healthy meals are worse for you than demonised junk foods from the likes of McDonald’s, Burger King and Pizza Express, researchers have found . For example, Asda’s Piri Piri Chicken Pasta Salad contains 46.5g of fat – two thirds of the recommended daily intake for an adult – which is more than the 43.3g found in a Burger King Bacon and Cheese Whopper. Meanwhile a Marks & Spencer Chicken and Smoked Bacon Salad sandwich contains 694 calories and 37.1g of fat – but a Pizza Express Classic Margherita pizza has 683 calories and contains only 22.5g of fat. And a 624-calorie Brie and Bacon Panini from Caffè Nero comes in at more than 100 calories higher than a 518-calorie McDonald’s Quarter Pounder with Cheese. Consumer group Which?, which conducted the research, said it was surprised to find that three of the sandwiches it surveyed contained more than three teaspoons of sugar. These included Pret’s Posh Cheddar and Pickle on Artisan, which contains 17.6g of sugar – equivalent to more than four teaspoons. Which? added it was easy for customers to overeat at lunchtime, with dishes such as Morrisons’ Tomato and Basil Chicken Pasta, which states it contains seven servings, often eaten by one person – meaning they consume 683 calories and 38.6g of fat in one sitting. This is more than Burger King’s Chicken Royale with Cheese, which has 648 calories and 37.2g of fat. Which? said its research proves all food suppliers need to adopt the traffic light labelling system, which flags up levels of calories, fat, sugar and salt, to help consumers cut through the confusion and find healthy lunch options. A 624-calorie Brie and Bacon Panini from Caffè Nero comes in at more than 100 calories higher than a 518-calorie McDonald’s Quarter Pounder with Cheese . The system is voluntary and many stores opt not to use it. A Which? spokesman said: ‘We’ve uncovered sandwiches and salads that contain more calories and fat than a Big Mac. ‘Given our research, it’s perhaps not surprising that two thirds of UK adults and a third of children are classed as overweight or obese. Overconsumption of foods high in calories, sugar and fat is fuelling our obesity crisis.’ | Some apparently healthy meals worse for you than demonised junk foods .

Lesley Conman's daughter Abbie, 12, was sent sexualised messages by an online pervert on Facebook . Two mothers have slammed police for failing to act after their daughters were targeted by an online predator. Both Lesley Conman and Kerry Green's young daughters were sent sexualised messages by an online pervert on Facebook - but police refused to investigate as no offence had been committed. Ms Conman's daughter Abbie, 12, was sent a message by the man after accepting a friend request from someone pretending to be a 17-year-old boy. After the horrified mother saw the provocative messages, she challenged the man herself, pretending to be Abbie. Ms Conman, 34, from Hull, said: 'There were four or five messages that he sent, before he actually blocked me. I think I scared him. 'You can only find my daughter on Facebook if you have a mutual friend and this guy was friends with 100 of her school friends, so she thought he was from school.' After tackling the pervert, Lesley posted the messages on her own account to warn other parents of the dangerous predator. She said: 'I shared it because I would say 90 per cent of my daughter's school were on his profile and he was talking to her friends and his profile had about 300-400 friends and they were all under 15.' In the case of Ms Green's daughter Emily, 13, the sick man threatened to post explicit pictures on her Facebook wall - which all of her friends would have then seen - if she did not play along with his sordid messages. The pictures were not of Emily, but it is thought that he planned to post them online as if they were her. Ms Green, from North Newbald, East Yorkshire, said: 'When I first saw the messages I flipped out, but I didn't to play the role of a paedophile hunter and lead him on because I didn't want him to think that my daughter was interested in him in anyway at all.' Ms Conman challenged the man (pictured left and writing in grey) when she found the messages on Abbie's Facebook (Abbie's messages in blue) After the horrified mother saw the provocative messages, she challenged (in blue) the man (writing in grey) herself, pretending to be Abbie . Both mothers contacted Humberside Police but the force did not take any action on either occasion. Ms Conman was told that no offence had been committed so officers could not do anything about the messages. She said: 'I felt disgusted by it. If nothing is done then surely we are sending a message out to these men that this is acceptable.' Ms Green, who says the police never responded to her complaint, said: 'It was upsetting and annoying. I understand they can't follow up everyone of these case because it takes a lot of time, but if they did chase them up there would be less of them.' Both mothers admitted that they do not like their daughters being on Facebook, but they'd rather allow it than running the risk of the girls setting up a secret account. A Humberside Police spokesman said: 'Unfortunately, there are people out there that do want to engage with people who are younger than themselves. 'Young people can help themselves by not engaging with them. Parents have a role to play in it, children have a role to play in it and we have a role to play in it once a crime has been committed. 'We are aware of Mrs Green's complaint and we have taken it seriously and given her advice as to how to prevent this happening in the future.' | Young girls were sent sexualised Facebook messages but police didn't act .

West of Baghdad, Iraq (CNN)Falih Essawi shouted on the phone as he described his situation. From his point of view, ISIS militants might be just hours away from taking the key Iraqi city of Ramadi. Fierce fighting has engulfed Ramadi, which lies only about 70 miles (113 kilometers) west of Baghdad and is the capital of Anbar province, Iraq's Sunni heartland. Essawi, the deputy head of the Anbar Provincial Council, told CNN from inside the city Wednesday that it's unclear how much longer government troops can hold their front lines against the ISIS offensive. The politician said he was on a front line himself, armed with a machine gun. Security was "collapsing rapidly in the city," and he begged the Iraqi government for reinforcements and the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS for air support. He stressed that urgent support from the military and security forces is needed to save the city. "This is what we warned Baghdad of what's going to happen," Essawi told CNN by phone, referring to the Iraqi government at the capital. "Where is Baghdad? Where is al-Abadi?" His plea for help comes the day after Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi met with U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington to seek more support for the fight against ISIS. "Just Allah knows if we will survive this," Essawi said. According to the Anbar official, at least 10 Iraqi security forces were killed and more than 100 others were wounded in the fighting against ISIS on Wednesday. The extremist group's offensive in Ramadi shows its resilience despite months of U.S.-led airstrikes and its recent defeat by Iraqi forces in the northern city of Tikrit. ISIS fighters have Ramadi under pressure from several angles. Essawi said ISIS militants made significant advances Wednesday in three areas east of Ramadi: Albu Soda, Albu Ghanem and parts of Soufia, which leads to central Ramadi. Later, he said that militants were rolling into the center of Ramadi. Over the weekend, the militants seized control of areas north of Ramadi. Routes south of the city were taken some months ago. That leaves only areas to the west of Ramadi in the hands of government forces, but those positions are under threat, Essawi warned. The recent fighting has driven a steady stream of refugees out of the city. On Wednesday, some residents packed what they could into metal carts as they prepared to flee on foot. People also were fleeing the areas where ISIS was advancing east of Ramadi. At least 150,000 people have already fled since Wednesday morning, causing huge traffic jams on the roads leading outside the city, according to Essawi. A CNN team met with three families that had fled an ISIS assault in the Albu Ghanem area. Those families said Iraqi security and military forces withdrew from Albu Ghanem after a battle with ISIS, which took over the area quickly. One fleeing Albu Ghanem resident, Abu Ahmed, paused to talk to CNN as he and his family walked east toward Baghdad, crossing a bridge over the Euphrates River. He said four ISIS militants had entered his house and set up a sniper position on his roof. Abu Ahmed said he, his wife and four children walked away from the home with his elderly mother while the ISIS fighters were busy setting things up there. He said his family left everything behind. His family was using a cart to carry his mother, who couldn't walk. While talking about the fighters' takeover of his home, his wife started crying and asked God to help the rest of the families who are stuck in Albu Ghanem. Ramadi has seen intense and persistent fighting for months. ISIS took over parts of the city in the first half of last year, placing it at the heart of a deadly tug of war ever since. The U.S. military has carried out multiple airstrikes against ISIS targets near Ramadi in recent weeks. "The coalition has been supporting the fight in Ramadi with airstrikes, and there have been seven airstrikes in Ramadi since Monday," Col. Ed Thomas, spokesman for Joint Chiefs Chairman Col. Martin Dempsey, said on Wednesday. He stressed that Ramadi remains contested. Another U.S. military official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told CNN that the fall of Ramadi is "not imminent." Sizable parts of the city are under ISIS control or influence, but the area has been a target of a months-long offensive, that official said. CNN's Hamdi Alkhshali and Arwa Damon reported from west of Baghdad, and Jethro Mullen wrote from Hong Kong. CNN's Jason Hanna, Jim Sciutto, Jamie Crawford contributed to this report. | A U.S. military official tells CNN the fall of Ramadi is "not imminent"

This is the heart-stopping moment two robbers pointed a gun at a family and their toddler during a corner-shop raid, before throwing sweets at them when they refused to hand over cash. Luke Munro, 19, and Dylon Thompson, 21, burst into the Londis shop in Cleveleys near Blackpool in October last year while the owner, his wife, and their toddler were behind the counter. The pair then pulled out a 'realistic looking' handgun and began waving it in the family's faces, demanding cash from the till, but the brave parents refused to hand it over. Luke Munro, 19, and Dylon Thompson, 21, raided a corner shop in Cleveleys near Blackpool using a 'realistic looking' handgun,pointing it at the owner, his wife, and their toddler as they hid behind the counter . When the mother and father refused to hand over cash, Munro and Thompson threw sweets at them before storming out empty handed . At that point, CCTV footage shows Munro and Thompson began throwing handfuls of sweets at the couple behind the counter, before fleeing empty handed. The duo were tracked down, and at Preston Crown Court on Wednesday Munro was jailed for five years and four months, while Thompson was sentenced to three years and four months. After the sentencing police said the attack was 'extremely distressing' for the family, who had been 'left in fear of their lives' during the raid. Detective Inspector Gareth Willis, from Lancashire Police, said: 'It's just incredibly brave of them not to give them what they wanted. 'The victims have been extremely brave in what must have been a terrifying incident for them both. Munro (left) was jailed for five years at Preston Crown Court for robbery, possessing a firearm and burglary, while Thompson was jailed for three years and four months for robbery and firearms offences . Police said the victims had been left 'extremely distressed' during the raid, and had been 'left in fear of their lives' as the gun was waved in their face . 'The female actually had her baby with her in the store when she was threatened with the weapon, which makes the offenders' actions even more reprehensible.' Detective Constable Paul Morris, from the same force, added: 'This was a terrifying ordeal for the two shop owners and their young child who were left in fear of their lives after being threatened with what they believed to be a real firearm. 'Munro and Thompson caused extreme distress for the victims involved and I hope that the sentences send a warning to criminals that crimes of this nature are treated seriously by both the police and the courts as well as bringing some closure for the victims.' | Luke Munro, 19, and Dylon Thompson, 21, raided Londis near Blackpool .

New York State Senator Jeffrey Klein has apologized after a search for 'hot' pictures of a political strategist was shared with the world on his Twitter account. Klein said that a staffer 'accidentally tweeted a link from her personal phone' with a link to Google Image results for 'Susan Del Percio Hot'. The Democratic state senator, who broke away from his party and caucuses with Republicans, said 'mistakes like this happen' before apologizing to Del Percio, a Republican strategist. New York state senator Jeffrey Klein has apologized to Republican political strategist Susan Del Percio (pictured) after a tweet showed a search for 'hot' pictures of her . The tweet included a series of seemingly random characters followed by a Google search for images of the strategist, who has previously worked with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani . He also said that the incident was being 'taken seriously'. Del Percio, a member of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's administration who recently quit working with Governor Andrew Cuomo, said that the post was a 'silly mistake'. She said that members of Klein's office do not need to reach out and apologize to her, according to the New York Daily News. The tweet, which featured a series of random characters before the link, was deleted quickly after being posted. Klein, (foreground) a Democrat who caucuses with the New York Republicans, said that the tweets was sent by a recently hired female communications staffer (file photo) Klein, said that the communications staffer responsible for the post was a recent hire and female, according to Business Insider. It is unclear how the message and link were accidentally sent. The first three automatic Google results after typing in 'Susan Del Percio' are 'education', 'married' and 'bio'. | Jeffrey Klein apologizes for tweet with search for Susan Del Percio .

As Jeremy Clarkson continues to battle to save his career after being sacked form Top Gear, his estranged wife has been enjoying a family break in the Caribbean. Frances Clarkson showed off her tanned figure in a white bikini as she relaxed on a beach in Barbados. The 53 year old revealed the results of a week sunbathing over Easter in the skimpy swimsuit, which was covered in a black palm tree print. Scroll down for video . Frances Clarkson showed of her holiday tan in a white bikini during a dip in the sea on her Barbados holiday today . Frances appeared to be deep in thought as she paddled around in the clear blue waters, where she had been jet skiing two days beforehand. She accessorised with a Help For Heroes wristband and swept her sun-bleached hair up into a butterfly clip. Frances has previously holidayed in the area with the 54-year-old broadcaster - they headed to the island together after he was first pictured with his reported girlfriend Phillipa Sage. But Frances and Jeremy, who have two daughters and a son, are said to have lived apart for years. The 53 year old appeared deep in conversation as she headed across the beach to take a dip . Frances accessorised her look with a Help For Heroes wristband . The BBC announced last month they were dropping Clarkson from the hit motoring show after a 'fracas' involving a Top Gear producer. Clarkson left Oisin Tymon needing hospital treatment after punching him at a hotel in Hawes, North Yorkshire, after staff wouldn't serve him a hot meal following a day of filming. He has repeatedly apologised to Mr Tymon both in public and privately and it was announced today that he will not face any criminal charges for the attack. Holiday: Frances Clarkson, 53, spent the Easter Bank Holiday weekend with family and friends in Barbados . Rushing to his side to comfort him throughout the ordeal has been events organiser Phillipa Sage, 45, who became a feature in his life in 2010 when he was still in a relationship with Frances. It was claimed last year that his marriage had been under strain after reports he had engaged in extra-martial affairs. Last summer he told the MailOnline's Piers Morgan he was 'going through a difficult divorce'. In April 2011 Clarkson was accused of having an affair with Miss Sage while touring Australia, South Africa and Norway with his Top Gear co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May. Sunshine: Frances was spotted in a black bikini as she drove a jet ski and caught some rays in the sun . Relax: The 53-year-old has previously holidayed on the island with her estranged husband Jeremy Clarkson . He was alleged to have spent several nights with Miss Sage and kissed her on the lips in full view of observers on one occasion. Clarkson shrugged off the claims at the time, saying that he and Miss Sage had been simply 'colleagues fooling around'. But shortly afterwards it was revealed that he was spending time during the week living in a bachelor pad in London. He denied that he had moved out of the family home in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, saying he used the London flat when he was editing Top Gear. Clarkson was photographed kissing Miss Sage while on holiday with her in Greece in 2013, and they also visited Australia again. In October 2011 Clarkson lifted a High Court gagging order preventing his first wife, Alex Hall, from claiming that he had had an affair with her after he married Frances. Split: Frances has two daughters and a son with the 54-year-old broadcaster, but the pair are said to have been living apart for years . Distant: The BBC announced last month they were dropping her estranged husband from the hit motoring show after a 'fracas' involving a Top Gear producer . Break: Frances walks along the beach with an unidentified man during the Easter holiday to the Caribbean . Mrs Hall, who married him in 1989 but separated from him after less than two years, alleged that they rekindled their relationship from 1999 onwards – something he denied. Clarkson married Frances in 1993 and she encouraged him to cultivate a more aggressive on-screen persona to make Top Gear more controversial, say friends. In recent years he has been caught up in other controversies, including being accused of racism after he called an Asian man a 'slope' when he joked about the construction of a bridge in Thailand during an episode of Top Gear. Estranged: Jeremy and Frances Clarkson married in 1993 but the pair have not lived together for years. Friends claim that it was Frances who pushed him to cultivate a more aggressive on-screen persona . In April 2011 Clarkson was accused of having an affair with Phillipa Sage (pictured kissing) while touring Australia, South Africa and Norway with his Top Gear co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May . There was outcry when Clarkson used the word, a derogatory term for people of Asian descent, during the show's two-part Burma special, screened in March last year. In 2013 he came under fire after he allegedly used the n-word in leaked footage while reciting the rhyme 'eeny, meeny, miny, mo' before apparently muttering 'catch a n***** by his toe'. But he escaped disciplinary action by the BBC with the Complaints and Appeals Board agreeing that the 'incident did not engage editorial standards as the material had not been broadcast'. | Frances Clarkson, 53, is holidaying in Barbados with family and friends .

(CNN)Please, not even a demonstration. Freddie Gray's family had asked there be quiet on Baltimore's streets the day they laid him to rest. And above all, no violence. Raging hordes turned a deaf ear to that on Monday. But a handful of people repeated the family's message. They became criers in the desert against countless young people flinging rocks at police, breaking windows, looting and setting fires. The peacemakers -- clergy, Gray's family and brave residents -- placed themselves in the rioters' way. Their message was the same. "I want them all to go back home," said Rev. Jamal Bryant. "It's disrespect to the family. The family was very clear -- we've been saying it all along -- today there was absolutely no protest, no demonstration," he said. But the messengers were a finger in a dam that quickly crumbled, as rowdy groups swelled into a full urban riot. It overshadowed the message peaceful protesters delivered on prior days -- justice for Gray. The 25-year-old African-American man died from spinal injuries after being arrested earlier this month. The early fits of violence came in the afternoon, about the time mourners left Gray's memorial services blocks away, Rev. Bryant said. They bumped right into it. "For us to come out of the burial and walk into this is absolutely inexcusable," he said. He did not want to see it spread to downtown Baltimore, where some rioters said it would, and organized people to stand in the way. "We have a line of gentlemen from the Nation of Islam to build a human wall, as well as men from the Christian church making that human wall," he said. But as crowds turned into multitudes, the intervention became a drop in the bucket by compare, and police lines were also no match. As officers in riot gear receded, flames engulfed cars and stores and roared out of apartment buildings into the night sky. A senior living facility under construction by a Baptist church burned to the ground. The blazes stretched the fire departments' resources, as at least 30 trucks deployed. Looters streamed into a CVS, bodegas and liquor stores and walked out with what they could carry. A young man in a blue sweatshirt tried to talk people down by himself. He walked up to CNN correspondent Miguel Martinez, as a store nearby was being looted. It later went up in flames. The man, who didn't say his name, was disgusted at what was happening in his neighborhood and disappointed in the police response to rioting. There was a line of police down the street, not far away. "They could have moved down here to stop it," he told Martinez. The Gray family's lawyers, again, put the family's wish out to the public that there be no protests that day, let alone violence. It's marring the cause and hope for change that may have come out of the investigation into Freddie Gray's death, said family attorney Mary Koch. "That's just disintegrated into just looking at Baltimore city and thinking that the city is the city of violence," she said. Against all odds, a handful of individuals kept trying to stop it. A tall, adult man walked up to a young man who was confronting riot police. He slung an arm over his shoulder, turned him back around in the other direction and marched him away from police lines. But as they strolled past a crowd, a young man behind them hurled a stone at police, putting his whole body into the throw. At least one young man paid the price for his participation, when his mother turned up to spank him home. Before running cameras, she slapped him in the head again and again, driving him away from the crowd, as she cursed. Police Commissioner Anthony Batts later thanked her. "I wish I had more parents that took charge of their kids out there tonight," he said. After night fell, giving way to a 10 p.m. curfew for juveniles, Robert Valentine stood alone with his back to a line of police in riot gear. He shooed away young people tempted to approach them. "Go! Step your --ss away!" "I'm just a soldier," said Valentine. He told CNN's Joe Johns that he was a veteran of the Vietnam War. Young people had no business on the streets, he said. "They need to be in their home units studying and doing something with their lives." Even Baltimore members of the Crips and Bloods, two street gangs renowned for drug dealing and extensive violent crime -- and for killing each other -- came together with others who condemned the rage that swept through their neighborhoods. "The guys who pulled me aside are self-identifying as Crips and say they don't approve of whats happening. 'This is our community,'" wrote Baltimore Sun reporter Justin Fenton on his confirmed Twitter account. Gangs members joined community leaders and Gray's family for a press conference Monday night on the stage at New Shiloh Baptist Church, which had held Gray's funeral. An announcer thanked them for coming to the church. The gangs have signed a peace deal and are uniting to push against police lines in protests, according to a report by the Daily Beast. Rev. Bryant also mentioned their peace treaty. But police say the gangs' purpose goes much further -- that they and another gang called the Black Guerilla Family plan to 'take out' law enforcement officers, police said. "This is a credible threat." The gangs are consistently pursued by the FBI. At the end of the day, Gray's family had the last word on the violence at the press conference. It wasn't good. "To see that it turned into all this violence and destruction, I am appalled," said Richard Shipley, Gray's stepfather. "I want y'all to get justice for my son, but don't do it like this here," said Gray's mother Gloria Darden, who wore a T-shirt with her son's photo. "I don't think that's for Freddie," his twin sister Fredericka Gray said. "I think the violence is wrong." After their comments, Gray family lawyer William H. Murphy took the microphone. Violence is not the path to change, he said. Then he got back to the message than had been bitterly marred by the rioting. Murphy asked for a show of hands in the church audience of people who had experienced police brutality or personally knew someone who did. All but a few hands went up. | Gray's family asked there be no protests; they condemned violence .

Since her diagnosis, she has taken part in charity runs, gone on holidays and made countless invaluable memories with her family. All the while, she has been well supported by her loved ones. However, Mrs Martin's health declined this winter after she underwent a second round of radiation treatment, prompting her relatives to arrange for her to receive hospice care at her home. Soon, she no longer talked. But during a recent visit, her sister, Amy Martin came up with a new way to try to get her sibling to smile, nod, or say something - offer her the opportunity to go to Florida. 'If you say 'Florida,' I'll get dad to take us,' Amy Martin promised her sister. But she added: 'But you've got to tell me. I've got to know if you really want to go.' Although Mrs Martin, a former physical therapy assistant at Lancaster General Hospital, said nothing for the rest of the day, the next morning she shocked her relatives while she was being dressed. In good spirits: Since her diagnosis, Mrs Martin (right) has taken part in charity runs, gone on holidays and made countless invaluable memories with her family. All the while, she has been supported by her loved ones . Run: The Pennsylvania mother (pictured doing a 5,000-kilometer run with two female friends and her two daughters) saw her health decline this winter after she underwent a second round of radiation treatment . Beautiful: Her family have rented an RV for the 1,000-mile, 18-hour trip to Sarasota, where Mrs Martin, who uses a wheelchair to get around, will be able to relax on her favorite beach: Siesta Key Beach (pictured) As her husband and her mother, Barbara, were tending to her, she suddenly said: 'Florida'. 'We were like, "Oh, no! We have to take her!",' Amy Martin recalled after being told the incredible news. She added: 'There's nothing like sunshine and the beach to make you feel better.' And Mrs Martin's father, Earl, agreed: 'I guess we're going'. Mrs Martin has not spoken again since. Her family have rented an RV for the 1,000-mile, 18-hour trip to Sarasota, where Mrs Martin, who uses a wheelchair to get around, will be able to relax on her favorite beach: Siesta Key Beach . The vehicle will allow her to lie back and sleep comfortable during the lengthy journey, which has been partly funded by kind-hearted donors within her community in Warwick Township. Sisters: Amy Martin (left), was the one who inspired her sister (right) to speak after telling her: 'If you say 'Florida,' I'll get dad to take us.' She added: 'But you've got to tell me. I've got to know if you really want to go' In better health: Unfortunately, Mrs Martin's children are in school, so are not making the trip to the coastal city. Above, Mrs Martin is pictured with her husband and children in October 2012, two years after her diagnosis . Unfortunately, Mrs Martin's children are in school, so are not making the trip to the coastal city in Sarasota County, where her parents have a vacation house, according to Lancaster Online. Instead, she is traveling with Amy Martin, brother-in-law, John Martin, and family friend, Trina Martin, all of whom hope the trip will give Mrs Martin a 'change of scenery' and an amazing memory. And although Mrs Martin, who used to teach Sunday school at Hammer Creek Mennonite Church, north of Lititz, was told this winter by doctors that she doesn't have long to live, her sister is hopeful. They might have said that, 'but here we are in April,' Amy Martin said. Couple: Mrs Martin, pictured with her husband in 2013, has been told by doctors she doesn't have long to live . | Sara Martin, from Lititz, Pa., hadn't spoken for weeks after health declined .
But one day recently, the dying mother-of-three uttered the word: 'Florida'
Now, devoted family is driving her there for what will likely be final holiday .
They are leaving for the city of Sarasota in south-west Florida in RV today .
Mrs Martin, 37, was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer five years ago .
She is married and has three children; Carlie, 12, Gretchen, 11, Connor, 9 .
She has not spoken again and has been told she doesn't have long to live . | 0989c31c26d1e9d40a69ebdd71e5cc0b2d3d1c72 | [

Perched on a hotel sofa barely inches from Glynis Barber, I am trying, as covertly as possible, to scrutinise her rather lovely face. All peachy skin and thick, glossy locks, she also looks trim and toned in skinny jeans. It’s difficult to believe that in the next few months, the actress – remembered by many as the glacially beautiful half of ITV’s 1980s detective duo Dempsey And Makepeace – will be collecting her bus pass. From where I’m sitting, she looks barely a day over 40. It is impossible, frankly, not to wonder whether Mother Nature has been given a, shall we say, little helping hand. There is no ‘pillow face’ here or unnaturally shaped eyebrows (a telltale sign). So has she and would she? Scroll down for video . Then and now: Tearing up the rulebook: Glynis Barber, pictured left in 1984, and right, the actress today . Glynis Barber, pictured at The Olivier Awards at The Royal Opera House in London last week . It’s a question that Glynis answers diplomatically. ‘I am a bit surgery-phobic – I am a total coward,’ she insists. ‘I don’t judge anyone for doing it – people have to do what’s right for them. But for me a healthy lifestyle is the key.’ It’s hard to argue with that sentiment. And this, indeed, is why we are meeting. For the past two years, under the tutelage of nutritional therapist Fleur Borrelli, Glynis has changed what and how she eats – and in the process, she says, transformed her health and her figure. She tore up her rulebook too: out went breakfast – instead she has just two large meals a day. Out, too, went wholegrains and she even stopped sipping water in the day, something she once swore by to stay hydrated and stave off hunger. So convinced is she that what Fleur taught her is the key to long-lasting health and wellbeing that she has co-written a book with her, The In-Sync Diet, in which she shares their discoveries, backed up, she says, by credible new research. ‘I had no idea that when I met Fleur I would drop a stone in weight and a dress size, gain lean muscle, and have vastly improved energy levels, all while turning upside down the things I previously believed in,’ Glynis says. ‘But that’s what has happened and it’s why I wanted to share it with a wider audience.’ The actress (pictured with co-star Michael Brandon) is remembered by many as the glacially beautiful half of ITV’s 1980s detective duo Dempsey And Makepeace . Ironically, Glynis once thought herself the last person to need a lifestyle reboot. Always fit, she went organic in her late 20s at a time when it was barely heard of. ‘This was the 1980s so everyone thought I was mad, although it made complete sense to me,’ she recalls. ‘My view was it was silly to put chemicals in your body that don’t need to be there, but that was forward-thinking at the time. It was me, Prince Charles and some hippies. But I stuck to it.’ Glynis, married to her Dempsey And Makepeace co-star Michael Brandon, has enjoyed a busy career in theatre and TV, but two years ago started to develop unexplained joint pain and was advised by her osteopath to see Fleur. ‘I was actually pretty resistant at first as I thought the one thing I know is how to eat properly,’ she explains. But Fleur thought differently. ‘One by one she busted a lot of the myths that were a cornerstone of my diet.’ First to face scrutiny was Glynis’s fondness for wholegrains. ‘I was surprised as I knew about processed grains but I thought wholewheat was fine, until Fleur explained that it creates inflammation in the gut. She told me to cut them out.’ Aging well: Glynis, pictured left in her 30s, will be celebrate turning 60 soon, but she looks barely a day over 40 . It meant a gluten-free diet – not easy for a self-confessed ‘breadaholic’. Pasta was also jettisoned, replaced by protein and vegetables. ‘At first I thought, “I can’t do this,” ’ she explains. ‘But now I don’t miss them at all. I eat salmon, eggs, nuts, organic turkey and salads.’ And it was not just what she ate but when that Fleur also changed. Glynis ate little and often in the belief it kept her blood sugar levels regulated. But Fleur told her that cutting out breakfast altogether and eating two large meals a day was a better way of regulating her metabolism. This is backed up by new research into intermittent fasting, which shows that better weight control can be achieved with long periods without eating – popularised by the 5:2 diets, in which you consume very few calories for two days of the week and eat a normal, balanced diet the rest of the time. Some studies have found the same benefits – which also include lower cholesterol and blood pressure – might be gained by daily ‘fasts’ achieved by eating dinner then nothing else until lunch the next day. Then came what Glynis drank. ‘I was one of those people who walked around clutching a water bottle and sipping at it throughout the day,’ she says. ‘But new research shows that drinking little and often actually doesn’t help the cells replenish properly. It’s far better to drink a large glass of water when you’re thirsty.’ Glynis tore up her rulebook too: out went breakfast and she even stopped sipping water in the day, something she once swore by to stay hydrated and stave off hunger . Initially cynical, Glynis says she was amazed by how easy it was to adapt. ‘What I was trying to overturn were the habits of a lifetime and I thought it would be incredibly hard, but it honestly took a matter of weeks. It’s not set in stone either. If I want the odd blowout, or I really fancy breakfast, then I have it.’ Aided by her regular cardio and hot yoga sessions, she believes she is in better shape than she was 20 years ago. ‘I have always been fit but I used to get incredibly tired. Now I am bursting with energy.’ And, Glynis insists, she is less likely to scrutinise herself. ‘I actually feel less vain now than I did in my youth. I’m very comfortable in my skin and I’m really not hung up on age at all. You can’t do anything about your chronological age, but how you age is up to you.’ The In-Sync Diet, by Glynis Barber and Fleur Borrelli, is published by Autharium on Friday. The actress follows a gluten-free diet, with food like pasta jettisoned, replaced by protein and vegetables . Why hydration is key . By Barney Calman, Health Editor . We should all drink at least two litres of water a day – about eight glasses. If we do, we’ll be slimmer, have better skin, fewer health problems and the like. Right? Well, no, actually. The whole two-litres-a-day idea is based on no real scientific evidence. In fact, one of the only studies to suggest its benefits was sponsored by, you’ve guessed it, a mineral water firm. Dehydration can be fatal, and in the case of the elderly, sick children or those with other health problems, a watchful eye should be kept on water intake. But in normal, healthy adults, the body is well adapted to make sure this doesn’t happen. If you drink too little, you get thirsty, and go to the loo less. If you drink a lot, you generally pee it all out. And in fact, the best way to make sure is to check the colour of your urine. Ideally, it should be a shade of pale straw and no darker. | Glynis Barber is known as beautiful half of ITV’s 1980s detective duo .

