An Arkansas single dad has decided to change up his romance strategy by putting an ad on the side of his pickup truck after not finding love online. Robin Thomas, of Jonesboro, posted a sign on his truck that reads, 'Looking for a date? Would you date a single father?' The advertisement then shows his phone number and below reads, '*Ages 21 and up*'. Robin Thomas, of Jonesboro, Arkansas, posted a 'girlfriend wanted' advertisement on his truck after several failed attempts at online dating . The father-of-three decided to put the sign on his truck after failing to find love online several times. 'I decided it can't be any worse than what I was doing,' Thomas told KAIT8. The retired cook said that he's looking for a woman who is 'normal and down-to-earth' and closer to his own age, hoping for 'at least 28'. Thomas has three kids, aged six to 11, who he said that his kids think the sign is 'cute'. He added that most of his free time is when he kids are in school and he's not much of a party animal . Thomas has joint-custody of one of his sons, so he's looking for a woman who lives close to him. 'When the kids are in school, that's my free time,' he told KAIT8. 'Also, I'm not what you'd call a party person.' Thomas said he enjoys to play pool, bowl, bar-be-cue and spend time at the river with his kids, who are aged six to 11. And no need to worry about embarrassing his kids with the sign, Thomas said, because 'they think its cute'.

(CNN)38 and home. The Kentucky Wildcats' bid for perfection ended Saturday night at the hands of the Wisconsin Badgers, who rallied for a tough 71-64 victory in the NCAA men's basketball Final Four at Indianapolis. They will meet four-time national champ Duke in Monday night's title game. The Blue Devils dominated Michigan State 81-61 in the first contest of the night. National player of the year finalist Frank Kaminsky led Wisconsin with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Junior forward Sam Dekker added 16 points. "These guys just gutted it out.," Wisconsin Head Coach Bo Ryan said. "We just kept battling on every possession." Freshman Karl-Anthony Towns led Kentucky with 16 points. Sophomore Andrew Harrison chipped in 13 points while Aaron Harrison had 12 points. Kentucky came into the game as the first men's team to have a 38-0 record. But the Badgers fought back from a 60-56 deficit with 6:39 left in the game. Wisconsin went on an 8-0 run to regain a lead it never relinquished. It will be looking to win its first title since 1941. As the final minutes ticked off, the Wildcats failed to score. They were stuck on 60 for five minutes. The Harrison twins, who shot well in the first half, couldn't get much done offensively. "I didn't execute. I mean, we didn't execute as a team, but me being the point guard, I didn't do what coach told me to on a couple of occasions," Andrew Harrison said at the postgame news conference. His coach sternly interjected. "He did fine. He did fine," John Calipari said. Meanwhile, Dekker stepped up, making a layup, a three-pointer and a free throw as the Badgers scooted ahead. Calipari said the Badgers did a good job defending the Kentucky big men. "They crowded us a little bit, and (our) guys got a little tentative," he said. Calipari looked at the stat sheet: Kentucky had only six turnovers, hit 90% of its free throws, made 48% of its field goals, and lost. He said his team struggled to guard Wisconsin's players, and the rebound battle -- which Wisconsin won by 12 -- was crucial. Kamisky, who turned 22 on Saturday, was asked how the Badgers outrebounded a team that is the tallest in basketball. "We stayed into them, attacking them, trying to do whatever we can," he said. "Just trying to keep them off the glass was one of our main priorities." Freshman Justise Winslow led Duke with 19 points while national freshman of the year Jahlil Okafor had 18 points, 10 of which came in the first half. Senior guard Quinn Cook had 17. "The defense was terrific," Duke Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "We drove the ball with such strength. I actually think our offense gave our defense a push." Junior guard Denzel Valentine sparked the Spartans with three early three-pointers and finished with 22 points and a game-high 11 rebounds. Senior guard Travis Trice had 16 points. The Spartans, of the Big Ten, began the game in a higher gear than Duke, and quickly took an eight-point lead. But after Valentine hit his trio of long-range shots and Michigan State led 14-6, the Spartans struggled to get baskets the rest of the first half. "They did a good job of denying us and forcing us out (farther from the basket). We took some bad shots," Valentine said. Duke occasionally used a 2-3 zone defense that protected some of its players with foul concerns and slowed the Spartans down. But it was when Duke played man-to-man that the Spartans really had a hard time scoring. State made five of its first seven shots, then only made three more in the final 16 minutes of the opening half. The Blue Devils, of the Atlantic Coast Conference, found baskets inside as the 6-foot-11, 270-pound Okafor powered for points around the basket. Winslow used his quickness to score seven points in the first half, but he only played 12 minutes because he committed two fouls. Duke led at halftime 36-25, a turnaround of 19 points from its early deficit. "Coach always stresses that great defense leads to great offense," Cook said. The confidence gained in getting defensive stops led to the desire for Duke players to drive the lane instead of shooting three-pointers. "We saw seams that we could take advantage of," Cook said. In the second half, Duke increased its lead to 20 points, then cruised home. The Spartans were never able to cut the deficit to single digits and Duke sank its free throws in the final minutes. "We got beat and ... Duke played awfully well, but I thought it wasn't one of our better games," Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said. The Blue Devils apparently like playing in Final Fours in Indianapolis, home of the NCAA. It won titles there in 1991 and 2010. The other two crowns came in 1992 and 2001, each in Minneapolis. Duke has beaten Wisconsin this season, 80-70 in Wisconsin in December. If Duke wins Monday night, it would tie Indiana and North Carolina for third-most NCAA championships with five.

Wisconsin, which last won a title in 1941, was led by birthday boy Frank Kaminsky . Justise Winslow leads Duke with 19 points, while Jahlil Okafor has 18 . Coach K says his team's defense was "terrific"

The parents of Michael Brown have filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the city of Ferguson over the fatal shooting of their son by a white police officer, a confrontation that sparked a national protest movement. Attorneys for Brown's parents, Lesley McSpadden and Michael Brown Sr., filed the complaint at the St. Louis County Courthouse on Thursday and called a news conference to announce that the case would bring to light new forensic evidence and raise doubts about the police version of events. The lawsuit is seeking $75,000 in compensation, as well as unspecified punitive damages, and calls for a court order prohibiting the use of police techniques 'that demean, disregard, or underserve its African-American population'. Scroll down for video . Attorney Anthony Gray speaks as Michael Brown's parents, Lesley McSpadden, second from left, and Michael Brown Sr., right, listen along with attorney Benjamin Crump, left, during Thursday's news conference . The family's lawsuit is seeking $75,000 in compensation, as well as unspecified punitive damages, and calls for a court order prohibiting the use of police techniques 'that demean, disregard, or underserve its African-American population' Brown's parents didn't speak, but Lesley McSpadden wore a red hoodie bearing her son's likeness, while Mike Brown Sr. wore a St. Louis Cardinals snapback and a hoodie that said, 'Mike Brown chosen for change'. The new lawsuit alleges that Officer Darren Wilson destroyed evidence after he shot Brown on the street of the St. Louis suburb last August, saying he washed blood off his hands and cleared and bagged the gun used in the shooting. 'We expect to put on evidence that you never heard about before, that you have never seen,' Anthony Gray, one of the lawyers for Brown's family, said at Thursday's news conference. The civil suit claims Brown had his hands up in surrender when he was killed, a claim strongly disputed during the previous investigation. Gray said evidence had not been presented properly in the previous investigations and he criticized the prosecutor who had presented the case to a grand jury. 'The evidence has not changed, but the presentation of that evidence will,' he said of the civil lawsuit. The civil lawsuit names the city of Ferguson, former Police Chief Thomas Jackson and former police officer Darren Wilson as defendants. 'We expect to put on evidence that you never heard about before, that you have never seen,' said Anthony Gray, left, during Thursday's press conference . Wilson 'unjustifiably shot and killed (Brown), using an unnecessary and unreasonable amount (of) force in violation of (Brown's) constitutionally guaranteed right to life,' the lawsuit states. Jackson, who resigned last month, is included because he 'maintained general supervision' of Wilson and 'was also responsible for his hiring, training and retention,' the lawsuit states. If it comes to trial, the lawsuit could force a full review of all the evidence in the shooting and bring key witnesses to be questioned in open court, including Wilson. Attorney Benjamin Crump told reporters that the alleged subterfuge with which investigators handled the Wilson probe is indicative of a national trend. He cited the cases of Eric Garner, Floyd Dent, Tamir Riceand Antonio Zambrano-Montes. 'The narrative of the law enforcement all across the country for shooting unarmed people of color is the same: That they had no other choice,' Crump said. 'But time and time again, the objective evidence contradicts the standard police narrative.' The lawsuit also lists incidents of alleged unlawful stops and arrests of African-Americans in Ferguson. It asks for the court to assign a monitor to the city's police force for five years or until 'the city of Ferguson has fully and effectually trained all of its police officers on the constitutional requirements of the use of deadly force.' Lesley McSpadden, the mother of Michael Brown, wore a sweatshirt remembering her son during Thursday's new conference, left, while Michael Brown Sr., the father of Michael Brown, as also in attendance . Brown, 18, was unarmed and walking in the street with a friend on August 9 when Wilson told them to move to the sidewalk. That led to a heated confrontation and a scuffle between Wilson and Brown inside Wilson's squad car. Wilson shot Brown after the scuffle spilled into the street. Some witnesses said Brown was trying to surrender, but Wilson said Brown was moving toward him aggressively, forcing him to shoot. Brown's shooting led to sometimes-violent protests and spawned a national Black Lives Matter movement calling for changes in how police deal with minorities. In the end, local and federal authorities ruled that the shooting was justified. A St. Louis County grand jury and the U.S. Justice Department declined to prosecute Wilson, who resigned in November. But the Justice Department released a scathing report citing racial bias and profiling in the Ferguson Police Department and a profit-driven municipal court system that frequently targets black residents. Several city officials resigned following the review, including the city manager, police chief and municipal judge. The municipal court clerk was fired for racist emails. Brown was unarmed when he was fatally shot by a white police officer, Darren Wilson, in a St. Louis suburb in August 2014. Wilson resigned in November . Civil cases generally require a lower standard of proof than criminal cases. Jurors must find a preponderance of evidence, not proof beyond a reasonable doubt needed to convict in a criminal trial. Two decades ago, football star O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. But a civil jury awarded the Brown and Goldman families $33.5 million in wrongful-death damages. The family of Amadou Diallo, an unarmed man killed by police in 1999, settled with New York City for $3 million in 2004 after filing a $60 million lawsuit. The city did not admit any wrongdoing. The settlement came after four officers indicted in his shooting were acquitted of second-degree murder and reckless endangerment. Wrongful-death lawsuits have been filed in other recent high-profile cases, too. In New York, the family of Eric Garner is seeking $75 million in damages. Garner, who was black and had asthma, died in July after a white plainclothes officer applied what a medical examiner determined was a chokehold after Garner was accused of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes on a city street. Brown's shooting led to sometimes-violent protests and spawned a national 'Black Lives Matter' movement calling for changes in how police deal with minorities .

The United States has issued a very ominous warning to nine Iranian vessels suspected of carrying weapons to the Houthi rebels in the besieged north-African nation of Yemen. It has deployed the massive aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt and eight other combat vessels to waters off the embattled country to keep an eye on the shipment - and 'in response to the deteriorating security situation' there. The cargo ships' presence raised fears within the Saudi-led coalition which is helping Yemen's government fight off Iranian-backed rebels known as the Houthis. The coalition of Arab countries backed by America continued its aerial assault on the rebels in the country today, killing at least 20 in the capital Sana'a. Their assault is aimed at crushing the Houthis who have already taken over regions in northern Yemen and are now trying to expand their gains throughout the rest of the country. Scroll down for video . Warning: The United States has deployed the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (pictured) off the coast of Yemen in response to the worsening security situation in the country . Armed response: The Roosevelt (back) and guided-missile cruiser USS Normandy (front) are among 12 American ships stationed in the waters . Keeping watch: The US fleet is keeping an eye on eight Iranian cargo vessels suspected of carrying weapons to the Houthi rebels in Yemen . Tactical: But Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steven Warren refused to say whether the US flotilla - armed with F18 fighter jets (pictured) - would intercept the fleet if it neared a Yemeni port . Dangerous: The Roosevelt (pictured) which carries around 5,000 crew and some 60 aircraft has been deployed to the Yemeni coast along with a group of three amphibious ships and two minesweepers . Bombardment: A Saudi-led coalition has continued to bomb Yemen today (pictured), killing at least 20 people in the capital Sana'a . Collateral: Residents in Sana'a inspect a bridge which was destroyed by a Saudi-led airstrikes targeting Houthi positions in the nearby city of Ibb . Battle: The cargo ships' presence raised fears within the Saudi-led coalition which is helping Yemen's government fight off Iranian-backed rebels known as the Houthis (pictured) Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steven Warren said US ships are closely monitoring a convoy of nine Iranian cargo ships but refused to say whether they would be intercepted if they neared a Yemeni port. Warren said: 'We don't know what the Iranian convoy of ships plans to do, but we are watching them... By having American sea power in the region, we preserve our options.' He claimed there has been no communication with the ships and said reports the Americans were preparing to intercept the convoy were 'a bit over-cranked'. The convoy's presence 'is one of the factors' in any US naval engagement but not the only one, Warren added. Nine combat vessels were among 12 US ships in the region stretching from the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea. The warships included the Roosevelt which carries around 5,000 crew and some 60 aircraft, a group of three amphibious ships and two minesweepers. Three resupply ships are in the area to support combat vessels. Colonel Warren added: 'They are operating in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden with the very clear mission to ensure that shipping lanes remain open, to ensure there's freedom of navigation through those critical waterways and to ensure there's maritime security.' The Iranian vessels were suspected of carrying arms and equipment destined for the Huthi rebels, United States defense officials said on Monday. But they suggested it was more likely that Saudi Arabia, Egypt or one of their allies would intercept the vessels if necessary. An arms embargo was imposed on the Iranian-backed Houthi forces by the UN Security Council earlier this month. The Saudi-led intervention was launched in late March to help pro-government forces fighting the insurgents.

Warning: Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steven Warren said: 'We don't know what the Iranian convoy of ships plans to do, but we are watching them' Intense ground fighting and airstrikes have pushed the Arab world's poorest country to the brink of collapse. Airstrikes hit a gathering of the Houthis in the western of Ibb today and killed 20 fighters, security officials on the ground have said. Although the rebel-controlled Interior Ministry said 84 people were killed across the country in Monday's airstrikes, the casualty figures could not be independently confirmed. Saudi Arabia has accused Iran of arming the Houthis, a claim both Tehran and the rebels deny even though the Islamic Republic has provided political and humanitarian support to the Shiite group. The Shiite nation of Iran has long accused Saudi Arabia of supporting Sunni militants, including the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. In remarks Tuesday, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said he airstrikes in Yemen were prompted by the Sunni kingdom's failures elsewhere, causing what he called a 'mental imbalance.' Speaking to reporters before heading to Indonesia, Rouhani mocked Saudi Arabia by calling it a country with dashed dreams in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, adding: 'All the failures have accumulated and caused mental and emotional imbalance for that country.' The remarks came a day after U.S. Navy said aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt was steaming toward the waters off Yemen to beef up security and join other American ships that are prepared to intercept any Iranian vessels carrying weapons to the Houthi rebels.

Dozens of children witnessed a giraffe being gored to death by an antelope at a Norwegian zoo on Easter Monday. Melvin the giraffe had got his head stuck in a fence when he was attacked by an eland antelope walking in the same enclosure at Kristiansand zoo, around 200 miles south of Oslo. Zoo vets rushed to the scene, but were unable to save the five-year-old giraffe, who died in front of shocked families. Tragedy: Melvin the giraffe was attacked by an antelope walking in the same enclosure at Kristiansand Zoo in southern Norway . Around 30 people witnessed the unprovoked attack at Dyreparken Kristiansand on Monday. Melvin was a firm favourite among young visitors, having been named in a readers' competition in a national newspaper when he was born at the zoo in 2010. Witness Øivind Hansen, who was visiting the zoo with his family and photographed the event said even his 23-year-old daughter had come home crying after the incident. 'It was very traumatic. People were crying everywhere,' he told Verdens Gang. Melvin had gotten his horns stuck in the enclosure's fence when suddenly the eland, the second largest antelope in the world, suddenly attacked. Deadly attack: The large eland antelope gored five-year-old Melvin to death in an unprovoked attack after giraffe had gotten his head stuck in the enclosure's fence . Horrible scenes: Around 30 people, many of them children, witnessed Melvin, who was born at the zoo in 2010 and named in a local newspaper competition, die in the enclosure . 'He was panicking and tugged and tore to free himself, and then came a rather large animal with sharp horns and ran right into him,' Mr Hansen adds. 'It is incredibly sad,'  Dyreparken's chief executive told Dagbladet.no. 'He was alive when our veterinarian came to the scene, but died while he tried to save him.' 'Melvin was gored right near his lungs and heart, and the injuries were so serious that they killed him,' veterinarian Rolf Arne Ølberg, who was called to the scene, said. Mr Ølberg added that the two animals have been walking in the same enclosure since Melvin's birth in 2010 and has no idea why the antelope launched the deadly attack on the young giraffe.

These heart-stopping pictures show the moment a baby hippo was thrown into the air as it was mauled to death after getting caught up in a fight between two adults. The helpless five-day-old hippopotamus was seen being hurled into the air after it strayed into the firing line of an adult male, which was tussling with its rival. The calf's mother watched in horror as the hippo was flung into the air before being dragged along the surface of the water in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, in eastern South Africa. Scroll down for video . Shocking: A five-day old baby hippopotamus is lifted up into the air as it gets caught up in a deadly fight between two adults . Deadly: The calf was dragged along the surface of water and died hours after the tussle, with its mother looking on in horror . The calf's mother watched in horror as the hippo was flung into the air before being dragged along the surface of the water in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, in eastern South Africa . The two male hippos had been fighting for some time and the mother of the calf stayed with her herd, possibly believing it safer to stay out of harm's way herself. Her decision proved fatal for the baby when one of the brawling adults grabbed the calf between its jaws. Stacey Farrell, a 30-year-old tour operator for Shoreline Hippo and Safari, looked on with horror as the calf was caught up in the deadly fray. She said: 'For hours she chased away the sub-adults and younger hippos from her little baby as I believe she knew they would be too rough.

QPR boss Chris Ramsey believes Sunday's west London derby is more crucial to his side than it is to title-chasing Chelsea. Jose Mourinho's Blues visit Loftus Road looking for a win that will maintain their position as firm favourites to claim the Premier League crown - whilst QPR need the points in their own battle to avoid dropping out of the division all together. The Rs could start Sunday's derby just one point off the foot of the table despite taking four points from their previous two fixtures. Chris Ramsey believes Sunday's west London derby is more crucial to QPR than it is to Chelsea . Ramsey puts QPR wideman Junior Hoilett through his paces during the Hoops' training session on Friday . And, with games running out, Ramsey feels Chelsea's lead at the top means the game takes on extra significance for the hosts. 'It's a big game for us,' he said. 'They can afford to have a blip and still win the league but on the flip side, we need to pick up every point we can. 'We all know what it means to the supporters - at this stage of the season, with what is at stake for both teams, it gives it added spice.' Charlie Austin celebrates with Matt Phillips after scoring during QPR's 3-3 draw with Aston Villa on Tuesday . Defender Clint Hill, who scored in Tuesday night's 3-3 draw at Aston Villa, enjoyed the taste of victory in his first west London derby when QPR won 1-0 at home to Chelsea in 2011. That game may now be remembered more for the verbal clash between John Terry and Anton Ferdinand which landed the Chelsea skipper a £220,000 fine and a four-game ban for racial abuse, but Hill wants to see the positives from that performance replicated on Sunday. 'I think we shocked them that day,' he told Hoops Player. 'If we can show the same desire both on and off the pitch then hopefully we can get a result again. Nobody expects us to win but we believe we can give them a game. 'We are playing Chelsea who are top of the Premier League and if you can't get up for that challenge then there's something wrong.' Former striker Heidar Helguson celebrates after scoring in QPR's 1-0 home win over Chelsea in October 2011 . Defender Clint Hill believes QPR can get a result if the side show the same desire as they did four years ago .

Sportsmail takes a look at 10 things we have learned from an entertaining weekend of Premier League fixtures, as well as intriguing statistics from the Football League. 1. Jose Mourinho says injuries to his strikers have made him take a cautious approach to the last few games wrapping up the title, but the defensive side of his team has stayed remarkably settled all season. The 0-0 draw at Arsenal was the 20th time in 33 Premier League games that the Chelsea boss started with his favourite ‘back seven’ of Thibaut Courtois in goal, with Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, John Terry and Cesar Azpilicueta protected by Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas. No other top-flight manager has come close to that level of consistency in selection. (From left) Gary Cahill, John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic are three of Jose Mourinho's settled back seven . 2. Mario Balotelli’s first start in a Premier League game since the 2-1 defeat by Chelsea in November was as frustrating as all the ones that went before. The Italian produced only one off-target shot at goal before getting hooked after 75 minutes, and defender Martin Skrtel played twice as many accurate passes in the forward half as Balotelli’s nine. His total distance run while he was on the pitch (4.4 miles) was over a mile less than Albion striker Saido Berahino (5.5) who was substituted at the same time. Mario Balotelli failed to impress during Liverpool's 0-0 Premier League draw with West Brom . 3. Mauricio Pochettino, who demands a high-energy pressing game from his teams, must have been delighted that they collectively just outran Southampton to earn their 2-2 draw at St Mary’s. Spurs are currently second behind battling Burnley in the EA Sports Performance figures for the average total distance run per game. That’s a huge contrast to last year under first Andre Villas-Boas and then Tim Sherwood, when they finished bottom of the same table. Mauricio Pochettino points out instructions to his Tottenham players during the 2-2 draw with Southampton . 4. Louis van Gaal blamed a lack of sharpness for Manchester United’s defeat at Everton, saying they lost three duels in a row before James McCarthy’ s fifth minute goal. It didn’t get any better after that. Paddy McNair won five of seven duels but otherwise Daley Blind (5 of 8) and Ander Herrera (5 of 9) were the only other United players to win more than half of their individual battles. James McCarthy slots past David de Gea after avoiding the challenges of Daley Blind and Paddy McNair . 5. Robert Huth was nicknamed the Berlin Wall by Stoke fans and he’s brought the same ‘they shall not pass’ mentality to Leicester’s defence. Since signing for Nigel Pearson on a loan deal at the end of January, the 30-year-old has now played nine games and ended on the losing side only three times. Huth was Leicester’s best defender as they scrapped out the 1-0 win at Burnley, which got them out of the relegation zone, making 14 clearances along the way. Robert Huth (right) has played a major role in Leicester's recent run of positive results . 6. Nathan Dyer took the chance to remind Swansea boss Garry Monk of what he can do after suffering a frustrating few months on the sidelines. The 27-year-old winger, an automatic pick in the first half of the season, made his first start since early February in the 3-2 win at Newcastle. Against a Toon team without a recognised left back he was in his element – winning three free-kicks as he ran at the defence and covering more distance at sprint speed than any other player. Nathan Dyer (left) showed Swansea boss Garry Monk what he'd been missing upon his return from injury . 7. Getting James Chester fit again will be a crucial factor for Hull as Steve Bruce fights to keep his side out of the relegation zone through a tough set of remaining fixtures. The 2-0 win at Crystal Palace was the 26-year-old Wales international’s first 90-minute appearance since dislocating his shoulder at West Ham in January. He was a key factor in keeping in-form Glenn Murray quiet and also composed on the ball giving it away only five times in 90 minutes and winning it back on all but one of those occasions. James Chester (centre) battles for the ball with Crystal Palace forward Glenn Murray on Saturday . 8. Blackburn need to find more goals from the rest of their team if they are to cash in on the prolific form of front men Rudy Gestede and Jordan Rhodes. Rhodes got his 20th of the campaign in the 2-2 draw at Huddersfield while Gestede reached 19 – and if he gets another against Ipswich next weekend Gary Bowyer’s side will join Watford as the only English clubs with two strikers who have got 20 or more League goals. The combination of Troy Deeney (21) and Odion Ighalo (20) has taken the Hornets into the Premier League because the rest of the side have weighed in with enough to make it 90 in total. Blackburn, 13 points outside the play-off places, have scored a total of 63. Jordan Rhodes celebrates his 31st-minute striker during Blackburn's 2-2 draw with Huddersfield . 9. Coventry still need a point at Crawley on the final day to be certain of staying in League One, but either way it’s likely they will immediately be looking for their 10th manager in as many years. Temporary boss Tony Mowbray turned on his team after the 3-1 home defeat by Crewe, accusing some of 'finding it difficult to play'. The former Celtic and Middlesbrough boss has a contract only until the end of next Sunday’s game and has already told friends he plans to be back at his home in the North East the next day. Coventry boss Tony Mowbray (left) turned on his team after the 3-1 home defeat by Crewe on Saturday . 10. Bury stepped in to rescue the career of Tom Soares when he was let go by Stoke in 2012, after starting just five Premier League games in four years following his £1.25million move from Crystal Palace. The former England Under 21 international midfielder couldn’t find another club – and had to play for nothing at first to earn a contract. Three years later he’s close to repaying them by earning promotion. He scored one and made the other in the 2-0 win over Wimbledon which means a last-day victory against already-relegated Tranmere could yet pinch third place from Southend.

Jose Mourinho's defensive set-up has remained settled all season . Chelsea manager has relied on Gary Cahill, John Terry and Co . Mario Balotelli couldn't make the most his latest Liverpool start . Louis van Gaal blamed a lack of sharpness for United’s defeat at Everton .

Chaos erupted at an Easter egg hunt in Sacramento when adults launched in trying to grab sweets for their children. The event was an attempt at breaking the record for the world's biggest, with 500,000 eggs laid out for thousands of youngsters. But it descended into mayhem as parents raced into the field armed with baskets of their own. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Chaos: An attempt at the world's biggest Easter egg hunt in Sacramento became shambolic on Sunday . Mayhem: Children as young as two were pushed to the ground as adults invaded the children-only event . 'There was no organization at all, they all trampled each other. Little two- and three-year-olds were crying. 'The parents were scooping up all of the eggs for their older kids and it was horrible,' mother Tessa Moon told CBS. Another mother, Kori Houser, told Sacramento Bee her toddler Chase only got three eggs: 'It was crazy. Adults were trampling over us.' Footage of the hunt, which did not break the world record because they missed the deadline to apply, shows children as young as two being squashed by teenagers and adults weave between them picking up candy. According to Sacramento Bee, toddlers were seen crying and parents were being pushed around in the calamity. Eventually, the paper reported, a screaming match broke out between parents. Enraged parents said older children were rushing around to snap up candy meant for youngsters . The event, which did not break the world record, was raising money for victims of human trafficking . Children were presented with 500,000 eggs on the Capitol Mall lawn on Sunday . Divided: Some families left half-way through to escape the chaos . However, the organizers urged people to remember the reason for the event: to raise money for survivors of human trafficking. They spent $10,000 transporting 510,000 plastic eggs from Florida. Children raced to collect as many as they could, and later exchanged them for candy. A VIP off-shoot of the event featured some plastic eggs stuffed with food vouchers. It cost $20 to take part. 'We’re doing this to raise awareness for Blue Heart International the nonprofit my wife and I started,' Blake McCall, founder of Blue Heart International, told CBS. 'We’re really passionate about helping children rescued out of human trafficking in our community.' Organizers reminded people the event was planned for a good cause .

All babies cry. But it wasn't hunger or a soggy diaper that reduced one baby to tears. Crystal McNaughton from Long Beach, California, filmed the moment her newborn son Paul started welling up to a rousing song from Glee. As the Lea Michele version of the track O Holy Night plays, footage shows a look of sadness spreading across the tiny infant's face. There, there: Crystal McNaughton from Long Beach, California, filmed the moment her newborn son Paul started welling up to a rousing song from Glee . When the chorus builds, tears appear in Paul's eyes and his lips start quivering. At that point McNaughton stops the track playing on her laptop. 'It's OK honey, it's just a song,' she reassures. She then starts the track up again. Emotion quickly gets the better of little Paul, and he repeats the same tearing-up routine. 'Oh honey,' his mother says sniffling - apparently she got caught up in the emotional moment too.

EU leaders have agreed a package of measures to tackle the escalating migrant crisis in the Mediterranean – with pledges to send in warships and triple funding for rescue patrols. After years of dithering, an emergency EU summit yesterday agreed to lay the groundwork for military action against traffickers after the deaths of some 1,700 refugees in the last week alone. Within days, British warship HMS Bulwark and the German supply ship Berlin are expected to be sent to the region in the biggest sign of the European Union's belated commitment to the cause. Prime Minister David Cameron, who is two weeks from a national election in which immigration is a major issue, stressed that Britain was not planning to bring any more migrants back to the UK. Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, whose country has been faced with almost daily tragedy as rescuers pluck bodies from the sea, called the EU measures 'a giant step forward.' But other EU leaders were less optimistic, with Malta's prime minister, Joseph Muscat, saying the assets being proposed would 'never be enough' to address the problem. 'A giant step forward': Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi speaks after EU leaders agreed a package of measures to tackle the growing migrant crisis including extra military and a tripling of funding for patrols . Jovial: Danish Prime minister Helle Thorning Schmidt and her British counterpart David Cameron embrace before posing for a family photo during a European Union leaders summit in Brussels . The pledge of resources came as victims of the worst-ever migrant disaster in the Mediterranean were buried Thursday in Malta. Two dozen wooden caskets containing the only bodies recovered from a weekend capsizing off Libya that left at least 800 migrants feared dead were laid out for a memorial service. None of the bodies was identified: One casket had 'No 132' scrawled on it, referring to the number of the DNA sample taken from the corpse in case a relative ever comes to claim it. For several years as death tolls mounted, EU leaders have done little more than deplore the loss of lives and mark tragedies with moments of silence and wreaths instead of fundamental action. When Libya disintegrated politically after the overthrow of longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi and unrest spread in neighboring countries, Europe failed to take forceful action. Yesterday, EU leaders pledged to do more, committing at least nine vessels to monitor the waters for traffickers and intervene in case of need. Other member states, from France to Latvia, also lined up more ships, planes and helicopters that could be used to rescue migrants. The member states agreed to triple funding to €9million (£7m) a month for the EU's border operation that patrols the Mediterranean. Seek and destroy: Britain will send one of its biggest warships, HMS Bulwark (above), to the Mediterranean within days as part of plans to targets boats used by human traffickers . Escalating crisis: A migrant is stretchered off to hospital by the Italian Red Cross at the port of Salerno after being rescued by the tanker Chimera along with 545 other refugees in the Mediterranean . They also assigned EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini to line up the diplomatic options that would allow EU militaries to strike against the boats used by traffickers. Officials said the lack of a strong Libyan government would likely make UN backing necessary. 'Leaders have already pledged significantly greater support, including many more vessels, aircraft and experts' than had been anticipated before the summit, EU President Donald Tusk said. Despite the sudden deluge of goodwill, huge questions remained about whether it would be enough to defeat the smugglers and human traffickers. 'Right now, it's a question of fixing yesterday's errors,' French President Francois Hollande said. He said the EU would hold a summit in Malta with African countries by this summer to see how the continents can work together to better deal with a crisis that has grown dramatically in recent years. In contrast to the Italian premier, the head of another Mediterranean nation on the frontline of the tragedies was far less enthusiastic. For tiny Malta, the smallest EU member state with a population of 450,000, the summit produced nothing particularly new, apart from a fresh resolve to break up the smuggling networks. The assets being proposed 'will never be enough,' Malta's prime minister, Joseph Muscat said. 'It is definitely not enough if the numbers that are being communicated about prospective migratory flows are anything to go by.' On the offensive: EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini (pictured) has been assigned to line up the diplomatic options that would allow EU militaries to strike against the boats used by traffickers . In the past week alone, more than 10,000 people have been plucked from the seas between Italy and Libya as desperate migrants fleeing war and poverty threw their lot in with smugglers who charged up to $2,000 for a spot on overcrowded boats to make the perilous crossing. At least 1,300 people have died in April alone, putting 2015 on track to be the deadliest year ever. Ending that is Europe's main challenge. Even optimists say any measures agreed at Thursday's summit would not fully stem the tide of unstable ships crossing the Mediterranean. But Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte insisted that Europe should not take the brunt of blame. 'We also ask that Africa, the source of the problem, also collectively takes up its responsibility,' Rutte said. 'Last time I checked Libya was in Africa, not Europe.' German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande arrive at an EU emergency summit in Brussels seeking a solution to the migrants crisis . Over the past year, what little political structure Libya had has collapsed. There are two rival governments, neither with any real authority, and each fighting the other on the ground. Local militias hold sway around the country, some of them with hard-line Islamist ideologies, and the Islamic State group has emerged as a strong and brutal force. The makes any military action against traffickers there even more complicated. 'Any kind of military action can only be based on international law,' said German Chancellor Angela Merkel. 'There are two possibilities: either a U.N. Security Council Resolution or a unity government in Libya. We have neither at the moment.' Europe itself was hardly a picture of unity when it came to the difficult issue of resettling migrants. Countries like Germany, Sweden, France and Italy have dealt with a disproportionate number of asylum requests while many eastern and Baltic member states take hardly any. Five of the 28 member states are handling almost 70 per cent of the migrants coming in. Still, despite the differences, Finland's prime minister Alexander Stubb was hopeful that this time Europe could put up a show of solidarity. 'I hope we'll get it right this time,' he said.