(CNN)Looks like another really, really, ridiculously good-looking person is joining the cast of "Zoolander 2." Actress Penelope Cruz will appear in the upcoming sequel to the popular 2001 film, Ben Stiller announced Friday. Stiller, who plays the title role of male model Derek Zoolander, dropped the news by sharing a photo of "Little Penny" Cruz as a child and saying he was "excited" to welcome her to the cast. Stiller and Owen Wilson, who plays so-hot-right-now model "Hansel" made a surprise appearance at Paris Fashion Week to promote the film. It is scheduled for release in February 2016. Stiller has been sharing photos on social media from the film's production in Italy, dropping hints to the plot. For example, it looks like Zoolander has a son in the sequel! Stiller, a producer on the film, is also slated to produce the sequel to "Dodgeball," another fan favorite from his resume. | Ben Stiller announces that Penelope Cruz will join cast of "Zoolander 2"

Nestled between a 65ft high snow cavern, the winding track of Murodo looks like track that could be on Mario Kart. However this steep-walled phenomena is located in Japan and attracts visits from thousands of tourists annually - with the number predicted to rise this year. The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route opened to the public on today and allows tourists to view the spectacular snow-walled passageway along the 1000ft section. Walled wonder! The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route opened for visitors today, with tourists marvelling at the 65ft high walls . The Murodo-daira area of Tateyama unsurprisingly experiences one of the heaviest snowfalls in the world, with the 65ft walls being created every year, and then melting by July. The impressive route opened in 1971 and usually draws about a million visitors every year although numbers have failed to reach that figure in the last few years. An estimated 910,000 flock to the frozen passage last year. It is hoped the March 14 opening of the sightseeing route operator Hokuriku Shinkansen Line, which connects Toyama Station with Tokyo Station, will help to bump the numbers back up to the million mark. The snowy phenomenon can be seen on the winding track of Murodo in Japan from April under it melts in the summer . The whole 37km route will be open until November but tourists can walk the walled wonder until it starts to melt in summer. Sights along the way include scenic landmarks such as Kurobe Dam, hot springs and the Hida Mountains. One of the most popular activities is to ascend the 9891ft high summit of Mount Tateyama, one of Japan's highest peaks. Today tourists followed to photograph the walls. Over a million people visit the walls every year, although this dropped to 910,000 last year . It is hoped that numbers can rise again to reach one million with the help of the sightseeing route operator Hokuriku Shinkansen Line opening last month . The sun shone as coaches of tourists flocked today for the opening of the short section .

Gary Ballance’s hundred looks to have closed the door on an England return for Kevin Pietersen in the near future. That is the view of former captain Andrew Flintoff — with Ballance, Ian Bell and Joe Root surely all now secure in the middle order for the summer. Former Ashes hero Flintoff believes Pietersen is now ‘running out of time’ to resurrect his Test career. He will be 35 on June 27, before the home Ashes series starts. Gary Ballance produced an outstanding display with the bat against West Indies on Thursday . Ballance, Ian Bell and Joe Root's form my have shut the door on a Test return for Kevin Piertersen (above) Flintoff said: ‘He’s a fantastic player, but nobody just walks into any team — especially the England team. ‘Which of the batsmen do you say “you’re not playing” for Kevin to come in? I can’t imagine it’s going to be in the near future.’ Flintoff did give his full backing to struggling captain Alastair Cook, who has had a double failure with the bat in Antigua. ‘He’s one of the all-time England greats,’ said Flintoff. ‘And you get the sense everyone within the set-up wants him as captain. He’s a popular lad.’ Andrew Flintoff (left) believes Pietersen is now ‘running out of time’ to resurrect his Test career . | Gary Ballance, Ian Bell and Joe Root are forming a strong middle order .

Gary Locke will be confirmed as Kilmarnock’s permanent manager on Friday - exactly eight weeks after he was asked to take charge until the end of the season. An announcement will be made by the Rugby Park club on Friday morning, with the former Hearts boss being given a three-year deal. And on Thursday the 39-year-old paid tribute to the players whose efforts have helped him win favour with new chairman Jim Mann since he replaced Allan Johnston on a caretaker basis in February. Kilmarnock will confirm Gary Locke as the club's new permanent manager on Friday . ‘I’d be over the moon to get it as it’s something I’ve worked hard towards,’ said Locke while negotiations were being finalised at the Ayrshire club. ‘I had a taste of it (management) at Hearts and really enjoyed it. I’m fortunate I was put into this position at a great club. It’s a fantastic opportunity. ‘But I’ve said all along, it’s not about me. It’s about players. If they perform, you get a better reputation as a manager and that has been the case here with a great response from them. ‘That’s how football works. If they play well, your stock rises. Equally, if they don’t play well, it’s the manager who gets the stick. ‘I’ve got broad shoulders and I know what to expect but I can’t praise the players highly enough. They have worked so hard and they have taken on board everything I have tried to tell them.’ Ex-Killie and Hearts player Locke, who was crestfallen not to be retained by the Tynecastle club as head coach after they were relegated last season, added: ‘(Coaches) Alan Robertson and Billy Thomson have done a fantastic job in helping me, too. ‘You can’t do all of these things by yourself and backroom staff can be as important as the players. I can’t thank all of these people enough.’ Locke, who returned to Rugby Park last summer, had been working as No 2 under Johnston when the manager announced in February that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, indicating that the £150,000 sale of teenage forward Robbie Muirhead to Dundee United had been a factor in his decision. After Johnston was immediately relieved of his duties by the club hierarchy, assistant Locke was put in charge and was initially regarded as a stop-gap appointment. But he quickly won over the players and a team that had previously been struggling in the league went unbeaten in their first six games under his stewardship. They only suffered their first reverse under Locke when Ross County beat them 2-1 in Dingwall two weeks ago. Kilmarnock went unbeaten during Locke's first six games in charge of the club . He has impressed Mann not only with results but with the way he has conducted himself during his two months at the helm. Kilmarnock are currently eighth in the Premiership and still remain in the hunt for a top-six place. It was expected that Locke would have been appointed permanently before now, but he dismissed reports that talks had stalled due to a clause that would see him sacked if the club failed to achieve a top-six finish this season. ‘When you are dealing with contracts, they take a bit of time and I certainly don’t foresee any problems,’ he said. ‘There hasn’t really been a hold-up. As any player or manager will tell you, when it comes to the terms of a contract, it doesn’t just happen overnight. There are a lot of things to discuss and I have done that. ‘I will keep all that private because that is the way it should be and the club have dealt with it brilliantly. ‘I’ve no complaints there, so I hope it will be sorted before Saturday and I can concentrate on our home game against Motherwell. ‘Our new board of directors have been fantastic. I’ve been really impressed with the way that they have handled everything. The club itself is trying to be as positive as possible. ‘There are a lot of plans in place to make the club even better than it is right now, so there are loads of positives and I would like to be part of that.’ Having resolved his own situation, Locke will next week turn his attention to the futures of nine first-team players at Kilmarnock — Manuel Pascali, Alexei Eremenko, Craig Slater, Craig Samson, Sammy Clingan, Greg Kiltie, Conor Brennan, Chris Chantler and Mark O’Hara — who will become free agents this summer. ‘I’ve said for a number of weeks now that once my own position was sorted out, there are a few players out of contract and they will want to know what their futures are,’ he said. ‘So it will be great to get moving on all of that and prepare for next season. ‘You can’t do that until you are the main man.’ | Gary Locke will be confirmed as Kilmarnock boss on Friday .

Chelsea are the worst behaved team in the Premier League when it comes to respecting referees, according to official figures. The data, compiled by Football Association Fair Play delegates who attend every top-flight match and assess team behaviour towards match officials, show Jose Mourinho's team are the most likely to protest decisions. They have faced criticism for surrounding referees this season, while Mourinho's back room staff are rated second-worst for their behaviour on the touchline. Chelsea players protest a decision made by referee Roger East during a home match with Newcastle United . Chelsea are the worst behaved team in the Premier League when it comes to respecting referees . Nemanja Matic is held back by team-mates Kurt Zouma and John Terry after a red card against Burnley . The table is compiled by Football Association delegates who attend each match and give ratings out of seven . Jose Mourinho and his back room staff ranked second-worst in the respect assessment . Referee Phil Dowd is surrounded by Chelsea players during their match with Tottenham . The Fair Play figures, reported by the Daily Telegraph, show that Liverpool show the greatest respect towards officials, followed by Burnley and West Brom. Sunderland, Arsenal and Stoke City rank poorly in the assessment, which involve delegates rating each team out of seven for their conduct towards referees and their assistants. Premier League guidelines on the practice state: 'A positive attitude, including the acceptance of doubtful decision without protest, will be rewarded with high marks. Chelsea captain John Terry remonstrates with referee Jon Moss during a match with Everton . Chelsea assistant manager Rui Faria has been criticised for his behaviour on the touchline this season . Liverpool shows the greatest respect towards match officials, according to the figures . Liverpool players, including Philippe Coutinho, Joe Allen, Mario Balotelli and Steven Gerrard speak to referee Andre Marriner during their match with Newcastle United at St James' Park last November . Manchester United players argue with referee Lee Mason - they came in the middle of the Respect Table . 'Normal behaviour without any particular positive attitudes or gestures towards match officials is likely to receive a score of six rather than seven.' Managers and their back room staff are assessed on how they react to decisions and whether they intervene to calm down angry players. The overall Fair Play League is currently headed by West Ham. The Football Association sends delegates to every Premier League fixture and they awards points based on six different categories: red and yellow cards awarded, positive play, respect towards opponents, respect towards the referee, behaviour of the team officials and behaviour of the public. It works as follows: . RED AND YELLOW CARDS . Starting on a maximum possible score of 10, teams are deducated one point for a yellow card and three points for a red card. There is no minimum score. POSITIVE PLAY . A maximum score of 10 is awarded for attractive, attacking football with intent to score more goals, even when in a winning position. Points are taken off for defensive tactics, time-wasting and diving. RESPECT TOWARDS OPPONENTS . Teams are given a rating out of seven for their treatment of the other team during the match. This includes adhering to the rules of the game and abiding by the spirit of Fair Play. RESPECT TOWARDS THE REFEREE . Another mark out of seven is awarded for behaviour towards the officials - including assistants. The guidelines state: 'A positive attitude, including the acceptance of doubtful decisions without protest, will be rewarded with high marks. Normal behaviour without any particular positive attitudes or gestures towards match officials is likely to receive a score of 6 rather than 7.' BEHAVIOUR OF THE TEAM OFFICIALS . A score out of six is given for the behaviour of team officials, including coaches, towards the referee. The Premier League say: 'Positive and negative aspects of the team officials’ conduct will be assessed – such as whether they calm down or provoke angry players or fans and how they accept the decisions of the referee. Co-operation with the media will also be taken into account.' BEHAVIOUR OF THE PUBLIC . All teams begin with a score of five points and a maximum of 10 can be awarded if the crowd gets behind the team in an 'acceptable form.' Deductions are made for foul and abusive language, abuse of the officials and aggressive and threatening conduct towards opposing fans. | Official figures show Chelsea show the least respect to match officials .
Team behaviour is ranked out of seven by FA delegates at each match .
Liverpool were shown to have the greatest respect towards referees .

The parents of a student who vanished in mysterious circumstances after leaving a nightclub made a desperate appeal for information last night. Karen Buckley, 24, disappeared from the Glasgow club in the early hours of Sunday morning without collecting her coat after telling friends she was going to the loo. CCTV cameras filmed her talking to a man outside the club before getting into his car and travelling to his flat in nearby Kelvindale . But fears over the Irish student’s safety were heightened yesterday after police revealed they had tracked down the man and he is not being treated as a suspect. Scroll down for video . Karen Buckley, 24, (left) pictured with friends on the night she went missing after leaving a Glasgow nightclub . Karen Buckley, a student at Glasgow Caledonia University, has been missing since Sunday after going out with friends . Miss Buckley, who is brunette and 5ft 2in, was wearing a black jumpsuit and red heels when she was last seen leaving the man’s flat in Kelvindale at around 4am. A handbag thought to belong to her was found in a park near the man’s home yesterday, causing police to say they are ‘gravely concerned’ about her safety. The family of Miss Buckley, who is from Cork in the Republic of Ireland, have flown to Scotland to help with the search for the Glasgow Caldeonian University student, who studies occupational therapy. Her mother Marion told a press conference in Glasgow: 'We just want Karen home safely, we are desperate. She is our only daughter, we love her dearly. Miss Buckley, who is originally from Cork in Ireland was last seen when she left the flat of a man she had met at around 4am on Sunday morning and was planning to walk home to her flat in Hill Street in the Garnethill area . Miss Buckley's parents Marian and John have travelled to Glasgow from Cork to help in the search for their daughter . 'If anybody has any information please come forward, we would dearly appreciate it.' Her father John Buckley, 62, added: 'We are extremely concerned for her. We are desperate to get her back and safe with her family - she is our only daughter, we love her dearly and just want her to come home safe and sound. 'She always keeps in contact with her family and friends to let them know where she is and what she is up to. 'To not return to her flat or be in contact with her pals - not responding to texts and calls to her mobile is very, very worrying as it is so out of character.' Miss Buckley arrived at the Sanctuary club with friends at around 11.45pm on Saturday and at around 1am she told them she was going to the toilet. She failed to return and did not take her jacket. She was then seen outside on CCTV talking to a man and then walking west along Dumbarton Road towards Church Street. Friends then raised the alarm on Sunday, saying it was 'very out of character' for her not to return home. Officers have traced the man Ms Buckley was seen speaking to outside the nightclub, and he is 'helping police with inquiries.' A map showing the last known movements of Miss Buckley around Glasgow on the night that she went missing . A handbag which police believe belongs to Miss Buckley was found in Dawsholm Park, near Dorchester Avenue, early this afternoon. There has been no activity on her social media accounts in the last couple of days and her mobile phone is believed to be out of battery. Detective Superintendent Jim Kerr, from Police Scotland's major investigations teams, stressed that the male was 'not a suspect.' He told the press conference: We've traced the man she was with in Dorchester Avenue. He believes he was intimate with her at his flat consensually in the early hours of Sunday. 'From what we can see, she does not appear to be under duress, there's no signs of a struggle or reluctance on her part to leave the club. 'However, that does not mean that something untoward has happened to her at a later stage. 'There was talk of another man she had been seen with. We've also traced him, we've spoken to him.' Police comb through trees in Kelvingrove Park below the tower of Glasgow University in the search for Miss Buckley . Police say there has been no activity on Miss Buckley's social media accounts and say that they have recovered her handbag . Miss Buckley, who has three older brothers, is described as white and around five to five foot two inches tall with brown eyes and dark hair which had long black curly extensions in it. When last seen, she was wearing a black jumpsuit with red high-heeled shoes and was carrying a black handbag. She also speaks with an Irish accent. Miss Buckley lives with three other student friends and earlier on Saturday evening had drinks with them in their flat before going to the night club, although her friends told police she was not drunk. Mr Kerr appealed for people to come forward with any information about the missing woman's whereabouts, saying while it 'may seem insignificant to them, however to us it may be the piece of information that leads us to finding her.'

Miss Buckley was last seen leaving the flat of a man in Dorchester Avenue, pictured in the Kelvindale area of Glasgow . Her handbag was found at Dawsholm Park, near Dorchester Avenue, by a member of the public today . He said the public response so far had been 'encouraging', adding: 'People really do want to help. 'However, at this time we need the information about her whereabouts and her movements after leaving the club.' DS Kerr also appealed for information on a grey car that had been seen parked on remote roads between Milngavie and Drymen on Monday. He added: 'From our inquiries we are also keen to trace a grey car which was seen on the country roads between Milngavie and Drymen, between 11am and 3pm on Monday. 'The activity of this grey car on the Monday is something that we're a wee bit concerned about. This car has been seen at various locations on these roads and I want to know why.' 'We are gravely concerned that Karen has come to some harm, whether that is down to foul play, criminality or she has taken unwell or had an accident is obviously still to be established.' Officers gathered outside Dawsholm Park in Glasgow before they began combing the area in their search . Police are continuing their search for the missing occupational therapy student in Glasgow today . Her parents say they are 'deeply concerned' and want their only daughter to return home safely as searches continue . Police also appealed for information on a grey car that had been seen parked on remote roads between Milngavie and Drymen on Monday .

A rookie playing for the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field for the first time won't remember his home ballpark debut because of the single he hit or the run he scored. Addison Russell, 21, may recall his first game at Wrigley Field with a sense of horror because he let his bat slip through his fingers in the seventh while he was trying to catch up to a fastball. The bat went flying and struck a fan sitting several rows behind the Cubs' on-deck circle in the face. Scroll down for video... Addison Russell was batting for the Chicago Cubs in the seventh inning during his first game at Wrigley Field . Russell, a rookie, swung at a first-pitch fastball and accidentally let the bat slip out of his fingers . The bat went flying and it ended up striking a fan who was sitting several rows behind the Cubs' on-deck circle . Cubs officials rushed to assist the spectator and towels from the home team's dugout were brought to the injured fan. Russell, who was ranked the No. 5 prospect in baseball earlier this month, said the bat 'just slipped', according to MLB. He said: 'I saw it connect with his face. 'I saw the dude's glasses fly, and it just wasn't pretty. I feel really bad. 'Words can't describe how bad I feel.' The rookie, 21, went 1-for-3 on Monday night and is batting .160 in six big league games for the Cubs . Russell, who was ranked the No. 5 prospect in baseball earlier in April, said the bat 'just slipped' from his hand . The fan suffered 'wounds' but was conscious and communicative after being hit, the Chicago Tribune reported. The Cubs said the patient was transported to first aid, then transferred to an ambulance and taken to a nearby hospital. The club thanked everyone who shared their concern while updating the patient's status. If the fan feels comfortable around bats again after he's out of the hospital, Russell has one for him. He said: 'I found the bat in my locker, so if you see that guy out there, I'm willing to give him a bat and sign it. 'I feel terribly bad about it.' Russell went 1-for-3 on Monday night and is batting .160 in six big league games for the Cubs. The Cubs defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-0. The Cubs said the patient went to first aid, was transferred to an ambulance and taken to a nearby hospital .

A 25-year-old man left brain damaged as a baby after a blunder by doctors has today won his 23-year battle for £7.3 million compensation. The young man, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, now relies on 24-hour care. He was born at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital in September 1989, but was readmitted three months later, suffering a serious brain haemorrhage. Maternity staff at the hospital failed to administer a vitamin K injection shortly after the man was born. A 25-year-old man was left brain damaged as a baby after doctors at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital failed to administer a vitamin K injection to help the blood clot and prevent internal bleeding. He now requires 24-hour care and will do for the rest of his life. (File picture) The booster is given to newborn babies to reduce their risk of blood clots. The Secretary of State for Health admitted liability, accepting the failure to give the man vitamin K breached their duty of care. At London's High Court today, Judge Michael Yelton approved the £7.3 million settlement, to be paid by the NHS Litigation Authority. It awards the man a lump sum of £2,345,000, as well as annual payments of £181,000, rising to £192,000 - making a total of £7,385,000. Vitamin K helps the blood to clot, and as a result can prevent excessive internal bleeding. In the UK new parents are asked if they would like their newborn to recieve the supplement. Babies are born with low levels of the vitamin, but the amount is normally enough to prevent problems. Some babies are at greater risk, and are more likely to suffer haemorrhagic disease of the newborn, also known as vitamin K deficiency bleeding. Because it can be difficult to ascertain which babies are at heightened risk, the Department of Health recommends all babies receive the supplement soon after birth. Though rare, HDN is a very serious disease. Half of all babies with HDN suffer a haemorrhage into their brain, often resulting in brain damage. Babies at higher risk of HDN include: . Source: NCT . Judge Yelton said the man should not be named because he was a 'vulnerable person'. But he said he was 'entirely satisfied' the settlement was in his best interests. He said he was 'very pleased' for the young man and his family. The brain damage the now 25-year-old suffered has resulted in significant cognitive and physical problems, including a weakness on his left hand side, and reduced hearing. He also lacks the capacity to manage his own affairs, and needs round the clock care. His family welcomed the settlement, adding it will allow for specialist support, specially adapted accommodation and 24-hour care. His solicitor Arani Yogadeva of Irwin Mitchell said: 'Vitamin K injections are offered to parents as a measure to boost their newborn baby's anti-clotting processes shortly after birth and reduce the risks of them suffering excessive bleeding caused by a deficiently in the vitamin. 'In this case, midwives and doctors chose not to provide him with the relevant dose without advising his mother about the vitamin and the importance of it - a decision which has had serious repercussions. 'We are delighted to have helped the family secure vital financial support, along with an admission of liability. 'It will ensure he gets the lifelong care he requires and also urge hospitals to ensure that guidance is following in relation to the issue of vitamin K.'

Asbestos has been discovered in the roof at New York City's mayoral residence and work to remove the potentially cancer-causing materials from Gracie Mansion will begin this month. The hazardous material was discovered last month as crews prepared to replace the mayoral mansion's leaky roof. Officials do not believe the work poses any health risk to Mayor Bill de Blasio and his family, who will remain in the home during the renovation. Asbestos has been discovered in the roof at New York City's mayoral residence and work to remove the potentially cancer-causing materials from Gracie Mansion will begin this month . Mayor Bill de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray hosting a black history month youth event at Gracie Mansion in February: The family expect to remain in the property during the building work . 'Gracie Mansion is one of Manhattan's oldest structures built more than 200 years ago and as with any older homes, maintenance is necessary,' mayoral spokesman Peter Kadushin said on Wednesday. 'Beginning this month Gracie Mansion will undergo asbestos abatement and some long-needed roof repairs.' The cost of removing the asbestos will be about $250,000 and the contract was awarded this week to Regional Management Inc., officials said. The replacement of the mansion 30-year-old roof, which is being done by Nicholson and Galloway, should cost an additional $3.4 million, officials said. The roof was frequently overmatched during rain storms, forcing city work crews to be dispatched to patch problem areas multiple times this winter, officials said. The two projects will be undertaken concurrently and should be completed by October or November, officials said. de Blasio poses with his son Dante (left), daughter Chiara (right), and wife Chirlane outside of their Park Slope home which the family had considered remaining in before moving to Gracie Mansion last July . A storage shed also is being built on the mansion's property. And officials said that about 10 of the building's windows were undergoing upgrades to become energy-efficient at the cost of another $13,000. De Blasio's predecessor, Michael Bloomberg, earmarked $3 million to the Parks Department capital budget in 2012 to replace the tired roof. Bloomberg never lived in the mansion during his 12 years in office — he instead opted to remain at his tony Upper East Side townhome — but oversaw extensive renovations to the home, which he used for meetings and ceremonial events. After considering remaining in his Brooklyn home, de Blasio, his wife and their two children moved into Gracie Mansion last July. The home, which is managed by the nonprofit Gracie Mansion Conservancy, was built in 1799, at which time it sat in the countryside more than five miles north of what was then a very small New York City. The mansion was seized by the city in 1896 after its owner failed to pay taxes. It became the official mayoral residence in 1942.

Britain's leading pensions and savings expert will today be announced as a new Conservative peer, who will appointed as Minister for Consumer Protection if the party wins the election. Dr Ros Altmann, a former Treasury adviser who went on to head over-50s group Saga, would take responsibility for protecting people from rip-off pension and mortgage charges. She would also be in charge of financial education and Government policy to reward and encourage saving. Dr Ros Altmann, pictured with David Cameron at Melbicks, a Wyevale Garden Centre in Birmingham, will today be announced as a new Conservative peer . Dr Altmann will oversee the Government’s pension reforms, which have allowed people to cash in retirement funds rather than being forced into buying often poor-value annuities. She will also steer through reforms designed to make it easier for customers to move to another bank, by allowing customers to take their account number with them. ‘For too many years, consumer rights have played second fiddle to the interests of large financial firms, but the new pension freedoms show that the Conservatives have put the interests of British savers first,’ Dr Altmann said. ‘I passionately believe the new pension reforms, trusting people with their own money, are an essential step to helping everyone make the most of their hard-earned savings. 'David Cameron and George Osborne have proved to me that they want to help the many, not just the few at the top, by giving the same freedoms to everyone as were already enjoyed by the wealthiest. ‘In doing so, they took on the large companies who had too often taken advantage of their customers and have paved the way for a new environment for long-term savings. The Conservatives have created the opportunity for working families to save more if and when they can, knowing they will be allowed to use the money as best suits their circumstances. Dr Ros Altmann, a former Treasury adviser who went on to head over-50s group Saga, would take responsibility for protecting people from rip-off pension and mortgage charges . ‘That is right, but of course it will also require a change of mindset from providers and potentially further action from Government to protect consumers. It will be my job to try to ensure customers get a better deal and I am delighted to be offered the chance to do so. ‘Charge caps, impartial financial guidance, help with financial planning, financial education at all ages, and more competition for savers’ money will all help and it will be great to have the opportunity to play a direct role in looking after the public.’ The Prime Minister said: ‘What we’re doing is taking the country’s leading expert on pensions, on savings, on financial education, Ros Altmann, and saying that if we’re re-elected, she’ll be at the heart of government, making sure we complete this great revolution where we’re giving people much more power to save, to access their pension, to pass their pension on to their children, because we want to create a real savings culture in our country for everybody. 'Not for the rich at the top, but for everybody who saves or has a pension.' ‘This will be good for everybody. We’ve got millions more people saving for a pension because of auto-enrolment - having an automatic pension in your workplace - so there are many more people saving. 'There are also great new products like the flexible ISA, a real encouragement for savings with the single tier pension, and now at the heart of government, if we’re elected, Ros Altmann - the country’s leading pensions, savings, and financial education expert to make sure that we make the most of this great revolution in favour of savings and financial security for many in our country.’ | Dr Ros Altmann will be announced as a new Conservative peer today .

President Barack Obama staunchly defended a framework nuclear agreement with Iran as a 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity' to prevent a bomb and bring longer-term stability to the Middle East. He insisted the U.S. would stand by Israel if it were to come under attack, but acknowledged that his pursuit of diplomacy with Tehran has caused strain with the close ally. 'It's been a hard period,' Obama said in a weekend interview with New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. He added that it is 'personally difficult' for him to hear his administration accused of not looking out for Israel's interests. Scroll down for video . On the back foot: Barack Obama phrased his actions in negotiations with Iran as an attempt to 'take the nuclear issue off the table'. Iran has agreed to restrict its nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions . Now in his seventh year in office, Obama cast the Iran talks as part of a broader foreign policy doctrine that sees American power as a safeguard that gives him the ability to take calculated risks. 'We are powerful enough to be able to test these propositions without putting ourselves at risk,' he said, citing his overtures to Cuba and Myanmar as other examples of his approach. The president's comments come days after the U.S. and other world powers reached a tentative agreement to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. The framework cleared the way for negotiators to hammer out technical details ahead of a June 30 deadline for a final deal. Negotiations: Secretary of State John Kerry, right with Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, was involved in the nuclear talks in Lausanne, Switzerland . Obama argued that successful negotiations presented the most effective way to keep Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but insisted he would keep all options on the table if Tehran were to violate the terms. 'I've been very clear that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon on my watch, and I think they should understand that we mean it,' Obama said in the interview published Sunday. 'But I say that hoping that we can conclude this diplomatic arrangement — and that it ushers a new era in U.S.-Iranian relations — and, just as importantly, over time, a new era in Iranian relations with its neighbors.' The president said there are many details that still need to be worked out with the Iranians and cautioned that there would be 'real political difficulties' in implementing an agreement in both countries. He reiterated his opposition to a legislation that would give the U.S. Congress final say in approving or rejecting a deal, but said he hoped to find a path to allow Congress to 'express itself.' Victory? Obama looked forward to 'a new era' of relations with Iran. Pictured above is the nation's president, Hassan Rouhani . The White House plans an aggressive campaign to sell the deal to Congress, as well as to skeptical Arab allies who worry about Iran's destabilizing activity in the region. The president has invited leaders of six Gulf nations to Washington this spring and said he wanted to 'formalize' U.S. assistance. On the substance of the Iran framework agreement, Obama outlined more specifics of how the U.S. would seek to verify that Tehran wasn't cheating. He said there would be an 'international mechanism' that would assess whether there needed to be an inspection at a suspicious site and could overrule Iranian objections. The nuclear talks have marked a remarkable shift in the frozen relationship between the U.S. and Iran. It has become normal for officials from both countries to communicate and hold face-to-face meetings. Obama is yet to meet with Iranian President Hasan Rouhani, though they did speak on the phone. He has also exchanged letters with Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Obama said the letters include 'a lot of reminders of what he perceives as past grievances against Iran.' But he said the concessions Khamenei allowed his negotiators to make in the nuclear talks suggests that 'he does realize that the sanctions regime that we put together was weakening Iran over the long term, and that if in fact he wanted to see Iran re-enter the community of nations, then there were going to have to be changes.' | President defended negotiations that will lift sanctions on Iran .

Taxes on earnings went up by nearly £1,900 under 13 years of Labour, figures have revealed – as George Osborne warned ‘they’ll do it all again’. The Chancellor said Labour had ‘form’ on jacking up income tax and National Insurance and insisted Ed Balls and Ed Miliband would do the same if given the chance after May 7. ‘Ed Miliband and Ed Balls have done it all before – and they would do it all over again,’ he said. Scroll down for video . Chancellor George Osborne (left) has warned that taxes will rise under Labour and said the party had 'form' on rising taxes. He said: ‘Ed Miliband and Ed Balls (right) have done it all before – and they would do it all again' Today, as he begins a tour of all four nations of the UK, David Cameron will say there is just one month to save Britain from the ‘disaster’ of a Miliband government. Yesterday the Prime Minister stepped up his attack on tax by insisting Labour was planning to drag nearly one million more people into the 40p tax rate. And in a pointed attack on his coalition partners, he dismissed the Lib Dems as being among the ‘minor parties’ making ‘more and more strange claims’. Mr Cameron said voters would pay a ‘heavy price’ for a Labour government which would be ‘looking in your payslip’ for tax. He also condemned Labour’s plans to abolish the married couples tax allowance, which came into effect yesterday. Speaking in Leeds, Ed Balls said the tax break – worth £200 a year to couples who have tied the knot – was ‘perverse’. Shadow Chancellor Mr Balls also repeated his claim – denied outright by the Tories – that they would raise VAT. He said a Tory government would mean ‘millions paying more while millionaires pay less’ as he accused the party of planning to cut the top rate of income tax for those earning over £150,000. Meanwhile a major spat erupted between the Tories and Lib Dems, as Danny Alexander was accused of inventing an extraordinary claim about a senior Tory. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury claimed that during negotiations for the 2012 Budget, a Tory minister told him: ‘You take care of the workers and we’ll take care of the bosses’. Today, as he begins a tour of all four nations of the UK, David Cameron (left) will say there is just one month to save Britain from the ‘disaster’ of a Miliband (right) government, which would see voters 'pay a heavy price' He refused to say who it was. Mr Alexander made the comments, in the Independent newspaper, as his party attempted to claw back credit for cutting the personal rate of income tax from the Tories. But Culture Secretary Sajid Javid told the BBC’s World at One the claim was ‘complete rubbish’. He added: ‘The reason why he wouldn’t actually tell you who he thinks said it is he knows that no one said it.’ Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg accused Mr Osborne of being a ‘very dangerous man’ because of his cuts plans. Mr Cameron dismissed the remarks, saying: ‘You are going to hear minor parties just making more and more strange claims to say “look at me, look at what I’m saying”.’ Mr Osborne released figures, by the independent House of Commons Library, showing the extent of tax and National Insurance rises under Labour from 1997 to 2010. Combined taxes on income went up by an average of £1,895 across all households, he said. They rose among every income group, with those earning £15,500 hit the hardest. He repeated his claim Labour is planning a £3,000 tax bombshell, saying: ‘We’re publishing figures that show Labour’s got form on tax.’ Mr Cameron, who will visit England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in a single day today, will say there is ‘one month to save our economy from the disaster of an Ed Miliband government’. | George Osborne has warned that taxes will rise under Labour Government .

A busy mum sits at a table surrounded by crayons, colouring in a child's book, taking care to stay within the printed lines and fully concentrating on the task. There's nothing unusual about that, you might think, except there's not a child in sight...and the mum is simply colouring in because she wants to. Grown ups reaching for the crayons is a new global trend it seems, as adults say they're attracted to the creativity that colouring in affords. Scottish illustrator Johanna Basford has sold more than 1.4million copies of her colouring-in book for grown-ups, Secret Garden. The follow-up, Enchanted Forest, is expected to do just as well . Art and flowers: The book is the most popular in its genre and has now been translated into 22 languages . If you needed any proof, then browsing Amazon's bestseller list offers it. A book called Secret Garden by Scottish illustrator Johanna Basford, which includes 96 pages of black-and-white drawings has sold more than 1.4million copies and is riding high in the bestsellers chart. So far, it's been translated into 22 different languages. The New York Times has even reported on 'colouring-in groups', where grown-ups meet, as if they were in a knitting circle or book club, just to neatly daub colour on the right side of lines together. The arty fad is said to have started in France, where it was promoted as both a therapeutic hobby and a way of rediscovering lost creativity. Adult colouring-in titles are now said to be outselling cook books in the country, no mean feat for a destination that holds gastronomy so close to its heart. The allure is said to be the unadulterated pleasure of doing something for no purpose other than to enjoy the practice of colouring and staying within the lines. According to experts, it's a kickback against the stresses of modern life and technology, where everything, even leisure time has to be in some way useful or aspirational. The images in Basford's book are not particularly adult in theme, they depict scenes of both nature and fantasy. Basford, 31, told The Times: 'Colouring in appeals to people because it’s a chance to do an analogue activity that’s not on a screen. Everyone is creative deep down but as you get older you get less confident in your abilities.' The artist's second book, Enchanted Forest, is showing all signs of eclipsing the success of her first work. Basford says her success is down to people resisting modern technology in their leisure time. She says: 'Colouring in appeals to people because it’s a chance to do an analogue activity that’s not on a screen' In Australia, colouring-in circles have emerged, such is the pursuit's current popularity. One crayon fantatic Jenny Keane told the Sydney Morning Herald that she even enjoys colouring in with her husband: 'During the week some people like to go to the bar to decompress, whereas my husband and I like to sit down together and just colour.' She adds: 'I can't draw but I like to use my hands to get creative. Some people might use yoga or running but colouring for me is my sense of peace.' A study in the US in 2012 found that colouring in reduced anxiety among university students. | Johanna Basford has sold 1.4million copies of her book Secret Garden .

(CNN)While the fight against ISIS in Syria and Iraq holds the world's gaze, a simultaneous transformation is getting less attention: the deterioration of al Qaeda. In an audio message released Sunday, al Qaeda confirmed that two of its leaders, known as Ustad Ahmad Farooq and Qari Abdullah Mansur, were killed in CIA drone strikes in January in North Waziristan, near the Afghan-Pakistan border. Farooq's real name was Raja Mohammad Suleman, al Qaeda said. He was a Pakistani who acted as the group's liaison to the Pakistan Taliban and was the deputy commander of al Qaeda's South Asia branch. (Mansur's real name was Qari Ubaidullah, a Pakistani who oversaw suicide missions against U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan). Al Qaeda's South Asia branch is relatively new, announced with some fanfare back in September by al Qaeda's top leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri. The creation of the terror group's South Asia branch was seen by some terrorism analysts as an attempt to steal some of the limelight from ISIS, which is embroiled in a public dispute with al Qaeda for leadership of the global jihad movement. The deaths of the two men continue the decimation of al Qaeda's bench of leaders. On Monday, in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi, local al Qaeda commander Nurul Hassan was killed in a raid, said Arif Hanif, district inspector general of police. Florida-raised Adnan Shukrijumah, 39, who was in charge of al Qaeda's operations to attack the West, was killed in December in a Pakistani military operation. Texas-born Mohanad Mahmoud Al Farekh, who also played a planning role for al Qaeda's operations, was arrested in Pakistan last year. The deaths of Ubaidullah and Suleman underline the fact that there are almost no top leaders of al Qaeda left except al-Zawahiri. Both Ubaidullah and Suleman were Pakistani. This is an indicator of how al Qaeda has become a largely Pakistan-focused group, increasingly able to do nothing of any significance outside of Pakistan or Afghanistan. Indeed, al Qaeda has virtually no capacity to carry out attacks in the West. The last successful al Qaeda attack in the West was the London transportation system bombings a decade ago. Al Qaeda is now reduced only to holding American hostages such as 73-year-old aid worker Warren Weinstein, who was kidnapped from his home in the Pakistani city of Lahore on August 13, 2011. To be sure, al Qaeda's Yemen-based affiliate, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, continues to pose a threat to American aviation. The group has built hard-to-detect bombs, which it has placed on U.S.-bound flights. Luckily, those bombs were faulty or were detected. The group also trained one of the gunmen who attacked the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris in January, killing 12, but it's not clear if AQAP had any direct role in planning this attack. Meanwhile, ISIS continues to attract Western recruits and also inspire "homegrown" terrorists in the West, but the core al Qaeda organization that killed almost 3,000 men, women and children on 9/11 is on life support. Al Qaeda's confirmation of the deaths of Ubaidullah and Suleman is just one of the latest pieces of evidence for this assessment. | Al Qaeda confirms that two of its leaders were killed in January drone strikes .

The former Liverpool star scored a brace as Barcelona took charge of their Champions League quarter-final tie against the French champions. Suarez's strike partner Lionel Messi shared an image of the duo together inside the Parc des Princes dressing room via his Facebook page and said: 'Great game with 2 amazing goals from my friend Luis Suarez!'

A New Zealand man was taken aback after receiving a phone call from his brother who had been missing for 10 years. John Daniel Tohill, 37, was last heard from by family in 2005 after he left Nelson on the Tasman bay to travel north. But on Tuesday evening his brother Tobias received a call from John saying he had would be visiting in the coming weeks, reports Stuff NZ. John Daniel Tohill, 37, made contact with his family this week for the first time since 2005 . Over the years his family has hired investigators and police, but because he was an adult and had disappeared without notice before there was little incentive for police to appeal to the public for information. The family learned that John had never left the country, had no savings and did not possess a driver's licence. But after a call out for public sightings of him, John called his brother on Tuesday. 'It's pretty amazing,' Tobias said. 'He wanted to keep to himself all this time.' He was reportedly alerted to the search by a colleague who showed him the story on Stuff NZ. Tobias said his brother offered little explanation to his disappearance. John's brother Tobias (pictured) received a call from John saying he had would be visiting them in coming weeks . 'He is happy. He sounds well. He sounds like his is in a good way. We were very happy to hear from him.' John will visit his family in the coming weeks, including his father, who is in the final stage of dementia. 'It's a bit strange,' Tobias said. 'It's really good to hear he is well. I don't have to think about it any more.' | John Daniel Tohill, 37, was last heard from by his family in 2005 .

(CNN)If you're famous and performing the American national anthem, be prepared to become a national hero or a national disgrace. Facts are facts. Just ask Vince, Whitney, Roseanne, Jimi and Michael. Mötley Crüe's Vince Neil reminded us again this week of the dangers of tackling "The Star-Spangled Banner." Sure, he can shred it on "Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Dr. Feelgood," but this is a different story -- a completely different story. To say Neil butchered the song before the Las Vegas Outlaws Arena Football League game would be unkind to those in the profession. There's less carnage when butchers are done with their work. The late Whitney Houston set the modern standard for the national anthem at Super Bowl XXV. In the early stages of the Gulf War in 1991, a patriotic America saluted her performance. Just six months earlier, comedian Roseanne Barr may have established the low-water mark. The crowd at the San Diego Padres game booed her rendition and President George H. W. Bush called it "disgraceful." There's nothing quite like getting the presidential thumbs down. One of the most controversial and beloved versions of "The Star-Spangled Banner" comes from 1969. Guitar slinger Jimi Hendrix inflamed mainstream America with his psychedelic take on the national anthem to the delight of the Woodstock generation. And then there's Michael Bolton's version. Overly wrought songs are his specialty and he doesn't disappoint in that department when he sings at the American League Championship Series in 2003. Bolton belts it out, but there's one little problem -- the words. Can anyone say crib notes? | Singing the national anthem is a risky proposition .
Whitney Houston nailed it; Roseanne Barr destroyed it . | eeafdc8b2d8130cabda5aafe352eab1198d0b9f8 | [

Quiz question. Which player is the second-highest scorer in the country this season? Stand up and take a bow anyone who came up with Benik Afobe, who was one of Arsenal’s own before they loaned him to MK Dons and sold him to Wolves. Afobe is young, electric-paced and on 28 goals this season - one behind man-of-the-moment Harry Kane of Tottenham and England. Bakary Sako celebrates after scoring Wolves second goal in a 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest on Good Friday . Sako doubled Wolves' advantage from the penalty spot after he was fouled by Forest's Henri Lansbury . Nottingham Forest (4-1-4-1): Darlow 6.5; Mancienne 6.5, Wilson 6, Lascelles 6.5, Lichaj 7; Gardner 6; Burke 7 (Walker, 76), Lansbury 5.5, Osborn 5 (Paterson, 57, 6), Antonio 5.5 (Blackstock, 83); Akpom 6 . Subs not used: Fox, Vaughan, Hobbs, Evtimov . Goal: Blackstock 90+4 . Booked: Gardner, Lascelles . Wolves (4-4-2): Ikeme 6.5; Iorfa 7, Baath 7, Stearman 7.5, Golbourne 7; Sako 7, Price 6.5, McDonald 6.5, Henry 7 (van la Parra, 66, 5); Afobe 8 (Doherty, 83), Dicko 7.5 (Edwards, 66, 5.5) Subs not used: Doyle, Ebanks-Landell, Hause, Kuszczak. Goals: Afobe 46, Sako 72 . Booked: Price . Ref: Andy D’Urso 6 . Man of the match: Afobe . If he keeps this up, Afobe might even be able to inspire Wolves all the way into the Premier League. What a bargain for £2million, too. Having scored 19 times for MK, the 22-year-old striker has nine goals in 15 appearances for Kenny Jackett’s Wanderers. He has a goalscoring knack, beautifully illustrated 30 seconds into the second half when he collected the ball round the centre circle and started running. Back-tracking Forest defenders held off and held off until, boom, Afobe took a pot-shot and Karl Darlow retrieved the ball which had just avoided his finger tips. Suddenly a tight, strangely underwhelming, match, had a breakthrough and Wolves duly capitalised on it as Bakary Sako doubled the lead from the penalty spot. They are building up a head of steam as the Skybet Championship enters the final weeks with one defeat in nine. Jackett has steered his team from the blind side with remarkable efficiency. A trip across to the East Midlands could have been a very tricky encounter considering Forest’s resurgence under Dougie Freeman. The news that owner Fawaz al Hasawi wants Freedman to stay beyond the summer hardly comes as a surprise. More importantly, from the supporters’ point of view, the manager is making all the right noises about triggering his year’s option too. The Freedman effect is tangible at the City Ground, even if this turned out to be the first real blip. Henri Lansbury has been back to something like his best after a forgettable first chunk of the season so this was a step back for him, too. If anything illustrates BP and AP – before and after Stuart Pearce – then it is Lansbury’s match stats. Before Pearce’s sacking Lansbury had 10 yellow cards and five goals to his name. Since then he has picked up one more booking and scored seven times. Admittedly he went into this Midlands derby on the back of a six-match goal drought and it was his clumsy challenge on Sako which had referee Andy D’Urso pointing to the spot. Wolves defender Dominic Iorfa (right) battles for the ball with Forest striker Chuba Akpom . Danny Batth (left) tackles Akpom during their Good Friday encounter at the City ground . Gary Gardner attempts a scissor kick as Forest look to breach the Wolves defence . A bad day at the office, then, for Forest. Maths and time is against them making the top six but beating Wolves would have had the double impact of keeping them in the chasing pack and denting the top-six hopes of Kenny Jackett’s team. Certainly the 27,000 bumper Good Friday crowd who braved the drizzle arrived in hope and expectation because Freedman’s other achievement since his arrival has been a transformation of home results. Five straight victories at the City Ground after a similar winless run had injected optimism. By the final whistle there were resigned expressions on faces again despite a 90th minute consolation from Dexter Blackstock. Yet it had started promisingly. Michail Antonio might have scored in the opening minutes although it would have been a fluke. The Forest attacker blocked Carl Ikeme’s clearance and the ball ballooned up and could have gone anywhere. Benik Afobe celebrates after putting Wolves 1-0 ahead at the City Ground on Good Friday . Afobe (centre) gave the visitors the lead with a right footed shot from outside the box . The Wolves striker (centre) is mobbed by his team-mates after putting them ahead in the second half . The home side also had their ‘A’ man and, like Afobe there is an Arsenal connection. Chuba Akpom was on the wanted list of many clubs in January but Forest managed to persuade the Gunners to loan him out to them. He was named from the start but struggled to impose himself. His best moment was a penalty claim when he went down under a challenge from Chris Burke but D’Urso was having none of it. Highlights for Forest included a long-range effort by Michael Mancienne which was pushed wide by Ikeme while Lansbury shot over the bar from the edge of the area. Wolves thought they had scored in the first half when Kevin Wilson’s slip let in Afobe. Darlow saved the shot and Eric Lichaj blocked the follow-up by Nouha Dicko. Next up for the Wanderers is Leeds at home on Easter Monday. Neil Redfearn was an interested spectator on Good Friday and he needs no telling it will be a toughie. | Benik Afobe fired Wolves ahead on 46 minutes with a low right-footed shot .
Bakary Sako doubled the visitors lead from the penalty spot on 72 minutes .
Dexter Blackstock scored a late consolation for the hosts in injury time .
Win moves Wolves on to 68 points with six games remaining . | 421fa89914bcff9439b539d2c27c858f6efd4087 | [

A New Zealand hunter is lucky to be alive after a friend mistook him for a deer and shot him in the back with a .270 rifle. Max Verschuuren, 21, was bent over emptying rocks out of his boot on his way to a felled deer in the Te Urewera forest, North Island, on Saturday night when his mate blasted his back open. 'All of a sudden I heard this whack and the sound of a gun shot,' Mr Verschuuren told Daily Mail Australia. Grisly photographs snapped in hospital show the gaping, bloody wound it left. Keen hunter: Max Verschuuren, 21, has been hunting all his life - but on Saturday evening he accidentally became the hunted when his friend mistook him for a deer . 'I thought, "oh s***", and had all this blood dripping down my back': Max Verschuuren is pictured here in hospital . Bloody wound: Grisly photographs released by Mr Verschuuren show the damage the bullet did to his left shoulder blade . Blunt Snapchat: Doctors have stitched up Mr Verschuuren after he was shot in the back on Saturday evening . He tumbled down the hill he was perched on, falling into the bushes in a desperate attempt to escape any further bullets. 'I thought, "oh s***", and had all this blood dripping down my back. 'I said, "f***en' stop, that's me!". 'I just wanted to get out of it in case they still thought I was a deer.' Mr Verschuuren was wearing a dim headlight. His shooter thought it was the reflection of light in a deer's eyes. After his friend carried him over to the rest of the hunting party, Mr Verschuuren kept his cool, worried that he would otherwise go into shock. The mate who shot him was mortified. 'He's truly f***ing sorry. He couldn't sleep. 'He's come to see me every day in the hospital. 'He's a good guy, not an idiot, not a loser, s*** happens yeah. 'Wrong place wrong time for both us. Stitched up: Mr Verschuuren has spent days in hospital since he was shot at the back of his shoulder blade. He was expecting to be discharged on Monday afternoon . Local police are investigating the incident. In a statement, Bay of Plenty investigators issued a warning to hunters to take appropriate safety measures. 'It's... a reminder that no hunting trophy is worth having to live with the consequences of killing a mate.' The keen hunter, from Whakatane, has received stitches and was expecting to be discharged from hospital later on Monday. He has pledged to continue shooting - even with the friend who shot him. 'I love hunting, it's in me blood.' Mr Verschuuren (pictured with a friend who did not shoot him) is a keen hunter, telling Daily Mail Australia it's 'in me blood' Hospital stint: Local police have issued a warning to hunters, such as Max, to take appropriate safety measures . | GRAPHIC IMAGE WARNING .

With James Rodriguez returning to the Real Madrid squad, Spanish publication Marca have splashed about how Carlo Ancelotti has his 'six nations' available again. The former Monaco playmaker has been out of action since the beginning of February with a foot injury, but has been named in the Real starting XI for the visit of Granada on Sunday. And with that, Ancelotti has a fearsome front line of different nationalities ready to chase down Barcelona in the La Liga run-in. Real Madrid have their 'six nations' available again: (back l-r) Toni Kroos (Germany), Karim Benzema (France), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) - (front) Gareth Bale (Wales), James Rodriguez (Colombia), Luka Modric (Croatia . Mundo Deportivo splash about Lionel Messi's fitness while AS say it is 'operation 30 points' for Carlo Ancelotti . Rodriguez (Colombia), Toni Kroos (Germany), Gareth Bale (Wales), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) and Luka Modric (Croatia, who has also recently returned to full fitness, form the 'hard core' of the Bernabeu side. Elsewhere in Spain, AS claim the rest of the season will be 'operation 30 points' for Ancelotti, with the Italian coach insisting it is not impossible that they will win their remaining 10 games. Mundo Deportivo cover Lionel Messi's foot injury, with the Argentine forward recovering from a foot problem to be part of the Barcelona squad to face Celta Vigo. Meanwhile in Italy, the city of Milan takes centre stage. Filipo Inzaghi's AC Milan beat Palermo 2-1 to make it two wins in a row and maintain a slim hope of European football next season. But Roberto Mancini reportedly brought his Inter Milan squad into training at 8.30am on Easter Sunday after they were held by crisis club Parma. Inter were booed off at the San Siro, and haven't won in Serie A since February.

A new comprehensive study of 3.9million military personnel who served after 9/11 has found no direct link between deployment to a war zone and elevated suicide rates. Researchers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Tacoma, Washington, concluded that military suicides may be more likely after members leave the service than during active duty deployment, particularly if their time in uniform is brief. ‘It was certainly intuitive as the wars went on and suicides went up for people to assume that deployment was the reason, but our data show that that is too simplistic; when you look at the total population, deployment is not associated with suicide,’ said lead author Mark Reger. New study: Researchers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord looked at military records of 3.9million personnel who served after 9/11 and found no direct link between deployment to a war zone and elevated suicide rates . Matter of honor: Service members with a dishonorable discharge were about twice as likely to commit suicide as those who had an honorable separation . The four-year study, the largest of its kind, was published Wednesday in the Journal of American Medicine Association Psychiatry. While the US military has traditionally experienced lower suicide rates than the civilian population, suicides among active duty service members have surged in the past decade, almost doubling in the Army and the Marines Corps, Reger said. In 2012, Pentagon reported 320 suicides by active-duty service members; another 268 soldiers took their lives last year. To understand the relationship between deployment and self-inflicted death, researchers reviewed military records for more than 3.9million active-duty soldiers and reservists who joined up between October 7, 2001 and December 31, 2007. A total of 31,962 deaths occurred, including 5,041 suicides, by December 31, 2009. Suicide rates were similar regardless of whether or not servicemen and women were deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. The study did not factor in veterans’ exposure to combat and the potential effect of traumatic events on the battlefield on suicide rates. There were 1,162 suicides among those who deployed and 3,879 among those who didn't, representing suicide rates per 100,000 person-years of 18.86 and 17.78, respectively. Leaving the military significantly increased suicide risk, however, with a suicide rate of 26.06 after separating from service compared with 15.12 for those who remained in uniform. At home and abroad: Suicide rates were similar regardless of whether or not servicemen and women were deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan . Those who left sooner had a greater risk, with a rate of 48.04 among those who spent less than a year in the military. Service members with a dishonorable discharge were about twice as likely to commit suicide as those who had an honorable separation. ‘This is the first time such a huge, comprehensive study has found an increased suicide risk among those who have separated from service, particularly if they served for less than four years or had an other than honorable discharge,’ said Rajeev Ramchand, a researcher in military mental health and suicide prevention at Rand Corporation who wasn't involved in the study. It's possible that pre-deployment examinations may screen out people who have mental health problems, making those who deploy several times a healthier, more resilient group, said Dr. Alan Peterson, a psychologist at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio who specializes in combat-related post traumatic stress disorder. ‘Those who really struggle with a deployment don't go the second time,’ said Peterson, a retired military psychologist who wasn't involved in the study. ‘Early separation from the military is often a marker for something else.’ For those contemplating suicide, access to firearms can exacerbate the problem, Peterson said. ‘It's a risk factor that sometimes gets overlooked, but we've seen when they don't have access to weapons they are less likely to kill themselves.’ Leaving the military significantly increased suicide risk, and those who left after just one year were most vulnerable . Some service members who leave the military early may have had risk factors for suicide such as mood disorders or substance abuse problems that contributed to their separation, particularly if they had a dishonorable discharge, said Dr. Christine Moutier, chief medical officer of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. It isn't realistic to expect former service members to instantly reintegrate into their former civilian lives, but they may be experiencing serious mental health problems if they're not eating or sleeping or if they're extremely agitated or irritable, Moutier said. ‘The lack of an association between deployment and suicide risk isn't surprising,’ she said. ‘At a very high level, these findings highlight the need for us to pay closer attention to what happens when people leave the military.’ | Researchers at Joint Base Lewis-McChord concluded military suicides may be more likely after members leave service than during deployment .