Famed for phenomenal cuisine, majestic rural landscapes and vibrant cities, Vietnam offers an undisputed sensory overload. But there's one sight the becomes most engrained in the memories of even the most seasoned traveller - the wacky things people carry on the back of a motorbike or scooter. Lee Thompson's seen plenty in his 14 years as an award-winning photojournalist covering the civil war in Libya, the revolution in Egypt, the tsunami in Japan and other extensive travels before he co-founded The Flash Pack, a small group flashpacking tour company. But even he repeatedly marvels at what the men and women of southeast Asia can balance and transport on just a scooter or a beaten up old motorcycle, and on one of his company's Vietnam & Cambodia tours with a group of nine this month he was compelled to capture some of the finest. There's seemingly no measure to what can be packed onto the back of a bike or scooter in southeast Asia . The Flash Pack's Lee Thompson captured this man with scores of live chickens in weaved baskets this month in Sapa, Vietnam . That's one way to pop a wheelie! A man pulls a packed trailer from a loading dock at the Mekong river crossing in Vietnam with a motorbike . In this series of images from a single 14-day trip, he photographs a man casually puffing on a cigarette and carrying what looks like more than 20 live chickens in woven cages perched on the back of his scooter in Sapa, Vietnam. At a Mekong river crossing in Vietnam he is there to watch a motorcyclist dragging a massive trailer out of a boat loading dock on a bike, with the load so heavy he continuously pops wheelies, all the while not in the slightest bit bothered his two wheels have become one. Thompson enjoys the fact that what looks quirky to a Brit is simply every day life for the locals. In Vietnam alone there are more than 37 million motorbikes or scooters, most definitely the vehicle of choice in traffic that would make western country's peak hours look tame. 'Unlike other tour companies we venture in to remote parts of Sapa where it's not unusual to see bikes carrying livestock like chickens, pigs and goats - it makes really great photographs but it's just a way of life for the locals,' said Thompson. In Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, all that's needed to move some large piles of chairs is two wheels and some clever packing . Getting around on two wheels is a way of life in Vietnam where there are more than 37 million motorbikes (and only a few million cars) 'I watched as one of the bikers tried to work out how he would carry eight goats on his bike, he fell three times before he finally got going and the goats didn't seem to happy about it!' A family of five and a smiling group of four adults pile onto scooters to get from A to B while another transport a giant pile of chairs stacked on a tray from one side of the city to the other with the power of just his humble two-wheeler. With limited resources comes innovation, as is evident with one mother who has attached a cane high chair to the front of her vehicle to make it more comfortable for her to transport her toddler around town in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. 'Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh are full of bikes and it makes the morning commute in London seem easy,' Thompson said. 'Even though most of our group was very well travelled the amount of bikes on the road still comes as a shock in these amazing countries - it's crazy!' A mother fits a high chair is onto the front of a scooter for her toddler in this shot captured in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam . A bike that's seen better days carrying pigs is not an unusual sight on the road to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, says Thompson . A family drive is a cosy affair for this five-some packed onto a scooter in Hanoi . The man on the back of this scooter in Hanoi, Vietnam, holds a ladder and some building materials as they weave their way through traffic . Thompson says the eight goats in the cage on the back on this bike 'didn't seem happy' as the rider tipped them over three times . The commute in Vietnam makes the daily battle on the Tube that Londoners endure look easy, but they don't seem to mind . The morning commute in Ho Chi Minh City is certainly less stuffy than piling into the Tube on a Monday morning . And here are some more unique uses for scooters... An assortment of exotic fish are in bags and ready for sale, cleverly attached to this man's scooter, in Hạ Long Bay, Vietnam . A basket vendor balances an array of products on the back of this small motorised bike in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam . There's only one way to transport a bike that isn't working in Vietnam ... on the back of one of the country's 37 million bikes or scooters .

Carlo Ancelotti has revealed Karim Benzema will miss Real Madrid's La Liga game at home to Malaga on Saturday after the Frenchman limped out of training with a knee problem. Benzema, who picked up the injury in Tuesday's 0-0 Champions League quarter-final first leg draw at Atletico Madrid, should be fit for the return game at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday. 'Benzema is not available (for Saturday) but we will have him back for the next game,' added the Italian. Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has been ruled out of his side's La Liga match against Malaga . Benzema rolls around on the floor during Real Madrid's quarter-final clash against rivals Atletico . Losing their first-choice striker, even if just for one match, is a blow to the European champions at a crucial stage of the season. Benzema has scored 15 goals during the La Liga campaign and six in the Champions League this term. Ancelotti is likely to bring Isco into the starting line-up on Saturday, with the Spain midfielder operating in a central playmaking role alongside James Rodriguez.

Dick Advocaat will not make the same mistake he did during his first season at Rangers by playing down the significance of the Old Firm derby. The 67-year-old takes charge of Sunderland for the first time on home soil tomorrow with North-East adversaries Newcastle the visitors. It was back in 1998 that Advocaat said the Old Firm clash was just another game. Celtic won 5-1 and the Dutch boss was criticised by fans and the media for under-estimating the intensity of the rivalry. Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat insists he will not underestiamte the signficance of the Wear-Tyne Derby . Advocaat and assistant manager Paul Bracewell oversee training ahead of Sunday's crucial derby fixture . Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe (centre) trains with his team-mates ahead of the game with Newcastle . Rangers' Rod Wallace (centre) runs forward with the ball as his side are thrashed 5-1 by Celtic in 1998 . Advocaat had failed to recognise the significance of the Old Firm fixture and this led to a humiliating loss . He recalled: 'To be honest, I did not realise at that moment it was so huge. 'We lost that game and I remember saying in the press conference when they were really upset, 'It is no problem for me because it is just one of 38 games and we will not lose any more'. 'I would not say that anymore! But we became champions that year, six points ahead of Celtic, and won the treble.' Advocaat, though, does admit that his thoughts are trained on three points and not the notion of regional bragging rights. Indeed, the Black Cats are one point above the relegation zone and could be in the bottom three by kick-off. 'Every game is a chance to get a result – and that starts on Sunday,' said Advocaat, who could start Adam Johnson for the first time following his arrest on suspicion of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl. Sunderland's Adam Johnson was recently arrested on suspicion of sexual activity with an under-age girl . Advocaat is still considering starting the 27-year-old England international in the Wear-Tyne derby . 'If we win the fans might like me, yes, but I would prefer it if they loved me at the end of the season because that would mean we have stayed up.' Sunderland have won just twice at home all season. They have struggled amid an atmosphere of unrest at the Stadium of Light, but that should change tomorrow given the unveiling of Advocaat and the opponents. 'For us, this must be a weapon,' said Advocaat when asked about the home crowd. 'That is the reason I said it is so important to get them behind us, because it is an extra weapon. If the players feel that, they will give even more and I expect that the fans will do that. This is a special game.' Sunderland midfielder Will Buckley (centre) dribbles with the ball during training at the Academy of Light .

Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat insists he is not underestimating the significance of Sunday's game against local rivals Newcastle . While in charge of Rangers in 1998, Advocaat made the mistake of playing down the Old Firm game against Celtic and lost 5-1 . The Dutchman does not want a repeat of that embarrassment . He is considering starting winger Adam Johnson for the game, for the first time for his arrest on suspicion of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl .

It is one of the biggest celebrations in the Catholic calendar and the Spanish Royal Family kept up their tradition of spending the Easter holiday on the island of Mallorca. King Felipe, Queen Letizia and their daughters Princess Sofia and Princess Leonor looked immaculate as they arrived at Palma cathedral on the Balearic isle. Queen Letizia, 42, teamed a white jacket with smart black trousers and heels for the service while her daughters wore pretty above-the-knee outfits reflecting the spring sunshine.

It is the first time that Princess Leonor, 9, and Princess Sofia, 7, have been spotted at a public engagement for several months; they are on the island for the family's annual holiday at the Marivent Palace royal holiday residence. Well-wishers were in their hundreds, all keen to catch a glimpse of the young princesses who have been on a break from royal duties since appearing at a military parade back in October 2014. King Felipe VI, 47, has not yet completed a full year on the throne but looked happy to be continuing the family tradition of spending Easter away from the royal residence in Madrid. The family were also joined by Queen Sofia, who looked elegant in a grey overcoat. The former Queen is reported to have landed on Mallorca ahead of the rest of her family, taking time to enjoy a break with her sister Irene. Spring in her step: Queen Letizia arrives at the cathedral in Mallorca's capital. Right, her elegant daughters (from left) Princess Sofia and Princess Leonor are the double of their mother .

Memories of drunken escapades may make us blush, but now a computer can use similar facial flushes to recognise people who have had one drink too many. Greek researchers created the algorithm, which determines a person’s state of intoxication by looking at the temperature of their face - especially the forehead and nose. And they say the technology could one day be installed in cars to spot drink drivers and stop them starting the ignition. Researchers from the University of Patras took thermal infrared photographs of 41 volunteers’ faces, before and after drinking four glasses of wine. The scientists then used artificial neural networks to compare the sober (left) and drunken images (right) pixel-by-pixel (a single pixel is shown above the left eyebrow) Researchers from the University of Patras took thermal infrared photographs of 41 volunteers’ faces, before and after drinking four glasses of wine. Thermographic cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the spectrum and create images of the radiation, where warm areas are shown red and cooler areas, blue, for example. Many people feel warmer and have hot flushes after drinking alcohol, caused by the drug affecting brain chemistry and the circulatory system. When alcohol is absorbed into the blood stream it increases heart rate and blood pressure and blood vessels open wide to allow for more rapid flow, which causes some people to flush. Alcohol also affects the hypothalamus, which regulates the body's temperature. Thermographic cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the spectrum and create images of the radiation, where warm areas are shown red and cooler areas, blue, for example. In the study, the researchers found that the temperature of the forehead and to a lesser extent, the nose, is the best indication of a person’s drunken state and built an algorithm to recognise intoxication with 90% accuracy. While the alcohol got some volunteers more tipsy than others, they all had a blood alcohol content of at least 50 milligrams of alcohol in every 100 millilitres of blood. This figure is the drink driving limit in Scotland as well as most European countries – but slightly below the English and Welsh limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. The scientists then used artificial neural networks to compare the sober and drunken images pixel-by-pixel. They found that the temperature of the forehead, and to a lesser extent the nose, is the best indication of a person’s drunken state and built an algorithm to recognise intoxication with 90 per cent accuracy. The scientists wrote in the study, published in the journal Forensic Journal International: ‘It was found that it was mainly the face forehead that changed thermal behaviour with alcohol consumption.' The algorithm worked even on faces that it hadn’t been trained on, and without comparing them to images of people when they were sober.

Alcohol also affects the hypothalamus, which regulates the body's temperature. Just three hours behind the wheel at night can make motorists drive as badly as if they were drunk, scientists claim. Driver tiredness after a few hours has the same effect as being over the drink-driving limit, a 2011 study revealed. Even two hours of motorway driving in the dark can affect performance so severely it is the same as having a couple of drinks. It's estimated that one-fifth of all traffic accidents are due to sleepiness behind the wheel and one in three people admit to nodding off while driving at night. The researchers hope their technology could be used by the police to spot intoxicated people who might start trouble at football matches, for example and say it could be installed in cars and lorries to spot potential drink drivers. It could perhaps work in tandem with other technology to stop a car from being able to be driven. Scientists in Germany are already working on a way to stop drink drivers getting behind the wheel by analysing their speechm for example. They announced in December they have created the first library of drunk speech patterns, which could be used to predict drunkenness by listening for vocal cues. Called the Alcohol Language Corpus, the database was made by researchers from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the Institute of Legal Medicine between 2007 and 2009 by giving people too much alcohol to drink, before recording conversations conducted in a stopped car, where the drunk person was sitting in the passenger seat. There are currently conversations from 162 German men and women in the publicly-available audio database. While the alcohol got some more tipsy than others, all the volunteers in the study had a blood alcohol content of 50 milligrams of alcohol in every 100 millilitres of blood, which is the drink driving limit in Scotland as well as most European countries. A stock image illustrating drink driving is shown . The researchers hope their technology could be used by the police to spot intoxicated people who might start trouble at football matches, for example and say it could be installed in cars and lorries to spot potential drink drivers. Currently, breathalyzers (pictured) are used to measure alcohol content . From this, an algorithm capable of detecting whether someone is drunk by listening in on slurring speech patterns, was created by computer scientists at Queens College and Columbia University. They found they could detect drunken speech patterns much like identifying an accent. Drunken speech hallmarks include stammering and stuttering. Voices also tend to rise in pitch and words begin to slur, they said. It is hoped that the software could be used alongside devices such as locks and immobilisers to make it impossible for people to drive when drunk – perhaps by asking them a few questions while analysing the driver’s voice. ‘The cars themselves could listen to the driver, detect that the potential driver is intoxicated, and prevent the car from starting,’ the researchers explained.

(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 .

Four teenagers have been caught on camera kicking a rare bird and throwing another out of a window. The gang broke into an aviary and bundled 200 of the animals into sacks and containers around 3.30am on January 12. CCTV showed the men took the birds to a tower block in Walsall, West Midlands, and dumped them on the floor before kicking them and forcing them out of barely open windows. Four teenagers have been caught on camera kicking a rare bird, thought to be in the bag above, and throwing another out of a window in Walsall, West Midlands, on January 12 . The birds were also jammed into drawers, squeezed to death and even chased by a dog, Walsall Magistrates Court heard. One resident reported that a dead bird was posted through his letterbox while others were dropped through windows. Three men and a youth have been convicted of their involvement and will be sentenced next month. Chad Worgan, from Walsall, admitted an offence of receiving stolen goods and causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal on the basis that he kicked a pigeon. The 19-year-old knew the animals were in the bags and had a 'sick grin across his face' as he appearing to grab one of the perched birds and visibly squeeze it, the court heard. Thomas Knox, from Bloxwich, denied the same charges. A dog belonging to Knox, also 19, was let into the flat to terrorise the birds, it was revealed. Jake Higgs, 23, from Bloxwich, admitted receiving stolen goods but denied causing unnecessary suffering. A 16-year-old from Erdington, Birmingham, also attended but cannot be named for legal reasons. The birds were also jammed into drawers, shoved through barely open windows (above), squeezed to death and even chased by a dog, Walsall Magistrates Court heard . All four were found guilty of the charges after a trial last week. One of the men (above) can be seen with a grin on his face during the attack . All four were found guilty of the charges after a trial last week. Bob Thomas, chairman of the bench, said their actions amounted to 'joint enterprise'. He added: 'They arrive with a dog and are seen to be carrying a variety of bags and containers. These are emptied by them and both a large number of dead and live birds are seen. 'The CCTV shows all of them entering the property together and all playing some part in the birds' suffering. 'We are satisfied that they were all aware of the contents of the bags.' A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: 'The birds were stolen from an aviary in the Brownhills area in the early hours of January 12. 'They were then taken to Dolphin House where they were emptied onto the landing area of the block.' The birds were stolen from rare bird breeder Lee Williams who had built up his collection of rare jays, finches, doves, budgerigars, quails and pigeons over a number of years. In 2008, the dad-of-two considered giving up his passion after 270 animals worth £4,000 were stolen. Speaking at the time, his wife Michelle said: 'This has devastated him. His bird breeding plays a major part of his life.'

Dover police say a man they believe to be the so-called 'rat burglar' who cut holes to tunnel into buildings has been arrested in Maryland. Authorities said in a news release Thursday that 49-year-old Thomas K. Jenkins of Capitol Heights, Maryland, was arrested last month by deputies with the Prince George's County Sheriff's Office. 'Rat burglar': Thomas K. Jenkins, pictured is accused of robbing 18 Dover businesses . From September 2014 to February 2015, Jenkins allegedly carried out 18 commercial robberies in Dover, Delaware, authorities there said. 'During the investigation it was learned that the Prince George’s County Sheriff’s Department had a series of burglaries that were similar in nature to the eighteen committed in Dover,' the release said. Thomas Jenkins has been accused by the Dover Police Department of robbing multiple businesses. They are: . Maple Dale Country Club . Manlove Auto Parts . Sovereign Properties . Morgan Properties . U and I Builders . AMCO Check Cashing . Colonial Investment . 1st Capital Mortgage . Advantage Travel . Ancient Way Massage . Tranquil Spirit Massage/Spa . Christopher  Asay Massage . Morgan Communities . Vincenzo's Restaurant . Happy Fortune Chinese Restaurant . Happy 13 Liquors . Del-One Credit Union . Pizza Time . Melvin's Auto Service . Source: Dover Police Department/The News Journal . A car was found behind a building where a robbery took place and led  deputies in Maryland to consider Jenkins as a suspect, authorities said. Law enforcement later found Jenkin's car and tracked where he went, Dover police said. Police say Jenkins had cut a hole in the roof of a commercial business in Maryland on March 9 and deputies arrested him as he fled. According to Dover police, 'Jenkins was found in possession of .45-caliber handgun that was stolen from a business in Delaware State Police Troop 9 jurisdiction. A search of Jenkins vehicle revealed an additional .45-caliber handgun stolen from the same business.' Jenkins is being held in Maryland and will face 72 charges involving the 18 burglaries in Dover when he is returned to Delaware. The charges he is facing break down to: four counts of wearing a disguise during the commission of a felony, eighteen counts of third-degree burglary, eighteen counts of possession of burglary tools, fourteen counts of theft under $1,500, and eighteen counts of criminal mischief, two of which are felonies, authorities said. Cpl. Mark Hoffman with the Dover Police Department told the News Journal that Delaware State Police are planning to file charges over a 19th robbery at Melvin's Auto Service, which reportedly occurred in a part of Dover where jurisdiction is held by state police. Sharon Hutchison, who works at one of the businesses Jenkins allegedly robbed, told the newspaper 'He cut through two layers of drywall, studs and insulation.' The Prince George's County Sheriff's Department did not immediately return a request for information on what charges Jenkins is facing there.

The daughter of troubled ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne has been mugged by a gang on bikes in central London who took her phone which reportedly had private texts from her father. Former model Bianca Gascoigne, 28, was targeted by the gang of eight on Tuesday afternoon as she talked on her mobile while walking in Marylebone. The attackers are thought to have grabbed her phone and then attempted to snatch her bag, but ran away when she fought them off. Miss Gascoigne, pictured with her father Paul and brother Regan. Mr Gascoigne adopted the 28-year-old after he married her mother Sheryl in 1996 . The theft reportedly left her in tears and she is said to have been left devastated given the nature of the text messages stored on her phone. According to the Sun's Dan Sales Miss Gascoigne told a friend: 'I was walking across the road and was suddenly surrounded by this gang of eight. 'They were all hooded up so I couldn't see them properly. It was terrifying.' A friend also told the newspaper: 'She's furious because these lowlifes will be able to go through private texts, some were with her dad Paul.' Miss Gascoigne later took to her Twitter page, where she too branded the muggers 'low lifes'. She posted: 'Beautiful day shame it just got ruined by being robbed! Got ambushed by a bunch of lowlifes on bikes.' Miss Gascoigne took to her Twitter page after the attack, where she branded her muggers 'lowlifes on bikes' A Scotland Yard spokesman said: 'Police were informed of the theft of a mobile phone, which happened at about 3.45pm on Tuesday in Wimpole Road, Marylebone. 'An appointment has been made to speak to the victim.' Mr Gascoigne adopted Miss Gascoigne and her brother Mason after he married her mother Sheryl in 1996. They also have a child together called Regan. The couple divorced two years later but the 28-year-old and the former England international are still said to be incredibly close. She has appeared on several reality TV shows including Celebrity Love Island and Celebrity Coach Trip and currently runs the Gaslight club in central London. Bianca Gascoigne, the daughter of troubled ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne, who was mugged by a gang and had her phone taken, which was reportedly full of private texts from her father . Last year, Miss Gascoigne hit out at Twitter trolls who attacked her saying she should have done more to help her step-father, who has had a well-documented battle with alcohol abuse. It came after he was led away from his home Sandbanks, Dorset by police and an ambulance crew following worried neighbours' calls to emergency services. One online bully told the glamour model her step-father was 'done' and another branded her 'attention seeking'. But she hit back tweeting: 'There are some sick twisted people out there have some compassion don't know why people feel the need to be so nasty & have opinions they know nothing about.' Last month, Mr Gascoigne, a former Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United midfielder, insisted he was healthy and wasn't drinking again during a TV appearance on BT Sport. The star then put a recent stint in hospital following an apparent alcohol binge down to 'just to a little blip', and insisted other photos of him shopping in a off-licence earlier this year didn't mean he had resorted to his old habits.

Melamchi, Nepal (CNN)Even from high above, flying in an Indian Air Force helicopter, it is easy to see that the people of Melamchi, central Nepal, are happy to see us. Residents in this remote village, about a 44km drive from Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, stand on the distinctive steeply terraced hillsides and wave furiously as the relief flight passes overhead. The mission, a joint effort between Indian air crew and a Nepalese army medical team, is only the third operation of its kind to reach the village since Saturday's massive 7.8-magnitude quake, which left more than 5,000 people dead. The aircraft is stuffed to capacity with tents, medicines and packages of tinned tuna, instant noodles and rice, all bundled haphazardly aboard the Mi-17 by soldiers at the air base in Kathmandu barely 15 minutes earlier. Local official Upendra Tamang is there to greet the helicopter as it touches down on a field in front of the village medical clinic, and waiting soldiers swing into action to unload the delivery. He says people have been desperately awaiting the supplies. The situation in Melamchi and the surrounding villages is "dire," he tells CNN through a translator. According to Nepal's National Emergency Operation Center, 1,376 people were killed in Sindhupalchok District, where Melamchi is located, when the earthquake hit. Some 18,000 houses were destroyed and 100,000 people have been displaced in the surrounding area, says Tamang. "Everyone is sleeping outside," he says. He has serious concerns about food supplies in the region, saying the piled boxes of rice and noodles aren't nearly enough to meet the needs of local people. "Aid agencies need to do something very quickly," he says. In the days since the quake, injured people from the region have been told to find their way to Melamchi so they can be picked up by the relief flights, he says. They've sent about 500 of the most seriously injured people for treatment in Kathmandu already -- the majority by road -- but many more are stuck in a local clinic waiting for help. Seven of them, five women and two men, are suddenly driven onto the airfield in a truck and on the back of a pickup. Their injuries are not life-threatening, but they look to be in a bad state: bloodied, exhausted and traumatized. An elderly woman's face is covered in bandages that look like they haven't been changed in days. Another cries in pain as she is loaded on to a stretcher from the back of the pickup, then awkwardly hoisted on to the helicopter. Among the injured brought on board the flight is Forshani Tamang, accompanied by her son. He tells CNN their family lives in a village called Bachunde, where nearly all the houses were destroyed. He and other family members carried Forshani for four hours to reach Melamchi. With their home destroyed and their stores of grain lost, the family are in crisis. As the helicopter takes off for the capital, flying over a landscape dotted with collapsed buildings and bright orange tents, Nepalese army doctor Naveen Tiwari offers perhaps the only positive for those on board. The patients' injuries are mostly lacerations of varying degrees, he says. Their vital signs are all stable, and with antibiotics and intravenous drips, they should recover. When the helicopter touches down at Kathmandu airbase, the patients are swiftly unloaded and unceremoniously laid out on the tarmac in the emergency triage area in front of an aircraft hangar, and paramedics scramble to administer IV drips to those in need . As Forshani's son feeds her a cracker softened with water, the relief team turn to prepare for another mission.

A teenager has died after falling off the roof of a six-story Bronx building as he fled police officers who were responding to complaints of a group smoking marijuana and loitering. Hakeem Kuta, 17, was on life support and passed away Saturday morning after succumbing injuries from the fall that happened on Thursday night, said the New York Police Department. Police said Kuta, junior at Bronx Envision Academy, appeared to have misjudged a ledge while backing away from approaching cops. Scroll down for video . Hakeem Kuta (above) plunged six stories from the roof of the Bronx building on Thursday . Police were responding to complaints of a group of teens smoking marijuana and loitering in the lobby when Kuta and the five others ran when police officers arrived (above scenes from where he fell) The 17-year-old jumped over a three-foot high wall (pictured above) before he fell six stories from the building . Officers had chased Kuta and five other teenagers up the stairs after complaints that they were smoking marijuana in the lobby of the building located on Valentine Avenue in Mott Haven, said spokesman Stephen Davis. When the officers got to the roof, some teens jumped to another roof and ran away, however Kuta and his 14-year-old companion, who has not been named, were pinned in by a dividing wall. Police said Kuta then jumped over a three-foot high wall without realizing there was a gap between the buildings. His friend tried to help by desperately holding onto his jacket as Kuta dangled 60 feet from the ground above an alleyway, according to ABC 7. When officers got the roof, some teens jumped and ran away. However, Kuta and his 14-year-old companion were pinned in by a dividing wall . Hakeem was taken to St Barnabas Hospital (above) where he was listed in critical condition. He died around 11am on Saturday . Officer Edmundo Rivera grabbed onto the companion to keep him from falling over the edge, but the friend lost his grip on Kuta who fell from the roof, plunging six stories to the pavement. Police ran to where he fell in the courtyard and Kuta was then taken to St. Barnabas Hospital where he was listed in critical condition. He died around 11am on Saturday. His father Munir Kuta, 42, an immigrant from Ghana said his son stayed out of trouble and does not do drugs, according to the New York Daily News. 'It's not so easy,' he said. 'He was a nice kid.' Authorities said there most likely would not have been any arrests as they only wanted the teens to spot smoking marijuana, according to ABC 7. No summonses were issued, although marijuana was recovered in the lobby. Kuta's father, Munir, an immigrant from Ghana said his son stayed out of trouble.

Winner: Simon Wood took home the TV crown . A single father of four was crowned MasterChef champion last night, fulfilling a dream to become a chef that he has nurtured since he was eight. Simon Wood, 38, battled it out against Emma Spitzer and Tony Rodd as they were challenged to cook judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace a three-course meal in three hours. The final followed seven weeks of tough challenges, including the 'chef's table', which involved cooking one of three courses on a menu set up by Italian chef Massimo Bottura. It brings to an end the eleventh series of the popular BBC weekly amateur cooking contest. Mr Wood, a data manager from Oldham in Greater Manchester, served a starter of octopus with chorizo and cannellini beans followed by a main of squab pigeon served two ways with blackberry sauce, watercress puree and carrots. He finished with a dessert of lemon posset topped with seven garnishes – citrus tutti-frutti, charred grapefruit and orange, a lime tuile, limoncello pistachio crumb, edible flowers, tarragon leaves and a lime air. After he presented the dishes to the judges, Torode said: 'Do you know why I love you? Because you take something quite ordinary and make it special.' Wallace said: 'Simon is brilliant, he's an incredible talent.' After being crowned the winner, Mr Wood said: 'I'm shaking inside, it's so surreal, I can't begin to describe how happy I am. It's life changing.' Finalist Mr Rodd, 33, is an architectural recruitment consultant from London, while Miss Spitzer is the managing director of a luxury travel business and mother to four daughters under nine. Finalists: Simon Wood, 38, right, battled it out against Emma Spitzer, left, and Tony Rodd, centre, as they were challenged to cook judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace a three-course meal in three hours . Mr Wood said: 'I have been cooking since I could reach the top of the oven, and I always cooked at weekends with my grandma. 'When I was eight I won a competition where the prize was to have your dream job for the day and mine was to be a chef. Thirty years later who would have thought I would have the MasterChef trophy in my hands.' Momentous: Kim Woodward is the first woman to be appointed head chef at the Savoy Grill . A former MasterChef semi-finalist has become the first woman to run the prestigious Savoy Grill kitchen in its 126-year history. Kim Woodward has been appointed head chef at the famous venue, which has hosted lunches for the likes of prime ministers, musicians and captains of industry for decades. The 34-year-old follows in the footsteps of a string of maître chefs who have headed the kitchen since its opening in the Strand, London in 1889. Ms Woodward, who lives in Camden, said: ‘It is an absolute honour for me to be the head chef here in one of London’s most iconic restaurants. Obviously there is so much history here, and the people who come through the door come here for the classic dishes that the Grill is famous for.’ At the five-star, art deco Grill, which is now part of the Gordon Ramsay stable, Woodward will head a team of about 35 chefs, of whom some 40 per cent are women. It marks her return to the venue — she was a sous chef between 2010 and 2012, before becoming head chef at the York & Albany gastropub in Camden. She reached the semi-final of the 2011 series of MasterChef: The Professionals.

This dog certainly is his master's best friend after saving him from a cold and muddy grave. The black pooch was filmed in action as he took a rescue rope out to his owner at the Clarence J. Brown Dam and Reservoir in Springfield, Ohio, on Saturday afternoon. Footage shows the unidentified man then being hauled to shore by firefighters after spending almost two hours in waters hovering around zero degrees Celsius. He apparently got stuck waist-deep in mud while recovering some duck hunting gear. Luckily, he had a cell phone on hand to call 911. However, first responders were unable to get a boat out to him because the river was too shallow. They also didn't want to send anyone into the pond in fear that they would get stuck too. That's when they had the idea to send the dog in with a rescue rope. Go fetch: This dog certainly is his master's best friend after saving him from a cold and muddy grave .

He's been at the sharp end of football for the majority of his career but a former Premier League striker seems to have met his match when literally trying his hand at another profession. Preston North End forward Kevin Davies has been through the wars during his 22 years in the beautiful game - being bumped and bruised by many an opposition defence. The 38-year-old isn't adverse to putting the boot in himself though -proven by the fact that he formerly held the record for the most Premier League bookings by a player with 99, alongside Lee Bowyer, before Everton midfielder Gareth Barry took that unwanted stat this season. Preston North End striker Kevin Davies tweeted a picture of his cut right hand after chainsawing on Tuesday . However, Davies' latest injury is self-inflicted as the England international inadvertently hacked away at his right hand while operating a chainsaw. Accompanied with the caption: 'Chainsaw 2 KD 0,' the former Bolton Wanderers captain tweeted on Tuesday a picture of his hand covered in two plasters where the damage had been done. It's the second time in less than two months where Preston's No 9 has injured that part of his body. During Preston's FA Cup fifth round replay 3-1 defeat to Manchester United on February 16, Davies managed to play over an hour after team-mate Joe Garner accidentally crushed his left hand in the opening exchanges of the contest. A day later he tweeted a picture of his injury accompanied with the caption: 'Sore hand today think my partner in crime Joe Garner landed on it!'