Captain Alastair Cook says England will leave Antigua with 'a bit of a downer on' after failing to force victory in the first Test against the West Indies. The tourists, chasing a first away win since beating India in December 2012, were halted by a stubbornly unresponsive pitch at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, as well as a name-making century from all-rounder Jason Holder. In the end they could only muster five of the eight wickets they needed on day five as Holder's unbeaten 103 steered the hosts to 350 for seven. Alastair Cook holds his head in his hands after the chance to take a crucial wicket goes begging in Antigua . Cook stands next to West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin as both sides settled for a draw in the first Test . Cook did everything in his power to force the issue, rotating his bowlers, tinkering with fields and leaving close catchers in place from first ball to last. But in the end he was deflated, with just three days before the second Test in Grenada. 'I think the whole dressing room has a bit of a downer on because we left everything on the pitch, as we had to do,' he said. 'I wouldn't swap much of what we did on a pretty docile wicket, but credit to Holder because he soaked up a bit of pressure. 'I think you could start another Test match again on that wicket and it would last another five days. It didn't deteriorate at all but we came close to winning a Test match on it. Jason Holder hits a shot past cook on his way to his maiden Test century that earned his side a deserved draw . 'We threw everything at the West Indies, we played a pretty good Test match and came up just a little short. 'It was probably a points victory but we go to Grenada now.' England are unlikely to get much more assistance from the deck in St George's, though it could be more receptive to turn. That brings Moeen Ali into the equation, with the off-spinning all-rounder passed fit after an abdominal injury and linking up with the squad in Grenada. England will also be wary about over-burdening their seam bowlers in back to back Tests, but Cook was not ready to speculate on possible personnel changes. 'It's very tough to say without seeing Grenada and the wicket, but Mo is flying out and we'll see how he is,' said Cook. Devon Smith drives a shot past Cook on his way to 65 runs in a patient 175-ball second innings . 'Obviously when you do 130 overs in the dirt you need to see how the guys pull up.' England's task now is find a way to bowl their opponents out twice on flat Caribbean surfaces, a question that was already occupying James Anderson on the day he became the country's leading Test wicket-taker. 'For a fifth day pitch I've not seen many flatter. You expect a bit of deterioration but there was nothing,' said the seamer. 'I imagine that's what we'll get for the next two games too so we have to go away and think about ways to get 20 wickets in the next two games.' For all England's frustration, the West Indies will view the result as a morale boost. Captain Denesh Ramdin added: 'We haven't lost to England in Antigua before so it was nice to keep up that tradition. 'The draw will feel good, confidence is up and some of our batters have got good starts. 'So we regroup, come again and take it all to the next game.' The England players leave the field frustrated after day five ends with West Indies having forced the draw . | England denied first tour win since December 2012 by stubborn hosts .
Alastair Cook rues missed opportunity at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium .
Jason Holder hit a century to frustrate the tourists on day five .
England could only take five of the eight wickets needed to lead the series .
Tourists now head to Grenada for the start of the second Test on Tuesday . | b127b08b58301db699fd96438e91b419d480bec0 | [

Sending dozens of messages or playing games for hours can cause your phone to overheat, which can drain battery and even damage the device. Now an Israeli team of developers has built a 'thermal protection' case that not only warns you when your phone is getting too hot, it will automatically cool it down. Called Amited, the case uses micro-fans to blow heat away from the device, or can heat a phone using resistance coils if it gets too cold. Scroll down for video . The Optimal case (pictured) was designed by Israel-based Amited. Sensors in the case monitor the phone's temperature and if it gets too hot, Optimal will cool the device using two built-in micro-fans. And if it gets too hot, Optimal engages its Anti-Freeze protection mode to gently heat the phone using resistance coils . The recommended storage temperature for most batteries is 15°C (59°F), while the 'extreme allowable' temperature is 40°C to 50°C (40°C to 122°F). Studies have found that a phone is most efficient when it's between 0° and 35°C (32°F to 95°F), and keeping it as near room temperature as possible (22° C or 72°F ) is ideal. At an average temperature of 0°C (32°F), a lithium-ion battery will lose six per cent of its maximum capacity every year. At 25°C (77°F) degrees that number jumps to 20 per cent. Optimal syncs with a smartphone over Bluetooth and constantly analyses the phone's temperature when Auto mode is enabled, using built-in temperature and humidity sensors. Optimal syncs with a smartphone over Bluetooth and constantly analyses the phone's temperature when Auto mode is enabled, using built-in temperature and humidity sensors. The board and fans are pictured . Auto mode can be disabled and users can also manually track temperature changes using an app. This app shows changes over time, but also reveals which apps in particular are having the highest thermal effect on the phone. Users can then set their own custom temperatures zones and set alarm thresholds . Inside the 0.19-inch (5mm) thick case is a pair of 'virtually silent', 0.07inch (2mm) micro-fans with air flow of 1.3 litres per minute. These dissipate the heat and cool the phone down. Amited is also fitted with an ultra-thin heating coils attached to the back of a conductive copper plate. When Optimal notices a drop in temperature, Anti-Freeze mode will engage these coils to stop the phone from freezing, even in sub-freezing conditions. Optimal's sensors are pictured. When Optimal's air vents are blocked, for example when the phone is in a pocket or bag, it will alert the user to warn them the temperature in their phone needs to be corrected. Alternatively, the phone can use Optimal's built-in battery as a backup . Optimal is fitted with temperature sensors, resistance coils and two 2mm micro-fans. It syncs with a smartphone over Bluetooth and constantly analyses the phone's temperature when in Auto mode. If it gets too hot, Optimal will cool the device using the micro-fans. These fans help the phone dissipate heat faster and cools down the device. And if the phone gets too hot, Optimal engages its Anti-Freeze protection to gently heat the phone using the resistance coils. Optimal remains in low-power, 'sleeping mode' the rest of the time to conserve battery. Auto mode can be switched off at any time, though, and people can manually analyse their phone's temperature, as well as see which apps impacting the device. Plus, when Optimal's air vents are blocked, for example when the phone is in a pocket or bag, it alerts the user to warn them the temperature of their phone needs to be corrected. Alternatively, the phone can use Optimal's built-in battery as a backup. Amited is launching an Indiegogo campaign to fund production of the case (pictured) on 9 April. Optimal will be available for pre-order for Apple, Samsung, Nexus, HTC & Xperia phones. Prices haven't been announced . Studies have found that a phone is most efficient between 0° and 35°C (32°F to 95°F), and keeping it as near room temperature as possible (22° C or 72°F ) is ideal. At an average temperature of 0°C (32°F), a lithium-ion battery will lose 6% of its maximum capacity every year. At 25°C (77°F) degrees that number jumps to 20%. Batteries exposed to hot temperatures lose their ability to store energy and the hotter the temperature, the faster they lose this ability. Extreme heatcan also cause permanent battery failure if exposed for long periods. In the cold, when the temperatures drop low enough, the phone could think its battery is empty even if it’s fully charged. The colder it gets, the least amount of energy that the battery can provide. In addition, the internal resistance of the battery grows, causing the output voltage to drop. When Auto mode is enabled, these subtle temperature changes are tracked automatically, but this mode can be disabled and users can manually track these changes using the Optimal app. This app shows temperature changes over time, but also reveals which apps are having the highest thermal effect on the phone. Users can then set custom operation modes based on their activity and location, set their own custom temperatures zones and set alarm thresholds. 'Heat is the worst enemy of your smartphone battery,' said Amited. 'Like all electronics, constant exposure to the elements will have a negative impact on your smartphone. 'Intense usage will lead to overheating, while extreme cold weather will lead to some circuits freezing inside your smartphone. 'In time, these can affect the performance of your phone’s CPU, battery and GPU. And, eventually, they’ll let you down completely.' 'Optimal is the world’s first thermal protection case designed to keep your smartphone working at its best, no matter where you go or how excessive you use it.' Amited is launching an Indiegogo campaign to fund production of the case on the 9 April. Optimal cases will then be available for pre-order for Apple, Samsung, Nexus, HTC & Xperia phones. Prices have not been announced. | Sensors in the Optimal case track subtle changes in a phone's temperature .

Ivan Balashov took this selfie on one phone before stealing one he preferred - only to be caught when police identified him from the picture . A phone thief took a selfie with a handset before stealing a model he preferred - only to be caught when police identified him from the photo. Ivan Balashov was browsing through smartphones in a shop in Novokuznetsk, southern Russia when he took a picture of himself wearing a bobble hat and a fake Reebok top. But after deciding the camera on the mobile was not good enough, the 22-year-old grabbed another handset and headed for the exit where he was stopped by shop security. A shop spokesman said: 'When he was asked where he was going he told the security guard that he wanted to buy the phone - and was going to his car to get his wallet. 'For some reason the guard let him go outside the shop with the phone at which point the man ran off.' But when police arrived they quickly discovered Balashov’s selfie. A police spokesman said: 'The man is well-known to the police so when the shop assistant told officers he had been taking photos with another phone they immediately recognised him and were able to go straight to the man’s house. 'When they arrived he denied being anywhere near the shop so in a way condemned himself as we were able to prove he had been there just 30 minutes earlier.' On his way home he had sold the stolen phone in a pawn shop for the equivalent of £120. Appearing in court, Balashov was found guilty and given a three month suspended sentence. Police found Balashov's selfie on a phone in the store and immiediately recognised him.

COOK'S BRADMAN JINX . With overcast conditions and moisture in the air, it’s easy to see why the out-of-nick Alastair Cook put West Indies in to bat. On Test Match Special, Graeme Swann revealed the exact moment Cook’s form with the bat took a turn for the worse. He said: ‘Two years ago when England were in New Zealand, Brendon McCullum said Cook was the closest thing to Don Bradman. 'He hasn’t scored a ton since. It’s the greatest piece of reverse psychology I’ve ever seen.’ Alastair Cook's former team-mate Graeme Swann pointed out when the England captain's form turned . RASHID MADE TO WAIT . While the rain came down in the morning, there was much talk of whether Yorkshire’s leg-spinning all-rounder Adil Rashid would play in this Test. Despite many calling for his inclusion, the 27-year-old will have to wait to make his debut. Assuming he is the next man to do so, he will be England’s 666th Test player - though he will have the chance to skip straight to 667. Adil Rashid was made to wait for his Test debut after being left out after much discussion on day one . WOE FOR BRAVO . Marlon Samuels might have an excellent record against England, but Darren Bravo does not. The batsman has no 50s in five Tests against them - at a paltry average of 19.75 - so who can blame him for getting fidgety and poking at a wide ball from Stuart Broad as he crept towards the half-century mark? Kraigg Brathwaite is first to fall as James Anderson bowls the West Indies opener with a massive in-swinger . BIG DAY FOR GRENADA . Viewers may not be familiar with Grenada’s National Cricket Stadium as it is hardly a regular Test venue. After being built in 1999, it was damaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and rebuilt in time for the 2007 World Cup. As a result, this is only the third Test it has hosted, and on Tuesday Devon Smith became the first Grenadan ever to score a Test run in Grenada. Devon Smith walks off after being dismissed without hitting the ball after being the first local to score a Test run in Grenada . Joe Root 'wasn't a massive fan' after the first time he faced now team-mate James Anderson . ROOT’S RUDE AWAKENING . In his latest ECB blog, Joe Root gives an insight into what it’s like for a batsman to face up to Jimmy Anderson. ‘I’ll never forget the first time I came across Jimmy, early in the 2011 season,’ said Root. ‘I was 20 and fairly new in the Yorkshire first team. He was making a rare county appearance for Lancashire in a Roses Match in Liverpool and let’s just say he was quite aggressive. 'He took me a bit by surprise and on that initial evidence I wasn’t a massive fan.’ FAMILY VALUES . At tea, Anderson’s father, Michael, spoke to TMS about the making of England’s leading wicket taker. ‘Every evening when I came home from work we would play out in the garden and he wouldn’t let me give my wicket away - he would always make sure he got me out,’ he said. | Graeme Swann revealed the exact moment Alastair Cook’s form turned .
If Adil Rashid was picked for the second Test he'd be England 666th player .

Hong Kong (CNN)Six people were hurt after an explosion at a controversial chemical plant in China's southeastern Fujian province sparked a huge fire, provincial authorities told state media. The plant, located in Zhangzhou city, produces paraxylene (PX), a reportedly carcinogenic chemical used in the production of polyester films and fabrics. The blast occurred at an oil storage facility Monday night after an oil leak, though local media has not reported any toxic chemical spill. Five out of six people were injured by broken glass and have been sent to the hospital for treatment, Xinhua news agency reported. More than 600 firefighters were sent to battle the blaze and the fire is now under control, the Zhangzhou fire department wrote on their official microblogging account Tuesday morning. Residents living close to the plant had heard the explosion and took to Weibo to post photos of the fire. One user wrote that he heard a loud blast and felt slight tremors. The plant was hit by another explosion in July 2013, although there were no reports of casualties or toxic leaks at the time. Though demonstrations are illegal in China, the construction of PX plants has sparked protests, which have occasionally turned violent, in several cities in recent years. The Zhangzhou plant was slated for Xiamen -- a densely populated city in the southeast of the country. However, it provoked an angry backlash in 2007 due to pollution concerns and prompted the local government to relocate the factory to its current, more remote location. | A blast rocks a chemical plant in China's southeastern Fujian province for the second time in two years .

A young Irish rugby star escaped serious injury when his home was targeted by a gunman who fired multiple bullets through his windows. Adam McBurney, who has been capped for the Ireland Under-20s and recently played in their Six Nations campaign, was not at his home in Cromkill in County Antrim, Northern Ireland when it was targeted on Easter Sunday. Shocked neighbours said he could have been killed if he was in the property, after bullets tore through the windows and ended up embedded in the kitchen and bathroom walls. Adam McBurney, who has been capped for the Ireland Under-20s (left), was not at home when a gunman fired multiple bullets through the windows of his property in County Antrim, Northern Ireland (right) on Sunday . Mr McBurney, who lives at the home with his brother Shane, 20, and is deemed a bright prospect for Irish rugby, is said to have returned to the house following the attack but is yet to speak about the incident. Photographs from the scene today show at least 12 bullet holes still visible in a living room window of the property, which is situated on a small housing estate alongside just seven other homes. Police Service of Northern Ireland said a number of shots were fired at the windows of the unoccupied house at 2.20am on Sunday. Detectives are now appealing for witnesses and said the incident had 'criminal elements'. Officers also said a red Honda Accord car, which is believed to have been involved in the incident, was found burnt-out in a nearby road shortly after the attack. Chief inspector Natalie Wilson said: 'This type of attack is totally unacceptable and there is no place for this type of activity in a civilised society. I know that the vast majority of people in Ballymena do not support those responsible. 'I want to reassure the Ballymena community that we are determined to tackle these criminal elements and as such we are committing additional resources over the next few nights. 'We will not accept this type of behaviour and I would ask for community support and information as we work to identify those responsible.' Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident which occurred when the house was unoccupied in the early hours of Easter Sunday. Investigators' markings showed at least 12 bullets hit one window of the house . Mr McBurney, who lives at the home on a quiet residental street in County Antrim with his brother Shane, 20, is deemed a bright prospect for Irish rugby and played in Ireland U20's game vs France U20's (pictured above) One neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, described the incident as 'very worrying'. He told Belfast Live: 'It is fortunate the boys were not at home when these shots were fired into the living room because with that amount of shots flying about we very well could be talking about the death of one or two brothers, one of whom is one of the best young rugby stars in Ireland.' Adam McBurney is deemed one of the best young rugby stars in Ireland and there are hopes he will play internationally. The young player grew up playing for his local club Ballymena, and has also been associated with Randalstown RFC. He has since gone on to represent Ulster and Ireland and has been capped for the Ireland Under-20s – playing recently against Italy and France in their Six Nations campaign. He is also actively involved with the Belfast Met Rugby Academy- which blends intense professional rugby training with academic courses. Alongside rugby, McBurney works at Tullyglass House Hotel - an imposing country residence set in its own grounds on the outskirts of Ballymena. Another neighbour, Marie McKeown, 77, added: 'I heard the bangs and at first I didn't realise what it was. It woke me up. 'This is a very quiet area. I would be a light sleeper and I heard bang, bang, bang. I was shocked when I heard this happening. I hope it quietens down.' Following the attack, police cordoned off part of the housing estate and increased patrols in the area. It is believed, from the bullet casings found at the scene, that a nine-mm type weapon was fired with twelve rounds hitting the living room window and its frame. A further two strike marks were visible on the wall above the window. Bullets lodged in the kitchen and in the bathroom walls suggest that anyone who might have been in either room at the time of the shooting would most likely have been killed or suffered serious injury. Mr McBurney, who played for his local rugby club Ballymena before going on to represent Ulster and Ireland, inherited the property with his brother when their mother Heather died in December 2013. Anyone with information about the incident should contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. | Adam McBurney's home targeted by gunman who fired through windows .

Hundreds of foreigners have been evacuated from Yemen after weeks of fierce fighting in the war-torn country. China's navy rescued 225 foreign nationals and almost 600 Chinese citizens from the danger zone in an unprecedented move by its military.

It came the same day Saudi-led war planes made a weapons drop in Aden following a fortnight of fighting between rebel forces and a Saudi-led coalition that has seen hundreds killed. On Thursday, Yemeni rebels seized President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi's palace as Al-Qaeda militants freed hundreds of inmates in a jailbreak.

The Chinese missile frigate Linyi brought those displaced to Djibouti in the Horn of Africa, where the took flights home. It was carrying out anti-piracy patrols off the coast of Somalia when it was diverted to Yemen to evacuate people trapped by the fighting. Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said it was 'a humanitarian relief action' taken at the request of 'relevant countries'. She said: 'It is also the first time the Chinese government has taken special action to help with the evacuation of foreign citizens in dangerous areas'. 'It fully demonstrates the spirit of internationalism and humanitarianism of the Chinese side'. Elsewhere, Al Qaeda fighters managed to seize a local army headquarters in Mukalla. The jihadists killed an unspecified number of soldiers and captured a large cache of military hardware, according to a security official.

A power outage temporarily blackened Washington, D.C. this afternoon, interrupting a State Department briefing and forcing the White House onto back-up generators. Traffic lights also went out in parts of the city. The chief spokesman for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue confirmed that the outage 'briefly had an impact on the White House complex' but it was 'back on the regular power source' by the time he began his briefing approximately an hour and a half later. 'Things are slowly but surely returning to normal at the White House complex,' Josh Earnest, White House press secretary, said, noting that he was in the Oval Office with the president when it happened, and it was barely noticeable.

The temporary power outage affected the State Department, the Department of Energy, the University of Maryland in College Park and other areas in the District of Columbia and Maryland . With traffic lights still out at a busy intersection not far from the White House, a Metro Police Department officer directs vehicles after an electrical blackout affected the city . Several Smithsonian museums were affected as well, including the Portrait Gallery, and guests were evacuated . The impact on the White House was 'minimal,' he said, but was unable to say how many offices in the West Wing were affected. The source of outage was not immediately known, but the Department of Homeland Security has said there's no evidence of malicious intent or terrorism related activity. A possible cause was an explosion at a power at a plant located in southern Maryland, according to the Associated Press. Power company Pepco told local news station WTOP that a dip in power in the transmission line at one of its Maryland stations was responsible. As of a 1:35 pm update, more than Washington-area customers - including government offices - had reported outages, Pepco said.

The outage lasted but a few seconds at the White House, as the government building immediately moved onto generators. Press Secretary Josh Earnest's regular briefing with reporters was pushed off schedule by more than an hour. An unrelated matter, said by the White House to be an 'unattended package,' forced the building into a temporary lock down, adding to delays. Other government agencies, including the State Department, were affected for longer periods of time than 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The State Department's acting spokeswoman Marie Harf was in the middle of her daily briefing when the blackout hit. She lit the room with her cell phone, photos posted to Twitter show, and ultimately had to cut it short. Oprah Winfrey also got caught up in the power outage while speaking at the Maya Angelou Forever Stamp Dedication at Warner Theatre in downtown D.C. The U.S. Capitol, the Justice Department, IRS, Department of Energy and several Smithsonian museums, as well as the city's metro system were also affected, according to reports. Both the National Air and Space Museum and the National Portrait Gallery were evacuated as a result. Some stations of the city's metro system were running on emergency lighting, CNBC reported, and the Capitol complex's power system also failed over to a generator. Oprah Winfrey was in the middle of a speech at a dedication ceremony for the Maya Angelou Forever Stamp when the lights went out on her at Warner Theater in downtown D.C. The power failure extended as far northeast of Washington as the University of Maryland's flagship location in College Park, located roughly 10 miles outside the heart of D.C.

Marc Gasol of the Memphis Grizzlies was heading back to the locker room after the team beat the New Orleans Pelicans 110-74 on Wednesday night. That's when he stopped to quickly chat with a young fan on the sidelines, who animatedly talked and pointed to Gasol before they exchanged a high five. This is the adorable moment Memphis Grizzlies player Marc Gasol and a special needs boy shared a quick chat and a high-five after a game . Gasol was walking back to the locker room after his team won when he stopped to talk with a very enthusiastic young fan on the sidelines . As Gasol walked away the delighted boy clutched his Grizzlies jacket to his chest as the biggest smile spread across his face. The young child is a devoted Grizzlies fan and popular with the players. Last year forward player Zach Randolph left the bench during the fourth quarter of a game to spend a minute with the boy, who was trying to get his attention from the audience, according to the Bleacher Report. When Randolph realized the boy wanted the warm-up shirt he was wearing, he stripped it off without hesitation and gave it to the fan before shooting him a thumbs up after he returned to his seat.

Waterloo, Iowa (CNN)Martin O'Malley and Jim Webb share little in common. Both Democrats are toying with a presidential run, both are facing long odds in that endeavor, and both shared a stage at the Polk County Democrats Awards Dinner in Des Moines, Iowa, on Friday night. But, as was evident at the dinner, that is where the similarities end. O'Malley is a former mayor and Maryland governor who seems most at home when he is pressing the flesh at events and introducing himself to anyone who would extend their hand. Webb, on the contrary, is a decorated Vietnam War veteran and former senator from Virginia who comes across as more stoic and, at times, uncomfortable with retail politics. Before the event, O'Malley confidently cruised the union hall. He took selfies with young environmental activists and chatted with sometimes tepid supporters who admitted their other political allegiances. "It is a marathon, not a sprint," one man told O'Malley, a nod to his long odds in the 2016 Democratic nomination process. "Yes, it is; it's a marathon," O'Malley responded. "Welcome to Iowa," said another man. "We hope to see you here more." O'Malley smiled, "Thanks a lot. I hope you do, too." Webb wasn't nearly as active, opting instead to stay close to his seat near the front of the venue and chat with a small group of people around him. As Webb cut into his sizable helping of pork, O'Malley was standing directly behind him, shaking hands. The former Virginia senator, after possibly seeing O'Malley making the rounds, did stand up and shake hands with a few of the diehard Democratic activists in the room. "Seven months old," Zach Smith, a new father, said of his baby boy, Noah. "I have a bunch of kids. The youngest one is 8 years old," Webb said. The baby looked up at the senator. "He is pretty calm," Webb remarked, himself calm. Despite coming from bordering states, Webb and O'Malley don't know each other. When they passed each other in a Des Moines hotel lobby on Friday morning, it was the first time the two had met. That said, the two Democrats find themselves in the same position. Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state who is set to announce her presidential bid Sunday, leads every national and state poll of the Democratic field. She has begun to build a sizable staff and is expected to have massive amounts of money to win the nomination. O'Malley and Webb are both looking up at her. In a March CNN/ORC poll (PDF) of national Democrats, only 1% said O'Malley and Webb were their top choice. In a January poll from Bloomberg Politics and the Des Moines Register (PDF), O'Malley was at 1% among Iowa Democrats, while Webb found himself at 3%. The speaking portion of the night further showed Webb and O'Malley's differences. Webb, who spoke before the governor, gave a more subdued, biographical speech that mentioned three areas he would focus on if he ran for president: Basic governance, economic justice and criminal justice reform. To the approval of the audience, Webb promised to come back to Iowa regularly. "I am committing to you right now," he said, "we are going to go over the whole state." And the biggest applause came near the end of his speech, when he urged his party to get back to talking about issues. "Money is ruining our political process," Webb said to a chorus of applause and "hear hear." O'Malley, on the other hand, gave a speech littered with intentional applause lines. At points, the governor would deliberately stop to allow for the silence to be filled with clapping hands. "When the American Dream is denied, our lives shrink, our hopes fade, and our days unfold not in the light of possibility but in the darkness of fear," O'Malley said, delivering the same stump speech he usually gives. "To make the dream true again, we must fight for better wages for all workers, so that Americans can support their families on what they earn." As the event wound down, Webb and O'Malley stuck around to shake more hands and meet people. O'Malley, who spent the previous day in Iowa, left Friday night for New York. Webb, who is in the midst of a four-day trip to Iowa, stayed in Des Moines and headlined a veterans event on Saturday morning in Waterloo. Webb regularly speaks about his service and appeared more at home at the event. He told war stories with young and old veterans and spoke at length about how the government could be doing more for veterans. He also touted his work on passing the 21st Century G.I. Bill of Rights, a 2008 act that expanded education benefits for veterans, and stressed that more needed to be done. "You want the next greatest generation, give them the same opportunity the the greatest generation had," Webb said to applause. "If you really want to thank them, hire a vet." After the event, Webb shook hands with people veterans who told stories about dropped benefits and problems with the Department of Veterans Affairs. He occasionally smiled and thanked people for coming on a sunny Saturday morning. Asked whether he enjoys the retail politics that is crucial in early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire, Webb smiled. Skepticism of retail politics is not new for Webb. As a one-term Democratic senator, Webb was rumored to loathe the burdens that came with campaigning, namely fundraising and retail politics. This time, he put on a rosy view. "This is the good part of it, "Webb said, with a laugh. "Talking to the media, that is not always the good part." | There are few similarities between Democrats Martin O'Malley and Jim Webb .
But they find themselves in a similar position as long-shot presidential hopefuls . | e3f8ceb7a6271bb978b2bb47978054f58390852e | [

A gay student in Louisiana says she is going to skip her senior prom because the school principal won't let her wear a tuxedo. Claudetteia Love, a senior and one of the top students at Carroll High in Monroe, said she was planning on going to the prom without a date and with a group of friends, but now she and her friends are staying away. Though a petition was started and signed by members of the senior class to allow Love to wear a tuxedo, it was not acted on by school faculty. Carroll High School senior Claudetteia Love will skip her senior prom after her Monroe, Louisiana, school's principal told her that she would not be allowed to wear a tuxedo . Principal Patrick Taylor told Love that the decision was dress-code related and that she shouldn't take it personally . 'I told my mom, "They're using me". They put me in all these honors and advanced placement classes so I can take all of these tests and get good grades and better the school, but when it's time for me to celebrate the fact that I've accomplished what I need to accomplish and I'm about to graduate, they don't want to let me do it the way I want to,'' she told The News-Star. The decision is part of the school's dress code and not anything personal, principal Patrick Taylor told The News-Star. Love's mother, Geraldine Jackson, said Taylor told her faculty members said they wouldn't supervise the April 24 prom if girls wore tuxes. 'That's his exact words. "Girls wear dresses and boys wear tuxes, and that's the way it is,"' she said. Love was going to go to the prom with a group of friends and no date, but all of them have decided not to go after Taylor made his rule. Love's mother said that she believes Taylor is 'taking his values and throwing them' on her daughter because she's a lesbian . 'I feel like he's taking his values and throwing them on my daughter because of what her preference is and what she represents,' Jackson added. Monroe City School Board President Rodney McFarland said Taylor's decision was discriminatory and he disagreed with it. 'Banning her from her prom just because of what she wants to wear - that's discrimination,' he said. 'As far as I know there is no Monroe City School Board policy saying what someone has to wear to attend the prom. You can't just go making up policies.' He said he planned to ask Superintendent Brent Vidrine to talk to Taylor. Love said that though she will skip her own prom, she hopes that she can make a difference for younger students. Love is a top-performing student at Carroll High School. She will represent the school at an annual scholars' banquet and has a full scholarship to Jackson State University once she graduates . 'There are other girls in lower grades than me, and I want for them when they come up to not to have to feel like they aren't accepted,' Love said. She added: 'I don't want them to feel like they are less of a person because people don't accept them. 'There are people in the world that won't accept you but they don't have to be so judgmental and make you feel like you're less of a person and that you shouldn't express yourself.' Last year, Love was one of a group of students presented in a Monroe City School Board meeting as part of the school's high achieving medical magnet program. She will represent the school at the annual Scholars' Banquet, an event for the top students in Ouachita Parish, and has a full scholarship to Jackson State University. | Claudetteia Love was planned to go to prom dateless with a group of friends .

(CNN)I've been a chef in some form or another since I was 14 years old, but I didn't become a food activist until much later. It was 2007, and a young girl my wife mentored was found rooting through the trash just to find something to eat. That inspired me to found Food Policy Action and become politically active in a range of food issues, from hunger to factory farms. Of course, I haven't been alone in this work. One of the biggest catalysts has been "The Meatrix," a 2003 animation parody based on "The Matrix" and produced by the GRACE Communications Foundation, which crystallized the public health risks and environmental harms of factory farming. Recently, "The Meatrix: Relaunched" came out. Much more than a comical redux, it's an important benchmark in the evolution of the sustainable food movement and compels us to look back at how far we've come over the last decade -- and how far we still have to go. A decade ago, concepts like "sustainable farming," "animal welfare" and "organic food" were considered fringe. While some consumers were beginning to take interest in where their meat and produce came from, public knowledge of sustainable food was limited. The standard gut-wrenching images of animal cruelty and sickly calves were ineffectual and mostly turned people off instead of urging them to make better food choices. Meanwhile, factory farms continued to reap large profits while producing subpar meat, polluting air and water resources, and damaging the public's health. To be sure, America's food system is complex, and some may argue that industrial farming has been a necessity to meet our country's food needs. However, the quality of our food has been sacrificed at this supposed altar of necessity, as industrial farms reap enormous profits that they direct toward lobbying rather than improving the quality of food they produce. In 2014 alone, the biggest meatpackers and their trade groups spent a combined $4.3 million on lobbyists. And it has paid off for them: Factory farms often avoid penalties for the damage they cause to the environment and public health; and they receive ridiculous subsidies from the U.S. government that totaled $58.7 million in 2012, according to the Environmental Working Group. These factors drive down the cost of industrially sourced meat at a rate that smaller farms can't keep up with. And since the actual costs of industrially raised meat are hidden, humanely raised meat appears expensive by comparison. That's neither fair nor safe. We all deserve to know where the food we eat comes from and that it is wholesome, and we need our elected officials to take a stand against big agri-businesses to quit letting them profit off of meat and produce that jeopardize the health of the environment and the public. It's time that consumer demand for sustainable and humane food trumps the power that industrial farms hold over our elected officials. The original "Meatrix" cartoon used pop culture references and family-friendly cartoons to educate consumers about the dangers of factory farming, compel them to make better food choices and spark a wave of online advocacy for better government oversight of big agriculture and meat companies. As a result, it became one of the first viral videos ever to effectively expose consumers to the realities happening behind the doors of industrial farms and the damage these facilities were doing to the environment, our public health and surrounding communities. The rise in consumer knowledge has led to an increased demand for sustainably sourced food that is healthier and tastes better. GRACE has relaunched the Eat Well Guide, an online directory of 25,000 sustainable farms, restaurants, food co-ops and farmers' markets that allows consumers to make better choices about the food they eat and provide for their families. And we at Food Policy Action have produced a legislative scorecard. We need to ask members of Congress to promote sustainable farming, not factory farms. We need them to support sensible food policies that ensure that everyone has access to food and water. Congress should vote against the DARK Act, which would block any federal or state action that required labels for foods made with genetically engineered ingredients even at the expense of the environment, public health and local economies. As more consumers are educated, they have the power to take action and call on elected officials to support sustainable farmers, not factory farms. Together, we can create a sustainable food system in America that is better for our environment and our health. | Tom Colicchio: "The Meatrix: Relaunched" is an important benchmark of the evolution of sustainable food movement .
But factory farms continued to reap large profits while producing subpar meat, polluting nature and damaging our health .

An Atlanta teenager is hospitalized with burns covering 70 per cent of his body after two other teens attacked him with a pot of boiling rice while he was sleeping. Damon Clay, 17, is in a medically induced coma in critical condition at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta after Monday's attack. Officers have arrested 19-year-old Quintavious Barber and 18-year-old Malik Morton for aggravated assault and cruelty to a child, among other charges. Damon Clay, 17, was left with burns covering 70 per cent of his body after two other teens attacked him with a pot of boiling rice while he was sleeping. He is now in a medically induced coma in critical condition . Relatives of the scalded victim said the two men accused him of stealing a PlayStation 3. Neighbors say the three teens were friends. 'They were friends. Everybody was supposed to be friends,' neighbor Laprell Grant told WSBTV. Kentaveus Watson, who is renting the apartment where the incident happened, said that he is friends with everyone who was involved in the attack and he's still shocked by the events that occurred. 'It scared me, really. Ever since it happened, I've been sleeping on the couch right where he got burned,' he said. Clay had been in jail for a burglary and was just released on a three-month program offered by a nonprofit in the area. Relatives of Clay (pictured) said that the two men who have been arrested for attacking him - 19-year-old Quintavious Barber and 18-year-old Malik Morton - accused Clay of stealing a PlayStation 3. Neighbors said the three men were friends . He was promised shelter and guidance by a minister in the program, but family members who did not want to be named said that that was not the case. 'He didn't have any supervision, none,' Clay's aunt told WSBTV. Clay did not go to a group home for shelter, but rather bounced from home to home of relatives and friends who were willing to take him in, family members said. 'I'd rather my nephew be in jail than to be here,' the aunt told WSBTV. Clay had been released from jail shortly before the incident and was bouncing from friends' and relatives' houses to sleep. He was at his friend Kentaveus Watson's apartment (pictured) when he was burned . | Damon Clay, 17, of Atlanta, has burns covering 70 per cent of his body .

Many people will know the feeling of spending hundreds of pounds on so-called 'miracle' products that claim to solve all-manner of beauty woes. While most of these products end up collecting dust in the back of a drawer, beauty has seen an insurgence of natural alternatives, with all-purpose ingredients such as coconut oil taking over in their place. One woman has promised to revolutionise beauty regimes with her creation of more than 100 products, all organic and natural, that can be concocted in your own kitchen. Fifi M. Maacaron's book, Natural Beauty Alchemy, contains over 100 ingredients which treat all-manner of skincare ailments such as acne, oil and dryness . Fifi M. Maacaron uses full-fat cream cheese in a face mask, which supposedly quenches the skin . Fifi M. Maacaron, 36, is a pharmacist and natural skincare expert who believes that natural alternatives are the way forward, especially in the midst of gimmicky expensive products. Maacaron, from Newport News, Virginia, created her book, Natural Beauty Alchemy, not only to showcase that there are inexpensive alternatives to store-bought products, but also to explain many myths surrounding skincare. For example, while cream-cheese is usually more used to seeing the top of a bagel, Maacaron proposes another use for it. Her Winter Rescue Mask is specially formulated for dry and weather-beaten skin and contains full-fat cream cheese. The 36-year-old author explains that the richness of the cheese will quench the skin and help protect it against weather-induced dryness. Apple cider vinegar has been cited as a great cleansing agent, and is included as an ingredient in the Subtle Bubble Shampoo . Sesame oil is another beneficial natural ingredient, containing antioxidants and is well-tolerated by most skin types, even the most sensitive ones . Apple cider is used in several of the recipes, in a toner for acne-prone skin and also in a shampoo - the acidic nature of the ingredient working as a great cleansing agent. Other recipes suggest alternatives to everything from cleansers to foot creams to even perfumes, which use a spread of natural products including green tea to rinse hair, potatoes for a face mask and coffee grounds for cellulite. Natural Beauty Alchemy was born when author Maacaron went on the search for a perfect product, and was shocked by the falsity of some store-bought products. She says: 'As I entered into my 30s, I felt that my skin needed more care. 'As a pharmacist, I read ingredients labels and many times I'd study each facial cream in the 'green and natural section' and come out empty handed and shocked at the extent of dishonesty and fraudulent marketing.' The natural skincare expert began formulating recipes herself and became a go-to for her friends and family. Honey and lemon juice are other products that are regularly featured as beneficial natural skincare ingredients . She explains: 'I reached a point where I was becoming a reference to friends and family and many would ask me for recipes. 'I've tried all of the recipes because I formulate them. I am a big fan of coconut oil and I include it in many formulations.' Maacaron's overarching argument simply rests at the fact that she finds natural products superior to store-bought products. She explains: 'In organic homemade products, skin irritants such as synthetic fragrances and dyes are left out. This helps soothe skin and avoid breakouts and makes us really love, enjoy and trust what we're applying on ourselves. 'Nature is pretty much a powerhouse with a lot of effective ingredients that do provide obvious results. I've seen people glow in just a week after switching to natural products. Many of them look younger, without fillers or botox.' Weather aggression is always noticeable, not only on hands, legs, and lips, but also on the face. This mask contains full-fat cream cheese, which will restore some of the skin’s lipid mantle and help protect skin against weather-induced dryness. The remaining ingredients will boost skin’s vitality and revive it. While wheat germ oil is extremely nourishing, moisturizing, and anti-aging, grapefruit juice will load your skin with antioxidants and vitamin C for a refreshed and younger-looking skin. Adding egg white is optional but strongly recommended if you wish to have proteins in your mask, as well. Prepare this formula when your skin feels dry and tight, or routinely during winter and harsh weather months. Ingredients . Instructions . 1. Allow the cheese to soften at room temperature—do not microwave. Flatten with a fork, and then add remaining ingredients one at a time while mixing with the fork. 2. Spread with a spatula on clean face and neck, directly or between double layers of precut gauze strips. (Prepare the gauze strips ahead of time by laying gauze in double layers and cutting four rectangles for the forehead and neck and four circles for the cheeks.) 3. Lie back or sit in a reclining chair and wait 15–20 minutes before removing gauze pads and rinsing off. 4. Repeat this mask on a weekly basis to sustain results and protect the skin. Follow with the application of daily moisturizer and a sunblock. This formula will transform concentrated liquid soap into a smooth and balanced hair shampoo. The argan oil restores shine and luster to dull hair. Ingredients . Instructions . 1. Mix the rosemary infusion and the vinegar. Then pour it into the soap base, in a thin stream, whisking very gently to prevent foaming. Blend in the argan oil, slowly, still whisking until all ingredients are well blended. 2. Use as a regular shampoo. This toner is named for its two key ingredients: vitamin C and cider. The acidic nature of apple cider allows skin to get rid of surface dead cells, while the vitamin C in lemon juice is a skin brightener that also acts as a powerful antioxidant; it can reverse sun damage and reduce wrinkles, for a more youthful look. Combined with the astringency of neroli and witch hazel in this formula, they will reduce oily secretions and help achieve a glowing and clearer skin. Ingredients . Instructions . 1. Start by dissolving the honey in ½ cup water. Add the remaining ingredients one at a time, mixing continuously. Then transfer to a bottle. 2. Shake well before each use. Using a cotton ball, apply to the face and neck in the evening. Rinse in the morning and wear sunscreen daily. This unscented oily serum is especially formulated for intolerant skin; it’s suitable for most skin types, however, and is a powerful moisturizer, packed with antioxidants. Sesame oil is a skin-friendly oil, well-tolerated by most skin types, even the most sensitive ones; it contains sesamol, which has antioxidant properties, as well as unsaturated essential fatty acids and many minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and iron. Grape seed oil is also a strong source of antioxidants and is a dry oil that absorbs quickly. This formula is kept simple by calling for ingredients that can be found in most grocery stores. Ingredients . Instructions . 1. Pour the oils into a glass bottle with a dropper, finishing with the vitamin E drops. 2. Close tightly and shake to blend the oils. 3. In the evening, after cleansing, and while the face is still moist, apply 2–3 drops to your hands, rub them together, and massage this serum onto your face and neck. | Fifi M.

It may look absurd, but a bizarre new dog grooming trend is beginning to take shape in Taiwan. The craze involves having your pet pooch shaped into a sphere or a square - with the desired effect being a more eye-grabbing and clean-cut look. In a method reminiscent of Edward Scissorhands's trimming of a hedge, canine hairdressers in the Taiwanese capital Taipei are giving particularly furry customers outlandish makeovers. Scroll down for video . What a square! A dog shows off Taiwan's bizarre new pet-grooming trend after having his fur cut in a square . Hairdresser Tain Yeh, 42, who runs a parlour in Taipei said: 'I am aware of the trend although we don't have much request for it here because it's very difficult to keep the shape. 'It came about because people were always looking for more impressive haircuts, and somebody came up with the idea of shaping the dog like a hedge.' Pictures of doe-eyed dogs with their shapely new cuts have proved extremely popular online prompting more owners to seek out the custom salons. Many are now opting for the cuts simply to get more likes and shares on social media sites. Ms Yeh added: 'The dogs don't mind, and the owners keep coming back for more. This sort of haircut needs a lot more maintenance then the regular type. 'It is also not suitable for all breeds. The dog needs to have plenty of hair to play around with so that you can shape it around the face and body.' Willing customers? Two more recently-groomed pooches stare sad-eyed into the camera as they show off new hairstyles . Getting the chop: Two dogs grimace as their fur is trimmed into hedge-like circles in a dog-grooming parlour in Taipei . The spherical look: This dog's owner has opted for the circular cut offered by salons in Taiwan . Fetching ear muffs: Many are now opting for the cuts simply to get more likes and shares on social media sites . | Craze has taken off thanks to owners posting pictures on social media .
Initial idea was to give the pets a more eye-grabbing and clean-cut look .
One dog salon worker in Taipei has insisted that 'the dogs don't mind' | 03228b2561a871603d9ead4097a318a0dd5b4de8 | [

Set side by side it’s hard to believe they’re the same person. One with his shy smile, steady gaze and dark hair. The other, five decades on, pouting beneath razor sharp cheek bones, sunken eyes and platinum blond hair. These exclusive pictures obtained by Daily Mail Online show dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon to the stars, Dr Fredric Brandt, the year he graduated from Frank H Morrell High, Irvington, New Jersey. They were taken at the age of 18, when he was, in his own words, just ‘a Jewish kid from Newark,’ and before he had transformed himself, in every sense, into the figure lampooned on Netflix show ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,’ with such devastating consequences. Scroll down for video . The way he was: These exclusive pictures obtained by Daily Mail Online show dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon to the stars, Dr Frederic Brandt, the year he graduated from Frank H Morrell High in New Jersey . Dispirited: The famed 65-year-old doctor was found hanged in his Miami home. He had been left ‘devastated’ by recent rumors comparing him to the grotesque character of Dr Franff in Tina Fey’s Netflix show . Changes: Five decades after his high school photo with his shy smile, steady gaze and dark hair, Dr. Brandt was pouting beneath razor sharp cheek bones, sunken eyes and platinum blond hair . It is two days since the famed 65-year-old doctor was found hanged in his Miami home. The City of Miami Police confirmed the suicide after Daily Mail Online broke the news earlier, and, according to those closest to Brandt, the doctor – who had been suffering from depression – had been left ‘devastated’ by recent rumors comparing him to the grotesque character of Dr Franff in Tina Fey’s Netflix show. Now, seen here for the first time, Dr Brandt’s High School photos provide a glimpse into his life before fame, fortune and fillers. The pictures, taken in 1967, show a hint of the smile that, according to the school’s yearbook earned him a reputation for his ‘infectious grin’ and saw him characterized by his sense of humor. Known as ‘Fred’ he was a popular and ‘scholarly’ student with, it was noted, the promise of a ‘medical career ahead.’ Born Frederic Sheldon Brandt in 1949, he was prolific in his High School achievements, posing in one photo alongside other award-winning students. Among his many accolades listed are Assistant Editor of High School magazine the Morellian, President of the Spanish Club, Vice President of the Debate Club, Vice President of the Political Science Club and a place on the National Honors Society. He was also an enthusiastic member of the Theatre Arts Society and Tennis team. He was also voted Most Ambitious and Most Talkative student. But, for all that, in one of his last interviews, given to the New York Times in March 2014, he recalled feeling very much that he was ‘more of a different child,’ as he grew up in the Weequahic section of Newark, New Jersey. He said: ‘I remember taking things apart as a kid, radios and other things. I was always questioning everything to see how it worked.’ In later life Dr Brandt accumulated vast wealth – he had hundreds of patients, saw as many as 30 daily with some paying as much as $7,000 a pop and had a staggering collection of modern art. But as a boy he grew up in modest circumstances, raised by parents who owned a candy store. Three years before he graduated and before these pictures were taken, when he was just 15 years old, Brandt’s father died from complications of juvenile diabetes. Seven years later, as he was entering his first year at medical school, his mother died unexpectedly. Loss: Three years before these pictures were taken, when he was just 15 years old, Brandt’s father died from complications of juvenile diabetes. Seven years later, as he was entering his first year at medical school, his mother died unexpectedly . Dr. Brandt was known for his ‘infectious grin’ and characterized by classmates as having a sense of humor. Known as ‘Fred’ he was a popular and ‘scholarly’ student with, it was noted, the promise of a ‘medical career ahead.' He was also voted Most Ambitious and Most Talkative student . The awards and accolades followed him from this 1967 yearbook through his professional career . Speaking to the New York Times last March he admitted: ‘It was a lot to process, but you just have to forge ahead.’ He certainly did. Immediately after high school he attended Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1971. He went on to graduate with his MD from Drexel University’s Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia in 1975. Dermatology was not his first love though it would be the speciality on which he settled and which earned him a client list including Madonna, Kelly Ripa, Stephanie Seymour and a constellation of other entertainment big hitters. As a student he loved oncology, nephrology, hematology and cardiology. The one area of medicine in which the life-long bachelor took no real pleasure was pediatrics. He explained: ‘You spent all your time calming patients down.’ Between 1976 and 1978 he completed his internship at New York University Veterans Administration before going onto specialise in dermatology at the University of Miami, 1978–1981. He set up a private practice in Miami and it was only in 1998 that an invitation to use a colleague’s New York office once a month to treat patients with ever evolving newly introduced facial fillers led Dr Brandt to his ultimate area of expertise.

Hurtful parody: According to those closest to Brandt, the doctor – who had been suffering from depression – had been left ‘devastated’ by recent rumors comparing him to the grotesque character of Dr Franff in Tina Fey’s Netflix show . Tina Fey takes a selfie with Maya Rudolph and Martin Short last February. Poignantly, given his own unhappy demise, Dr Brandt’s ambition in his work had always been, he said, ‘to restore a face to harmony,’ and ‘to keep people working and feeling vital and good about themselves.’ He built an empire on his work. As well as seeing his private patients, he hosted a weekly call-in show on Sirius XM radio, ran a company manufacturing his own line of skin creams and serums and appeared regularly on the speaking circuit proselytizing on his speciality at international medical conferences. Over the years Dr Brandt practiced what he preached. He became best known for his Y lifts in which fillers are injected below the cheekbones. And he regularly injected himself with Botox, Restylane, Perlane, Juvedem and Voluma leading to his own startlingly changed appearance - converted into cruel and undeniable parody on ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ as Dr Franff. The good life: In later life Dr Brandt accumulated vast wealth. He had a staggering collection of modern art. But as a boy he grew up in modest circumstances, raised by parents who owned a candy store . Played by Martin Short Franff’s transformation is so grotesque that he can barely utter certain words – including his own name. He is actually called Grant, rendering the veil of fiction between the character and Brandt even more gossamer thin. At one point the character is seen drinking from a surgical bag and reinflating his face after being punched. For Dr Brandt, who had always prided himself on being ‘a kind of pioneer in pushing the limits to see how things work and what the look would be,’ the humor, viewed through the prism of his depression, cut deep. There have been many tributes since his death Comedian and former The View star, Joy Behar, yesterday tweeted, ‘Dr Brandt was one of the sweetest, nicest, most generous people I have had the good fortune to meet & work with. He will be sorely missed.’ Morning show host, Kelly Ripa, posted: ‘My heart is breaking for the loss of Dr Frederic Brandt. My friend. You will be missed forever and in my heart even longer.’ | Photos obtained by Daily Mail Online show surgeon to the stars Dr Brandt, who hanged himself in Miami on Sunday, the year he graduated from his New Jersey high school .

Lewis Hamilton has described his champagne-spraying of a grid girl after the Chinese Grand Prix, which has drawn widespread criticism, as 'a fun thing'. One of the fundamental acts of Formula One has been brought into sharp focus over the past few days following Hamilton's win in Shanghai. In a typical moment of exuberance that comes with a victory for any driver, and following the playing of the national anthems, Hamilton grabbed his bottle of bubbly and for a fleeting moment turned it on grid girl Liu Siying. Lewis Hamilton says his champagne-spraying of a grid girl after the Chinese Grand Prix was 'a fun thing' F1 championship leader Hamilton walks in the paddock ahead of the 2015 Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix . Mercedes AMG Petronas's Hamilton (left) shares a laugh with Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo . Hamilton says he was just acting on his excitement after winning the Chinese Grand Prix . The pictures that followed appeared to show the Shanghai Institute of Visual Art graduate grimacing as the champagne hit the side of her head. The incident drew condemnation from Object, a campaign group against sexism, which condemned Hamilton's behaviour as 'selfish and inconsiderate', and called on him to apologise. Siying, however, has since defended Hamilton, remarking to the Shanghai Daily: 'It lasted for only one or two seconds, and I did not think too much about it at all.' She added: 'I think some foreign media are more sensitive about the topic compared to local media. 'I was just told by my employer to stand on the podium, and that's what I did.' Asked on Thursday about the matter ahead of this weekend's race in Bahrain, Hamilton was relieved to hear Siying's comments. Hostess Liu Siying appears to grimace as she's sprayed with the winners champagne in Shanghai . Siying says 'I did not think too much about it at all' after the Brit driver was criticised by an anti-sexism group . Siying laughs during the incident which she says the foreign media have been more sensitive about . Hamilton gets his own back from team-mate and rival Nico Rosberg after the pair finished one-two in China . The world champion said: 'I hadn't really heard too much about it until today. 'Obviously when you arrive (at the circuit) you get a debrief as to what has happened during the week, so fortunately for me it has not overshadowed my week. 'Ultimately it was a great weekend, and generally my actions are through excitement. 'This is Formula One - the pinnacle of motor sport - and I'd just won a grand prix for the team. 'You should see it was a kind of a fun thing. I would never ever intend to disrespect or try to embarrass someone like that. 'I don't really know the reasons why people have brought these things up. 'This is a sport so many people love, and the more we show character and fun it reflects how great this sport is, and that's what I try to do. 'It hasn't affected me, and it's nice to know the lady kind of wrote in. If she had wrote in and said she was really unhappy then perhaps I would be more concerned.' | Lewis Hamilton sprayed Liu Siying with champagne after win in China .

Any defender who saw Jack Grealish glide around the Wembley turf with composure beyond his years should think twice before deciding that kicking him off the pitch is the way to limit his effectiveness. Between the ages of 10 and 14, Grealish played Gaelic football to a high standard, even appearing at Croke Park five years ago in a match during half-time of a Dublin v Kerry senior game. On his debut for John Mitchels, a GAA club in Warwickshire, he received a mighty blow and appealed to the referee. ‘This isn’t soccer, Jack,’ he was told without pity. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Grealish idol Best scoring legendary goal for San Jose . Jack Grealish put in a dazzling performance as Aston Villa beat Liverpool in an FA Cup semi-final on Sunday . Villa fan Grealish takes on Liverpool's Emre Can at Wembley during the impressive 2-1 victory at Wembley . Grealish celebrates with Fabian Delph (left) and Gabby Agbonlahor (centre) in the Wembley dressing room . After progressing through the Villa youth ranks he had to give up the sport where opponents would kick him and stamp on his fingers, but the toughness remains. The 19-year-old was clobbered by two fouls against Liverpool in Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final win, picking himself up each time. He wears his socks rolled down to show he is unafraid of taking ferocious hits. As a 15-year-old he watched a Sky Sports special dedicated to George Best and saw the Manchester United great dribble through a forest of tackles to score. Best wore his socks round his ankles in defiance, and Grealish decided to do the same. Now there is an aspect of superstition to the practice although he does buy kid-sized shinpads to meet safety regulations. Grealish wears his socks around his ankles but has to buy kid-sized shinpads to meet safety regulations . Man United legend George Best also wore his socks round his ankles with Grealish deciding to do the same . ‘It’s just his style,’ said Villa manager Tim Sherwood. ‘If he performs how I think he can, he can dress how he wants. It’s not a fashion show. He is good and perhaps he knows he’s good. You know what he said to me when I told him he was playing? He just said: “Bout time!”’ Grealish, on Chelsea’s radar until agreeing a new deal earlier this season, recorded Sunday’s game and celebrated Villa’s win by going home to watch it twice more. He is refreshingly down-to-earth. This evening Grealish will attend his nephew’s school cup final and present an award, bringing a pair of signed boots, too. Grealish joked 'about time!' when manager Tim Sherwood revealed he would be playing against Liverpool . Grealish and his Aston Villa team-mates celebrate as the club reached their first FA Cup final since 2000 . Grealish may draw a larger crowd after Sunday’s memorable Wembley debut in which he played a role in both Villa goals. There was also a breathtaking moment when he controlled a dropping ball, killing it dead with one touch. It showed why there is an international tussle between England and Ireland for his services. Watching proudly were dad Kevin, mum Karen, brother Kevan, and model girlfriend Sasha Attwood. They have been together since they were 14.

A young Grealish grins as he poses for a picture with former Aston Villa midfielder Paul Merson . All are mad Villa fans, Kevin having bought season tickets for his sons since their infancy. Grealish first sat in Villa Park’s Doug Ellis stand when he was four. The claret-and-blue connection goes back generations. Billy Garraty, his great-great grandfather on his mum’s side, won the FA Cup with Villa in 1905. A picture of Garraty and his team still hangs in the family’s Solihull home. The FA Cup is the only major trophy Kevin has not seen Villa win. He was in Rotterdam in 1982 as Peter Withe’s goal won the European Cup for Tony Barton’s side.

But had Nottingham Forest not been under a transfer embargo on deadline day in February, this would be a different tale. Left out of squads by former boss Paul Lambert, Grealish was looking to go out on loan to continue his development. The Forest deal was in place but fell through. When Sherwood arrived things began to change. Grealish was selected for the huge relegation clash with Queens Park Rangers, and again at Tottenham. Grealish was selected for the relegation clash against QPR after Sherwood (left) took over at Villa Park . His next objective is to score. When he did that during a loan spell at Notts County last season — five times to help them avoid relegation to League Two — he looked to the skies with emotion. He lost baby brother Keelan to cot death 15 years ago this month. He also has two younger sisters, Keira and Hollie. Hollie has cerebral palsy and after the win at Tottenham, Grealish gave his shirt to a supporter he saw in a wheelchair. Grealish knows the hard work has only just started if he is to build on Sunday’s breakthrough performance. He has grafted hard to get to this point. Just don’t count on him pulling his socks up. | Jack Grealish impressed as Aston Villa beat Liverpool at Wembley .