Tim Sherwood has branded Aston Villa’s stars ‘icing on the cake players’ — urging them to toughen up before they host Queens Park Rangers on Tuesday night. Villa’s mini-revival has been halted by back-to-back defeats and Sherwood believes his star names must dig deep to avert their relegation crisis. He said: ‘You look through QPR’s side and they’ve got a lot of players who are men with a lot of experience. Tim Sherwood has branded Aston Villa’s stars ‘icing on the cake players’ ahead of their match with QPR . Sherwood believes his star names must dig deep to solve their Premier League relegation crisis . ‘We’ve got a few men — but a lot of pretty much icing on the cake players. I’m trying to get that mentality into them to start digging out results. It’s not what we’re cut out to do.’ Sherwood insists Tuesday night's clash is the most important of his managerial career — and that the same goes for most of his squad. ‘For me, this is the biggest,’ he said. ‘This is huge for them and they have to be able to take it. If they can’t handle it, don’t be at this club and don’t be at the bottom of the league.’ QPR will be without striker Eduardo Vargas on Tuesday evening, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee ligament injury. The 25-year-old Chilean international, on loan from Italian club Napoli, was hurt after scoring the opening goal in Saturday’s 4-1 win at West Bromwich Albion. Vargas will be out for 10 to 12 weeks and will miss his side’s seven remaining matches. QPR will be without striker Eduardo Vargas on Tuesday evening after he was injured previously .

Dogs can sniff out prostate cancer with 98 per cent reliability, a new study has shown. The research, carried out in Milan, backs up tests carried out by the charity Medical Detection Dogs. Its co-founder Dr Claire Guest said the charity's research found a 93 per cent reliability rate when detecting both prostate and bladder cancer. She hailed the new study, describing the findings as 'spectacular'. Dogs have been found to detect prostate cancer with 98 per cent accuracy when sniffing men's urine samples . The latest research, by the Department of Urology at the Humanitas Clinical and Research Centre in Milan, involved two dogs sniffing the urine of 900 men - 360 with prostate cancer and 540 without. Scientists found that dog one got it right in 98.7 per cent of cases, while for dog two this was 97.6 per cent . They said the dogs are able to detect prostate cancer specific volatile organic compounds in the urine but said an important question remains of how a dog would find it in daily practice. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with more than 40,000 new cases diagnosed every year. Dr Guest said: 'These results are spectacular. They offer us further proof that dogs have the ability to detect human cancer. 'It is particularly exciting that we have such a high success rate in the detection of prostate cancer, for which the existing tests are woefully inadequate.' She said there is currently a 'reluctance to embrace this tested, time-old technology' but dogs can pick up a scent in a dilution of one to a thousand parts. There is no single test for prostate cancer, but the most commonly used are blood tests, a physical examination or a biopsy.

Prostate cancer, pictured, is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with more than 40,000 new cases diagnosed every year . 'Over the years, millions of pounds of NHS funding has been poured into the traditional test methods, and yet there has been little improvement in their reliability,' Dr Guest added. 'This has caused a huge waste of resources, not to mention the distress to the impacted individuals. 'Moreover, the detection dogs provide alternative solution that yields consistently accurate results. If our detection dogs were a machine, there would be huge demand for them.' Medical Detection Dogs, which is based in Milton Keynes, trains specialist canines to detect the odour of human disease. They also train Medical Alert Assistance dogs to help people with life-threatening health conditions go about their daily lives. The research is published in the Journal Of Urology.

(CNN)After a weekend shipwreck off the coast of Italy that may have killed hundreds of migrants, the International Organization for Migrants said Monday that there may be three more migrant boats in distress in international waters. Authorities still don't know the fate of many of the passengers, including children, who were on the large ship bound from Libya to Europe that capsized Saturday night in the frigid waters of the Mediterranean Sea. That sinking may be the worst in a series of disasters in which migrants have lost their lives on vessels that are too rickety to survive long voyages. "Gangs of criminals are putting people on a boat, sometimes even at gunpoint," Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said. "They're putting them on the road to death, really, and nothing else." A rescue operation is still underway for people who were on the ship from Libya, and the number of potential victims is not clear. A Bangladeshi survivor told investigators there were 950 people on board. Previous estimates put the number around 700. Maltese authorities, who are working with Italian rescuers, said around 50 people had been saved. But the Italian Coast Guard said 28 people had been rescued and 24 bodies recovered. Two of the survivors were arrested on suspicion of human trafficking upon arriving in Sicily, according to Italian police officer Maria Guia Federico. On Monday, European Union ministers met in Luxembourg and proposed a 10-point plan to help address the crisis. "We are not yet working on numbers, but what we have agreed on today is, for sure, the need to increase significantly the resources at sea, and the level of the operation, doing more search and rescue and doing it more together," Federica Mogherini told CNN's "The World Right Now with Hala Gorani." The EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy said the European Union must fight human traffickers, strengthen Europeans' duty to save lives at sea and share responsibility when it comes to the resettlement and relocation of refugees. "We need to fight the organizations that are trafficking and smuggling people, so that we can prevent desperate people from leaving in desperate conditions," Mogherini said. "My pain is that it was a reaction coming too late after so many people died." Migrants have been attempting the perilous journey across the Mediterranean to southern Europe for years, but authorities have reported a sudden surge in the past 10 days, along with a grim spike in the number of those who are killed en route. Already this year, more than 900 migrants are believed to have died while crossing the Mediterranean, far more than during the same period in 2014, the International Organization for Migration said last week. Since the beginning of 2015, more than 35,000 refugees and migrants have crossed the Mediterranean Sea -- 23,500 have landed in Italy and more than 12,000 in Greece, according to the United Nations High Commission on Human Rights. While those numbers sound high, they were even higher the previous year. In 2014, approximately 219,000 refugees and migrants sailed across the Mediterranean, with most having to be rescued by the Italian Navy, Coast Guard or merchant ships, the UNCHR said. It is estimated that 3,500 people in 2014 died at sea. On Monday, yet another boat sank off the Greek island of Rhodes, killing at least three people, the Greek Merchant Marine Ministry said. Of the 83 people reported on board, at least 57 survived. Those confirmed dead were a man, a woman and a child. The capsizing of the ship that departed from Libya marked the worst such disaster so far. As rescuers approached the boat in response to a distress call Saturday night, authorities say, migrants moved to one side, hoping to be saved. Their movement caused the large, multilevel boat to capsize about 110 kilometers (70 miles) north of Libya, sending many passengers plunging into the sea. According to one Bangladeshi survivor, large numbers of people remained trapped inside the boat as it sank. Smugglers -- human traffickers organizing the voyages -- had locked the doors to the lower levels of the vessel, the survivor told Italian authorities. "Our troops, together with the Italian navy, are literally looking through the bodies to try to find someone who's still alive," Muscat said. While the shipwreck was an accident, Muscat slammed the human traffickers whom he accused of risking people's lives by putting them on rickety ships in unpredictable waters. It's "genocide -- nothing less than genocide, really," Muscat told CNN. "A mass grave is being created in the Mediterranean Sea and European policies are responsible," said Loris De Filippi, the president of the international aid group Doctors Without Borders. He compared the high number of deaths to "figures from a war zone." De Filippi called on European states to immediately launch large-scale search and rescue operations with proactive patrolling as close as possible to Libyan shores. "Faced with thousands of desperate people fleeing wars and crises, Europe has closed borders, forcing people in search of protection to risk their lives and die at sea," he said. "This tragedy is only just beginning, but it can and should be stopped." Save the Children similarly called on European officials to do more. "What we needed from EU foreign ministers today was life-saving action, but they dithered," the group's CEO Justin Forsyth said in a statement. "With each day we delay we lose more innocent lives and Europe slips further into an immoral abyss. Right now, people desperately seeking a better life are drowning in politics." Many of the migrants who board ships to cross the Mediterranean come from sub-Saharan Africa, often traveling for weeks or months just to get to the ships. They're seeking a better life, but many are exploited by the ruthless smugglers who organize the voyages. "There is a well-oiled machine with the human traffickers, first by land and then by sea, and they feel the need for these desperate people who just want to get to Europe at all costs," said Rome-based journalist Barbie Nadeau. The situation on board the boat that sank over the weekend isn't unusual, based on accounts of previous voyages. On old fishing boats, "people are crammed into what used to be the frozen live tank compartments in the bottom of the ship," Nadeau said. "Those are the cheaper tickets. People that want to be out on the upper deck, which is the prime space, pay a little more for that service." Traffickers are believed to charge anywhere from 6,000 euros to 8,000 euros ($6,450 to $8,600) per person for the dangerous voyage, she said. Italy's proximity to the North African coast puts it on the front line of tackling the continent's migration crisis. "We're swamped," Sandro Gozi, the Italian minister for European affairs, told French daily Le Monde. "There's not even enough space in Sicily's cemeteries to bury the dead." An Italian search and rescue program, Mare Nostrum, was credited with rescuing more than 160,000 migrants in the space of a year. But it ended in October because of budget constraints and criticism from the European Union that the program itself was encouraging migrants to head across the Mediterranean. The European Union's border control agency, Frontex, started its own mission in November, known as Triton, with a budget of less than a third of that of Mare Nostrum. Frontex has no vessels or surveillance equipment of its own, so has to rely on European member states to lend it ships. As anti-immigrant parties thrive across the continent, European nations are collectively struggling to cope with the migration crisis on their doorstep. "We can't act as if each tragedy is the last while crossing our fingers that another one doesn't happen," Gozi told Le Monde, lamenting "a total absence" of European Union policy on how to deal with refugees arriving in Europe. The European Commission, the executive branch of the EU, said Sunday it was consulting member states, European agencies and international organizations to prepare what it called a European Migration Strategy to be adopted in mid-May. "These are human lives at stake, and the European Union as a whole has a moral and humanitarian obligation to act," it said. But international groups say European governments are failing to do enough. Doctors Without Borders will begin its own rescue effort, De Filippi said, because "as a medical, humanitarian organization, we simply cannot wait any longer." CNN's Karl Penhaul, Hada Messia, Josh Levs and Catherine E. Shoichet and Khushbu Shah contributed to this report.

Nigel Pearson spent the last quarter of this match pushing his team on from his technical area, clapping, cajoling, instructing. He has experienced a great escape at the Hawthorns before, in 2005 as assistant to Bryan Robson. Beyond 90 minutes, Jamie Vardy scored a goal that gave an exhilarating indication another improbable story could yet be told. Leicester secured their second consecutive Premier League win to bring safety into view for the first time in a long time.

In the first minute of added time he bullied Gareth McAuley to gain possession by the halfway line and advanced on goal. Joleon Lescott was unable to halt him and in a flash the ball was in the net. Pearson turned to his bench and held both arms aloft. He had switched to three at the back at the interval and made all his substitutions with half an hour to go, and been vindicated. Trailing 2-1, Leicester had equalised in the 80th minute when Marc Albrighton delivered a cross that reached David Nugent at the far post. He hooked the ball back, Marcin Wasilewski won the header and Robert Huth nodded beyond Craig Dawson on the line.

West Brom looked resplendent in their replica kits from that year, numbered one to 11. Darren Fletcher paid a fitting tribute with a very good glancing header to Chris Brunt’s corner. Goal-line technology was required to confirm the goal after Esteban Cambiasso cleared. It was Fletcher’s first goal since scoring for Manchester United in November 2012. Leicester equalised in the 20th minute. Cambiasso took a long free-kick that Leonardo Ulloa flicked forward for Nugent to stroke in a composed finish. West Brom went ahead again six minutes later when Craig Gardner’s volley deflected off Wes Morgan into the net. But Leicester struck back impressively and, from nowhere, have genuine hope of survival. ‘You never want to come off the field with regrets,’ said Pearson. ‘If we can maximise that home advantage we have a chance. I don’t think at any point this season [the] players doubted themselves.’ West Brom are not yet safe and face a frightening run-in. ‘The first goal is lower-league stuff,’ said Pulis. ‘The third goal, Gareth’s trying to play like a right winger.

One of the five had a heart-related issue on Saturday and has been discharged but hasn't left the area, Taylor Wilson wrote. The others have already gone home. They were exposed to Ebola in Sierra Leone in March, but none developed the deadly virus. They are clinicians for Partners in Health, a Boston-based aid group. They all had contact with a colleague who was diagnosed with the disease and is being treated at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. As of Monday, that health care worker is in fair condition. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta has said the last of 17 patients who were being monitored are expected to be released by Thursday. More than 10,000 people have died in a West African epidemic of Ebola that dates to December 2013, according to the World Health Organization. Almost all the deaths have been in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Ebola is spread by direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person.

The previous so-called King of Instagram, poker player Dan Bilzerian, has never been far from controversy since his rise to online fame. He was recently forced into making a public safety announcement in order to avoid jail after being arrested for placing homemade explosives inside a tractor before shooting them. The film shows a stony-faced Bilzerian speaking from behind a desk in his lavish home, complete with gun-shaped candle holder, an action figurine of himself, and a bizarre painting, while lecturing people on 'responsible' gun ownership. And at the end of last year he found himself on the end of a lawsuit after model Vanessa Castano claimed he kicked her in the face in a nightclub. Footage from the scene appears to show Bilzerian dancing on a stage in a club in South Beach, Miami, with the crowd below him, before he lashes out with his foot. He was also facing a lawsuit for $85,000 in lost earnings after he threw pornstar Janice Griffith, 19, off the roof of his home and into the pool below. However she landed short, breaking her foot. She had tried to claim money for shoots she could not attend following the accident. Bilzerian fought back, claiming the model grabbed at his t-shirt at the last second, nearly dragging him off the roof with her. The charges were eventually dropped. Bilzerian is reportedly worth $100 million, making the bulk of his cash as a high-stakes gambler after developing his skills as a student at the University of South Florida.

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.

(CNN)One war was enough for Gregory Margolin. Now 87 years old, he was a 16-year-old Jewish recruit when he fought in the Soviet Red Army. As he fought the Nazis in World War II, his family fled. "I did not show that I was Jewish," Margolin says. "But it did not matter because people were being killed left and right. All around me." This year, in Ukraine, he found himself again surrounded by war. Margolin was a sniper who rose to be a commander in the army. His old uniform is still adorned with medals from his time in the military. His granddaughter Liora still marvels at his stories from the war. She is amazed that he managed to survive. Suffering from Alzheimer's disease, a degenerative condition that impairs memory, he struggles to remember his own life sometimes, but he remembers the horrors of war. His eyes slowly shift back and forth as he seeks the right word. Or perhaps the right memory. His hands shake ever so slightly. It seems he knows he has lived a life. He is just trying to remember all the details. "People were hiding in shelters under the ground," Liora says of the stories Margolin once told. "They were being shot at point blank range. It was terrible." "[The Nazis] would have erased us from the Earth," Margolin remembers. "They attacked us and we fought back." After the war, Margolin settled in Donetsk in Eastern Ukraine. His family grew. He built a life. Then, decades later, he found himself in the middle of a war once again. "A missile fell and the house was destroyed. We were attacked," Margolin says. "A missile fell. I remember." Margolin's family lived in a neighborhood next to the Donetsk airport, near some of the most intense fighting in Eastern Ukraine as pro-Russian separatists battled the Ukrainian army. Margolin, who had survived one war, was able to survive another, even as the stray missile hit his house on February 10. It spared him, but it killed his daughter Ira. "The moment it happened, we decided that's it. Here and now, we're moving to Israel," says Liora. "This is the safest place." Margolin arrived in Israel on March 24. Asked why the family waited to leave the war-torn region of Eastern Ukraine, Liora says they felt they would be fine in Donetsk, while Liora prayed for their safety from Israel. "No matter how much we're afraid of the next war here and as much as it's not quiet here, it is the quietest place." Margolin came over in a wave of Ukrainian Jewish immigration to Israel that coincided with the beginning of hostilities in Eastern Ukraine. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, an organization that works to build interfaith understanding and support for Israel, has brought 600 Jews to Israel since December, Margolin among them. Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein, the fellowship's founder, says, "We set up a refugee center. It's the first time since the Holocaust that the Jewish world has had to set up a refugee center for these Jews who are fleeing and have nowhere to go." Among the Ukrainian Jews moving to Israel, Eckstein says they have worked with approximately a dozen Holocaust survivors. On Yom HaShoah, Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day that commemorates the Nazi extermination of 6 million Jews, these stories of survival reverberate with a renewed energy. Jews who struggled to survive once find themselves fleeing to survive now. "Most of the [Jewish] people in the Ukraine are Holocaust survivors or children of Holocaust survivors. These are the people who made it, who are able to flee or come back or to stay or to somehow survive the Holocaust." Margolin was one of these people, able to survive the Holocaust as a soldier in the Soviet Army. His story can be difficult for him to remember sometimes, but it is impossible for his family to forget. The voices of Auschwitz .

A New York detective has been suspended after being accused of robbing a store while colleagues were arresting workers for selling illegal cigarettes. The manager of the deli in Brooklyn said Detective Ian Cyrus, who has been suspended without pay, was caught on camera stealing cash. His supervisor has been placed on desk duty. Scroll down for video . Caught on camera: On viewing the CCTV security cameras, the store manager said he saw one of the detectives finding the rent money box under the counter, and Detective Ian Cyrus grabbing a handful of it . Mr Abdullah said Detective Ian Cyrus then bends down and when he stands up, he appears to put the money in his coat pocket . Five New York Police Department (NYPD) detectives went to the Brooklyn store on Friday April 3 and arrested two employees accused of selling untaxed cigarettes, according to ABC7 Eyewitness News. Officers reportedly took money from the cash register and packs of cigarettes as evidence. Manager Ali Abdullah, who was not in the shop at the time, was given a receipt from the police the following day saying $593 had been seized, but he realised $2,650 in store rent money was missing. On viewing the CCTV security cameras, he said Detective Cyrus grabbed a handful of cash from the rent money box under the counter. Mr Abdullah said the detective then bends down and when he stands up, he appears to put the money in his coat pocket. 'I look at my system, I see the officer took the money,' Mr Abdullah told the news channel. 'It's crazy.' He said he called a nearby police department, who sent a supervisor to look at the video. Mr Abdullah claims the supervisor said: 'He's going to lose his pension, lose his life, for $2,600?' NYPD Deputy Commissioner Stephen Davis told MailOnline: 'Based on the nature of the allegations in this incident, in addition to the video provided to us, the NYPD has placed one detective on suspension and one supervisor on modified assignment status pending further investigation into the matter. 'Detective Ian Cyrus 49, assigned to Brooklyn North Narcotics has been suspended. Sergeant Fritz Glemaud 44, assigned to Brooklyn North Narcotics has been placed on modified assignment.'

Hillary Clinton ended her whirlwind New Hampshire campaign swing on Tuesday afternoon in another state entirely, taking taxpayers for an 80 miles-per-hour ride all the way to Boston – to catch a flight with first class seats. Her Secret Service-provided 'Scooby' van motored from Concord to Boston Logan International Airport, escorted by troopers from both New Hampshire and Massachusetts. She arrived in time to take a 7:00 p.m. US Airways shuttle to Washington, D.C. On the way, her motorcade passed exits to the Manchester, N.H. airport, which was 55 miles closer and offered a 5:16 p.m. flight to the same destination. The Boston flight, though, used a larger aircraft with 12 first class seats. The Manchester flight was scheduled to use a smaller plane with nothing but coach. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS . First class: Hillary (seated at the front, right) traveled in luxury from Boston to Washington, seated next to chief of staff Huma Abedin, after a high-speed dash to Logan International Airport . Clinton and her entourage flew on a commercial US Airways Shuttle flight on Tuesday, and the Secret Service took care of the cars at curbside. 'Scooby' is seen next to the Terminal B sign with its side door open . ARRIVAL: Hillary was flanked by her security after she landed at Washington Reagan National Airport near DC, insisting that she hadn't booked the first class tickets herself – but staring ahead wordlessly when asked about the deadly Benghazi terror attack . NEW HAMPSHIRE? No, it's Massachusetts: Mrs. Clinton's motorcade, including her custom conversion van (center, in the distance), arrived just before 4:15 p.m. at Boston Logan International Airport . SLICK: Just a day earlier, Clinton's motorcade zipped along wet New Hampshire roads at 92 mph so she could make a dinner party on time . Clinton told Daily Mail Online when she reached Washington and was asked why her security detail drove the extra miles at taxpayer expense: 'You know, I don't make the travel arrangements. I don't.' She went silent, however, when asked if she would be ready soon to address public concerns about her performance as secretary of state before and after the 2012 terror attack that claimed four lives in Benghazi, Libya. Asked if she had made mistakes in the legacy-tarnishing episode, Clinton stared straight ahead, continued walking alongside her Secret Service escort, and said nothing. In New Hampshire, she had spent much of her time railing against America's richest '1 per cent,' but ultimately took the priciest seat to Washington that she could buy without chartering a private plane. During her trip she said of the wealthy: 'The deck is stacked in their favor. My job is to reshuffle the cards.' According to The New York Times, she spoke to a group of economists earlier this year about 'toppling' the country's financial elites if she were elected president. KISS THE RING: Hillary Clinton met Tuesday with Mary Louise Hancock, the grand dame of New Hampshire liberal politics and a woman who wields enormous grassroots organizing power in the Granite State . After a carefully stage-managed morning event at a community college near the state capitol, Clinton held two private meetings, and then bolted to Boston at speeds 25 mph over the limit posted along portions of Interstate 93. At least the roads were dry. Less than 24 hours earlier, her Secret Service drivers led reporters on a 92-mph race through New Hampshire on a rain-slicked freeway so Mrs. Clinton could arrive at a dinner event by 7:00 p.m. The Airbus 319 series aircraft took Clinton and her closest aide Huma Abedin back to Washington in comfort. The two women had the very front seats on the flight. A Massachusetts state trooper and a Secret Service agent greeted passengers on the jetway, providing the first hint that there was a VIP on board. Clinton's choice to fly out of Boston instead of Manchester could anger southern New Hampshire voters who tire of being told they are little more than a Boston exurb. There is no meaningful Massachusetts presidential primary election. SCOOBY! Clinton's ubiquitous van left Hancock's home Tuesday afternoon en route to the New Hampshire Democratic Party headquarters . FAREWELL: Hillary Clinton waves at the end of her final campaign stop in New Hampshire, before hitting the road to Boston at speeds of up to 80mph . LAST STOP: Clinton's hopeful New Hampshire trip ended not with a nod to everyday Americans, but with a bow to Democratic Party insiders at the NHDP headquarters . Clinton's first afternoon meeting came at the home of Mary Louise Hancock, the 95-year-old grand dame of New Hampshire Democratic politics. The significance of the get-together is real: Democrats seeking any major office in the Granite State have sought her counsel and kissed her ring for decades. Her second meeting was an hours-long affair at the New Hampshire Democratic Party headquarters, which hosted her while a crowd of reporters and photographers waited in vain for her to answer questions. While still more journalists lay in wait under the shadow of the state Capitol dome, Clinton's entourage went the other way, southward, boxing out motorists who tried to share their chosen slice of the road. It's not clear who drove Scooby and its two companion SUVs away from the Boston airport. All three vehicles were still curbside 45 minutes after Clinton arrived. IN CONCORD: Hillary Clinton smiled after a roundtable conversation with students and faculty of New Hampshire Technical Institute, the community college local to Concord, New Hampshire .

Speedometer-busting race to Boston Logan International Airport hit 80 in a 55 MPH zone . Clinton and her entourage took US Airways Shuttle flight 2120 to Washington Reagan International Airport near DC – and sat in first class . First class seating came after campaign trip where she said of rich: 'The deck is stacked in their favor. My job is to reshuffle the pack.' The Manchester, NH airport would have been 55 miles closer and had a flight two hours earlier – but it was on smaller plane with only coach seats . Clinton insisted she didn't personally book the tickets, but stared ahead and said nothing when asked about the Benghazi terror attacks . NASCAR-like trip down I-93 came less than 24 hours after Clinton's Secret Service detail raced down rain-slicked New Hampshire freeways at 92 mph .

(CNN)What do Walmart, Target, and now the Koch Brothers have in common with the American Civil Liberties Union, ColorOfChange.org, and the Center for American Progress? All of them are adopting or advocating for hiring practices that open up work opportunities for people with convictions and leverage untapped potential in the labor market. Koch Industries' recent announcement that it will "ban the box" -- i.e., remove from its job applications the check-box that asks about convictions -- is a big step forward in the movement to break down barriers to employment for job-seekers with records. "Ban the box" doesn't prohibit background checks, it only postpones them until later in the hiring process. It's one item on a menu of fair-chance hiring reforms intended to ensure that job applicants are evaluated on their skills and qualifications first, rather than judged solely on past mistakes. These policies help reduce recidivism by making employment accessible to job-seekers who need a second chance, and they help break down the stigma of an arrest or conviction record. Two generations of the war on drugs, zero tolerance, and aggressive policing have left 70 million adults with arrest or conviction records that undermine their ability to be considered for jobs, even as the job market has grown steadily. Millions of people are being left behind, and it's taking a toll on our economy: The reduced economic output of people with records cost our economy $57-$65 billion in 2008 alone. These criminal justice policies disproportionately impact African-Americans, who are incarcerated at a rate six times that of whites. The Department of Justice's recent investigation of the Ferguson Police Department, for example, shows the extent to which racism is perpetuated through police departments and the court system. That systemic racial disparity is then repeated throughout the economy, and the community is put at a severe disadvantage in the job market long after individuals have served their time. That's one reason the African-American unemployment rate is persistently twice that of whites. In a job market where employers that didn't previously do background checks now make them a routine part of hiring, qualified job-seekers are being screened out of the applicant pools for more and more jobs. Nearly one in three adults in America has an arrest or conviction history that will show up on a routine background check. Companies like Koch, Walmart, Target, and Bed Bath & Beyond recognize that this is a huge source of untapped talent, and that's why they've already banned the box on their job applications. These policies are also gaining traction with politicians across the political spectrum. Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal, and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe recently signed executive orders removing the conviction question from initial applications for state employment. So far, 16 states and more than 100 cities and counties have adopted fair-chance hiring policies. Six of those states and the District of Columbia, plus 25 cities and counties, have applied their policies to government contractors or private employers as well. The Obama administration took an important step toward fairer and smarter federal hiring practices last year when it issued an executive order prohibiting contractors from discriminating against LGBT individuals. Banning the box and other common-sense hiring reforms would build on that progress and on the successful work of governors and the corporate sector. The administration should ensure that the federal government does not continue to erect unfair and unnecessary barriers to employment of people with records. Already, more than 200 organizations and prominent individuals have publicly urged the Obama administration to take these practical steps. If Koch Industries -- a major federal contractor -- can ban the box, there's no reason why other federal contractors cannot. Now it's time for President Obama to lead the way and embrace fair-chance hiring of people with records.

The surrender of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee to Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant 150 years ago on Thursday was a milestone event in the end of the Civil War. Thursday's commemoration in Appomattox, Virginia, included a reenactment of Lee's last clash with Grant's troops and of the Confederate surrender in a Virginia farmhouse on April 9, 1865. Ahead of the battle reenactment, the boys of the Confederate 11th Virginia were a seemingly pretty cool bunch as those portraying Union troops gathered several fields away at Appomattox Court House amid the rolling farm country dotted by neat brick buildings and white picket fences. In April 1865, however, the troops weren't as calm. Lee's forces were in a state of growing disarray in the hours before Lee formally called it quits. Scroll down for video .

American Civil War re-enactors dressed as Union cavalry drill early in the morning at the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park . Ragged, hungry Southern soldiers, many straggling and on the run from federal forces, began giving up alone and in small bunches even before the official surrender. Days earlier that month, the Union Army had already smashed their way into the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. Lee's forces, seeking an escape route, had crossed the Appomattox River while burning bridges. Union forces 'attacked them vigorously' in the hours before the official surrender, convincing Lee the fight was over. The last days accounts were cited as saying 'the road for miles was strewn with broken down wagons, caissons, and baggage of all kinds, presenting a scene seldom witnessed on the part of Lee's army.' But in 2015, a stoic Chris Ferree couldn't contain his excitement when asked about his role in the 150th commemoration of Lee's surrender here, effectively ending the Civil War 150 years ago on Thursday. 'This is an awesome place to be,' said Ferree, a Roanoke resident. 'We're all excited to be here.' The Confederate re-enactors were a ragtag, mismatched group of heavy wool coats, ill-fitting trousers and more types of hats than a haberdashery. Dozens stood along a rough wooden fence, their muskets stacked at the ready. American Civil War re-enactors portraying Confederate artillery fire several of their cannons during the re-enactment .

The smell of wood smoke greeted the first of thousands of visitors expected to throng the park for several days of commemorative events. The outline of Union troops in formation could be seen in fields as visitors approached the park. Perry Miller of Salisbury, a re-enactor with the North Carolina 28th from Salisbury, explained the strategy succinctly: 'We're trying to break through the Union lines.' Thomas Holbrook, a park ranger on loan from Gettysburg to Appomattox, went down the line of re-enactors for a quick briefing before battle. 'This is part of what I like to call the armistice that was signed on April 9, when Gen. Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia,' he said. In a place where historically accurate fashions abound, the Rufeners of Ohio stood out. Cousins by marriage, Kim and Mary Rufener carefully stepped through soaked turf and muddy roads at Appomattox to keep their hoop skirts mud-free. The two also wore bonnets as they watched Union and Confederate reenactors clash.

Amid the hundreds if not thousands lined along a fence watching a battle re-enactment, the two women drew attention as they posed for photographs. 'It just enhances the experience for us,' Kim Rufener said amid the startling booms of cannon fire and the crackle of muzzle fire. 'It makes it more alive. 'It's an important part of history that we need to remember.' 'We're just having fun,' Mary added. Asked if the reproduction outfit had hampered her travels, Mary said, 'Well, it is muddy.' She modestly lifted the hem of her hoop skirt, revealing laced black boots that were slightly muddied. Mary's husband Mark joined the two wearing a formal waist jacket and coachman's hat. He finished off the look with a cravat. The Rufeners have been to other Civil War commemorative events, but Appomattox was the first in period costumes. 'This is a big deal,' Mary Rufener said, adding 'We won't be around for the 200th.'

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 .

A three-year-old boy has been accused of killing his mother by pushing her down a lift shaft in China by one of their neighbours. Xie Hong Feng was found dead after falling five floors down an empty elevator shaft in her apartment block in Ningbo City in China. Her neighbour and property manager Yang Shao told police the 45-year-old had been pushed by her toddler son, The People’s Daily Online reported. Xie Hong Feng, pictured, died after falling down five floors through a lift shaft. Her three-year-old son has been accused of pushing her by the property's manager - but there is no CCTV evidence of the accident . CCTV image inside the lift shows Ms Xie with her three-year-old son. She dropped her keys in the gap between the elevator and the fourth floor, and went to the property manager for help retrieving them . The drama started when Ms Xie, in her mid-forties, went to Yang with her child for help after she dropped her key down the gap between the lift and the fourth floor, where she lived. All three got the lift to the fifth floor, and Yang, 52, pressed the button for the sixth floor. According to police statements, Yang said she used the triangular lock necessary to open the lift doors and told Ms Xie to be careful as she looked for her keys because it was very dark. When Ms Xie did not reply, Yang asked her son ‘Where is your mother?’ He answered ‘Pushed down!’, and Yang called the police. There is no CCTV outside the elevator, and police say Yang’s statement is the only evidence. Ms Xie’s husband was on a business trip when the tragic accident occurred, and one of Ms Xie’s male relatives said they are not convinced that the child pushed his mother into the shaft. Property manager Yang said Ms Xie's three-year-old son pushed her down lift shaft to her death. Investigators have brought into question why she had the authority to open the lift doors and whether she acted properly . A lift maintenance engineer claimed that property manager Yang acted illegally by opening the lift doors manually. The relatives of victim Ms Xie said they are not convinced her son pushed and killed his mother . Yang told reporters outside her home: ‘She [Ms Xie] told me that she dropped her keys in the gap. I said I will help her get it. ‘The lift doors open when we were on the fifth floor and then the child pushed his mother down to the shaft.’ The administration of work safety of Ningbo City was called in to help police investigate the cause of the accident, and they have already ruled out a malfunction of the lift. Officers are questioning why, if Ms Xie dropped her keys on the fourth floor, the group travelled to the fifth floor. Questions have also been raised over whether property staff have the authority to open the lift doors, and officers are looking at whether Yang was properly qualified to handle the lifts. Chen Zhewei, the Ningbo City Yinzhou property manager, told reporters from The People’s Daily Online that because of a lack of lift maintenance companies 10 years ago, some residential areas decided to train their staff on the use of elevators so they could deal with emergency situations. Nowadays the majority of lift maintenance and safety is outsourced to specialist companies. The fact that Yang opened the lift doors with a triangular lock is illegal, a lift maintenance engineer added, and there are very strict procedures that should be adhered to when manually opening a lift doors. These include turning off the electricity supply to the lift and keeping the triangular lock in a secure place.

Robin van Persie has declared himself fit for Sunday's Manchester derby. Van Persie has missed Manchester United's last six games following an ankle injury he suffered in the 2-1 defeat at Swansea on February 21. Manager Louis van Gaal said last week he did not expect the striker to be fit enough to return for Sunday's game against Manchester City at Old Trafford, but Van Persie reported good news for United fans on Wednesday. Robin van Persie has declared himself fit for the Manchester derby after missing United's last six games . Louis van Gaal will be pleased to have Van Persie back but he is unlikely to start the game . The 31-year-old tweeted: 'Back to training with the group today. Was a great session. Happy to be fit and able to play again. Looking forward to my next game!' Even if Van Gaal considers Van Persie to be fit to take part in the derby, it is hard to see how the former Arsenal front man would fit into the starting XI. United have hardly missed the Dutchman, who has scored just 10 goals this term. During his absence, the Red Devils have only lost once - against his former employers Arsenal in the FA Cup. United have recorded creditable victories over Tottenham and Liverpool and last Saturday they moved above City into third with a 3-1 win over Aston Villa. Wayne Rooney scored a stunning volley during the win. The United skipper has performed well up front in a 4-3-3 formation alongside Ashley Young and Juan Mata, who scored both goals in the 2-1 win at Anfield two-and-a-half weeks ago. Marouane Fellaini has also provided able and robust support from midfield. Wayne Rooney celebrates with Radamel Falcao after scoring against Aston Villa at the weekend . Victory for United this weekend would pile more misery on out-of-form City and improve Van Gaal's chances of achieving his target of Champions League qualification. Once he returns from his summer break, he is likely to take United on a shortened pre-season tour, with the most likely destination the United States, it has emerged. Van Gaal made no secret of his annoyance at United's pre-season schedule last summer. United had already committed themselves to a three-week long tour that took in five matches across five American cities by the time Van Gaal took over as manager. United travelled almost 13,500 miles on the trip, which included games in Los Angeles, Denver, Detroit, Washington DC and Miami - all against high-profile opposition. This summer's tour is expected to see United take on fewer opponents and undertake less travel. The trip will have to be over a shorter period of time too as the Premier League season begins on August 8 - just eight weeks after the end of the international break. It is understood that Van Gaal will sign off plans for the tour in the coming weeks.

Manchester United have Robin van Persie back fit for Sunday . The Holland striker has been missing since February 21 . It is unlikely that Van Persie will make United's starting XI against City .

A lobster restaurant in Canada has issued a detailed and sincere apology after it was attacked by online commenters for a ban on 'small screaming children'. Lobster Pound and Moore, in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, had posted 'effective as of now, we will no longer allow small screaming children', saying that it 'caters to those who enjoy food and are out to enjoy themselves'. The message, posted last Sunday night, was deleted by Monday morning after a torrent of online abuse came from disgruntled parents. Scroll down for video . Lobster Pound and Moore in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, kicked off a Internet debate when it announced that it would no longer allow 'small screaming children' into its dining room . The Canadian seafood restaurant had said that it was 'an adult themed restaurant that caters to those who enjoy food and are out to enjoy themselves' Commenters began giving the restaurant's Facebook page one-star reviews and said that they would never again set foot in his restaurant. 'Wouldn't grace their doors if they paid me. Their lack of compassion to even post in a professional manner leaves such a bad taste who would bother to try the food!' Sarah Valley said on a poor review. Others said that some adults were far more annoying at restaurants than children and said they took particular offense because children can have tantrums due to special needs conditions such as autism. The restaurant later posted an apology on the page, saying that the 'hate and threats' the owner had received had prompted him to reconsider his policy. It said that it chose the 'wrong words' for its post and that it 'will take any belly that is hungry'. Abuse targeting his restaurant, as well as 'hate and threats' aimed at his family, prompted chef and owner Richard Moore to reverse his policy and make a detailed apology on Facebook . Moore said that he always tries his best to provide for his customers but made an unfortunate choice of words when he called his youngest patrons 'small screaming children' instead of 'Lil diners having a moment' The restaurateur said that he sympathized with parents whose children have tantrums because of special needs conditions such as autism, saying he understands it 'first hand' 'I love kids and would have them if I could. I shouldnt have used the word screaming but should have said something like 'Lil diners having a moment',  the owner Richard Moore said. He continued that he tries to accommodate everyone's dietary needs and 'understands first hand conditions such as autism'. 'I never considered the hate and threats it would bring against not only me but those I love and for that I'm truly sorry . 'I know some may find this silly but I love Cape Breton and moved home to give back. I've disappointed you and myself. 'I will do better even if you don't give me the chance. I was trying to be different and the 'go to ' happening place.' After the owner's heartfelt apology, other Nova Scotia residents and Facebook users voiced support for the no screaming child policy, which is no longer in effect. Some parents took offense at the idea of their children not being allowed to eat at a restaurant because of bad behavior. Others said they would enjoy the peace and quiet of an adult-oriented atmosphere (file photo) The seaside establishment experienced a flurry of reviews both positive and negative after its previous policy got media attention from those for and against small children at restaurants . 'You may have lost some people...but there are plenty who will greatly appreciate such a policy....We just don't whine... (I mean, really, where do you think the kids learned?)', commenter Lori-Jo Carroll posted under the apology. Others said they would appreciate such as policy as a means to get a peaceful, relaxing dinner. 'As a mother of 3 screaming children I support you!!! We never take our children out to restaurants unless it is geared specifically to children and families for that reason. And when my husband and I get out together for a date I don't particularly want to hear kids screaming and parents yelling,' Gina Ledwich said. The restaurant's Facebook page had gathered hundreds of reviews as Sunday afternoon, with more than 100 one-star and nearly 400 five-star.

Mogadishu, Somalia (CNN)A car bomb exploded at a restaurant near the presidential palace in the heart of Somalia's capital Tuesday, killing at least 10 people, including a woman and a boy, police said. Somalia-based Islamist militant group Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack. Group spokesman Sheikh Abdiaziz Musab, speaking to pro-Al-Shabaab outlet Andalus radio, said the blast targeted and killed several Somali intelligence agents. Somali police spokesman Qasim Mohamed Roble told reporters that the car bomb killed no government official or soldier. Among the dead, he said, was a boy who shined shoes. The area is not a new target for Al-Shabaab, which has battled Somalia's government for years with the goal of establishing a fundamentalist Islamic state. The restaurant is across the street from the Central Hotel, where Al-Shabaab killed at least 15 people in a bombing and gun attack in February. The streets outside the restaurant were "littered with debris and human body parts" after Tuesday's explosion, witness Mohamed Ali said. The blast damaged nearby buildings and vehicles at a parking lot, according to Ali. Ambulances took wounded people to a nearby hospital for treatment. Tuesday's bombing is at least the third high-profile attack near or at a Mogadishu hotel since February. On February 20, militants attacked the Central Hotel, blowing up a car bomb outside before shooting people and detonating another bomb inside. Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack. More than a month later, on March 27, gunmen detonated explosives and shot people at a different Mogadishu hotel -- the Makka Al Mukarama -- leaving at least 20 people dead. The attack stretched into the next day before security personnel killed all the assailants. Al-Shabaab also said it was responsible for the Makka Al Mukarama attack, claiming it targeted the hotel because its guests were spies and government officials. Among those killed in the March 27 assault was Yusuf Mohamed Ismail Bari-Bari, Somalia's permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, the Somali government said. Journalist Omar Nor reported from Mogadishu. CNN's Jason Hanna wrote in Atlanta.

(CNN)A SkyWest Airlines flight made an emergency landing in Buffalo, New York, on Wednesday after a passenger lost consciousness, officials said. The passenger received medical attention before being released, according to Marissa Snow, spokeswoman for SkyWest. She said the airliner expects to accommodate the 75 passengers on another aircraft to their original destination -- Hartford, Connecticut -- later Wednesday afternoon. The Federal Aviation Administration initially reported a pressurization problem and said it would investigate. Snow said there was no indication of any pressurization issues, and the FAA later issued a statement that did not reference a pressurization problem. SkyWest also said there was no problem with the plane's door, which some media initially reported. Flight 5622 was originally scheduled to fly from Chicago to Hartford. The plane descended 28,000 feet in three minutes. "It would feel like a roller coaster -- when you're coming over the top and you're going down," CNN aviation analyst Mary Schiavo said, describing how such a descent would feel. "You know that these pilots knew they were in a very grave and very serious situation."

The Muslim couple who were abused by a middle-aged woman on a Sydney train are 'hardworking, honest and kind' parents of a little baby boy who moved from Pakistan several years ago seeking a better life in Australia. As NSW police sources told Daily Mail Australia a formal investigation is 'definitely' under way into Wednesday's incident, friends of Hafeez Batthi, 33, and his wife, Khalida, 26 painted a picture of the Islamic couple as 'committed' members of the community in Brisbane. The family regularly attend the Holland Park mosque, community spokesman Ali Kadri said, and they are raising a newborn baby son, Mohammad, in the country which they are grateful to call home. The couple were in Sydney for just a day when they were abused by an unknown woman on an Airport Line train on Wednesday afternoon. Stacey Eden, 23, overheard the ranter insulting the Muslim couple as 'ISIS terrorists' and was recorded on video standing up for the couple. Scroll down for video . Abused on the train: Young parents Hafeez Batthi, 33, and his wife, Khalida, 26, have been described as 'hardworking, honest and kind' by members of the local Islamic community . Not going to take it anymore: Stacey Eden (pictured) made a bold stand in defence of a Muslim couple who faced a racially-charged tirade on a Sydney train on Wednesday afternoon . 'Stacey thanks again for your support for us on that day...I generally believe that you and many other Australian do respect all religions,' Mr Bhatti posted . Now, in an extraordinary act of gratitude, the Brisbane couple's mosque in Holland Park has offered Ms Eden and her partner an all-expenses-paid trip to visit the Gold Coast for a night and to see their mosque. Ms Eden, a blood collector for a pathology company who was born and bred in Sydney's eastern suburbs, said she was planning to consider the 'lovely' offer after the overwhelming wave of international media attention passes. Mr Bhatti told Daily Mail Australia he was shocked by the ugly incident, which occurred on the Airport Line train around 1:40pm on Wednesday. 'She asked my wife why she was wearing a scarf when it was hot outside - when my wife answered her I thought the woman was asking to be friendly,' Mr Bhatti said. 'Then she started saying Muslims like us are trying to conquer Australia and behead everyone here. We were absolutely shocked. 'It was just very disappointing.' Mr Bhatti said another woman nearby supported the racist woman, and the incident caused his family to miss its flight home. 'She said all Muslims should be kicked out of Australia - I tried to calm things down by telling her we love everyone,' Mr Bhatti said. He also said his wife was 'very shaken up' after the incident, to the extent she questioned if it was worth staying in Australia. Hafeez Bhatti, who was racially abused along with his wife on a Sydney train, thanked the woman who stood up for them . Police are urging anyone who witnessed the attack, which was caught on camera, to come forward . 'Stacey thanks again for your support for us on that day...I generally believe that you and many other Australian do respect all religions,' Mr Bhatti said on his Facebook account . 'This sort of thing has happened before, but you try to ignore it and the ignorant people behind it; there are lots of very good people in Australian and only a few bad ones,' he said. 'God bless Stacey Eden who supported us.' Mr Bhatti reached out to Ms Eden on his Facebook page after the story emerged. 'Stacey thanks again for your support for us on that day...I generally believe that you and many other Australian do respect all religions,' Mr Bhatti posted. Ms Eden was scheduled to meet police on Friday afternoon and detectives were attempting to contact Mr and Mrs Bhatti. On Wednesday afternoon, Mr Bhatti vented his frustrations with the attack, when he posted: 'once again, victim of racism by an old Christian lady.' He also discussed the events and said it started after the woman touched his wife's head like she was blessing her, before 'she started her ignorant comments'. Rant: Video shows this woman launching into a fiery spray about Islam, bringing up beheadings and the marriage of children while berating a Muslim woman for wearing a black headscarf . Ms Eden, who recorded a snippet of the conversation, fired back at the woman in defence of the Muslim couple (above): 'Have some respect... What's that got to do with this poor lady?' In her recording of the incident, Ms Eden is heard fuming:  'She wears it (her hijab) for herself, OK!' 'She wears it because she wants to be modest with her body, not because of people like you who are going to sit there and disrespect her.' Ms Eden said she became really upset after the woman allegedly branded 'all Muslims ISIS supporters' and insulted the woman's husband and headscarf. Ms Eden was not having a bar of it. 'That is not her doing it. That is a minority of people. Not a majority of people OK? 'It doesn't matter what they're doing... Have some respect, have some respect,' she said, as the woman continued on her tirade. 'It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. What's that got to do with this poor lady? What's that got to do with her?' 'She was saying some pretty horrible and hurtful things before I spoke up then as soon I started defending them she stopped' The Muslim couple told Stacey Eden (left, right) that they were 'very grateful' for her stand . 'Nothing,' the ranter replied. 'Exactly!' Ms Eden fired back. 'You're the one who started the argument!' the woman said. Ms Eden then instructed the woman to be silent. 'No, you're the one sitting there saying things under your breath, shut your mouth, simple. 'You shut your mouth,' the woman replied. 'No, you shut your mouth. You've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything, simple.' Ms Eden recorded a short snippet of the incident - not the whole alleged tirade - on her phone, ending with the passenger telling her to 'breathe'. She told Daily Mail Australia the Muslim couple and the angry woman alighted the train at Sydney International Airport. Ms Eden told Daily Mail Australia the couple alighted the train at Sydney International Airport . 'I missed my stop because I wanted to stay on and make sure they were OK,' said Ms Eden, who was on her way home to Mascot . 'I missed my stop because I wanted to stay on and make sure they were OK,' said Ms Eden, who was on her way home to Mascot. Ms Eden said the woman was saying 'horrible and hurtful things'. 'She told me if I was in their country I would have been stoned to death because I was wearing a dress. 'I missed my stop because I wanted to stay on and make sure they were OK,' said Ms Eden, who was on her way home to Mascot . 'She was saying a lot of things I just got to the point where I had heard enough.' The Muslim couple were 'very grateful' for her stand, she said. Police and Sydney Trains have not yet received any reports of the incident. The Islamophobia Register Australia group issued a statement praising Ms Eden's actions shortly after Daily Mail Australia's report. 'We are heartened by Stacey's actions - she is a reflection of 'Team Humanity' and we hope that her actions inspire others to stand up against racial or religious vilification,' it said. The group said they were disappointed by the remarks of the woman in the video. 'The sentiments expressed by the woman however sadly form part of the broader false and deeply damaging narrative whereby the criminal actions of groups like Daesh [Islamic State] are extrapolated to all 1.5+ billion Muslims'. The group's founder, Mariam Veiszadeh, told Daily Mail Australia incidents of abuse against Muslim women were becoming increasingly common. ''I'm very conscious of ensuring that I have sufficient storage space on my phone to ensure I will be able to record incidents should I either be the victim in an incident (or a witness),' she said. A hijab-wearing woman told the ABC last month she was subject to a physical and verbal assault on a Sydney train, with a man allegedly shoulder-charging her and hitting her with his bag and leg. Mariam Veiszadeh (pictured), a lawyer and public advocate for the rights of Muslims, says incidents such as these are increasingly common . 'I'm very conscious of ensuring that I have sufficient storage space on my phone to ensure I will be able to record incidents should I either be the victim in an incident (or a witness)' Mariam has been the target of racist attacks herself . 'It was a fully crowded train but nobody said anything. People were just listening. I know they were scared,' Hina said. As for Ms Eden, she told Daily Mail Australia she was already overwhelmed by positive comments she had received online, having posted the video just yesterday. 'Good on you for sticking up for whats right more people should be doing the same,' wrote punter Rachel Lambert. 'Well I don't know you but thank you, thank you for understanding,' said Shahiq Sarkar. Overwhelming response: Ms Eden has been bombarded with positive comments since the video appeared online . 'I hope some day when you need help and are boxed in a corner someone as bright as you is there to support you just like you did for those poor souls. 'We really need to look for the best in people and understand that its a few rotten apples who try to spoil the lot. 'All the best wishes for you.' One comment even asked: 'RU single? Lol'.

Comments: Veteran broadcaster Peter Alliss has sparked controversy by claiming gender equality laws have backfired and ‘b*****ed up the game’ Veteran broadcaster Peter Alliss has sparked controversy by claiming gender equality laws have backfired and ‘b*****ed up the game’. Alliss, 84, has said that legislation designed to stop golf clubs from discriminating against female members has instead prompted a decline in women’s membership. Some clubs had previously only allowed female members if they played at restricted times in return for a discounted membership fee. But the Equality Act 2010, drafted by the previous Labour government, ruled that this was illegal discrimination, which means that women must now have equal access to the course – and pay the same membership rates as men. Mr Alliss, a former professional who is one of the game’s most decorated players, claimed that tens of thousands of members of the Ladies’ Golf Union have deserted the organisation since the rules came into force. ‘I’m told the Ladies’ Golf Union has lost 150,000 members since equality for women came in,’ Mr Alliss told the Radio Times. ‘Hundreds of women have left golf clubs because they’ve gone from paying half fare to full fare. It’s caused mayhem.’ He added: ‘Equality for women: A few people battled away to get it, they got it, and they have buggered up the game for a lot of people.’ But Sam Burton, finance director at the Ladies’ Golf Union, said there has only been a decline of 30,000 women since the law came into force, taking membership down to 159,000 by last year. Mrs Burton said: ‘It’s not good that ladies golf is declining and we have to look at it, but I don’t think it’s the equalities legislation that is to blame. Golf has been dominated by men and we are always going to be the minority in any club that is mixed. But on the whole golf is becoming much more equal.’ Rant: He added: ‘Equality for women: A few people battled away to get it, they got it, and they have buggered up the game for a lot of people.’ She suggested that possible reasons why golf was not as popular among women included the fact that it was quite an expensive activity and that other sports such as cycling ‘have been marketed more successfully at women’. She added: ‘In 2015 we have to encourage equality and I certainly wouldn’t be a member at a club where I was treated differently just because I was a woman. ‘I think a lot of ladies would feel the same in this day and age.’ However, Tory MP Philip Davies said he agreed with Mr Alliss, adding: ‘This is the consequence of all the legislation. The equality fanatics can’t pick and choose – they either want full equality or they don’t. If they want full equality then they are going to have to pay the same price as everybody else. ‘I don’t suppose [Mr Alliss’s] view is outdated. His view is a factual view to be perfectly honest. He is looking at the practicalities of it.’ The Equality Act applies to clubs with mixed memberships. Male-only golf clubs are still legal. Mr Alliss became a professional golfer in 1947, represented Britain in the Ryder Cup eight times and won 21 tournaments in his career. He began working for the BBC in 1961.

A physician, 93, who team doctor for five U.S. men's Olympic hockey squads, including the 'Miracle on Ice' team that won in the 1980's, has suffered serious injuries in an attack while visiting his wife's grave on Sunday. George Nagobads was allegedly mugged by a teenager on Sunday afternoon at the Crystal Lake Cemetery in Minneapolis while laying flowers on his wife Velta's grave. He was released from the hospital on Tuesday with 18 stitches in his head. Scroll down for video .

Visiting his wife: Nagobads was visiting his wife's grave at The Crystal Lake Cemetery when he was allegedly beaten with a snowbrush . After allegedly being attacked by a snowbrush on Sunday, a bloodied Nagobads managed to get back in his car and drive away. Nagobads, who is recovering at home, said on Tuesday that he sped to a nearby hospital following the beating. He told The Star Tribune that he suffered a slight concussion and was kept overnight for observation. Video courtesy Fox 9 . 'I brought new flowers and was just stooping down,' said Nagobads of honoring his wife Velta Nagobads who died in 2005. Nagobads said that by throwing his wallet in attempt to distract the teen he was able to get away without further harm. 'I’m so lucky. … I used that little trick and threw the wallet to get to my car' about 40 yards away, the doctor said. As the boy picked up the wallet, Nagobads continued, 'I was running … really fast. I was surprised how I could run like this.' Victory: He was the doctor fro the 'Miracle on Ice' team that won the improbable gold medal in Lake Placid . Miracle on Ice: Nagobads was team doctor for the famous 'Miracle on Ice' team that won Olympic gold in 1980 and that inspired the 2004 movie 'Miracle' Nagobads said that he bled heavily while behind the wheel of his car and risked being stopped by a cop. 'I drove way over the speed limit. If a cop catches me, that’s fine,' he said he thought after the attack on Sunday. Witness Justin McCarthy says he saw a young man around the age of 14 or 15 looking through a wallet near the mausoleum before fleeing by bicycle and jumping over a fence. 'I saw the kid there. I put two and two together, and I just got really mad,' said McCarthy. McCarthy said he chased the teen but not very far. 'I’m 52 and I’m kind of fat. It wasn’t going to happen. … I was completely exhausted,' said McCarthy. Mccarthy said that Nagobads told him, 'I gave him my wallet, and he still tried to kill me.’ Nagobads was the University of Minnesota men's hockey team physician for 34 years until his retirement in 1992. He also worked for the Minnesota North Stars in the late 1980s and early 1990s. And he was team doctor for the famous 'Miracle on Ice' team that won Olympic gold in 1980. He was played by Kenneth Welsh in the 2004 movie 'Miracle,' about the USA’s improbable gold medal run in Lake Placid. The cemetery is owned by Bill McReavy, who said, 'This is an isolated incident and we are looking at it very closely.' Unfortunately,It wasn't captured on security video.

When keen runner Julie Creffield was training for a marathon when she was a size 18, she was often heckled with taunts of 'Oi, fatty!' as she ran. Even her doctor told her she was too big to contemplate running 26.2 miles and should give up on her goal. With stories like this, it is perhaps no surprise that a new survey has found two thirds of women believe they can't run - despite being desperate to be fitter and healthier. Scroll down for video . When she was a size 18, Julie was told she was too fat to run but she completed a marathon, left, and has done numerous races since, including one at the London 2012 Olympic park, right . Julie, 37, from Stratford in East London, didn't let her critics stop her from running. She completed a marathon in 2012 - and has done numerous other races since. Now through her website, The Fat Girl's Guide To Running, she's encouraging other women to take up the sport regardless of their size and ability. She appeared on today's This Morning with sub-three hour marathoner Nell McAndrew to launch the ITV show's Run For Your Life campaign. Julie said: 'Two million more men than women in the UK play sport because women are often too worried about what they look like and fear they will be judged by others, this has to stop. 'Run For Your Life will show that anyone can find success with running, and show that women of all shapes and sizes that running can be fun and can be a great way of improving physical and mental health. And if enough women get involved and give it a go, we can really start tackling negative perceptions in our own communities. 'I was told by a doctor I was too fat to run, and just three weeks later I proved him wrong by running the Brighton Marathon, but you don't have to be able to run far or even fast to benefit from the joys of running, its all about taking part and being inspired…even if you are still a little bit rubbish at it.' Julie, back right, appeared on today's This Morning with Nell McAndrew, back left, to encourage women to take up running. Front row from left: Francesca, Kerrie and Shirley are taking up the challenge . Marathon runner Nell McAndrew encouraged the women to believe in themselves . Nell, whose Guide To Running book was published by Bloomsbury this month, added: 'Break down that barrier of being embarrassed and you will meet like-minded people in the running community. 'There's lots of support on Twitter with groups such as UK Run Chat. 'When you start running, your confidence will soon grow. I just used to go to local park and could only manage short distances but I gradually built it up. Doing races is real confidence booster so believe in yourself as you can do it.' A This Morning poll of 1000 women found that 60 per cent think they can't run yet 88 per cent would like to be fitter than they are. Seventy per cent haven't been for a run in the last year but more than 75 per cent plan on getting fitter this year. Many women are put off running because they fear they are not fit enough and are self-conscious about being seen sweating and panting while out on a jog. Julie loves running and has never let her size hold her back. She encourages other women to do the same . Others believe their size is holding them back so they don't bother - even though by taking up the sport they could lose weight. The This Morning project, like the recently launched 'This Girl Can' Sport England campaign, aims to show women they can run - even if they are currently unfit and overweight. The show will follow three novice runners - Shirley Hargan-Kennedy, 38, from Glasgow, Francesca Kennedy, 23, from Redditch, and Kerrie Jones, 37, from Cannock, Staffs - as they train for five weeks to run 5K. The show is encouraging viewers to join them on the journey by taking up running themselves. The three women revealed they currently fall into the camp of not believing they can run but want to give it a go to improve their health and wellbeing. Phillip Schofield hands out new trainers to the three woman sat on the sofa who believe they can't run but have agreed to try a five week programme culminating in a 5k race . Francesca said: 'I've tried running up and down my close and I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack.' Shirley said she wants to become like the runners she sees out training enjoying the exercise and taking in the scenic countryside when they run off-road. Overweight Kerry explained that her motivation is to partly aid weightloss, as well as to set a good example to her children. She said: 'I know I have always been fat but finding out I'm now classed as clinically obese is scary. 'I need to do this for my children, it's not about dress size anymore it's about health. Society is more accepting of big woman now but for health that's not good. 'What I hope to get from this is a new me so I'm not the fat mum at the school gates.' Julie knows how Kerry feels as she weighed 20st when she first started running in 2003. Now she is slimmer and fitter but she explains women have so much more to gain from taking up running than just weightloss. Nell looked the part as she arrived at the ITV studios in her running leggings and trainers . She said: 'I'm not a size 8 and if I can do it, so can you. Woman who take up running will come to realise it's fun and then they will want to do it more. We often hate running as it hurts but you can find ways to enjoy it. 'You have to build up gradually stop letting excuses like having bad knees or a bad back or no sports bra stopping you getting out the door. Get out and start walking then build up to running and you will see the health improvements.' Julia advised anyone who is concerned about taking up running to speak to their doctor first. To avoid injury, she also recommends wearing supportive trainers, starting slowly and stretching after running. One of the reasons many people avoid running is a fear that it's bad for their knees. But a study of 75,000 runners, which was published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise last year, found that 'running significantly reduced osteoarthritis and hip replacement risk due to, in part, running's association with lower BMI (Body Mass Index)'. Nell McAndrew finishing the 2012 London Marathon . 1. Invest in a good pair of trainers and some seam-free running socks. You are best going to a specialist shop for this as they will assess your running gait (or style) to find the appropriate pair. It's the only big investment you have to make and it's so important that your feet are comfortable. 2. Buy a good sports bra. Aside from running shoes, this is the other essential for women. 3. Team up with a friend so that you can support and motivate each other. If you have arranged to meet someone you'll be less likely to back out. Running with someone else also helps the minutes tick by as you have a good gossip. Alternatively look for a beginner's group or couch to 5km scheme in your area (runengland.org is a great place to start). 4. Make steady progress. If you haven't run before, download a couch to 5km programme or app (there are plenty available for free) as they advocate lots of walking and running to start with. Build up gradually, increasing your running duration by no more than 10 per cent every week. 5. Have a plan. We women are all so busy and I find it helps to sit down at the start of the week and think about what I have on each day so that I can plan when to fit in a run. It's amazing how it slots into your routine - I've jogged to school to pick up my son with my daughter in the pushchair and then jogged back as he scoots or cycles along with us. Make it work for you. 6. Log your progress. Psychologists have proven that keeping a record of your running achievements helps to spur you on. So write everything down in a diary and flick back through it when you need a boost. 7. Enter a race. OK, this is not as daunting as it sounds, I recommend everyone tries a parkrun (parkrun.org.uk) after about 5-6 weeks of running regularly. These free 5km events are held weekly at around 300 parks in the UK. 8. Be competitive. This doesn't mean you are aiming to win Olympic medals or set a record for your age group. But making targets for yourself can keep you going. It might be that you set a goal of running 5km after 6 weeks or finishing ahead of a certain person in training. It all helps hugely with motivation. 9. Eat well. One of the things I love about running regularly is that I can stay in shape without having to stick to a strict diet that forbids the eating of certain food groups. In my modelling days, the girls who were on no-carb, or no-fat diets always seemed so miserable. And sports scientists all agree that a moderate amount of carbs are essential for running. 10. Remember why you run. Maybe it's to lose weight, to raise money for charity or to de-stress. Whatever the reason, don't lose sight of it. That way when that little voice inside your head tries to stop you from heading out on a run to stay on the sofa with chocolate instead, you will overcome it. Running will empower you in a million ways. Run first and eat your chocolate afterwards (chocolate milk is proven to be a great recovery drink).

An Italian woman accused of carrying out acid attacks on her ex-boyfriends was desperate to 'purge' her previous relationships, a Milan court heard. Martina Levato and her German boyfriend Alexander Boettcher, 30, planned to throw 'corrosive liquid' at men she had previously been linked to even if just by a kiss, it was claimed. The 23-year-old, who was reportedly a student at Milan's private Bocconi university, also tried to castrate a man's genitals while in his car in May 2014, prosecutors alleged. Martina Levato (left) and her German boyfriend Alexander Boettcher (right), 30, wanted to 'purge' her previous relationships by assaulting men she had previously been linked to, a Milan court heard . The couple was detained on December 28 last year on suspicion of throwing acid on the face and body of her ex-boyfriend Pietro Barbini. The 22-year-old was left with third-degree burns and damage to his right eye. The court heard Levato said she would 'do something bad' for property broker Boettcher, who asked her to draw up a list of ex-boyfriends. One of their plans included travelling to London in January to carry out an attack on a man that flirted with Levato in Ibiza, the investigating judge Giuseppe Gennari said. One of their plans included travelling to London in January to carry out an attack on a man that flirted with Levato in Ibiza, the investigating judge said . Investigators also explored the possibility that Levato and Boettcher had attempted similar attacks against other people, including one man - named only as G.C. - who managed to dodge the acid. The couple bought paint guns, pepper spray and 'corrosive liquid' ahead of their arrest, it was revealed. Their alleged accomplice Andrea Magnani, 32, was arrested in February and also faces charges. Mr Gennari added the attacks were 'frighteningly extreme' and said there was a high chance Levato would offend again if released. The pair were given fresh detention orders.

(CNN)Where do you go from here? The fourth season of "Game of Thrones" saw massive battles, major deaths (Tywin!) and White Walkers, but what can fans expect Sunday as we head into a fifth season of one of the most popular shows in HBO history? It's the most high-profile premiere yet, airing simultaneously in 170 countries for the first time. (HBO is a Time Warner company, like CNN.) We sought out "Thrones" aficionado Doug Gross, a writer for Nerdwallet and a former CNN employee, who had a few thoughts on the matter (beware, TV fans, he has read the books). "We're going to start seeing some of the show's major story arcs coming together," Gross said (as confirmed by the executive producers). "Already, Stannis has shown up at the Wall to save Jon Snow and the rest of the Night's Watch from the wildlings," he said. "Now we'll see how his quest for the Iron Throne collides with the Watch's supposedly non-political role protecting the realm." Tyrion's path should cross with Daenerys' this season, according to the trailers. "Season five also will be unique in that some of the major story arcs will clearly be moving ahead of where George Martin is in the 'Song of Ice and Fire' books," Gross pointed out. Executive producer David Benioff told Rolling Stone, "We are starting to build to a crescendo, which means the battles have to get bigger and things have to get more dramatic." Indeed, this fifth season means we're past the halfway point, with the show currently set to end after seven years. The Stark daughters, Arya and Sansa, will be the characters to watch this season, as will Cersei. The world of Westeros is constantly plagued by war, but is there a time when people have just had enough? "Wars are waged by the nobles, but it's the common folk who suffer," Gross noted. "And, this season, we'll get a glimpse of what happens when those common people have had enough."