Trevor Noah has moved on to become a US TV star, and he left behind a stunning South African physiotherapist to pursue his American dream, the Daily Mail Online can reveal. The new host of The Daily Show has separated from long term girlfriend Dani Gabriel after the pair had a heart to heart about his future plans. Noah has known Gabriel for at least four years and it’s believed they began dating early in 2014. The comedian quickly became smitten with the beautiful brunette and took her around the world to be by his side while on tour. But following behind-the-scenes talks earlier this year with Comedy Central – the producers of The Daily Show – it was clear Noah’s career was about to explode. Scroll down for video . Separated: Trevor Noah and his stunning South African girlfriend Dani Gabriel broke up after the pair discussed his future plans and exploding fame . Smooch: It's believed that the love birds started dating in early 2014 and have known each other for at least four years . Vacation: Noah and Gabriel, pictured here making silly faces while on holiday, reportedly separated a few months ago . Laughs: Though the pair split, a source close to Noah said that they are still friends, and Gabriel has said she 'couldn't be prouder' of her ex . Noah’s Lost in Translation comedy tour took him back to Cape Town from February 24 until March 1 and it’s likely he and Gabriel had a heart-to-heart during this time. Self-employed Gabriel, 28, runs her own physiotherapist practice in Cape Town and has several family members in the city meaning she will have been reluctant to relocate to America. A source close to Noah told Daily Mail Online: ‘Dani is an ex-girlfriend. They decided to go their separate ways and are not together anymore, they split a few months ago but are still friends.’ Despite the split Gabriel is still right behind Noah as he takes over from Jon Stewart in the biggest seat in world comedy. She told Daily Mail Online that she’s ‘very supportive’ of Noah’s newfound fame and has said she couldn’t be ‘prouder’ of her ex. And while previously little known Noah is set to become a household name for millions of people, Gabriel still doesn't see him as a ‘celebrity’. Speaking in Cape Town, she said: ‘Yes he’s going through this huge transition but at the end of the day he’s not a celebrity to me and he’s never treated himself like that and I don’t treat him like that, I don’t bring that in to my life.’ Gabriel was coy about their relationship and refused to discuss the split. She said: ‘I don’t need to show my support publicly for Trevor, it doesn’t need validating to anybody else besides me and him. Anything that needs to be said I’ve said to him personally. Goofing around: Noah, pictured here with Gabriel making funny faces at the camera, was in Cape Town for his comedy tour at the end of February. It's likely the couple talked about their relationship at this time . Having fun: The couple had several pictures together on Facebook, and Gabriel had a picture of the pair kissing as her main profile picture until recently . Adventures: Gabriel told Daily Mail Online that she's 'very supportive' of Noah's new-found fame, but would not discuss their relationship . Smiles: Noah poses with a group of statues in one of Gabriel's many pictures of the two of them during their travels . ‘This world is not a very healthy one, so we can’t really involve ourselves in it now regardless of how big it is. ‘It doesn’t make a difference to my life. I don’t talk about my stuff, Trevor doesn’t talk about my stuff. ‘There’s really nothing more that I need to say, whatever’s there is there, beyond that, it is genuinely between me and him.’ But it's clear that Gabriel has struggled with the split, keeping her Facebook status as ‘in a relationship’ and keeping a large photo of the couple kissing on her home page wall. However, the physio quickly changed her wall photo to one of three pretty dresses when Daily Mail Online asked why she kept Noah’s picture on display now they've split. It’s a sad turn of events for the couple who had seemed madly in love. In January it was suggested the glamorous pair was even engaged – rumors Gabriel was quick to quell on Twitter. Dozens of intimate photos posted on their social media pages also gave the appearance of a couple very much in love. Noah, 31 – originally from Soweto near Johannesburg – even bought a love nest in Cape Town so he could be close to Gabriel during visits. Local media reports claimed the jet-setting comic snapped up a luxury penthouse apartment in the exclusive 15 on Orange Hotel in Cape Town’s city-center. Staff at the hotel – which boasts a roof top swimming pool and spa - say they spotted Noah at his apartment as recently as last Friday during a brief visit to Cape Town. Strong: Gabriel, who runs her own physiotherapy practice in Cape Town, is also a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and has won gold medals in competitions . It’s believed Noah and Gabriel also bonded over their similar backgrounds in that they both have parents from different ethnic backgrounds against the backdrop of Apartheid in South Africa. Noah was born the son of a black South African woman and a white Swiss man who met when interracial relationships were illegal in South Africa. Gabriel runs her D Gabriel Physiotherapy practice out of the posh Virgin Active gym in Century City, Cape Town. And fortunately for Noah their split wasn’t a fiery affair as Gabriel is a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. She became ‘hooked’ on the grappling based martial art in 2011 as she opened her practice and trains at the renowned Renzo Gracie Jiu Jitsu Academy. In June 2013 she won two gold medals for Gi and no-Gi in a Jiu Jitsu competition at the Mother City Winter Open. In a testimonial on a Jiu Jitsu enthusiasts’ site Gabriel says she has ‘trained hard’ and competed in various events around Cape Town to earn her blue belt. She has also trained at the Roger Gracie Academy in London and the Renzo Gracie Academy in New York while she was travelling with Noah. Jet-setting: When Noah brought Gabriel on tour last year, the couple posted selfies in front of several landmarks on Instagram . When she was in New York she got to meet Renzo Gracie, in person. Gabriel posted a photo on her Twitter feed posing next to the world-renowned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu expert. And she is so crazy about the sport that during a trip to LA in August last year with Noah she dropped in on the Metamoris 4 Jiu Jitsu tournament. She told unan1mous.co.za: 'I genuinely love the sport and how it constantly challenges and equips your brain as much as your body. ‘More than anything, it gives you a universal language that gains you an instant family/home base when traveling. Just remember to pack in your gi and you’re good to go!’ During Noah’s US tour last year Gabriel posted loved-up couple selfies of them seeing the sites in New York and Washington on Instragram. On September 29 last year Gabriel tweeted the cover of GQ magazine featuring Noah. She wrote: ‘Oh, you know... Just perving over my bf on the new @GQdotcoza cover.’ Gabriel also regularly retweeted her boyfriend’s Twitter jokes and show dates and is a big fan of Daily Mail Online often posting stories from our site. And on January 27 this year while Noah was in America, Gabriel, who was clearly missing her boyfriend, tweeted: ‘Hey New York, get your s****together so my man can fly home. I need help opening this jar ;(.’ Judging by the photos they had shared, the pair would have made the perfect celebrity couple, especially if Gabriel had made the move to be by her man’s side in the States. On Valentine’s weekend last year Gabriel posted a series of stunning shots of them together on a boat sailing around the Cape Peninsula with Noah’s good friend, South African radio DJ Anele Mdoda and her boyfriend. Support: Even after the couple split, Gabriel has been supportive of Noah, having tweeted a proud message after it was announced that Noah would be Jon Stewart's replacement on The Daily Show . But after their split Gabriel was supportive. As recently as March 30, after news broke that Noah was Jon Stewart’s replacement, Gabriel tweeted: ‘I knew you had it in you and they saw it too Now the world gets to share it. Couldn't be prouder.’ But perhaps the writing had always been on the wall. Interestingly, while things seem to be going amazingly well in their relationship, Daily Mail Online has learned that Noah never introduced Gabriel to his family in Johannesburg. Mom Patricia, 56, revealed: ‘I’ve not met her, I don’t know anything about the two because Trevor hasn’t told me. ‘I leave the kids to enjoy themselves, I don’t ask about such things. As a mother I ask one favor from my sons, “keep your women away until you decide to settle with them”.' Patricia said one of Noah’s other ex-girlfriends was ‘controlling’ over him. ‘She was a German girl and I saw her and I really liked her, I was hooked. But then it was broken. She was very controlling over Trevor and he didn’t like that,’ she said. Even Noah admitted during an interview that one of his ex girlfriend’s tried to stop him from going in to comedy. He told Interview magazine in May, 2013: ‘I was dating her and I said, "I want to be a comedian." And she said, "You're not that funny, don't be stupid." So I said, "Okay." And I didn't do it. Then, after we broke up, I thought, This is the perfect time to do everything I couldn't do when I was with her, like date other girls and do comedy. So I did.’ | Trevor Noah was in a relationship with South African beauty Dani Gabriel but the couple have split in recent months .
He took her around the world to be by his side on his tour last year .
It was even rumored in January that the madly in-love couple were engaged .
But Gabriel, 28, runs a physiotherapist practice in Cape Town and has family in the city meaning she will have been reluctant to relocate to America .
She still remains supportive of Noah and 'couldn't be prouder' of him . | c82e53521d967fb360aebe724816e4ce6b330fec | [

More than 30,000 cases of the country's most popular hummus dip are being recalled after Sabra, the manufacturer, said they could be contaminated with listeria. The company said the total number of containers in the recall comes to 'approximately 30,000.' Only five batches of hummus are being recalled - and only the company's Classic Hummus. 'This measure is limited to five SKUs of Classic Hummus sold nationwide,' Sabra Dipping Co. said in a release. 'To date, no other Sabra product is affected by this recall.' Scroll down to see the batches of hummus being recalled . Listeria concerns have led to thousands of Classic Hummus containers being part of a voluntary recall, Sabra Dipping Co. said Monday . The company said that 'The potential for contamination was discovered when a routine, random sample collected at a retail location on March 30th, 2015 by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.' The positive test happened at a Kroger in Port Huron, Michigan, a MDARD spokeswoman told the Detroit Free Press. The newspaper reported that Michigan officials contacted both the FDA and inspectors located in Virginia. Sabra has a production plant in Virginia's Chesterfield County. Sabra Dipping Co. said that customers will be refunded if they return the products to stores. Both supermarkets and food service accounts had received products, the company said. The company said 'Listeria monocytogenes is an organism, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. 'Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.' The company said it has so far not yet received any sickness reports. On its website, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says about 260 people are killed each year by listeriosis, and about 1600 people get sick. Antibiotics are used on those who get listeriosis. Prevention methods include rigorously washing both produce and kitchen equipment; cleaning kitchen and food storage areas; rigorously cooking poultry and meats; storing food as soon as possible; and avoiding both unpasteurized milk and food products that include it as an ingredient, according to the agency. For a full list of steps you can take to reduce the risk of listeriosis,visit the CDC's website. The company said 'To date, there have been no reports indicating that these products have caused any illness' (file photo) | Listeria concerns have led to thousands of Classic Hummus containers being part of a voluntary recall, Sabra Dipping Co. said Monday .

A mother whose boyfriend is accused of repeatedly raping her 10-year-old daughter abandoned the girl at her grandparents' home before moving back in with the man, it has emerged. The child, Corinne Gump, and her grandparents were killed in a massive house fire in the early hours of Monday, just hours before Robert Seman, Jr., 46, was to go on trial for allegedly sexually abusing the girl over several years. After the three bodies were found in the home in Youngstown, Ohio, police went to Seman's home and found Corinne's mother, Lynn Schmidt, WKBN reported. She was taken to the police station to be interviewed but she has not been arrested. Loss: Corinne Gump, 10, and her grandparents were killed in a house fire on Monday - the day her mother's boyfriend was set to go on trial for raping her. Her mother is pictured heading to the police station, right . Left behind: Her mother, Lynn Schmidt, reportedly left the girl with her grandparents and went back to her boyfriend's home, even after she knew he was accused of sexually assaulting her daughter . It has emerged that, following the rape allegations against Seman, Schmidt and her daughter moved in with her parents, Judy and Bill Schmidt, but she eventually headed back to her boyfriend's home. Seman was under electronically-monitored house arrest at the time of the deadly fire but he was taken back into custody on Monday, accused of trying to bribe a witness in the rape case. Investigators said they have found no evidence that the origin of the blaze was suspicious but that they continue to investigate and his trial has been postponed. Corinne Gump and her grandparents, 61-year-old Judy and 63-year-old Bill, who were both deaf, lost their lives in the early-morning blaze after neighbors reported hearing loud explosions. 'It was fully involved,' Fire Chief John O'Neill told The Youngstown Vindicator. 'We had quite a bit of fire in the basement, so that's the likely origin. They had fire all through the house, top to bottom. The floors were giving way almost immediately upon entry.' Accused: Robert Seman, Jr., 46, was back in custody on Monday (pictured) after it emerged he allegedly tried to bribe a witness in the case. He was under house arrest and electronic monitoring at the time of the fire . Taken away: Seman, who allegedly raped the young girl over several years, remains in custody . The three bodies were found on the second floor; all were out of their beds and the way their bodies were positioned looked as if they were trying to get out, Fire Chief John O'Neill told The Vindicator. It is not yet clear if they had smoke detectors in the home. Smoke detectors for the hearing-impaired can send vibrations, sound or light to alert residents. Steve Leland, director of Easter Seals Youngstown Hearing and Speech Center Community Center, told the Vindicator that the local deaf community is mourning the loss of the couple. 'Bill and Judy were always willing to talk to parents who'd just found out they had a deaf child,' he said. 'They would often discuss options for raising a deaf child, talking about their own personal life experiences, being deaf themselves, and raising deaf children.' The couple had three children, two of whom are deaf. William Schmidt was a retired AT&T lineman, while his wife taught deaf people sign language, the publication reported. 'They were very outgoing, very sweet people, always ready to help,' Leland added. Battle: Firefighters pulled the three bodies from the second floor of the home on Monday morning . Destruction: Fire officers said the blaze quickly ripped through the home from bottom to top. But they said there was no evidence that the cause of the fire was suspicious . Questions: Fire Captain Kurt Wright and a State Fire Marshall look into the back of the house on Monday as an investigation continues into the cause of the fire. Neighbors reported hearing explosions . Corinne was a 4th grade student at South Range School, where officials have assembled a crisis team to counsel students and staff affected by the tragedy. Seman, himself a father of a two-year-old, had been accused of abusing Corinne from when she was just four years old until she was eight, WFMJ reported, citing an indictment from a year ago. His trial has been delayed in light of the deaths but no new date has yet been set. Prosecutors are hoping to convince the judge to allow statements the girl made to a social worker and a nurse before her death. He has been charged with four counts of rape and four counts of gross sexual imposition and could face life in prison if convicted.

Her mother's boyfriend, Robert Seman, 46, was set to go on trial later that day for allegedly molesting her over four years .
Seman was under house arrest at the time but was taken into custody on Monday in connection with an alleged bribe, not the fire, police said .
Investigators said they have found no evidence that the cause of the fire was suspicious .
Her mother, who was found at Seman's home, has also been questioned . | 3ee00f21578d17b586a9b175067da15e91328e36 | [

Barcelona will offer £50million for in-demand Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, and plan to let him stay in Italy for a year on loan. Spanish press reports indicate Chelsea are their only rivals for the Frenchman's signature. Pogba is one of Europe's most in demand young talents but Spanish paper SPORT say that the leaders in La Liga and the Barclays Premier League are the only two viable destinations for the 22-year-old Frenchman. With Barcelona currently under the restrictions of a FIFA-imposed transfer ban until the January window, Pogba would have to be loaned back to Juve until the 2016-17 season as part of any prospective deal. SPORT say Barcelona will make a £50m offer for Paul Pogba while Marca look at the race for La Liga . Pogba is said to be the subject of a £50m bid from Barca with Chelsea their only realistic transfer rivals . Lionel Messi returned to training for Barcelona after a foot problem ahead of facing Celta Vigo . SPORT claim that Pogba has listened to Barca's offer but is yet to decide on his future with four years remaining on his contract with the Italian champions. The Catalan daily also say that Lionel Messi has recovered from a problem with swelling on his foot to start for Barca in their return to La Liga against Celta Vigo on Sunday after making it through a training session unscathed. Also in Spain, Marca look at Real Madrid's quest to overhaul their perennial rivals at the top of La Liga. They say that if Real win their final 10 games to take a total points haul of 94, they can count on winning the title. That might be easier said than done, however. No team has won their last 10 games in La Liga in the last decade, no matter how sure Real are that Barca will falter. L'Equipe look ahead to a big weekend in the French title race, A Bola pin Benfica's hopes on Nicolas Gaitan . David Luiz and PSG have made their way to the top of Ligue 1 but that position will be challenge this weekend . Marseille and their star striker Andre-Pierre Gignac will want to knock PSG off the top of the table . It's a huge weekend in France with Le Classique top of the bill, Lyon getting the opportunity to top the table and Monaco taking on St Etienne. With that in mind, L'Equipe go with the headline: 'The hunt is on'. Champions PSG are still in with a shout of an unprecedented treble, sitting top of Ligue 1 with eight games to go, in the semi-finals of the French Cup and having reached the last eight of the Champions League. But their abilities are certain to be tested on Sunday night in a first vs third clash against Marseille at a packed 67,394-capacity Stade Velodrome. A difficult April schedule makes it important that PSG stay top of the table in Marseille, having struggled to maintain a title challenge for much of the season. Gaitan is viewed as the key man for Benfica as they look to open up a gap on Porto in Portugal . Manager Jorge Jesus said Gaitan is a star of different characteristics to his other players, with no equal . With nearest rivals Porto faltering, A Bola in France focus on Nicolas Gaitan's position as Benfica's leader as they look to wrap up the Primeira Liga title in the coming weeks. Benfica boss Jorge Jesus said of Gaitan: 'Nico is a player of different characteristics, we have no equal to him. 'He's a player with a lot of influence and he can be with us for many years. He is a leader on the pitch and it's good to know that he will be with us.' Benfica face Nacional on Saturday hoping to keep up their excellent home form which has seen them concede just two goals at the Estadio da Luz all season. The Italian papers have gone big on the race for a place in next season's Champions League . Carlos Tevez (left) could add PSG to his list of clubs if reports in the Italian press are to be believed . Finally, the Italian papers are going big on the race with the Champions League. Both Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport look to Saturday's Roma-Napoli showdown as the first of a few clashes to decide the placings at the top of the table come the end of the season. Corriere also note that PSG could be a possible destination for Pogba, and that they are looking for a double swoop on Juventus with Carlos Tevez also a target. There is also a small mention for how Carlo Ancelotti could return to manage AC Milan from Real Madrid if the Spanish club call time on their Italian manager. | Spanish paper SPORT say Barcelona want to sign Juventus' Paul Pogba .

'Plus-size' model Laura Wells has revealed the extreme dieting measures taken by her model roommates to prepare for Fashion Week. The size 14 beauty lived with a group of standard 'skinnier' models during her stint working in New York, and says that their agents instructed them to stick to a diet of 'one cracker and a couple of glasses of water'. 'It goes to the extremes,' Wells told the Australian Women's Weekly. 'No food being eaten, prescription dietary pills, agents telling girls that they're only allowed to have one cracker and a couple glasses of water leading up to fashion week per day.' Scroll down for video . Shocking: Laura Wells (left) spoke to Australian Women's Weekly about the pressure put on her 'skinnier' model room mates to not eat ahead of Fashion Week . 'It's completely unhealthy, not only for their body but mentally as well.' Laura told AWW editor Helen McCabe that her model friends would then compare themselves to her, who was working non-stop despite eating what she likes. 'These girls are going to extremes to look like that, and then not being booked for any jobs,' she said. 'And then living with a plus size model who's working every single day and comparing themselves to me. 'I eat healthy, I work out, but I'll let myself have a treat every now and then and have a glass of wine. Healthy and happy: Wells says her room mates, who struggled to book jobs, compared themselves to her as she was highly in-demand despite allowing herself treats . 'They couldn't fathom the fact that they were putting themselves through so much stress and I was so happy with myself.' Wells' comments comes days after France passed legislation banning excessively thin models from participating in Paris Fashion Week. Agents and fashion houses that hire them could also face fines under the new law, which was passed on April 3. The move by France, with its fashion and luxury industries worth tens of billions of euros, comes after a similar ban by Israel in 2013, while other countries, like Italy and Spain, rely on voluntary codes of conduct to protect models. Diet: Laura (pictured with Sarah Wilson, right) revealed that there was 'no food being eaten, and prescription dietary pills' being consumed by her model friends in New York . The measure is part of a campaign against anorexia by President Francois Hollande's government. Lawmakers also made it illegal to condone anorexia and said any re-touched photo that alters the bodily appearance of a model for commercial purposes must carry a message stating it had been manipulated. 'The activity of model is banned for any person whose Body Mass Index (BMI) is lower than levels proposed by health authorities and decreed by the ministers of health and labour,' the legislation says. The lawmaker behind the bill previously said models would have to present a medical certificate showing a BMI of at least 18, about 55 kg (121 lb) for a height of 1.75 metres (5.7 feet), before being hired for a job and for a few weeks afterwards. Dangerous: Wells' comments come days after France passed a law banning excessively thin models from the catwalk, with agents and fashion houses to face fines and imprisonment if they don't comply . The law, voted through the lower house of parliament by Hollande's Socialist majority despite opposition by conservative parliamentarians, envisages imprisonment of up to six months and a fine of 75,000 euros ($82,000) for any agency contravening it. In the AWW video interview, Laura Wells recalls wanting to 'punch' a model scout when they suggested she could get work as a plus-size model. The 177-centimetre beauty was studying science and law when she was spotted in New York City by talent scouts in 2005. She said she felt insulted the first time she was asked to be a plus-sized model because of her misconceptions about the term. 'I thought they were calling me fat': Laura also revealed that she was initially insulted by the suggestion she should be a plus-size model, and admits she wanted to punch the model scout . 'I wanted to punch everyone in the face... [I thought] basically they were calling me fat,' Wells said. 'That was my perception of the word 'plus size', that people were calling me 'fat'.' Wells said while she was a plus-sized model who was defined as someone who was 'four to six sizes bigger than a standard model', she was not 'plus-sized in reality'. Since then Wells has gone to model for Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Myer, David Jones, Berlei and ASOS. Despite her career breakthroughs, she thinks people's perception of body image still has a long way to go. 'It's slowly changing but not to the extent where it needs to be,' Wells said. 'It needs to be at the point where it's celebrated anymore... Why isn't it just seen as normal?'

He has been a colossus of the game. He has made 700 professional club appearances and won 81 caps for England, six Premier League titles, the FA Cup and the Champions League. In his pomp, he was the stuff of strikers' nightmares, driving some of the world's greatest goalscorers to distraction with lightning-sharp reactions and an instinctive reading of the game. That's why it's such a shame that what is likely to be Rio Ferdinand's farewell year in the English game has fizzled out. Rio Ferdinand pictured in training at Queens Park Rangers last week. The 36-year-old defender started regularly in the first part of the season but has been unable to hold down his spot in the side . Ferdinand started the first seven matches of QPR's Premier League campaign before being dropped . Ferdinand has enjoyed a fantastic career, winning six Premier League titles, but a fairytale finish is unlikely . Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs lift the European Cup for Manchester United in Moscow back in 2008 . Ferdinand also won 81 caps for England during his glittering career . He would love to be out there, hunting down and hassling opponents, robbing attackers of the ball, winning the aerial duels, playing his part in Queens Park Rangers' survival mission. Keeping them up would be a fitting curtain call. Instead, Ferdinand's season has been one spent on the margins - either suspended, benched or out of the squad altogether. Once again, the 36-year-old was forced to watch on from the sidelines as Rangers claimed a potentially crucial point away to Aston Villa on Tuesday night. Ferdinand had picked up a slight knock and was ruled out. He has played just five times since the start of October - not much of a swansong. On Sunday, he posted a Twitter picture of a pile of chicken bones after lunch at his mum's. He had not been involved in the 4-1 win at West Brom 24 hours earlier and it weirdly seemed to sum up his peripheral role at the moment. By contrast, Ferdinand had started QPR's first seven games of the campaign, lasting the full 90 minutes in all of them. Harry Redknapp had grand plans and the best of intentions last summer. Having called time on his Manchester United career after 12 trophy-laden seasons, Ferdinand moved to Loftus Road in what Redknapp described as a 'remarkable coup for the club.' Harry Redknapp described Ferdinand's signing last summer as a 'remarkable coup' for the club . But after initial promise, Ferdinand has largely spent the season on the bench . Premier League (6): 2002-03, 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09, 2010-11, 2012-13 . FA Cup (1): 2003-04 . Football League Cup (2): 2005-06, 2008-09 . FA Community Shield (5): 2003, 2007, 2008, 2011, 2013 . Champions League (1): 2007-08 . FIFA Club World Cup (1): 2008 . Even in his mid-thirties, Redknapp believed Ferdinand would bring 'quality, class, experience and know-how' as QPR returned to the top flight. He envisaged Ferdinand in a sweeper role, the central pivot of a three-man defence in an in-vogue 3-5-2 system. He would bring all that experience to bear, helping Clint Hill and Steven Caulker keep opposition attacks at bay. Unfortunately, it just didn't work. In their first seven Premier League games of the season, QPR won one, drew one and lost five. They leaked 15 goals and the scale of their task in staying in the top division was clear. Ferdinand was demoted to the bench, Richard Dunne and Nedum Onuoha were introduced and the dye was cast for the season. His suspension for using the word 'sket' in a tweet didn't help and by the time that was served, Ferdinand was down the pecking order. Ferdinand has shown glimpses of his imperious best for QPR this season . But Ferdinand's farewell season in English football has not lived up to his expectations . Chris Ramsey has played Ferdinand on three occasions since taking over from Harry Redknapp . Queens Park Rangers find themselves two points from safety after their 3-3 draw at Aston Villa on Tuesday . As you would expect, Ferdinand has conducted himself like a model professional on the training ground, maintaining his fitness in case he was called upon. And there have been such occasions, notably the 2-0 win at Sunderland in February - Chris Ramsey's second game in charge after replacing Redknapp, that ended QPR's 11-game losing run on the road. Ferdinand may yet be called upon again in the run-in, with QPR sitting two points shy of safety, but the season so far will have fallen short of his hopes and expectations. That fairytale finale, with Ferdinand leading an heroic resistance to keep Rangers in the Premier League, seems unlikely. There are rumours that clubs in the money-soaked Qatar Stars League are preparing to tempt Ferdinand with one final payday but that remains to be seen. For now, Rio's farewell has sadly fallen a bit flat. The fixtures remaining for the bottom six in the Barclays Premier League . | Rio Ferdinand missed 3-3 thriller with Aston Villa through injury .

(CNN)It lays claim to being the most isolated human settlement on earth, a volcanic archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean, home to just under 270 people. Now, the tiny settlement of Tristan da Cunha is seeking the help of architects and designers the world over to secure its future well into the 21st century. With the help of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the UK overseas territory is holding an international competition to improve aging infrastructure and make the island self-sustainable as it approaches the 200th anniversary of its settlement. As a sign of just how removed Tristan da Cunha is from the rest of the world, there are only seven family names on the islands. Those who live there are mainly the descendants of Dutch, American and Italian sailors as well as 19th century British explorers. There are also a handful of expatriate Brits. But watching hit TV series "Lost"or reading up on William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" won't be required research for competition entrants. Instead, those with experience of renewable energy in remote regions, modern housing and developing cost-effective agrarian systems are encouraged to apply. "The competition is looking at enhancing the built environment on the island (and) making all structures more energy efficient," the island's administrator, Alex Mitcham told CNN when visiting the UK recently. Mitcham explained that most existing homes and public buildings on Tristan da Cunha are small, bungalow-type structures made from made from a mix of concrete and local volcanic rock. Few have simple insulation that can lead to energy savings while the infrastructure for things like renewable power generation and internet provision remain limited. The island is also only accessible by sea 60-days-a-year through a small port in its only town, Edinburgh of the Seven Seas. According to James Porter of RIBA Competitions, contestants will have to factor in irregular design questions such as "how can we get the material ashore and how can we actually think of ways that we can put things together once there?" "There are limitations on the amount of cargo that can be trans-shipped," he added. In total, Tristan da Cunha is made up of four islands. Tristan is the largest land mass and the only one to house people. Two more unpopulated islands, Nightingale and Inaccessible, lie close by. A third, Gough, is situated roughly 230 miles away. Both Gough and Inaccessible are UNESCO World Heritage sites. The closest mainland port is Cape Town, South Africa, some seven days sailing time and 1,750 miles north-east. Tristan already has a pub, shop, cafe, dance hall, museum, catholic church and swimming pool. There are also two expatriate doctors, two Tristanian nurses and school teachers with some 30 students of varying ages. The island's main industry is lobster fishing, with exports reaching as far afield as the U.S., Australia, Japan and the EU thanks to a fishing company that has exclusive rights to fish in the surrounding waters. Tristan earns additional income from the sale of unique stamps, coins and handicraft souvenirs, Mitcham explained. Modest revenue also flows from tourism and visitor accommodation. "As it is the remotest inhabited island in the world, the Tristanians are already very self sufficient, being able to produce many of their own foodstuffs (like fish, livestock and potatoes)," Mitcham said. However, the cost of living has increased in recent years, he added. With limited transport and communication links, the islanders are also keen to see how they can reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, improve the energy efficiency of properties and reduce imports. "We are slowly updating 40-year old infrastructure," Mitcham said of the last time the island experienced a major redesign. That modernization happened roughly a decade after the island was evacuated temporarily due to ongoing volcanic activity. Before that period, the main way for the islanders to communicate with the outside world was by Morse code. Things have already changed a lot since then, however. "A new water system, electrical system and waste water system have just been completed," Mitcham said. "And with the 200th Anniversary of the founding of Tristan (2016) almost upon us it is an appropriate time to look at new initiatives that may be able to help the future viability of the community." Interested architects have until mid-June to submit their initial ideas. The best will be whittled down to an initial 20 and then five after further analysis between June and September. Porter and Mitcham say the islanders will have to apply to the UK and possibly the EU for grants to fund the project. The winner is penciled in to be announced in June 2016. The most important aspect for applicants is to "identify cost-effective and practical solutions to improve the energy efficiency (through renewable energy sources) of properties," Mitcham said "as well as modernizing ... government structures." | Tristan da Cunha holds competition for architects and designers .

Tough stance: Health minister Marisol Touraine wants to impose fines and prison sentences for inciting binge drinking . They look down on our food, our weather and even our language. Now France has cocked a snooty nose at our drinking habits, too – and is blaming us for exporting them across the Channel. French health chiefs say the UK is responsible for causing a sharp rise in the number of youngsters who binge-drink. It has slammed the practice of going out to get drunk as an 'Anglo-Saxon phenomenon' and says it is being copied by increasing numbers of youths on the continent. But critics have said it's a case of double standards for a country where children are encouraged to drink wine at the table from a relatively early age. The latest figures reveal that almost half of French 18 to 25 years olds have consumed alcohol with the sole aim of getting drunk – compared to 33 per cent ten years ago. The rise in binging is particularly high among young women, soaring from eight per cent who admitted they had done it in 2005, to three times that number by 2015. Now France's state health watchdog has claimed the sharp increase is due to French youths copying the English. Francis Bourdillon, head of the National Institute of Prevention and Health Education, said: 'This is an Anglo-Saxon phenomenon that's starting to creep into the generation of the 15-24-year-olds. 'Consumption of alcohol in France is particularly worrying among young people and especially among young women. 'Besides the obvious health concerns, binge drinking can also lead to violence against women, sometimes fatal drunken accidents, and unprotected sex.' Bad influence: French officials claim binge drinking is an Anglo-Saxon phenomenon, pictured here on TV programme Booze Britain . Sophisticated: French officials would prefer youngsters to move back to the more traditional pastimes such as a picnic lunch, after new figures revealed more youths are drinking solely to get drunk . The slur on the British comes in the same week that Health Minister Marisol Touraine presents her new health bill to the government, which includes reforms to crack down on France's binge-drinking culture. Ms Touraine said: 'We have to put a stop to drunkenness that does such damage to young people. 'This trend is a risk to their own health, and as a result puts an extra strain on the health service. 'Some may accuse the government of wanting to arrest people for having fun. But it is our job to encourage citizens to moderate their alcohol intake.' Her new law would impose fines of up to £12,000 for inciting someone under 18 to get drunk, and fines of £5,000 or six months in prison for inciting someone of any age to binge-drink. France's language watchdog the Academie Francaise has banned the English expression 'binge-drinking' from all government literature, ordering that the phrase 'beuverie express' be used instead. | French health chiefs say binge-drinking is 'Anglo-Saxon phenomenon'

(CNN)Two years ago in a less turbulent time, Mike Premeau and Kathy Danke launched a small business, Memories Gourmet Pizza Co., in their Wisconsin town. The two were successful in getting their line of frozen pizzas, including breakfast pizzas and gluten-free options, in stores across Nichols, west of Green Bay. They grew a base of loyal customers. But all that was threatened this week when people began mistaking them for Memories Pizza of Walkerton, Indiana, which made national headlines after its owners said they would refuse to cater a same-sex wedding. People posted angry comments on Memories Gourmet Pizza's Facebook page and called its phone number to protest. And almost overnight, Premeau and Danke found themselves thrust unwillingly into a national debate over Indiana's controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act. "My stomach was in my throat all afternoon," Danke told CNN affiliates WBND and WFRV. "All of a sudden, our Facebook page started getting flooded," Premeau said. "I was shocked. It was like I was a rat running around in a cage, wondering what's going on here." In a cruel coincidence, the flood of outrage began on Wednesday, April Fool's Day. "If I'm ever in the area, I'll be sure to starve to death before I give you and you intolerance any of my money!" wrote one commenter on Facebook. "I don't have much of a message, except that I hope your bigotry puts you out of business very quickly," a man said in a voice mail. Indiana pizzeria finds itself at the center of 'religious freedom' debate . Premeau thinks the firestorm was sparked by people Googling "Memories Pizza" and confusing the two businesses -- despite the fact that Nichols and Walkerton are in separate states and almost 300 miles apart. He and Danke tried to defuse the outcry with a Facebook post saying in part, "We are not that company in Indiana, nor do we agree or condone their words or actions." In response, they began getting messages of support on Facebook, along with a few sharp-tongued comments from supporters of the other Memories Pizza. Premeau said he also got a call from a man whose initial post may have set off the social media storm, apologizing for the mistake. Still, he worries that damage to his wholesale pizza business may have been done. "This misinformation and this defamation of character could cause me to lose the business over someone else's identity in another state," he said. | A Wisconsin pizzeria is harassed by people confusing it with one in Indiana .