The smash hit series "Game of Thrones" returns for a fifth season Sunday . Major story arcs should start to converge this year .

Shaun Bryan - who was the intended target of the shot which paralysed little Thusha Kamaleswaran in 2011 - was jailed for another crime this week . The criminal who dodged the bullet that paralysed five-year-old Thusha Kamaleswaran in a botched gangland hit has been jailed. Shaun Bryan, 23, was the intended target of the shooting that shocked the nation in March 2011. Thusha, who had been was playing in the aisle of her uncle's shop in Stockwell, south London, was caught in the crossfire when two gangs clashed. Bryan has now been jailed for a separate crime in which he and an accomplice subjected two women to a 'ruthless attack' in their home in Croydon, south London on December 17 last year. He and 20-year-old Gino Sawyers threatened the women at knifepoint before stealing mobile phones, a laptop and cash. They were both sentenced at Croydon Crown Court after pleading guilty to aggravated burglary. Thusha was hit in the chest and the bullet passed through the seventh vertebra of her spine in 2011. Chilling CCTV footage showed the girl, then five, skipping and dancing in one of the aisles of the shop when she was shot. She went into cardiac arrest twice, and had to undergo emergency surgery in the shop and in hospital. Doctors feared that she would never be able to move her legs again - but she has since regained feeling in both legs, raising hopes that she might one day be able to walk. Thusha Kamaleswaran, pictured left in a documentary, was paralysed in 2011 when gang members shot at Bryan . CCTV showing Thusha falling to the ground in the shop where the shooting which shocked Britain took place . In Bryan's most recent crime, police officers used a mobile phone tracking app to trace him and his accomplice but lost the pair when they dropped the items they stole. The Met's dog unit was called in and an Alsatian called Jacob helped hunt down the pair. Both men were sentenced to six years and three months, with Bryan, of Stockwell, jailed and Sawyers, of no fixed abode, sent to a young offenders' institution. Investigating officer Detective Constable John Davis said: 'This burglary was of a particularly violent nature, the men subjected the two victims to a ruthless attack by threatening them with knives and violence in their own home.' Bryan was previously sentenced to two years and four months in a young offenders' institution in 2012 after pleading guilty to eight counts of supplying heroin and cocaine at the Inner London Crown Court.

Measuring 30cm high and made entirely from cake, these amazing hand-crafted designs are a luxury alternative to traditional Easter eggs. The incredibly detailed works of art were inspired by Faberge's famous jewelled eggs, and painstakingly created by 14 of the UK's top cake artists. Each of the intricate treats is entirely edible and were made using a range of decorating techniques and sugar work. Scroll down for video .

Purple cake with gold detailing and purple roses by Rose Marie's cake (left) and Zee Chik Cakes' peephole egg with sugar work figurine (right) The eggs were created as part of a feature for Cake Masters Magazine - and feature in this month's edition, with Easter just around the corner. Rosie Mazumder, editor of Cake Masters Magazine, said: 'The eggs that have been created for this feature are just fantastic. 'The attention to detail and the hours spent working on the eggs shows in the presentation of each individual one. 'The eggs were on display at Cake International in London last weekend, and it was great to get a closer look at them all.' The creations take their inspiration from the iconic Russian eggs created by jeweller Peter Carl Faberge which were famously gifted to figures including the Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II.

Jacqui Kelly from Totally Sugar, who created the patriotic Union Jack egg, said: 'I am a Scots girl at heart but London is my adopted home. 'And when I drive along the river in the evenings, the lights of the London skyline take my breath away every time. So it was easy to draw inspiration when I knew the eggs would be displayed at the ExCeL in London.' Laura Loukaides, from Laura Loukaides Cakes, said: 'My egg is inspired by one of my favourite Fabergé designs - the 1914 Mosaic egg created for Nicholas II of Russia. Cupcake Oven's pink, green and gold cake was made using a special cake enamelling technique,  royal icing piping, and golden sugar roses . Totally Sugar's cake features the Union Jack and London landmarks including the Millennium Dome, London Eye and Tower Bridge . Bella Baking's egg cake is covered in sugarpaste and all the decoration is piped in royal icing . 'The craftsmanship and detail is just incredible. I wanted to combine the jewelled effect with my favourite colour scheme - black, gold and pearl. 'I love how black diamonds look in fine jewellery so I wanted to replicate the style by creating a diamond encrusted egg using individually placed sugar pearls.' Suzanne Thorp, from The Frostery, said: 'Faberge created these lavish eggs for Russian royalty - so I thought about our "Queen of Cakes", Mary Berry. 'My egg is in appreciation of her. The inspiration came from the 1902 Clover Leaf egg and it includes clover leaves, a hand-painted plaque and a sugar fairy as the surprise.' Yellow Bee Cake Company's Vicky Turner said:  'As soon as I saw the Fabergé carousel eggs, I knew that would be my inspiration for my own egg. 'I wanted to give the egg a cake theme so, instead of horses, I've used cakes. You'll even spot my first ever hidden scene cake in there, amongst slices of cakes and a tiny model of a crab on a cupcake.'

The colours work beautifully together. 'Fabergé eggs have a very ornate presence and we wanted to keep this in our design, but also add our own style. 'We created oval plaques with rich gold moulded edging, in keeping with Fabergé, and inside, we placed hand-crafted sugar flowers inspired by the four seasons of weather in the UK.' Calli Hopper of Callicious Cakes was inspired by art. She said: 'I was inspired by a Baroque/Rococo theme for my Faberge egg. I came across a series of delightful late 18th century illustrations by German artist Felix Schlesinger, who did a series of rustic paintings. 'As we are nearing Easter, I thought this an endearing theme to reproduce and hand paint.' Diana Woolmer of Dee's Sweet surprise said: 'My favourite Fabergé eggs are the ones decorated in pearls with lots of gold detail. This is my style of cake decorating so, for me, this is what I had to go with in terms of design. I kept my colours simple and let the gold do its thing.' Calli Hopper, who runs Callicious Cakes, was inspired by 18th century illustrations by German artist Felix Schlesinger . 'The hardest part of the process for me was the design part, my head was full with too many ideas,' she continued. 'In the end I ditched the sketch pad, covered my egg in icing and just went to work with what felt right. Each pearl was added individually and I even made some of my own silicone moulds for some of the details. The egg took me around five days to finish.' Rhu Strand of Pimp My Cake said: 'My inspiration came from the Lily of the Valley style eggs. 'My passion in sugar is creating figurines; I was drawn to the Lily egg and instantly wanted to include a 1920s flapper girl. I have used wire work to create the stems and sugar pearls for the flowers.' Inga Ruby-Burn of Bella Baking said: 'My egg is inspired by the series of exquisite Imperial Faberge eggs, which were made for the Russian Imperial family between 1885 and 1916. During that time period, ornate royal iced cakes were affordable only to the very wealthy and so it seemed only appropriate to pipe all the decoration on to my egg. The main covering represents a speckled duck egg.' The Cake Masters Magazine Sugar Eggs Collection went on display at the ExCel in London from March 27 to 29 with more than 1.2 million visitors flocking to see the elegant edible treats. Diana Woolmer who runs Dee's Sweet Surprise took five days to complete her cake, adding each golden pearl individually by hand .

The average Briton enjoys 884 cups of tea each year – or enough to fill two bathtubs, a survey has found. The YouGov poll of more than 2,000 Britons revealed that we consume an average of 17 cups of tea each week. The research showed that our tea-drinking habits increase as we get older, with those aged 55 and over typically enjoying 21 cups of tea a week compared with 18 to 24-year-olds, who only drink eight cups a week. The average Briton enjoys 884 cups of tea each year – or enough to fill two bathtubs, a survey has found . The poll also found that almost a third of women turn to a cuppa to make them feel better when they are unwell – in comparison with only 16 per cent of men. Youngsters are more likely to turn to a cuppa when they are sad, with nearly a quarter of 18 to 25s saying they put the kettle on when they are feeling down, compared with just 11 per cent of 55 and overs. And more than half of adults associated a cup of tea with ‘comfort and relaxation’ – confirming the results of a separate survey which yesterday revealed that sweet tea promotes relaxation and relieves stress. Mary Rance, chief executive of charity Contact The Elderly – which commissioned the poll and organises tea parties for older people – said: ‘This confirms that tea really is part of our national identity. We know from our parties and our research that a cup of tea brings Britain together.’ The poll found that almost a third of women turn to a cuppa to make them feel better when they are unwell . 'At Contact The Elderly, we know first hand that a monthly tea party makes a huge difference to the lives of our older guests, many of whom do not have regular face-to-face contact with anyone other than their carer or the postman. 'The number of isolated over-75s is growing, and there are still one million lonely older people in England, Scotland and Wales who are completely cut off from society and in need of our help. 'We know from our parties and our research that a cup of tea brings Britain together, so as we celebrate our Golden Jubilee, we urge people to support us by volunteering to put the kettle on for lonely older people.'

A man who claims he kicked a young mother out of his car when she got too drunk on their date has been arrested for obstructing justice two weeks after she vanished. Ashley Pegram, a 28-year-old mother-of-three, left her Summerville, South Carolina home for a date with a man she had met on messaging service Kik on the evening of April 3. Her sister, Brandy Chance, reported her missing the next day and went through her Kik account, where she found messages from a man who identified himself as 18-year-old Emoney Bon. But when she spoke with him, it emerged he was actually a 30-year-old man, Edward Primo Bonilla. Scroll down for video . Missing: Ashley Pegram, left, has been missing since she went on a date with Edward Primo Bonilla, right, on April 3 after they met online. He has now been charged with obstructing justice . Bonilla told her he had kicked her sister out of the car around midnight. On the messaging service, he had sent Pegram's account a message apologizing for leaving her but making sure she had got home OK, WCSC reported. But surveillance video taken outside a Sunoco gas station on the night of Pegram's disappearance shows her getting out of Bonilla's car, entering the convenience store and returning to the vehicle at 1am. The car then drives away with both people inside, although it is not clear if the person seen in the surveillance footage in Bonilla, WCSC reported. WVTM reported that the blue Hyundai Sonata belonged to Bonilla. He told authorities he believed he had dropped her near the Piggly Wiggly supermarket in Berkeley County. Caught on camera: She was seen inside a gas station convenience store in the early hours of April 4 . Spotted: She then headed back to a car, identified as Bonilla's. He said he later forced her out of the car . Deputies interviewed Bonilla and during a follow-up, he allegedly gave false and misleading information, but they would not provide further details. 'At this point, foul play is a definite possibility,' Dorchester County Sheriff's Captain Tony Phinney said. Bonilla has been charged with obstruction of justice and he was given a $400,000 surety bond during a court appearance on Thursday. Pegram's sister, Brandy Chance, said the missing woman's children, aged 13, eight and nine months, are devastated. 'Her little baby's having nightmares,' she told ABC News 4. 'The oldest one is having depression. And I can't do anything, I'm not really good for comforting now, you know.' Have you seen her? Pegram is a mother to three children who are devastated by her absence, family said . Chance added that her sister would often go on dates with men she met online, and even though she told Pegram it was dangerous, 'she just didn't listen'. Pegram had been mourning the death of her boyfriend, who passed away in a traffic accident in January, but her family does not believe she would hurt herself. 'She loves us too much,' Chance said. The 28-year-old is 5ft1 with brown har and brown eyes. She was wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and black flip flops with sparkles. If you have any information you are asked to called the Dorchester County Sheriff's Office at 843-832-0300. See below for video .

(CNN)A mysterious affliction has killed as many as 18 people in southwestern Nigeria, leaving health officials scrambling to determine its cause. The cases have all occurred in Nigeria's Ondo state since April 13, health officials said Sunday. Dr. Dayo Adeyanju, Ondo's state commissioner for health, said 18 people have died and five people are being treated. Those affected are between the ages of 25 and 60. The disease does not appear to be contagious, he said. Symptoms include headaches, blurred vision, loss of sight and unconsciousness, Adeyanju said. Some suspect it may be the result of locally brewed alcohol. The World Health Organization, earlier Sunday, reported at least 13 people were killed and that there were 18 total cases. Those numbers were reported by Adeyanju released somewhat different totals. Investigators sent samples of blood, urine and spinal fluid to a university in the city of Lagos for tests, which ruled out infections from viruses or bacteria, the WHO said. Doctors plan to carry out toxicological tests on one of the victims who died in a hospital, WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic said.

18 dead and 5 being treated, Nigeria says . Locally brewed alcohol is suspected . Some patients have died within hours .

He has just been given licence to pick one of the finest backs of the era for the World Cup, but Michael Cheika is more pre-occupied with the denigration of his Wallaby pack. Toulon playmaker Matt Giteau could be a glorious asset at the showpiece tournament after Australia’s policy against picking players based abroad was relaxed this week, but one thing he can’t do is anchor the scrum. The national coach refuses to bite back, but he has evidently noted and logged claims from these parts that his forwards will be cannon fodder for their English and Welsh rivals, amid the three-way tussle for qualification from daunting Pool A. Australia head coach Michael Cheika is aware that his pack is being written off for the World Cup . Cheika's side will face England and Wales in crunch pool games at the tournament in September . England's pack demolished Australia at scrum-time during last November's 26-17 victory at Twickenham . In fact, many of the claims have come from these pages. Speaking to Sportsmail from Sydney, Cheika repeatedly name-checked a certain knight of the realm and columnist of this newspaper, among the voices arguing that the green-and-gold pack will be smashed into submission. ‘It has been pretty well reported here that Clive Woodward and others have said that England are going to take us apart in the forwards,’ he said. ‘That’s what we’ve been hearing. I understand that they will have a lot of confidence in their forwards to take us on, but I think you discount the English backs at your peril, because they have some very powerful runners. In Ben Youngs, Care and Wigglesworth, they have three half-backs who will challenge the line every time. ‘Joseph looks like a nice player and they’ve got some good options in midfield now. Tuilagi will come back into it, they have Barritt too and big Sam (Burgess) might even get a run soon enough, as he grows into the game. Ford has done well for England at 10, they’ve got fast wingers and I’m a big fan of Mike Brown at full-back. There are a variety of threats that we will have to deal with.’ Cheika’s admiration for England’s attacking runners behind the scrum is part of the former Leinster coach’s overall assertion that the European nations are just as adept at playing an open game as their southern rivals, when conditions allow. But his repeated references to the pre-tournament dismissal of his pack suggest that there will be a strong emphasis on the set piece in particular during the World Cup countdown over the summer. Toulon playmaker Matt Giteau (left) is set to feature for the Wallabies at the World Cup . ‘Commentators in the UK are saying we won’t be able to match it with England and Wales in the forwards,’ he reiterated. ‘They’re saying that it’s a shame to waste the talent in our backs. There’s been a fair bit of that coming out, but we’re working hard to make up ground in that area. ‘Clive Woodward – who is not just your average spectator – says we won’t be able to compete with the English scrum. For us, it’s about having a clear philosophy about how we want to do it then practising a lot. We will aim to be at our best in every single scrum.’ According to Cheika, the epic final day of this year’s Six Nations – truly ‘Super Saturday’ – gave a vivid demonstration to viewers Down Under about the threat to the Wallabies from England and Wales. ‘Both those sides are shaping up well,’ he said. ‘England will be on home soil and the Welsh will be much closer to home than we will be. I’m sure they will be fancying their chances against us. Most people are looking at us as the ones who will be in the most trouble, but we will relish it and enjoy it. ‘England and Wales will be feeling good about themselves after the Six Nations. The performance by Wales against Italy in their final game was incredible. I was watching it until it was 13-12 and it was the wee small hours here so I went to bed. When I woke up, they had won by 50! When they needed to, they were able to do that and that is very confidence-building.’ As a long-standing fan of rugby league, Cheika is well aware of Sam Burgess’s potential to make a major impact in his new code, once he has come through the transition phase. He is preparing for the Bath player to be unleashed against Australia; a country where he is revered in light of his title-winning exploits for the Rabbitohs in Sydney. Cheika has cited Ben Youngs (left) and Danny Care as dangerous No 9's who challenge the advantage line . Jonathan Joseph (second left) was superb for Stuart Lancaster's side throughout the RBS 6 Nations . ‘I believe that he will be picked and that England will use him as a weapon off the bench with 10 or 15 minutes to go,’ he said. ‘He is a class footballer – a quality player and athlete. He’s aggressive too, which he showed with the way he played in the rugby league Grand Final here last year. ‘You would have him involved just for his mental approach and the way he takes the game on. There are going to be some tough calls, but just the fact that he is in the reckoning at all – even though he’s only been in union a few months and had never played it before – is positive for him.’ In contrast to his Kiwi counterpart, Steve Hansen, who is concerned that rugby is becoming boring, Cheika is expecting an ‘awesome’ World Cup with an emphasis on try-scoring, thanks in part to the improved pitches at leading grounds here such as Twickenham and the Millennium Stadium. ‘It is like playing on a carpet,’ he said. ‘It makes teams a lot more confident to play positive footy.’ Australia should be able to play positively, with their backline enhanced by the presence of Giteau – who had been in Test exile since moving to Toulon in 2011. Cheika confirmed yesterday that he met the 32-year-old recently, prior to the announcement of the ARU’s historic policy change and believes that he can add utility value to the Wallaby squad. ‘As far as I know, Matt Giteau has played No 9 there, on the odd occasion,’ he said. ‘His strength is at No 10 and No 12 obviously.’ There will be reinforcements up front too, with veteran flanker George Smith another exile now back on the radar. He could find himself competing against a fit and revitalised David Pocock, and Michael Hooper – vying with hooker Stephen Moore for the captaincy – for the openside berth. With such pedigree in just one position, Australia’s pack cannot be written off lightly. Cheika will use the jibes from afar to make sure his side are ready for the ‘Pool of Death’. England full back Mike Brown rises high to claim a high ball despite the attention of Noa Nakaitaci . Cheika is convinced Burgess will feature for England at the World Cup despite his quiet start in union . David Pocock is set to return to lead Australia after struggling with injury over the past three seasons .

Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons had been on my wish list for a while - and Mum is such a huge fan of Raymond Blanc she once confessed he could be her Mastermind subject… . Nestled in the green rolling hills of the Chilterns, Le Manoir is a striking building; a 15th Century manor house built with golden bricks and burgundy roof tiles, and boasting tall chimney stacks and climbing wisteria. It is beautiful - and it's impossible not to gawp. The impeccably kept grounds included perfectly trimmed lawns, bronze sculptures (including a scarecrow based on Blanc himself), pathways lined with lavender and the walled organic kitchen garden - which supplies the restaurant with seasonal herbs, salads and vegetables. Lucy Verasamy proudly shows one of the healthy and tasty dishes created at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons . Raymond Blanc pays a surprise visit to the cooking school that bares his name in his Oxford manor house . Our twin room for the night was huge. We loved it - from the flattering lighting and the textured wallpaper to the cashmere blankets on the end of the beds. Le Manoir's restaurant has held two Michelin stars for the best part of the 30 years since it opened. We decided to go for the full-on dining experience and the seven-course taster menu. Each dish was presented like a work of art - it almost seemed a shame to attack it with my cutlery. It was so good we were both unusually quiet. With every course came a helpful and brief explanation, and a glass of wine. The cheese trolley was one of the biggest I'd seen. By this stage I was on mouse-sized portions and ready to pop. The next morning I was woken by the sound of birds rather than the alarm on my phone. We headed down to breakfast but were distracted from the huge smorgasbord of choice by Blanc himself as he bounced around the tables, cheerfully welcoming guests. Le Manoir boasts stunning grounds, luxury accommodation and Blanc's two Michelin-starred restaraunt . Thankfully, Mum was more starstruck than stalker when it was our turn. Chatty and friendly, Blanc noticed my Bircher muesli and immediately offered up the recipe. I had signed up to the Food, Body, Mind course due to start promptly at 9am - one of several day-long courses run at the in-house cookery school. A few minutes in, Blanc unexpectedly arrived and introduced the course - passionate, enthusiastic and energetic he spoke about the importance of nutrition and being mindful of the ingredients we choose. This was right up my street and I couldn't wait to get going. Natalia, a nutritionist, and Mark, a chef who has worked with Blanc for more than 25 years, were brilliant course hosts and teachers. With their amazing knowledge, they were like a human foodie Google. Natalia banished misleading food myths, while her informative facts and figures on the latest medical research were fascinating. I couldn't help but scribble down notes. Food icon Raymond Blanc and Lucy bond over a delicious creme caramel at his Oxfordshire cooking school . I thought my limited cooking skills would be a hindrance, but far from it. Mark showed us several easy, healthy dishes - some of which we cooked, wearing our chef whites in our own fully equipped kitchens. Hands-on Blanc popped back just as we were making our sugar-free chocolate mousse - and wasted no time in helping out with the frantic whisking. Trains run from London Marylebone to Haddenham & Thame Parkway (a 10-minute drive to the hotel and restaurant) Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons offers a Wine & Dine break from £895 per couple. This includes a five-course dinner, three glasses of wine each and one night's B&B accommodation. The Food, Mind, Body course costs from £395pp. I loved every minute of it and learned so much - from interesting food facts (who knew fresh-out-of-the-ground new potatoes were a healthier option than blueberries?) to helpful kitchen skills. I've lost count of the times I've rustled up some of the recipes at home since. It had been a massive treat. I had asked Raymond which season was best to visit Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons. He replied: 'You must visit every season!' Brilliant idea.

Thousands of people, including hundreds of school children, lined the streets of Norfolk today to wave farewell to the Light Dragoons. Around 250 men and women from the reconnaissance unit, which has most recently served in Iraq and Afghanistan, marched through the town of Dereham for the final time. They were supported by more than 4,000 well-wishers, many waving flags, who lined the streets to mark the conclusion of the regiments 15 year tenure in the county. They are set to leave Robertson Barracks in Swanton Morley this summer and move some 200 miles to their new home in Catterick, North Yorkshire. Scroll down for video . Final farewell: The Light Dragoons marched through the streets of Dereham, Norfolk, as they prepare to wave goodbye to the county . The reconnaissance unit is moving from Robertson Barracks in Swanton Morley to Catterick, North Yorkshire, after 15 years . Thank you: More than 4,000 people, including hundreds of school children, lined the route to cheer on the departing troops . Patriotic: Little Poppy-Louise Brook waves her Union flag as she sits on her grandfather's shoulders to watch her father, Lance Corporal Liam Brook, march past in the parade . Many of the school children who lined the streets are from military families and will be leaving their classmates to head to Yorkshire . The 250 men and women of the regiment were inspected by a number of officials, including the county's deputy lieutenant brigadier Richard Heywood . 'We've found ourselves putting some quite deep roots out here, whether it be in the local community or taking the dog for a walk on beautiful Norfolk beaches,' said Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel James Senior, according to ITV News. 'We've found a new home here so it will be a strain to leave here. But alas all good things must end and we must move onto what's next for us.' The Light Dragoons were originally mounted on fast horses and as a result were able to move quickly across the battlefield. Today, they sit on Jackal Fighting Vehicles and they are able to deploy anywhere in the world at very short notice. In 2009 the Light Dragoons were first given permission to march through Dereham with their bayonets fixed. The farewell parade through the town included military vehicles, a jet flypast and the Band of the Royal Armoured Corps. The deputy lieutenant of Norfolk, brigadier Richard Heywood, took the salute and inspected the troops. Many of the children lining the route were from military families and are also preparing to move to North Yorkshire. Showing support: Thousands of appreciative local people watched the parade, which featured more than 250 soldiers . Commanding Officer Lieutenant Colonel James Senior said: 'We've found a new home here so it will be a strain to leave here' The Light Dragoons will hand over their barracks to another unit in the summer after more than a decade in the town . The last parade came six years after the regiment were first given permission to march through the town with their bayonets fixed . The Light Dragoons have a proud 300 year history that has seen them take part in the Jacobite Rebellions, in the Waterloo Campaign, charge down the Valley of Death at the Battle of Balaclava, and be one of the first ashore at D Day. More recently,  the regiment was deployed to Iraq in 2003 to assist with the stabilisation of the country after Saddam Hussein's regime was toppled. They returned again in 2005 to battle counter insurgency and assist with the training of the Iraqi police force. In Afghanistan the regiment were involved in numerous operations to rid the country of the Taliban, as well as assisting with the creation and training of the Afghan Army. The regiment will hand over the barracks in Swanton Morley to1st The Queen's Dragoon Guards, in July.

The Light Dragoons have been based at Robertson Barracks, Swanton Morley, for the past 15 years . More than 4,000 people, including school children, lined the streets to say farewell to the reconnaissance unit . The regiment are packing up and moving some 200 miles to their new home in Catterick, North Yorkshire . Their commanding officer said it would be 'a strain to leave' after putting down 'deep roots' in Norfolk .

Chelsea left the north London with the draw they came for, which takes them a step closer to the title. Arsenal were unable to break down their opponents in an attritional game, while Jose Mourinho's side rarely troubled David Ospina. Sportsmail's Sami Mokbel gives his verdict from the Emirates Stadium... Arsenal . David Ospina - Lucky not concede a penalty after clattering into Oscar - but produced a good stop to deny Ramires. 6.5 . Hector Bellerin - The youngster was preferred to fit again Mathieu Debuchy and justified his manager's faith. 7 . David Ospina was fortunate to get away without conceding a penalty when he clattered Oscar . Hector Bellerin does well to clear the ball off the line to prevent Oscar's lob putting Chelsea ahead . Laurent Koscielny - Cruised through the first half owing to Chelsea playing with no striker. Had more to think about following's Drogba's introduction. 7 . Per Mertesacker - Patched up after sustaining an ankle injury last weekend. Showed little sign of the problem in a strong performance. 7.5 . Nacho Monreal - Steady game for the Spaniard. Looks to be edging ahead of Kieran Gibbs for position as No 1 left-back. Booked. 6.5 . Francis Coquelin - Had to walk a disciplinary tightrope after a first-half booking - but remained industrious as ever.7 . Francis Coquelin breaks up a Chelsea attack but his holding role was made more difficult by a booking . Santi Cazorla - He's had more influential days, but kept Arsenal's midfield ticking over. Booked. 6.5 . Aaron Ramsey - Utilised, once again, in an unfamiliar right-wing role. It didn't throw him off his stride too much. Booked. 6.5 . Mesut Ozil - Not quite £42.5million, but he's getting there. Heavily involved for the Gunners but couldn't find a breakthrough. 7 . Alexis Sanchez - Fresh from his Wembley double, the Chilean wasn't quite at his best against Chelsea. 6.5 . Olivier Giroud - Endured a titanic battle with Terry. The Frenchman put himself about against the champions-elect. 6.5 . Olivier Giroud shields the ball from a masked Cesc Fabregas, but the Frenchman had little joy up front . Subs: . Danny Welbeck (on for Coquelin, 76) - Injected pace into Arsenal's attack. 6.5 . Theo Walcott (on for Giroud, 84) - Thrown on late as the Gunners searched for victory. 6.5 . Subs not used: Szczesny, Debuchy, Gibbs, Wilshere, Flamini . Manager: Arsene Wenger - His Mourinho hoodoo continues - but the French manager can be happy with his side. 6. Chelsea . Thibault Courtois - Made some routine saves but has had much more eye-catching afternoons. 6.5 . Branislav Ivanovic - Solid and steady as ever from the Blues right-back. Excellent tussle with Sanchez. Booked. 7 . Gary Cahill - A mature display from the England central-defender. Kept his cool in the heat of battle. 7.5 . John Terry - Played a crucial role in quelling Giroud's aerial threat. A typical all-action display from the Chelsea skipper. 8 . John Terry and Gary Cahill did well to prevent Giroud from becoming a threat as Chelsea kept things tight . Cesar Azpilicueta - Been one of Chelsea's most consistent players this season. Was so again at the Emirates. 7.5 . Nemanja Matic - Shielded his back-four with the expertise we've come to expect. Didn't put a foot wrong. 7 . Cesc Fabregas - Booed on his return to Emirates and booked for diving. Wasn't how he'd dreamed it last night. 6 . Ramires - Missed a glorious chance to put Chelsea ahead in the first half. Defensive instincts were vital for Chelsea. 6.5 . Ramires carries the ball past Arsenal left back Nacho Monreal in the top of the table clash . Willian - A willing runner in attack and defence for the Blues. Showed some quality on ball, too. Booked. 6.5 . Eden Hazard - He's had more productive days, but his defensive discipline was important for the visitors. 6 . Oscar - Playing in an unfamiliar role as central striker, he should have won Chelsea a penalty. Did little much else. 6 . Eden Hazard was unusually quiet, with Arsenal keeping a close eye on him, but still showed flashes of quality . Subs: . Didier Drogba (on for Oscar, 46) - So often Arsenal's tormentor. Could replicate past heroics. 6 . Kurt Zouma (on for Fabregas, 90) - Brought on to see out the final few minutes. 6 . Juan Cuadrado (on for Willian, 90) - Came on for the final few seconds. 6 . Manager: Jose Mourinho - Starting with no striker said it all. Came for a point - and got it. Job done. 7 . Referee: Michael Oliver - Could easily have awarded three penalties on busy afternoon four the official. 6.5 . Oscar had to be replaced at half time after a suspected concussion after his clash with Ospina .

Chelsea captain celebrates wildly at the final whistle after superb display . Arsenal defend well but unable to break down Jose Mourinho's side . Mesut Ozil the Gunners' best player, but couldn't unlock Chelsea .

A violent thug who went on the run before taunting police by posing on Facebook in a silver wig and Dame Edna Everage-style sunglasses has been jailed for a second time. Michael Easy, 29, from Southampton, Hampshire, sparked a nationwide police manhunt after going on the run in 2013 after attacking a woman at a party. While on the run, he posted photographs of himself on Facebook posing in a platinum wig and pink Dame Edna Everage-style glasses under the profile name of Michelle. The image showed him pressing his finger to his lips - taunting police as they had failed to track him down. Michael Easy, 29, from Southampton, Hampshire (pictured), sparked a major police manhunt after going on the run and taunted police by posing in Dame Edna-style glasses and a platinum wig in Facebook photos . Easy posted the photograph of himself in a wig and pink sunglasses under the Facebook name 'Michelle Dirt' However, officers eventually found him and he was jailed for 15 months - but he went on the run again in December last year upon his release. Officers arrested him once again and he is now facing the next four months in jail for breaching a restraining order and assaulting two prison officers during his first stint behind bars. The court heard Easy breached the restraining order when he was seen leaving a party with his former girlfriend, aged 19, in December last year. Her family called the police because they were concerned for her safety as Easy had been found guilty in January 2013 of assaulting her when she was pregnant with his child - although in court Easy disputed the child, who is now in care, was his. Southampton Magistrates' Court heard he was due in court for a trial concerning these charges in February, but failed to appear. He was convicted in his absence and a police manhunt was launched. He was found nine days later. Mark Florida-James, defending Easy for his latest crimes, told the court that his former girlfriend had told him she thought the restraining order was over and that she obliged in leaving the party with him. Easy (pictured) is now facing four months in jail after breaching a restraining order and assaulting two prison guards while at Winchester Prison . The crown applied for a new order to be imposed, with prosecuting solicitor Louise Holmes telling the hearing that Easy's former girlfriend, who cannot be named, is 'extremely vulnerable' and has learning difficulties. Ms Holmes said: 'Mr Easy's history and his previous convictions clearly show he is a man of violence towards women and his partners.' The court was handed a statement from Easy's former partner asking not to impose the restraining order, but Ms Holmes told the court that police believed she did this because she is worried for her safety. District Judge Anthony Callaway refused to impose another restraining order, telling the court the woman concerned is an adult who can make her own decisions. The court also heard how Easy assaulted two male prison officers at Winchester Prison in November last year after they tried to take him back to his cell when he became argumentative and disruptive. Easy - a serial offender who has more than 27 convictions to his name - found himself behind bars for 15 months after kicking and slapping his former girlfriend at a party. During his time in prison, he struck a guard in the face, causing swelling to his cheek, after being told to stop jumping on the net installed between prison floors to prevent suicides. In another incident, he also struck another prison officer in the face, causing facial swelling and a shoulder injury which required treatment. Mr Florida-James said: 'Mr Easy seems to attract trouble, he causes trouble, he admits that. 'He's now quite keen to have some sort of diagnosis to try to help him with these problems.' Judge Callaway sentenced Easy to 56 days for the 'serious' breach of the restraining order and a total of 56 days for assaulting the prison officers, to run consecutively. He gave no sentence for failing to surrender.