A housekeeper who stole antiques and art treasures worth £500,000 – including a work by Picasso – from a wealthy countess was yesterday warned she was facing a lengthy jail term. Kim Roberts admitted to stealing the precious paintings, vases and silverware from Dowager Countess Bathurst’s Cirencester mansion and her London home. The 58-year-old worked for the countess, 87, and helped herself to the riches, which included a sketch by Picasso and pewter plates, Gloucester Crown Court heard. Roberts’ haul was said to be worth a total of £500,000 at an earlier hearing. Kim Roberts (left) admitted stealing antiques and paintings from her employer, the Countess of Bathurst (right) The Bathurst family home, Cirencester Park, houses artistic treasures stretching back more than three centuries to the first Earl Bathurst, who was a patron of art and literature and a friend of authors including Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope. Among the estate’s collection are portraits by Thomas Gainsborough, George Romney, Peter Lely, and Joshua Reynolds. The 3,000 acre grounds are also home to Cirencester Park Polo Club. Prince Charles has regularly played there over the years and his sons William and Harry have followed in his footsteps. Roberts, of Colyton, Devon, yesterday admitted three charges she had previously denied – including burgling the countess’s Kensington home in Lennox Gardens, where the average asking price is more than £4million. Roberts was working at Cirencester Park, the aristocratic country pile of the Bathursts, in the Cotswolds . Roberts admitted stealing antique vases between May and August in 2013 and stealing a 4x4 Volvo XC90 – worth at least £45,000 – from her previous employer interior designer Emily Olympitis in October 2012. She also admitted fraud after dishonestly telling a domestic household staff recruitment agency that she was born in 1958. At a hearing last year, Roberts admitted stealing art and antiques belonging to the countess between April and May 2013. But she had claimed she was guilty only because the property was put in her car by mistake. Yesterday her barrister Simon Burns said she had now abandoned that claim and fully accepted her responsibility. Roberts was told to prepare for a stretch in prison after she admitted stealing antiques and paintings from the Countess of Bathurst . Her victim – Gloria, the Dowager Countess of Bathurst – is the widow of the eighth Earl Bathurst, Henry, who died in 2011 aged 84. Their son Allen, formerly Lord Apsley, is now the 9th Earl and lives in the Cirencester Park mansion house with his wife Sara. The Bathursts are one of England’s oldest families, originating from Sussex where they owned Bathurst Castle until they were dispossessed of their lands by Edward IV in 1463, after siding with the Lancastrians in the War of the Roses. Roberts did deny three charges yesterday, including stealing antique silver hairbrushes from Lady Juliet Worsley, and another theft of items including a television and a DVD player. She also denied possession of stolen property including a Mont Blanc pen, items of clothing and several accessories. The Crown Prosecution Service has until today to accept her pleas and allow the charges she denies to rest. Roberts’ lawyer told the court he had spoken to the prosecution and believed her guilty pleas would be accepted and that the other charges would not be proceeded with. Judge Jamie Tabor QC gave the prosecution 24 hours to dispute this and released Roberts on bail until May 7 so a pre-sentence report can be prepared by the probation service. And he told Roberts to expect a prison sentence, saying: ‘I don’t want you to be under any illusions about the sentence you will receive. You should make arrangements prior to that date on the basis that you are going to be away for some time.’ Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article. | Kim Roberts worked as a housekeeper for Dowager Countess Bathurst .

Immigration controls in Australia are so tough that asylum seekers are rejected on board naval warships at sea before being returned immediately, it emerged yesterday. Australian prime minister Tony Abbott says the EU must ‘urgently’ follow his lead to stop migrants dying in the Mediterranean as they seek a new life in Europe. Yesterday Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi said his country was ‘at war’ with migrant traffickers, describing them as ‘the slave traders of the 21st century’. Scroll down for video . The Australian Navy, pictured, is processing migrants' claims while at sea before returning them home . Australia has one of the toughest immigration policies in the developed world according to experts . Australian PM Tony Abbott, pictured, has said his country's immigration controls have been strengthened . EU leaders will hold a crisis summit in Brussels today to agree a strategy after up to 900 were killed when a fishing boat from Libya capsized. They are expected to double funding and equipment for EU border-patrol missions off the North African coast. But critics believe millions of impoverished Africans and Asians are happy to set off into the Mediterranean in leaky boats because they are confident humanitarian efforts will save them and speed them to their destination. Mr Abbott has insisted: ‘The only way you can stop the deaths is to stop the boats.’ Australia detains people on the Pacific islands of Nauru or Papua New Guinea while their asylum applications are considered, in order to avoid them absconding and staying on Australian soil while their cases are heard. Those on Nauru have the ‘opportunity’ to seek a life in Cambodia – which is paid by Australia to take them – while those in Papua New Guinea can stay there under a similar deal. Any who sneak past navy patrols to set foot on Australia are barred from staying for ignoring procedure, even if their asylum claim is genuine. But it emerged yesterday that Australian premier Mr Abbott’s immigration-control policy is even tougher than had been previously thought. It was revealed that officials rejected asylum claims of 46 Vietnamese aboard an Australian navy vessel – without setting foot on dry land – before the group was handed back to Vietnam last week. The screening aboard HMAS Choules is believed to have happened over a number of days after a boat was intercepted north of Australia. They were returned to the port city of Vung Tau, south of Ho Chi Minh City. Australia’s Vietnamese community leaders warned that the Abbott government would be ‘throwing people back to hell’ by returning the asylum seekers. There were reports last year that an asylum seeker from an ethnic minority hill tribe was badly beaten by Vietnamese government officials after being returned by Cambodia. And Amnesty International said that claims of persecution by the Vietnamese cannot have been adequately assessed while still at sea. Amnesty’s Graeme McGregor said: ‘These reports are extremely concerning and represent a fundamental violation of refugee rights. ‘Basic screening procedures at sea cannot be relied upon to make such life and death decisions. ‘Instead of digging itself deeper into disrepute by negotiating secretive deals to return asylum seekers, Australia should be helping those in need and identifying safe, practical ways for refugees to reach safety. The government has repeatedly excused its secretive boat turn-backs by trying to claim that they save lives. ‘The return of Vietnamese asylum seekers to the very country and government that they have escaped from exposes the truth about the government’s policies: that they do not save people, but repel people who may need our help.’ Immigration minister Peter Dutton refused to comment on the return of the Vietnamese but insisted people were not sent back to countries where they would face persecution. However, in a video to be shown to asylum seekers on Nauru, he can be seen urging them to take up the Australian offer for them to resettle in Cambodia. He tells the asylum seekers: ‘It is a fast-paced and vibrant country with a stable economy and varied employment opportunities.’ | Migrant asylum claims are processed by the Australian navy while at sea .

Transgender model Andreja Pejic has revealed that she was told by people within the fashion industry that she would no longer seem ‘special’ or ‘interesting’ once she completed her transition into a woman. The 23-year-old Serbian-born fashion star, who appears in a solo editorial in the May issue of Vogue, told the publication that she was advised not to undergo her gender reassignment surgery because it would transform her from an interesting enigma into just another pretty girl. Andreja noted that there were people who warned her not to transition, explaining: ‘There was definitely a lot of, "Oh, you’re going to lose what’s special about you. You’re not going to be interesting anymore. There are loads of pretty girls out there."' Scroll down for video . Fashion pioneer: Transgender model Andreja Pejic posed for photographer Patrick Demarchelier for a spread in Vogue. The 23-year-old revealed to the magazine that she is the new face of Make Up For Ever . Major debut: The model, who underwent gender-confirmation surgery last year, took to the runway for the first time as a woman during designer Giles Deacon's Autumn/Winter 2015 show in February (pictured) One agent even told her that 'it's better to be androgynous than a tranny', but Andreja refused to fall prey to those opinions. 'It is about showing that this is not just a gimmick,' she said of being transgender. Andreja also revealed during the interview that she has been signed as the newest face for beauty brand Make Up For Ever, and is thought to be the first ever transgender model to land a major cosmetics campaign. And her success is, she hopes, a sign that there is a cultural shift occurring within the industry when it comes to gender identity. 'There are just more categories now,' she told Vogue. 'It’s good. We’re finally figuring out that gender and sexuality are more complicated.' Andreja was born in what is now known as Bosnia-Herzegovina and later to emigrated to Melbourne, Australia. She grew up as a boy named Andrej, although she admitted that she was unsure where she fit in during her adolescence. She even considered being gay, but explains that even that 'didn't fit', saying: 'Society doesn’t tell you that you can be trans.' Andreja recalled wanting to 'stop puberty in its early tracks' because she was worried about her jawline becoming too strong and her feet and hands growing too large . Fashion friends: Andreja posted this picture of herself posing alongside Kendall Jenner while the pair were backstage at the Giles show . Two worlds: Before her sex reassignment procedure, Andreja made a name for herself as both a male and female model, having modeled menswear (L) and womenswear (R) for Jean Paul Gaultier . But at 6'1, Andreja, who also wears a size 11 shoe, fits in perfectly with her fellow models. On her first modeling gig she looked around the room and told herself she didn't need to worry because 'every girl in fashion is exactly the same'. Before undergoing her sex reassignment surgery, Andreja made a name for herself within the fashion industry as both a male and a female model, with her androgynous look allowing her to showcase both male and female designs. She modeled Jean Paul Gaultier's Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2012 collection in Paris in July 2012, before going on to showcase the same designer's menswear range as part of Paris Fashion Week in January 2013. She took the runway for the first time as a woman during designer Giles Deacon's Autumn/Winter 2015 show show at London Fashion Week in February. And her new cosmetics campaign is just the latest means of her continuing to break boundaries – something which is already being echoed throughout the fashion industry by many other models. Last month, it was announced that transgender teen Jazz Jennings, 14, would be the new face of skincare brand Clean & Clear's new 'See The Real Me' campaign. And in November Brazilian transgender model and Givenchy muse Lea T landed a highly-coveted campaign with the American hair-care brand Redken. Star power: Carey Mulligan covers the May issue of Vogue, which features Andreja's editorial . Michael Kors Pre-Fall 2015 . Shop the current collection at Net-A-Porter . Visit site . Carey Mulligan can smoulder like no other! It doesn't hurt when you have the entire Vogue magazine styling team behind you either... Nor does it hurt to be wearing one of the greatest American designers of all time, Michael Kors. We don't think we've ever seen the actress look more beautiful than she does here on the cover of Vogue (this time around) and it's a look we'd like to imitate immediately. This crimson embroidered mikado strapless gown is from the designer's pre-fall 2015 collection so it wont hit the shops until August, which means you might need a little help from our style edit until then... If you want to break the bank and go broke for couture (like you would when the Michael Kors number comes out in the fall) why not get your hands on the gorgeous Oscar de la Renta gown now?

He was once the most fearsome competitor in all of sport, infamous for his prickly nature towards rivals and single-minded pursuit of victory. But the Tiger Woods who has turned up to Augusta National this year is different. Very different. Earlier this week we were treated to the sight of Woods embracing Darren Clarke on the practice ground. Europe's Ryder Cup captain is an old pal of Tiger's so that was unusual, but understandable. So too was the sight of him sharing a hearty laugh with his old mucker, Mark O'Meara. But dancing? Yes, Tiger Woods dancing. Forget unusual, that is almost alarming. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO OF TIGER WOODS DANCING WHILE PRACTISING . Tiger Woods was spotted dancing while he practised on Monday at Augusta National . The former world No 1 had headphones in both ears as he listened to music while honing his game . A video has emerged of the former world No 1, with headphones in each ear, bopping away while he honed his wedge game on the practice ground on Monday. No prizes for the first person to ask: 'was he listening to Tiger Feet?' Augusta's patrons were treated to another glimpse of the new, cuddly Tiger on Wednesday morning as he enjoyed another manly hug with veteran Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez. Woods shared a warm greeting with Miguel Angel Jimenez on Wednesday morning . The 14-time major champion embraced the veteran Spaniard on the practice ground at Augusta . Jimenez watches on as Woods hits a drive during the build-up to the Masters . Perhaps the 50-year-old was offering Woods some tips on how to play the course, having finished fourth last year. Woods may be a four-time Masters champion but he has not played competitively since the first week in February and has battled through a bout of the chipping yips. Maybe the tunes have helped to release some of the tension in his short game. Woods will also play in the traditional Masters warm-up, the Par-3 Contest, for the first time in 11 years on Wednesday. The 39-year-old will be joined by his daughter, Sam, 7, and his son, Charlie, 6, for the event, which is a light-hearted affair for the players and their families. Woods and former champion Ben Crenshaw compare putters on the 13th green during a practice round . Woods is watched by his coach, Chris Como, as he hits on the driving range on Wednesday . Meanwhile, Australia's Marc Leishman has withdrawn from the Masters due to personal reasons. Leishman's wife Audrey was taken ill with an apparent case of pneumonia last week and put into an induced coma in hospital. 'It is with both deep regret and incredible relief I am withdrawing from the Masters tournament this week,' Leishman said in a statement. 'My wife Audrey has survived a life threatening medical emergency and I have decided to remain by her side with our children. 'Thanks to an incredible team of doctors and nurses Audrey appears to be on the road to a full recovery. Our two young children remain blessed to have the world's best mum in their lives. I want to pass along our thanks to all who supported us through this difficult period. 'We ask that you keep Audrey in your thoughts and prayers and I wish my best to all of the competitors for a great 2015 Masters.' Leishman finished joint fourth at Augusta when fellow Australian Adam Scott won the Masters in 2013. He had been due to tee off at 4:03pm BST on Thursday alongside former champion Ian Woosnam and Erik Compton. His withdrawal brings the field down to 97 players. | Tiger Woods put on another show of affection at Augusta National .

Sri Lanka, with its shimmering sandy beaches, enthralling wildlife and relics of ancient civilisations, is high on lists of places to visit in 2015. Gareth Huw Davies enjoys the new stability on the teardrop-shaped island in the Indian Ocean, where the holiday industry is recovering, and expanding with a crop of smart new hotels, after the dual torment of a tsunami and a bitter civil war. The modern Seema Malaka temple, Colombo, Sri Lanka. The temple floats on Colombo's Beira Lake . 1...Pure serendipity . This is the spiritual home of serendipity – lucky discoveries by accident – as Serendib is the island’s ancient name. It happens everywhere. On one of my early starts for an excursion, serendipity was seeing dozens of candles flickering in the dense dark outside a Buddhist temple. Then a schoolgirl in brilliant white uniform striding through the dawn mists along a levee between paddy fields, while an equally white egret paced daintily in the water. Or an old lady, knee-deep in a swamp picking blue water lilies, the national flower. And everywhere, games of impromptu cricket, with a stick for a bat and a plastic drum for a wicket, on bare mud patches, in gardens, on roads. Bath time! A frolicking elephant at the Uda Walawe nature reserve has around 200 of the giant creatures . 2...Jumbo jaunt . The island’s unique subspecies of elephants are a vestige of ancient Sri Lanka. You can’t miss them. My most memorable jumbo encounter was at the Uda Walawe nature reserve. We watched in awe as an extended family ambled across our track. One juvenile pushed over a tree, just for fun, it seemed. Last across was a harassed young mother, sheltering a three-week-old baby. In the right season you might see 200 elephants at the lake in Minneriya National Park. The distinguished star in Yala National Park is the ‘prince of the night’ – the leopard. Picture perfect! A tea Planatation near Hunas Falls near Kandy Sri Lanka . 3...Old England . The nearest thing to cool in Sri Lanka is its green and hilly heart, where tea plantations are a fascinating sight. Kandy, where the British beat the last king of Ceylon in 1815, still feels like a charming, antique outpost of empire. It is dotted with guesthouses that recall Tunbridge Wells. The colonial throwbacks include a bus station clock that chimes like Big Ben. There are red King George V post boxes and immaculate old Morris Minors, Hillman Minxes and Ford Anglias. I stayed at the Queen’s Hotel, all echoing wooden corridors and wide, polished staircases. In the Botanical Gardens, I found the tree that Queen Elizabeth planted. In the serenity of the Temple of the Tooth, what is said to be the Buddha’s tooth is kept safe within the innermost of seven caskets. Sigiriya is an ancient palace located in the central Matale District near the town of Dambulla in the Central Province. The name refers to a site that hosues a massive column of rock nearly 660 ft high . 4...Rock of ages . Sigiriya is a quarter the size of Ayers Rock, topped with the 1,500-year-old fortress of the playboy King Kasyapa. He killed his father and surrounded himself with a crocodile-filled moat to exclude his vengeful brother. I decided against the one-hour, 900ft climb to the top for the ancient frescoes and spicy graffiti. Instead I strolled into the jungle that smothers the massive defensive stones at the rock’s base. Huge, golden-green butterflies fluttered past. A strange symphony of birds burbled out of the trees – Sri Lanka has many wonderful avian species. In a gap in the canopy I caught a flash of orange at the top of the rock. It was a Buddhist monk in his vivid garb. Yet more serendipity. Not the usual black cab: Taxi rank of tuk-tuks line the streets in Negombo in Sri Lanka . 5...TAKE THE TUK-TUK . Most visitors stay on the west and south coasts where, as well as standard tourist hotels, there is a growing choice of chic, small places such as Tri, a ten-suite boutique hotel near the south coast that opens in June. Then you can book trips by coach or car (with your own private driver) to most parts of Sri Lanka. For short distances the ubiquitous motorised tuk-tuks are fun. Don’t even consider hiring a car. Roads are an all-day adrenaline rush. You need an expert at the wheel to dodge the massive Ashok Leyland Tusker lorries painted with idealised landscapes, jam-packed buses and wobbling bikes with impossible loads. Paradise! A golden beach with turquise waters at Unawatuna near Galle on the south coast of Sri Lanka . 6...JUST THE (TRAIN) TICKET . The little station on the Colombo to Galle line close by my hotel felt like a slumbering country halt from 1950s Britain. Behind the ticket office’s narrow arched window, a clerk consulted his tomes and solemnly outlined my choices – I opted for a 90-minute trip in second class for 50p. On the platform I joined goats and men there just for a chat. We lurched off down the tragic (it bore the brunt of the 2004 tsunami) and beautiful coast to Galle. Another epic rail journey is Colombo to Trincomalee, the east coast city closed to the world by civil war until recently and still to be discovered by tourism. It’s just £2 one way.

Not one but two fast food eateries have announced major menu shake-ups, both in an apparent attempt to attract a new sort of crowd. Burger King, which has launched its summer menu, has branched out from run-of-the-mill sundaes by offering a pina colada smoothie, while Pret A Manger has gone the whole hog and started serving sit-down dinners with wine. The British sandwich chain's new concept is called 'Good Evenings', and runs from 6pm until 11pm every night, but only (for now) at its branch on The Strand in London. Wining and dining: Pret A Manger's new concept (pictured) is called 'Good Evenings', and runs from 6pm until 11pm every night, but only (for now) at its branch on The Strand in London . Pret A Manger, which up until now has been solely a breakfast and lunch operation, allows customers to order at the tills but be served at tables decked out in smart crockery and silverware. Diners can enjoy their meals along with a selection of wines and craft beers as atmospheric jazz wafts from the speakers. Chef Nick Sandler told The Evening Standard: ‘If [customers] come in and say “we’re in a real hurry we’ve only got 20 minutes” because they are going to the theatre we tell them they’ve got plenty of time to order, sit down and have their meal. ‘But equally if someone’s got a bit longer to have a glass of wine and spend an hour with us that’s fine as well, we’re pretty relaxed about it.' Newcomers: Burger King, which just launched its summer menu, has branched out from run-of-the-mill sundaes by offering a pina colada smoothie (right) Grub: Burger King's new Party in the Park menu consists of three new burgers, the Mushroom Swiss Steakhouse, the Pulled Pork BBQ Whopper and the Ciabatta Chicken Tendercrisp (pictured) Evening dishes, which largely feature on Pret's lunch menu anyway, include spicy meatballs, flat breads and dips, and baked falafel, as well as Korean BBQ pulled pork and mac ‘n’ cheese. Burger King's new Party in the Park menu consists of three new burgers: the Mushroom Swiss Steakhouse, the Pulled Pork BBQ Whopper and the Ciabatta Chicken Tendercrisp. Alongside its new Chicken Fries - essentially chip-shaped fried chicken - the fast-food joint is serving three new frozen drinks: the Frozen Lemon Limeade, the Frozen Cherry Berry Lemonade and the aforementioned Pina Colada Smoothie - which is alcohol-free. It comes shortly after Nando's announced its most extensive menu update yet, with new options including its Quinoa Salad, a 'Fino Coleslaw' made from beetroot, carrot and spiced yogurt dressing, and a Portuguese-inspired Churrasco Thigh Burger. Nando's also recently announced its most extensive menu update yet, with new options including a Quinoa Salad (bottom right), a 'Fino Coleslaw' (top right) and a Portuguese-inspired Churrasco Thigh Burger (top left) Pret is now in good company with its lead competitor, Starbucks, who in February announced the launch of its yet-to-materialize dinner menu. Starbucks Evenings, as it has been coined, will offer a range of hot and cold meals as well as wines and beers to customers, to be served from 4pm. Stansted Airport in Essex will be the first UK location to offer the evening menu, with plans to expand the programme to additional stores. Starbucks UK will also be launching an evening menu, offering ten types of wine plus hot and cold small plates . Options will include Somerset Brie, Cheddar and Blue Stilton cheese platter with oat cakes and aromatic plum chutney (pictured) Starbucks' announcement - and no doubt now Pret's - did cause a bit of a stir with certain alcohol-related charities, who expressed concern that such a large firm is licensing some premises. Emily Robinson, of Alcohol Concern, said: ‘We hope Starbucks will take their responsibility as an alcohol retailer very seriously by ensuring the training of staff and under-age checks are adequate, and that responsible drinking is encouraged. 'It’s a bit disappointing to see another establishment now selling booze which will limit those customers who are in recovery or just wanting an alcohol-free environment.’ | Burger King is now offering alcohol-free pina colada smoothies .

Marlon Samuels found a novel way of carrying on his duel in the second Test with Ben Stokes here on Thursday night when he sent him on his way with a military-style salute. Stokes had given his wicket away just before the close of the third day when he smashed a Devendra Bishoo long-hop straight to deep square leg and Samuels wasted no time in pouring salt on his wounds, saluting him on his way. The Durham all-rounder muttered under his breath as he walked past Samuels before England closed on 373 for six, a lead of 74, thanks to an outstanding unbeaten 118 from the prolific Joe Root. Ben Stokes (left) gives Marlon Samuels a stare as the West Indian gives him a send-off salute on Thursday . Stokes looks at Samuels as the cheeky centurion stands at attention with his hat on his check for the send-off . And West Indies great Curtly Ambrose, now the bowling coach, insisted afterwards that the eccentric Samuels was just having a bit of fun. ‘I didn’t really see it, but there’s nothing wrong with a little banter in international cricket,’ said Ambrose. ‘As long as it doesn’t go over the top I’m fine with it. I think it’s more friendly. He gave a salute? Is that a sign of respect, I don’t know. 'That's something that we don't really preach. We always make sure that we tell the guys to keep it clean, and keep it within a certain range, and don't go over the top. 'International cricket is hard, and they must find ways to relax themselves, and smiling is one of those things. As much as we're working hard and want to win, you must have some fun doing it. You've got to enjoy what you are doing. ‘I’m hoping it was light-hearted because we always make sure we tell the guys to keep it clean and don’t go over the top. I don’t think Marlon meant anything by it. You have to find ways to relax and have fun.’ The gesture was seen as good 'banter' by Geoffrey Boycott in commentary for BBC's Test Match Special. Boycott said: 'The Samuels salute was all right because it is banter and fun. It is not punishable — it was funny.' Stokes doesn't get a full piece of an innocuous delivery from Bishoo and skies his shot into the outfield . Stokes looks on in hope as the ball floats into the safe hands of Blackwood, who took his second catch . After the pair clashed in Windies' first innings while Samuels got 103, the all-rounder gave Stokes a slaute . Graeme Swann said immediately after the day's play that while not the biggest fan of Samuels the gesture made him laugh. 'He can be an absolute tool sometimes but I have to admit Marlon Samuels just made me laugh tea out of my nose with his saluting send off,' Swann wrote on Twitter. 'Heavy money on @benstokes38 getting Marlon out in the 2nd dig. Eng should line up a guard of honour for him. Love to see humour on the field.' Joe Root celebrates reaching his century during a short partnership with Stokes .