Michael Easy first went on the run in 2013 after assaulting a woman at party . While hiding from police, he taunted them by posting photos on Facebook . Caught and jailed for 15 months before going on run again on his release . Now facing four months in jail for assault and breaching restraining order .

The the first photos of Sarah Stage's healthy newborn baby boy have been released.

Sarah posted this adorable picture of James to her Instagram commenting that it was 'love at first sight' Sarah confirmed her happy news to E! revealing that her baby boy was 22 inches long at the time of his birth, adding: 'He's a big healthy boy and he got an APGAR score of eight to nine.' An APGAR score, which stands for Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, Respiration, is a quick method for assessing the health of a newborn, with scores of seven or above being considered normal. Sarah famously documented her changing figure via her Instagram page throughout her pregnancy, earning herself a huge number of fans - as well as a fair share of critics - in the process. Although the now mother came under fire last month as more and more critics spoke out against toned figure their comments never stopped the model from sharing numerous photos of her tight abs with her 1.6 million Instagram followers. In this gorgeous snap James is seen sleeping in a giraffe costume . On Tuesday Sarah shared a photo of two In-N-Out burgers, writing, 'Cravings,' although its not clear as to whether or not she enjoyed the meal before or after she gave birth.

The snapshot of her in a black bra and thong underwear has been liked over40,000 times since it was posted, and has earned nearly 4,000 comments. And Sarah, who is of European and Costa Rican descent, took to Instagram last week to share a photo of growing belly during the last weeks of her of pregnancy, writing: '10 days until we meet #BabyJames.' But Sarah didn't just receive harsh comments. Many women noted that they found Sarah's pregnancy body to be motivation to work out and live a healthy lifestyle.

'I'm completely inspired to go to the gym first thing in the morning. You look absolutely gorgeous @sarahstage #amazing [sic],' one fan wrote. 'You look absolutely lovely. Hats off to you for being fit and taking care of yourself!' another added. 'If I ever have children, I'm inspired by you to treat my pregnancy the very same way. I'm sure James will be amazing! Congratulations.' Others compared their figures to Sarah's pregnancy body, with one woman writing: '10 days before giving birth?! Lord Jesus help us all! I look like this after dinner [sic].' 'I look like that after a good meal or two,' someone else commented. Meanwhile, some people suggested that her son would be as tiny as she is - although it has since been proved that their fears about the young boy's size were unfounded. Sarah and her friend compared their growing bellies for this playful picture . Sarah shared this adorable photo of matching father and son Timberland boots .

Clearly not letting her growing baby bump get in the way of her career, Sarah continued to proudly model whilst carrying. Two weeks ago, she shared a sexy snapshot of herself in black underwear and responded to her haters. 'BTW If you don't like my pics then unfollow me,' she wrote. 'I'm excited, happy and enjoying every second of my pregnancy. Can't wait to meet James! #NFG #37weeks [sic].'

A New York City skin clinic's popular new laser treatment promises to tighten skin and improve complexion - if clients are brave enough to sign a waiver releasing their personal information to a funeral director and a coroner first. Manhattan-based Skin Laundry says that after just ten minutes, their Light and Laser procedure will leave your skin 'glowing', while also promising that long-term use will reduce wrinkles, clear acne, and minimize scarring. With these claims, the quickie treatment seems perfect on paper - unless that paper is in the mandatory eight-page contract that one client told the New York Post was like 'a Dickens novel', and includes wording that prepares for the possible death of the client. But that hasn't stopped skin-obsessed New Yorkers from flocking to the Manhattan location. Scroll down for video . Risky regimen: To get Skin Laundry's popular laser facial, clients must sign a waiver that releases their personal information to a funeral director and a coroner . 'Although rare, potential risks include blistering, crusting, itching, pain, bruising, skin whitening and/or hyperpigmentation, burns, infection, scabbing, scarring and swelling,' reads the waiver clients sign on an iPad before beginning their treatments. Then, of course, there are the more fatal risks. Clients also agree to release their personal information to a funeral director and a coroner 'for identification purposes', as well as grant permission for their organs to be donated. Yet despite such ominous language, fans of the 'addictive' procedure seem undeterred. In fact, the clinic has even had to extend its hours in order to accommodate all of its bookings - and frequent visitors are known to bring in cookies for the staff to thank them for doing such a good job. 'You can say I’m hooked,' Josh Hatfield, 27, told the Post, adding that he's been to the clinic about 20 times so far. At $100 a pop, that's some pretty pricey skin 'maintenance', as Mr. Hatfield calls it. For regulars like him, however, Skin Laundry offers bulk-buy packages that are sold at a discount; Mr. Hatfield has a $360-per-month membership that grants him eight treatments. Booming business: The New York location is the sixth for Skin Laundry, which also has clinics in California and Arizona . 'We're the future of facials,' said founder Yen Reis, 36, who gets the treatment two or three times a week herself. This particular facial is a two-step process, which the clinic says provides a deep clean for skin. Clients don protective goggles as a nurse runs a laser over their faces twice. Gel is slathered on the skin, followed by a pulsed light also applied by the nurse. In addition to the slightly troubling legal documents each client is required to sign, the treatment itself is not completely free from unpleasant side effects – including an unpleasant smell which a number of clients noted during their first treatment. 'The laser's cleaning your face. It's deep cleansing,' a nurse explains to blogger Carla Mickelborg in a video Carla took during her treatment. 'So that's what your're smelling.' Clients may not feel the need to worry about suspicious smells and potential health risks however because, despite the necessity of the waiver, there have been no reported deaths from the procedure so far. There have, though, been several claims that the treatment works, and word of mouth has proven a powerful promoter of its benefits. Skin spa: Clients of Skin Laundry's facial lay down while a nurse uses a laser and pulsing light on their skin . Her own biggest fan: Founder Yen Reis, pictured, says she gets her company's signature skin treatment two to three times a week . 'If I hadn’t had [my friend’s] testimonial beforehand, I may have backed out [when I saw the waiver],' said beauty blogger Amber Katz. Jacqueline Caterina, 33, added that she has seen an improvement to her acne scars since starting to regularly visit Skin Therapy: 'After a couple of weeks I was like, "Wow!"' However, NYC-based plastic surgeon Dr. Norman Rowe told the Post that he questions the effectiveness of the treatments, noting that they aren't very powerful if clients need to go so frequently. Still, Skin Therapy does have a number of regular customers, allowing the company to expand to a total of six locations, with four in California and one in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The inventor called it the Baird Televisor and, although most people scoffed, he believed it had potential. And, notwithstanding a few improvements to the original down the years, it seems Scotsman John Logie Baird was on to something. Now one of the earliest 'Televisors' – dating from a time when few could see any possible use for the machine – is expected to fetch up to £22,000 at auction. Early model: The picture appeared in the opening on the right - the TV is now being sold at an auction . It was manufactured in 1928 - two years after Logie Baird (pictured) first demonstrated a working TV system . This forerunner of the television was manufactured in 1928 – two years after Logie Baird first demonstrated a working TV system – and has the serial number 258. The wooden set has a spiral punched scanning disc which has been fully restored and still has its original tube. That is not to say it is capable of picking up Sky or BBC channels – even with a set-top box. However, the television, built as an item of furniture for well-to-do families with deep pockets, represents a key milestone in the birth of modern mass media. It is being auctioned off as part of a speciality telecommunications sale by Auction Team Breker in Cologne, Germany. The lot is one of the highlights of the Milestones of Telecommunication sale on Saturday – and, fittingly, it uses the type of technology pioneered by men like Logie Baird that will allow bidders to take part in the auction live from anywhere in the world. Smart TV: The Televisor has been restored - it was built as an item of furniture for well-to-do families . The Televisor was the first receiver sold in Britain. Around 1,000 were made by English company Plessey and cost about £26 – a four-figure sum today. The poor quality picture was tiny – little bigger than a postage stamp – and it was impossible for more than one person to see it at a time. A rotating aluminium disk with square pinholes 'scanned' light from a neon lamp, which varied in brightness depending on the information transmitted by the TV station. Also going under the hammer are the first fax machine and a prototype colour television set. In January 1926, Helensburgh-born Logie Baird demonstrated a viable television system before 50 scientists using mechanical picture scanning with electronic amplification at the transmitter and receiver. The image could be sent by radio or over ordinary telephone lines, leading to the historic transatlantic transmissions of television from London to New York in February 1928. That year he also achieved the first television transmission to a ship in mid-Atlantic. In 2011, a 1936 set by Logie Baird – bought for almost £100 three weeks after transmissions began – sold at Bonhams for £16,800. The machine had a 12-inch screen contained in a walnut and mahogany case, with the picture being reflected onto a mirror that opened from the top.

One of the earliest Televisors is expected to fetch up to £22k at auction . Forerunner of the television was manufactured in 1928 and cost around £26 . Television had tiny, poor quality picture - little bigger than a postage stamp .

It is little over a year since Alan Pardew became involved in a rather ugly touchline confrontation with Manuel Pellegrini while managing Newcastle. Pardew was warned about his behaviour by the FA and wrote to Pellegrini to apologise for the offensive name he called him. On Monday at Selhurst Park, Pardew, now manager of Crystal Palace, meets Pellegrini and Manchester City again having taken steps to change a pattern of behaviour he feared was becoming destructive. After taking advice from the League Managers’ Association, the 53-year-old has benefited from sessions with former international cricketer Jeremy Snape, now a sports psychologist. Alan Pardew called Manuel Pellegrini a 'f***ing old c**t' during Premier League encounter back in . The touchline spat occurred during a Premier League match between Newcastle and Man City in January 2014 . ‘My natural instinct is to be aggressive in the way my teams play,’ Pardew told the BBC. ‘But I have had to learn from my own experiences and not get too involved in that myself. Jeremy has helped me on the sidelines in terms of focusing on what I can control. ‘All the times I have been in trouble (I have reacted) when I felt an injustice so when those issues arise now, I know not to react and that is when I switch the off button.’ Pellegrini’s team are under a little pressure. Now trailing neighbours Manchester United ahead of Sunday’s derby at Old Trafford, Pellegrini knows he must lift his side from a run of results that has seen them lose touch with leaders Chelsea. Crystal Palace boss Pardew believes he has the ability to manage one of England's top sides . Pardew feels he would make a decent job of managing a top-four team if given the chance. ‘I look at the top teams and feel I could do that job better than I’m seeing it being done. But if I work in this part of the league for the rest of my career I will be extremely happy,’ he said. Pellegrini said recently he felt his City squad lacked one really big player. This week, he explained: ‘Well, it is just the way of thinking, that big teams need to sign a big player. It is very difficult to do it every year — but every two years you must do it.’

Alan Pardew was warned about his behaviour following touchline spat . The former Newcastle boss called Manuel Pellegrini a 'f***ing old c**t' He wrote to Pellegrini to apologise for using such offensive language . Crystal Palace host Manchester City at Selhurst Park on Monday .

A mother of three has been jailed for a year after conning a D-Day veteran out of nearly £10,000 and leaving him too traumatised to leave his home. Beverley Davis was supposed to be helping to care for 89-year-old former Royal Marine Ray Warren but tricked him into handing over his bank cards to steal £9,164 over 42 transactions. Her actions left elderly Mr Warren so devastated that he lay in bed at night worrying about money and even stopped going out. Beverley Davis, pictured, pleaded guilty of duping a Royal Marine war veteran out of almost £10,000 . The 35-year-old mother-of-three used Ray Warren's bank cards to buy Chinese takeaways, pay for creche fees and even clear some of her mortgage arrears after she gained his trust while working as a carer in his home . He died just five months after her crime was discovered and his daughter Elaine Symonds said Davis, 35, got what she deserved. The 58-year-old, from Norwich, Norfolk, said: 'He just gave up on life, he just couldn’t believe someone would do this to him. 'She robbed me of my dad. He stopped going out, he was so scared. 'I’ll never be able to forgive her – she needs to realise she can’t do this to people.' Davis first won Mr Warren's trust by helping him with his shopping and chores at home, Portsmouth Crown Court heard. He had lent her £6,000 - which she had never paid back - and also paid her £30 a week for helping around the house. Prosecutor Martyn Booth said: 'He had the usual struggles of people of that age, because of that he relied quite heavily on neighbours and friends to assist him in his day-to-day routines. 'This defendant also began to help in a small way and would do his shopping." But the pensioner realised something was wrong when his bank Santander contacted him to say he had insufficient funds in his bank account to pay for items he had tried to buy. He expected to have around £6,000 in the account and was immediately suspicious of Davis, who had duped him into handing over his cards by saying the bank needed to see them. Mr Warren and his daughter then went through his accounts and discovered cash had been spent on Amazon and eBay. A number of the transactions Davis paid to Paypal were also in the name of her children and to a family centre. In total Davis, of Havant, Hampshire, made 42 transactions from both accounts between December 19, 2013 and February 10, 2014. Davis - who cried throughout the hearing - spent cash on Chinese takeaways, Amazon, eBay, children’s nursery fees, insurance and on mortgage arrears payments. But when questioned by police she claimed her vulnerable victim was confused and a drinker. Portsmouth Crown Court, pictured, heard Mr Warren paid Davis £30-a-week to help him around the house . Mr Booth told the court she changed her story in four interviews and said: 'She changed her position saying she knew nothing about these things. 'She then said she had used some of the card details from Mr Warren and it must have been done by mistake. 'She suggested that he gave her permission to buy some of these things. 'She said he must have been confused and he was a drinker.' But Mr Warren was described by his GP as being of sound mind and was lucid despite his age. Mr Booth added: 'He was somebody who was competent and that’s a view shared by the police who investigated these events.' Police investigating Davis also uncovered a second scam where she spent £1,046 using card details from a customer at a shop she worked at. Her victim Tanya Saliba, from Havant, Hampshire, said she spotted the cash was missing and thought she had not been paid. The 46-year-old nurse said she agreed with the judge’s sentence and added: 'If she had done it the once, perhaps – but she didn’t, she did it to a vulnerable old man too. 'She knew what she was doing.' Davis admitted five charges of fraud at Portsmouth Magistrates’ Court in February and has now been jailed for 12 months. Her three children will be looked after by her family and she will be released on licence after six months.

It seems most people can't wait to shower babies with affection - pets included! Gemma the pit bull was filmed at home in California enthusiastically greeting a baby boy named Elliot with kisses. Footage shows her lovingly licking the infant as he attempts to fend her away with his hands. Despite Elliot's best efforts, Gemma keeps licking away. But the baby boy doesn't seem to mind the affectionate slobbering and he's heard merrily gurgling away. 'Is that a doggy?' his mother says as she films the scene unfold. After more than ten seconds, Gemma shows no signs of moving on. Other videos show the animal is clearly used to being around children. She also appears to be a fan of Elliot's older sister, Adeline.

French trainer Freddy Head has favourably compared his 2,000 Guineas hope Ride Like The Wind to last year's fifth-placed runner Charm Spirit, who landed three Group One races in 2014. Ride Like The Wind was one of 34 colts which remain in the first Classic of the season run on Saturday, May 2. Ride Like The Wind won just one of his four starts last season but he has run twice this term, posting a career best on his most recent start when landing the Group Three Prix Djebel by a head. French trainer Freddy Head likens his 2,000 Guineas hope Ride Like The Wind to Charm Spirit . Both the runner-up that day, Make Believe, and the fifth home, Sinfonietta, could reoppose in the Guineas to make it a three-pronged French assault on the 2,000 Guineas. Head said: ‘Ride Like The Wind will run in the 2,000 Guineas. He has done very well since his last race, his work has been good, and I think that he has improved a bit. ‘He is on the same sort of level as Charm Spirit was at this time last year. They are similar horses in that they tend to be a bit keen and if Ride Like The Wind settles better than Charm Spirit did last year I think that he has a good chance. Head says Ride Like The Wind is 'on the same sort of level' as Charm Spirit was at this time last year . ‘That is why I have given him two runs already this season, to get the freshness out of him before the Guineas. 'I was very happy with his Prix Djebel victory. He settled then quickened well and it was to his credit that he won despite being held up at the back of the field when the pace was slow. 'The undulations at Newmarket won’t be a problem for him and although seven furlongs is a good trip for him at the moment I think that he will stay a mile as long as he relaxes.’ The Aidan O’Brien-trained pair of Gleneagles and Highland Reel head the 2,000 Guineas entries. Also still in contention are the three winners of last week’s Classic trials – Kool Kompany (Craven Stakes), Home Of The Brave (Free Handicap) and Muhaarar (Greenham Stakes). Gleneagles and Highland Reel, both trained by Aidan O’Brien, lead the entries for the 2,000 Guineas . Roger Varian’s impressive Newbury winner Intilaaq could still be supplemented to the Guineas. Connections would have to pay £30,000 on Monday to add him to the line-up. One colt who is looking likely to be supplemented to the 2,000 Guineas field is Godolphin's Territories, who has pleased Andre Fabre since winning a Group Three at Longchamp. A statement on Godolphin’s website quoted Fabre as saying: ‘Territories has come out of his trial very well and has come on for the run. At this stage, a supplementary entry in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket is under serious consideration and we are 90% certain to take that route, subject to the horse continuing to please me.’

Ride Like The Wind is one of 34 colts still in the first Classic of the season . The 2,000 Guineas will be run at Newmarket on Saturday, May 2 . Ride Like The Wind is a similar horse to 2014's fifth runner Charm Spirit . The horse landed the Group Three Prix Djebel by a head last start .

The number of web pages containing child pornography has more than doubled over the past year. Researchers have also revealed the material features increasingly young children. Nine out of every ten images of child sexual abuse found online in 2014 showed children aged ten and under, according to the Internet Watch Foundation. Overall, experts from the regulator removed more than 31,000 web pages featuring vile images of sexual abuse in 2014, soaring 136 per cent from around 13,000 the previous year . That was a dramatic increase from the year before, when around two-thirds of the child porn it found featured children of such a young age. They were part of a worrying rise in the amount of child abuse the IWF discovered online. Overall, experts from the regulator removed more than 31,000 web pages featuring vile images of sexual abuse in 2014, soaring 136 per cent from around 13,000 the previous year. The jump came after the internet watchdog was told that it could proactively seek out abusive content online, in order to shut it down. The IWF won the extra powers last year in the wake of the 2012 murders of Tia Sharp, 12, and April Jones, five – girls who were both killed by men who watched child porn online. Emma Hardy, the IWF's director of external relations, said: 'The biggest change for us last year was our ability to proactively search for child sexual abuse imagery. Our analysts are able to actively search for the content, rather than merely wait for reports to come in from the public. 'That's made a huge difference. Last year we were able to process 74,000 reports and identify just over 31,000 child sexual abuse web pages. 'I think there's still a huge amount out there. We've got a long way to go until we see the peak of this problem.' In its annual report, the IWF said it alerts law enforcement agencies and hotlines in other countries when it discovers foreign-based web pages with child sexual abuse images and 'repeatedly chases' them until they are removed. Kevin Bollaert, 28, was sentenced to 18 years after he was convicted in February of 21 counts of identity theft and six counts of extortion for running websites that capitalised on the internet as a forum for public shaming . Most of the photographs and videos of sexual abuse that the IWF found online were on websites hosted in North America. Just 0.3 per cent of the images – just over 90 pictures or videos – appeared on web pages hosted in Britain, down from 18 per cent in 1996, when IWF was founded. But although more child porn is now being removed from the web, the shocking figures also highlight the massive scale of the problem online. Susie Hargreaves, chief executive of IWF, said technology companies were 'stepping up' efforts to tackle the amount of images of sexual abuse online. But she added that many of them were still too slow to take images down, or failed to acknowledge they have a problem. 'This year will ensure they have nowhere to hide as we will be targeting them for the benefit of all internet users and victims of sexual abuse,' she said. IWF is funded by 117 technology companies around the world, including Google, Facebook and Twitter. Criminals are using many legitimate websites to distribute pictures and videos of child sexual abuse imagery, the IWF said. In particular, they targeted websites which are specifically designed to allow users to upload pictures, and make them available via a unique web page address, or 'URL'. Nearly 20,000 of the web pages removed last year were hosted by these sorts of sites. ÷ Paedophiles are using the digital currency bitcoin to buy child sexual abuse images online, the IWF found. It said a number of the most prolific commercial child sexual abuse websites started accepting the currency last year.

Worrying rise in the amount of child abuse discovered on the internet . Experts from Internet Watch Foundation removed 31,000 web pages . This represented a 136 per cent rise from around 13,000 the previous year . Most pictures and videos found online were on websites in North America .

England must decide whether to stick with the attack that failed to force a first Test win or twist and freshen things up for a second match that is already upon them. The sight of Liam Plunkett and Mark Wood impressing in the nets here on Sunday, and Moeen Ali bowling apparently without discomfort after joining the squad, was a reminder that England have options for the second Test which starts on Tuesday. It would be harsh to blame the bowlers for their inability to take the eight wickets they needed on the final day of the Antigua Test because they threw everything at West Indies on a pitch that refused to deteriorate. Liam Plunkett, pictured with Chris Jordan, is pushing for a place in England's attack for the second Test . Mark Wood (pictured) and Plunkett impressed in the nets on Sunday ahead of the second match of the series . Yet there is no doubting that they were missing an X-factor, with strike bowlers Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad down on pace and England refusing to gamble on the inconsistent leg-spin of Adil Rashid. Chris Jordan was the fastest bowler in the first Test, clocked at 91mph, and while it would be a huge surprise if England dropped either Anderson or Broad, there is a case for Plunkett or the impressive Wood to feature. ‘Over the next 12 months we are going to need a squad of bowlers who can win us Test matches,’ said vice-captain Ian Bell after England’s first look at the National Stadium here. ‘Both Wood and Plunkett are bowling with really good pace and that’s important with so many Test matches to come.’ Moeen Ali has joined up with the England squad after missing the first Test in Antigua through injury . Moeen provides an option for the England selectors while Jonathan Trott appeared in good spirits on Sunday . If Moeen convinces England he is fully fit after recovering from a side injury he will probably replace James Tredwell, who took five wickets in the first Test but is now nursing a shoulder injury. That would add even more depth to an England middle order who all contributed in Antigua, with either Moeen, Ben Stokes or Jos Buttler batting as low as eight on the spice island. Meanwhile, forme rAustralia captain Steve Waugh has urged the ECB to end the ‘circus’ surrounding Kevin Pietersen’s potential England recall. Waugh said Pietersen, who was dismissed for 19 in Surrey’s first innings against Glamorgan yesterday, is ‘no longer a great player’ and does not deserve to play in this summer’s Ashes series. ‘It’s all chaotic,’ said Waugh. ‘The ECB have got to clear it up. Just make the decision and stop messing around because you’re creating a circus which is distracting everybody else.’

Liam Plunkett and Mark Wood both impressed in the nets on Sunday . Moeen Ali is also appearing to bowl without discomfort after joining squad . England were missing an X-factor as the first Test fizzled out in a draw . And selectors must decide whether to freshen things up for second match .

Somersaulting high in the skies with dizzying abandon, it is hard to imagine that this U.S. fighter jet is some 70 years old - and reconstructed from more than 200 parts. The Quick Silver P-51D Mustang has been painstakingly restored by father-and-son team Bill and Scooter Yoak as a tribute to American servicemen who have died in combat. And as this stunning on-board video shows, they have done their countrymen proud. Stunning video shows an American P-51D Mustang fighter jet taking to skies after a painstaking restoration . The fighter jet is some 70 years old and was reconstructed from more than 200 parts by a father-and-son team . The P-51, nicknamed The Resurrected Veteran, was pieced together by Bill Yoak, who did all the metal work by hand, and is flown by Scooter at air shows around the country. Originally built in 1945, it was among scores of long-range, single-seat bombers rolled out during World War Two and later used in the Korean War before being retired in the 1980s. The Yoaks say their aircraft was a 'celebration of our nation's armed forces', adding: 'Every aspect of the paint represents those who have served and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.' Writing on their website Quick Silver Mustang, they said: 'The black cape covering the front of the aircraft represents the veil of protection that our armed forces give us. 'That veil is one of the reasons why we have what we have today - freedom.' Dizzying: Bill and Scooter Yoak restored the plane as a tribute to U.S. servicemen who have died in combat . Vertigo-inducing flight: The Yoaks say their aircraft is a 'celebration of our nation's armed forces' The cape extends to the back of the canopy, spreading out and dividing into feathers, which they say 'symbolises the eagle that has flown with every aviator since the birth of aviation in 1903.' They add: 'The black paint has tiny sparkling stars in it, each sparkle represents an American Veteran that served our great country; the unsung stars in our lives. 'These veterans are the glimmering star in a mother’s eye, a wife or husband’s heart, a son or daughter’s hope for the future. 'As this silver bird quickly streaks across the sky, let us not forget those who served, sacrificed, and gave their all. God Bless America!' Historic: Originally built in 1945, the plane was among scores of long-range, single-seat bombers rolled out during World War Two and later used in the Korean War before being retired in the 1980s . Public tribute: The jet was pieced together by Bill Yoak, who did all the metal work by hand, and is flown by Scooter at air shows around the country . In their memory: Every aspect of the paint represents those who have served and gave the ultimate sacrifice .

In March 2013, he gave Tris Monk two tickets for an Ipswich game after the fan tweeted that he was 'skint'. The father-of-two from Haverhill was saving for a new house and couldn't afford to go to the match. And in July 2014, Mings bought new replica shirts for two supporters after his squad number changed from 15 to 3 after they had already purchased them. Mings arrived at Portman Road in 2013 from non-league Chippenham Town and has developed to become an integral part of an Ipswich side that is pushing for the Championship play-offs this season. In January, he was linked with a move to Premier League giants Arsenal.

A wily coyote gave the New York Police Department the runaround for more than an hour on Tuesday morning after it was spotted on the grounds of an apartment building next to a church in Manhattan. The male animal, which was eventually captured with a dart gun, was first seen by a local walking his dog in the park near the Church of the Holy Apostles at 28th Street and Ninth Avenue in Chelsea. After the resident alerted two workers to the sighting, NYPD officers arrived at the scene. However, the coyote did not surrender easily, sprinting across the grass and dodging the cops' attempts to catch it. It was only captured more than an hour later when Emergency Services Unit officers finally managed to shoot the animal with a dart laced with Ketaset. As the coyote nodded off, it was then collared. Scroll down for video . On the loose: This wily coyote gave the New York Police Department a run around for more than an hour on Tuesday morning after it was spotted on the grounds of a co-op building next to a church in Manhattan . Police chase: The male animal, which was eventually captured with a dart gun, was first seen by a local walking his dog in a park near the Church of the Holy Apostles at 28th Street and Ninth Avenue in Chelsea . Tranquilized: After the resident alerted two workers to the sighting, NYPD officers arrived at the scene. The coyote was captured (pictured) more than an hour later when it was shot with a dart laced with Ketaset . 'Safe capture': Shortly after 9am on Tuesday, Chief Harry Wedin, of the NYPD's Chief of Special Operations Division, tweeted a photo of the coyote curled up in its cage, writing that it had been 'safely captured' Finally, officers placed the urban animal in a containment box and transported it to an Animal Care & Control facility in East Harlem, Upper Manhattan, for evaluation, the New York Daily News reported. Shortly after 9am on Tuesday, Chief Harry Wedin, of the NYPD's Chief of Special Operations Division, tweeted a photo of the coyote curled up in its cage, writing that it had been 'safely captured'. It is the second time that a coyote has been sighted in New York in little more than two weeks. On March 30, another coyote spent an hour on top of the LIC bar in Long Island City, Queens, after making its way through an abandoned building. It was captured after fleeing into an old paint factory. In the latest incident, the coyote - believed to be a different animal from the Queens coyote - was filmed by members of the public running away from the NYPD, according to Eyewitness News. Richard Pichardo, who was walking to work when he noticed the commotion and began filming it, told the station: 'When I first got here, I was curious just like everybody else, and I asked what was it. On the run: The coyote did not surrender easily, sprinting across the grass and dodging on-scene officers . Predatory animal: After it was eventually captured, officers placed the urban animal in a containment box and reportedly took it to an Animal Care & Control facility in East Harlem, Upper Manhattan, for evaluation . Caught on video: The coyote was filmed by members of the public running away from the NYPD on Tuesday . Detective: ESU Detective Robert Mirfield (pictured) explained that officers were 'very careful' in their attempts to catch the 'large, full-grown [and] strong' coyote, which was seen hiding behind bushes as it evaded them . 'When they told me a coyote, I figured it was just a small one. When I caught a good video and I seen the size of him, was large, 60 maybe 70 pounds. If he was standing up, he would be taller than me.' ESU Detective Robert Mirfield explained that officers were 'very careful' in their attempts to catch the 'large, full-grown [and] strong' coyote, which was seen hiding behind bushes as it evaded capture. 'You have to approach these job very carefully, take your time, use your training and hope for the best,' Det Mirfield said, admitting he had feared being bitten. 'It's in the back of your mind,' he said. He told the New York Post that ESU officers armed with snares and dart guns had arrived at the scene at 8.30am. Cops from the 10th Precinct were already on-site, keeping an eye on the animal . 'When we felt it was safe enough, we used our animal noose to capture the animal,' he said. Darting around: 'You have to approach these job very carefully, take your time, use your training and hope for the best,' Det Mirfield said, admitting he had feared being bitten. 'It's in the back of your mind,' he said . Witness: Richard Pichardo (pictured), who was walking to work when he noticed the commotion and began filming it, said: 'When I first got here, I was curious just like everybody else, and I asked what was it' Church: The coyote was seen near the Church of the Holy Apostles (above) at 28th Street and Ninth Avenue . 'Then we placed him in an animal containment box and had him taken out to the center for animal control so they could, I guess, evaluate his health and his future... He didn’t want to get captured.' Ketaset - which the coyote was drugged with - is a rapid-acting, nonnarcotic agent for anesthetic use in cats. It is also characterized by, mild cardiac stimulation and some respiratory depression. It is believed that the coyote may have crossed one of the bridges or tunnels leading to Manhattan in the early hours of the morning, before making its way to the  grassy site at 296 Ninth Avenue. It remains unclear when and where the animal will be released. There have been numerous sightings of coyotes living in New York over the past twelve months. According to the New York Times, the predatory animals have been spotted in Pelham Bay Park, Riverside Park and even on Stuyvesant Town on the East Side. Another sighting: It is the second time that a coyote has been sighted in New York in only two weeks. On March 30, another coyote spent an hour on top of the LIC bar (pictured) in Long Island City, Queens . Taking in the sights? The animal (pictured on the roof) was captured after fleeing into an old paint factory . There are also claims that there is one coyote living in Railroad Park, Jamaica, Queens. It is believed that increasing competition for food is forcing coyotes to leave their dens and search for new territories to scavenge. Suburban areas have food availability and a lack of predators. As a result of the explosion in the numbers of coyotes living within the five boroughs, New York's Park Department has even issued guidelines on what to do if you come in contact with a coyote. It advises residents against feeding coyotes as they should be kept wary of humans, as well as pets. Coyotes are native to North America and were traditionally found in deserts or on the plains. However, now they have begun colonising urban areas and can be found in many parks across New York City. They can be mostly seen during the mating season of January to March. They can also be sighted when their pups leave between October and January.