In the final weeks before the general election, party leaders are pulling out all the stops to attract voters - but not everyone is impressed. On Wednesday, a six-year-old Boulton schoolgirl made headlines when she was seen plopping her head down on her book in apparent boredom as David Cameron tried to read with her. And the Prime Minister isn't the only politician guilty of causing kids to cringe; Ed Miliband, Ed Balls and Nick Clegg have all been pictured sharing awkward moments with youngsters. Scroll down for video . David Cameron managed to thoroughly bore a schoolgirl while visiting a school in Bolton on Wednesday . The Prime Minister isn't the only politician who elicits funny reactions from kids. Labour leader Ed Miliband has also had his fair share of awkward moments . Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls fails to impress a young girl and her doll as they play make-believe . In 2011, Labour leader Ed Miliband was pictured visiting a school, where he sat down on a pink sofa to chat with some young schoolgirls. But rather than engage with the children, Ed was snapped awkwardly sipping tea from his cup as the girls watched him and rolled their eyes. Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls likely had the best intentions when he sat down to play make-believe with a primary school youngster and her doll. But the girl couldn't hide her boredom in a picture from the meeting, resting her chin in her hand as she looked wearily away from him. It looks like this little boy couldn't more exhausted by George Osborne's peppy demeanour . Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg is just trying to be one of the kids - but he doesn't quite fit in . SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon looks a little out of her comfort zone as she tries her hand at video games . Gordon Brown looms rather scarily over a baby as she plays with toys . It seems the unrelenting enthusiasm of politicians is what annoys kids most. Indeed, one little boy in a photo from a school visit appeared desperate for a nap as George Osborne leaned over him, smiling brightly at the other pupils. And Nick Clegg didn't quite fit when he sat down at a table of school kids, who uniformly went about their business as he looked around at them, apparently trying to make friends. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown didn't have much luck either when he got down on all fours to talk to a baby. These kids look less than pleased to be hanging out with William Hague . It looks as though the Leader of the House of Commons said something to upset this young artist . This young boy appears less than pleased to be holding hands with Ed Balls . It looks like Michael Howard has done something to seriously annoy the redheaded boy next to him . The Scot looked like more of a looming giant than a friendly face, his dark business suit contrasting with the rainbow carpet and toys on the floor. William Hague has been met with incredulity by children on multiple occasions. In one particularly funny photo, he is seen awkwardly looking over the shoulder of a student as her friend rolls her eyes, seemingly annoyed at his presence. In another, a boy looks downtrodden as the Leader of the House of Commons apparently scrutinises his drawing of a fox. Boris Johnson gives the thumbs-up at a school lunch as his fellow diners dutifully ignore him . Tony Blair sits in a corner near table of children as he awkwardly gestures with his sandwich in the air . A shocked girl gawps at David Laws as he assesses the school lunch options . A flabbergasted Ed Balls looks as though he has never seen coloured markers before . | Six-year-old schoolgirl made headlines this week when she was pictured plopping her head on the table while reading with David Cameron .
Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Ed Balls have all had equally awkward moments with kids . | 4be279326e44412e1315f4cfd066976652788565 | [

A 46-year-old man was sentenced to life in prison on Monday after shooting dead a father and son because they were related to a driver who killed his nine-year-old sister in a crash 45 years ago. Alfred Guy Vuozzo swore loudly as he was told he would not be eligible for parole for 35 years for murdering Brent McGuigan, 68, and his son, Brendon, 39, on Prince Edward Island last August. As he was escorted from the courtroom, he screamed: 'You've sentenced me to life and I sent them to death', while the judge called the brutal double-murder an act of 'hatred and misdirected vengeance'. Vuozzo was two years old when his older sister, Cathy, was killed in a crash in 1970. Brent's father, Herbert, who was behind the wheel, later received a nine-month sentence for dangerous driving. Scroll down for video . 'Revenge': Alfred Guy Vuozzo, 46, has been sentenced to life in prison after shooting dead Brent McGuigan, 68, and his son, Brendon (both pictured), 39, because they were related to a driver who killed his nine-year-old sister in a crash 45 years ago. The defendant was told that he will not be eligible for parole for 35 years . Crash: Vuozzo was two years old when his older sister, Cathy, was killed in a crash in 1970. Brent's father, Herbert, who was behind the wheel, received a nine-month sentence. Above, a newspaper photo of the crash . After more than 40 years of torment, Vuozzo confronted the driver's son, Brent, and grandson, Brendon, in their home on St Mary's Road, near the town of Montague, CTV News reported. He shot them both in 'execution-style' killings to avenge his sister's death - despite neither victim having had anything to do with the crash that had claimed the life of his sibling all those years ago. In February, Vuozzo pleaded guilty to the first-degree murder of Brent and the second-degree murder of Brendon. At the time, he told the court that when Cathy was killed, 'Our lives were ruined'. He added he had needed to do something for her. 'Call me a cold-blooded killer, but I'm not,' he said. Before his sentencing on Monday, Vuozzo said Herbert's 'short' sentence 'has haunted me all my life', saying: 'That's all her life was worth. She only had nine years in this world. And nobody cared.' Shooting: After more than 40 years of torment, Vuozzo confronted the driver's son, Brent, and grandson, Brendon, in their home near Montague, Prince Edward Island, and shot them. Above, police at the scene . Emergency vehicle: He killed both in 'execution-style' slayings to avenge his sister's death - despite neither victim having had anything to do with the car crash that claimed the life of his sibling all those years ago . However, Crown lawyer John Diamond told the provincial Supreme Court in Charlottetown that Vuozzo was a 'cold-hearted' murderer who had shot his victims with a handgun to get 'revenge'. 'It was revenge. He was a cold-hearted and calculated individual,' he told the court, CBC reported. Mr Diamond also called the double-murder on August 20 'callous', 'pointless', and the worst crime in the Island's history, adding that it has caused life-long pain for surviving McGuigan family members. In a victim impact statement, Brent's wife and Brendon's mother, Marie McGuigan, who was home at the time but was not targeted by a hell-bent Vuozzo, said 'a part of me died with them that night'. Attack: In February, Vuozzo pleaded guilty to the first-degree murder of Brent and the second-degree murder of Brendon. He said that when Cathy was killed, 'Our lives were ruined'. Above, the scene of the killings . Meanwhile, Brent's only daughter, Donna, said she has been consumed by hatred. 'I feel so much anger and hatred that it scares me. I hate that they died this way and it haunts me,' she sobbed. At an earlier hearing, Gerald Quinn, prosecuting, explained how Cathy had been fatally thrown from a car being driven by her father when it was struck by Mr McGuigan, who was driving a truck, in 1970. The youngster's father and two other children also received minor injuries in the crash, but Herbert was not injured, The Eastern Graphic reported. Cathy died on the scene near Commercial Road. Mr McGuigan has since passed away. Referring to Brent and Brendon, Quinn said: 'These two men, by all accounts, were good hard-working men, had no involvement whatsoever in the motor vehicle accident years ago, at all. He added: 'This gentlemen [Vuozzo] had no familiarity with them other than knowing who they were. He walked into the home and he shot them both multiple times and killed them.' Thane MacEachern, defending, argued that the defendant had no previous criminal record and had suffered from depression and mental illness prior to the shootings, according to CBC. Vuozzo, of Lower Montague, will be 81 by the time he is eligible for parole. The first 25 years' ineligibility are for his first-degree murder charge, while the other 10 years are for killing Brendon. In 2011, federal legislation was passed allowing courts to impose consecutive periods of parole ineligibility in cases where defendants have been convicted of multiple murders. | Alfred Guy Vuozzo, 46, shot dead Brent McGuigan and his son, Brendon .

A naturally red-headed sixth form student has been told to tone down her hair colour or she will be barred from classes for being 'too ginger'. Emily Reay, 17, who has natural auburn hair but colours it so it is brighter, is a pupil at Trinity School in Carlisle, Cumbria, and claims she has sported the same vibrant ginger hair for the last three years. But on her return to lessons following the Easter holidays she claims she was ordered to tone it down after teachers decided the colour was inappropriate. Emily Reay (pictured) a pupil at Trinity School in Carlisle, claims she has sported the same colour of hair for the last three years. But now teachers have told her to tone it down or she will be banned from lessons . 'Everybody knows me as that "young ginger singer"': Talented musician Emily says her hair is her trademark . Now, during her last year of A-levels, Emily - who is naturally auburn - has been told she is banned from lessons until she changes her appearance. She was informed of the action being taken at the end of Monday's assembly. 'I was very angry at first, and then burst into tears. I've had the same colour for the past three years, and nobody at school has commented on it,' said Emily at her home in Carlisle. A talented musician, Emily claims her ginger hair is her trademark. Determined not to miss out on important lessons Emily says she will return to school with her hair pinned up . Emily says teachers at Trinity School in Carlisle say she is banned from lessons until she changes her hair . 'Everybody knows me as that "young ginger singer". For me it is a confidence thing. If I had to dye my hair brown, I would lose this,' said Emily. Her parents Julie and Andy Reay went to the school to discuss the matter with sixth-form headteacher Andrew Winter. They claim they were told that Emily's hair colour needed to be changed by next Monday or she would not be allowed to continue her education. 'I had to dye my hair to a more natural colour, or tone it down considerably,' said Emily. 'I offered to pin it up, or wear a beanie hat, but I was told 'no' to both.' Her parents are backing their daughter's decision not to change her hair colour. Determined not to miss out on important lessons Emily (pictured) says she plans to return to school with her hair pinned up and 'hopes nothing is said' 'They had her in tears. They do not realise what her hair means to her,' said Mrs Reay, 44. 'The irony is she is playing Scaramouche in the school's adaptation of We Will Rock You, which is about society suppressing people's creativity and self-expression. 'The school's uniform policy clearly states no unnatural hair colours, like blue or green. But is ginger not a natural hair colour?' she added. Emily said: 'I was told my hair had been a bone of contention since the beginning of the school year but they had let it slip up until now. 'But the laughable thing is my hair was brighter than this on prom night and I won best hairstyle award.' Mrs Reay added: 'Emily has natural auburn hair, but her hair has been this colour for so long now it is part of her. 'It's like living in the Victorian times. I would say her education is more important.' Determined not to miss out on important lessons Emily says she will return to school with her hair pinned up. 'I have to hope nothing is said. It is too damaging a stage for my education.' Sixth-form head Mr Winter said: 'Trinity School sixth-form students are role models for the rest of the school. We have a policy of maintaining high standards. 'All sixth form students are issued with information about what is acceptable or unacceptable at the start of the academic year. The vast majority of parents are very keen on our high standards.' | Sixth form student Emily Reay is barred from classes for being too ginger .

A vast underground network of pipes could be used to transport freight and deliveries in a bid to end road congestion and pollution. The government has approved funding for Cambridgeshire-based Mole Solutions to develop the idea as an alternative to the conventional systems of transporting goods by road. The plan, called the Mole Urban project, aims to reduce the level of road freight within urban areas by using freight pipelines carrying goods in capsules to edge of town consolidation centres, where they would be collected. Scroll down for video . One of the Mole Solutions capsules inside one of their pipelines at their testing site in Northampton . A graphic showing how the Mole Urban project would work by sending freight in underground pipes rather than on the road . The firm is now looking to see if the concept could be used within the town of Northampton and if results are positive, a pilot could see underground pipelines installed to transport goods. The development project is set to last nine months and if successful could be rolled out in other towns, although it is still a long way from fruition. The proposal, would see the driverless capsules propelled by a magnetic wave produced by linear induction motors. A track has already been constructed in Northampton to test the capsules with data being collected on commercial and environmental influences. However, the firm say that even irrespective of the final results for the test case, the process established in the project can be used to assess other locations that have major congestion and pollution problems caused by excess road usage. The development project is set to last nine months and if successful could be rolled out in other towns . Dr Roger Miles, head of Mole Solutions told the Independent: 'Clean water is taken into homes and dirty water is taken away and we never really see it, while huge amounts of oil and diesel are transported by pipes and underground. 'Now we want to do something similar with freight, delivering goods to buildings and taking away waste.' The concept has already had funding from the government and is also attracting support from private businesses too. The company is already one of several businesses that have attracted support from the Transport Systems Catapult, a government-funded centre set up to support innovation in transport. The Transport Systems Catapult is currently working with the UK Government and over 70 major multinationals on ‘Intelligent Mobility’ inventions with major market potential, including driverless cars, underground sensors and freight pipelines. The technology comes after Amazon announced they had been carrying out a secret research project which would see packages from the company delivered by drone. Amazon has approached the British Government about trialling its flying Amazon Prime Air service in the UK. One of its prototype delivery drones is pictured . In December 2013, the internet shopping giant’s chief executive Jeff Bezos says that he wants to use octocoptors to replace postmen and cut delivery times to just 30 minutes. Customers would have their order dropped onto their front lawn by the machine which would fly through the air from a nearby warehouse with it clasped in a metal grabber. And last month, it was reported that Amazon is said to have approached the British Government to launch a trial of the technology in Britain. | Mole Solutions is developing the idea as an alternative to road transport .

A lost photograph showing a woman killed by the tornado that leveled an Illinois village last week was found 35 miles away after being carried there by the storm. The image - showing Geraldine Schultz, 67, was blown from the home where she died in Fairdale, Illinois, to the town of Harvard, 35 miles away. It showed her alongside her husband Clem Schultz, 84, and was taken around 1980 to feature in a church directory. Lost and found: A 1980 photograph, left, showing Geraldine Schultz with her husband Clem, was returned to the family after being found 35 miles away. Mrs Schultz, pictured right more recently, died aged 67 when a tornado struck her home in Fairdale, Illinois, last week . Storm: A tornado obliterated the Schultz family home, and caused a collapse which killed Geraldine Schultz and also injured her husband, Clem . Going the distance: . Harvard resident Alyssa Murray found the photograph in the wake of the powerful storm, which also killed another Fairdale woman in her 60s. Using a Facebook group set up to reunite owners and their property, Murray posted a picture of the photograph, which eventually led to it being claimed. The photograph provided some comfort to the family, who were left with the arduous task of clearing up the wreckage of their home, one of around 20 wiped out by the fierce winds. Clem Schultz was in the house with his wife when the tornado struck - but survived because he had gone upstairs to fetch a lantern. Destruction: This aerial photograph shows the trail of chaos left by the tornado, which cut a path straight through the small down of Fairdale . Reunion: Widower Clem Schultz was miraculously reunited with his dog Missy after she was spotted wandering . Speaking to the Chicago Tribune, he said the couple thought the tornado would not hit Fairdale, so was most concerned with getting a source of light in case the electricity cut out. When the winds struck he felt the house collapse underneath him - and by the time he made it out, his wife had been killed. He said: 'I felt the house shudder and move and I got buried in rubble. When it was all over, I dug myself out and saw people walking in the streets and I heard propane hissing from the tanks.' Schultz said he checked his wife's pulse after finding her body, but knew she was dead. He also lost his dog, Missy, in the tornado. But she was spotted by an electrical worker driving through the countryside and was returned to the family. Debris: This restaurant sign was found near Harvard, Illinois - some 50 miles from its home in Rochelle . Wrecked: Pictured above are the remains of the Grubsteaker's restaurant in Rochelle, where the sign originated . Other items posted online have made it even farther afield. A family photograph traveled 70 miles - and over the state line - to wind up in Racine, Wisconsin. A Fairdale town sign made it 28 miles to land between the towns of Belvidere and Harvard, while a sign from the Grubsteakers family restaurant in Rochelle was carried around 50 miles to a field near Harvard. The restaurant was badly hit in the storm, and customers sheltering in its basement were trapped for almost an hour when debris collapsed on top of the basement entrance. | Geraldine Schultz, 67, was killed last week by vortex in town of Fairdale .

Nigel Farage suffered a fresh blow today after a new poll showed Ukip trailing badly in a series of key seats. Across 10 constituencies targeted by Mr Farage's party, Ukip has fallen 18 points behind the Tories and seven behind Labour. The revelation came as Mr Farage admitted that he had 'made some mistakes' during the campaign but insisted he was confident he could get it back on track. Scroll down for video . Across the 11 marginal constituencies – including Boston & Skegness, Great Yarmouth and North Thanet – Ukip now trail the Tories by 18 per cent and Labour by 7 per cent . Tonight's survey for ITV News by ComRes is the latest in a string of polls showing Ukip's support being squeezed by Labour the Tories. However, speaking to Channel 4 News tonight, Mr Farage insisted he was looking forward to the rest of the campaign and had 'a bit of the old vim and vigour back'. He said: 'I started the campaign and think I make some mistakes. My desperation for Ukip to do well meant that I really packed the diary and the day in a way that frankly wasn't very bright. I have now trimmed it back a bit. I'm being a bit more selective.' Asked if he was 'exhausted' he said: 'No, I'm now actually rejuvenated and enjoying it again.' But told he had looked 'a bit wonky' earlier in the campaign, Mr Farage said: 'I was. No, no. Hands up I was. I had completely overdone it. 'I wasn't getting it right. I feel a bit of the old vim and vigour back and I'm looking forward to the next fortnight.' The Ukip leader - appearing on ITV's Lorraine this morning - said he had 'made some mistakes' by trying to do too much and had had to scale back his commitments . Mr Farage insisted he was looking forward to the rest of the campaign and had 'a bit of the old vim and vigour back' The admission came as the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg accused Mr Farage of being an 'odious Victor Meldrew' character. In an interview with MailOnline, Mr Clegg said Mr Farage's 'mask is slipping' to reveal a man uncomfortable talking about people who are not white 'lashing out' in a scrabble for headlines. The Lib Dem leader condemned David Cameron's appeal to UKIP supporters to 'come home', warning the 'bandwagons of the far right' are encircling an 'increasingly hapless Conservative leadership' which is losing all grip on the party. In an interview with MailOnline, Mr Clegg said Mr Farage's 'mask is slipping' to reveal a man uncomfortable talking about people who are not white 'lashing out' in a scrabble for headlines. Nick Clegg told MailOnline that Mr Farage was 'odious' The Lib Dem leader condemned David Cameron's appeal to UKIP supporters to 'come home', warning the 'bandwagons of the far right' are encircling an 'increasingly hapless Conservative leadership' which is losing all grip on the party. It came after Mr Farage called for any migrants rescued from the Mediterranean to be sent back to Africa. The Ukip leader said 'millions' of refugees could arrive on boats in Europe over the next few years unless they are intercepted and turned back now. Mr Farage urged Prime Minister David Cameron to resist pressure at an emergency summit of EU leaders in Brussels tomorrow for Britain to take in large numbers of refugees brought across the Mediterranean by people-smugglers. He insisted the UK could not take more than 'a few thousand' genuine refugees. His comments came as experts warned that up to 30,000 migrants, including 2,500 children, could be killed this year unless the crisis is tackled. Up to 950 people are believed to have drowned in a shipwreck off the coast of Libya on Saturday, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Just 28 people are known to have survived the tragedy, described by UNHCR as 'the deadliest incident in the Mediterranean we have ever recorded'. However, a major survey published today suggested Mr Farage's hard-line immigration stance was popular with the public. Barely one in ten electors say they are satisfied with Conservative border policies over the past five years. The poll by Ipsos MORI suggests this unhappiness may be the key factor behind large numbers of Conservative voters switching to Ukip. David Cameron and Boris Johnson campaigned together in London with polls showing that the Tories are on course to hold on to a string of key marginals . Of those who supported David Cameron in 2010, but now intend to vote for Mr Farage's party, 94 per cent are dissatisfied with immigration policy. This compared to 45 per cent of voters sticking with the Tories. This loss of voters to Ukip could be crucial in deciding the outcome of the General Election on May 7 – with the Prime Minister now facing a race against time to win them back. For all voters, six in ten electors say they are unhappy about the Tories handling of the nation's borders. A significant number of voters also insist immigration is still not being discussed enough by the politicians. During the current campaign, the Tories, Labour and Liberal Democrats have all avoided talking about the subject. The poll will now put pressure on the Prime Minister to change course and begin promoting his policies – which are far tougher than any advocated by Labour. The public considers Labour and the Tories to be just as bad as one another when it comes to getting a grip. Alarmingly for Mr Cameron, only 27 per cent think the current government's handling of immigration has been better than under the previous Labour government – and 26 per cent say they're handling it worse. The rest say both are the same. This is despite the fact Labour presided over a policy of open borders in which record numbers were allowed to pour into the UK. | ComRes survey for ITV shows Ukip falling behind in key constituencies .

It was a simple slip of the tongue, instantly corrected minutes after his last ever ride at Sandown on Saturday. After a tearful yet joyous and ultimately unsuccessful afternoon that none of the 18,000 spectators will forget, it was also the point at which AP McCoy acknowledged that he was an ex-jockey. ‘I am going to miss what I do . . . what I did,’ he said with a pained smile. That whole new routine kicked in yesterday. AP McCoy makes a lap of honour round the Parade ring with Champion Jockey's Trophy at Sandown . McCoy walks into Parade Ring to ride his final race on Box Office as the media assemble to get one last shot . A lie-in and cooked breakfast before a party for family and friends at his home near Lambourn. This week there will be two days as a spectator for McCoy at the Punchestown Festival. Then, when former colleagues head to Uttoxeter and Hexham on Saturday to make an early impression on the first AP-free jockeys’ title race in two decades, McCoy will be attending the wedding of one of wife Chanelle’s friends. The family duties and the exorbitant cost of a ticket means McCoy will not be heading to Las Vegas to watch Mayweather and Pacquiao. But there is a bucket list of things he wants to do now his life is no longer welded to the pursuit of riding perfection. Seeing his beloved Arsenal in the FA Cup final as well as, next season, travelling to watch them in Europe. McCoy with trainer Jonjo O'Neil after riding his final race on Box Office at Sandown racecourse on Saturday . Channel 4 presenter and tennis fan Emma Spencer . Riding some stages in the amateur Tour de France and attending the US Masters in Augusta. He can aim to reduce his own golf handicap and there is also another sporting challenge to conquer. McCoy, who doesn’t play tennis, has challenged Channel 4 presenter Emma Spencer, herself a tidy player, to a match with a tasty side bet riding on the outcome. Coaches are being lined up for McCoy’s crash course. Watch out Emma. Come to think of it, watch out Andy Murray. The list of diversions mean in the short term coping with life in Civvy Street should not be impossibly harrowing for the man who described Saturday as the ‘hardest day of my life’. During his Punchestown trip McCoy will also visit Robbie and JT McNamara, both battling degrees of paralysis after bad falls. It will inject a dose of sobering reality into his situation. McCoy said: ‘The fear of retirement is going to get worse in a month or a year. I think I will be all right in the first few weeks because I have things to do and I will be busy. ‘I will see Robbie McNamara on Tuesday and John Thomas on Wednesday. It will be nice to see the two lads and will put a lot of things into perspective.’ Sean Bowen won the conditional jockey title at Sandown on Saturday as is tipped for a bright future . There are media work offers to consider and a likely role with boss JP McManus. But McCoy will need something to satisfy his enormous work ethic. Last week he did not accept rides because he wanted to begin weaning himself off racing. But on Thursday night, trainer Paul Webber texted McCoy, saying he was short of a work rider for Friday morning, start time 7.45am. The 20-time champion jockey was not late. He also feels, painfully, that even his amazing records will be broken, perhaps even by the emerging Sean Bowen. The 17-year-old winner of Saturday feature bet365 Gold Cup on Just A Par has lifted the champion conditional jockey crown earlier in his life than McCoy managed. He has the same agent in Dave Roberts, who said: ‘What he is doing is freaky. We want to keep his feet on the ground but he has some talent.’ Sound familiar? A new era may be dawning. | AP McCoy will struggle with his new routine now he has retired from racing .

David Cameron will today claim that Labour's economic policies risk putting a million people out of work after Britain was singled out as one of the few 'bright spots' in the global economy. The Prime Minister will vow to encourage more job creation by extending national insurance breaks, worth at least £2,000 a year to smaller firms taking on new staff, for a further five years. Saying he is 'really angry' at Labour's claim that the Conservatives are 'the party for the few, not the many', Mr Cameron will hail the 'jobs miracle' that has seen 1,000 new jobs created every day. David Cameron will today claim that Labour's economic policies risk putting a million people out of work . Contrasting that with Labour's record, he will claim Ed Miliband's economic policies could see 'a million more people joining the dole queues'. Last night, in a boost for George Osborne, the head of the International Monetary Fund picked out the UK recovery as exemplary. Christine Lagarde said the world was suffering from a 'moderate and uneven' return to growth which was 'simply not good enough'. But, in an endorsement of the Government's economic record, she cited the United States and the United Kingdom as countries where the outlook is positive. The comments completed an extraordinary volte-face by the IMF on the Coalition's handling of the economy. Just two years ago, it warned that Mr Osborne was 'playing with fire' by pressing ahead with austerity – only to see the economic recovery take off. Britain was the best performing major economy in the developed world last year, with growth of 2.8 per cent. Figures published by the fund also show it has overtaken socialist-run France to become the second most powerful economy in Europe behind Germany. However, the IMF predicted Britain would still be running a deficit at the end of the decade – despite Tory efforts to balance the books. Cameron will say if Ed Miliband repeated the economic mistakes of last Labour government there will be a risk to jobs . Mr Cameron, who dismissed the projections, will today launch a Conservative 'jobs manifesto' setting out plans to bring about 'full employment' – meaning everyone who wants a job has one. 'We are living through a jobs miracle – brought to you by a Conservative government that has backed business, reformed welfare and rewarded work,' he will say. Claiming Mr Miliband represents a threat to jobs, he will add: 'You know what makes me really angry? It's when our opponents still go on about 'you Tories – the party for the few and not the many…' Excuse me? 'This is the party that's taken three million of the lowest-paid workers out of income tax altogether; that's cut the taxes of 26million working people; that's seen 1,000 jobs created every day – jobs that are giving families security, putting food on tables, helping people out of poverty. 'Under the last five years of Labour, unemployment went up by 600 people a day. 'So if Ed Miliband repeated the economic mistakes of the last Labour government – that he was a part of – he risks a million more people joining the dole queues.' The jobs manifesto will include a guarantee to maintain the so-called 'employment allowance' until 2020, meaning a third of employers will continue to pay no jobs tax for another five years. The tax break, which helps smaller businesses take on new workers by freeing businesses from at least the first £2,000 of employers' national insurance, has already been taken up by 856,000 firms. David Cameron pictured on a metal platform yesterday (left) and John Major on his soap box in 1992 (right) One of the most abiding images from the 1992 General Election campaign was the moment John Major got on his soap box. And yesterday David Cameron did the same... but gave it a 21st century twist by taking to a folding metal platform. During a campaign stop in Leeds, the Prime Minister raised himself above the closely packed crowd to engage in a question and answer session with employees at the O2 office in Morley and Outwood – the marginal constituency of shadow chancellor Ed Balls. Major climbed onto an old fashioned soap box in Cheltenham to persuade Conservatives to come out and vote in 1992, just ten days before the election. He went on to win the fourth consecutive victory for the Tories – and their last outright UK majority. | David Cameron will launch 'job manifesto' with plans for 'full employment'

(CNN)More than 500 Houthi rebels have been killed since the start of Saudi-led military operations against Yemeni Shia fighters, a Saudi Defense Ministry official said Saturday, according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency. A Saudi general said Saturday the nine-nation coalition has undertaken 1,200 airstrikes since they began on March 26. Gen. Ahmed Asiri added that the raids aim to keep the rebels from moving toward southern Yemen, according to the SPA. Clashes took place Friday near the Saudi-Yemeni border, in the Najran region. Saudi forces responded to mortar rounds fired by Houthis on a Saudi border site. Three Saudi military officers were killed and two others were wounded in the shelling, a defense official said, according to SPA. A Saudi source also confirmed to CNN's Nic Robertson that three Saudi soldiers were killed in the shelling. The Yemeni Health Ministry on Saturday said 385 civilians have been killed and 342 others have been wounded. The World Health Organization has put higher figure on both tolls -- 648 killed and 2,191 wounded -- but includes militant casualties in the totals. Yemen has been descending into chaos in the weeks since Houthi rebels -- minority Shiites who have long complained of being marginalized in the majority Sunni country -- forced Yemeni President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi from power in January. And even before the crisis escalated with the Saudi airstrikes, most of the 25 million people in Yemen required humanitarian assistance to meet their most basic needs, the United Nations said Friday. CNN's Pierre Meilhan and Mohammed Tawfeeq contributed to this report. | Saudi general says more than 1,200 airstrikes since campaign began March 26 .

The 'coupon election' came in 1918, while critics branded the 1929 vote - when women first had full suffrage - the 'flapper election'. And, with just 23 days to go, the 2015 general election looks to be picking up a nickname of its own - the 'selfie election'. With less than four weeks until the ballot boxes open, politicians have been trying their best to get their faces in as many places as possible - literally - by posing relentlessly for the ubiquitous photos. Cheese: Keen to show he’s not out of touch, David Cameron poses for a selfie in Alnwick, Northumberland . Posing: Nick Clegg has also been getting in on the act with supporters in Maidstone, Kent . Grinning: Labour leader Ed Miliband poses for a selfie with staff during a campaign visit to Airedale Hospital maternity ward in Keighley, Yorkshire, on Saturday . Natural pose: Ukip leader Nigel Farage joins in with the craze on the campaign trail in South Ockenden, Essex . Conservative MPs were told at the start of the campaign to pose for 'selfies' as often as possible, to increase the party's exposure on social media websites, such as Facebook and Twitter. Since then, David Cameron has been seen donning cheesy grins on numerous occasions, as he poses beside voters during his country-wide visits. The PM, keen to show he is not out of touch, was seen posing for selfies during his visit to Alnwick, Northumberland, yesterday. But, as these images suggest, it appears the photo-taking craze has left no party untouched, with Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage also getting in on the action at every opportunity. This week, Clegg and Farage were both spotted posing with fans on the streets of Maidstone, Kent, and South Ockendon, Essex, respectively. Meanwhile, the grinning Labour leader took took charge of his own selfie shot, as he posed with staff during a campaign visit to Airedale Hospital maternity ward in Keighley, Yorkshire, on Saturday. At it again: Farage also joined three girls for a selfie during a visit to Himley Hall, near Dudley, last week . Snap: Clegg poses with local Lib Dem candidate Tom Brake (right) for a selfie in Carshalton, London, today . Game face: Cameron agrees to pose beside a local man on the campaign trail. PR tsars have reportedly told the Tory party to try and pose for as many selfies as possible during the election campaign . Thumbs up: Farage gestures happily to the camera as he poses with a group in the Thanet South constituency . And, so far, the tactic appears to have worked. A quick search of 'selfie election' on Twitter brings up thousands of tweets, most of which feature the grinning face of one of the party leaders. Last month, a senior Tory source admitted the 2015 General Election could become known as 'the selfie election', as party leaders find themselves mobbed by voters on the campaign trail. The source added: 'It is actually more powerful because obviously they will show their friends, post on Facebook.' He said MPs were also being told to 'use social media as the means to deliver a message'. Taking the lead: Clegg is the one to press the button during this selfie with Lib Dem candidate for Montgomeryshire Jane Dodds and the family of Jackie Glynn during a visit to Newtown . Beer grin: Farage poses with a fan at the Thanet Beer Festival in Margate, Kent, earlier this month . In demand: He was asked several times to pose for a selfie during the packed-out beer festival . The technique was employed to perfection during the Scottish Referendum, with Alex Salmond often seen stopping to pose for selfies with Yes campaign supporters. At the time, Facebook revealed figures detailing more than 10 million interactions surrounding the referendum in a five-week period. A senior strategist for the Yes campaign said the social media site was the most effective campaigning tool available because it offers access to nearly every voter and allows individuals to spread the messages they want to hear. Do you need a hand? Cameron offers his advice to a supporter as he poses up for a selfie, while campaigning alonside local Conservative candidate Anne-Marie Trevelyan in Alnwick . Eddie Izzard takes a selfie with a man as he campaigns in support of Labour candidate for Finchley and Golders Green, Sarah Sackman, in Finchley, north London, last week .