Suarez celebrates his goal as PSG's players are left dejected after being unable to stop the Uruguayan . The Uruguayan international scored his first of the night after beating three PSG defenders before firing the ball past goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu. The Barcelona frontman cheekily nutmegged David Luiz before curling the ball into the top corner to net his second. Suarez's first goal was Barcelona's 1,000th in European competition and the La Liga giants are currently the second highest scorers on the continent. Real Madrid are the top scorers in Europe with 1,016 goals to their name, with Bayern Munich third on 823 strikes and Juventus fourth having found the back of the net on 748 occasions. Speaking after the match, Suarez said: 'We weren't overly dominant. We played intelligently, and worked hard. 'When you play against an opponent like them you have to play with intensity to get the win. We knew we had to win. There's 90 minutes still to go and nothing is sorted, but we have a good advantage.'

An irritated elephant decided to douse a buffalo bull with cold water when it got a little too close for comfort. The wildlife creature was relaxing in the Kruger National Park in South Africa with its family by a small pool of water when the bull approached - much to the elephant's annoyance. In a gesture captured on camera, the African elephant squirts the bull with water stored up its trunk to get it to leave, but misses its target. Scroll down for video .

Its young elephant cozies up to its parent for protection, as the bull drinks from a small pool of water . The large elephant keeps an eye on the bull as they move away, guarding its young which walks in its shadow . Not to be beaten, the huge creature then begins to size up the bull, which is clearly unperturbed by the actions of the elephant and carries on drinking. The amazing images were taken in the historic park, which opened in 1898 to help protect the wildlife of South Africa. According to the Kruger National Park website, the area is home to 147 different types of mammals, 507 birds, 114 reptiles and 34 amphibians.

Ever fancied driving the Batmobile straight from the big screen and into your street? Or perhaps you've always yearned to take the Ghostbusters' Cadillac for a spin? Well now it's possible to do both thanks to brothers Marc and Shanon Parker - who have designed and built a fantastic fleet of movie-inspired vehicles. Among their wonders on wheels are lifelike versions of Batman's Tumbler from the Dark Knight film trilogy and the much-loved Ghostbusters car - or Ecto-1 as the spook-hunting team call it. The brothers have even made an Optimus Prime truck, based on the most recent Transformers movie, as well as a Tron-inspired motorbike. Scroll down for video . Park your eyes on these beauties: The Parker brothers' Batman Tumbler and Ghostbusters Cadillac . Fuelling envy: Designer Shanon Parker fills up his Ecto-1 at a petrol station in Port Canaveral, Florida . Marc said: 'We get a lot of reactions in the street - a lot of times people will come up next to us and box us in, wanting to take pictures. 'We test-drove one of our motorcycles on the road and the police were called because we were causing a traffic jam. If you're doing something that's causing that kind of reaction, you know you're doing something right.' Take Bat! The brothers' impressive version of the Tumbler, Batman's car in the Dark Knight trilogy . Attention to detail: The number plate and interior are very similar to the original Batmobile . Real deal: The Tumbler in the 2005 movie Batman Begins, which was directed by Christopher Nolan . The car-crazy brothers from Port Canaveral, Florida, started building versions of the vehicles they most loved for their own enjoyment four years ago. Marc, 45, said: 'We didn't have the money to pay people to customise vehicles for us, and what we needed didn't exist so we had to learn to build our parts. 'Every part of the Tumbler was made from scratch in our shop - the frame, chassis, wheels, glass, everything. 'I don't know what it cost to build - I'd probably cry if I looked into it - but as far as value, it's one of the most expensive vehicles we own.' Prime mover: A truck made to look like autobot Optimus Prime in last year's Transformers: Age of Extinction . Neat fleet: Marc (left) and Shanon show off their Tron-inspired bike and other vehicles at their workshop . He and Shanon, 44, have now turned their hobby into a business - called Parker Brothers Concepts - and they hire out their movie-inspired cars and motorbikes to fans. They also customise standard cars and bikes for clients, several of whom are famous. Shanon is in charge of design, while mechanic Marc brings the drawings to life in the brothers' workshop. He said: 'We mostly deal with a lot of celebrities and royalty since they have disposable income. 'We've had clients like 50 Cent, Flo Rida, Lil Wayne and John Cena, and have done work for Universal Pictures. 'The movie cars are used in promotions or premiers - clients want something that can be driven around rather than sit there like any other prop. 'Some of these cars can cost upwards of close to a million dollars, depending on what it is.' Classic car in a classic movie: The real Ecto-1 being driven in the 1984 blockbuster Ghostbusters . Almost identical: The Parker brothers' version makes a fuel stop - and puts the other cars in the shade . It hasn't always been an easy ride, however. Marc said: 'Shanon thinks if he can draw it, I can build it - but it's more difficult than that. 'He knows very little about mechanics so he's not limited like a lot of designers who have engineering degrees - there's nothing holding him back when it comes to design. 'In the beginning we fought because we come from different realms but now it's a back-and-forth process.' Made to order: The brothers in a Hummer SUV that they customised to look like an army tank for a customer . Rev-elations: Marc on one of his bikes, and the Green Machine that has won a world record . The brothers' ingenuity has earned them a place in the Guinness World Records, namely for their 'Green Machine', which was commissioned by the Huffy bike company for the re-release of the 1970s toy of the same name. The Parkers' version has a 43-inch (109-cm) front wheel - the largest ever wheel on a three-wheeled motorbike - and is powered by a Harley Davidson motor. Marc said: 'When someone says it can't be built, we gotta build it - we push ourselves and show people that you don't have to be limited to what's out on the market. 'We always want to get that wow factor. And when it's finished, it's like seeing a kid being born.'

Duo started out by making versions of famous vehicles they loved . Celebrities and wealthy film fans are flocking to buy the pair's creations . The fleet includes a Transformers-style truck and 'Tron' motorbike .

(CNN)We're 2 degrees from a different world. Humans never have lived on a planet that's 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) warmer than it was before we started burning fossil fuels, in the late 1800s, and climate experts say we risk fundamentally changing life on this planet if we do cross that 2-degree mark. "This is gambling with the planet," said Gernot Wagner, the lead senior economist at the Environmental Defense Fund and co-author of the book "Climate Shock." Think super droughts, rising seas and mass extinctions. Yet for all of its importance, I don't think the 2-degree threshold is as famous as it should be. I've heard it referred to as the "north star" for climate negotiations. Meaning: This one little number carries huge importance as a way to focus the world's attention. It's so significant that it's going to be the subject of my reporting for the rest of the year. I'm calling that effort "2 degrees," and I need your help to make it work. Until 5 p.m. ET Monday, you can vote on the first story I'll report for the series. Vote using the Facebook poll below (or go here if you don't see it.) Tell CNN's John Sutter which of these climate change stories you like best - and he'll report on the winner. This poll closes Monday, April 27, at 5pm ET. #2degrees . All of those story ideas came from you, by the way. They focus on what a 2-degree world might look like. CNN kicked off this effort with a Facebook chat last week. We asked for your questions about climate change and about the 2-degree threshold, specifically. I don't have all the answers right now. We'll continue to explore the importance of this number together. But below you'll find quick responses to seven basic questions about this crucial number. Many of them come straight from you, the readers. And I tossed in a couple of my own. If you'd like to follow this project as it evolves, I'd encourage you to sign up for the "2 degrees" newsletter. And feel free to ask more questions in the comments section below. They'll shape the way I spend the rest of the year reporting on this super-critical number. One guy, it turns out. William Nordhaus, an economist at Yale. Nordhaus, 73, proposed the 2-degree threshold in a 1977 (1977!) paper titled "Economic Growth and Climate: The Carbon Dioxide Problem." The estimate was "crude, but it was a reasonable first start," he told me. "If there were global temperatures more than 2 or 3 degrees above the current average temperature, this would take the climate outside of the range of observations which have been made over the last several hundred thousand years," he wrote in "The Climate Casino." A growing body of research now supports the idea. Science has continued to raise red flags about 2 degrees of warming. And that work has led policy experts to conclude that a 2-degree world is something none of us should want. "You need a judgment call for these things," said Carlo Jaeger, chair of the Global Climate Forum, who has written on the history of 2 degrees Celsius. "And this 2-degree thing was a judgment call that happened at the interface of science and policy." Germany was first to push 2 degrees as an policy goal, Jaeger told me. That happened in the 1990s. Later came the European Commission, the G8, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and, most significantly, the Copenhagen Accord, which was signed by more than 100 nations who agreed 2 degrees would be too much. The United States was among the signatories. I'm going to spend the month of May exploring this question, so look for more on this. But here are some striking facts about what scientists expect a post-2-degree world to look like. These are pulled from reports by the National Research Council, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the World Bank. • Wildfires in the United States are expected to increase 400% to 800% in size. • Hurricanes are expected to become 2% to 8% more intense.• A range of species will be at risk for extinction, particularly amphibians. The IPCC estimates 20% to 30% of animals and plants species will be at "increasingly high risk of extinction" at or near the 2-degree mark.• The Arctic is expected keep melting, losing 30% of its annual average sea ice.• Certain crop yields in the United States, India and Africa are expected to decrease 10% to 30%.• The availability of freshwater is expected to decline by 20%. So ... not good. And numbers don't convey the emotional toll. "I'm from New Mexico," said Nordhaus, the economist who proposed the 2-degree threshold. "I love it there, and I know it's going to be a completely different climate. The trout fishing probably won't be as good. The hiking won't be as good. These forests may look completely different, or burn down. I love to ski. It's one of my things I love most. And that's obviously affected by warming. I love the ocean, and the New England coastline, and it's in peril. That's just for starters." No one knows, exactly. Think of 2 degrees like a sort of speed limit -- or a zone of increased risk. Katharine Hayhoe, a climate scientist at Texas Tech, told me that burning fossil fuels is like smoking. How many cigarettes give you cancer? No one knows, exactly. But the more you smoke, the more you up your risk. And 2 degrees, policy experts agree, is certainly risky territory. Plus, everyone hates a fraction. Targeting 1 degree of warming is "ridiculous because you can't do it," said Nordhaus, the economist. "Three sounds too high. And you can't have a fraction because it's too complicated. "So two is kind of an obvious number." The climate already has warmed 0.85 degrees since the Industrial Revolution. And we reasonably can expect to reach 1.5 degrees simply based on the pollution we're already putting into the atmosphere, even with "very ambitious mitigation action" to reduce carbon emissions, according to a 2014 report from the World Bank. Some of that warming is "locked-in to the Earth's atmospheric system," that organization says. The impacts of climate change already are being felt. Yes, but it won't be easy. "If you want to stay below 2 degrees, you have to reduce emissions at an amazing speed -- to an incredible degree," said Jaeger from the Global Climate Forum. Here's the best guess for what that "amazing speed" might need to look like: Cutting greenhouse gas emissions by some 80% to 90% by 2050, said Jennifer Morgan, global director of the climate program at the World Resources Institute. "It depends on how much risk you want to accept," she said. Some activists, including those from 350.org and Avaaz, which together organized the largest climate change rally in history last year in New York, want to accept less risk than that. "Our position is 100% clean energy," said David Sievers, a senior campaigner for Avaaz. If we continue burning fossil fuels at the current rate, we could hit 2 degrees of warming before midcentury. Scarier still, we could hit 3 to 5 degrees of warming by 2100. Some writers have called for the world to abandon the 2-degree target, saying it's too ambitious, or even naive. But we need a yardstick to measure progress -- and we need that "north star" to help us set goals that actually would be weighty enough to make a dent in this problem. If you think 2 degrees sounds bad, 5 degrees is far, far worse. The IPCC expects a 5-degree world to be characterized by "major extinctions around the globe" and a "reconfiguration of coastlines worldwide." Just beyond that, at 6 degrees, we're looking a "catastro-f***" that would be almost "infinitely costly," said Wagner, the Environmental Defense Fund economist. "It's akin to killing the planet, basically. Or society on the planet." This much should be clear: Something has to change. If we shoot for 2 degrees and end up at 3, that's still better (or less awful) than 5 or 6. What's important is that we maintain a sense of urgency, and keep sight of the goal. Please be in touch!

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce lamented his side's 'nerves and panic' which saw Stoke snatch a dramatic equaliser deep into stoppage time to earn a 1-1 draw at Upton Park. The Irons looked to have done enough to battle to victory after taking an early lead through a superb free-kick by full back Aaron Cresswell. However, after seeing two efforts from Marko Arnautovic ruled out for offside and a header by substitute Mame Diouf hit the post, the visitors snatched a deserved point five minutes into stoppage time when the Austrian winger crashed the ball into the far corner. West Ham manager Sam Allardyce was left disappointed after seeing his concede late on against Stoke . Allardyce will be scratching his head as to how he can help his side hang on to slender leads . West Ham remain in top 10 despite their late slip-up . West Ham remain in the top 10, but Allardyce knows their position should have been much more comfortable after witnessing yet another late capitulation from a positive position. 'You have to give Stoke a bit of credit, but from our point of view, we did not play as well as we can,' said Allardyce, who revealed striker Diafra Sakho is set for a spell on the sidelines with a thigh injury. 'It was not about us playing well or not, it was about winning and we had got ourselves into a fantastic position . 'When you are less than 30 seconds away from winning the game and you don't, that is the ultimate blow. 'We are very nervous on that stage based on what happened before. 'We should be on 50 points now, we have thrown away seven points in two minutes or less over four games. 'We cant find the right key elements to see the game out and leave ourselves on a nervous edge by having a little bit of panic in what we are trying to do which is coping with the opposition when they have to take more risks, playing more direct. Stoke celebrate after Marko Arnautovic's equaliser during the dying stages of the Premier League clash . Aaron Cresswell, pictured with West Ham team-mate Mark Noble, had put his side in the lead . 'While it was a very good goal, we should have dealt with it and kept possession better, using your intelligence to make sure you are doing it.' Allardyce added: 'If we had concentrated better in those (last) minutes, we would be sitting on our greatest total and finish ever in the (Premier) League. 'Instead we are scratching our heads on when are we going to finish a game out again. I thought we were going to do it today, but finished miserably in the end over just a few seconds.' Allardyce is out of contract in the summer, with the club's owners yet to decide in which direction they want to take West Ham ahead of their move to the Olympic Stadium. The 60-year-old, though, intends to remain professional in his approach over the final matches of a campaign which had earlier promised so much. 'It depends on what you say. Do you say what is the overall season like? It should be 50 points, it should be very, very good. It is small margins of victories to draws and draws to defeat,' Allardyce added. 'In the judgement at the end of the season, or if not what happens before that, then we talk about what we are doing going forwards. 'We are still on course to beat the best points record we have had, but we are making it hugely difficult for ourselves now when we really should be coasting instead of looking forward to every game we are playing.' Allardyce has revealed star striker Diafra Sakho is expected to be out for an estimated two to three weeks . Senegal forward Sakho limped off in the second half, and if the problem proves serious, he might not recover before the end of the campaign. Allardyce said: 'If it is a grade one off the scan, then it could be two to three weeks, if it is more, then you would be lucky to see him again this season, which is a massive blow but we have to deal with it.' Stoke boss Mark Hughes felt his side had done more than enough to end a run of three straight defeats. 'We are thankful for small mercies, because we did not think we were going to get what we deserved,' he said. 'I thought we totally dominated the game and should have won it by a country mile. 'We had the setback from the great free-kick early in the game, and it is difficult when you are the away side to come back. 'We showed great resilience and stuck at it, trying to create things, but just lacked that bit of quality at the top end. 'If one of our disallowed goals had counted, I think we would still have had time to go on and win the game. 'We want to better last season's total and are determined now to get something out of all of the matches we have left.'

Stoke claimed a point thanks to stoppage time goal by Marko Arnautovic . Sam Allardyce believes his side panicked in closing stages of match . West Ham remain in top 10 despite failing to cling onto three points .

Garissa, Kenya (CNN)First came the gunshots. Then the footsteps, as Al-Shabaab militants followed her into her dorm room. Cynthia Cheroitich went into a closet, covering herself with clothes. Her two roommates hid under their beds, until the gunmen called them out. "(The gunmen) told them if you don't know to read to them in the Muslim word, whatever, and then you lie down," Cheroitich told CNN. "And then, if you know, you go to the other side." The 19-year-old student at Kenya's Garissa University College didn't see what happened next, but she heard more than enough. "They were shooting everywhere," she said. "I didn't want to open my eyes." For the next two days, Cheroitich didn't budge. Unable to get to water, she hydrated by drinking body lotion. When police went into her room -- well after the carnage was done, with 147 dead at the school -- she didn't believe them. Only a visit by the head of the university convinced her that, finally, it was safe to come out. "I was scared so much," she recalled. Cheroitich's survival story, which she recounted to CNN on Saturday, is a rare bright spot in what has been a horrific week in Garissa, a town about 90 miles from the Somali border, and throughout Kenya. It is all due to Al-Shabaab, the Islamist extremist group that is based in Somalia but hasn't confined its terrorism to there -- as evidenced by Thursday's university attack and the 2013 siege of Nairobi's upscale Westgate Mall. Saturday, the terrorist group warned that more carnage is coming as it promised "another bloodbath" in Kenya. The threat drew a sharp response from Nadif Jama, the governor of Garissa county. "The fallacy and satanic mindset of Al-Shabaab is that in Somalia, they kill Muslims and Somalis," Jama said. "They cross the border here and then say they are killing non-Muslims. That is a tricky way of doing business." Jama said the militants were "bent on nothing but destruction" and aimed to sow division between Muslims and non-Muslims. "But that is something we need to fight," Jama said. Police in Garissa on Saturday paraded the bodies of men they said had carried out the attack. The corpses -- locked in a macabre embrace and partially wrapped in an orange tarp -- were piled on the back of a pickup truck and driven to a primary school soccer pitch for viewing. A large crowd gathered, despite the baking sun and foul stench. The truck drove up next to the onlookers, so that they could inspect the bodies. Anger seethed in the crowd. "These gunmen, they killed innocent children. We want to burn these people," one man told CNN. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta also had some harsh words Saturday for Al-Shabaab, as well as any those who supported them. Five arrested in Kenya attack . In a nationally televised speech, Kenyatta said the nation's fight against terrorism "has been made all the more difficult by the fact that the planners and the financiers of this brutality are deeply embedded in our communities and were seen previously as ordinary, harmless people." Kenyatta condemned "corruption of the worst and most criminal kind (when) Kenyans ... finance, hide and recruit on behalf of Al-Shabaab." "There is no form of legal penalty, social shaming and godly condemnation that they do not deserve, to the fullest extent," the President said. Describing Al-Shabaab as an "existential threat to our republic," Kenyatta urged his fellow Kenyans to "tell those that believe a caliphate is possible in Kenya that we are one indivisible, sovereign and democratic state." "That fight will never change," he added. "Our forefathers bled and died for this nation. And we will do everything to defend our way of life." Kenyatta declared three days of national mourning for the victims of the attack. Inside Garissa University College dorm's scene of slaughter . Christian Purefoy reported from Garissa.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Thursday demanded that all sanctions on Iran be lifted at the same time as any final agreement with world powers on curbing Tehran's nuclear program is reached. Khamenei, the Islamic Republic's most powerful figure and who has the last say on all state matters, was making his first comments on the interim deal reached last week in the Swiss city of Lausanne. In remarks apparently meant to keep hardline loyalists in line, he warned about 'deceptive' intentions of the United States. Reuters reported that the crowd chanted 'Death to America!' during the speech. 'Instant annulment of all sanction is one of the demands of our officials,' Khamenei said in a speech broadcast live on state television,' according to translations published by Reuters and the nonprofit Foundation for Defense of Democracies. But he hedged on whether there will be a deal in place at all by the June 30 deadline. 'I neither support nor oppose the deal, since nothing has happened yet,' he said. 'All the trouble arises when the details will be discussed; it may be that the deceptive other side wants to restrict us in the details.' SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . NO DEAL: Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Thursday that nothing is final and Iran will continue to insist on a complete withdrawal of sanctions . Khamenei tweeted his dismissal of what the White House claimed Tehran had agreed to . His stand on the lifting of sanctions matched earlier comments by President Hassan Rouhani, who said 'we will not sign any agreement, unless all economic sanctions are totally lifted on the first day of the implementation of the deal.' These include nuclear-related United Nations resolutions as well as U.S. and EU nuclear-related economic sanctions. 'All #sanctions should be removed just when the deal is reached,' Khamenei tweeted later. 'If sanctions removal depends on another process then why [have] we started to talk?' A senior Israeli defense official said in a radio interview after the speech that Iran could still obtain a nuclear weapon if sanctions were lifted immediately, and would have more money to spend on arming regional proxies. 'The moment the sanctions are removed, tens of billions [of dollars] will flow to their coffers,' Amos Gilad predicted. 'They will get rich. They will have the power to support the entire network of missiles and rockets.' The U.S. State Department on Thursday repeated its position that sanctions against Iran would be removed gradually. 'Under the agreed-upon parameters, sanctions will be suspended in a phased manner upon verification that Iran has met specific commitments,' State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said during a daily press briefing. 'We're not going to respond to every public statement made by Iranian officials,' Rathke said, 'or negotiate in public.' State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke held firm, saying 'sanctions will be suspended in a phased manner upon verification that Iran has met specific commitments' One of those statements, from Khamenei, accused the White House of misleading the world with its claims of what was in the framework agreed to in Switzerland. 'Americans put out a statement just a few hours after our negotiators finished their talks ... this statement, which they called a "fact sheet," was wrong on most of the issues,' Khamenei said during his speech. 'In most regards,' he claimed, it 'was faulty, incorrect and contrary to the substance of the negotiations.' In the U.S., Omri Ceren, press director at The Israel Project, told Daily Mail Online that Tehran has a good chance of winning a tug-of-war over what Secretary of State John Kerry and his Iranian counterpart Javad Zarif actually agreed to. 'The Iranians have a 100 per cent record of forcing the Americans to bow to their interpretation whenever there's a dispute over Iranian concessions publicly declared by the Obama administration, including and specifically on fact sheets,' Ceren said Thurdsay. 'There's a good reason why Congress is increasingly worried, even as American negotiators assure them that they're telling the truth.' Ali Alfoneh, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Daily Mail Online that up-front lifting of sanctions is a bad idea that might be put into practice anyway. 'A gradual lifting of sanctions in return for each step taken by Tehran is the only way to secure Tehran's cooperation in the future,' Alfoneh said. 'We are also concerned the Obama administration is so desperate for a nuclear deal, that Washington will give more concessions to Tehran,' he added.' Secretary of State John Kerry played a major role in nuclear negotiations that some observers now say are unraveling quickly . Khamenei claimed Thursday that the White House had lied about the substance of talks in Switzerland . Another area in which the parties seem to disagree is the question of monitoring and access to Iran's nuclear sites. While Kerry and Obama have emphasized expectations that Iran will let International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors tour and inspect their facilities at any time, Khamenei threw cold water on the idea. 'Any unconventional inspection or monitoring which would make Iran into a special case,' he said Thursday, 'would not be acceptable.' 'Foreign monitoring on #Iran's security isn’t allowed,' he added on Twitter. Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehqan also told the state-run FARS news agency on Thursday that Iran had not agreed to let international inspectors enter its nuclear facilities, which are typically enclosed on military installations. Ali Alfoneh of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies said his group is 'concerned the Obama administration is so desperate for a nuclear deal, that Washington will give more concessions to Tehran' 'No such agreement has been made,' Dehquan said. 'Principally speaking, visit to military centers is among our redlines and no such visit will be accepted.' Khamenei and Rouhani spoke during a ceremony on Thursday marking Iran's National Day of Nuclear Technology. 'Our goal in the talks is to preserve our nation's nuclear rights,' Rouhani said. 'The Iranian nation has been and will be the victor in the negotiations.' The U.S. and EU sanctions have choked off nearly 1.5 million barrels of Iranian exports per day since early 2012, reducing its daily oil exports by 60 percent to around 1 million barrels. The tentative accord was a step towards a settlement that would allay Western fears that Iran could build an atomic bomb, with economic sanctions on Tehran being lifted in return. Negotiators from Iran, the United States, Germany, France, Britain, Russia and China will resume negotiations in the coming days to pave the way for a final deal. Since relations with Washington collapsed after Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution, enmity towards the United States has always been a rallying point for Iranian hardliners. 'I was never optimistic about negotiating with America... nonetheless I agreed to the negotiations and supported, and still support, the negotiators,' Khamenei said, . 'I support a deal that preserves the interests and honor of Iran.' The United States and its Western allies say it is vital that Iran fully cooperate with a U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) investigation into past nuclear activities that could be related to making weapons. Israeli defense official Amos Gilad predicted that when Iranian sanctions are dropped, 'they will get rich' and 'will have the power to support the entire network of missiles and rockets' Khamenei is now saying no foreign inspectors, including those from the IAEA, will be allowed to tour the military facilities where Iran's nuclear operations are housed . Khamenei ruled out any 'extraordinary supervision measures' over Iran's nuclear activities. 'Iran's military sites cannot be inspected under the excuse of nuclear supervision,' he said. A final deal would require a vigorous monitoring framework to ensure Iranian compliance. The negotiators have been working out a monitoring mechanism that would involve the IAEA. This has not been considered a sticking point in the nuclear talks. France, which has demanded more stringent conditions on Iran, said the comments by the Iranian leadership showed that reaching a final deal would be difficult and that in any case there would need to be a mechanism in place to restore sanctions if Tehran violated its commitments. 'Subjects still remain that we aren't agreed on, notably on economic sanctions, and the Supreme Leader has made statements that show there is still a lot of work to be done,' Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told lawmakers. 'We are going to keep the position we have held from the beginning, which is constructive but extremely demanding,' Fabius said. Khamenei also said the tentative deal did not guarantee reaching a comprehensive deal by a June 30 deadline. 'What has been achieved so far does not guarantee a deal or even that the negotiations will continue to the end,' Khamenei said, adding that an extension of the deadline should not be a problem. He then reiterated Iranian denials that Tehran was seeking to build a nuclear weapon.

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN)It is an unimaginably hideous outcome. To be raped by your cousin's husband; be jailed for adultery as your attacker was married; to suffer the ignominy of global uproar about your jailing and assault, but be pardoned by presidential decree; and then to endure the shame and rejection from a conservative society that somehow held you to blame. The solution in this society? Marry your attacker. That's what happened to Gulnaz, who was barely 16 when she was raped. She's now carrying the third child of her attacker, Asadullah, who was convicted and jailed -- though this was then reduced. Gulnaz's plight -- like so much in beleaguered Afghanistan -- disappeared from the world's gaze once she was pardoned and released courtesy of a presidential pardon. Instead of a new start, what followed for Gulnaz was a quiet, Afghan solution to the "problem" -- a telling sign of where women's rights stand in Afghanistan despite the billions that have poured into this country from the U.S. government and its NATO allies during more than a decade of war. We found Gulnaz in her family home. Smile, the name of the daughter born of the rape, is now a shining little girl, bouncing around the house that her mother shares with Asadullah's first wife -- who is also Gulnaz's cousin. Asadullah agreed to let us speak with him and Gulnaz because, it seemed, he wanted to show us that things were now settled, that under Afghanistan's version of social morality he had done the right thing. He had rescued Gulnaz from shame. "If I hadn't married her, (but) according to our traditions, she couldn't have lived back in society," he tells us. "Her brothers didn't want to accept her back. Now, she doesn't have any of those problems." 2011: Thousands sign petition for Gulaz release . Gulnaz remains subdued throughout our meeting and does not once look her husband in the eye. "I didn't want to ruin the life of my daughter or leave myself helpless so I agreed to marry him," she says. "We are traditional people. When we get a bad name, we prefer death to living with that name in society." As Smile attempts to pour tea, the other seven children in this household run around the courtyard. The first wife remains unseen in the house. A portrait of Gulnaz's liberator in 2011, the then-president Hamid Karzai, hangs on the wall. But the sense of order here is undermined by the fact that this is a house built around a crime. How Gulnaz ended up here requires some explanation. There was pressure upon her to marry her attacker after her release. But at the same time, other activists were trying to assist her with an asylum bid abroad. "Unfortunately, Gulnaz was heavily pressured to marry her attacker by various people within the government which, in and of itself, was immensely disappointing," her former attorney, an American citizen named Kimberley Motley, tells us. "Gulnaz was constantly told that neither she nor her daughter would be protected if she did not succumb to their pressure to marry... Gulnaz essentially became a prisoner of her environment. "As an uneducated, young, single mother with no family support, it would have been an uphill battle for Gulnaz and her daughter." Local pressure won out. She was introduced to her attacker in the shelter where CNN first interviewed her upon release from prison. They talked and it was agreed she would marry him. Most disturbingly, the woman who -- despite knowing the stigma it would create around her -- defiantly insisted she had been raped when we spoke nearly four years ago, now says she was told by her relatives to make up the allegations. "Now she is beside me and knows that it was not as big as they had shown it," says Asadullah. "No I am not thinking about it anymore," Gulnaz adds. "I don't have a problem with him now and I don't want to think about the past problems. My life is OK... I am happy with my life... It is going on." She is then permitted to talk with us alone. Asadullah moves away but stands close to the door of the room. Though she now maintains she was not raped, she explains her decision. She contradicts her husband, saying her brothers would have taken her back, had she not married him. "My brothers opposed the marriage and told me to take my daughter and go to Pakistan to live with them instead," she says. "But now we're married, they disowned me and won't see me again." Her decision was for her daughter. "No, I couldn't fulfill my wishes in life. I married this man; I cut relations with my family only to buy my daughter's future." It is truly chilling to see how things have gone for Gulnaz after the level of international attention her story received -- pregnant with the third child of the man who was once her rapist, accepting a life as his second wife, trapped in his home.

Gulnaz was jailed after the attack as her rapist was married . Her case gained international attention; prompted a presidential pardon . She was forced to marry her attacker or face disgrace .

A father who is paralysed from the waist down has been told he can only have a disability grant to adapt his home if his wife gives up her job and goes on benefits. Mike Hand from Haydock in Merseyside became wheelchair bound after being diagnosed with a tumour on his spinal cord. The 39-year-old is almost ready to leave St Helen's Hospital after undergoing surgery and rehabilitation. Mike Hand pictured with his wife Kate, who has been told he can only have a disability grant to adapt his home if his wife gives up work . Mr Hand, left, has been left wheelchair bound after being diagnosed with a tumour on his spine. He now says he needs to make adaptations to his home in Haydock, Merseyside, right . But after he and his wife Kate, who have an eight-year-old daughter called Mia, tried to claim for financial support to adapt their semi-detached home as they have no bathroom downstairs, they were told they weren't eligible. The couple were told that because they don't claim any income support or benefits, they would have to earn 'virtually nothing' to receive the grant. Mrs Hand, a credit manager for a tool hire firm who earns between £25,000 and £35,000, said: 'It's crazy. I understand that benefits need to be means tested and I agree with that. 'But it's not as if we are after ongoing weekly benefits - just funding to help us create a safe and comfortable home for my husband, who has suffered massively through no fault of his own. Mr Hand and his wife were told that because they don't claim any income support or benefits, they would have to earn 'virtually nothing' to receive the grant . 'If I gave up work we could claim for everything and would be entitled to everything, but because I work and would like to continue to work, we get no help. 'We're having to rely on my salary alone to support two adults and a child. At the end of the month there's nothing left. 'It's a classic example of the system working against the worker. They're almost forcing us to stop working and claim off the state.' The couple are wanting to adapt their home to incorporate a downstairs bedroom and bathroom. But they say because they are unable to do this, it is placing a strain on the family. Mrs Hand added: 'We live in a normal semi-detached house. We don't have a bathroom or bedroom downstairs and my husband will be expected to spend all of his time in the family living room with very little dignity or privacy.' Mr Hand, a former construction worker, became wheelchair bound after doctors failed to spot a tumour in his spinal column, despite him regularly visiting his GP at Haydock Medical Centre complaining of pain. He was referred to hospital for a CAT scan when only an MRI scan would have picked up the growth, caused by a build up of spinal fluid, which stretched half the length of his spine. Eventually the tumour was detected after he was finally sent for an MRI scan in July 2014, when complaining that while running he felt as though he couldn't lift his feet off the ground. He then underwent a 10-hour operation to remove the tumour as surgeons described his diagnosis as a 'ticking time bomb'. But due to existing nerve damage and the trauma of the operation, he has been left paralysed from the waist down with doctors unable to say if he will ever walk again.

'Having said that, we want to help - and are exploring other ways of supporting the family, including the possibility of direct payments to assist Mr Hand at home. 'We look forward to discussing these options with them.' Meanwhile a Haydock Medical Centre spokeswoman added: 'We would like to offer our sincere sympathies to the patient at this difficult time. 'It would be inappropriate for us to comment further due to patient confidentiality, however we want to assure patients that we always aim to provide the best possible care.'

(CNN)Blues legend B.B. King was hospitalized for dehydration, though the ailment didn't keep him out for long. King's dehydration was caused by his Type II diabetes, but he "is much better," his daughter, Claudette King, told the Los Angeles Times. The legendary guitarist and vocalist released a statement thanking those who have expressed their concerns. "I'm feeling much better and am leaving the hospital today," King said in a message Tuesday. Angela Moore, a publicist for Claudette King, said later in the day that he was back home resting and enjoying time with his grandchildren. "He was struggling before, and he is a trouper," Moore said. "He wasn't going to let his fans down." No more information on King's condition or where he was hospitalized was immediately available. B.B. is short for Blues Boy, part of the name he used as a Memphis disc jockey, the Beale Street Blues Boy. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, and has 30 Grammy nominations. King, 89, has used various models of Gibson guitars over the years, and named each one of them Lucille. In the 1980s, Gibson officially dropped the model number on the guitar he used last and most. It became a custom-made signature model named Lucille, manufactured exclusively for the "King of the Blues." Some of his hits include "The Thrill Is Gone," which won him his first Grammy in 1970, "There Must be a Better World Somewhere" and "When Love Comes to Town," a collaboration with U2. Last year, the bluesman suffered from dehydration and exhaustion after a show in Chicago, forcing him to cancel the remainder of his tour. CNN's Greg Botelho and Sonya Hamasaki contributed to this report.

Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has laid into referee Lee Mason after he failed to award Newcastle a penalty during their 2-0 defeat at Liverpool on Monday night. An incident in the 38th minute of the game, saw Ayoze Perez felled by a reckless challenge from Dejan Lovren. Although replays clearly showed the defender scything Perez down and not making contact with the ball, Mason did not point to the spot. Neville said during his analysis, 'It was an absolute stonewall penalty. The gasp in the ground, Lovren just kicks him right in the knee.' Ayoze Perez drives into the Liverpool box on 38 minutes only to be brought down by Dejan Lovren . Lovren makes a rash challenge and does not make any contact with the ball, sending the Spaniard tumbling . Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville could not believe that a spot kick was not awarded to the Magpies at Anfield . He added that Mason's perfect positioning should have led him to make the correct call. 'I think we said it last week, in the game, we always look at the ref's position. But you look at Lee Mason's view of it and he's got no excuse, he's staring right at it there, he's so close, within five or six yards. It's just a poor decision.' Before Lovren's foul, Raheem Sterling had put Liverpool in front with a curling effort just inside the box on 9 minutes; and Joe Allen wrapped up the three points for the home side with a rifled shot into the roof of the net late on following a failed clearance from Mike Williamson. The misery was only to be compounded for Newcastle, as stand-in captain Moussa Sissoko saw red for a second bookable offence. With Newcastle trailing 1-0, a penalty could have offered them a way back into the game, but nothing was given .

Hibs boss Alan Stubbs is among the front-runners for the manager's job at Wigan Athletic after Malky Mackay was sensationally sacked on Monday. Stubbs is currently embroiled in a tough promotion battle with the Easter Road side, but is believed to be among Wigan's top targets as they battle to avoid relegation from the Championship — they are currently second bottom. Stubbs' No2, John Doolan, formed part of Uwe Rosler's backroom staff at the DW Stadium before the German was sacked in November. Hibs boss Alan Stubbs has emerged as a candidate to succeed Malky Mackay after he was sacked by Wigan . Malky Mackay was sensationally sacked by Wigan Athletic following a dismal run of results since November . Doolan joined Stubbs in Edinburgh in July last year and both men — who also worked together at Everton's youth academy — are highly regarded by new Wigan chairman David Sharpe. Former Celtic defender Stubbs who is on a two-year contract in Leith, has steered Hibs into the play-off positions in Scotland's second tier, albeit they have stumbled of late after three successive defeats. However, he would face an altogether different challenge with Wigan. They are eight points from safety after the 2-0 home defeat by Derby spelled the end for Mackay, and must win their next two games against Fulham and Millwall to stand any chance of survival. Former Scotland defender Gary Caldwell is expected to be handed the job on a temporary basis, while ex-Wigan player Danny Wilson is also under consideration. Former Wigan defender Gary Caldwell looks set to be handed the manager's role on a temporary basis . Meanwhile, Mackay's bid to rescue his managerial career was left in tatters after his dismissal. The 43-year-old was told of the decision during a brief meeting with Sharpe after losing to Derby. Mackay was handed the job by former owner Dave Whelan back in November against a backdrop of an FA investigation into a shocking series of text messages, exposed by Sportsmail. Cardiff City manager at the time, Mackay is accused of sending racist, sexist and homophobic messages in an exchange with former head of recruitment Iain Moody. The Scot remains under investigation by the FA and Monday's developments will not alter the speed with which his case is dealt. Sharpe, just a month into his new role as chairman, looked forlorn after Monday's game and made a snap decision to axe the Scot. Mackay won only five of his 25 fixtures in charge and picked up just three home points — damning statistics referenced in the club's official statement. Sharpe said: 'This is a very difficult decision to make but I feel that, for the long-term future of the club, there must be a change now.' Sportsmail understands Mackay was close to suffering the sack in February but victory at Reading granted him a stay of execution. Wigan were content with keeping him until at least the end of the season and kept faith with the divisive figure. Sources at the DW Stadium also indicated that Mackay was ready to build a similar recruitment structure to that at Cardiff and had been sanctioned to do so. He remained defiant they could stay in the division immediately after losing against Derby. 'It's still mathematically possible,' he said. 'It's fine lines between winning and losing in this league.' Wigan chairman David Sharpe has said that it was a 'very difficult' decision to sack Mackay on Monday .

The businessman father of a 15 year-old girl who fell 19 floors to her death says he is ‘distraught’ as he faces the prospect of losing a second daughter to social services while his wife remains in police custody. Nick Cousins, 57, was arrested over alleged 'ill treatment' of Blanca after it emerged police are investigating whether her birth, and that of her 14-year-old sister, were ever registered. It is also alleged that they did not attend school. She died in the early hours of Tuesday after falling from the family’s luxury apartment in Hong Kong. Mr Cousins was also questioned over claims that his Filipino partner, Grace Garcia Cousins, 53, had overstayed her visa by 20 years. Scroll down for video . Blanca Cousins, 15, who fell to her death from her family's flat in Hong Kong this week, told friends she went to an American school to explain why they never saw her in a uniform . A mother at the local pony club Blanca and her sister attended said that not even the sisters' closest friends knew they weren't going to school . He was released on bail yesterday pending police inquiries. Speaking for the first time, from the £7.5 million family home, he said: 'I am distraught. We all are. There is nothing else I can say.' Police yesterday applied for a 'care and protection order' for his second daughter but she has been returned home pending a second court hearing. Ms Cousins remained at a detention facility. Mr Cousins, originally from Thurrock, Essex, is managing director of the Hong Kong arm of international insurance broking firm Jardine Lloyd Thompson, and has worked for the firm in Asia for more than 20 years. It is understood that his partner moved to Hong Kong from the Philippines in the 1990s to work for Mr Cousins as a domestic helper before becoming his partner. It is unclear whether they had married, although she uses his surname. Their two children were both thought to have been born at a private hospital in Hong Kong. The couple were watching television in the family’s home, on the 19th floor of Hong Kong's most luxurious apartment buildings, when Blanca locked herself in a bathroom following a row at around 2am. She fell to her death from a window just before dawn. Paramedics declared her dead at the foot of the building in Repulse Bay Road. It is alleged British businessman Nick Cousins, 57, and Filipino Grace Garcia Cousins, 53, never registered the births of Blanca and her 14-year-old sister Carla . A police spokeswoman said a security guard found Blanca lying on the ground at the foot of the apartment . Police sources claimed while no suicide note had been found they were aware the girl had been 'unhappy' in recent weeks. Blanca – who was known as Blancs – was due to celebrate her 16th birthday in July. If their births were not registered, it means she would not have been able to attend school, travel abroad or receive medical treatment – unless paid for privately. School attendance is mandatory in Hong Kong, but a more relaxed approach is taken with expatriate residents and some 'home school' their children without official permission. She appeared to have enjoyed a relatively normal life, and seemed to have a wide circle of friends among the city’s well to do expatriate community. She was a member of the Hong Kong Pony Club and had recently attended Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament, after her father secured a box there, and had invited friends to join her at the event. Today, the mother of a member of the Hong Kong Pony Club where the sisters attended regularly told MailOnline everyone at the club was shocked with the news. 'The two girls told us they went to an American school in Hong Kong and that was why they weren't wearing uniforms. They seem to have had it all planned,' the mother, who asked not to be named. 'Even one of the girls closest to Blanca did not know they weren't going to school. 'Blanca was a lovely girl and everyone is in absolute shock. We had no idea what was going on. At first we wondered if her death was down to cyber bullying, but when we found out the story we couldn't believe it at first. The girl's father has been named as Nick Cousins (pictured) the managing director of insurance broker Jardine Lloyd Thompson's Hong Kong office . 'I met the mother once at a pony camp but I never saw her again. Her dad was always here. He would pick the girls up after pony club and take them home. He was very kind and we thought they were a normal family with a dad that was involved with his children. 'Was it one lie that led to another lie? We simply don't know.' It is understood that she received private tuition with her younger sister. Yesterday, some of her friends paid tribute and expressed their shock at her death. Chiara Martin said on Twitter: ‘R.I.P Blanca Cousins You were a great friend and a sister to me’, posting a picture of Blanca nuzzled up to a pony. Charmaine Kima said: 'Such devastating news of Blanca and her family #RIPBlanca #staystrong.’ The 21-storey apartment block is one of the city's most prestigious addresses, with four-bedroom apartments selling for £7.5million each while they rent for £8,000 a month. Neighbours told the local Apple Daily newspaper that they would often see Blanca walking her dog ‘smiling’ or carrying books. They said her mother was ‘elegant’ and often accompanied her husband when he went out. They said she would talk to neighbours, but rarely spoke about their private life. Last night, police would not comment whether or not the girls were registered saying only that the matter was ‘under investigation’. Officers have applied for a ‘care and protection order’ for the youngest daughter. However the court is not due to rule on this until early May, and she has been returned to her family in the meantime. She is understood to be back at the family home with her father. Ms Cousins remained at a detention facility which houses illegal immigrants last night. A friend of the couple’s said yesterday: ‘The girls were/are adored by their parents, anyone knowing them knows this - but it’s a shock to even their close friends that they didn’t attend school, no-one knew this.’ This week, one expat who knows Mr Cousins described the family as 'down to earth and decent'. He added: 'He isn't a Hooray Henry at all, like so many of the expats in top jobs in Hong Kong. He's more of an Essex-boy type who worked his way up the corporate ladder and is just very bright and very good at what he does.' Tragedy: Blanca fell to her death in an apparent suicide early on Tuesday morning after locking herself in a bathroom of the apartment in Hong Kong's exclusive Repulse Bay Road (pictured) The 21-storey apartment is one of the wealthy city's most prestigious addresses with luxury four-bedroom apartments selling for prices in the region of £7.5million . A police source last night said: 'Initial investigations showed there were no suspicious circumstances and [Blanca] was suspected to have fallen from a height. 'We arrested a 53-year-old Filipino female for overstaying and a 58-year-old British male for aiding and abetting an overstayer. 'Both have also been arrested for suspected ill treatment of the girl. Our investigations indicate the girl was unhappy with her life.' Last night a spokesman for the Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group said: 'We can confirm that our colleague Nick Cousins, the managing director of our Hong Kong office, has suffered the loss of his eldest daughter in tragic circumstances. 'We are giving Nick our full support through this difficult time and he will be on compassionate leave until further notice. 'We are aware that the authorities are investigating a number of matters that have come to light in the wake of this tragic event. As these are private matters, it would not be appropriate for us to comment further. 'Our thoughts are with Nick and his family.'

Mad Men star Jon Hamm's secret college bullying shame has been exposed by court documents unearthed from the actor's time at the University of Texas at Austin. According to shocking arrest warrants and summons seen by Star magazine, the 44-year-old Golden Globe winner allegedly set fire to one pledge after viciously beating him and using a claw hammer to drag him by his genitals during a hazing ritual gone wrong. The documents claim that Hamm, 44, was eventually charged with assault in connection with the sadistic November 1990 initiation, but he managed to get the charges dismissed before he began his ascent to superstardom. Scroll down for video . College student: Jon Hamm is pictured here in the University of Texas at Austin yearbook for 1990 (left) - the same year he was allegedly involved in a hazing scandal at the Sigma Nu fraternity. The actor is pictured (right) this week . According to the explosive court documents, Hamm was in his sophomore year at UT-Austin when a prospective 21-year-old pledge was called to the Sigma Nu house at 2.30am. When he got there, according to Travis County Court documents, Hamm - who was then aged 20 - and other frat brothers ominously told him, 'It's going to be a long night!' The unidentified junior was then allegedly subjected to two hours of brutal physical attacks as part of his fiery baptism into the fraternity. The alleged victim told police that Hamm and other members hit him with a paddle 30 times and then lifted the pledge off the floor by his underwear, 'pulling it back and forth in a sawing motion', causing 'great pain'. The pledged then claimed that Hamm led him to a basement 'Pit' where he slammed the junior's face into the ground while he was doing push-ups and then allegedly stood on his spine with his full weight. Shockingly, after this, Hamm is then supposed to have set fire to the pledge's pants and refused to let him pat the flames down, but instead made him blow them out. Shame: The allegedly assault saw Hamm and seven other frat brothers set fire to a 21-year-old pledge and beat him with a paddle . At the end of the vicious hazing ritual, the pledge was taken to a part of the frat house called the 'Party Room' where Hamm 'hooked the claw of a hammer underneath his genitals and led him by the hammer around the room'. Allegedly not content with this, Hamm then went onto to break into another potential pledge's room that night and subjected him to a similar torturous initiation. However, the morning after, the mother of the first pledge was called to his room to find him 'hiding in a closet at his apartment, his buttocks and legs black with brusises.' Despit pleading with his mother not to go public, saying 'They'll come kill me!', she reported the incident to the police. High school senior: These pictures of Jon Hamm are from 1989, the year he graduated from John Burroughs School in Ladue, Missouri and one year before his admission to University of Texas at Austin . Early career:  Jon Hamm is pictured here on the 1996 show The Big Date - one year after he had his arrest warrant dismissed and six years after the alleged hazing incident . Huge hit: Man Men and the character of Don Draper has given Jon Hamm his biggest role to date - winning a Golden Globe for his work on the AMC series . Eight warrants were issued for Hamm and seven other frat members, which was shut down for a time after the alleged incident. Three members of Sigma Nu were sentenced to 30 days in prison for the hazing ritual and Hamm was eventually hit with hazing and assault charges in 1991. In the wake of the hazing incident, the Sigma Nu fraternity was shut down in 1990 after the pledge's mother made her son's alleged assault public by going to the police. In 1990, the AP reported that Sigma NU would close and that seven students were being punished after pledges were 'physically and psychologically attacked'. The-then national president of Sigma Nu, James Cherry, said that he was revoking the charter of its UT-Austin, saying, 'Basically, we're out of business on this campus'. 'But our fraternity was founded in opposition to hazing in 1869 and we will not tolerate any form of hazing today.' A warrant was issued for Hamm's arrest in 1992 but the actor reached a plea deal with authorities in 1995 and the charges were dismissed. He returned home to live with his family in Missouri and the actor - who recently emerged from a 30-day stint in a rehab facility - began his acting career. A friend told Star that although shocking, 'The hazing incident was an isolated incident in Jon's life. Since then, he's been strong enough to take steps to make himself a better person.' Hazing incident: Following the alleged assault of the 21-year-old pledge, the Sigma Nu fraternity at UT-Austin (pictured) was shut down . Recently, the Mad Men star has admitted that playing the complex role of Don Draper has taken its toll. In an interview he gave just weeks before he checked himself into rehab last month for 30 days, Hamm opened up about the effect that playing Madison Avenue ad man Don Draper had on his psyche. The 44-year-old star told Variety: 'Playing this guy does not come without its own difficulties, it’s not fun to live in this guy’s headspace year after year.' He added: 'People ask, "What’s the difference between you and Don?" Look, I drink, I get drunk. I’m not immune to that, . 'And (creator) Matt (Weiner) will tell you, the darkness in Don has not abated, it’s gotten worse year after year. It’s relentless. And it can be hard on you as a person. I love coming to work; I love the people I work with. But it’s been rough.' As he reflected on being offered similar roles and being typecast as the dark, brooding, alcoholic womanizing character, Jon revealed he wants to distance himself from that persona.

Terrorists are undergoing training in rural areas of west Wales, it has emerged. Locations in Ceredigion, Powys and Pembrokeshire are also being used to radicalise Muslims, according to an officer from the Wales Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit. Those involved in such activities 'take part in seemingly ordinary activities' in the community but 'have an ulterior motive', Detective Constable Gareth Jones said. Training: Locations in Ceredigion, Powys and Pembrokeshire in west Wales, illustrated above, are being used to radicalise Muslims, according to an officer from the Wales Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit . Speaking to Ceredigion Council, DC Jones stressed that issues surrounding terrorism were not confined to large cities. Incidents of Islamic extremist activity in Wales can be traced back to 1998, when it is claimed hate preacher Abu Hamza sent a group of 10 extremists to train in the Brecon Beacons, in Powys. The area is one of several locations used by the British military for training. Its rugged terrain helps prepare soldiers, including elite forces personnel like the SAS, physically and mentally for warfare. In 2005, two of the 7/7 bombers, Mohammad Sidique Khan and Shehzad Tanweer, were photographed white water rafting at the National Whitewater Centre in Bala, North Wales. Five years later, three would-be terrorists from Cardiff were arrested as part of an Al-Qaeda inspired gang who plotted a 'Mumbai-style' series of terror attacks on Britain.

He said: 'It really is vital that if any intelligence comes from the community that we look at it. We don't want that intelligence to drop off.'

A Celtic treble is gone, but the recriminations, anger and sense of injustice will linger and fester for some time to come. Cup defeats to Inverness are rarely a tranquil affair. On a fateful night in Glasgow 15 years ago the Highlanders inflicted the first of their damaging, deeply defeats on Scotland's champions. They've made a habit of it down the years. Yet in a re-enactment of the night Caley went ballistic their players celebrated David Raven's late, extra-time strike by sliding joyously on their fronts before a small, delirious support. David Raven (second right) celebrates with his Inverness team-mates following his extra-time winner . The celebrations continue on the pitch as Inverness rejoice in reaching the William Hill Scottish Cup final . They will be back here in greater number for this club's first ever Scottish Cup final against Falkirk – a former club of manager John Hughes - on May 30 where they will be favourites to triumph. 'That doesn't sit nice with me,' said Hughes afterwards. 'I love to be underdogs. I love to create a siege mentality.' This dogged, energetic Inverness side – driven on by their man of the match captain Graeme Shinnie – perform better as underdogs. Yet who can dispute they now have an outstanding chance of winning their first major trophy, a mere 21 years since the acrimonious amalgamation which led to their entry to the senior ranks? Before then comes weeks of uproar. Days of Celtic anger, finger jabbing and injustice over the standard of officiating here. Not, it must be said, without justification. The standard of Scottish refereeing remains an ongoing embarrassment. Supporters of other clubs believe Celtic have had their share of favourable decisions down the years. If that's true this was a pretty savage slice of karma. Virgil Van Dijk (centre) fired Celtic into an early lead with a superb free-kick in the 18th minute . A goal to the good via Virgil van Dijk's superb 16th minute free-kick the Parkhead side were denied a clear penalty kick – followed by an Inverness red card for Josh Meekings - before half-time. Celtic's Stefan Johansen was deftly played through on goal, his shot parried across goal the face of goal by Inverness keeper Ryan Esson, where Leigh Griffiths seemed certain to score with a swooping header. The hand of Meekings blocked the ball, yet additional assistant referee Alan Muir - standing five yards away – failed to see it through the bodies in his way. With Meekings off and a chance to make it 2-0 from 12 yards this could easily have been the Celtic walkover people expected. Where Inverness are concerned, we should all know better. Four times in the last 15 years they have denied their more feted opponents big victories in league and cups at a critical juncture. Greg Tansey shoots past replacement goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska to equalise for Inverness . And the turning point for this latest triumph came in 53 minutes. In a bitter, unpalatable irony for Celtic supporters it came from a penalty. And a red card for their keeper Craig Gordon after he upended Marley Watkins as he outstripped Adam Matthews and hared in behind the Celtic defence. The decision to dismiss the Celtic keeper was correct. That the officials had gone this one right – while making such a hash of the first half equivalent – was of no consolation to Celtic's players and management at time up. Ronny Deila began a slow, menacing trudge towards the other side of the pitch to confront referee MacLean and his officials. His captain Scott Brown, making his a little too forcibly, had been dragged away seconds earlier. 'I didn't say so much,' said the Norwegian. 'I just asked if he knew what he had done. That's it. He didn't know. He hadn't seen it.' Virgil van Dijk's post match protestations were strong enough to earn a booking. Edward O'Fere gave Inverness the lead in the 96th minute despite the attention of Van Dijk . 'Everybody of course gets angry,' added Deila. 'But that's why football is interesting, it's a tough world, that's why it's so hard to get the treble. It's small details that can make you fail and today it was a small detail that made it hard for us.' To say so, however, is to overlook a rather large obstacle in Celtic's way; Inverness. For Lukasz Zaluska, Craig Gordon's deputy, the task of keeping Greg Tansey's penalty out with his first touch was a tall order. James Forrest had also been sacrificed in a tactical manoeuvre and suddenly Inverness, with their one man advantage, had the legs and the running. On a diet of three games a week the champions elect looked tired and leggy, their bench options limited. With Forrest gone they were neutered. Who could have predicted that when they began the game with purpose and intent? Nir Bitton smashed a first time right foot shot off the junction of post and bar in 12 minutes. Four minutes later they took the lead with a superb strike from van Dijk. John Guidetti levels matters in the 116th minute with a well-taken free-kick . Inverness defender Gary Warren was booked for a crude - if vital - foul on Forrest on the edge of the box as the Celtic winger threatened to use his pace to rampage the Inverness support. Van Dijk took the free kick, curling a magnificent right foot effort into the top left hand corner of off the inside of the post. On league duty last week Inverness had recovered from the loss of an early goal and so it was here. In last season's League Cup Final defeat to Aberdeen in Glasgow the team in blue stood accused of being dour and unadventurous. The same couldn't be said here. Whatever the Celtic injustices, they can hardly deny their opponents played to devastating effect on the break. They should have been out of the game by half-time. Celtic had the chances. Yet their captain Graeme Shinnie had an outstanding game, proving the man of the match. When the highlanders equalised they were the stronger sharper team. A weary Celtic clung on slightly for extra-time. And in 95 minutes it seemed they were broken when Shinnie's cross from the left touchline ricocheted off the knee of Marley Watkins into the path of striker Edward Ofere. The Nigerian, who had blown a golden opportunity to level in the first half, guided his shot low and true past the outstretched left hand of Zaluska. Craig Gordon might have made the save. In every sense Celtic looked weak and vulnerable now. They weren't out of it completely. Not yet. Celtic players stand dejected on the pitch following their 3-2 loss . In a personal disaster for Inverness stand-in keeper Ryan Esson – who had enjoyed a fine game beforehand – allowed a swirling John Guidetti free-kick to bounce over his outstretch hands and into the net for 2-2 12 minutes into extra-time. Inverness could – should have had a second penalty when the unconvincing Zaluska clattered his fists into the back of Ofere in 108 minutes. But they wouldn't be denied. With four minutes of extra-time to play. David Raven, castigated by his manager before extra-time, slammed the ball into the net from an acute angle after more outstanding work by Shinnie, driving into the area and hammering the ball across the face of goal. 'Coming into extra time he was sitting down,' said Hughes in some disgust afterwards. 'I grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and told him to stand up because sitting down is, for me, a sign of weakness in those circumstances.' Such was the Inverness strength that Celtic were done. They were gone. Their upporters drifted away silently, but in the days to come they will have plenty to say. And for Scotland's referees there will be no avoiding the din.

Virgil van Dijk gave Celtic the lead with a superb free-kick . Josh Meekings escaped a red card just before the break for a hand ball . Celtic keeper Craig Gordon was sent off early in the second half . Greg Tansey's penalty and Edward Ofere put Inverness ahead . John Guidetti equalised, but David Raven had the final say .

(CNN)Film critic Richard Corliss, whose populist passion for all genres of movies illuminated Time magazine's coverage of cinema for 35 years, died Thursday night in New York City. He was 71. Corliss died a week after suffering a major stroke, according to a tribute on Time's website by colleague Richard Zoglin, who called him "perhaps the magazine's most quoted writer of all time." Unlike some critics, Corliss appreciated all kinds of movies -- from the arty drama of Ingmar Bergman to the epic fantasy of "The Lord of the Rings." His all-TIME top 100 movies list, which he compiled with fellow Time critic Richard Schickel, contained everything from "Pulp Fiction" to "Finding Nemo" to Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master II." "He savored it all: the good, the bad, the indifferent. Except that he was indifferent to nothing," Zoglin wrote. "To any fan or friend who would ask whether a new movie was 'worth seeing,' Corliss had a stock, succinct reply: 'Everything is worth seeing.' " But Corliss was not afraid to puncture hype around big movies he found overrated, including "Titanic" ("dead in the water") and even -- blasphemy! -- "Star Wars," about which he wrote, "The movie's 'legs' will prove as vulnerable as C-3PO's." He also didn't care much for sentimental, uplifting movies that often become mainstream hits and win Oscars. "There are movies whose feel-good sentiments and slick craft annoy me so deeply that I know they will become box-office successes or top prizewinners," he once wrote. "I call this internal mechanism my Built-In Hit Detector." A graceful and prolific writer, Corliss reviewed more than 1,000 movies, penned many Time cover stories and authored four books on film, including "Mom in the Movies: The Iconic Screen Mothers You Love (and a Few You Love to Hate)," published just last year. (It was a partnership with Turner Classic Movies, which, like CNN, is owned by Turner Broadcasting.) Some credit him with coining the phrase "drop-dead gorgeous" to describe actress Michelle Pfeiffer in a review of her 1985 film, "Into the Night." He also cleverly, and subtly, gave away the big plot spoiler of "The Crying Game" by spelling it out with the first letters of each paragraph of his review. Born in Philadelphia, Corliss moved to New York after college and began writing film reviews for a variety of publications before joining Time in 1980. He served as editor of Film Comment, the movie journal of the Film Society of Lincoln Center, for 20 years, was a frequent guest on Charlie Rose's talk show and made annual pilgrimages to film festivals in Cannes, Toronto and Venice. "It's painful to try to find words, since Richard was such a master of them," Time editor Nancy Gibbs wrote in a note Friday to her staffers. "They were his tools, his toys, to the point that it felt sometimes as though he had to write, like the rest of us breathe and eat and sleep. It's not clear that Richard ever slept, for the sheer expanse of his knowledge and writing defies the normal contours of professional life." He is survived by his wife, Mary, a noted film critic in her own right, whom he married in 1969. People we've lost in 2015 .

(CNN)A mammoth wave of snow darkens the sky over Everest Base Camp. Appearing like a white mushroom cloud roaring over the climbers, they scurry as their tents flap like feathers in the wind. Then panic hits. "Whoa! Whoa!" Screams and expletives are heard. The few people in the video scatter and dive into a tent as the deluge of snow falls over them. Cursing and breathing heavily, they wait until the pounding is over. After a while, they scream to each other, "Are you all right?" "Are you OK?" The camera jostles back and forth as German climber Jost Kobusch heaves to catch his breath. Nearly 4,000 dead in Nepal earthquake . When they finally emerge from their avalanche ordeal, their faces are scarlet and their bodies crusted in snow. They trudge away, completely dazed and shocked. "The ground was shaking from the earthquake and as soon as we saw people running, we were running ourselves to save our lives," Kobusch wrote in a post on his YouTube video. The harrowing two-minute clip shows the unimaginable scale of the avalanche that smashed into Everest Base Camp on Saturday. At least 17 people have been killed, with dozens injured and several missing -- likely buried beneath the snow and ice. The fates of the climbers and the local hires are one part of the enormous human toll in Nepal from the catastrophic quake that has so far claimed the lives of more than 4,300 people. At least 8,000 people were reported to have suffered injuries. Helicopters brought stranded climbers off the mountain Monday amid growing concern for the groups stuck around 20,000 feet (6,100 meters) high in Camps 1 and 2. The climbers who were higher up Everest appeared to have avoided the deadly avalanche that struck Base Camp, but many -- estimated to be in the hundreds -- could not descend on their own. The climbers can't head down because the dangerous Khumbu Icefall has been ravaged by a series of aftershocks. The aftershocks sent snow and rocks thundering down the mountainside, complicating rescue efforts. Tshering Sherpa, who manages the icefall route, estimated that 100 to 200 people were stuck in the higher camps after the avalanche. "Bottom line, the icefall has been deemed impassable at this point," said Alan Arnette, a climber and Everest blogger who was at Camp 2 when the avalanche struck. He said that climbers at Camp 2 and others higher up would descend to Camp 1 (elevation 19,500 feet) to await helicopters. Arnette was helicoptered down to Base Camp on Monday. Witnesses said three helicopters rescued climbers and Sherpas from Camp 1, taking two people down at a time. Carsten Pedersen, a Danish climber at Base Camp, said that he heard a steady stream of helicopters ferrying people from the mountains back to Base Camp throughout the morning. "They land every 10 minutes here," Pedersen said. "I estimate half the people have been rescued, and it's probably less than 200 people in the mountain this morning. I wouldn't be surprised if 100 people came down already." The window for helicopter rescue was expected to be between 9 a.m. and noon Monday. The helicopter rescues are heavily contingent on the weather. Jim Davidson, a climber on Everest, tweeted that the evacuations were going well. Down at Base Camp, Jamlins Sherpa said he counted about 22 body bags that were to be transported back to their families in Kathmandu. The death toll on Everest is still unclear. In an audio blog recorded from Camp 2, Arnette signed off with this message: "It's important, it's not about mountaineering. This is about the earth and it's a horrible loss of life at Everest Base Camp and down at Kathmandu. "It's a massive loss of life." A member of Arnette's team, Eve Girawong, a medic from New Jersey who worked on the mountain, was killed at Base Camp, according to her family and employer. Several Everest climbing teams have confirmed deaths. Five Nepali staff members were killed at Everest Base Camp and Camp 1, according to Adventure Consultants. It did not identify the staffers. Three Sherpas from the 360 Expeditions team died, the company posted on its Facebook page. Their names were also not revealed. The foreign casualties at Everest Base Camp include Dan Fredinburg, an American executive at Google who died after suffering a major head injury, and Tom Taplin, a documentary filmmaker from California. "He was blown away by the blast rather than being buried in any rubble," Taplin's wife, Corey Freyer, told CNN affiliate KABC. The exact number of dead remains unclear. CNN's Jessica King, Jethro Mullen, journalists Wayne Chang and Naomi Ng contributed to this report.
